Does anyone know of someone in the Buffalo, New York area who repairs PCP pellet rifles?

They have several new rifles coming out ..... Supposedly...but right now it been crickets...the rifles coming out is the JTS ThunderLance Pro.....JTS Shawlawk......and of the course the JTS StealthHawk.....
With Barra releasing the 250z I don't think JTS should have any issues with that FX patent issue and besides these are Snowpeak M30 rifles remake over a little. If anyone called and asked please let us know...or if anyone from JTS is reading the forums let us know if there is a releasing date....thanks...

Ok, lets try this again...Kral .22cal synthetic stock bull pup. UTG 3-9x32 scope, two mags, fill probe, LDC, single shot tray, threaded shroud adapter for LDC. Extremely accurate with 21gr pellets. Holds air and functions great. Free shipping to lower 48. $325.

Order placed Monday morning. Two items in stock. Thursday night still processing

Items shipped this morning (friday)

Hey All,

Posted this yesterday and then changed my mind but no sense letting it just sit so…..

Bought this a week or so ago thinking I was going to be mister slug shooter and while this gun is PHENOMENAL at that, I am just not a slug guy, no matter how much I think I want to be….

This is a custom .22 Kalibr Cricket 60 (long). This was donated for an EBR prize a couple years back.

Has a custom 700mm (stock are 600) 17.7 twist, 12 groove, no choke barrel which is a great combo for anyone wanting a solid .22 slug shooter.

I am shooting 18.13 currently at 900 FPS on a reg pressure of around 120 bar for a ton of shots. This gun can easily be tuned to shoot the mid weight .22 slugs and really what it was designed to do. I have shot the 20.2 Daystate Howlers and they are outstanding (pic below of 2 7 shot groups at 33 yards).

Has a custom paint job and wood grips as well.

Comes with 2 magazines and fill probe.

Say 975.00 and we can split the shipping….

PayPal for pmt.

I think I have posted that I stepped into the CO2 world a short time ago.
Having a great time with the Clone shooting in my garage.
Sooooo stopped off at the local drug store/sporting goods/kitchen goods/clothing store etc etc to buy some 177 pellets. Found tins of Crossman premiers 7.9 gr for about $14.00 and grabbed a tin. When I got to the register they asked for my ID. “What for?“ I asked. For the pellets. Are you kidding me? Carded for a tin of pellets?!?!?!

Is this normal?

Since other platforms where I've been posting my experience have character count restrictions, I decided AGN would be a good place to compile my day-to-day experiences at the Worlds last week. So this will be the full recap, versus the parsed down version I have been posting on my socials.
-
This was my 6th Worlds, but it’s been a few years since I’ve gone and after the season I’ve had, my expectations were pretty high. I had set two goals for myself going in:
1) Earn the WFTF Master patch, meaning my score is within 92.5% of the high score
2) Finish the event as the top US shooter.
-
I traveled with a small group from Ohio. Four of us left Cleveland early Monday morning, arriving in Arizona mid-morning. Ted, Keith, Jeff and I were the first to touch down. We met up with Gary literally at the gate next to ours and Bill flew in on Tuesday. We had a nice house in Mesa that comfortably housed all of us and our gear and for a pretty reasonable price. Our first stop was to Airguns of Arizona, where we had shipped our guns the week prior. After collecting them and getting the tour, we grabbed some lunch before heading to our house to check in and unpack.

We spent Tuesday with Airgunners of Arizona up at the Ben Avery range. It was about an hour drive, but well worth it to check out the guns and get a few lanes in. We saw friends from around the world. Australia, , Canada, Puerto Rico, South Africa, England, Wales, Brazil, and a few others. Thankfully we were also able to get an issue with Jeff’s EV2 resolved. It was intermittently not cocking, and we figured out it was some wear on the hammer and sear, so with a little tweaking, we got it fixed. Special thanks to the AOA crew for letting us work in their mobile airgun van!

(you can see the witness mark (sharpie) on the hammer. Jeff and I checked this every evening to verify it hadn't moved back towards the worn spot)

With that sorted, I shot the mini-match with Jared from Australia. Learned a lot about the tricky wind we would later encounter and ended up with a 45/48 which may have been the top score of the day. Definitely a good start.

(Jared taking aim at the Ben Avery range)

Wednesday was the official check in and equipment check, along with sight in day. No issues there, but the wind was humbling. You had to get very comfortable with the idea of holding anywhere from 1”-6” off of the kill zone at 55 yards. Bear in mind, kill zones at that distance are 40mm/~1.5”, so the wrong wind call can easily lead to a miss. With everyone feeling good about their guns, Keith, Jeff, Bill, and I went to Superstitious Mountain and hiked about 2/3 of the Flat Rock trail. Amazing views, and a great time overall.

