I could give it a crack. Spending inordinate amounts of time decoding how things work and fixing them is about the only thing I do well. I spent today building a sort of tuning fork shaped frame out of 5/8" square steel to bolt to my NP XL 1100 to add weight and make everything more rigid. I have come to the conclusion that a spring piston gun twice as powerful as another ought to weigh twice as much too in order to not shake the scope to pieces. My fix will also let me rigidly screw the stock to the action. As it is now the three stock screws sandwich the wood stock between the screw heads and the action. One of them has some plastic in the mix too. Experience has shown that there isn't a snowball's chance in **** of that holding up to the massive recoil this thing has. So while you have to support the weight of the stock while shooting, it does not dampen the motion of the action as far as the scope is concerned. Well, no more. Everything will be bolted, silver soldered, screwed, and glued into one massive block. Maybe then I will be able to hit the broadside of a barn more than 5 shots in a row.
Anyway, that's the kind of thing I do. When I was home visiting my parents I fixed their washer by gluing the idler roller back onto its bearing and the dryer blower wheel back onto the motor shaft. Maybe I can glue the worm gear back on.
