Threads like this always get me to wondering as to why some buy “airguns” to try to consistently and practically shoot at 100 yards. Unless you’re putting in lots of time and effort and equipment prep. Or are a competitive shooter with great equipment? Your on a wild goose chase…


Not saying that some guns and shooters aren’t capable of sending consistently good groups at that distance. It just not the norm for the majority. I can shoot out to 100 yards in my backyard and spent a lot of time trying to to achieve good groups for the N.U.A.H. Club challenge at GTA. It took weeks of sending to finally get the right conditions for me to achieve Master status… But to what end for me personally? After that endeavor I deemed that for myself? I was done trying to chase MOA at 100 yards with my PCPs… I’ve killed pigeons out to 100+ yards. But found through experience that I prefer to shoot and pest out to 60-70 yards…

99% of my shooting is from 25-64 yards, at those distances the hits on objects the size of a chipper’s head are consistent. Out to 100 yards and beyond? Even mildly windy conditions introduce lots of variation in the flight of pellets… And yes, I’ve read about the slug hoopla. But the majority got into airguns for their short range practicality sending pellets. Simply finding it amusing (in a good way) the fact that some enter this hobby searching for 50-100+ FPE PCPs to shoot at 100+ yards…

Yes yes I know it's a little early but it's always something I wanted to try and figured why not be ahead of the game. Scope used is the DNT Optics ThermNight TNC225R which was mounted on my Huben K1 .22 set at 20FPE. This was alot of fun and really enjoyed it. Make sure you check out the DNT line and feel free to use brawler10 on your purchases.

Recently acquired the Bulllshark in .177. Actually shoots quite well for it's price. It currently shoots around 1100 FPS w/ crossman premier HP too hot for my needs. I'd love to be able to get this thing down to under 800 FPS. Is that possible and how? I can't seem to find any tuning instructions on this specific rifle. I'm assuming this can be adjusted via hammer spring tension and or regulator adjustments, but have no idea where to start. Any help appreciated.

My favorite misfit from the land of bullpups (eastern/central EU) is the Cricket Carbine. Have spilled enough virtual ink here & elsewhere on the net explaining why, so will keep it simple here: more than any other rifle - air or powder - it just fits me. Saw a while back that @Georgia Airguns had some left in .25, at a reduced price. Life got in the way for several months, but finally settled down a bit... figured now was the time, as they probably won't be available much longer. Mr. Frear did the voodoo that he do on one & sent it my way.

Very little wind late yesterday afternoon, so pellet testing was on. The test target Charlie sent with the gun showed FX/JSB 25.4 & JSB 33.9 MKII shooting very well at 40 yards, with JSB Hades also showing perfectly acceptable hunting accuracy. Tested 5 kinds of pellets (FX & JSB 25.4 = same thing different wrappers). Apparently this barrel will shoot well with anything pellet shaped & .25 caliber. The biggest group, at a lasered 100 yards, was barely over an inch & a half. Will let the picture tell the rest; as the late, great Paul Harrell would say- you be the judge.



Been doing this long enough to know that one five shot group is only the foreward, not the book. That said, it’s clear this one is a shooter! Two manufacturers, two lead alloys, three weights, and four shapes... dang.

Side notes:

• This is my first rifle of ~half dozen that has shot any of the AEA/JTS offerings worth a hoot. Almost didn’t order any due to previous poor results, but glad I did. Don’t’ get me wrong, the others in .177, .22, & .30 had great weight/head size consistency, it just didn’t translate on targets. Rifle barrels being rifle barrels, no talking them into it with statistics.
• 25.4 pellets were moving at ~950 fps, & the 33.9 at ~845. Didn't chrony the AEA 29.5.
• All shooting done with JB3D single shot loader, clever design that works well.

For the immediate future, going with JSB KH MKII. Taking it to a UFT match this weekend, not sure I can get dope & still have enough of the AEA 33.9 to complete a 60-shot match (only bought one 150 count tin). Or that I could get more before then. After this weekend, will do a more thorough shootout among the three heavy pellets before stocking up on the winner.

Obligatory eye candy photo of the rifle below, with SFWA SS 12x scope & Warne medium rings.

Fx maverick shooting all over the place will get 912, 889, 856, 816. Which i do wait for the plenum to refill and also have my first reg at 140 and second on 100. Also am shooting fx .22 atomic at 15.9 grains not sure why new to pcp but was told to have 140 for first and 100 on second dont know if it's just the tune.

