Don't use engine oil!!!! You need to soak it in a pure silicon oil. It'll diesel like feck otherwise.

bloody hell andy i phoned chambers where i bought the really expensive fcukin washer and specifically asked should i use SILICONE oil and was told definitely no i had to use thin engine oil WTF !!!! so now what should i do mate ?

 

If I said ignore Chambers, who have been doing this for donkeys, sold you the part, and have a bigger selection of air rifle parts than probably anyone in the world, and told you to soak it in dog piss, then who would you believe?

 

i'd definitely leave the dog piss out, but i'd believe andy, as he worked in the gun trade and has a very good reputation on here for tuning rifles, my own and pianomans included.

 

...and Chambers know nothing about air rifles????

 

....and yeh, I think the dog piss could honk a bit under pressure!

 

Mineral engine oil will cause dieseling in a springer. Silicon won't. It has a much higher flash point. Who knows who Fry spoke to at Chambers? It must have been the tea boy who gave that little jem of miss information to him, it's just wrong, simple as.

he was scottish lol i dried the washer out as much as poss it had become as supple as a young gymnast it only dieseled for a bit an is settling down nicely now. thanks every one for your knowledge. because i know feck all.

Is that a JSR 6-24x50 on that?

 

If you are getting that sort of accuracy and repeatability then rifle, pellet, scope and shooter are working fine!

its one of them cheap chinky scopes i bought with a rifle a few years back dont know the name but its only for a kid an i am giving it him free as for my shooting it is at close range mate trust me i aint exactly a great shot! im a tryer though lol.

Yeah, possibly a hint for 5 minutes, chill out, what do you think we have been using for over 100 years to soften and seal?

 

Nobody is talking about pouring a gallon or two into the piston, and obviously times change and new products are developed, sometimes improving things, but I don't rate silicon for this job, neither does it seem do Chambers!

 

Hey ho, that's what forums are about!

well i did him a blackthorn catty a few years back an he has treasured it lol! he will be over the moon with this, i am giving him a 3 spinner target and gun slip as well. his old man is a good mate who hoards shit when mink coats became socially unacceptable he bought as many as he could and stashed em in his loft i bought one of him a year back for 30 quid for another mates missis who loves them it must of cost a mint new weighed a tonne. did your haenel have a heavy trigger this one has and i cant see no way of sorting it as it is just a lever an hook

[andyfr1968 772]

Nice to see one of those Haenals again, I had one about 40 years ago and thought it was great at the time. Accuracy wasn't too bad but the only scope I had was a cheap 4x20. When I moved up to a 4x40 I thought I was in heaven!

We didn't use engine oil, silicone oil or dogs piss in those days, all leather washers were treated with something called "neatsfoot oil" but you could use warmed "dubbin" which I always thought lasted longer.

I hope the lad enjoys the Haenal and looks after it.

Tim.

hi all been reading up on these old rifles the barrel is 5.6 (old imperial size) so deker was right about ely wasps as they seem the only folks that make a 5.6 pellet! the thing is with an aa field just dropped in there it puts out poxy 6.5 to 8 but if you squash the skirt out so its a tight fit it it goes over 12 into illegal land? how do you odds this is it legal or illegal i have some wasps and rws fields on order i suppose i will have to wait until they show and see what the crack is then. heres 2 dropped in loose

an heres one with the skirt spread

I always have a tendency of over simplying things, but that said....... I've been watching 'American Gun' on TV and they are always making trigger's lighter, you just file down the hook that catches on the other bit so there sin't so much for you to pull.....

 

It's probably on some sort of catchup TV or youtube, worth watching especially for Paige.....
