How To Make An Air Rifle Spring Compressor

[vitebsk1944]

Nice vid, the one I made is similar. I added some tape around the U bolts to keep the action from getting scratched; also made some wood blocks to fit over the clamp and the end cap, for more positive contact. Some springs come out bent.

[Tilbily]

Just bought one of these Phantoms today. To "upgrade" the performance, my understanding is to buy one of the repair kits from Eric. To install his kit, will I need to compress and decompress springs?

@jgoodz420 What a great way you have of responding to your viewers questions. If i'd known you were going to get your illiterate 12 year old son to respond your replies I wouldn't have bothered watching the video in the first place. banned, blocked and reported.

[jgoodz420]

@AJGumsey

Yeah OK bud...

[moonieparone]

@AJGumsey suicide is an option for idiots like you :) go block yourself

[AJGumsey]

@moonieparone You'll only be saying that with genuine conviction when you're putting out the fire in your trailer stupid faking hillbilly.

[moonieparone]

@AJGumsey thats not wot your Mum was telling me this morning mate ;)

@msfootball97

Wow good comment...way to validate your intelligence, or should I say lack thereof lol

[46FreddieMercury91]

what about this idea? put the spring in,place the gun chamber vertically on the floor with spring touching,then get someone to sit on the top via a board.the weight should push the spring in.

[erpiii]

Nice Video... I have a Gamo hunter 440 and although I haven't disassembled the gun yet, but it looks a lot like the gun you have been working on. Does your gun have the same inner-workings as my Hunter 440? I want to disassemble it to check everything including the seal. Where would you get a seal if you needed one? Thanks for any help you can give me!

[oooops10]

warcraft: we need more lumber!

[msfootball97]

This is pointless

[jgoodz420]

@msfootball97

Is it? why did you watch it then? you don't seem too intelligent...

[JaleelJohanson62]

@msfootball97 That's because you're not using your head.....

[jgoodz420]

@afker553

It about $40-$50 worth of supplies at most, if you buy scrap lumber and bolts individually probably $30

[afker553]

i dont have those materials -_-

[TheArea510]

My gamo big cat 1200 spring is weak now, where can i buy spring or what its call?

[hw7777]

i made mine with 3 rubber insulated pipe rings. worked G R E A T.

haters gon hate

[brydrinksicewater]

Great video. I just built a mainspring compressor myself, using your video as a reference. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this, probably the easiest instructions I've seen on building this piece of equipment. Great for this of us who are new to tuning airguns. Btw I have 2 stoeger x10's, which are B19 variants as well. So this compressor was perfect for me, dimensions- wise. Thanks, buddy!!

[jgoodz420]

@brydrinksicewater

No problem, glad I could help....

[aqilkeck1]

what is you projectile?

[jgoodz420]

@jperales29

its for compressing springs lol

[elliottjameswalsh]

@jgoodz420 LOL

[MrPapergunner]

What software do you use those red letters?

[jgoodz420]

@MrPapergunner

@jgoodz420 hi, what is the difference between a c clamp and a g clamp thanks

[farookbulsasra]

this is great.thanks for uploading it!

[MisterWannabee]

Mine is basically the same but shorter, meant to be used with the barrel removed. Since removing the barrel is only a matter of the one pivot bolt, it's worth the time. Then, I can clean and lube the pivot area upon reassembly. Good vid.

[psiturbo]

Fail, bent barrel recipe...

[jgoodz420]

@psiturbo

LOL

A Phantom spring (unless you are an idiot) will not cause enough deflection to bend your barrel. I have tuned at least 15 of these guns and never bent a barrel yet. If you bend barrel in a spring compressor you should be looking at your own flawed techniques, as many people use them and not many bend their barrels...maybe your special lol

[psiturbo]

@jgoodz420

Rule of thumb for air rifle springs is for every compressed inch is 40 pounds of force, so easily 80 pounds on the barrel, tell that to the warranty! Better you than me, I am too special to go that route. Give you credit for the video, but setup is fail!

[jgoodz420]

@psiturbo

Really? your serious? 35lbs is applied horizontally to the barrel every-time you cock the gun, and you think the force of reinstalling the spring will bend the barrel? You obviously know nothing about this, the spring is barely even compressed when you are reinstalling it, the actual compression takes place only when the gun is cocked. The compressor compresses it enough so that everything fits back into the compression chamber, stop trying to act like you know, you obviously don't

[djce18]

GOOD JOB

[lordfranz24]

lol man you call that wood working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davidcarr3]

@lordfranz24

Oooohh burn, you got F'ed in the A

[lordfranz24]

@davidcarr3 huh?

