N/A  Suggestions on first PCP, small game hunting, and having fun.

Prefer a semi-auto, compact as possible, and quiet with a moderator. The new homes near the farm are roughly 35 yards away, and our property moves away from them. I have been compiling a list of ones to consider. Will shoot for fun as well, but many small pests are showing up. We are settled in a valley by a river and get constant breezes to strong winds. I have been watching videos for almost a month, trying to find the decibel readings, but getting an idea is challenging. I lean towards the sidewinder mini, but users' reports have me wondering whether the new neighbors will complain. Huben K1 seems to be considered generally quiet. Will also be shooting at our house during the night. I prefer the sidewinder, but if anyone with experience believes it would be an issue, I would like feedback on what would meet my needs.

Plan to carry the tractor as well when working:

Skout  Epoch .177 pellet loading?

Anyone had problems with certain pellets being hard to load? I mainly use Barracuda 8s and JSB Heavies and until recently I have had no problems with either but all of a sudden the 8s are very notchy and hard to load, the only thing that I have done different is to change the pellet probe O rings and yes they are the correct size and there is little chance of getting the alignment wrong with the mounting and no I haven't used too much force, and It's also not any looser than intended, yet the JSB heavies have no problems, and they are pretty much the same dimensions.

STUD Launches Complete FX DRS Magazine Loading System, Solving Longstanding User Frustrations

The industry’s leading aftermarket airgun accessory provider delivers a game-changing solution for FX DRS magazine loading.

STUD, the largest aftermarket supplier of premium airgun loading systems, is proud to announce the release of its new FX DRS Magazine, Feeder, and Loader system. This complete solution is purpose-built to address one of the most persistent complaints from the airgun community: the difficult and awkward loading process of factory FX DRS magazines.

Developed in direct response to user feedback, the STUD system completely reimagines the loading experience. The newly designed STUD magazine features a proprietary magnetic lid, offering quick removal and full access to the front of the magazine—eliminating the obstructions caused by the factory’s rotating locking mechanism. As with all STUD magazines, it also includes a precision roller bearing for smooth rotor rotation and accurate pellet-to-barrel alignment.

For maximum convenience, STUD’s industry-leading Feeder and Loader are available as part of a bundled system. This streamlined setup allows users to sort pellets using the Feeder, transfer them into one of four included Loaders, and quickly fill magazines with minimal handling—ensuring speed, consistency, and cleaner loading.

“This system was built in direct response to what our customers told us they needed,” said Doug Hepler, CEO at STUD. “It eliminates the frustrations of the factory design and delivers a fast, precise, and hassle-free loading experience. We believe it sets a new standard for FX DRS users.”

The STUD FX DRS Magazine/Feeder/Loader bundle is now available for purchase via STUD’s official website and authorized distributors.

Tomorrow i'll try to shoot and find out how it is :)

At first glance - a lot of improvements !

btw.. the gun is quiet but with extra DonnyFL Ronin moderator bacames allmost silent ;)

Kral Arms  Bighorn .357 with 28" barrel

Added the barrel from a Benjamin Bulldog. Lots of inside work on the valve and ports.
Pushing the 145gr Nozler slugs at near 900fps. She's ready for a new shroud and will likely get a 700cc CF bottle to extend the shotcount and maybe squeak out a few more fpe.

Other  Falke 80/90 sight substitute

Falke 80 and 90 sights are difficult to find, the dovetail being very narrow. Here's an early Redfield peep sight that works, very well machined in steel, similar in quality to the Falke originals, and maybe the sight Williams copied in aluminum for their FP series? This little guy will fit the Falke dovetail.

Temecula Field Target Report 2025 04 27

Big sky day in Temecula with seven shooters. Started with light drizzle for 15 minutes then cleared out for some fantastic views while shooting. Eleven lanes with 27 targets went smoothly. Temecula signature winds came in gusts and changing directions making the challenge even better. Big welcome to new shooter Nick Oldin.

