Cedric, Lon, Humerous "spring related" story. You may know that I have a gift for irritating folks. Family heritage ya know ... raised by wolves and all ... Anyway; when I first started making airguns professionally, I went to the Little Rock, Ark. show. Probably Spring of 97 I guess. I took along the #1 and #2 guns. Maybe a few more. I forget. However; of course ... I didn't know anby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Moving this up so Cedric and find it. He's most likely been "slumin" at other sites and missed it. haha. I thought this tip would be a hot topic. Guess I was wrong ... again. Nobody curious about your rig? Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

Hello Lon, That spring WAS professionally made. haha. Made by a grizzled old white haired knome in a little shop in Maryland Gary Yeah ... I should advertize that .... I need a project ...by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hi Cedric, Guess you don't want to hear that I wrap most of my springs ... huh ... Well, the ones I don't wrap, I get in 12 inch commercial packs. I cut, heat, shape, grind, and anneal the ends to close them and make them flat and true. The trick with springs is to NOT overstress them. You have to "scrag" a spring. Meaning to compress it coil bound a few times - even hold it thereby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I just want to make clear that I don't have a problem with someone offering one of my guns for sale - anywhere they care to do so. It would appear that this gentleman bought a bargin, and is looking to resell it. Hardly a story there. I hope he does well, and that the new owner enjoys it. It would seem that everybody discussing this offering, saw it on the YF. So; a casual observer wouldby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Chris, I posted all of that information above. Look up the thread for the red headings, indicating new posts. Everything new won't be at the bottom. Most people respond at the place in the thread for which the new thought applies. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
We'd like to thank all of you who serve, and have served in our military. I know Memorial Day is to remember those who paid the highest price. I do pray for those families, and that the honor of their loved ones gives a special family pride. God Bless them. I might as well go ahead and mention something I've had in mind for some time. My wife and I talked about it, and agreed that it wby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hi Joe, No matter ... he was free to post it here. Don't know why folks don't. Up to them though. Glad they work for you. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hi Kent, Yeah ... I had "elevating the dozer day" on Tuesday. Glad that's over ... exhausting. Hope the fix is relatively linear. Better get some heavy, young help. I'd straighten out that prop under the bucket too ... ... hahah. I still have that old knarly pc. of scrape wood with your name on it. No good for anything else. Too tough to whittle.

Hi Neil, That should make a mess. What's it have, a little film of epoxy sealing it? Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
That's right Jerry. We mentioned yours, Don's, and Kent's. That's most of North America. Good thing you don't know about the four others.by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hello Neil, Yes - it's shrouded. It's very quiet. The shroud tube and internals are solid brass. The barrel is chrome moly. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Off the home page, it's AR Classified. It's rather odd that nobody much uses it. We thought that "ya'll" liked to tinker, sell, and trade. Personally, I have a bunch of scopes I might be willing to shake loose at a cheap price. I'll have to post some stuff myself. I'll look around the shop, and see what I'm banging my head on while I work. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Ummmmm .... educate says he ..... yes ... No? haha. The "correct" slug will be far more accurate at distance. It is a factor of the drop off of round ball. Of course, the incorrect slug for the application won't work as well as the proper sized ball. In the early days .... back when 50 yards was the known edge of the airgun world ... most everybody shot ball. And - most everybody shooby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
In case you want it. Of if Jerry does. Here's the skinny on the Lee mold: Lee has a pistol bullet mold that looks good. It's for a 125 grain, which I suspect is a decent match for you. A two cavity mold it only $18.99 including the handles for it. That's absurd. Other manufacturers charge $30 or more for the handles alone! The two cavity mold is #145-006 It's in .358" It's at wwby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
My only addition would be that we have a Classified Ad section here. Free. Oddly ... nobody uses it but Joe. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

Hi Chris, I know it sounds complex. I'll get beat up for trying (cause I don't have a gun like yours), however; it's an airgun. I know a few things about shooting. Here's some base concepts again, and you can decide what to do with them. When you can get the .360 buckshot, do that. Cedric knows they work well. No question. He also said that he "slugged the bore" of his gun. That meby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hello Kent, Hey - thought the Kayak got ya! haha. Funny ... I've been working on a group of Yukon firing valves over the last couple of days. One is yours. Yeah ... poor Jerry.

It's a very nice 32 caliber carbine. Anybody that wants one need not be afraid of it. I think this guy just snagged it because the last buyer underpriced it. He's a collector of spring guns. Just bought this on a whim. Now wants more spring guns. They don't come up often. I don't have any. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

WEBSITE on airguns! "Awwllll ... worse it gets ... yes? No? Yes? Disturbs the force it does ... does it not? Yes? No? Awlllllll" I think Jerry said he had been saving, and was going to cash in his kid's college fund to get one of those $18 Lee molds in .358" However; I guess it's all for nothing now ....

Hi Chris, The aluminum 80 cubic foot with K valve is the basic unit. It will work. You will find that you pretty quickly use the air though, because the tank only takes 3,000 psi, and your gun most likely wants that or nearly that. You can fill your gun until your tank gets down to where the gun is not effective anymore ... then you have to go have it "topped off".

Hello Chris, There's a whole bunch of missing information somewhere. 1). What's this brass tube on? 2). What happened to it? 3). Since it's clearly a pressure tube ... why does it have a 1 by 1 1/2" square hole in it? That's quite odd. Regarding patching a brass pressure vessel: Don't use it. Make it so nobody else ever tries to use it. You should never use high pressure airby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hey Chris, No talk like that. You enjoy your gun and learn. A hole in the target, at the right spot, is the name of the game. All of my customers have a bunch of different kinds of guns.

Hi Cedric, An interesting trip down commercial lane. I see you've managed to become "street wise" to the area. Yeah ... there's quite a difference between .350" and .375" .... but then, none of these manufacturers are selling "buckshot" to be prime ammo. The early Hornady buckshot (10 years ago) ... was a mess. Just not spherical. All the sudden, when I reordered, it had become neby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Jerry, Don't forget the 38's, the 38 Specials, and the 357 Magnums what are ALL the same size too. All listed at .358" hahah. Love the thirty FIVE numbers being thirty EIGHT caliber. Guess they had a bunch of extra 8's and few 5's in the type drawer ... I'd suspect somewhere in there, as all molds do ... there would be a cheap mold that drops @ .360 and has thin drive rings.
