You know, Tim, I'll bet if you started producing "LD" versions of
the Tau 7 maybe with non-swelling seals (and decent support and a
reliable supply of parts and all) it would have a serious impact
on the acceptance of the gun.  I've seen many messages from very
happy users on the 'net, but the "on your own if you buy this" aspect
of the gun has been a strong disincentive.

1) Moderation is not censorship.
2) His plans notwithstanding, Jim recently had to step in and
act as "moderator", to get the last round of "RKBA/dtf" action
under control.  Without that ability to cool things out as required,
lists can get totally out of control and degenerate into flame
wars, vicious name-calling, and huge numbers of messages asking
that the nonsense stop.
3) A "moderated list" is a royal pain, in that every single submission
needs to be sent to the moderator who will approve or reject each
message individually.  A pain for posters, and a lot of work for the
moderator.

As A TAU-7 user /owner I like the way in handles, shoots and the trigger.
The only major pain and it's not that bad if your careful is the latching
mechanism. If after you load a pellet you don't make sure the latch is
closed properly, the loading block will popopen and throw the "o" ring
out,never to be found again , by the way. At least in my dank and dark
basement.  I've shot two semi decent 10 meter pistols. And frankly I'm not
sure I don't enjoy shooting the TAU at least as much as my FWB-65. I know
that's heresy, but I can't help it.

Ahh Some calculations based on ballistics instead of pure conjecture.
Thanks Bruce for taking the time to do this.  I'm sure you can twist the
numbers around, but my experience shows that properly made charts can be
duplicated very closely with measured data. The problem with trying to
observe drift data is that it's very diffcult to find a pure 10 mph ninety
degree cross wind to confirm these findings.

Trigger adjustment for MKI & II
Screw in sear forward of the trigger blade is turned clockwise for
sweeter trigger. To set trigger cock gun to the high power setting with
open bolt. Turn sear adjust screw until the hammer clicks off high
power. back screw out 1/8th turn. If the gun won't go to the high power
setting in the first place back off the screw adjust until it does. Then
start adjust procedure above.
Power adjustment for MKI & II (only early models have the power
adjustment)
The screw on the front of the housing below the barrel is the adjustment
for power. Clockwise turns power up. If an alternate spring or hammer
spacer has been employed you must be certain that the gun will still
cock to high power when turning up the power. If you turn in too much it
could fail to catch the high power setting. The tension of this spring
affects the high and low power performances. If someone has altered the
trigger return spring or the sear engagement spring it could result in
the gun only cocking to one power setting or the other. Not enough
trigger return spring and you lose low power mode. Not enough sear
engagement spring and the gun won't cock to high power. This trigger can
be set for about 1 lb. without any modification at all. Simply by
adjusting and lubing. It is simple but one of the finest triggers ever
produced on a budget airpistol.

Silho is a game of known distances shot offhand. The bigger the ammo the
better. Drop doesn't matter cause the distances don't change. So the hot
tip is big pellets that buck the wind. Domes are the hot tip at

actually, I've penetrated steel BBs through a sheet metal at 755 fps, but
ith
lead pellets (same speed) there's only a dent. I've also tried shooting heavy
metal (like locks), and lead seems to expand much too quickly and small
ieces
of lead shrapnel flies everywhere. I've fired steel darts with my airgun, and
it has pretty good penetration. I thought maybe steel pellets would give more
penetration to more harder objects such as metals. What do you guys think? I
know they're heavy, but how else are they inaccurate???

<< Dean,
 I never recommend any more than 2.75 Oz in a full length extension. You
 are going too far with the charging. it has room for about 6 cartridges.
 So by rule of thumb you don't want to go beyond 72 oz. Don't push it. I
 put 2.9oz in it to test it and told you 2.75oz max. Then you tell
 everyone that it holds 3.2oz. You need to set a proper example. Don't
 overfill it. 2,75OZ is the recommended max. That's 78 grams. >>
I rather suspect that the typically lower temps up here in Portland accounts
for the higher fill weight. I never do anything silly like freezing the gun
r
taking any radical steps to achieve higher fills. What I do is, first
determine the gun is not loaded with a pellet, and then let some CO2 out of
the tank first to cool the fill tube, then screw the fill tube onto the (room
temp) gun. Open valve and then fire the gun about 10 to 15 times. Since it
isn't possible to weigh the gun during this process I have no control over
ow
much CO2 is actually transferred to the gun. Only by weighing afterwards is
the resultant weight known. In anycase, you are correct that a gun with a
maximum charge should be immediately discharged enough times to bring the
pressure level down.

If there are such laws, they would most likely be on
the local level, so your best bet would be to consult
the local cops. As for specific incidents, I heard of
some college students being arrested for discharging
an airgun inside their apartment after the pizza
delivery person turned them in, my brother was arrested
for discharging a bow in his backyard within the city
limits of Eaton Rapids, MI, and I heard that an airgun
dealer had an airgun confiscated after shooting outside
