This is more or less the style of valve used in the Weihrauch HW40/Beeman P17 series of single-stroke pneumatic pistols, except the valve is pulled rather than pushed open. I don't know how many people make valve in that style , isn't he better than normal style hammer valve? The advantage of this t...

I got no problem s##ting right into the barrel myself. Hey JSR, can I borrow your chrony to see how fast it goes? I will quote the late Senator Robert A. Taft, commenting on the return of Lend-Lease materials supplied to America's allies during the Second World War: "Lending war equipment is a good...

If you are using a manual air pump, the lubrication system goes into it. In the case you use a motocompressor, it is the same. Always the air that comes out will be lubricated. Commercial devices are not very expensive. I suggest you study thoroughly, what kind of lubricant is a friend of the seal ...

I couldn't find a port to fill the oil and the manual was no help so I contacted Busy Bee customer service and it turns out it goes through the top, so I'm going to need to take the lid it off anyway. What I'd be more worried about are the slides. On, and I don't want to come across as condescending...

As for stripdowns, I've never had a piece of chinese gear that wasn't chock full of grinding dust. Just saying, like. Removed the bolts from the top of the headstock but it wouldn't budge, there appears to be some sealant or something... looks like some frequent initial oil changes are going to hav...

I have been seeking alternatives to paintballs for some time and thought I had the perfect solution in the "dimpled wax shell powder balls" but they are now not available apparently despite the continued listing by several retailers. We stopped importing them due to lack of sales, also they were qu...

Well it has to be cartridge fed select fire, obviously

One suggestion for the front page, instead of showing only 3 recent topics, why not show the active topics and perhaps a greater number to show new visitors more of what the forum has to offer?

If you find "chunks" or an excess amount, a fellow would be wise to tear it right down. Significant investment, and "An ounce of prevention..." as the saying goes. The oil coming out of mine was reasonably clean. It seems like it's relatively easy to remove the top of the headstock, worth taking a ...

Changed the oil in mine before I ran it in and after. Now change it yearly. Doesn't hold much oil so it's cheap insurance. Don't forget to change oil in the apron as well. Do you think that would be enough to remove any residual debris from manufacturing though? https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C...

What chinese stuff usually needs, though, is a teardown and thorough clean to remove all the grinding dust the tongs leave in there, which combines with the oil to make grinding paste. Might as well deburr all those knife-edges they leave all over the place at the same time, too. Manual recommends ...

Sweet! Show us the launcher

Going for a California-legal look.

... but why?

It took some tools to bring you out of the ... metalwork? :D This one is slightly more expensive, but looks way more precise to me. It's very much like the vices I use in the workshop. Also has some nice triangular cutouts in the jaws for clamping round parts. Fair point, that's the one I ended up g...

Purchasing my own property has definitely opened the flood gates :D While you're here, what style of milling vise would you recommend? Is a tilting swiveling vise like this actually useful or am I OK with something more basic for now? I've always mostly used the latter for the Sherline and hardly ev...
