Hey guys i have these Leshiy 2 Ear Regs and one has this little hole at the bottom while the other does not and they are the exact same reg. Is this some kind of factory defect?

I have never in my life been so busy as this summer, which made it near impossible for me to edit shorter pesting sessions. With that said, I put together the majority of pest shots for the summer of 2025.


Enjoy!

Bush buck 45cal.. great gun shoots awesome. It has taken a few deer already.. $1700 PayPal f&f... Hate to let it go but things came up..
(Scope not included)

So my friend got the Himicro Alpex lite, and i just picked up the LRF for my oneleaf NV500 scope.

BUT !

We both run into problems with the damn thing actually working.
We can of course enter all the needed parameters, Checked and triple checked, but outside ( further out ) the zero distance we are both shooting too high VS what the scope suggest.

My friend shoot the 13.43gr KO slugs, and i have been giving the JSB Heavy a spin in lack of Hades pellets.
In my friends case the BC is right there on the tin, but i had to dig a little around in the interweb to find a BC for the JSB pellets ( 0.031 )

I have to admit this is a bit confusing for me, and for my not at all technically inclined M8 more than that.

So we can Zero for 30 M and everything is dandy, but then ranging and shooting to 50 - 55 - 62 M and suddenly our shots land 2 to +5 CM too high.
We have not tried shooting shorter than the zero distance.

PS: We are of course not ranging for something behind our targets, they are all large enough that we are not doing that mistake.
Ands we have verified distances with leupold range finder.

The way i see it my only option are to " tune " the BC until it fit CUZ clearly the scope think my shots drop a lot more than they actually do.


Thoughts ? Hints ?? Wisdom,,,,, much welcome.

LNIB Snowpeak M25 .357 rifle, tags stills on it but it does appear to be missing the thread protector. Comes with 2 mags and the OEM seal kit and is currently shooting JSB 81gr pellets @810fps for 1 mag per fill.
Asking $275 shipped CONUS

Usually the fully charged gun is capable of shooting two mags and still stay in green zone of tank pressure gauge. But if you continue shooting and let the pressure drop below the certain value (just a bit into yellow zone) the gun releases all remaining air. Is that normal/typical for this gun, Hatsan or any unregulated PCP? I don't have other PCP guns without regulator, and I never shot them out below the regulator pressure.

Nice lightly used Snowpeak/SPA M50 semi auto in .25 cal with folding stock. Got it in a trade, funtion tested it and did some plinking with it and it's a fun little rifle but I'm emptying out my stable to make room. Comes with it's OEM spare seals kit, fill probe and 1 mag, functions well and is shooting AA 25.4gr @840fps for about 24 shots per fill. Asking $300 shipped CONUS (scope and mounts not included)

The dreadful Impact leak issue has happened to me now.

After seeing the pressure slowly dropping and tank emptied, I tried to investigate and found out where the leak was. At least this was what I found thus far.

Air was coming out from the hole behind the trigger lock as shown in the picture.

Anyone has any ideal on how to access and fix this?

Much appreciated.

Had about 45 minutes available this morning so took advantage of that and got a few pdogs. Wind was supposed to kick up at any point so I took my slugger, the .20 Ghost.

Ended up with a total around 25.

The farthest was 230ish yards. Needed 13 mils of holdover, dialed 5 in to the scope, and held over for the other 8. Got a couple others in the 190-220 yard range. These farthest dogs were taken with slugs of course.

Somewhere around 100-110 yards and less and I was grabbing the .20/15.89 pellets instead of the slugs. So this morning's pdogs were taken with a mix of .20/18.9grain NSAs, and the JSB .20/15.89s.

These six were all pretty close together for photo op, in the 90-120yard range.




Of all the many guns I've used to take prairie dogs over the years, this .20 Ghost gives them the least sporting chance at still being alive when I call it a day.