(A few pics from Superstitious Mountain)

Later that evening was the official opening ceremony with all the teams and shooters present. One of the best aspects of Worlds is the team side of the event. Each day, the top 3 scores from your team combine for your team total. Highest total wins. Our team was made up of myself and 5 fantastic PCP shooters: Greg Sauve, Lukas Richter, Lauren Parsons, David Alsup and Paul Cray. Even if you’re not in the hunt to place, your score still may have an impact (that'll be important for later). And we had high hopes!

I bought a Cricket that was recently posted in the classifieds. I knew going in that it had a leak or issue with the reg. Upon disassembly I found a divot in the air tube. Looks like someone drilled into it by accident when they were doing their ham fisted air-gunsmithing. By the way, this rifle looks like Edward scissor hands was working on it. But for the price, the scratches and tacky, diy gold painted trim didn’t bother me. What does bother me is a divot that might be comprising the structural integrity of the air tube! I was going to fix this up and sell it but there’s no way it’s being sold with that little crater. I’d rather take the loss than sell it to someone and they get injured from a faulty air tube. The same way I respect the danger of riding my motorcycle is the same way I respect HPA. It’s easy to get complacent after a while of dealing with HPA (or riding) and having no incidents. But the danger is always lurking. Waiting for you slip up.

Side note: There’s no way the AGN member that sold it to me knew about it. He doesn’t work on airguns. So I’m not going to try and return it. The guy he bought it from does work on them and is a reputable member over on GTA. I don’t know if he did all this hamfistery. If he did, then he sold this rifle knowing this damn thing had a divot in the air tube. I really hope he wasn’t the one that did this and sold it knowingly.

I’m no mechanical engineer so I may be over reacting about this divot. But my gut says don’t trust it.



Here’s a BB comfortably nestled in the divot.



***Well I see how they made the divot. It happened when they were drilling the hole for a sling stud. The sling stud hole and divot perfectly match up. So this wasn’t some factory defect.

Hi Folks,
I am considering replacing the piston in my HW97 or TX200 with a lightened factory piston. My goal is to dampen the shot cycle and reduce hold sensitivity while keeping power at about 10-12fpe for target shooting at 50+ yards. I tried a shortstroke spacer and also leaving out the steel tophat but that didnt improve performance. Is a lightweight piston worth trying? I appreciate any help with this.

The 480bar/7000psi PCP Air Compressor by AEA is here...now where are the 480 bar guns? Future proof your hobby with the most affordable big bottle PCP compressor on the market. It just happens to also be the most powerful. Thanks for watching! -Nate

So my hatsan light compressor is leaking from this fitting. I have taken it apart and polish it and put it back as tight as I can but still leaking. This is the only part it is leaking from and I can not stop the leak no matter what. What is these steel pipe fitting call? I notice they have no o rings and only metal to metal. So I'm guessing they seal by fraction or compression? Since hatsan have discontinued this compressor they don't have parts for it anymore and I can't find it online. Anyone know where I can get this L shape tube fitting?

.22 cal 25.4g Hades Monster

Just got this Vevor pump.
shot the pistol into the yellow zone to test the pump.
After 100 pumps nothing changes on the gun or pump gauge.
Pump looks to be undamaged and In perfect condition.
Am I missing something?

Hi Guys, I'm new tothe forum and Iam looking tosee if anyone can rebuild the gas ram on a Hatsan mod 95 vortec with a type 1 piston.

I have a hatsan 130QE and it's not working seems to be in cocked position but it will not fire any suggestions?

NO LONGER AVAILABLE- DECIDED TO KEEP, THANKS FOR LOOKING

Hard for me to let this one go, but I’m being honest with myself in the solid fact that it truly never gets used to its full potential. The other day I asked myself how many rounds I’ve put thru it since acquiring it, and an honest guess would be about 15 whole mags worth of shots, so at around 255 shots(the 30 caliber mags on these are 17, all others 19). Most of those were times when my none pcp hobbyist friends came over and I’d let them entertain themselves by unloading 17 shots in less than 4 seconds in full auto. The final straw was me trying to load it the other day. I lost the feeling in my first three fingers from a 2021 cervical neck fusion, and I keep dropping pellets while trying to load this. Very frustrating.

I bought this beauty thru the classifieds, but it was brand new, unused, when the owner sold it to me. He unboxed it upon delivery just to post pics of it to sell, so I consider myself the true first user of this gun.

