Agreed 100%, next year I will be using my CP2 alone for a season of 25m bench rest

Hi, you are correct, practice is key, I probably need to invest in a semi auto

True that, there wasn't too much wind on this day

There might be after the sprouts that's Christmas😂

I had a red dot on but it failed and when I shoot comp it is open sights so will persevere with the open sights

​@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Well that makes sense. I'm getting to the point where I will be needing a red dot on my handguns. Of course, I can't shoot iron sights as good as you!😅

@BrettBaker-uk4te I am definitely not great with open sights or handguns in general, got a proper hiding last weekend at the range. But as you say red dots do make it simpler, it easy though if you shooting free hand

Red dot becomes mechanical, open sights are more challenging, which is the whole point. Likewise dispensing with the bipod and getting off the bench to free one-hand held pistol. Don't do it because it is easy, do it because it is difficult.

Sounds good Jeff, I enjoy a challenge. I still struggle with the 1 handed pistol

Hi John, definitely some very interesting points you are bringing out, I can try make some videos to bring out the main points

​@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner thanks Good buddy

If you check some of my newer vids I did some hunting with the CP1

Hi Anton, Thanks so much. You must give the challenge a go, you have 50yrds easy at your range

Hi Paul, that doesn't sound right. The tissue test is a good start but a few other things you can check. Could be that you have a leak at the transfer port, it could be that the co2 piercer is not piercing the capsule nicely. Sometimes the little filter by the capsule piercer gets clogged and doesn't allow enough co2 into the valve. I would suggest you strip everything down and do a once over of all the components. I have a full video series on full strip down and reassemble and what to look for

Hi, I think I know the problem now.last night was the coldest this autumn around 3 or 4 oc centigrade .accuracy was way off and when I compensated pellet wasn’t hitting with anywhere enough force to put down a rat. So after looking at your cold test video,I surmise this to be the problem. I’m hoping that a hw 97 will not be affected so drastically as the little Artemis!? Ty for your work. Paul.

Yip anything under 10°C can be a problem for the co2

Hi Andreas, it is a 3d printed cheek riser which we print here in South Africa. Send me an email and we can discuss, tyrone8511@gmail.com

Thanks so much Nibs, I really enjoyed this challenge

Thanks Klee glad you enjoyed it

Hi Norm, sounds like you did a good job on the CP2. I am glad everything worked out. Yes, please keep me posted with any further work you do.

Hi John, Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the vid

Yip, the good old open sights are always reliable

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Your a better man than me at that distance defo

@paintedpreppers-airguns Thanks, you are too kind

Hi, yeah Thanks the pistol is way more accurate than I am, it is a pretty col challenge

This is a 3d printed silencer and it works great

@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Again where did u purchase it from???

I didn't buy it, I had a friend print it for me

@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner ohh ok how can I get one as well?

@BigDawg76773 send me an email tyrone8511@gmail.com and I can put you in contact with my friend that does my 3d prints

Hi George, yip it is a great part of the hobby, tinkering. Glad you're enjoying the videos, and Thanks for leaving a comment

If windage runs out it is not as easy to correct, what I would suggest is to start by turning both of your scope rings around and see if it is better. If it is still not correct you may need to alternate the scope rings

They have actually just come into South Africa and I really want to get my hands on 1. I think this may even be 1 that I buy ss a keeper for myself

Cool comp and forum

In .177 you can go up to 4mm, in .22 you can go up to 4.5mm

Yip you need the speed with slugs and 20mm groups at 30m is plenty good enough

Yip you are spot on, Thanks for leaving a comment

Thanks KLee, yip worked out nicely, I am very happy 😊

It is a skill I will need to learn still but could come in handy. Next up on this gun is the trigger

Hi Norton, why 300mm? Was that a size you liked or was it to remain under 6FPE

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Any short air weapons (which either have a barrel less than 30cm in length or are less than 60cm in length overall), with a muzzle energy in excess of 6 foot-pounds are prohibited firearms.

@norton750cc in most of the UK and EU yes

Hi Norton, yip you are 100% correct, with a lathe and if I had a lathe, I would follow these steps you have laid out, it would be more accurate and probably better results but it is what it is and most people don't have access to a lathe so trying to show the next best option

Thanks Jay, glad you enjoyed it. I am also working on the trigger mod video and probably the internals as well, even though they are actually really good

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner The rifle looked a lot better with the carbine barrel and shot well too. Looking forward to those vids for sure. Nice one! :D

Sounds like it can work, haven't seen it being done before

@@net-twin-de I use a drill on low power with the barrel being held in a vise.

