deanothehunter 34 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I decided to take my trigger apart last night and give it all a clean and polish and re oil....................what a nightmare just to save a few bob I have always had the urge to take things apart even watches from no age through to present only now I pay attention to how it comes apart and lay out in order for reassembly only last night I pulled a pin from trigger only to have springs and components fly over the room this was around half 8 ish and I finally reassembled and tried it out at 2am this morning :laugh: it feels much better lighter pull and very well tuned compared o how it was but nearly ended up with me taking the whole lot in bits to local gunshop with tail between my legs :11: Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Carburettor from a YB100! That was difficult, especially when idiot remembered halfway through he did not write down the number of turns for the needle jet!!! Quote Link to post
deanothehunter 34 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 ooops its not just me then, they were the days yb100's lol I think I put an engine from one of those in my fizzy 50 it was a 100cc anyway and looked identical to the 50cc one :laugh: Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Those were the days? Was only about 7 years ago! Yes, the top ends looked the same, the screw that held the baffle in the exhaust was identical to one that held the hinge to a toilet lid on, not saying how I know that!

barrywhite 282 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I feel education costs .Sometimes you take something to bits and it dosen,t work out as expected .You have learned something, next time it will be ezeyer .If you dont try you will always have to rely on shops. Quote Link to post
deanothehunter 34 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I always go slowly and carefully and draw a quick diagram for reassembly but as I pulled out one of the pins it released a spring which had a mind of its own flying over the room and landing amongst a pile of clothes but luckily I heard it and went over to see it straight away but also as the spring flung out one sction of the sears fell out but not knowing which direction it went back made it very difficult but on reassembly I just kept trying spring all ways but it just was'nt right but did get there in th end and can safely say now if I had to do it again I know exactly where everything goes so well it could be done in minutes rather than hours. The gun action itself is one I never worked on but taken many springers apart to change main springs and piston seals etc but the gun itself is very straight forward internally but the trigger is all a bit busy looking when first clap eyes on its components now its all smooth polished very quiet and less grease and excess oils to burn away with use and best of all no spring compression which made a change just push with fingers on rear of cylinder and tap pin out and can almost put pin back by hand other than last bit needs tapping home lightly, and its nicely and consistantly giving around 11.2 ft lb and slightly more with bisley magnums being one of the heaviest pellets to try as usually if they are under everything else will be but the most consistant and accurate in this gun are RWS superdomes and superpoints Quote Link to post
millsy44 72 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I remember stripping the 10 shot mag for the S10, wanted to give it a clean and lube, but holding the face plate back while the coil was under tention was a nightmare!! lol trying to get the screw in while putting pressure onto the coil by holding the face plate tight as feck, Frustrating to say the least, especially when i finally did get it back together only to realize i hadnt wound the spring on far enough and it was only indexing 6 holes................................start again!! haha Atb peter Quote Link to post

deanothehunter 34 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 hi buddy good to here you got it sorted! what air rifle was it? Davy Hi it is a stoeger x 20 very similar weight and performance to an hw95 weihrauch and the trigger unit comes out in one seperate from the action the same as the weihrauch's but is much more complicated than hw80 / hw95 rekord triggers which I love but it does have a similar auto safety like the hw's too Quote Link to post

Wine's no good through dialysis, the ABV's far too low. For a healthy Nan, you need to be looking at Vodka or some kind of Pochine. Stearile kit and quality booze. Quote Link to post
