Hi folks,
My first post here as a guy transitioning to air propulsion from powder. A result of being under the influence of YouTube videos showing the tremendously popular undertaking of night time, air gun rat shooting in europe. I had no idea that such a thing, was, well, a thing!

Under that spell, I bought myself an Umarex Gauntlet G1 in 25 cal and installed a $1,300 thermal scope to experience my own thrill in this. With the right pellets, I have no problem putting five rounds inside of a dime at 50 yards. I've shot too many field mice to count now at night out as far as 55 yards off of a set of bipod version, Primos Trigger Sticks.

Following the learning curve of thousands and thousands before me, I've come to realize that hand pumps have to have precarious maintenance to avoid driving moisture into the workings of the rifle. I've finally come to the point where my air fill port is leaking because it has corroded enough from resident moisture I didn't know it was accumulating there. Not hard to associate, but this revelation occurred after spending a week on the Atlantic coast shooting mice... i.e. high humidity tainted with corrosive salts.

I've tried to find a fill Port replacement that meets the dimensions of the one I have that came with the rifle. It is 0.370" OD, or 3/8" diameter and looks to be a standard 3/8 TPI pattern, not a UNF or NPT or somesuch. I'm not home right now to put a thread pitch gauge on it, otherwise I would provide that.

8 mm is too small, 10 mm and 3/8 NPT are too big. Can anyone inform me what thread pattern this is and where I might find a fill port that has it?

My thanks for any help the forum Community is willing to offer.

Does the Hastan Jet 2 have a pressure bleed screw? I bought a refurb jet 1 and then also the dual cylinders during the NRA 20% off sale. The jet one didn't leak but when I installed the dual cylinders it started losing about 80 bar/day, then more slowly as the pressure decreased. Hatsan wants me to just send it back for repair, but does anyone on the forum know how to bleed the cylinders so I can uninstall/reinstall? Any tips on the install, or guesses on why it's leaking? I mean other than the popular "it's leaking 'cause it's a Hatsan."

Is this air compressor good for the altaros booster pump I'm filling a 45min scba tank and a small guppy tank I'm not insanely worried on fill times

Hey fellow AGN members,
I am a long time Crown .25 pellet shooter and after my uncle gifted me with an Express, I want to start shooting slugs. First and foremost, I am a hunter and part time home range shooter. I haven't a clue what I am doing tuning for slugs. Uncle had it set @150 BAR. He had the Macro wheel set way up. I took that back to the 13 recommended setting. for starting. Been tinkering with various weights and brands of slugs. I would like input from you all on your favorite slug and settings. I would like also like two to three clips or more worth of shooting. This platform is heavy enough taking even a pony tank of air is not feasible for a long walkabout in the field or woods. I know how accurate my crown is with pellets. @ 50 yards shoot a single ragged hole. I know slugs are better suited for longer ranges but can I expect the same with slugs? Thanks,

Marty

Im thinking about buying the gx cs4 for filling my 45 min SCBA tank and a my small guppy tank what's y'all's thoughts on them?.

I decided to look around and see if I could find this "social feed" that has been brought up.

Went to the help page, which was no help.

Went to the resource section, which was empty except for a bunch of dislikes and sad faces.

What good is it to be told to put things there when it can't be found? Again, just curious.

I bought a yong heng compressor and was using it to fill a 68ci 4500psi ninja paintball/airsoft tank. After I shut off the compressor it makes a leaking noise until I unplug the tank and when I unplug the tank the disconnect is very stiff and makes a really loud pop, the compressor reads 3000psi but only filled the tank to around 1000. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Also the tank is new too so I’m not sure if there’s something I was supposed to do to the tank before filling it or not. The only thing I really did to the compressor is tighten some fitting and apply Teflon tape to the air output fitting.

Hi, my name is Joselito, I from to Brazil.

I was doing some tests with slugs with 3 types of skirt, concave, straight and diahbase, but so far I haven't reached an exact conclusion regarding what really changes depending on the skirt.

Can someone explain to me in a more technical way if there is any change and what effects each skirt provides.

. . . so I bought an Eaglevision "All in one – Muzzle Brake, Air Stripper & Harmonic Barrel Tuner" - this thing:


It won't be in for probably a week or so but now I find myself asking ( and don't laugh! ) - " . . . are you supposed to connect this thing ~directly~ to the barrel, or will it just be an add-on toy at the end of the shroud like a typical moderator is?"

I don't even know what gun I'm going to try / test it out on yet - but yeah - that question above. Do any of you guys in here use one (or something similar)? Do you have it directly threaded to the end of the barrel or is it in fact hanging off the end of the shroud? Just curious.

