assistant: The list rules and posting guidelines are auto-posted regularly, but we
had a software problem that prevented that happening for a couple weeks.
As I have stated many times before, it's not possible to separate RKBA
issues from airgunning pleasures, lest we be separated from our airguns.
Still, the list's PRIMARY focus is as stated in the rules, shooting
owning, collecting airguns and shall continue to be.  the latest thread
evolved after I cross posted a message of interest and importance to ALL
gun owners to this list, and DTF took issue with it.  I shall continue
to post messages of such importance once in a great while, as far too
many airgunners don't get involved in such issues and aren't aware of
them.
        As always, no thread on this list need exclude other threads.
the traffic isn't heavy, and there's room for many simultaneous threads.
Anyone who is not interested in a particular thread need not participate
in it, yet may still discuss other things.  As to the rare RKBA
postings, perhaps in the future I should post them as "info-only" and
not allow any discussion, but to me that appears like censorship and I
didn't want to go that route.  I've yet to understand why someone can't
ignore or delete a message or thread they are not interested in, rather
than want to deny it to others.

Jim,
Don't go the censorship route!  Thats whats whats wrong with other
"moderated discussion groups", once it starts, it can get so bad that
only stuff the moderator's changing whims  approve are  valid topics!
I feel the folks that most object are oftyen those "lurkers" who rarely
participate
by contributing, but rather, "participate" by attempting to guide
discussions back to what they
like to feed on.

Larry,
    Yes, the steel ring was there. The delrin? part of the seat seemed much
shallower than the old seat and the id seemed to be larger. I don't have any
neat toys like say an inside micrometer but I'll test it cave man style with
the non business end of drill bits to see if it's just an illusion.

Bob,
Did the seat still have the steel re-inforcement sleeve in it?  ld

There are lots of answers here, but mine is to go CO2. Naturally recoilless
and with a bulk load adapter and extended tube of the QB22 or QB77 from MAC-1
are great for almost any type of shooting. Specify how much power you want
nd
Tim will tune it in for your needs. Have a custom lefthand stock made for the
160 style action and fit in other QB actions for different uses. QB77 detuned
for practice work and a hot QB22 for pest work and maybe a hot QB77 for
silhouette. This way you only pay for the one custom stock and swap out the
actions as your needs change. I had mine fitted with Lothar Walthar barrels
and they are simply some of the best guns available today at any price. Add
that they are hand crafted by the top master airgunsmith in America today.
Hard to beat.

Good questions Dave,hopefully there will get an answer. I was beginning

Write your reply.

assistant: Newsgroups: AIRGUN.LIST
Hi Folks:
      I know that if a airarm could shoot a heavier pell (ie. .177 10.5
gr Cros Prem Heavies) at 800 fps and also shoot a lighter pellet (ie.
.177 7.9 gr Cros Prem Lites) also at that same 800fps, then the Heavier
pellet would have less wind drift.
     However, what I'm still not clear on is if a given airarm shoots
the above Heavy at 800 fps (est 14.9 ft/lbs) and the above Lite at 970
fps (est 16.5 ft/lbs), then which pellet would have less wind drift.
I have not done field testing of this thought, but my gut instinct would
suggest that the faster, lighter pellet would in this particular case,
drift less, if for no other reason than that in the R1 (my airarm), the
Lite pellet starts out with about 1.6 ft/lbs more energy than the Heavy,
and the B.C.'s of both pells are fairly close (.025 for Lites and .029
for Heavies according to the FSI Ballistics Tables).