My fx m3 and the random trip to home depot

Soo,in my other thread about my fx m3 and the stripped power block hole that made me disgusted and I stopped shooting for a year or so,let me tell you a little story about today.
I was mowing the yard and noticed that a shingle on the roof was in need of repair so I decided I would run to the Home Depot and get me some sealer for the roof to tack the shingle down better.I jumped in the car and off I went, while I was looking for sealer I passed the nuts and bolts isle and I thought to myself wouldn't it be funny if the power block wasn't stripped but rather the socket head bolt was the issue.I used my phone while standing in front of the nuts and bolts cases to find a schematic of the m3 for the bolt size ,m3x8 if I remember correctly and I purchased a 3 pack of them!
I finally got back to the house ,got the m3 back out and guess what?,the new bolt threaded right up without issue!!!
I just sort of stared at it in disbelief, the wife asked me if it fixed it and all I could say was(I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT)!
LOL so here it's been a year or so being upset over something that was actually nothing but a faulty bolt but it had me thinking I screwed up a 2k plus airgun.
The old bolts thread width was narrow compared to the new bolt,like it was a m2 or 2.5 and not a true m3 if that makes any sense? Lol.
I now feel better but at the same time ashamed that I didn't see the issue over a year ago,lol live and learn.

Compressors  WTS Omega Turbo Charger

Up for sale is my Omega Turbo Charger. I’ve slowed down a bit on the Airgun hobby and have way too many compressors (4). So up for sale is the Turbo Charger. Compressor is super heavy but it’s really fast due to its dual cylinder design.
This unit was manufactured in 2021 purchased in 2022 and only has 10 hours of use.

Would love to sell locally in the Dallas TX area but I’m sure some shipping can be arranged.

1500.00 PayPal F&F will seal the deal. If you want it shipped we’ll have to see the shipping charges first.

602-489-8828 for immediate response.

Not cherry picking a single unicorn target

Took my Thomas HPX to the range today to check my zero before tomorrow’s N50 match. The weather forecast for tomorrow is going to be pretty windy so I wanted to zero a heavier pellet. I normally shoot 25.4 MRDs but when it’s windy sometimes I opt for heavier 28 grain Grands. Is shot a few sighters with MRDs and even tried 34 Jumbo’s but my gun certainly doesn’t like those so I went back to Grands. The last bull is 5 Grands @ 50 yards.

FX  Is polishing required? - New Brass FX impact regulator plunger

First time with a leak in my Impact MKII PP 720 so decided to replace the piston while it was apart rather than polish the old delrin one. Got one from cape fear and was expecting the part to be plug and play but doesnt appear to be.

I test fit it. once the face clears the oring it seems to drag (metal on metal) in the reg body. the plastic one is smooth on the barrel at the edge/face. this one is not..
plastic is 4.0mm at the tip brass is 4.02. measured with origincal digital caliper
The issue is noticeable on pictures. small dings on the edge

Not thinking its good to put it in without doing some sanding polishing but concerned about messing up overall diameter or damaging the delrin piece if i try to cleanup the face.

Also, not 100% sure what the sealing surfaces are and if the dings are important.. the barrel will seal on the oring in the reg body and the face will never touch it once installed.

Suggestions and experiences are appreciated.
thanks
Bob

PCP Rifle  SOLD Huben K1, Synthetic Stock, .22 cal, $1,025

*** SOLD***

I have an unusual (and expensive) personal relationship with Huben K1's. I buy them, shoot them, sell them for a loss, miss them, and re-buy them. Lather-Rinse-Repeat.

So I'm at the 'sell at a loss' stage with my current K1, which I bought used off the AGN classifieds. Synthetic stocked model in .22 cal. This is my favorite caliber for the K1's as you can be lazy but still stay on target as the .22 has almost none of the semi-auto muzzle flip as compared to the larger caliber guns.

I never needed to make any reg adjustments on this gun, as it shot fantastic with just changing the power wheel. Best accuracies I found were: +18 clicks gets you 897 fps from 18.13's, and +24 clicks gets you 935 fps with the 25.39's. And if you are a hunter, +18 clicks gave me 921 fps with Hades/Atomic 15.89 hollow points (my notes say "higher ES but excellent (best) accuracy" with this weight pellet).

Gun is in great cosmetic condition and never any issues with it. Comes with fill probe, OEM + 3D printed loading gate (installed), instructions, front sling stud/Pic rail, muzzle thread protector, OEM box and any spare parts I received when I bought it. All shown in the pics.

$1,025 paid via PP F&F, including CONUS shipping.

First "I'll take it" wins.

Thanks,
Tom
