to all you tf97 non believers...

My tf97/qb36-1 has worked flawlessly and has over 2000 shots through it. Never had a lock up. did you try opening, cleaning, relubing and reassembling it nice and tight???

Have 2 plead the 5th on that (warranty)


for how..

[joek]

on the new TF 97?. It was the first item to break on my old 97 .22 followed by the stock at the front mounting screws. just checking if either has been updated in the new model.  I have a old TF 36 .177 (qb36) it's the fuglyist gun I own but also the best shooting one. did a full boat tune. buttoned piston, pellet probe. action pillar,trigger etc... outshoots some of my guns costing 20X more. fwiw Joe

i got an old one, but i removed the sight as i use a little scope...

Hi JoeK:

The newer Tech Force Model 97's have an aluminum front sight base.  Some are mounted crooked and you may run out to windage adjustment in the rear sight.  You will need to remove the slotted retaining nut(s ) and threaded shaft and and drive out the roll pin.  Reversing the pin - inserting it from the other side usually corrects this.  I think the pin is chamfered on one end so it is easier to start.  You may have to use a rat tail file to re-angle the groove in the barrel if reversing the pin doesn't cure the problem.  Don't go too far and make the groove too big or it will allow the sight to shift.

I have far too much time on my hands.

Cheers,
Fatman

I KNOW IT'S JUST ONE MORE PICTURE, BUT DID I TALE YOU IT HAS PURDY WOOD!! ...

Good looking gun, Im going to buy one of those soon.  My b-3 broke today. I could fix it, but im going to retire it. It was only 15 dollars after all. Im getting the TF97 in .22 to replace it.

[lillysdad621]

dont retire it... modify it!. the b3 makes a very good rifle with a bit of love. the tf97 does not respond as well to tuning, but it is inherently a better rifle.

[longislandhunter]

You guys are killing me.......   With all this talk about the 97 now I want one.....   I keep finding myself on the Compasseco site looking at them
