I’ve been having trouble with my crosman venom .22cal nitro piston rifle being inaccurate. It was ok when I first got it but accuracy became erratic . I mounted a new Hawke vantage scope and that seemed to help at first , but it was never grouping well. I removed the gun from the stock to inspect condition and clean it up with a rag. I found that the break barrel pivot screw was slightly loose . I mean when it is cocked the barrel just drops drown when gun is held vertical on your knee. I tightened up the pivot screw so there was enough tension to hold barrel at a 90 degree angle without dropping down . I also cleaned up surface around chamber hole ,as well as lubing with a drop of Pellgun oil. I tightened up the scope mount screws and now it is shooting better than ever .

My Gamo break barrel started shooing verticle strings on the target that slowly got worse. I tightened every screw I could get to and saw a great improvment. It didn't last long! The gun would shoot at least a 1" group but it soon got 2" long! I found the screws on the barrel near the front of the stock had loosened again! I put red locktite on the threads and left it overnight to set!. So far so good. Be sure the scope is mounted on rings that have a pin that fits in the hole on top of the gun near the back. This pin keeps the scope from sliding back. Locktite the scope screws too!

I’m a noobie to air rifles , and now ammo is expensive, plus the cost of the shooting range , so I bought a Ruger air hawk elite ll .177 cal. I keep seeing all these mixed reviews , and I’m trying to learn how to maintain this gun so it lasts , I’ve never seen a cleaning kit for .177 air gun and a brass brush seems a bit hard for minor lead deposits so I’ll make a swab out of weed wacker string and cloth with a bit of light non acid oil when it gets dirty and try that , I really like informative videos like yours it helps all of us searching for answers and saving money and time , great video thanks for posting 👍🏼

Yes Cleaning is definitely worth doing . Also I run Jb bore paste to take imperfections out also cause they seem to be using the BUTTON method which is a FAST and cheap way rifle a barrel . However when the cutter begins to lose ability to cut clean it will Gaul the barrel leaving terrible finish. That's why sometimes it shoots like crap in the beginning then after the So-called break in period it will finaly shoot a little better . So to speed this up I run the bore paste several times and polish . It really seemed to work very well for my older Maxim

I have 2 break barrels a Shockwave and a vintage Beeman r1. Both are an exercise in frustration for consistent accuracy. A friend of mine just bought his first ever air rifle a stoeger xm1 pcp bullpup mounted with a cheap pinty scope combo. After a rudimentary sight in we could hold half dollar groups at 100 yds with ease and hit peach cans at 200 yds uphill easily. I'm completely sold on the usability without fuss of a pcp. Charging is a non issue for me in the field because I've never been presented with more than a few ethical kill shots in a day.

I must say brother....you're RIGHT...just yesterday I was firing my AirHawk Elite2, using (7.0 gr. lead pellets), I fired 10 rounds, NO RESULTS!!!...then I cleaned my barrel and oiled it afterwards, and decided to used (10.6 gr. copper pellets)..👍👍👍....boy boy boyyyyy, RIGHT ON ACCURATE!!! On target everytime....SO, I'M THINKING with my AirHawk Elite2 with over 1,200fps.......those 7.0 gr were toooooo light ...but using heavier pellets between 8gr on up...makes my rifle very accurate....so, I have learned that my airhawk elite2 likes the heavier pellets....but she loves the 10gr on up COPPER PELLETS...so, now I have found her sweet spot when firing....OFF TO HUNTING IM GOING!!!!!.....and you're tips are awesome bro!!!!!!...

Yup. I do not either stay away from the brush. Not that long ago since I gave my Sig Virtus a one helluva scrubbing - and it surely didm't make the barrel worse. Surely no target rifle - but the softer brush material ain't gonna ruin the harder barrel. I though do mostly keep just to RWS Hobbys - even though I know them more expensive JSBs to outperform the Hobbys in that rifle at a 25m distance. RWS Hypermaxes though are something I stay away from - since 2ft "groupings" ain't my thing...😂 Them stock screws are also good to check to be tight on those springers.. I often check that on my old Crosman Phantom .177 - which I think is a very good springer for the money. I just love the rifle. Shoots good even though the spring creaks and it twangs lile a sob. But even the og cheap scope still works good on it..😊😊

@LostBeetle

If all of that failed to fix the problem (and you have ruled out a bad scope), it's probably that the lockup wore out and is now inconsistent. If both rear and front sight are mounted on the barrel (like every springer I have ever seen), remove the scope and shoot with open sights, if open sights outperform the scope, you might have an inconsistent lockup. My Hatsan 125's lockup wore out after shooting is many, many times. You cannot tell by feel, it feels like there is no play, but it's the only thing left that it could be. So it's now open sights only with that gun.

Check your action screws too, the two bolts at the front of the stock and usually one in the trigger guard, they don't need to be mega tight just check they are nipped up. gamo recommend 3nm to my knowledge if you have a torque limiter.

I recently found a beat up Gamo Shadow 1250 at a pawn shop. After tear-down I've noticed that the very last inch of the barrel is SMOOTH ?! - is that normal ?? The barrel looks like it needs a crown pretty bad, there are tiny little burrs at what should be the crown. Depending on accuracy I am considering cutting the smooth part. - any experience with cutting a break barrel rifle ?

Do you know if there is a more powerful spring to use in my Gamo PT-85 down the road ? It's fairly new now, but someday I'd like to hot rod it. I have a Crossman C-11, too, and it's a great first gun, but already getting tired of it. That would be a fun one to mod, too since it was so cheap to begin with.

@greg6162
@greg6162 4 года назад
z always use a 1 piece mount on break barrels in my experience (unless using weaver/Picatinny) even if they have a scope stop. You’ll find you get a more secure base for your scope and it’s only $15 for a UTG one piece dovetail mount. Upgrading the scope helps and usually goes hand in hand. But like he said an unbundled Centerpoint like a 3x9-40 AO would be worth the price. If you can, get a UTG (or Hawke) scope for around $109 and you’ll notice a HUGE difference with glass quality and you get the mil-dot reticle with 1st focal plain. That means when you zoom in your POI should stay the same. Perfect for a break barrel. I have 3 and my UTG 3x9-40 AO is holding up so far after probably 600-700 rds. I’m using a 1 piece weaver mount but given it’s the most powerful break barrel in .22 (28FPE) I’m pretty happy. But again back to what he said, always check the screws periodically and make sure they are tight but don’t over tighten. Once you hear the screw squeak don’t go to far past that. If you’re confident that your scope is level then you can use blue loctite and let it set for 24-48/hrs and you should be good. Good luck

I have a gamo socom tactical that was given to me. I put a couple thousand pellets through it and now the spring has broken. I think. It will shoot but way reduced power. Do you have experience with replacing the springs? Should I replace with another spring (I'm imagining will eventually break too)? Or should I convert to a gas ram? The gun was given to me as I said, but I'm still struggling with putting money into it. I'm afraid the lockup might wear out next, or who knows what. Looking for AAA advice or anyone else to chime in with exp to share.

It comes with a nice long needle to inject silicon into the chamber .... and especially designed for Air Toys. I have been using Air toys for over 40 yrs. It is really not that expensive and there is not waste... nor no unknown "vehicle chemicals" that might harm seals. Nice videos.... yes good idea to keep bores clean .. VR