MOD EDIT: REMOVED PRIVATE INFORMATION. PLEASE ADD PICTURES.

Now the pursuit of accurate slugs that certain shooters want for their respective rifles is a real effort. Which strategy works best? Fastest? Do we use random size diameters, weights? Brands? Main consensus is grab several different weights, diameters and brands. This can get pricey and very labor intensive. I personally got sold on matching barrel diameter and matching close as possible. This eliminates 80% of available slugs and greatly reduces experimental costs and yield faster results. Others may disagree, but that’s my humble stance. Now this seems to apply to standard barrels, polygon barrels do better with smaller diameter ammo than their diameter would indicate.

This angry looking beast showed up looking to marry my Viper 5-25 scope and get jiggly with some Altaros 40 grain slugs. Who am I to say no?

My dad passed away a couple of years ago and mom took over the household, including his guns. She died recently and I was given his air guns. He was a Crosman multi-pump fan so 3 of the 4 were Crosman, and one is a Daisy. I was able to rebuild the 766 and 2100 (essentially the same).

The next is to look into the 760. But, there are a number of versions of it so I don't know what it is to find an exploded diagram or parts. Here are some pictures.




Any help with what version is it is, operation manual and parts supplier would be appreciated.

TIA.

I have ordered a number of the Beeman pcp and wanted one of several. Today my Commander in .22 came in and when I went to store the box I saw another box just like this one. And starting to look for the other one and I was. Setting about 6 feet from it and sever more. Don’t know how I missed when I thought I had carefully check what ones I had. Anyway isn’t two always better than one. Charles

Impulse purchase. Purchased during the July 4th sale. Ordered the Mad Dog stock and Altaros regulator shortly after receiving the airgun. Regulator works really well, it's set at about 135 bar and shoots the 13.73 JSB's at 740 fps. I shot it yesterday and got 70 shots with an extreme spread of 11 fps. If you want more power the regulator would need to be turned up along with the power wheel. Before I added the regulator max fps was in the 840's. The auto safety has been removed. There were a few places on the air tank that were chipped (see pictures), I've touched them up since I took the picture and they're not noticeable unless you're looking for them. I took my Impact 480cc tank and it used temporarily. Fits perfectly with the Mad Dog stock. THE .48L TANK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE IT WILL COME WITH THE ORIGINAL TANK. I just wanted show how it looked. Got a little bit of a hangover with the original tank but works fine and does not affect my hold at all.
Scope and rings not included
I've got well over $800 in this setup, selling for $600 $550 shipped CONUS, Pay Pal F&F or buyer pays fee.

still being green to this sport id rather ask than make mistakes
so my questions are
how often do you clean the barrel
do they use a brush like 22s or a soft swab I'm thinking a brush would ruin an air gun barrel but i could be wrong that's why i ask

which cleaning solution? something with silicone base?

use patches like a 22 push through until they come out clean i would suspect

when not in use do you lube the barrel slightly or no

don't mean to be a pain in the arse
id rather measure 2wice and cut once
thanks

I’ve ordered a Notos and since I only shoot between 10 and 25 yards I would like to set the fps to about 600. Before I put the stock on I would like to adjust it slower. And help as how many turns it might take as I’ll be shooting 15.89 gr pellets. Thanks for your help. Charles

Excellent condition Uragan .25 cal. No leaks no issues, outstanding shooter. Comes with two mags, soft case, moderator, and fill probe. No bipod or scope included.

$1k shipped anywhere in the US. Send a PM if interested. Thank you.

To clarify:

- Scope is an Sig 1-6 in Sig mount. It’s the cheaper $300ish scope.
- Bipod is made by Spartan Precision. Came on rifle so don’t know much else about it.
- Comes with .25 and .22 barrels.
- Huma and factory regulator.
- Spinning pellet dispenser.
- Digital gauge
- Crappy hard case.
- Extra O rings.
Price is 1900 OBO. Shipping and insurance is included.

Really hate to post this one but something needs to go and lately I find myself shooting this the least.

First the bad: it apparently has sprung a leak. It was sitting at around 190 BAR 3 weeks ago and now it’s at 109. It comes with extra o rings though!

