D1zzle Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hi All Me and a friend recently brought .177 BSA Comets and i find that mine sound much much more twangy from my spring than my friends, is this normal? It seems to fire pretty well but was a little unsure about the noise it makes! Should i be worried? I have fired about 350 - 400 pellets though it now hoping that the spring was just wearing in but NO its still the same! What should i do? Sorry if this is a really newbie question but have to start somewhere i guess!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA-airgunner Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 sounds like there is less spring grease on yours its just a way of damping out the twang should not cause any problemes but be warned if you strip it to regrease its easy to overload the spring with grease and you will get a drop in power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
air gunner Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 how long would the drop in power last? I grease mine occasionally and probably putt too much on. Never had a power drop but just in case is it terminal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA-airgunner Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 not terminal just over greased strip clean lube correctly and its very hard to say just how much is enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubshot Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Never appreciated Springers But aware of many that do And in recent months have seen more in use on Ranges @ Lea Valley And hear of Shooters that can make the difference and how they need more love and care Joys of being a Club Shooters as there is alway's someone more aware than you on the Ranges most weeks..........

air gunner Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I have only just really started to appreciate my springer. I have never owned a pcp and have always thought of them as better than my BSA but now i have goten quite a good shot with my springer i have no need for a pcp. It sounds to me that they reqire more routine maintaince charging etc. at my level of shooting this is not needed. if you have a springer get good with it and it is fair contest to a pcp and far cheaper.
