I just wanted to give you a big thanks for this series of videos.

Thanks to these, I was able to perform my first spring/seal replacement on my Gamo CFX.

I constructed a completely different spring compressor, though.

I made mine with a behemoth of a 48" Jorgensen model 7248 bar clamp and two hinged blocks of wood with 1.5" holes drilled so that the hinges bisect the holes.

I then keep them secured with lock hasps and carabiners.

Great work, jgoodz!

@PinkOld He said he sold it. I already have a couple of cfx's.  i hate to mess w/ them tho cause they shoot pretty good. 750-800 fps. .22 is low 600's. I'll consider it. Thanks anyhow.

[filoIII]

@PinkOld It supposedly already has the gas spring installed. I don't know how to make a spring compressor anyhow :) There is absolutely no one I know of that has anything to do w/ airguns in my area. Perhaps I'll run an ad in the paper and find out. Thanks.

@filoIII

For what it's worth, my own (spring powered, and I did the spring/seal replacement myself) .177 Gamo CFX gets about 750fps or so.

I just don't believe 850-900, unless maybe someone is using those horrible PBA or other ultra-lightweight pellets.

As for the replacement, it's really not all that hard, just as long as you have a decent spring compressor.

Doing the job by converting over to gas ram should be a bit easier, since you will be discarding the spring guide, and you won't use tar.

[filoIII]

@PinkOld I'm thinking of trying it on a CFX as well. How difficult is it? I know a fella selling his for $165 w/ a gas ram. He says it shoots erratic 750 fps but that a seal may be bad. He said it should get back to 850-900 fps. I didn't know the CFX would shoot that fast. Thanks.

Safety safety safety, absolutely, start with good lighting and not in the half dark!!
