Could someone tell me how I can date my Pro Sport ? Serial # 131078. I don't know how to determine that. Just trying to establish age of rifle. Thanks.

I just received a RAW HM1000x (.22 caliber, tactical stock) and thought I'd share my first impressions this PCP in case someone else is considering one.

Overall it feels great, solid in the hand with good balance just forward of the trigger. Weight (scoped) is reasonable - heavy enough to be stable without being uncomfortable. Fit and finish is excellent. The magazine fits snugly without being too tight.

I find the grip to be way too small - more suited to a teenager sized hand than an adult man. The length of pull is just over 13 inches at maximum extension which is a bit short for my preference. Not deal breakers but something I need to address.

I've only shot a couple of pellets to check operation, the lever is smooth and positive, trigger is light and crisp. The .22 caliber HM1000x is said the be tuned for 25 grain pellets at 50ish fpe. Haven't shot it over the chronograph (yet) but by the sound and recoil it's putting out a lot of energy.

I like the way the receiver is machined (scalloped) to allow easier hand feeding of projectiles. The safety design is something new to me but I'm sure I'll get used to it quickly.

Overall I'm pleased with the purchase and looking forward to spring and a chance to get some trigger time.

Cheers!

I'm letting go of some of my custom rifles. This one is an extremely accurate Wildcat MKIII Sniper in .30 caliber. It has a Westhunter WHI FFP 6-24x50mm scope and a flip-up red dot reflex. Comes with a bipod, Donnyfl Tanto, a 30 cal mag, fill probe, and factory hard case. The gun is in mint condition. 100% full function and zero issues. Very powerful and laser accurate. It was my bench rest gun so I wanted it to look cool. I had the stock dipped in a Python style snakeskin. It's a very unique and beautiful gun. Feel free to reach out via call or text to Brett Williams-Elite Air Customs at (870) 450-8479. I only accept PayPal payments. Shipping is included in the price. I'm asking $1,600 delivered to your door. (Good's and Services add 5%). Everything in the pictures is included in the sale. Thanks for looking

Recently realized that whenever I get a gun to do exactly what I want it to do my attention very quickly shifts to another which isn’t there yet. Like you get a new rifle and are thinking “ok, I want this thing to do X” and you work on it, tinker, modify and whatnot until it eventually is doing X as if there’s no tomorrow. And then you do the same to the next gun and the next thereafter, until you realize that you haven’t shot the first one in a month. Kinda weird how things work…

I looking to get whatever silicone is used to put a drop or two into the inlet of the gun to lube the o rings. I bought some Super Lube but failed to notice it is the grease, not oil so this isn't something I'd try to get into the cylinder via the fill nipple. Any recommendations on what to get?

Thanks

Ideas that could be the underlying cause of this?

I was shooting CPHPs and tried a 12.5 g slug from a recent NSA order and it degassed on me. So I originally thought maybe it was a combination of low bottle fill w a projectile weight issue and perhaps the power wheel was set too low.

After refilling and shooting just pellets some more it occured again. I hadn't looked at the manometer, but don't think that it was a low fill that time.

I've had big bores dump on me, but that occured at the end of a shot string when I was asking for it. I haven't come up w a pattern yet...this seemed pretty random & I'm just trying to narrow it down.

I'm purchasing another leshiy 2 so this has to go. Very good condition, 1 magazine, moderator is included but scope and rings are not included in the price.

currently shooting 26gr domes at 918fps for 30 shots.

Hey folks,

Will I mess anything up if i shoot a tx200 without having a piston seal installed? kevin

From the "Truth about Guns" definition of "Carbine" -

"In modern usage it seems “carbine” is an acceptable way to refer to any rifle that we consider to be compact, whether or not it has a larger brother. Manufacturers have created and continue to create rifles that are new from the ground up — rifles based really on nothing that previously existed — and brand them as “carbines” right off the bat. It just means they think of it as compact and probably relatively light weight as well."

My version of a..."Carbine".

A shortened Brocock Sniper XR Sahara Performance, .22, with the 300cc air cylinder. A modified, two chamber Huma Mod30 mounted to the shortened shroud.
Yeah, I know that the color is a little off. That may get fixed with possible future modifications.

Overall length -
Original - 32.25"
Mine - 27.68"

Barrel length -
Original - 17"
Mine - 8"

The current shroud length shown in the picture includes a two chamber Huma Mod30, in the total shroud length.



Yes, there was a small change in the pellet point of impact after the barrel shortening, but that was also after removing and replacing the barrel four or five times.
The current configuration, with the sight readjusted, is as consistent as it was before the changes.

HOLA A TODOS, tengo una gran pregunta y necesito consejo. Tengo una Fx Crown MK1 en .177 mm comprada a finales de 2021. Tras su compra se utilizó de forma habitual y posteriormente se guardó en su estuche con su botella cargada a 200 bar. Así lleva casi 2 años. Lo volví a sacar de su estuche y no había aire en la botella. Lo volví a rellenar y para mi sorpresa el regulador no regula. Lo tenía a 110 bar y se puede ver como la presión del regulador va subiendo hasta igualarse a la del tanque de aire. Con un poco de agua jabonosa encontré la fuga, viene de un agujero en el lateral del cuerpo, creo que esta claro que hay que revisar el regulador o cambiarlo por uno nuevo.

