Hello
Before making any adjustments I’d like to know:
On PCPs with hammer spring adjustment screws is there a preferred method for measuring/documenting the adjustment?
To clarify
Would it be the number of turns from the screw all the way in (spring max compression), or from the screw backed out as far as it can go?

Thanks
Edward

Greetings-I have been taking my time and learning about air guns reading your posts. I come from shooting sporting clays and hand guns. My first purchase is a HW 50s which I have now shot about 150 pellets through. I have noticed most of the names for scopes that seem to be popular, I am not a hunter, just plinking and casual target shooting, I have a powder burner Anchutz 22 with a Leupold scope, great shooting combination. In contacting Leupold they make a Freedom line of scopes with one. 3-9x33 for .22 and air rifles. Why do I not see more of these being used? Your experienced, knowledgeable thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Just received on Saturday from Pyramid Air via Marksman Distributors (sister company to Utah Air). My patience was definitely rewarded with this gem of an airgun. Might it be the last Royale in walnut manufactured?

Hi all,

I currently own an FX Maverick Sniper .22 with a slug kit. I had the gun set up with 36g slugs, and it was shooting at 960 fps with the first regulator set at 180 bar and the second regulator at 150 bar, with the hammer set to 7. I experienced a slug jam right at the end of the barrel. After struggling to remove the slugs, the gun's fps dropped to 920 fps. I am currently shooting 30g slugs, but I can't get the gun to shoot higher than 960 fps, even after I increased the second regulator to 170 bar. Any advice? Thanks!

The POI shift is rather a relative thing.

For casual shooters and most hunters the slight POI shift is not a problem and might not come into their attention, hence they might not notice it.

While for keen precession shooters I mostly find that even a slight POI shift is a big problem.

Then there are again two scenarios. One scenario is this that the shooter always re zero the gun for every new session. Once it's done, there is no issue for that session.

The other scenario is in which the shooter doesn't re zero the gun for a new session. Here the issues and comparisons start.

As per my experience, Royal 400, Royal 500 and Boss keeps the POI as close to any last session as it is possible without the need to re zero the gun.

There are other external factors that can still affect the POI very slightly which are change in humidity, temperature etc. These are constant factors for all kinds of guns and all kinds of barrel systems.

FX liner system is made up of a number of parts i. e. Liner, rear retaining part having transfer port, front retaining nut, outer shell of liner and O rings. These were the parts when the liner system was initially introduced.

Later Ernest Rowe started inserting a carbon fiber tube between the liner and the shell and epoxied it. Definitely this had been done to fix some inherent issues of the liner system which is most probably POI shift.

Later FX also started selling carbon fiber pipes for this purpose.

Even later Ernest Rowe and mny other tuners started tensioning the barrel in FX Impact.

Later FX also started offering it.

So the improvements in the liner system went on and on.

In my experience, the free floating barrel keeps the best POI provided the barrel is solid.

FX makes wonderful liners. When I convert these liners into a solid sturdy barrel, 95% of POI shifts are gone. But then I have to prepare a separate complete barrel in which I cannot replace the liner. For some other liner I make a new complete barrel using that liner.

I am also using some real solid barrels in Impact and get good consistency of POI.

Further the tolerances of each gun are different hence some face more issues than others.

I understand that one of the reasons of keeping the liners inside the cylinder or plenum in Panthera and DRS is to avoid POI shift.

Almost all the PCP models of FX are currently being made on liner system. So changing the liner system means redesigning of all the models of FX as far as the balance of the gun is concerned.

The liners are very accurate but are mostly unsuccessful in creating a consistantly precise and accurate truck gun.

Many users having liner system using the gun in their trucks complain about this issue while similar users of Cricket or RAW do not face this issue.

Hello, purchased my 25 Marauder back in February but just recently started to mod/shoot it a little bit.

I added an 18 lb hammer spring from Jefferson State and a hammer denounce device from AOA.

