Works like a charm now!

I kept adding silicone lube and tried fixed valve at bottom (#8 & #9) over and over in vain. Rubber balls had a lot of gunk, so did #19 o-ring.

Refilling with a broken pump kept me worried during every shot. No more!

GKU or any expert – is there a list of o-ring sizes on…Read more

I tried to rebuild my MK3 after 3years of decent use with a kit from PA. I put together everything properly with good silicone lubricant (o-rings).

When I attempt to pump now, pump rebounds after downward push. There is no need to pull up the handle and air is not being pumped. To pump any air, I have to hold the…Read more

Shroud vent holes are not uncommon (e.g: Huggett) among air rifles, this is just my touch (after rear bush blew off). I will try electrical tape and a db-meter app.

I will definitely apply Magazine reload marking stickers and try out thicker O-ring – simple but awesome tricks.

Hill MK3 was their last one. MK4 is made by someone else, appears to be comparable to any other pump.

I own a MK3 from 2013, love it. Have been filling Marauder since then, no water issues. I still use it to pump Cricket to 250bar.

Recently, I…Read more

As everyone knows, some barrels like 5.53, some like 5.52 or 5.51 and pellets from same box vary in size.

When a pellet is inserted on breech end, the skirt presses hard on rifling, as you push it thru, marks are formed on skirt and resistance is lowered. The amount & length/distance of resistance should depend on size and material…Read more

I feel better already that its not an entirely dumb idea.

Dayotat100: 1.2″ at 200yds is commendable achievement!! When u install aluminum endcap, do you take to second bushing out ? Keeping 3points of support in straight line is way difficult than keeping two & especially because of gap that exists with stock bushings. But…Read more

Also notice that I didn’t use the thumb screw at the bottom of grip, it projects out too much.

Anyways – real question what was the air pressure in tank ? & did you have a shroud installed ?

I have a condor, 0.22 @ 2500psi and loud sonic crack with Beeman Kodiak 21.12 gr.

I was attempting to install Air Venturi thumb hole stock, but no matter which positions of butt plate/stock/clamp on tank I tried, a gap would appear. To make it seat flush, I ground the snub on stock, cut out a piece of aluminum, made holes, threaded them, made a new butt plate (with a little C shape). I…Read more

Bushing projection from frame: 1/2 inch.

implies barrel from frame: 6.5 inches.

I received mine 2 weeks ago, have shot only 3 pellets. I filled air to 3000psi, went to backyard for opening shot and then booom-crack. Good lord ! I knew condor(0.22) is very loud & not backyard friendly, but actual experience is beyond surprise. As loud as 9mm pistol.

I reduced pressure by…Read more
