I needed to take a couple of pictures of a valve assembly today for a Crosman 1077. So, I put the screwdrivers on the table, a set of calipers to measure a couple parts- and disassemble it to remove the valve.
No kidding, I had it apart, valve and tube out, measurements done, pictures taken and gun reassembled in under 10 minutes. If I wasn't taking the pictures it would have been more like 3 minutes end-to-end. I had to stop and think about it afterwards to be sure I hadn't forgotten something somewhere (I didn't) because it just seemed too fast- perhaps because I wasn't really thinking about it- just doing it.
Anyone else find they can disassemble and reassemble some guns in their sleep? Not like I've practiced this sort of thing and I think I've only had the 1077 apart maybe 10 times in total. Just found it a bit odd. |

I've had my QB78 now for a week and have had it apart at least 6 times, the last time I stripped it down I actually looked at the clock when I did it, I stripped it right down including the valve but not the trigger and it took four and a half minutes.
Mind you it took a bit longer to put it back again.

I think I made myself a trap.
Now that I can apparently do the breakdown and reassembly of the receiver housing in less than 5 minutes to get the guts in/out (excluding the Co² chamber/tube) I've had it apart 4 or 5 times today alone to experiment with some valve alterations. Found out something interesting about a plate in the valve head that I thought would be detrimental to gas flow- turns out it actually helped gas flow to the pellet. Only have a couple other things to try with the valve, but they involve more work and will undoubtedly need alot of trial and error testing- so I think I will stop for awhile to actually spend some time shooting, not modifying.
Apparently I sometimes forget the guns are for shooting, not fiddling with the internals. |