New to the forum and just getting back into airguns. I got a few guns and am looking to rehome one or two to get myself back into the hobby. Any advice/info on anything I should know being new to the forum would be great.
I'm in Linn county Oregon

Good afternoon,

I am having trouble locating the proper scope rail for my elderly friends Slavia Model 618. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi is there anybody out there that could possibly help me out with understanding why when I start filling my gun air leaks out the barrel? And Ive done it while I have it cocked as well.

when I have the lever back air shoots out the mag well side as well as the front of barrel.

O rings seem to be all in I did have a problem with my valve pin but I epoxyd and taped my valve pin back together and it seems to be working as it sould I just can't get a fill.

When I turn my power adjuster down (jts airicuda standard) the air seems to move slower thru the barrel. It's almost like the air is just passing right thru the gun how can that be? Anyone?

Is it allowed to post in rifles for sale. I am not a salesman. Just may sell one or two of my PCP rifles

In Knoxville Tennessee for a couple days anyone know of a good air gun dealer?

Hello guys,
I just bought a new revere .177 from aoa,
And after first tank I realized the sound of the rifle changed,
Upon inspection a portion of o-ring that holds the transfer port in place was sticking out just under the barrel breach port!!!
Called Aoa and they said it happens after every 600 or shots!!!
They are sending me some spare o-rings and if that won’t work,
I can send the rifle back to Aoa,
Now my question to all u guys who use these pcp’s
Since this is my first ever pcp,
Why manufacturer has this portion shaved off at the entrance bottom part of the barrel port which is letting the o-ring slip out under pressure???

I own a sidewinder compact in .25 cal got it new about 3 months ago and the magazine locking pin is really stiff even with the magazine removed and no tension on it its still stiff when you lock it to the rear. Is there a fix to make it a bit easier and smoother to manipulate?

I am just wondering what everyone is having success shooting through the Gauntlet 2. So far mine like the JSB jumbo monster redesigned in 25.39. I am wanting some slugs to shoot and look for feedback on what success y'all having!!

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to purchase an Acecare 9L tank from Alibaba and equip it with the HP3 Omega valve. I also want to add a 2-meter swiveling kit connection hose from Best Fittings. I'll include pictures at the end for reference.

Main Concern​

The HP3 valve comes with a male nipple for filling the tank and connecting the hose. However, the Best Fittings swiveling kit features a "BEST Fittings 1/8″ BSP Snap Connector" designed to fit an existing 1/8″ BSP DIN cylinder outlet.

Question​

If I remove the male nipple from the HP3 valve, will the outlet fit the snap connector from Best Fittings?

Additionally, my local air filling shop uses either a female or male DIN 300 outlet. Best Fittings offers a 300 BAR DIN Female to BEST Fittings Quick Coupler Socket, which I plan to connect to the end of the hose if I can install the kit.

Also, what is the purpose and size thread of the 7.5k screw in the valve? can this also be used with a hose/kit?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Has anyone swapped out their OEM bottle on their AEA SF version for carbon fiber bottle? If so, pics and where can I get the adapter please?

Hello everyone!
i would like to know about type of glass and prisam used in side shoot scop mount?

Does it matter what pressure I set the tethered pressure at on my RAW HM1000x? I am guessing the bottle reg is set to 140-150 bar on my .25 cal so can I set any pressure above that or will there be a tuning difference with different pressures? The way I am looking at it is the tethered tank is basically just extending the tank on the rifle so as long as the pressure is above the reg pressure on the rifle there should be no difference.

I just purchased a Hatsan Mod 130s vortex .30 cal
Can anyone recommend a lower profile cheek riser?

Today I was shooting my new Wildcat MkIII bt vp and had what seems to be some sort of major malfunction. I was casually shooting some different types of ammo to see which one my gun likes the best. I have maybe 300 rounds through it total since I got it last week. Today I got about 100 rounds through it, then refilled to try out the FX 50 gr diabolo pellets. I shot about 9 through it. They were grouping very nicely at 50 yards. Then I chambered a new pellet, aimed at my target, and fired. The round flew high and right about 5 inches from the previous group and the shot made a slightly different sound than usual. I also felt a small puff of air on my cheek. When I went to cock the gun again, the charging lever will neither come back fully, nor go forward fully, and the mag seems to be jammed in the gun. I have not touched it since, as I don't want to do anything that would void the warranty. I will also note that I have never fooled with either of the regulators, as I just got it and was trying to find the best ammo for it before I toyed with any tuning. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on here???

Anybody leave their Gamo mags loaded ?
And has anybody had any problems in doing so?

This is a question for you machinists and fabricators out there. Can this be re soldered or could I replace this copper line by soldering a new one into the existing fittings. The close up shows where I cracked the line taking the gun apart. It’s going to be a pain to try to get a new assembly from fx in Sweden and hope it survives shipping unscathed and fits a 10 year old gun properly. I was told by a dealer that it’s probably time for a new gun, because even if I get it all back together it won’t be the same as it was.