Ahora viene la pregunta, cuando me estoy preparando para comprar un regulador nuevo me encuentro que hay dos modelos y no se cual debo comprar, alguien me podría ayudar y decirme cual debo comprar. Adjunto fotografías de los dos modelos de reguladores que hay disponibles y el número de serie de mi rifle. Y ya que me pongo manos a la obra, ¿sería recomendable utilizar el regulador FX original o sustituirlo por el regulador Huma, que parece funcionar mejor? ¿Cuál sería tu recomendación y por qué?






Muchas gracias y espero vuestra ayuda.

This is a quick intro to the new Skout Airguns Epoch Compact version with the optional Lothar Walther barrel. This gun shoots JTS 22.07 and JSB Redesigns (Deep Skirt) the best but also shoots slugs very well. Awesome gun! Full review coming in a few days. Thanks for watching! -Nate

P.S. Triumph TR-7 For Sale!

It seems like interest and dealer stock of FX Crown rifles is becoming less and less. It’s a fine rifle with a lot of capabilities as good as most of these frankenguns FX has since introduced. What’s your thoughts?

I've been using a GX CS 4 for a while now with no problems, it's got 24 hrs. of use on it and still works fine. I ordered a CS 2 and got it today; I wanted something smaller that I can throw in my truck when out hunting. I ran it through a few tests, and it really impressed me for its smaller size. The one thing I noticed is that the fill gauge on it is in PSI instead of MPA. Most of the reviews I've seen on it the only negative was the gauge did not read PSI....I don't know if they recently changed them or not.... but, I'm happy with it...

SKOUT AIRGUNS® is proud to introduce the brand new COMPACT version of the newly updated EPOCH platform.

An extensively milled upper chassis, shorter 17” barrel system, and light weight optics rail allow the COMPACT to shed weight without compromising accuracy. A simplified air valve system, and 300ci compact tank round out the COMPACT’s base 8lb build.This is the airgun you can take anywhere.

Curious what’s everyone seeing at 55y with your WFTF rifle? What size avg groups?
No wind. Just best repeatable accuracy.
WFTF rigs only.
Thanks

I’ll add my recent ones.
RAW HM1000 AA10.3gr 55y.

C88 machining bottle adapter, no instructions or info parts just came in a box. What is the metal shims washers for? They are different thicknesses, are they for clocking the adapter so the valve and gauge can be timed how you like? Also, can a 500cc bottle fill a 500cc bottle? Does the fill bottle have to be higher pressure than the bottle I'm trying to fill?

Not your average Maverick. Benchrest ready out of box

K&L chassis
K&L KLS-3 benchrest buttstock and bagrider
K&L weaver rail ( gets bipod out a bit farther)
Sabertactical adjustable cheek rest
Sabertactical TRS top rail
Sabertactical vertical grip
Custom brass trigger shoe
Donnyfl tanto
700mm Fx 1:40 liner
Carbonfiber liner cover
Larger cocking handle from Fx Panthera
Fx impact shroud with bonded air stripper
300bar 700cc airmarksmen bottle & valve

Rifle was tuned by ken Shapley his magic worked through out the rifle. over 40 hours went into the tune. It can get 70 plus shots with a ES of 7 from a 300bar fill. The shroud has a custom air stripper that is bonded to the donnyfl tanto. Trigger is tuned for tiny first stage and a break weight of 8oz. This rifle can shoot 235 cards if you do your part. Will shoot the Jsb 44.8 on high power wheel setting 960fps will also sling 50gn Aeas as well if not better. It breaks my heart to list this rifle as i love it. But im moving to a new brand for benchrest. To build this rifle you will be well over 3k dollars.

4 mags 3 stock 1 aftermarket

I will consider trades for
Corbin slug press and swages

Raw 22 or 25 caliber in Master piece arms chassis

Epic Airguns Two Tactical Long With Carbon fiber bottle 22 or 25



Scope, rings, brass weights, bipod not part of sale. Will ship in fx hard case.

2000.00 buyer pays actual shipping cost CONUS only i use pirate ship so it won't be crazy.

My feedback is solid buy with confidence

Bought her from zx10wall in the classifieds on Sunday, and she showed up today. It's my first "expensive" PCP in the family. In 4 months I've sure went all in on PCPs. Love the tinkering and being able to shoot daily. First thing I did was pull the barrel off and clean it, then pulled the Zulus off my MA2 and put it on the LCS. I have a 20moa picitinny to picitinny on the way to bring my LRF reticle back into the picture at 20x. Didn't have any issues, put probably 300 rounds thru it. Only used full auto for the video, oh the smile it brought to my face. Shooting FX 16gr for now because it's what I had and it's cheap. 21 rounds sure goes fast in a semi auto. The ease of tuning is an absolute game changer compared to tuning my MA2. Accuracy seems to be very good, was hitting a muffler I've got hanging at 175 yards shot after shot. The pellet pens I bought for my son's PP700 is perfect for loads the magazine. No fiddling and it's able to seat the pellet with the next pellet.

