The Air Gun Thread

Hi All, I have a 1979 BSA Meteor breach loader, was in a state when I got it, so I stripped it down,removed the broken spring, degreased it completely with brake cleaner, drilled the transfer port to 1/8th", then counter sunk it with a rose drill bit then polished it till it shone! Polished the entire cylinder and piston
lubricated the assembly with dry PTFE lubricant, fitted a Titan XS mainspring and reassembled the rifle! Somewhat of a difference! I would not want to be on the business end of it! Had some lovely rifles in my time, the best I think was a BSA Airsporter underleaver, lovely rifle.

I would love to see pictures Mate!!
I haven't had a BSA yet but you never know when the opportunity may turn up.

As for me? I've bought or built a lot of equipment to work on Air Guns.
My goal is to open my own shop and offer parts and services.

The Air Guns out there now are not what I played with years ago.

At a job site in Rogers, Arkansas.
Home of Daisy Air Guns!!
My Motel is 4 minutes away from the Daisy Museum so I went there today.

Here's a few pics I took.

Nice. I have about 25 or so Daisy's in my collection.

Nice!
If your anywhere near Kentucky May 13th - 15th?
We have a big Air Gun thing going on.

Some of the newest products on the Market and a shooting range all set up.

This is what a .357 Air Gun does at 100 yards.
