Now, if there were only a way to put one in the Daisy 120 {Gamo cadet} . . . Real accurate, but a nicer trigger could make it better . . .

I believe this unit: http://www.airguns.citymax.com/catalog/item/251488/5414946.htm is the spring used for the CFX, but you should check with Maccari first to be sure. Personally, I'm not a fan of his website- labeling of parts is generally poor and difficult to tell what parts will work with which rifles. The site in that link is Jim Maccari- so you can try emailing them for more information: http://www.airguns.citymax.com/page/page/251330.htm _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Seals are the small Apex or Tesla seal. Breach O ring is 20mm X 1.5mm "If you are in there you may aswell replace it aswell" A BSA Comet spring will also fit _________________ Career Infinity PCP .22 Webley Patriot .25 Hatsan mod 75 .22 Hatsan mod 99 .177 (Quattro & SAS) Kral underlever .177 ............................................. .   Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 2:11 am Lambdamaster New Member Joined: 20 Jul 2008 Posts: 5 so that is the spring to go with huh? any recommendations for other parts? seals? o rings? ________ BUY HERBALAIRE VAPORIZER Last edited by Lambdamaster on Fri Feb 11, 2011 9:08 am; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 2:33 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 I have to agree with Eric about the use of needle/roller bearings for thrust bearings in a spring piston airgun. They cannot handle the percussion and harsh vibration for very many cycles, even if tempered materials are used. Many tuners have tried and abandoned them in the past as when they finally fail, they usually do quite a bit of damage to the surrounding internals. Yup! I agree!   Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 6:56 pm cliffspot Veteran Member Joined: 15 Jun 2007 Posts: 132 Location: Miami via Hawaii Stick with hardened, polished washers as thrust bearings. If you polish the spring ends and all the surfaces that they contact like the tophat and guide (if metal) and the surface the guide sits on. I find that a washer in the piston is very helpful...the inside of the piston that the spring/guide sits on is usually rough and impossible to polish. _________________ There are no accidents; only ignorance, mechanical failure, and acts of God!

Love the CFX   Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2008 10:40 pm jmart55 New Member Joined: 04 Nov 2008 Posts: 3 Location: Antigua West Indies I own a CFX .177 and I dont see myself parting with it any time soon, it is a great gun ,very accurate and dependable. My gun is from the box and is still performing so well ,if it was tuned and trigger changed I guss I would not go to sleep I have had the Hunter 440 and now also a Whisper and a Diana RWS 48 is somewhere in the post comming to me . But I love the CFX great gun I think it is the GAMO best . Quest / CFX   Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2008 4:23 am Amigo Veteran Member Joined: 18 Sep 2008 Posts: 263 Location: U.S. MidWest Quote: I personally don't own one- but seeing as how the CFX was copied by the Chinese and the copies came out pretty well (B18s, B19s), then Crosman bought the rights to the platform from the Chinese for the North American market (sold, slightly modified, as the Quest, Phantom, TAC-1, G1 and Remington Summit models)- maybe no one sees the need to purchase an "original" these days?!? Please be aware that the CFX is cocked via an underlever system, while the B-18, B-19 and Crosman Quest, Phantom, TAC-1, G1 and Remington Summit are all cocked via a break-barrel system. Also, I believe the B18 & B19 models were in production before Gamo began building the CFX. I have yet to find any directly interchangeable parts between the Gamo CFX and Crosman rifles except trigger groups which are similar enough such that they both will accept the GRT III replacement trigger. Eric have you confused the CFX with an R-1?
