Every once and awhile I treat myself to the best. Made by Stukey shooting bench's in Wyoming this thing is solid! Comes apart and easy to carry for as heavy duty as it is. See one and you'll want one.

USED,,, when ever I see a wide es, I suspect a gummy/sticky hammer,,,
dry lube, dry lube only ,,, clean out the hammer chamber also

What do you use? Ever use Drislide motorcycle cable lube it’s graphite. I’ve only put a couple drops of peligun oil on probe but will try cleaning like you said it’s got to come apart anyway.

EI’ve got on, and at 4 power with the hammer spring flush, it shoots the cheap Crosmans and the JSB 14.3s to the same POI. I get about 865fps for about 60 shots.

You and Josh777 reported the same, this is good news for my tins of Crossmans. My old Disco still having issues with these so spending some time there. Thx for heads up.

And not to worry, all the silly political baloney here is coming your state.

Ta-Ta Toothie · 2024-05-19T17:22:36-0500

If your saying may as well be in NYC, you don't understand. I'm not including the political crap. That part does blow.

My nephew bought a refurbished Marauder from Crosman. All they did was repackage it, they didn’t do the required repairs. The price was good and the repair was simple. So as others have said, beware.

CA you've got to be kidding

Might as well be NYC

Great country but the maintenance is a killer.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with dessicant between stages; I predict you would need to change it after every 1-3 uses.

Better to have a post-compressor molecular sieve filter, and if you REALLY want to go all out on moisture removal, about 4 feet of 1.5-2" pipe with color-changing desiccant on the intake side of the compressor.

The GX-E5K2 is one very nice machine.
Only thing to watch for is during initial setup is an air pocket in the lines. It's unbeatable in value.

I would get in the notification list for when it comes available as they sell fast

GX Pump PCP Air Compressor | GX CS4 Air Gun Compressors 2023

GX CS4 Portable PCP Air Compressor, 350W Powerful Motor,Max 5800Psi/40Mpa, Water and Fans Cooling, 5 Hours Continous Work, 12V Auto Stop，for PCP Air Rifle Paintball

gxpumpofficial.com

Not as big of an issue with the E5K2, as it has a water flow indicator on the side. Certainly something one should be aware of after flushing and filling the first time, or after using it on its side then going back upright once again. But 2-3 applications of the on/off switch usually corrects the issue.

You could try tightening the valve control knob.

Yeah the whole GX vs manufacturer thing on greasing is a little concerning but I think I'm going to follow their recommendation. Did you notice a little particulate in the cooling reservoir after you used it? Nothing like metal shavings but thinking maybe a little scale if they tested with mineral bearing water at the factory. Only reason why I was thinking about dumping and refilling the coolant.

You should absolutely have dumped any water in it when it arrived. I unhooked the discharge hose that flows into the top of the reservoir, pushed it overboard, and proceeded to run the system for about 3-4 minutes while keeping the reservoir filled with fresh tap water. Then I completely drained the system using air, and refilled with 8:250 (water wetter

W).

I've had the piston apart; for certain, more grease is worse than too little. There is no metal-to-metal contact inside the piston itself, it's all rubber-to-metal. All we really need to do is keep the rubber supple. In fact, GX recommends flushing the grease port with water if one suspects over-greasing.

Mountains / desert of CA. Nearest Walmart is 50 minutes and wouldn't change a thing.

I feel like I’m being talked about…lol definitely been guilty of adjusting things before I knew what they do.

I try not to with the air guns to easy to blow a seal like when you lower your reg pressure with out degassing, not that I’ve done that but would have if I didn’t see it on a video on fx impact. I do read the manuals just in case

Not much help here, but...
In my opinion, the ONLY way to order a Zulus, is WITH the LRF and the built in ballistic calculator!
Once everything is programed correctly, it takes night vision, to another level, even in broad daylight.

I've bought and sold there many times but it's sort of like going to the ghetto to buy tacos. The best tacos but just be street wise!

OP again here. Figured I would reignite this if anyone is interested since it was fun before. Still looking at leaving Montana. I did forget to mention before that a good VA hospital nearby is important. I decided I could bump my budget to about $500,000-550,000. Would like to be no more than 15 minutes outside of a city with 5 or more acres. Not into really far left areas. I don't have much of a filter so better if I ain't aroubd them much.

An important question that gets overlooked is: how much parallax rotation is there from 10 yds to 55 yds. A 90 deg rotation makes your range marks VERY close together on the upper end; a 180+ rotation gives you twice the definition for your range marks on your parallax wheel.
I really like my Hawke sidewinder 30, but it only gives about 90 Deg of rotation so it went on my XFT gun where the ranges are known. My Element
Titan FFP 3-18 with .2 mil hash marks has 180 deg rotation. It makes the 40-55 marks much clearer and I find .1Mil resolution just fine for my holdovers in HFT. Sightron has 180 deg +. Don't know about the Athlons. Maybe an Athlon guy can chime in?

My element titan 3-18x50 moa gets at least 225 degrees rotation from 10 yards to 55 yards

I have three alcoves in my basement, one of which is a gun storage space. I am going to wall it off and put in a locked door this summer. I like the idea of a hidden door. How would one do this, though? (Without resorting to the multi-thousand pref-fab versions.)

oh man... I had no idea those doors started at $1300... I may have to ring up a cabinet building buddy... in fact if I had to guess, hiring out a local cabinet outfit may cost about the same (less if you have more than 1) and probably yield much better results.
