Who makes the best "power adjuster"?
« on: October 22, 2009, 07:36:02 AM »
I have been looking around and have only found 2 places to get one. Mike from TKO22 makes one, but no pictures are available. Airguns of  Arizona makes one, and its $30 :^/
Where can I find a good adjuster? If you have any knowledge of the TKO22 adjuster a picture or a more in depth description, it would be appreciated. I am not sure about Mikes adjuster because it mentions that it does not protrude out of the end cap, and I don't see how that can be. And if all else fails, are there any helpful things on the internet regarding the required materials to build one? Thanks.

I made my power adjuster from my original degassing tool. I ordered it from D&L airguns in vancouver (Canada) but you can get it from Crosman, Airguns of Arizona, ect,. I simply cut off the smooth shaft portion of the tool, being very careful not to touch the threads. I had to use a grinder as the shaft is tempered steel. For the spring portion you simply need to find a suitable material that will fit into the spring and act as a backing plate for the adjuster shaft to but up against. I first used a screw that I cut off at about 1/4". It should be smooth as to not hinder the spring travel which will effect travel velocity. The screw also acts as a spring guide as well. I chose to use the degassing tool because I thought that it looked better, it looks like a factory piece. But if you don't want to order the degasser, you can get an allen head screw that will fit and will work fine. You can get one of those at any hardware store.
