I should have got out earlier. Temp rose quick today.

Headed out tomorrow to shoot some squirrels out of a buddy's mom's chicken pin. We tried his property a few years back and came up empty, may have been because it was hot. Hoping they are more active this time. Just sitting on the deck with a tripod. Maiden voyage for the .22 Dreamtac Compact.

Those water beads got banned from stores around here. Apparently parents can't teach their kids to not eat stuff that is not food.

I marked the top of my jam nut with black marker so when I remove it, I know which side faces up when retightening it. Gets a more consistent result.

Get some vinyle sticker material and run it around your hammer spring quick adjuster. I have some white kind that I stole from the wife's cricket box. I mark it for 18s, 16s and 14s so that I can adjust it down to 880 fps for all three pellets depending on the shooting I plan to do.

Shouldn't be long before they get one and run a bunch of different pellets through it.

Nothing like pulling a back muscle getting off the toilet.

Yup I would check the transfer port on the barrel and use the slug one if you have it. On high transfer setting and 100 bar I am getting 920 fps on max hammer spring setting. I then back the hammer spring down to 880 fps which was C or D, I think. I do have a power plenum but should be plenty...

Well the RPB barrel is a tighter bore than the CZ after slugging them. Could be some of the reason for reduced speed.

Ok so went back at it. 108 bar on the reg 20" CZ barrel shooting JSB 18s at 890 fps. Only switched barrels and 24" RPB barrel only gets 850s with same pellet. The pellet did seat harder with the RPB barrel. I noticed my probe oring was half gone so switched that out and got the same numbers from...

May mess with it some more and see if I can sort it out. Thanks for the responses

He has 25 yards in small print on the photo. Pretty decent for a under $400 gun.

You need regulators on the tanks that will allow high pressure out other wise you can only fill to the 500-800 psi that the paintball tank regulator outputs. It will just equal out once your gun tank matches your paintball tank reg. If you can find a fill adaptor that has no regulation, then you...

Yeah I guess so. I have way too many .22 to add another caliber. Guess it is time to take some pictures and get some classifieds up.

Probably just time to sell all the heavy pellets and slugs to be done with it and stick with 21 gr and under pellets. Most of my shooting is woods walking for squirrels anyways.

There is a screw that comes down from the top at the rear of the reciever that holds the cocking arm. Take that out then tap the pin that holds the linkage to the arm out. Fold the linkage into the probe holder and slide it out the back of the reciever. Part 5 has the info you are looking for.

With my CZ barrel I never got up over 120 bar on the reg and it made plenty of speed for a barrel that is 4" shorter than this one. I just think there is too much volume in the chamber and not enough meat there to direct the air down the barrel where it needs to go. Don't see any other barrels...

Yeah I have a bunch of .22 monsters and NSA slugs laying around that I thought would benefit from this barrel. Going to try and fill some of the void with JB Weld and use silicon tubing to seal off the chamber and mold the transfer port into more of a circle. I can coat the openings with release...

You can use whatever probe you want on the crown. There is a pin probe that is supposed to allow more air to flow than the pellet probe. Probably only a couple of fps difference between the two. Someone may have tested them both when changing nothing but the probes to confirm.
