Now, I can sell my exercise machine… 😆
Nice thing about the dry air kit is that it prevents water condensation in the tank (no need to empty it from time to time).
The screw drain on other pumps is only to remove…Read more

With CO2, I found them quite accurate though.

I posted it as a reminder and wanted to give the best drill bit size to use.
There was no intent to hijack the idea.
Many thanks to the original poster.

Depending on the pellets you will use, you will have to start with a different fill pressure and adjust the top hat slightly (+/- .002) to obtain the pellet speed you want.
Make sure you can use your pump is a “clean” spot if you bring it to the range. Sand and mineral…Read more

Silicon grease would be better though…

So far, I shot JSB Exact Jumbo and Crossman Premier.
Both shoot real nice and consistant with CO2 up to 30 yards.
With the HPA tank, they go a little fast but are still quite accurate.
I have an interesting 130 rounds shooting string with the JSB and HPA tank…Read more

This oil meets all kind of specs for military applications on firearms and has a high flash point.

As far as airguns, I saw a video with Tom Gaylor where he uses it to lubricate the pellets so I assumed I could use it safely.
I appreciate feedback though. It seems that FP-10 is the lubricant of choice. Any special reason for it?

1. weight the pellets you are going to use and eliminate the bad ones.
2. shoot two pellets off target to eliminate any mechanical “variations” in your gun (offset springs)
3. use a chrony to mesure the speed of each pellet as you shoot…Read more

Not to worry, I will only polish the grit off the trigger parts. It’s my first airgun but not my first gun either… 😉
I wanted to see how many shots I could get at the power setting I had because it would be similar to what I would get with heavier pellets at lower speed.
Next time, I’ll try to get the JSB at under 1,000 Ft./s…Read more
