When i shoot beeman silver stings, i hear whats best descibed as a heavy tiiing. its not loud. but it only does it with those particular pellets.
I've shot other types around the same weight.
i use a seating tool(homade), and it apears to be getting a good seal in the chamber. the head fits a little loose. but i have another type with a similar fit. it only does it with the stings. the accurracy is pretty good with 'em. they seem to hit pretty hard.
should I be worried??? Neutral

my gamo also makes (i think) the noise you describe with 8.2 grain rws field points. only that one pellet. i'm guessing it is how the barrel grooves are gripping the skirt?? i wouldn't think it's any worry.

Sniper, speaking of sounds...
The "cold dead fingers" was a Charlton Heston declaration not John Wayne's.
The statement was first "aired" by Heston publicly at the NRA national convention.

so i went and shot those pellets anyway. the ting seems to have lessened a bit. Evil Plot

i have a chewed up retireving dummy hanging. i've hit it at 50 yds pretty consistanly. ithink im getting hits from a rest at about 85 yds. The targets a little heavy so i cant see if its swinging when i hit it. im gonna get my neighbor to watch from a side angle to confirm hits. Giant Grin

i guess that ting, was the sound of speed. Clap Clap

what gun are you shooting???

TONBON · Veteran Member

A beeman rs-2 sportrman. wally world special.
i have the 22 barrel locktighted in. i have the trigger stoned and adjusted properly. itried to hit my far target again today. i swear i got at least 2 or 3 out of 10 or 15. it was real windy. and i have to thread the shot betweeb 2 big trees. next calm day i'm gonna git it. i need to hold over about 4-5 inches, where the cross hairs get thick right below target. i hit 2x with the stingers and 1x with the polymags. im gonna get my neighbor over with his laser range finder to check the distance. i'm guessin about 80yds.

wally world special??

i'm curious about the chinese beeman's.

TONBON · Veteran Member

i bought it before i knew better. i've redone the trigger. totally smoothed and adjusted like i like it. could smooth it a bit more, but it's light.(the first thing i do with a new gun is a trigger job). Naughty

i commited to the 22 barrel with locktight. bought a decent scope.
i find me and it prefer a 16-17gr. pellet, (so far).
if i knew, i probably would have spent the money elswhere. but i don't feel bad about makin a mistake when i modify it. Evil Plot

i have a habit of customizing everything i own. i've heard the comment,"you can't leave nuthin' alone", more than once. Faq-U

i've done similar work on my P17. Thumb Up! v2

don't feel bad. i have more $ into my 440 than my $150 bam. i love that bam. never shoot the 440 since the bam.

i like .22 over .177. not as fast but a lot more punch Exclamation

I can quit anytime I want to. Yeah I really can. I don't have to customize my guns. I could quit today if I wanted to. Yeah that's right.

Sure you can... you're a junkie like the rest of us.