I took home four great additions today for not much more than a song. Not able to test the Crosman 114 until I get a tank. The Benjamin 347 holds air and functions, the Crosman 66 operates great. The Shanghai Model 62 was my primary target because it was just listed as a break barrel rifle. It took a magnifying glass to figure it out after I took the scope off. Shoots like a rockstar! Sure glad I'm retired and have plenty of time to work on these.

My collection of PCP rifles has taken many turns over the years. Starting with a Hatsan AT44 Tactical in .25 back in 2006. I’ve done numerous disco conversions, had a BT65 that was putting out just a hair over 100FPE in .25 cal then came my first high end rifle. An FX impact MK2 in .22 cal. Meanwhile the collection grew and shrank , I continued modifying , caliber swaps , valve mods and a few valves made from scratch. Now I’ve got just about all my bases covered through 5 different calibers as I mostly shoot paper throughout the year but do hunt small game during the fall. My latest rifle is still on the bench as I’m waiting for one final component to get it finished off. I don’t usually post about what I have in stock but I’m pretty pleased with what I’ve accumulated over the years . Here’s the list top to bottom .
Winchester 70-35 ( .257 cal conversion) 140 fpe
Rapid MKII .25 cal 65 fpe
AAA Paradigm .22 cal 50 fpe
Evanix K550 .224 slug shooter 60 fpe
HW100 .22 cal 30 fpe
Missing bench gun
HW100 .177 cal 18 fpe
RWS850 .177 cal 12 fpe

There are two missing from the pic , a .257 discovery which is a never ending project and a Leshiy 2 in you guessed it my favorite caliber .25. The last stays in the case ready for the truck as hunting season is fast approaching. Do I have too many, yes more than likely. Do I shoot them as often as I probably should , no but that’s going to change now that I’ve got my own 100 yard range.
What’s the last missing one on the bench you ask. Well it’s yet another HW100 , this time in .20 caliber . I just had to have one in each caliber , only not available here in Canada so I gathered the parts to make one.

would a pee sight be ok on a hw50 for hft shooting and for rabbits?

I did this build yesterday... it turned out great !

Why did I pull apart a good shooting Cayden? It always seemed too loud for the power level that I was shooting it at - due to unshrouded barrel. It was very moderator picky and only liked one particular moderator that wasn't very effective a reducing the bark.

I had a refurb .177 Akela that I had not shot yet. I measured the barrels and the 4 inch longer Cayden barrel fits under the stock Akela shroud - once you discard the baffles and spring. It fits using both the Akela air stripper (to keep Cayden barrel centered in shroud) and with the DonnyFL moderator adapter for the Akela - which extends into the shroud a bit due to replacement "baffe" in its design.

I'm using a stock Benjamin hammer spring - cut to 2.68". I guessed and turned in the hammer spring exactly 1 turn - and using my fill pressure of 2,600 psi, I was immediately at 880fps with AEA 15.9g (barrel when on Cayden liked AEA 15.9s). Lucky guess on setting the hammer spring, but I'd rather be lucky than good when anxious to try shooting a new build.

.22 Akela "HP" or is it a "Caydela" is now VERY quiet shooting 15.9g @ 880-890fps - using only 2 sections of a Huma Mod30.

It immediately shot a 1/4 inch c-t-c 5-shot group at 30 yards. Took one shot to adjust scope. Then fired shots 7 to 26 at this 30-Masters card and shot 198 !! Dang - thats an unregulated "budget" rifle. If you are shooting 30-Masters cards with a $2,000 air rifle you know that 198 is a darn good score.

Thought I'd share the details (more info on pictures) with this community - as some folks with .22 Akelas may want to try the longer barrel from a Cayden if they are seeking more power or a milder tune.

Stay tuned for a .177 Cayden in the future, lol.

I know I have talked about this some before as it was all transpiring. And I was getting advice and guidance from the forum. But I think this is amazing and it is finally coming to an end.

