As didn't see any abnormal sights, so I just shoot it and didn't do anything to the gun so far...

Actually the barrel looks a bit dry to me ~ but not a problem at all as while using co2 capsule, I always put a drop of pellgunoil on the tip and the oil will be just blown all through the route to the muzzle...

I'd recommend cleaning the barrel if possible. As Doc Sharptail has mentioned, it will increase your accuracy once you get the gunk out of the rifling.

What a busy night tonight ~

After sighted in the new scope for my HW35 , I started to work on the new rear sight that just came in the mail box today for the Chaser barrel band.

A very tight fit that needed a little tapping using the screw driver handle, it didn't cause me much effort to put on the sight.

It just works so well now with the long barrel and the shoulder stock.

Same adjustment method as the old rear sight. But the manual looks a bit incorrect about how to adjust the windage... There are two screws on both sides of the notch blade. You nees to loose one and tighten the other to adjust it to move left or right. A new adjustment design to me. Took me some time to figure out how it works...

And the glossy notch blade looks a bit too shiny in the light and the reflection on the edge affects the sight view a little bit... Except this everything just runs well ~

I also put on the multi shots (7 shots) mag. Runs good too!!

Oh, yeah, I also used 6 or 7 cleaning pellets to push through the barrel to clean it. The first one and the 3rd one were soaked with 2, 3 drops of 30ND oil, the others were just dry cleaning pellets... And the used cleaning pellets told me this is really necessary.... As the dirty pellets are look dark brown color which I doubt some rust inside the barrel?! Or just the dried out factory ludes?

Will try more ( and more and more:D) shots tomorrow to see if it shoots more accurate after cleaning... No more time to keep on playing with the gun after cleaning job done.... Image

Yep sir, a friend of mine has about the same gun. He bought it, although he is not into airguns, because of me, lol! Anyway, I cleaned it myself and adjusted the trigger so that it is now a single-stage. It is a precise gun but we never did use the magazines. I dunno but I have an aversion to them, preferring to load 1 pellet at a time.

How about shooting it bereft of a band?

Ar.... Never tried that, but I think if you use the long barrel, the barrel band is a must... It's not like the Crosman steel breech and long barrel which actually the barrel is set about 3 or 4 inches into the breech.

In the Chaser, there is about an inch of the end of the barrel set into the breech and fixed by 3 very tiny screws...

Without the band, it would just like you only hold the very end of a 2 meters long bar in your palm and play with it using one hand...

Yes, I did notice it now based on your photos :D

Oh, I used my own stash of JSB 8g pellets when we tested his and it grouped very decently.

The trigger on this pistol has very sharp corners though so I just slipped some small o-rings around it. It was several months ago and now he has sold it to another friend of ours.
