 Have to admit was quite surprisedat how this very bassic hpa unit worked,as rifle is allso shooting rather more accuratly than it did on co2

 Could be worth looking into making a larger capacity regulated unit for this rifle using 3000psi cylander 

 regulated to 850/900 psi.

 got bit more respect for what has to the uglest rifle i have ever owned eh!!!

 Cheers Mike

 18months,barrel seems to have developed a rust ring in the muzzel,barrel fully enclosed in plastic

 moulded on shroud,so have cut front sight off to expose muzzel n removed 20mm of barrel getting rid of rust,recrowned,pushed several pellets thru ,cant feel any tight or rough spots now,so will test for accuracy

 today

 will lap barrel out after test if accuracy good to really clean it out.

 Now think if rifle produces the accuracy i feel its capble of will go ahead n make larger capacity n higher 

 pressure hpa cylander and regulate it to approx 900psi which seems be its sweet spot as producing 11.5

 fpe in this pressure range,tend to think free flowing valve some may get it to just over 12fpe which 

 would be a handy 177 cal rifle as dont have a 177 pcp.                                                                                Cheers Mike                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

 soon,figure if guna get rite into forum pics necessy eh

 Did some accuracy tests today after recrown etc,groups tightened up considerably,but still room for

 improvement,so will now polish crown just case still some small burs present,still chronoing pretty much same consistantly,tried several pellets know are accurate in a co2 version same rifle which is out shooting 

 the hpa version,so dont believe ammo the accuracy issuse,logically its the barrel.

 allso tryed the hpa unit in the other rifle,accuracy exellent,bassically this confirms to me its the barrel

 and likely the crown.as have slugged barrel n cant feel any tight spots and bore now like a mirror,so need figure this one out. 

 Cheers Mike

 remove the plastic assume its not removable,rifle now actually grouping,not as good as any pcps,but lot

 better than the 50mm groups before did thebarrel.

 Now getting 10 shots into approx 40 cal hole,guna leave it at that,good nuff for rats.

 When sorting out the dismal trigger,found trigger has what guess would be a transferr bar of sorts 

 attached to trigger with a steel rod,unfortunatly this mongrel device only works if trigger is pulled

 completly to its max rearward travel postion,which happens to be quite some distance from where the

 sear releases,in other words its a usless bit crap,thats only purpose far i can see is to prevent gun being

 discharged unless trigger is deliberatly pulled until it cant go ant further eh!!!

 Because this nasty little bit steel needs to be between the hammer and valve stem for the bleeding gun 

 to discharge,the hammer being too short to reach valve stem without it.

 Have managed to actually get the trigger itself down to a nice clean breaking predictable unit but damned gun wont fire when trigger releases as trigger needs travel bout nather half a km before the the bleeding 

 transferr bar engages,SO looks like guna have rip the damned thing out,make new longer hammer

 that will reach valve stem without transferr bar,now waiting to catch up with the Gamo rep so can find

 somewhere safe to shove the bloody useless thing up eh!!

 Thats nuff for this episode.

 Cheers Mike

 to run outa things like materials for projects,and only go to town if really need somthing or run outa beer 

 etc n still got beer so no need go town just yet,so guna put this project on hold for while until absolutly have go town for more beer and will get wot need to build a new larger hpa cylander for next stage of 

 project,but having fun with rifle as it is tho 10 shot count bit a pain,rifle is more accurate n powerful

 than when using co2,so was worth while project.

 Cheers Mike

 dunny paper left,noticed she been getting bit scatchy,proberly run out wine n prozac eh!!As didnt want her

 putting epsume salts or other laxitive in me tea,having found the sharp stones on tanker track bit hard

 on the rear end as dunny paper figuered was asolutly essentual i went into town asap yesterday.

 All worked out good,now got months supply beer n dummy paper,sharons back to normal so must got 

 what works for her to,but got to visit me mate at gunshop,loaded up on pellets n 22 ammo,got the alli

 i need to build the endcaps for the rifles new hpa cylander,will use the 1-1/4 inch tubing wingman gave

 me to make new cylander.

 Thought better check n make sure new batch beer was ok,so spent evening on lathe making the new 

 threaded endcap to screw cylander into the valve,must be something wrong new batch beer,coz turned

 out beauty.

 will cut tubing to length n make new frontend cap n fill vave today,even tho to keen going town turned

 out was good idea,got plenty beer n dunny paper,sharon appears to be perfectly happy.so i guess all is

 well again in my little world beyond the burnt stump eh!!

 Cheers Mike

 2500/3000psi fills and run it at valve for 900psi,as gun is running at this pressure in its sweet spot at

 just under 12fpe,perfect for wot i need.

 Am wondering if there is a paintball hpa regulater thats one inch or less outside diameter,this would fit

 inside the alloy tube am using for hpa cylander and could possibly be screwed directly into font end cap 

 of cylander ahead the guns valve.these regulaters not expensive n some adjustable,anyone got any 

 thoughts on both ideas???

 Cheers Mike
