Anyone had anything to do with the above, I am thinking od ordering some lubricants from them (James Maccari heavy spring tar etc). http://www.airguns.citymax.com/page/page/251327.htm Al Last edited by Alstone on Sat Mar 29, 2008 5:12 am; edited 1 time in total _________________   Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2008 4:26 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 I have moly paste, heavy, clear, and velocity tar as well as several versions of breech / piston seals along with quite a few spare springs / kits for the accumulation here. ARH is always straight up and has great products with exceptional service. Springers are what ARH is about and the knowledge / experiance JM has is certainly going to be missed when he does decide to close up shop.   Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2008 5:14 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Hi J It's the heavy, and clear tar, plus moly paste I'm after, they do a packege deal for $22.00 + shipping, so I will get an order sorted out this week. Cheers.

I recall a website featuring some crosman parts, and a special sear for 22XX. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2008 6:28 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND I've had a good look around the internet for the UK Anton, and I can't find anywhere over here that sells James Maccari tar, every one I talk to tells me to get it from the States. You can get spring tars over here no problem but nobody seems to stock Maccari lubes, anyway it's only $12.00 shipping and if I get a large pack I can sell some of it and recover part of the cost, I need it for my B4 to get rid of the twang, mind you I think I'm wasting my money on it.

One word of caution, however, I gather Mr. Maccari has a low tolerance level for repetitive questions- so keep any conversations with him short and sweet.

Al Aha, I see, yes, in that case it's better to do it that way. Say, did you also make a spring-guide and top hat for the B4? That should help to decrease twang too. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2008 5:42 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND No I haven't done anything Anton apart from a polish, trigger job and lube, but now the weather as picked up a bit I can get out to my workshop and get a few things done.

No problem Eric, I have just ordered a lube pack and TX seal using the sites internet ordering facility, so we will sit back and see how long it takes to get to me.

Hi Anton, just thinking about it, there is a couple of sites selling custom Crosman parts in the UK but no tar. http://www.sdcustomdesign.com/index.htm http://www.trobb.f9.co.uk/Crosman%20Parts%20P1.html Al _________________ UPDATE   Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 5:11 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND My lube kit and seals arrived from the States today 13 days from ordering, pretty good service from Jim Maccari. I'll do a lube job with the contents and report later on the results. Al _________________ Ahhh yes JM!   Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 7:38 pm WNCAGC Member Joined: 19 Mar 2008 Posts: 38 Location: western, NC I have his product and it is quality. I did a tune kit from him in my RWS 34 and it did wonders for dampening the recoil and smoothing out the action. He is great to deal with. _________________ Teachers use to tell me not to worry since they grade on a curve. I had to keep reminding them I am dumb on a straight line!
