- Help maintain your air gun by keeping dirt and pellet lead particles out of the hammer spring and compression port where the real maintenance damage takes place. Dr. Russ is working on a solution that helps keep your barrel down and the dirt and lead particles falling away from these special pneumatic parts.

You are a magnificent, beautiful genius, Sir! Thank you for your service!❤❤❤
Hello Dr. Russ, Thanks for the video.
Hunting woodchucks helps keep our skills sharp and it gets us outside too.
Be safe, Rick
Rick ... always good to hear from you ... and those woodchuck near the airport have no chance when you are on the hunt... we trust you are well ... Dr. Russ
Hi Dr Russ,never thought about storing airguns facing down,wise thing!!👍👍👍
George ... it is good to hear from you .... and thanks for the compliment... Dr. Russ
Always a pleasure to listen to your stories and also looking for solutions for improving our skills sets and storage ideas. Blessings always. Regards to Dr. Paula
Jerome ... it is always good to hear from you again... and thanks for the compliment... Dr. Russ
Very interesting Dr Russ, I always enjoy watching your videos.
Lance ... it is always good to hear form you too.... Dr. Russ
I tuned in for the airguns, but I am getting more in return. I like seeing the memorabilia. My uncle was a Marine who served in the VietNam War. He was not planning on survivng, but somehow he was the only survivor of two companies. He also survived two plane crashes and was the only survivor after jumping out of an exploding helicopter. He still has a sense of humor. He is my own personal hero.
Chris ... thanks for sharing this story ... your uncle was extremely lucky to survive those events... Dr. Russ
Hello Dr. Russ.
It's been awhile, I hope your well sir.
Your coming up with some great, practical ideas, and your Jesus project is very nice.
I need to come up with something myself in terms of storing my airguns.
I literally have each one of my guns in it's own case, pistols and rifles, and that's ok I guess, but the amount of room it takes up is more room then I have.
I really enjoyed this...thanks again!
Good to hear from you again George... and thanks for the compliments... Dr. Russ
That's an awesome idea . . . it's always good to see innovation in airgunning.
However, there's one thing to consider, every vessel containing (high) pressurized air contains moisture, that's the law of physics.
This means that we first have to confirm where the air cilinder/tank is located, in particular the cilinder valve and let that dictate how we store it.
On an air gun where the air tube/tank is used as buttstock (like the AirForce and the Evanix Rex line up) moisture can damage the air tube/cilinder valve because this moisture will be sitting where the valve mechanism is. Moisture and valves don't mix well for obvious reasons.
Now the following question arises: What is more damaging for an air gun?
The chance of debris falling in the transfer port or the certainty of mositure resting on the bottle valve?
I think your invention has a place but I would only recommend to store guns upside down when they have the air cilinder under the barrel or when the air cilinder valve is NOT the lowest point when turned upside down.
Butt stock bottled air guns I will always store in the conventional way, butt stock down.
In case of an air rifle with double air cilinders (stock and under barrel) maybe it's best to store it horizontal.
Springers, always barrel down.
So if one day your product will come to Europe, I will buy it.
Lot's of love from the Netherlands.
Good to hear from you jbhk.... hopefully, we get the dust and lead out of the barrel before it can get down into the compression cylinders... Thanks for your input... Dr. Russ
Can't wait to see the end project! 😮😂😊
Thanks for the update. You look well, hope so. 🙏💪
Bayou ... good to hear from you again... Dr. Russ
Thank you Dr. Russ for your service, I will be 70 in October, I wasn’t there but I do care, I have been a member of the Minnesota Patriot Guard for 15 years now and have stood many flag lines for our fallen men and women of the armed forces, I have also done many welcome home missions and deployments over the years, and have a tremendous respect for those of you that have given us the freedom that we have today, so thank you once again for serving.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the devices you are working on to hold these air rifles with the barrel to the ground.
Have a wonderful day and keep posting these great videos.
Another great video. I am ready to buy some of those gun racks. Don't sell yourself short. People are willing to pay and pay you a profit for all of the mental anguish. You need a "Fudge Factor".