I got the following shot strings in the attached screenshots, using JSB 25.39 and 33.95 with four and a half or five turns in on the hammer spring (wouldn't cock with any more turns in).

Starting pressure was 3000 on both and ending pressure was 2150 on the 25.39 after 23 shots (first shot was a double load). Ending pressure was 2400 on the 33.95 (one shot was a duplicate (790) and was lost during an incoming call while using the chronograph app) so it only shows 15 shots.

Does anyone have shot strings using a bone stock set up using one or both of these pellets?

This is like new condition. It comes with 2 mags and a fill probe. Beautiful gun that can clear the KYL rack with ease at 50 yards. I've only shot jsb 25 grain through it. Scope not included but could be if the buyer wanted to work something out. Asking $1000 shipped and insured. I also have a new tactical chassis if the buyer wants that add $200. I prefer paypal f&f but I will entertain other forums of payment.

Just wondering if people are still happy with their PARD DS35?

So what is the advantage to a carbon sleeve ?

Do any of you shoot NRL22 with an air gun? If so, which caliber, 22 or 25, do you prefer when shooting slugs?

Ever since I got into a PCP 4 years ago, I've always wanted a Weihrauch HW100. When I bought my PCP, I ultimately picked between it and my current gun, the Taipan Veteran. At the time, I picked the Taipan Veteran because it is much shorter even in its long configuration. I love the way the Taipan Veteran look, but I also love the traditional rifle look of the HW100. Given the same choice today, I would still pick the Taipan Veteran first... but now that I have it for a few years now, I still can't get the HW100 out of my head.

The HW100 seems to be well tuned from the factory. What has everyone's experiences with the gun's first shot consistency? I don't mind tuning the gun, but the HW100 looks like I have to disassemble it quite a bit just to get to the hammer and regulator. It would be really nice if it shot close to 30 FPE and have the first shot be on point without me having to touch the gun.

Another concern I have is the anti-double load mechanism. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer to exactly how the anti-double load mechanism in this gun works. A lot of the videos I've seen showing this feature only shows that the anti-double load mechanism works when the gun is already cocked. What I'm concerned about is when I decock the gun, would the mechanism still work? With my Taipan Veteran serving as a standby varmint rifle, I sometimes chamber a round but end up not firing it. I decock the gun with the round still in the chamber and the next time I need to take a shot, I just re-cock it again without having to fiddle with the magazine. Simple. With the HW100 however, I keep reading mixed comments about it. Some people say that decocking the rifle, the magazine will cycle to the next round when it is recocked again. Other say that the anti-double load mechanism will not let it happen even after a decock.

My hang up is if I buy the HW100, it will mostly be for aesthetic reasons. It doesn't serve a different purpose as the Taipan Veteran. I really still love my Taipan Veteran. It does everything I need, it gets 100 shots on the reg at my 32 FPE tune and it is quite accurate. I love the way it looks but I also love the way the HW100 looks.

Here is a full review of the new FX Impact M4 Sniper 700mm in .22 caliber I bought from Pyramyd Air. This awesome PCP rifle is shooting perfect right out of the box. No tuning required. Thanks for watching! -Nate

Looking for good scope and ring recommendations for a f impact mk4 .25 for squirrel hunting . Good brightness and magnification needed thanks?

FINALLY found the magic combination for the Raptor .25, could never quite get it to shoot RMR/FX Hybrids well so I figured heck my Maverick VP sends them out at 1004fps so....WHY NOT? Cranked up the regulator a touch and only a touch and OH MY smaller than a dime at 25 yards at 1018fps , shoved in some 33.9 AEA's and they perked along at 939 and dime groups. The only reason the last one with the AEA's was 932 it was falling off of the regulator. Note to self, self...DO NOT MESS WITH THE GUN. Disclaimer, the first two shots in both strings were a touch higher then it settles down so I did cherry pick but still pretty darn awesome. And 60 Ft#'s with the slugs and 65ft#'s with pellets, at the muzzle.

