Break Barrel Boot Camp 2: what to look for?

[@paulbaker1347]

Hi Chuck, greetings from the UK. I'm in no way an airgun beginner being 56 years young and have shot airguns most my life. I'm really enjoying this series. I find your enthusiasm and knowledge very contagious. After watching any of your vids I just want to shoot my rifle so please keep up the great work. If you are an airgun noob, take a tip, listen to what this man says, he knows his apples.

Hey Chuck, from the previous positive comments on your Weihrauch HW30, I finally received mine. This HW30 is astonishingly accurate using H&N 8.64gr Field Target Trophy pellets, and is an absolute joy to shoot! USMC 0311 1980-1984.

[@springpistonriflefeverlone9611]

@@GalvestonCountyMike Awesome! Glad that you got a really good HW30s!😃 I was also 0331 1989-1993 Charlie Co 1/3 at Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Air station. My last year in the Marine Corps, I got to work as a rifle instructor. It was one of the best times of my entire life.

Great review, a new subscriber here, you are absolutely right when it comes to spring piston air rifles, start out with a budget rifle & work your way up, I started with a Remington Express 10 years ago, which is a Chinese branded rifle, which I still own, been shooting PCP's for the last 6-7 years & recently decided to go back to springer, out go most of my PCP's, in comes a Diana 34-the best Diana springer in my opinion, a Weihrauch HW97-the best under lever air rifle & a Hw80k - the best break barrel springer, bar none. 😁👍

[@springpistonriflefeverlone9611]

@@geetee7154 I highly appreciate your subscription and comments!😃👍 The Diana 34 is a very nice springer!😃

[@steve4697]

Totally agree if you can afford it get a quality springer, weihrauch's seem to be the most available, you'll be investing in enjoyment and an heirloom, picked up a HW35 the other week, no different to the 1 I had 35yrs ago beautiful and a real joy to shoot 👍👍

I collect airguns and regular powder firearms but I actually enjoy airguns more. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm able to enjoy my airguns a lot more than my firearms. Some of my family and a couple of my friends give me a hard time and crack jokes about my airguns sometimes but I don't give a shit. My nieces and nephew is absolutely love me and have a blast when they hang out with me 😂 I think the issue is people have a misconception that airguns are for kids and they're definitely not. I mean they can be, but the airguns that I have are certainly not toys, lol. I collect break barrels too. I particularly like them. I have a bunch of underlievers too, but I prefer break barrels.

[@hhoonthecheap4212]

Great video as always. I have an HW 90. It seems to fill quite the range with adjustable power. Not a spring or gas ram. Compressed air spring. You can run the pressure down to HW 30 FPE and lower. To HW 95 or 80 power levels. The higher the pressure, the more pellet picky it gets. I never considered the Weihrauch line to be budget friendly. I think for beginners the Gamo line is a better entry level drug. Once you break the 150, 200 dollar mark with Gamo. You are on your way to a high dollar fix. The most accurate airgun I have. The Sig Sauer ASP 20 in .177. I would have liked to have one in .22. It's a shame Sig stopped production. At half the money, it out shoots any of my German rifles. If I had to part with all but one. The Sig would be the keeper.

Chuck, at some point you are going to cost me about $450 ;) still haven't "pulled the trigger" but keep circling back to the HW50...seems to me like a Goldie Lock's size rifle..will be primarily plinking/target in .177.. the HW30 seems a tad small and the HW95 likely overkill.. keep em coming!

Just found out what works great as lube inside piston spring grease. I used to used regular bearing grease but the red from Walmart it started breaking down but just put a new piston seal cleaned inside tube with brake cleaner changed because it was dieseling. So used the sticky bearing grease doesn't seem to break down like regular grease had both in garage the regular bearing grease was breaking down and separating like some was runny but my older sticky bearing grease which is probably some type of marine grease i think? Seems to not break down and is working great in one of my hw95 luxus 22cal. Have Diana 48 side lever. It is super accurate just like my weihrauch's so is my RWS/Diana 350 magnum in 22cal. Try the sticky grease sometime. Maybe called tacky grease?

Awhile ago you mentioned the gamo rifle shooting high and low because of the alive jam (detent). I have three crosman air rifles very accurate on horizontal but up and down on vertical. Taking your insight I replaced the spring behind the detent with a stronger spring and now the rifles are accurate to 1/4 ". If anyone else has a problem like this try this fix.

[@springpistonriflefeverlone9611]

@@gordsalo-io8iu Thank you for checking out my video!😃👍 Since I added a new spring behind the wedge detent in my Crosman Storm XT, it improved it much. I do have a hard time mentioning Gamo because of the plastic breach block and wedge detent, but they are known for good barrels.

Jim Chapman claims the nitro gas guns are better and more consistent than springers whats your take

[@springpistonriflefeverlone9611]

@@chub4141 I like Jim Chapman, but Jim Chapman is sponsored💵by all of the air rifle's from the companies in his videos. He would lose his sponsorship💵 soon as he said something that was truthful. The current producers of the best air rifles in the world are Weihrauch and Air Arms and they use steel coiled springs in their rifles. If the gas spring was superior, they would switch the rifles over. A steel coiled spring will always be much smoother, easier to cock and more reliable, especially when tuned right.

@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 Hey Chuck thanks for the reply sounds like someone has been dipping elk poop in chocolate and calling it candy.Im in Utah and to be honest I've never heard of them rifles you mentioned back hear us rednecks can't get our minds around paying 500 plus bucks for a pellet gun all that's sold are Gamosand Benjamin's I've got both and I paid 2 to 3 hundred bucks for them but most.guys buy the 100 buck ones.But they claim the nitro guns can stay cocked longer and if you cock a springer to long it starts losing power in fact the only store around me Big 5 is the only store that carries a line of air guns I shoot those Crossman pellets and they shoot good but in my opinion and I'm no expert.it seems to me air temperature has a big impact on where pellets hit with the springers or nitro guns.And Chapman claims with springers with 22 you want about 800 to 900 fps and with 177 around a 1000 fps or they will start hitting all over.You look old enough to remember the old Benjamin 10 pumps and the green oily pellets they were smooth bore but were very accurate.If you don't mind me asking how much do those you mentioned cost and where can a.guy find one.Again Thanks
