Thanks! This would be pretty helpful for a newbie like me!

How about adding some more highlights as to where we need to put lube on the parts for future tuning? :)

Hi..Yer have any idea how close those are to a TAC77 / Remington Genesis ?

I have no idea Pete if they have the same parts with the TAC77 or Remington Genesis. But considering that both are rated at 1000FPS with lead pellets I assume that they might share a lot of similar parts on their design.

I have only used a couple of springers so far, namely the Crosman G-1 Extreme, Gamo Whisper, Gamo Big Cat (the only one I now own), and Daisy Powerline 1000S.

Tac77 - Yes. Remington Genesis - very likely.

Actually the part labeled "cocking lever" is the loading link.
Technically a lever has to have a fulcrum in order to be a
true lever, of which the part in question clearly does not.
It is a link that loads the piston against the mainspring.
The barrel is the actual cocking lever.

And while I'm at it, "top hat" is slang for piston piston weight
(used to increase piston dwell time at the end of the stroke) in a
springer and the valve adjusting nut on an Airforce gun.

Sorry for the techno-jargon pullup, but I'm a retired auto
tech and used to calling things by their correct names.
You know, a "Crecent wrench" is in reality an adjustable
wrench (Crecent is a brand name), a "Pillips" screwdriver is a
pointed cross-point screwdriver and an Allen (another brand
name) wrench is correctly refered to, by those in the know, as
a hex key.

Now, I think that I will go out and check the pumpin in my car
and get a pickle fork (slang for check the fluid in the differential
and acquire a balljoint extractor).
