    Air Venturi Avenge-X with Custom Barrel

    Picked up this avenge x a while ago... awesome rifle for the price but it has some things that bother me so... on to the mods! The overall length of the bullpup avengex is pretty short... on top of that several inches of the stock barrel is the moderator. It was begging for some more...

    "No airguns allowed here"

    Ever been to a shooting range that didn't allow your air gun? I went to a new range yesterday since my local club is closed on holidays. Went in, asked a few questions, filled out the waiver, paid the cashier. Then I dropped the question... " Figured I should mention this since some places get...

    How long is too long?

    She said: no such thing. But in all seriousness, what is the point of diminishing returns on velocity and energy for barrel length?

    Adding dessicant to tuxing compressor

    I've had an idea for a while to add a dessicant trap between stages on my tuxing compressor. First I'm wondering if anyone has measured the pressure between these stages. The bowl I have is labeled up to 250psi. Figured I'd ask before I start disassembling those fittings as they seem to be...

    AEA Challenger Elite 51 Project

    There's a long story that goes along with this rifle... here's the short version. I picked up the challenger elite 51 back in January. Since then I've had nothing but severe accuracy problems. Many ammo types were keyholing and wouldn't consistently hit a 12"x18" target from 50yds. Some ammo...

    Western Airguns Rattler 357 and 45

    Anyone have some concrete info on the new rattler 45? I ask because I have a deposit down on a 357 and just found out the 45 is coming.... would be a total bummer if I buy the 357 and the 45 makes more energy and similar shot count. Side question: any idea if there's a way to make the rattler...

    AEA HP SS Max 357 Project

    The HP SS Max 357 was my first pcp. That snowballed real quick into a bunch more, but still a relatively cheap, fun and powerful option. That said it could be a lot better in a lot of ways. This thread is to share my tweaks, addons and improvements. The biggest annoyance with this rifle is the...

    So I slugged a barrel...

    Aea challenger elite .51 came in at .514 Explains why most ammo is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway, and why some ammo zings toward the 18"x12" target 50yds away and can't stay on the paper. What's a guy to do? Request a new barrel? Find someone that can size to .514?

    DOT vs Non-DOT Tanks

    I've been browsing and see a lot of non DOT tanks for cheap like the tuxing and acecare brands. Has anyone compared them side by side with DOT tanks? The tank I have right now is an air venturi 9L made by Eaton. The brand and certification was enough to ease my mind of any and all safety...
