powerline
« on: October 29, 2008, 05:26:55 AM »
what do you guys use for seals in the daisy powerlines?  both the breach seal and the piston seal seem to be of a rubber that won't hold up long...

any tuners out there, (i'm eventually getting this thing tuned by a proffesional)  how good do you get these things?  i've heard that they can be fairly smooth, and REALLY accurate for a $100 gun.

I recently shot all my guns to group them at 60 yards. Granted, I ain't the greatest shooter - but in my hands my Powerline beat everything else I had - whether .22 or .177. This includes an RWS Panther, a Shadow, a CFX, and an RWS48. Granted, the ones that grouped the best were all pretty close - well within my margin of error. But it shows that the gun can do far better than its price would indicate.

I substituted an O-ring for the breech seal, I believe it was a #108 or #109. I don't remember if I had to shim it. Never had to look for a piston seal.

As for the rest, I tarred the spring on this one - which made a BIG improvement in firing behavior. I also ever-so-lightly smoothed over the interface surfaces between the sear and the intermediate lever and applied a little moly paste - and the trigger now breaks at less than 2 pounds (which helps with the accuracy, I'm sure).

do you think that the piston mod that you offer will work on this gun?

hmmm...do you think the powerlines would benefit from any hinge work?  i'm trying to decide on which tune to get from ya!  what do you think?...fix tune work?...or should i go intermediate tune, and add piston mod to it(along with some other parts...hehe)

The tar made a heck of an improvement, but I suspect that a lot of the remaining noise is caused by the hollow stock. If I can get it filled with something, I suspect the gun will be a relative pleasure to shoot. Considering how unpleasant it was when I started, anyway...
