Q:

how long is too long???

just curious. about how long should you keep an AF rifle cocked before you need to worry about hammer spring fatigue( or any other problem) i know with springers it isn’t a good idea to cock one and leave it for hours, but does it matter with a PCP???

I woke up one morning last week with a piss hardon, I went to take a leak, but when I pushed it down with BOTH HANDS to keep from pissing in my face, my feet slipped out from under me and I hit my forehead on the toilet bowl. Woke up on the floor an hour later.

I am 61, I am hoping that when I am 70 old age will cure this. 😆

😆 😆 you wish…… 😆 😆

Roach, you need to learn the superman position.

Put both hands on the back of it, and lean forwards. Like superman flying. This should give a good angle of attack. 😉

Damn RC! Careful dude. Sounds like you and the misses tried a position that wasn’t so suitable for your age 😆

WOK told me that it can never be too long. Or too thick.

Or too far up his ass for that matter.

LMFAO

Because of spring fatigue or taking a set? Hmmm, I wonder how many back their power wheel off to 0 to release the tension there?

Thanks Dave..didn’t know you could un-cock an Air Force gun that way..never had a need to try it… that being the case, then the whole issue of leaving it cocked too long is a moot point. I personally wouldn’t leave it cocked any longer than necessary.

I find a tree that deserves to get lead poisening and let it fly!
I try to find a nice dead tree pick a spot and see if I can hit that spot.
I then can load a pellet and cock it if I see something else.

I tried that with my side lever RWS 48 but no go. barrel didn’t break ??? LOL!

The whole idea of grabbing on to the end of a barrel and forcing it down has always been counter intuitive to me in the first place.. 😆

Oh, that’s how guys bend their barrells. 😉

Yes!
Put barrel in broken position, hold on to it and pull trigger. Release the barrel slowly.

If it is a break barrel, after being cocked and ready to fire, break the barrel, hold the barrel against the spring pressure TIGHTLY and then pull the trigger and let the barrel move back up to normal

It is the same method with any other action

Dave

What? By pulling the trigger?
