I have a 22 crossman pump like the one above.  It needs new seals.  I ran it across the chronograph last summer when I first got the chrony.  Same velocity at 2 pumps as at 5 or 8 or 10.  New seals would likely make a huge difference.

Its a pretty easy and straight forward job too!  O rings are about 10$...

I did my pops two weeks ago.. took less than a hour. He is shooting it again!  :P :P :P

STILL waiting on the Sheridan's here...  :o :o

The one in California getting the upgrades and re-build isnt due till mid June. So that's on schedule!  :D :D But the one that was lent out... SEVEN years ago STILL has not found its way back to me. Apparently the guy who borrowed it is on no apparent hurry to return it. I have heard all the excuses now...  Two weeks ago it was he lost my emails and my address. This week he cannot find a box and has been very busy...

In the mean time, I have been building up a 1377 into a carbine. I also souped up the valve and Piston and have reached almost 800 fps  from a gun factory rated at 550fps.

I joined the club this weekend.  My father-in-law asked to borrow a pellet gun to dispatch a rabbit that has been eating his garden.  Besides mine being inaccessible during the remodel, I knew it's seals were shot and it would probably just annoy a rabbit.

So, a local store had a Beeman RS2 dual caliber single shot air rifle.  They didn't have any decent 22 pellets, but had some ok .177 pellets.

I installed the .177 barrel and headed over to my house where I had a framed but not sheetrocked great room that is 33' across.  Made a great 25' range.

Once i got it all dialed in I put 9/10 pellets in a junk lightswitch.  Not the switch plate, the actual switch.  It's, I don't know, maybe 1/2" wide and 3/4" tall.

My father-in-law has it now.  Although, it appears that perhaps the rabbit got the memo, since he hasn't appeared at his usual time since the rifle was purchased.

Ain't that the way it always goes? If you're ready for it, it doesn't happen! ;D
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

That RS2 is a fine shootin' air gun!  Another friend also just picked one up!! Beeman guns are top quality airguns!  I know you will enjoy it!

I have started the re-build. The stocks have been sanded and steel wooled and currently have 6 coats of finish applied.



The workings are apart, as much as I can with out one important tool. The rebuild kit was $25 and the tool $20 shipped.




I also drilled and tapped the breech for a Williams peep site.



More to come!

REDLINE

I don't have anything against air guns, but pretty much limit myself to my Daisy 880 Powerline (which has literally hundreds of kills to its and my credit).

A girlfriend once bought me a Beeman spring piston air rifle for my birthday.  After about shot #50 or so it broke and that was then end of that.  Guess it was the thought that counted.  Anyway, it went right into the trash barrel.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

Sorry to hear that. Too bad too as Crosman owns Benji and they are an American company with a good warranty. They would have made it right!

Well I decided eight coats was enough!  :o ;D Here is BOTH sets of Sheridan wood.
  I am very pleased with these! The newest Sheridan is the lighter colored wood, its on top in the first two pics and on the left in the last. The set from my original gun is the one I just finished. I fit a Marlin pad to each of them. New brass screws hold the trigger guards replacing factory rivets on both as well.

Now I'm just waiting for the repair parts and tools.  ;)
