Ok..thanks have seen B11 talked about before ...but a diff gun
to I have....Snowpeak ones   Heaps of power but real JUNK

The Bam rifles have a real nice fit and finish, just need a better trigger to go world class, the B-11 stock is OK, the D-18 and 17 stock is a factory option you can get if you special order and is really nice....

Mike,

What spring are you referring to in the above post? I'm looking to get the D-18 shooting in the 700/750 fps range(8 fpe). The steps I guess I need to take is first to get the blow by fit with new seal and then work on the spring and guide. Just wondering if a HW-30 factory spring would fit? I like the little rifle, it's a joy to carry and shoot.

Thanks!

what I have for the spring is this, 33 coils, ID.500, wire size .115, length approx 9 inches, the spring can be spaced up quite abit (1/2 inch?), I'll space up a stock spring and see what happens....spaced a stock spring up .270 thats about all it would take, with a new seal it only did a bout 550-560 and it was smoking quite a bit. I don't think you will get it to 700, stroke etc is just not there.....haven't ried everything possible but.....almost forgot, Canadian model, has to be under 500, better spring will bring it up to 700 possibly, wonder what the spring is in the B-11.......

Mike,

I'm going to start a new thread on the D-18. This weekend I will go to storage and dig the chrony out. I'll take the B-2 spring out and put all the stock stuff in her and start over.

Thanks!

Graham,

Same rifle that me and Mike are talking. Do you have any numbers for FPS on yours or spring spec.?

Thanks!