I recently set the tune at 860 fps from the 965 I had it at. If you’ve never tuned one of these it is the easiest platform to tune, just turn one knob CW or CCW while shooting thru a chronograph. The regulator has never been touched as reccomended by the factory. It’s never been out of my garage where it’s always been shot from. it’s truly been neglected by me just hardly using it. Other than the factory recall on the full auto toggle lever that AOA replaced, it’s been 100% flawless in function and leak free. It’s been kept at the just under the factory spec fill pressure setting of 250 bar in all the time I’ve owned it(230 bar is what I store all my unused PCP’s at, which is to allow for temp fluctuations)
I’ll post two links that are treads I started on this gun showing all I’ve done to it, and post up current pics by tomorrow. Current upgrades are a complete stainless fastener conversion. A DFL adapter so any 1/2-20 threaded moderator can be used, a secure method to make servicing the barrel off of the gun much easier when replacing, and a 3D fabricated custom adapter so a Saber Tactical rear monopod could be used for bench shooting.
I have the original o ring set from the factory along with a complete set enough to reseal the entire gun at least 25 times, and the K&L custom shoulder butt attachment that I never used and it’s still in its original box, an Ergo deluxe tactical grip with palm shelf.


All the factory pieces like the original hand grip, fasteners, etc, will be a part of this sale. It will ship in its original factory case and box from AOA. It will also come with the original owners manual and misc paperwork.
Disclosure- the 700cc bottle has decals on it, so I will be reinstalling the factory 500cc bottle back on for the sale.

The athlon scope and mount is not included in this sale. Asking price will be $1500, which covers shipping. I accept PayPal in F&F or G&S, in which the buyer would cover all the fees. The gun will not ship until I see the funds in my account. All standard stuff when buying in the AGN classifieds. No shipping overseas, only selling to folks in the CONUS.

As far as ammo, It shoots the 44.75 Haydes the best.

Here are my two treads on my initial set up of this platform-



Current pics to follow:

Pics are here- does not come with scope, scope mounts, 700cc bottle, the REKON ARCA adapter, or the STO Faux moderator wrapped in red vinyl. It will come with the factory mod and the DFL adapter so you can mount any 1/2-20 threaded mod.

OK here it is ,Someone wanted to no what kinda crony i had?Sorry about the hookey lites,i wanted to spend my money on more important things (pellets)

Sometimes situations arise that require specific or specialty tools. I’m interested in suggestions for a bush gun- something compact that I can shoulder and shoot at short range in tight spaces like thickets, heavy undergrowth, a pine sappling stand, etc. Might sound strange, but it’s what I want. If I can find something less than 30 inches that would be great! So far I’ve considered:

Evanix Rex-P in .45 (super compact)
AEA Element in .45

Just something I’ve been thinking about on and off. What else can y’all suggest?

I had this rifle for several years and finally this morning it got it's buck, I've been hunting public land that was over hunted last year opening day I heard maybe 6 shots but a lady at my church has some land an gave me permission to hunt on it, opening morning Saturday the 16th I saw 4 does and this buck but did get a shot didn't hunt Sunday. Went yesterday morning I was in the stand for 5 hours never saw anything, got in the stand a little after 6am today a hour and a half I looked over my right shoulder a saw this fellow coming up behind me with his nose to the ground, when he got even with me he looked up and then walked a few feet stopped looked up again didn't like what he saw and bolted I'm thinking dang but he stopped again in about 15 yards just 25 yards in front of my with a quarter align perfect shot align I put one of my 280gr Noe HP slugs in him, he ran about 50 yards an laid down for his last Dirt Nap. That 280gr made a mess of his lungs after going through a rib exited through a rib offside through the shoulder and found the slug under the hide, what a Great hunt for me and the Texan. He was between the small tree and the larger one on the right looking straight over my rifle.

My new crown 22/500 is scheduled to arrive late next week. I intend to follow what I see recommended on this site by shooting it at least 4 or 500 rounds at the factory settings to break it in before tuning it to it;'s pellet choice. My first question is... can someone who has one tell me what the factory setting will be on it when I receive it? Can you also tell me at those setting what fps it will likely shoot a 18.1 pellet? I have other guns so will be deciating this gun to shooting at 50 to 65 yards, seldon ever more. Could someone who owns one share with me your setting for this range shooting of this gun. Thank You.

My second string as a n00b and wanted to air something out to make sure I’m not crazy.

I got into air rifles on a whim after realizing my daughter liked shooting and is a good shot. I only have one NFA can in 22LR because it took 354 days to receive it, and that turned me off from getting more (although approvals are much, much faster as of late). After seeing that I could get multiple cans (moderators) without any NFA BS to shoot in my backyard, I looked further into it.

Then, when I bought my first air rifle (Bulldog M357 because I have lead/molds as a reloader) with a DonnyFL can and saw how awesome today’s PCP weapons are, I got hooked.

I also have many conventional pistols and rifles but don’t shoot them because I never have time to drive to a range. So, I’m selling most of my collection of regular arms save for some standards in the principal calibers, and going all-in on air rifles. I just really like the idea of shooting all the way up to a 50 CAL and doing so inexpensively in my backyard, with family if they so choose!

Did anyone else make that choice to switch from mostly centerfire to mostly air, and if yes, why?

Hi all,
I would like to know your thoughts on this type of scope levelers...
Is it worth buying them?
