It really is. Although I don't know exactly what is being said in this context, I believe that there is room in our world for the incredible and the inexplicable. I even sometimes use http://essaypapers.reviews/ for myself. We live in a world full of mysteries and unsolved mysteries. What if, beyond our understanding, there are inexplicable phenomena and events that affect our reality, but which we are not yet aware of?

A couple of views of the muzzle spanner machined up on my lathe. The handles are large bolts turned down on the ends to engage the relief ports in the muzzle with short pins that fit into the port holes.

The slot in one face is a later addition for muzzles where the relief ports are very close to the nose cone entrance. In those situations an alloy pin is pushed through the ports and the spanner engages this piece of rod on its exposed ends, the rod being just long enough to poke out both sides of the muzzle. For this to work you have to depressurize the gun and push the piston back just enough to get the pin through. A gun that required this approach was the Mares Mirage which has a stubby nose cone, it having two barrels, a shooting barrel and a pumping barrel.

Note that the gun must be fully depressurized to remove the muzzle in any case. Otherwise the piston leaning on the shock absorber anvil will load up the muzzle screw threads making it very hard to undo and it will be very dangerous as once the muzzle threads are fully undone the muzzle and piston will fly from the gun with potentially lethal consequences.

The muzzle is one half of a clamp that holds the pneumatic gun together by resisting the action of high pressure air trying to blow it apart. The other end of this strong clamp is the inlet valve body. The muzzle screws onto an external thread, the inlet valve body screws into an internal thread in the inner barrel tube. Some guns use a different arrangement at the rear end, holding the inlet valve body onto the inner barrel tube using a transverse pin or pins. An example is the Technisub Grinta and Jeans rear handle guns. Another is the Soviet Prizm or RPB-1.

Popgun pete, thank you for your help, I was able to unscrew the muzzle. Can you please help me where to put this little spring valve back, it fell out of the plastic ring when I dismantled the gun?

That is the older type one-way valve in the power regulator bulkhead and goes in from its rear face. The valve and the rubber seat are combined in that little solid rubber cylinder. When pressure is greater in the gun’s pre-chamber, i.e. the upper handle volume, it is blown forwards against its spring and opening up to let air flow forward into the tank, but when pressure is greater in the tank than the rear prechamber it shuts off air attempting to flow rearwards from the tank.
