Hey guys i am geting a 1077W or 1077LB now it's about 125$. Now i dont know what i should get with it... laser,scope,airkit(which one),so on and besides that what should i do to it to pump up the fps because in canada it gose to only 475fps the leagal limit! which realy sucks so if any body knows wat to do tell me! with instuctions or url. thz
would changeing the hammer spring help and also a lighter triger spring so it evens out the force required to fire but with more power/speed... i have also heard about air kits wat is the one that is on the gun at the top of the page or is it a longer aircartrige or sumtin... wat should i get the Lb or W version of the 1077?
the air source that Crosman came out with. It will raise your FPS. And no Matthew changing the valve is not illegal. You can buy a new valve from Crosman and have some one from the states ship it to you. That would make your gun shoot 650 FPS but it might be a bitch to put in the gun.
i heard that the air sorce normaly breaks ur hammer spring after a little while but i think i will get a stronger hammerspring and softer triger spring anyhow and also it is sposed too be realy hard to find and too install i wish they came out with a longer air tank that could fit and be refillable... can i kill a rabit with 495fps??? or anything for that matter???
495fps might be ok to dispatch a mouse, or piss off a rat, but a rabbit you would most likly just hurt it, and that's not a good thing to do.
Becides at any distance at that speed the sound of the pop will arrive before the pellet, mice and rats will jump increasing the probability of a miss...
k if i am shooting crosman copperhead wad cutters 7.9 with 495fps how much ppsi is that well lets see ... (as i wip out my airgun calculator...)7.90g = 121.91350824grains now 121.913... grains blah blah blah.....with the 495fps...=66.3465596 ppsi now that is like me hiting you with a slege hamer going 50km a sec so that i think is deffiently enoff to kill a rabit!... any one else got a better way of telling... any one kill a rabit with a canadien version of the 1077?
A 308 has about 150 grains. Now THAT would be like hitting somebody with a sledge hammer. Good luck trying to get it to move with that little bit of CO2 though...
Seriously though. If you really wanna hunt rabbits and wanna use an airgung for that, please invest some of your money into a decent rifle. There's plenty of precharged air rifles out there, that can make a .22 pellet travel at 1000fps. Sure, they are pricey and I certainly don't know anything about the legality of them in Canada. But!! Please consider being able to make ethical shots!!! You're goal should always be: One shot, one kill. Even though that rabbit might end up on your dinner plate, it still deserves to be taken in an ethical manner. Meaning, don't try to shoot it when you can't be 100% sure that you're gonna be able to do that one shot kill. There's nothing worse than hurting an animal, just to have it run off and then later die a miserable death because of it's injuries.
a red ryder? that thing is cheap ... i cant spend too much but a redryder is like crap ... one sec let me re-calculate
7.9g... with the 495...comes out to 4.299...
dam wat about 625?
well 7.9g...with 625...comes out to 6.853...
that is like some one throwing a pencil at you realy fast... i think hunting with this gun ur gona need pointed pellets that will go throu the animal and hopefully rip out it's organs... oww that must hurt!
go www.airguns.org or www.airgun.org and go downloads and so on... there r also some hunting tips... i killed a crow with a 7.9 gram pointed,copperhead and 150 fps real cheap gun but it kinda flew into a tree... so wtv
just 2 weeks ago I killed a jackrabbit with a Daisy 105 Buck which is just like the red ryder, and I have killed large blackbirds before with a slide action Marksman Laserhawk that I got for $30 Canadian-probably the cheapest rifle ever.
I think it shoots BBs 300 fps. Not a bad close-range non-co2 bird hunting rifle, because the slide-action lets you get quick follow up shots.
