to all you tf97 non believers...

[Rontier]

I guess I'm compareing the 2 guns I have
a home tuned B-3-117, with my steve super tuned TF97-22
The B-3 is not accurate for me?
But it's the AK-47 & very hold sinitive
& picky on pellets only likes C-HUNTERS
tryed the hollow points -no good,
But it may the shooter too at my age not so
hold steady, Like Mike told me the B-3 can't
be held ! must let it reat in your hands.
I'm still working on that!
The TF97-22 will shoot the same no matter
how you hold it ! That is 1 thing I like about
it, & locktight on all screws a must, & not to
tight on the front screws or you could crack-
the stock, the first one came with a hair line
crack in it, But the bear trap did not work on it!
so sent it back cost me $22.00 ship..
& #2 TF97 has a bad breach seal in it!
that blocks off half the port hole? But I don't know allot about AG's so that may not be a problem?

My b-3 was great before it broke, the tool sale is coming in march and im going to get another one for 15 bucks, heck maybe i'll by two..I plan on trying a tune on the new one. The old one has seen better days. I got my moneys worth out of it though. I have shot many starlings and pigeons, with a couple of close range squirrels mixed in. I wish i had the knowledge you guys do, as i took my B-3 apart yesterday and dont even know where to start, i see what's broken, and could replace that, but i just don't have the knowledge to actually tune and lube a gun. I hang out here so much, because i want to learn...I plan on ordering the QB 78 and the tech force 97 at the same time. Can't wait to shoot them, and hopefully get some help tuning them. I can't find a place that describes in detail how to tune a springer, I'm not even sure if i have the tools to accomplish the task. Btw the b-3 i have is 5 years old, and has thousands and thousands of pellets through it.

Hey Jeff,
I think we should all by a tech force 97. Why not? The more guns the better right....? Wish i was loaded, i would by a new disco in .22 with a hand pump....I work alot, but have many other things that have to come first. Someday, i'll have a room full of guns...

I WAS ON A ROLL HERE ,TODAY SHOT IT ABOUT 25=30 TIMES , THAT IS ALLOT FOR ME!

WELL ON THE LAST 5-10 SHOTS ! THE GUN MAKES A LOUD RINGING NOISE!!!
STEEL HIT ON STEEL SOUND?

WHAT NOW!!

Geez Ron are you airgun cursed?  LOL. First the B3 now thje TF97!  I've got probably 1,500 pellets through mine and it just gets smoother. I just shot it again last night so I could post some groups. My TF97 basically cocks itself it is so smooth. Pretty consistent shot speed/low shot to shot deviation. I'm having second thoughts about putting it up for sale. I shot a 5 shought group that looks like a 3 shot string because 2 went through the same hole!

[Rontier]

Cursed! that may be? but finly I got a new tuned tf97 from compasseco & it as a good shooter, even worked
the trigger some, I'm happy with it for a 22 I thank it's about in the 500fps or less but has the knock down power , I can't see any pest taking a hit from it, & walking away.

my wife has 2 cats ,& 1 is a good mouser, brought 1 in Friday .so I don't know where she get's them ?
I've never seen any around my house ? but I live in the green Belt & there are Deer,Rabbets, coyotes,
& a Mtn lion that has taken a few dogs & a lot of cats, the Green Belt runs about 20 miles the north side of austin,& I'm in the city lim's so I can't be seen with a air gun at all?

But back ti the TF97 it is a good gun for what I do cut up cans & paper.

[geewhiz380]

well i just bought one and cant wait to recieve it and shoot it ,this thread helped me for this airrifle...

[Rontier]

yup ,I got hooked by Compasseco that I don't
recommand!
but these Guy's here got me hooked on AG's
& the Bargain Gate shoud come with a lock&key !!
But I have to say what ever steve did to gun#2,
well it shoots better, then any AG I I got right now? & the only 1- I can see the sights,
everything has aScope on it!
& I took her apart very carful not to turn the gun over or the pins will fall out !
I cleaned with break cleaner & put a drop of
E-6000 glue on each pin /so they will stay in
besides the stock holding them in place !.
and now I'm into the 3rd tin of 250 count?
& lov her 15yrds dead on, I'm thinking of adding a Scope some day???
hope you have a keeper

Ron

[geewhiz380]

[mikeiniowa]

I would like to know as it could be done with a different piston design....

[itsnotom]

a rekord could make almost anything better  lol. the triggers are the worst part of the guns.

[geewhiz380]

[Rontier]
