Howdy ,

I am new to this sport, and Ive been reading alot of good stuff on here.
So I want to pick your brains a bit.

Question ; Beeman RS 2 (.177 bbl), I took an eye loupe and checked the crown , it is pretty rough looking.
The front sight , seems like a plastic sleeve that has been pressed on.
I was wondering, does it have a "keyway" type slot that will align it , if I take it off, and decide to put it back on.
I would like to try the recrowning method in the sticky.

Question ; 3 years ago, I bought a pellet rifle , off of a truck sale Rolling Eyes

The first one was sort of beat up when I pulled it out of the box, so I went back, and they dug through quite a few, and found me one that was in good shape.
I shot it a few times, but , didnt have much faith in it, after seeing all the dinged up ones they had.
So, it has been sitting in the dusty garage, all this time.
Last week, i came across a few posts, and some good pages of info on it.
Its a B3-1. And I see that quite a few people really like them.
So I dug it out, and wiped it clean, and it shines like new.

I had thrown away the pellets that I had bought with it, as they were mixed sizes, and bent .
So , yesterday, I tried to shoot some H&N Domed field target pellets through it.
But they wont fit. They are too big, by a hair.
Any recommendations ? as too pellet brand and style?

And , if I ever decided to scope it, I would need to mount a scope stop,?
Or not?

Thanks in advance for taking time to read such a long winded post.

Smile

Good info Slavia ,
Thanks

I dont think i'll be doing anything too soon , with either one.
But , with winter coming on, I like to have ideas for shop projects.

I actually kind of like the fact that the B3 isnt too powerful. As the boys Explorer is rated at 400+ fps, and we are cleaning out the shop , to have an indoor 10 meter range for the winter.
The B3 might come in handy for that.

Thanks again ,
Dusty
