Hook blade on my Sportsman. My first mod! But it doesn't work very well...

Tried out Felix Immlers hook blade mod. I have no use for a can opener so making a package opener of sorts was appealing to me. It kinda works but maybe I've got the angle wrong or something cause it doesn't cut nearly as well as Immler demonstrates in his video. Anyone else tried this and had it come out welll?

Trying my hand at pocket clips.

Bought some pocket clips off Aliexpress to try. I like how they turned out aesthetically. The screws are secured with nuts inside the scales. Next I'll try with recessed screws as the screw heads protrude up and snag on my pants' pocket. Credit to Felix Immler for making a tutorial video on pocket clips.

What's the perfect size for urban EDC?

A video of me rambling on about weight and thickness in regards to carryability in the context of urban EDC pocket carry. Two layer celidor or three layer alox are as big as I can pocket carry and consider it comfortable. What's your size limit!?

Weihrauch HW30S wearing out? Resistance during cocking cycle. How to fix?!

Hi r/airguns. Hoping to use your expertise.

I've had my HW30S for about six years now and am getting close to 10,000 pellets through it. Very recently started to feel resistance in one spot during the later half of the cocking cycle when previously it had always been smooth. Took off the stock to investigate and found quite a bit of wear on one side of the cocking slot.

Internet search tells me this type of galling/wear is not uncommon on this model and to apply molybdenum disulfide (moly) grease to the areas of wear such as Air Ventury Moly Paste.

While I search for any available said Moly Paste in Canada, is there anything else I can do to repair the rifle?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: u/ezzda1 pointed out in one of the photos it looks like something is lodged in the spring. On closer inspection it actually appears to be the end of a broken coil so I can only assume my coil snapped in two at some point. Assuming it is a broken coil, aside from taking it apart to put in a new coil, would the galling/wear along the cocking slot not cause future problems or would a mild sanding and an application of the moly paste be sufficient?
