take my advice do not do your first home tune on that gun buy a b-3 or something for $20.00 just in case anything happens I repeat do not attempt on that gun I just do not want you to make a mistake on a gun like that especially because it is the first time you are attempting a tune

Dave, I'm gonna have to agree with Trek, on this one. Get a B-3, or something else cheap, practice first and have fun.

ok...how about i get a crosman quest?  i really didn't want to get a b-3...

I third the motion! I was able to do my first tune with no MAJOR mishaps because of my many years of auto and engine work. It is so easy to screw something up in these guns and you wouldn't want to mess that gun up as it maybe hard to get parts.

A quest would work, but it will be harder on the back pocket, if anything goes wrong. You could always sell whatever you get, to practice on, after your though.

ok, i think i have to go with a b3...look in the classifieds, lol...so...what is the first thing i do, once i get the gun?

Make sure you got a 6 pack in the fridge! And start READING! Here's a start: http://www.airguninfo.com/repairs.shtml
Look under Beeman on the right side of the page and "Tuning the R7" , it gives you the basics of a springer tune. This has a lot of info too:
