Inside the Hummingbird–Now the tuning & issue begins!
I will post all internals and how the bird work and whats need tuning or improvements in this Topic. This BP is going to be a hit, vary well made over the cricket.
Got her today so I will cover several area as I go along tuning and adjusting:
1. the gauge isn’t aligned properly in my book. So if you have a standard cricket gauge socket it will fit the HB, but 1st the AT must be vented
under the trigger guard is where the standard fill hole and use the same fill probe as the cricket, as you can see on the photo near the fill hole is
the bleed screw—-> its a larger heavy duty screw compare to the cricket. After all the air is vented the AT can be unscrew—this AT wall thickness is thick and heavy–so vary unlikely you wont dent the AT in normal use–even dropping the HB. the oring that seals the AT is 3mm X 30mm. the fill
check valve is the same size as the cricket, had to increase the fill rate to my liking vary easy to do.
2. Now I’m having issue with the bolt blowing back when shooting pellets, when it does a lot of air will blow on your cheek and scare the shit out of me the 1st time it happen also the speed will drop about 8 to 12 fps. now it blow back about 2 to 3 time a mag full that not good—have to find this problem. Has to be the locking ball of some type—its like a free floating bolt after its cock if nothing locking it in place it will blow back! If anybody has this problem let me know!!!! 😥

Thats crazy talk! everyone knows that people are exactly who they say they are on the internet!
you guys have Hoot: all wrong. He was recently outed at a gun show and found to be quite articulate and intelligent. Then he reverted back to the character you all know and revile….I mean love (LOVE!!!). It seems to me he’s just possibly assuming he has to dumb it down a notch to fit in here. I’m not embarrassed though. I like him this way! :rofl:

See what did I tell you??? Who on earth takes a shit? I’d rather leave a shit than take one! Poor Hoot, stinky hands and all.
Thanks…it helps to have a friend during times like these.
I’m going to take a shit. Why don’t you join me? We can talk….
Hoot:
Ignore them.
Hoot:
Listen to those idiots!
Hoot:
Usually he stands in front of the mirror and talks to himself and stands there waiting for the guy he’s looking at to respond. Poor :hoot:
He does that a lot . It isn´t easy to grow old. Some of us will do it with grace and dignity , unfortunately our Uncle isn´t one of those.
You senile old fart.. you are talking to yourself again and responding to you own threads.. 🙄 :15:
Nope….the Cricket valve stem won’t fit the ‘Bird.
Not a problem yet, as no reports of failure of this part has been posted. The Cricket’s problem showed up fairly quickly.
Hoot:
Ernest…I noted the Hummingbird valve rod has the plastic head, as does the Cricket. Would the metal head valve rod work in this valve…is it the same valve as the Cricket?
Might be a noteworthy upgrade, if possible. I don’t trust plastic.

Hoot:
What changes do they want to make other than maybe pursuing the semi auto mode?
Does anyone know?
I talked with Steve and it looks like all from the first shipment are sold. On November 21, I put in an order for a hummer on the next shipment…who knows when that will be filled? LOL
Don’t know if there will be any changes. Hopefully the blowback issue has been corrected.
In the meantime, as I wait patiently…

What next?! reading about Santa Claus packing heat,and liking deer meat??! 😯 Oh, wait. Can’t put anything on the internets if it’s not true. So the groups are reported as they actually happened.