Bill ... good to hear from you ... and thanks for the feedback ... hopefully we will have this rack where we want it within the next 30 days... Dr. Russ
Thanks to you and yours for the great channel, Dr Russ! Hope all is well and continues to be :)
Akira ... it is good to hear from you ... Dr. Russ
Thank you for the good info!
Lewis ... good to hear from you again and thanks for the compliment .. Dr. Russ
Lol..i was already planning to clean my mains barrel today.. but now I get to listen to Dr. russ while doing.. perfect.
I'm cleaning my 177 gamo with these cotton pellets. Their not the kind that you simply shoot tho; their made for going back and forth through the barrel with a push rod.
At first I used to get kinda stressed out cleaning because I had to leave the piston chamber pressurized for so long, but the more I do it the quicker I get.
This gun gets super dirty pretty quick.
Good to hear form you Michael.... thanks for the feedback... Dr. Russ
Dr. Russ, Lhave been doing this for three years.
Lewis ... it is good to hear about your past attachment to our passion ... and it is a great year around passion to pursue... Dr. Russ
This looks like a smart design. Modular and light and small. Good work! Personally I don't think you need any storage for pellets but magazine holders make sense. Please let us know when they are available and how much!
Adam ... good to hear from you ... Our rack is still a work in progress.... and thanks for your feedback... Dr. Russ
And i want one!❤
Love that design and look forward to being able to purchase soon! Are you taking deposits?
xdmc ... it is good to hear from you again... no deposits yet ... but once it is mastered... Dr. Russ
Hey Dr Russ .that's a beautiful Jesus u have there...👍
Hopefully, it will look good when I am finished with the cross... and will share it on a video... Dr. Russ
i removed the shroud of a fx dreamline after many shots ,and there was a lot of lead flakes and debris .that could fall back
Peter ... you have seen the root of the problem... glad you found it... Dr. Russ
Thank you Dr. Russ. Do you know the size to the thread of a .25 caliber Hatsan Invader? If so can you share it with me. Thank you 🙏
Locksmith ... I do not ... but I do know that the threads on air guns are a different size than you can find on powder firearms... Dr. Russ
I bought a hopps .177 cleaning kit. Besides the regular push rod, It comes with these adapters that I don't understand. One has like a copper wire-haired drill style bit and the other is a soft buffer looking thing.
What is up with the wire tool? Can that actually be put down the barrel safely?
Michael... your Hopps cleaning equipment is really for a powder firearm ... which needs a wire brush and strong cleaning... but air guns just need a clean swatch ... and barrel down... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 haha...thx Dr Russ. I was looking at the thing and thinking..."what the hell"? It makes sense for use in a.177 black powder barrel.
Personally I've been using cleaning pads but I also have two types of 177 felt pellets... the kind you just shoot through the rifle and the shorter fatter ones that can be driven back and forth.
I've found using the pushrod with the swatches to work best because one can twist it while going through the barrel and try to follow the flow of the rifling. With the pellets, I get less accuracy and I think it might not be cleaning the grooves as well as I need.
@@MichaelSmith420fu Also try a different brand and weight of pellets ... each type makes a big difference... Dr. Russ
what year in Nam, where were you , what did you do?
1968 ,,, Big Red One ... First Division... Infantry Platoon Leader ... 44 men ... returned with 28 ... survived the Tet Offensive ... wounded three times... still carry a bullet in my left arm..13 medals ... including Bronze Star ... Purple Heart .....Dr. Russ
Northwest of Saigon?@@russjones6497
Mostly north ... but west too .... in the Iron Triangle ... and us Hwy 13 (Thunder Road) from Saigon to N. Vietnam. On Occasion in 1968 we also found ourselves right up next to the Cambodian border... Dr. Russ@@Mustangchef
You look pretty good considering all that . ..good natured too.
Good to hear from you ....@@Mustangchef Vietnam was a long time ago.... Dr. Russ
Jesus Christ our only King ✝️🕯🙏
Andrew ... it is good to hear from you ... with an excellent message... Dr. Russ
Would you be my uncle? Please?❤
Dennis ... that would be a great compliment... hopefully we can have an event where viewers like you can get together... and yes ... consider me an uncle... Dr. Russ
🇳🇱😉👍
Good to hear from you Relax .... Dr. Russ
