2 more things for Rontier
« on: September 24, 2009, 08:45:58 AM »
I couldn't edit my post below so I had to do this one.

Ii also added a flat washer under the nut that is up inside the handle of my QB57.  I helps spread any stress a little better.  This area is a known problem spot for these rifles.  I had to file 2 sides of the washer to make it fit.
Secondly, don't forget that the buttpad is adjustable.

Shoot Did I order from the Wrong store??
(Compresco?)
but they just sent me a 10% off on the Rifles!

looking at Archer in a min". have to get the 22.cal from them.
My Brother just gave me 2 tins ! 1 is 117 Benj-Sheridan 7.9gr
Dome,made in the USA? tins are a little rusty But the Pellets
look good , just dart color. from over the years .:)
the other are 22.cal copperhead Hyper velocity. Both are from the 1980's..:)

You may have come out ahead on price by buying from Compasseco and the discount.
Aside from price it's the same rifle.  Now you can get a .22 barrel assembly from Archer.
I also forgot to recommend to you to polish the bore with JB Bore polish, 20 strokes each direction.  Do this after you clean the oil out of it.
It will put a smooth finish inside without scratching.

Hey everyone ,
I got my guns in from Compasseco.com -They said they clean them??
I'm not so solded on that so far, But I've just took them out of the packing very oily plastic bags!

The pistol looks rusty in some places But for $35 bucks !what was I thinking most soft air guns cost more! very well Rough cocking & sticks in half way down the pull ,like hitting some rust?
Now the fun part will start= with taking it all apart sand out the rust... I think this one got in the salt air/  
 :o  :o any tf35's out there, I was going to get a red Dot on it but I am not so sure on that so.
some said a spring compressor in not needed for the TF35 or the TF67??