Hi Johnny, you shouldn't pull my leg too far, you might get the answer you were looking for 😉

Thanks Kobus, turned out pretty good, need to do a lot more pellet testing with this springer but so far good results with cheap pellets

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner did you by any chance chrono before and after the mod? Would have been interesting info to see.

@KolaDiver I haven't chronied after but before was around 515fps

Hi Kobus, right now

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunnergood result 👍🏻

Will also work 100% just a bit more of a mission to clean up

Hi KLee, exactly that is what makes this so cool, I already entered the pistol(I sucked) and the rifle (10m average).

Only if you're allowed to break ornaments and furnishings. A CO2 pistol can shoot clean through ceiling plaster, and take lumps out of wall plaster on a rebound ;)

Hi Steven, sorry not sure what you are asking

You're welcome glad I could help

Eish that is not nice, loctite can be a real bugger, if it is set it is tough to undo. I would say the easiest is going to be to just drill it out, same size drill bit as the grub screw and then tap the hole to the next size. What you could also try is to use a dremel and cut a small slot to accept a flat screw driver but that is going to be pretty pedantic on that size grub screw.

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner This not what I understand to be a grub screw but maybe it is. It’s the one next to the magnet that holds the barrel in place.

Oh ok, sorry I thought you were referring to the grub screw which adjusts the bolt action movement. If you are referring to the counter sink screw that released the breech from the tube then the same 2 options mentioned above will apply it may be easier though to start with option 2, grind in a slot for a small flat head screw driver.

Found my #1 screw extractor which uses 1/8”, about 3mm bit. Will give that a try tomorrow.

Tried to drill out the broken bolt hole first since I would still have a working airgun after install oem handle I replaced. Bad light and poor judgement led to some metal gouging on the receiver. Tried the breech screw next - ended up drilling it out after screw head broke off. Hopefully enough threads left to accept another screw. Was able to remove the barrel and with that the bolt came free. Found out you can show the good side of the bolt/handle and hide your clumsy work! One of my first panic moments was finding a o-ring. Replaced it in the breech with no problem and everything was fine. Always seemed like a tight fit shoving the bolt home but understood it takes several hundred rounds before it breaks in. Also read about fat orings - decided to have a closer look at it and now can’t get it back in! Will watch some more videos to see what the trick is. Got my scope, chronograph (one shot before the bolt broke) and a shooting bench that has had a single use. Do you know what the screw size is for the breech screw. I’ve seen M3x.0.6 but would like to confirm before chasing the threads and installing screw. Thanks for your continuing support!

Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for leaving a comment

Hi Kevin, I did a review on the gen2, I didn't really look at the trigger in detail as it wasn't bad out of the box. I don't mind the front guage too much, Because it is regulated you know how many shots/magazines you will get and then just refill will hardly need to look except to check you not loosing pressure

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner yes the regulator is a good thing for it's consistency but to be honest I'm always checking the guage and I don't like the idea I'm looking straight down the business end lol .

Exactly and they cater for all sorts, spring, co2, pellet, BB, match and single stroke pneumatic pistols. They also have a rifle comp, unscoped 6yrds, scoped 10yards.

Hi Lowkey, I saw it on Norfolk airguns channel. It is pretty cool

Sorry about that, I never had any issues with mine, it was just a lot of fun

Hi Louigi, sorry to hear that man. I can only imagine how dissatisfied you are. I didn't have the same issues, not sure if I was just lucky

Haha, thanks Timmy, yeah not very many gamo fans left

@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner I'm no fan of Gamo. I've had 7 out of 11 brake barrels bad right out of the box ! And they will not even let you buy a Screw for the stock You have to send the gun back to them to get any parts !

@timmy4539 that is just crazy, I think the odds of you getting a decent Chinese rifle are bbetter

@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner So true, I have 4 Chinese B3 under leavers, and they all shoot better and are more dependable than Gamos are !!

Hi Kimberly, yes it was super cool, really enjoyed reviewing it

We'll have to see what the owner decides if he want to keep it standard or not

Very well said and I agree with you, this rifle is made for having fun and it definitely will guzzle the co2 and pellets whilst having fun

Hi Charl, I always leave mine in and have never had any issues. I think the reason for companies saying that is more for liability issues, if you leave a co2 canister in it and a child gets hold of it, it is still "live"

Hi Jerry, good to hear from you. Yes, this version also has the tab to move the barrel back and forth, never really used it though. You can definitely get decent groups at 15m with a scope. Mostly it is a ton of fun

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner yes it is a ton of fun!..👍😊
