Don't try to fix this yourself!<br /><br />As with any spring/piston air rifle, you MUST use an airgun spring compressor for any work like this on these airguns. The spring is very powerful and you can cause serious injury to yourself if you get something wrong!Stephen Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543155589352079608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186681188953339980.post-23686289946724106672012-04-09T16:45:04.152-04:002012-04-09T16:45:04.152-04:00Hi, anyone know how to relieve the presure in the ...Hi, anyone know how to relieve the presure in the cylinder. my safety is stuck on and I need to disassemble the Rifle to repair it.

Frankly, I wish I hadn't. Let<br />me explain why. <br /><br />Good points: <br /><br />(1) low price<br /><br />(2) nice synthetic stock (although the length of pull is very long -- that suits me as a tall adult, but<br />is less than ideal for my wife and<br />kids)<br /><br />(3) good finish on the blued metal parts<br /><br />Bad points: <br /><br />(1) *incredibly* heavy trigger pull, about the worst trigger pull I've *ever* experienced <br /><br />(2) crude sights (hey, how hard would it be just to have a square front blade and a matching square notch rear) instead of "fiber optic" sights that in this case are too small to do anything?<br /><br />(3) an automatic safety (like that<br />part) BUT unfortunately, once you've taken it off you can't<br />put back on unless you "recock" the rifle (DON'T like that part).<br /><br />(4) in 5.5mm (.22) caliber, an H&N Meisterkugelen doesn't even fully sink into room temperature duct seal; not looking for 1000FPS for a springer trainer, but I think even 450FPS (as claimed in the manual) might be "optimistic" in this case.<br /><br />Just FYI. Maybe I just got a Monday morning or Friday afternoon unit, or maybe you just get what you pay for, but I'm not impressed.joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186681188953339980.post-36944617853486295442009-07-14T07:31:33.687-04:002009-07-14T07:31:33.687-04:00No, it's a "home brew" cammo patern....No, it's a "home brew" cammo patern.
