A classic on airguns by G V and G M Cardew! I have a copy and just wondered about a copy to give as a Christmas gift. Looked at ABE Books and couldn't find one. Neither the first or second one was anywhere in their system. That is a lot of used book stores with nothing on a subject. There wasn't a reference to other books on airguns in their system. Are they that rare? No Encyclopedia of #Spring Air Pistols as well. A dearth of books on the subject! I will find a book on some history of warfare as a second choice.
Are there other airgun books to search for? Used or New? T I A. Be Well Brothers, 'dito.

A compressor or a scuba tank?

I can get a new 80 cuft scuba tank for around $300, a used one that's certified for around $200. A fill will cost less than $20 at a scuba shop, and I'd get the cleanest air possible.

80 cuft = 2,265,348 cc.

My gun has a 580 cc tank so I could get about 3,900 fills for about $320 total investment from an 80 cuft bottle. A smaller bottle would be lighter and more portable and still give plenty of fills.

Am I missing something here? It seems like this is an obvious choice to fill PCP gun tanks.

For Sale: JTS Airacuda MAX .25 caliber. I purchased this air rifle from Pyramyd on June 29, 2024. The gun has ~1200 rounds through it. I have made a few changes. 1) Regulator is set at 2000 PSI. 2) Modified stock for direct access to hammer spring. 3) Modified stock for direct access to degassing screw. 4) drill vent hole in shroud. This made it noticeably quieter. The stock also has about 5 coats of boiled linseed oil. See pictures for all of this. Also included is the stock extender. This makes the Length of pull 15.5 inches.

This gun is tuned for 29g and prefers AEA for both 29g and 25g. JTS is a close second. I included a couple of 25 meter shot cards (25g and 29g) and a 51 shot string from my chrony for reference.

Gun comes in original box, owner’s manual and extra magazine (3 total). ***bipod not included**

As the thread title states, what are some of the best inexpensive scopes and range finder? I do small game with air guns and the cheap range finder I have keeps reading branches in front of it. Let me know what you recommend. Anything around $300 and under.

I have a regulated .22 Revere, but I was searching the Daystate website and could not find some technical information.

For those members that have the .177 unregulated 18 FPE rifle, what pellet brands and associated velocities are providing best results at 25-40 yards?

Also, for those that have both the .177 and .22 caliber rifles, which do you think are more accurate at the above distances.

I regularly shoot in the 30Y Challenge thread, and although my .22 is very accurate, I was curious about user experiences with the .177.

Thanks in advance.

This is a complete review of the Red Panda's little brother: the Karma Airguns SLS. This is the standard model but it also comes in a compact. This is a great top tier PCP rifle in the mid-range price range. The SLS brings alot to the table. See what I mean in this informative review. Thanks for watching! -Nate

New 700cc 300 bar bottle. M18x1.5 threads so will work for most any airgun (FX,Raw,Daystate etc.)

Now, I’m active on the forums, my knowledge is still limited, but my enthusiasm is high, always wish to help lesser informed individuals as per our guidelines. What catches me off guard is how limited MY knowledge is! I keep getting these responses to old posts of mine and I’m like WTF??? What was I thinking? Back then. Now I’m decent at asking relevant questions, but can see I’m smoked with the qualified responses. Hey, as long as information is shared! , so be it!

Ted's Holdover and 68 Whiskey don't appear to have any new videos out in the last 30 days. Is that just normal? I just started watching them again after a hiatus. Be Well Brothers, dito.

I’ve elected to let this Epic Two 550mm .25 caliber rifle go, it was purchased from edgun west and has had one tin of pellets fired through it. It’s a very impressive rifle, the only reason it is for sale is I want to fund a pesting rifle purchase. You will receive the rifle (no scope or bipod) with the installed sekhmet gauges as well as the adjustable bag rider along with all of the factory bits and the factory hard case. I will entertain trades for a Leishy 2 in .25 or .30 caliber. I’m asking $2000 for the rifle with extras and we can discuss shipping. I can have it boxed up and shipped the day after payment is made. Thank you

Over the weekend I was in two scenarios where I had a rifle on me and walked/stalked to within pistol range on some hogs. I spotted a pig running while crow hunting. I went to investigate the area looking for it and ended up crawling through a hog trail in a briar thicket. Eventually I found myself about 20 yards from a pretty big hog. By the time I got it's face in my reticle and decided what needed to be done it was at 15 yards and I was on my knee surrounded by briars. I shot it in the face from 15 yards with a 34 grain domed pellet from .25 R5M wounding it and causing it to run in the opposite direction. I was in a very vulnerable position that I was not prepared for, so my safety was on my mind. The next day I believe that I ran into the hogs again. I didn't shoot at because it was at dusk and I had not positively IDed the animals,. I was in some pine saplings, tall grass, and other undergrowth at the top of an embankment on the edge of the woods as the sunset. If a hog emerged from the brush in front of me it would have been about 5 yards. That is not enough time to positively ID and locate the animal through my scope (with limited FOV at a minimum 5x mag) in low light. Look at how the hog closed the distance in the last scenario and it didn't know I was there.

