ProSport - to de twang or not.....

[StellaArtois Sr]

My ProSport is 1 of 2 untouched rifles and I've got and I have 16 of them. I can assure you though the moment it starts to Boing I will be ordering a TbT kit of guides to get rid of that boing. I have done a lot of
de-boinging rifles and only recently my HW80 developed a boing of which I will be sorting out tomorrow with a TbT pro kit. I may be putting the kiss of death on this, but as of yet none of my rifles have lost accuracy by putting a set of guides in them. They are not hard to do, but you get such a sense of satisfaction when your rifle is very quiet and shoots beautifully, knowing you made it that way.

If it's just twanging but great in every other way have a look to see if it has any grease in it?
It might be bone dry like my two hatsans were, all you would need is some proper Lube not to much and that's it.

A friend's TX was twangy. The steel guide was rattling around in the spring. I put a spare delrin one in. The zero didn't change the gun just sounded better.

I'm convinced - a replacement Spring guide matched to the Spring, is on its way.....

Many thanks

Might be worth taking the spring out and seeing how much moly grease is on it first. It's probably quite dry and needs a
re-lube that's all. The AA rifles are a doddle to remove the main spring anyway.

What we need is a "smack your head against a wall with vigour" emoji.

Don't <smack> ever <smack> say <smack> Fooking <smack> Boiing <smack> again <smack>!

Just saying like.

Haha!

Hey up young Graham.

Long time no see and I hope you're keeping well. And please pass on my regards to Eddie.

Twang? Boing? Dunno really.

The first ever meet was called the Spring Rifle Gathering. Then a Spring Gun Gathering was also mentioned.

Now......I could be very wrong here but, maybe, just maybe the affectionate term "Boinger" actually came from yourself, Graham, and the many chats and banter we used to have and it sort of stuck and it also sorta goes with "Bash", too.

As I say, maybe.

BOING just sounds like more fun!

Twang, to me, although informal, sounds, maybe, slightly more technical-ish? No? Okay then.

"Shooting me Twanger", although sounding like fun, could also be a musical instrument?





If we want more technical, we could call it "resonance".


And you know when you see kids' cartoons and there are often boinging noises, so boing just seems to me to be funnier.


Now, most of the spring powered air rifles and pistols we see at Quigley Hollow (most, not all) are resonance free.

But Boinger Bash still sounds fun and cool?!



And it's about time you dropped in on a Bash, Graham. You'd love it, mister, as I know you like camping and the evening, er, entertainment would be most excellent. C'mon, do it.....lots of PCPs there, too.



Anyways, off to work soon........





BOING!!