Currently setup with .25 barrel but also comes with a .22 barrel. The .22 barrel has a few spots of surface rust on exterior. Im sure they would come off but I never tried.

Has a Huma regulator installed as per the previous owner and also comes with original. It also has the digital gauge installed.

Also has this fancy little pellet dispenser that is apparently hard to get

Bipod/scope also included. Will ship in a small hard case (nothing fancy) insured.

Payment either Zelle or PP f/f. I don’t do goods and services anymore.

If interested, send me a message with your number and I’ll text back.

Would consider trade for another compact/folding style PCP plus cash to me. Straight trade would do me no good at this point. Might also consider trade towards a HW44 pistol, preferably .22.

Thanks

$1900 obo for it all.

Just joined here used to be on GTA haven't been shooting much in a couple of yrs.I currently have a Umarex origin and a Avenger both in 22 along with a Gx cs4 compressor . I would like to find something in 30 or 35 cal to do a little coyote shooting noise is not really and issue I have a small farm in the county and have several coyotes running around my fence line at night don't really want to cut loose with a shotgun or centerfire at midnight.Would like to keep it under a $1000 if possible.

This Scout is in perfect condition with a Huggett Astille moderator, Dedal Stalker scope and a custom RH English Walnut stock by Warren Snaith.
3 magazines included.
Maybe 1000 rounds through it if that.
After thorough testing and consult with Steyr the most accurate pellets to 100 yds are JSB Diabolo 14.35 gr.
$4900 shipped CONUS in original case, anywhere else actual shipping costs.

Has anybody tried to change the barrel on the Umarex Notos to a longer barrel? if so, where did you get the barrel from?
Thank you.

This Stoeger XM1 BullShark is a great little 27 inch long regulated PCP bullpup. It gets 50+ shots per fill in .22 with 15.89gr going 935 FPS. The JSB 18.1gr goes 894 FPS. The XM1 BullShark is a winner as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for watching! -Nate

On a Regular Length Prophet I/II— What's the Biggest Bottle Possible

▪ Without preventing a large diameter silencer

▪ Without taking the shroud off


As I don't yet have a regular length Prophet I or II, I need to know the maximum length the bottle can have — in inches or cm.

It is highly unlikely I will buy a bottle from RTI.... — Maybe you even have a link to the AliExpress product?


Thanks,

Matthias

I'm probably going to regret this later, but I'm going to let my Rattler 357 go. I've had it since last year and have only shot it like twice. Just don't have the place to shoot it. It's basically new. I've recently got into archery and spend most of my free time shooting my bow. I'm asking 2200 shipped TYD. I'm open to offers. I've got plenty of great references on AGN. So deal with confidence. Can get better pictures later . Thanks for looking.

Yesterday I saw the post on UA blowing out RAW HM1000x chassis models, and then I noticed that a whole load of guns had been added to their 'Sale and Used' product category pages. More than I ever recall seeing on the UA site.

A lot of the guns are listed as used, some like the RAWs mentioned above are new, others are listed as demos, and still others are listed as 'open box' (which to me means likely discounted new old stock).

Judge for yourself if you see any bargains. I thought that the Caiman X in black wood/.25 cal/Gen1 for $699 was a deal so I grabbed it.

Good luck.

This is a one-off 24" .177 barrel that fits a first gen Taipan Veteran.

Lothar Walther, 1:17.7 with polygonal rifling. Slightly choked.

LW blank has been sleeved up to 15mm with carbon fiber and epoxied on brass end pieces.

Muzzle end has 1/2x20 threads and breech end has standard Taipan breech block threads.

Much lighter than full steel OEM barrel. Makes a Veteran balance very differently.

The carbon fiber sleeve consists of one piece that is 19.75" and a second piece that is 2.25" (see photo).

Due to the design of the Veteran, will work with a .22 Veteran or a .177 Veteran. Vets have extended pin probes so the larger diameter of the probe never makes it to the bore, so a .22 probe can be used with this .177 barrel. Vets also have a transfer port that is separate from the barrel, allowing you to use a .22 transfer port with a .177 barrel.

Please note that if using a .22 Veteran with this barrel, short .177 projectiles tip into the large dual transfer ports and make loading more difficult. If planning on dropping this into a .22 Veteran I'd recommend projectiles at least as long as a JSB 10.34.

$115 shipped. PayPal F&F or check/money order and we wait til the funds clear.
