How the heck do you remove the old plug? I removed the stock and the bottom screw, and it wont budge. ________ Honda Phantom Last edited by RatcatcherDino on Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:20 am; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Sat Aug 22, 2009 10:39 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Remove the screw that holds the sight to the breech (coming down from the top, in the same hole as the one you removed underneath). _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2009 4:03 am Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 And after that first install the power adjuster's body, afterwards insert the spring and the adjustment screw. This to prevent preload hence easier installation of the body.

I was hoping I didn't have to remove the breech screw because that meant removing the scope which meant having to sight it in again. No worries ... Got the power adjuster installed and sighted in the scope again. Works great, but I have a question ... Without having a chrony, how do you guys get the most out of your power adjusters? I'm thinking maybe just back off a hair when I notice it getting loud (thus wasting gas).

Shoot at them end-on and measure the penetration to gauge relative power levels. It won't give you numbers, but might help compare different settings. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2009 3:35 pm Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 Another mossy oak 2400 Sweeeeeet Are you going to attach a bipod? _________________ Crosman [1300 1322 1377 1377c 1389 2289G Mark II SSP250 2300KT 2400KT ] Sheridan [HB20] Haenel [III 284] SMK [XS78 Deluxish] My vids on Youtube   Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2009 6:09 pm RatcatcherDino Member Joined: 14 Jul 2009 Posts: 76 Brutuz wrote: Another mossy oak 2400 Sweeeeeet Are you going to attach a bipod? Thanks Brutuz. I bought the barrel band so I could attach a bipod, but I'm thinking it might be a bit bulky for the gun. Don't you have the Air Force bipod on yours? What do you think of it? Is it bulky? Stable? ________ GROW MEDICAL MARIJUANA Last edited by RatcatcherDino on Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:20 am; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2009 11:39 am Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 Yes I do, I think it's just perfect _________________ Crosman [1300 1322 1377 1377c 1389 2289G Mark II SSP250 2300KT 2400KT ] Sheridan [HB20] Haenel [III 284] SMK [XS78 Deluxish] My vids on Youtube   Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2009 3:35 pm RatcatcherDino Member Joined: 14 Jul 2009 Posts: 76 Brutuz wrote: Yes I do, I think it's just perfect THAT'S NICE! How does it fit? Any wobble or anything? Did you need any sort of adaptor to go with the GMAC barrel band? ________ EXTREME Q VAPORIZER Last edited by RatcatcherDino on Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:20 am; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2009 6:19 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Stuff like that's just fawk yeah. Anyone with a Crosman is cool. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2009 12:56 am Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 I've got the dovetailed barrelband, the bipod fits perfectly. Did have some woble first as the barrelband's tubehole dia is to factory specs, applied one layer of ductape aroud the tube and gently tapped the barrelband in position resulting in a woble free fix. Didn't like the poweradjuster's knob sticking out in firmest position so asked for and received a custom one. At max power: As you can see it's got a wide blade trigger too: Not listed on http://www.gmaccustomparts.com/ yet, another custom job _________________ Crosman [1300 1322 1377 1377c 1389 2289G Mark II SSP250 2300KT 2400KT ] Sheridan [HB20] Haenel [III 284] SMK [XS78 Deluxish] My vids on Youtube Installing a Power Adjuster     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Airgun Smithing You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