I bought a fantastic modified Air Arms HFT-500 with a regulator. I love it . One night I went to say good night and the gauge on the fill probe was reading zero. I did not have a compressor or a tank just a hand pump. So I tried to pump it up and it would not hold air at all. After fooling around I found air coming out of a tiny hole in the air tube. I did not know anything about this gun. And being used and modified and living in Iowa there is no one that can help. The forum was helpful. But the problem was to hidden at the time.

I replaced all the O rings in the regulator and put it all together but still could not get it to hold any air. I have everything apart and I studied the diagrams and was able to find the air was bypassing the firing valve. It is held in place by a spring. I did not understand that the spring does not hold the valve closed. It holds it in place and air pressure holds the valve closed and sealed. LESSON ONE.

So i ordered a whole new block and valve seat.

It was still leaking out of the transfer port. What I did not understand was the hand pump cannot provide enough volume to push the valve shut. So I bought a compressor and after a lot of fiddle I got it to seal and shoot and everything was OK. Except ever since I had the gun it would only hold 2800 psi. If I filled it to 3000 or more it would go to 2800 and then hold that for weeks. I thought it was a feature of the regulator or something.

But to tune the gun I needed to drain and refill the whole thing and it was still leaking past the valve and difficult to fill when it’s empty.

LESSON TWO
You need a big rush of air from a strong compressor or a tank to shut the valve. The regulator blocks the air and that little compressor won’t do it. So I get a big compressor and a tank. Problem solved. The tank will fill it right up. And the gun is amazing. Then one night I go to say good night to it and the gauge is empty.

I take everything apart and after very careful investigation I find air is leaking from the fill probe in the quick fill unit. So I take it apart and find a screw with a scratch in it.

The screw holds an o ring that acts like a one way valve. Air can go in but not out. So the scratch would let out any air above 2800 psi. But when it gets cold it would let out all the air. The first time this happened the regulator moved forward exposing the vent hole. That was the original cause and effect that led me to replace the firing block and buy two compressors and a carbon fiber tank.

But it gets better. Before I figured out the problem and discovered the screw damage I ordered a new quick fill gauge from Apex . They shipped it out right away and FedEx lost it right away . Gone

So I called them and they were very sorry and said they would ship out a new replacement right away. But I am a motorcycle racer and can’t stand not to have back up parts. So I ordered a new air tube an Apex regulator with a debounce kit and hammer spring and proper transfer port drill the works. So now the whole air delivery system will be brand new. All because of a scratched screw.

Now I know about this gun and have no reservations about traveling to a competition and being able to address any problems that could arise.

I know it sounds like a silly question but what could happen if I transport an air tank that is not DOT approved? The tank is brand new and in perfect condition, and it's solid as a rock. Are there getting in trouble with the law implications? Can the tank blow up because of vibrations or whatever during transport? I really have no idea. Thanks for the help!

Please help me to choose between FX leopard or rti mora .22 . It’s totally doing my head in

So what are the benefits? Stiffness? Protection? Quietness?

One could remove the shroud and wrap the barrel with carbon fiber, use a larger diameter barrel, or press fit an aluminum sleeve.

Hello. I already have a compact Uragan 3 .22 but I'm wondering now whether to buy a longer version of the .25 with a 600 or 700 barrel. There are few tests and people probably don't say much about them. If you have .25 and you can share your opinion about the accuracy and what performance it generates with different values of the regulator, I will be very grateful. I think it's not just me who will find it useful when choosing. Greetings

I was checking out the Karma red Panda and saw two different versions.

I did a search in here and the only difference I could find was two different tunes for the same guns. This was confirme by Utah AG

But then this video from pellet shop:


Different barrel setup, bag rider etc

So was it something that changed later on and now they offer only one barrel with different tune?

i don’t understand how digital zooming works but.. what is preventing dnt from releasing an update that gives the option of 2-12x or 4-16x or 4-20x for the 5-20x zulus v2? since its digital and not fixed glass, it should be possible right?