[MisterWannabee]

@lordfranz24 It doesn't have to be pretty, just functional. It's not intended to be fine furniture.

[jgoodz420]

@MisterWannabee

Thats just it...Yeah I could have sanded it down to 600grit, stained it and put a clear coat on it as well...But why the hell would I? LOL

Cheers,

[mephiskapheles6]

Would I have to make one of these for the Benji Trail NP All Weather?

[MrEmnem]

hahaha

[bullzye01]

not a bad idear for compressing the spring cheers

[Edox101]

Good vid mate!

For anyone without a mitre box you can also make one at home very easily.

[kariemariann]

i watched the whole video hoping it was a crosman, and its the same gun as mine ! AWSOME VID!

[CoDmAsTeR7000]

wtf????

[MANDELBROT27]

And !!! what the fuck do you do with that???

[pyronathanpyro]

@MANDELBROT27 wtf its easy as reading title

[johnbunsenburner]

Hey mate, great job on the video. I have a Diana 22 and I disassembled it, which was a dumb ass move... Now I need to push it back in, and it seems that I need to push the spring in past the trigger, then insert and fix the trigger, then let go and let the spring LIE on the trigger while I add the second pin and the end cap.

I hope you can help me out soon, I'd like to get this done soon.

[ticktacktoe0121]

Thank you for posting this.

I have done the job with out the proper kit before and I do not advice that to anyone. It was my first time and i did not expect the spring to be under any presure with the gun not being cocked, but you live and learn.

Now I will be able to do the job happley knowing the spring is not going to come flying out.

[bazengao]

what does it do (what is that for). and why would i want to do that?!

[W68P6W86W]

Hey great videos with the airguns good shit. Making a spring compressor one question should the plastic peice at the end of the chamber (the peice that makes everything flush when on the stock) slide off?? Having some trouble gettin it out by the way its a .177 gamo.

[jgoodz420]

I believe you are speaking of the end cap, at the end of the compression chamber.......and yes, it should come off..........

I would need to see the gun to know for sure though, if you email me pics I will tell you for sure.......Cheers

[gewizz2]

should i buy a 300dollar 22 airrifle for 80 dollars?

its unused and mint condition !

its gamo!

but i dont shoot animals so should i buy this bargain?

[duffy7993]

yea

[pitmonkeylondon]

Excellent tutorial, i have just made one the same as you, so thank you!!

[jgoodz420]

Hey no problem, glad I could help........

[1keloso1]

Hard work, but well worth it!!!

[jgoodz420]

Yeah it takes a little time and effort, but once you have one, you cant imagine not having one LOL

Its just so much safer, its not even worth it to not use one.......Its also seriously about 100X easier to do using a spring compressor, I can take apart, change the piston seal and put back together a phantom in 10-11mins LOL

[jgoodz420]

This is for maintenance on a spring piston air rifle, so you can safely remove the internals without having the spring tension cause you harm, cheers....

[sausaage123]

heya, im planning to make a small rifle using a crutch (jackal style! cos its compact, light and hollow, so i can make a bullpup type design) and am debating whether to use spring power or air power... what do you reckon would be most portable and easier to use?

[metalero19882]

the spring need to be pulled back in place to shot again. if you run on gas the system is much more faster and clean.

[sausaage123]

cheers :)

[fredfanman1]

my uncle did this he was in jail FOR FREAKIN SIX YEARS DONT DO THIS IF YOUR GONNA

[jgoodz420]

There is nothing illegal about this. This for maintenance purposes, always follow your local laws and regulations..........apparentl­y your uncle didnt.......

[jgoodz420]

Hey no problem, glad I could help, cheers.........

[machilp]

Excellent ! Thank you.

[jgoodz420]

hey no problem, cheers.

[husseinnamr3]

GOOD MAN

[AiRGuNmOdEr]

wooow this is amazing =D ..actully i can't get it o.O but anyways  5 starz :D

[JsS2K]

5 stars from me. great idea!!!

[jgoodz420]

Thanks man, Im editing my disassembly video as we speek. So if you want to see disassembly, and this compressor in action, check it out.......cheers.

[SRVman177]

please make the disassembly video
