So I decided to jump in & get my feet wet. I have a 1077 that's a couple years old, of which has been stock till I started reading all the various mods. So far, I am in the process of adding a bulk air setup consisting of parts from Bryan& Associates & Muzzle Mack. Some of the other mods, I am doing or trying to do, are of what AirGunEric had posted. I believe that it was on this forum that someone had mentioned maybe using foam crack sealer to stabilize the barrel. I have not instrumented it yet, but I have found a way to do it & still have the barrel as removable. I do have one question that I hope someone can help me with: I presently have my 1077 disassembled waiting for parts. The question is about the V spring in front of the hammer assem. Is it the hammer latch spring? I am not up on all these part names. Anyway, I am not sure how that latch spring reinstalls. It had fallen out when I parted the two halve. Thanks in advance   Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2010 5:31 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" The small latch that sits at the top of the hammer is difficult to position the spring (tabs need to be facing the correct way and it can be a bit of an issue. Bonus is, rifle does not need this part to operate, so if you must, it can be left out. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

BTW, if it is ok to leave the latch & spring out, what was it's purpose. And what would change as to the guns operation? Thanks again..   Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2010 10:00 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" I believe, and don't quote me on this, it's original intent was to help reduce the potential for hammer bounce in the firing cycle and/or accidental discharge by slamming the butt down. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."