LOOKING FOR A FX KING 600MM GRS STOCK , TRADE FOR HI END SCOPE OR A STYER PROX , 22 CAL OR EVOL 15 INCH , 22 OR EVOL ,30 CAL LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GOT

Looking to buy a Notos that has been worked over a little. Something sub 500$

Any of you trying to convince PB'ing friends to give air power a try should just look at the prices of PB loading components or loaded ammo to make your argument.....then take your buds to the range to shoot air guns.

I put serious BP shooting on the back burner for years and was floored recently when I saw the prices of powder, bullets and primers.

I can't understand why anyone who loves to shoot a lot doesn't consider an air gun, especially with the development of larger caliber/high power PCP's and associated matches that are popping up.

I bought an m10x1 to 1/2-20 adapter from DFL, but the body of the adapter is too short and the space between the shroud & the tube is too little to let any of my moderator screw all the way down. Found a 3D printed 1/2-20 Male to 1/2-20 Female, printed it, and it is too wide for the channel between the tube & the shroud. Broke out Mr. Dremel, narrowed it down and wasn't happy with the result. Found a male-female on BestFittings.com (Brit) and paid through the teeth in shipping but it *should* work. 16mm which is the correct diameter.

Any other options out there? M10x1 to 1/2-20 is the required adapter.

Thanks,
Matt

My phone's been telling me that my storage is full for a few weeks and I've been slowly going through it, trying to clean up old images. In that process I found some images that reminded me that I never shared much about my experience with the Monster Grands last summer.

With most event's scheduling, I don't get many chances to play in the 100 yard benchrest game. BUT, @Martin3528's EFT/EBR event near Williams, AZ last summer gave me that opportunity. In the weeks leading up to that match I spent a bunch of time practicing and comparing set-ups to optimize my chances of doing well. Ultimately I landed on the .22/28.55 Grands as my best option for the benchrest portion of his events.

With the .22/28.55s at 960-965fps I was averaging EBR scores of 225-235 at 100 yards, over the course of 6 or so weeks when I was really shooting a lot. I had a couple cards in the high 230s, but most were in that 225-235 range. This was of course on home court advantage in my backyard, where I feel like I've got a good handle on the wind.

Gun used was a BRK Ghost with the LW 1:30, 5 groove polygonal barrel.

In the competition I was practicing for, the Ghost and the .22/28.55s combined to shoot a 211 and a 218. The 218 from the Grands was the 4th highest of 33 overall cards (all were shot at 100 yards).


In multiple instances of measuring the BCs of the Grands I found them to be in the 0.056-0.062 range, from this particular barrel and at these speeds. So, pretty similar to the 25.4gr Monster RDs.

I also tried them from an RTI 1:32, 6 groove polygonal rifled barrel (RTI's "LR" designation), in the 925-935range. They were good here, but not quite as good as they were from the 1:30 @ 960ish.

With the Grands I did not deal with the prevalent flyer issue seen from most batches of the .22/25.4gr Monster RDs.

The Grands seemed to do best in this particular barrel when lubed with Gunzilla.

Here the images I found on my phone that prompted this post, the 237 is one of the better examples, the other two were pretty typical.




So why DIDN'T the .22/28.55 Grands take off and become a commonly used pellet in the 100 yard product showcase/EBR/RMAC/PA type bench-rest matches?
In my opinion the answer is two fold:

1. The .30 options from the Chinese companies hit shortly thereafter, with BCs in the 0.07+ range, and the ever forward march of progress stepped right past the JSB .22/28.55 Grands.
2. Not everybody had the minimal flyer Grands experience that I enjoy from this particular barrel.

As for why they also don't seem to have been picked up much by the plinkers and hunter and non-competition guys,,,,I think the answer there is squarely because JSB priced themselves out of a lot of sales, (same as they did with the .22/20.83grain Lights). The Grands are some of highest priced small-bore (.22 and under) pellets on the market. Or at least they were the last time I did a market analysis. They're more expensive than the .20 NSA slugs I've been primarily using for my long range/small-bore fun, and so I mostly shoot the .20 NSA slugs when throwing the long bomb.

With my personal hard line in the sand of the power wars not exceeding .22, they offer a slight advantage over the MRDs, mostly in the reduced incidence of flyers. I've been wanting to try the Grands in the pellet class/full monty of one of Ben's Ultimate Field Target matches. It just hasn't happened yet (too many guns, not enough time).

If you're a staunch .22 guy, have a gun with the oomph necessary for 28.44grains, and aren't scared away by the price/shot, the 28.55grain Grands are worth looking into.
