can't get the picture one to work so i guess you gotta click the link,

Tell me what you think of my gun, and what i should add / or take off of it. or anything i should do to change it . Thanks.

yeah, but you can change the stock length by pressing in on the bottom lever and sliding it. :) - I also want to get a real red dot sight. thats my next goal

You can get them at wal-mart for 30 bucks i think. most people use them for show, but some times you can use them tho.

Not bad. Sights don't really look that great, maybe just get rid of one.

 

Is where it leaks from, i put the sealant tape stuff on it, like 5 layers, and it still leaks out, but it dosn't blow tons out now, it just hisses slowly out.---I also changed the o-rings, and oiled them. Took the gun apart, oiled everything, changed all o-rings . Put it back together right. and yeah. still leaks. so idk. Thanks !

um.. teflon tape IS a sealant... just if you use too much.. you cant thread w/e it is your threading in far enough...

and loctite is NOT a sealant, however it does work that way sometimes... its a thread locking compound to prevent them from backing out

its likely the tombstone isnt creating a good seal with the valve oring, or even maybe that oring is damaged.

You can use a red dot with a flatline barrel as long as you understand that it will only be accurate at the range it is sited in at and that it will not site in effectively at the longer ranges.  My recommendation in this instance is to select a medium range (15 - 30 yards) for siting in.  At the shorter ranges you should be able to point and shoot and the cone of fire at the longer ranges will require accuracy by volume anyways.

Note on above suggested range of ranges:  Experiment and see what works best for you as not all marker and flatline set-ups are identical.  I know folks who have tried this and found they couldn't site in at the 25 to 30 yard ranges.  Also experiment with different velocities to see what works best.  (I recommend starting at 255 fps and working up in very small increments.)