I've looked all over online and I can't find the BC of the FX 30 cal 50.2 grain pellet. I need that to enter in the balistics app of my Arken Zulus. I have the velocity at the bench and at fifty feet. But I don't k ow how to calculate it.
Out of 250mm Edgun
703 fps at the muzzeloaders
678 at fifty feet
Any help is appreciated! I'm not a math wiz.

So, I guess this is, or, will be, my repository, and thread of rodent hunting tales.

In the title, I suggest that this is part two.
Reality: I'm fairly new here, and, have only just started posting here. I have posted for a longer time over at GTA - Me vs. My Cat, and, that is where pt. one of this tale is chronicled.
So, this being part two, I'm going to start where we are at currently. But, I am also going to include past hunting antics, of both myself, and, my cat, Kitty.

Kitty,.... She is a ferocious hunter. Seriously. But, she really only hunts Rodents, and leaves my wifes birds alone.
Me: I'm probably the worst shot in the west, especially over the last year, since I've been declared as legally blind. In that time, Kitty was kicking my heiner in the rodents kill column.
But, I've had both eyes overhauled and new lenses implanted; I'm now bionic. This has all played out since early March. I've since upped my game.

Kitty - my competition:


On her own single bed, never used by humans; in her own bedroom, with front and side windows, and her own side slider door entry:


She came to us from our wild edge, which is probably 15 acres of open, wild steep hillside land.
That hillside is steeply rising above us, rising from our houses base elevation of mid nine hundreds of feet in elevation, and rising sharply to nearly 2000ft elevation. That mountain is an extinct volcanic cinder cone from a billion year old volcanic cycle here.

Kitty was abandoned when the landowner above us sold and moved on. She moved herself into the wild edge, and, lived for the better part of two years in the wild, and amongst nightly large packs of Coyotes. And if you don't know, Coyotes eat Cats.

So, for two years, Kitty lived on her own, feeding herself on the local rodents, and avoiding being eaten by Coyotes. And she lived with us without our realizing it for probably a year and a half. She lived in a break line in our roof, where the roof changed elevations, and created a small crawl space. She found that crawl space, and called it home. It provided her with a safe nighttime escape from the Coyotes. To get there required a huge vertical leap (from a hillside) to get onto a horizontal patio caver beam, and then onto the roof.
We're not sure just how long she lived with us before we noticed her living on the roof. And she, and her boyfriend, Halfy, are the only cats that we've seen here in over 12 years of living here.
Halfy was a feral male with all of his male junk parts still intact. We called him Halfy, due to him only having about half of his tail.
He was so elusive that I only saw him at hundreds of feet distance, and, then only when he was running at full speed away from us. For quite a long time, I thought he was a Bobcat, as he was a very large Cat, and his coloring was a nearly perfect match for Bobcats, and his bobbed tail,.... well, I thought that he was a Bobcat.
Halfy was an old cat, and sadly, after getting to know him, he had bad rear hips, and likely got taken out by Coyotes, or, Cars, as he had a large range to roam (literally miles wide as suggested by neighbors that saw him in other areas).

Kitty is a Bengal/Tabby hybrid, known as a Marbled Bengal. She has human hand in her upbringing, but we feel that she was a barn cat at a neighbors horse property. She knows how to behave around people, but, was on the verge of being a feral cat (neutered, but living on her own)..

We've since, allowed Kitty into the house, and, she sleeps with me on the bed. I made her her own 'tuffette" to sleep on, as I don't want to steamroller her in my sleep. I'm a really big guy, and, could faltten her in a hot second.

Pardon my utter ignorance and stupidity, but I've been airgunning for almost 50 years and now the term "MRD" is being used. I looked it up on Google and it could be minimum residual disease or mini red dot optic. I don't think it's that. Please enlighten me.
