😭😭😭😭 video wasn't long enough , I need more . your content is NEVER boring , it's the the highlight of my Sunday morning . easily one if the best and most informative air channels on the tube to date 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Hi Ian. It is a powerful rifle. If nothing else, your 12 ft/lb limit forces the shooter to become proficient. When it comes to small game, accuracy trumps power, and you guys display some amazing skill with your guns.
Great work, love the videos sir! I've an idea for a fun project: buy the cheapest, rough break barrel you can find ( new ) and see what you can do with it!
@@razor1962 I've done a few Chinese guns with varying results...lol. Polishing de buring etc. Decent guides and good lube. good to see you didn't polish the chamber! With a synthetic seal it just causes dieseling IMHO. You don't polish cylinder walls when fitting new piston rings in an engine for example. I've found leather seals like a shiny bore though. Keep up the good work sir.
As always.. a good enjoyable and informative Video. BTW, have you put a few more pellets thru your Custom HW50 to see if its running in and the power is increasing. Try Some H&N FTT's they work so well in mine. Keep up the good work.
Hi Kevin, I have seen you do this buttoning in a few videos now, can you tell me what is it you use, are they a specific airgun spare part or do you make them yourself.? I have never come accross them in any spares pages on my regular website shops. Thank you.
The crosshatching with the 3M pad, is this something you do with all of your air rifles and is this what Jim Maccari recommends? I ask because I'm waiting for some piston seals for my Hatsan 125. Ps, before, the only thing I did was clean out the old lube and put new molly on the piston and piston seal.
I'm not sure what Mr Macarri recommends, but Marc, who comments here often, taught me to use a very fine grade of emery paper. It was my idea to use the scratch pad. I used to molly the seal and piston like you. That works, too. The idea of scratching the cylinder walls is that it provides a place for the molly to cling, creating a film which won't get wiped away.
Not yet, my friend. I'm sure that there will be one eventually. I have my eye out for a well cared for, used 48 in .22 . When I get my hands on one, there will be videos to follow.
@@razor1962 I’m wondering Kevin If you could do a full length video on a repair on a hw break barrel with step by step instructions with close ups from start to finish , that would be perfect 👍🏻 Ty only a request my friend. Ps I just completed a google search not one if one photo of a breakdown of a break barrel . Hmm 🤔 ☝🏻

@@razor1962 Well I need one and I'd rather use the correct metric size than eyeballing a SAE punch, but thanks. I love your videos by the way, I recently subscribed 👍
@wesbodine6102 Welcome aboard, my friend. Have you already got the rifle to refer to, or would you like for me to measure the pin diameter on one of mine?
@@razor1962 No I've had the rifle for over 20 years, it still has the original spring and it's getting tired, next month I'm going to install a Vortek PG4 HO kt in it and I just wondered if you knew what size punch it takes, it's no big deal, I can knock one of the pins out just a little and measure it with my dial calipers👍

Thanks very much. So happy to learn that you're enjoying the channel.
This is a great way of learning some tune up techniques.
Thanks, Iwan!
It never gets boring Kevin ! Always interesting and enjoyable to watch thanks
Great video. I am envious of your workshop, seems like you have a great shop for working on rifles.
Thanks very much, my friend. It's a modest workshop, but it's adequate for what I do.
Great video Kevin. Looking forward to part two!

Thanks very much. It's great to hear that you're enjoying the channel.
The work, care, and knowledge you put into your rifles is pretty remarkable!
Thanks very much.
Great and educational videos, that rifle sounds very powerful, unfortunately over here in England we are stuck with the sub 12ftlb.

Me too
Hello there, neighbor! Thanks for watching, my friend.
I didn't know that Peter. Howdy, neighbor!
@@razor1962 I’m in ct , how you do !
Well, don't rub it in... I'm in N.J. and they'll be registering Pea Shooters any day now ! 🙄
Good Morning
Hello, my friend.
Got to do my 34 again, thanks for the video it's been a while for me great refresh
Thanks very much.
@razor1962 I've just ordered the arh soft tune kit for mine , I have some new diana piston seals so will use one of those if it needs it
@peterconnor4193 Awesome, Peter. Good luck with the rebuild.
Thanks very much for this work on the Diana 34. I'm looking forward now to Part 2.
Thanks, Reg. Always a pleasure, my friend.
Thanks Razor
My pleasure, sir.
Great video - thanks!
Thanks Jeff and thanks for watching, my friend.
Fear not. Even at twice as long we wouldn't get bored
It looks like it was a nice day to be outside.
A beautiful day, for sure. Thanks for watching David.
Always enjoy your rebuilds.
Thanks very much. It's great to hear that.
Can't wait to see the part 2. I have exact the same gun, only thing I did was replace the spring with Vortek tuning kit. the gun is so powerful.
It's a fantastic platform. Dropping a good kit in it is the icing on the cake.
Thanks as always, my friend.
Lovely gun but I kinda like a buzz with my springers I am a hw fan I think its part of the charm each to our own
We all enjoy a good buzz now and again, my friend. 🤣🤣🤣
As always.. a good enjoyable and informative Video.

Thanks, Steve. I haven't shot that 50 much at all. I'll pick it up again soon. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Nice job bud, where did you get the buttons? I’m in the uk and they’re not something you can just buy over here.
Those are called "Old School Buttons" and they're available from Air Rifle Headquarters.

Hi Peter. The buttons are made of PTFE. They are available from ARH (air rifle headquarters)

Excellent, thanks for the info I'll take a look.
Put that mic up there... lets hear that Telecaster ! 🤠

@@razor1962Thank you. I like your way. I will plan on trying it out.
It's basically how we were instructed in the N.R.A. Spring Airgun Repair courses by Randy Bimrose. Simple and it works... 😉👍
Do you have a review video on the 48 model?
Not yet, my friend. I'm sure that there will be one eventually. I have my eye out for a well cared for, used 48 in .22 . When I get my hands on one, there will be videos to follow.
@@razor1962 It's in my plan to get one soon, but I like to see some reviews first, to make sure I'll make a good purchase
I have a 48 with a troublesome t01 trigger. Have you any experience making that trigger work smoothly?
Thanks always interesting 😎👍🏻
Where is the Luxus ?
Which Luxus Peter?
@@razor1962 the hw95 with the new stock
Ah,.....I haven't forgotten, but I've been too busy to get to it. I'm sure that we'll make some headway with it this winter.
OK my friend @@razor1962

Are the 3 buttons in the Maccari kit?
Macarri sells the buttons, but they are not included with his kits.
thank you Kevin@@razor1962
Are you familiar with the Diana 34 EMS?
I am familiar. However, I have no hands-on experience with the rifle.
How is the shoulder doing?
Not so good, Ken. I have a very physical job, and I keep aggravating it. I appreciate your asking. It'll get better when things slow down at work.
sorry to hear that!@@razor1962
What are the dots made of?
What Marc said....
What size punch do you need to remove the trigger pins? Is it 5mm?
To be honest. I have no idea. I don't really look at the size. I just grab the punch that's slightly smaller diameter than the pin.
