Nice Baz... does the missus know that her sofa is in "harms way" 

[Bazmati2020]

Hanha, I'm safe it's my sofa in my little office. 
When she's not in the house I can go into the hallway and shoot into it for a bit more distance

So I picked up a GPS (spring) trigger pull gauge from Amazon. I had no base numbers on the 2240 or 2400, since I had already done the mods prior to getting the gauge.

A shout out to AS 13 for recommending the GPS Outdoors trigger gauge. I received mine this week and tested all my airguns. It came in particularly useful when trimming trigger group springs in the Daisy Avanti 853 on a quest to get it to break at 1.5 lb. I apparently favor light triggers.

made a couple of brass safety's and a new front valve section that seals past the roll stamp and serial no stamp on a 2260,this is so i can hpa it safely
pics later as i'm still pressure testing it at present

The wonderful Lawrie Amatruda did a service and reseal of my 600 and she is now running better than ever (and no more locking issue either).
I've reinstalled my longer barrel so I can fit my pickle and here she is on video phutt phutt

Baz... sorry but, "whats" a "Lawrie Amatruda"

I would understand Lorrie Intruder    but Lawrie?

It's a UK thing. Amatruda is known to do very good work on CO2 and SSP guns.

Got my new to me AS2250xt in today wasn`t happy the bolt was stuck wouldn`t move so a teardown was in order found out the last person to work on the gun didn`t know how to instal the breech after tearing it down and putting it back together all is now fine using a 12g to 88g adapter i put a 12g CO2 in the gun and checked for leaks and was lucky no leaks now have to get shooting it  pics later when i can get a nice day to take them

Sorry yes Lawrie knows the 600 inside out and sorted mine which had issues.  Also kindly showed me some of his 600, fantastic Nickle version and 2 rifles as well

I had a bright idea and cut 3" off my 2260 barrel. Looks a little better especially with the ldc on the end. Now I need to break out the chrony and see if it did anything to velocity.  . Seems to shoot as good as before so I guess I did okay on the crown.

You shouldn't have lost anymore than 30 fps.

Glad it still shoots good. Ruining accuracy scares me when thinking about cutting a barrel.

I figured what the heck the barrels are pretty cheap from Crosman.  I checked it over the chrony and didn't lose any velocity and all pellets went into the same hole. I'm happy.

I have almost finished modifying an old camera tri-pod for airgun use.  Did some testing today and it shows some promise.  Folds up, light weight and adjustable.
