When you get into slug shooting in a large part it is about harmonics. You also need to have the right twist rate and power to get the fps above 900 to get good results for the most part. Most people adjust the harmonics by adjust the velocity in smaller increments of 5 to 20 fps. to get the...

Another thought I had was the aspect of on the rifle magazine storage. I know AGT makes that long vertical AR style magazine add on. I personally don'tlike the way it sticks down so much. I have a 3d printer and was thinking to design a mag holder that holds two to three mag in a horizontal...

Thanks for checking that for me. It was just a thought for making the aspect of tuning the rifle a little more precise and repeatable. The idea of that and having a scale for hammer adjustments would sure make for easier tuning of the Vixen. AGT are you listening?

Thanks for your input too. There is not a lot of information on YouTube and other places on working on the AGT Vixen. I know everyone wants their airguns to be mouse fart quiet. It would be nice to see some decibel reading before and after for some sound suppression designs. I do myself have a...

Thanks for the reply. As you said the AGT regulators have a good reputation for consistency. I have tried to find the parts list for the Vixen to see if they list the plug thread size. I know the owners manual shows the part schematic but I can't find a download of the picture. It looks like in...

I got an AGT Vixen Long in .177 caliber on the way. I like the idea of adding very light weight and compact pester rifle to my arsenal. Plus I am thinking about going to Florida to do some iguana shooting and this rifles lower power, light weight and shot count looks to be a good match for the...

Thanks for the response. Looks like you got around 40 shots before you came off the regulator which is very good for 700 plus fps. I guess you did not adjust your regulator but did you turn your hammer spring adjuster to minimum and what type and spec compression spring did you use. Thanks Bill

I'm considering getting the Notos for one of my farmers to use to eliminate sparrows and starlings that crap on him and his equipment in his shop building. One problem in shooting in this building is not shooting through the tin sides. Even with my lower power airguns I try to get some wood...

I have to say from my experience your result on the squirrel is the exception not the rule. I have shot a lot of different slugs into calibrated ballistic gel and the results are the same when shooting into the flesh of light body pests and game like pigeons and squirrels. And as far as getting...

Edgun West just put out this low power adjustment video. Like for 12 fpe set-ups. It seems in the video if you want to go with a low regulator pressure of 60 bar you would need to use two of the smaller 0.20 jets in order to get more air to the valve for the rifle to function at such a low...

Yes reading the best configuration information on the EdgunLeshiyShop site regarding the power jets is what you describe to find out the maximum power/energy potential for a given regulator pressure. They say to use a pair on the smallest jet at 0.1 diameter. What I am wanting to achieve is the...

You may be right about the H&N FTT not being the best for longer ranges maybe because of their light weight and b.c. I also tried JSB 25.4 grain, H&N Hunters, Baracudas, AA 25.4's and JSB Hades and at 50 yards the groups ranges from 1 1/2" to 2 1/2 ". Maybe pushing them in the 750 fps to 780...

I got my Leshiy 2 Sparrow model in .25 caliber with 250 mm barrel and 300 cc bottle about a month ago. My use will be for short range pesting out to 50 yards. I have been shooting various pellet for groups and accuracy but wanted to use the H&N FTT.25 at 20 grains to maintain a flatter...

Yes you can get a compressor to fill your air tank but I hope you realize we are talking about high pressure compressors not the ones you use to fill tires and run air tools. Some people try to use scuba tanks that fill to only 3000 psi or some that can be filled to 3500 psi but those will not...

As others have mentioned the variables like pellet weight, velocity, zero range used and very important too is the scope height above the rifle bore all will effect your point blank range and holdovers and unders. I have found Chairgun to be very good for showing you what your rifle with all the...
