Hi,
Lately my focus has been less on expanding the collection, and more on enjoying what I have.
After a period of mostly shooting, I am now back to tinkering a bit.
These three have been on the surgery table. And the Boyt gun slip has a new zipper.
It has the right length for the Sears 180. I do like these short slips; most are way too long for my airguns.
I have put a valve stem in the Sears, that was resealed by Lawrie. That will provide many years of trouble free plinking.
The Victory had a slight leak from the valve; that is solved now with some new o-rings.
It is harder to pump than an Innova, but a nice gun nonetheless.
The Light Pattern had a few loose screws after about 200 shots: the two screws that attach the trigger guard to the action, and the two screws for the plate on the side of the tap.
Those are now secured with a bit of blue Loctite.
The screw for the trigger guard in the stock, had no "bite" anymore in the wood.
After consulting my friend Zuko, I filled the hole with JB Weld, then drilled a new hole, and now the screw "works" again.
It is nice to experience that these little airgun tasks make me very happy; I guess most people on here know what I mean.
Cheers, Louis