These scenarios can attest to exactly why I bought the GK1. However, I have yet to mount my red dot and I don't have a holster. I really need a holster that I can wear across my chest. I started to put it in my chest pack, but I don't trust the safety on the gun and I feel it is a risk shooting my self in a chest pack that it would move around in and possibly fall out of. In these scenarios I would've used the GK1. In the first scenario I would have tried to get at leat three shots in that hogs head if not half a magazine to try to kill it insteaed of run it off (I did shoot one braodsinde later that day). I opted not to shoot the hog between the eyes, because I didn't want to risk a ricchet off the forehead, pissing off the hog, and getting runover or mauled. The ability to get off multiple shots would have been a game changer let alone the report of an unmoderated GK1.

So again I'd like a holster that can accomodate a GK1 with the red dot reflext sight mounted forward on the dovetail rail, but can also cover the trigger with a strap that also covers the safty. I'd like the versatility of wearing the holter on my chest or hip. Do you all think this is fesible? If so where can I get such a holster? Is there anything I'm not thinking of that you all have any ideas about?

I'm trying to understand how one picks the initial FPS to tune to, particularly .22 pellets.

Is there a pickoff chart anywhere that shows the relationship between weight and best velocity?

My office is taking shape slowly but surely.

Saturday I spent some time making a gun rack for my current favourites.
This morning I re-arranged some if the shelves in the cupboard behind me to accommodate all sorts of shooting related stuff, my old bar fridge and my 3D printer.

It is small, but it is mine.

It remains a work in progress.

What would you buy?

Like traditional stocks, but also Like compact.

So far I’ve looked into the hw100, or the crown mk2 compact.

I have a right handed version of the RAW HM1000X in .22 caliber chassis. This rifle is shooting HN hp2 .217 25 grain slugs at an average of 927 fps (without adjusting the hammer spring at all). I’ve had this rifle for less than a year. I recently sent it to RAW to get the orings replaced and it’s shooting great. I am selling it because I am trying to thin out my collection.

On a side note, the OEM gauge is not accurate at all. I noted in the picture that the gun is actually filled to 250 bar but the OEM gauge is inaccurate. Just keep this in mind. I’ve had multiple RAW rifles and they have ALL been inaccurate.

I am selling her for $1050 shipped to you using PayPal FF. ConUS only. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

I just watched this tuning video which I found to be the best so far for tuning an FX Impact.

However, he doesn't explain how he determined the original FPS he was trying to achieve.

So how do you pick a starting FPS to tune to?

Thanks

Like new works great made a few YouTube videos with it.. psr bottom raise.. asking $1700 shipped... Comes with one mag.. right now it's shooting AEA 25gr pellets at 960 and it's a laser.. PayPal friends and family.. will take partial trade/cash for a newer Texan

I am always looking to tinker a bit with my guns. I think I heard somewhere that the best speed for an 18gr .22 pellet is 700 fps (out to 100 yds). The context for this is benchrest shooting. Still, that seems really low.??

With the Worlds Event taking place this weekend, we didn't expect a big turnout today, but we were pleasantly surprised! New friends and old friends showed up in the cold bright morning.
Maybe it was the calm weather or just we are in the lull between holidays, but it was great to have a good group of shooters to share the morning with.
The scores were pretty high- two of our top shooters thought the course was a little too easy, but we had to take advantage that Jim P. was at the Worlds and not moving the 3/8" targets out to 55 yards on the off hand range.
Hope he had a good time in Arizona cause we sure did here!

Purchase this gun used from AOA. Just getting a chance to shoot it. This group is 10 shots at 75 yards using the JSB 25.39 grain at 938 feet per second.

I installed a plenum gauge and an accurate tank gauge. One original mag and an Orion mag. I set it to shoot Hades around 915fps. It’s very accurate and no issues. I just never shoot it. Will ship it in the original boxes I received it in. Price is $800 and we will split shipping.

I have two Shin Sung 9mm rifles. Bottom is a Fire 201 and top is a Fire 202. Willing to sell one of them and will keep the one that doesn't sell first.
Both hold air indefinitely and operate as they should. Sling and cheap scope will stay with the gun I keep. I've taken the 201 out for deer but not shot one yet. I have not tried to remove the camo stickers on the 202 but expect beneath it will be normal high gloss wood that's typical on these. The rear sight on the 202 needs a little work also but the 202 does have a desirable (to me at least) feature of a threaded barrel for a moderator. I can post more pics on request. They aren't perfect but nice enough for me.
$600 pick up in SE Michigan or add $40 to ship.
