Yes the outie wounds are through shot beast little gun.

My pics don't seem to be showing it well, but my new-to-me Crosman has a lot of scuffs & scratches on the plastic stock. I've never tried to fix/restore a plastic stock before. Any advice or link to a how-to?

This is a very special little compact Mutant. The barrel in this thing is EXCELLENT! It shoots everything from 16gn JSBs / Hades up to 34gn slugs lights out.

It has a custom valve and hammer system, the valve is also compatible with the Taipan Veteran. Cocking lever is also reversible.

Efficiency & versatility - I had it shooting JSB Monster RDs at 937FPS over the winter (very easy to tune) with an ES of 1, but I re-tuned it for JSB Hades with it's monster shot count. The shot count really shines with 16gn ammo (JSB Hades, Jumbos, H&N, etc), and I've been able to get over 200 shots per fill at 12FPE (>150 shots at 15FPE, and 64 shots at 25.5FPE). I was able to shoot the Monsters and 25gn H&N slugs around 50FPE around 190bar, but the custom hammer system can work the valve at higher pressure if that's your thing.

These Mutants use 12-shot mags vs. 10 in the Veterans. There's nothing quite like these Ukranian-made Mutants. You get the impression / feeling like they were hand-built by someone who cared!

Durability & reliability - It's also one of the most durable bullpups that I've ever seen. It would make for a perfect truck gun, barn gun, and / or for all around field use. You can't really mess up the barrel since it actually stops under the forward barrel support and the factory moderator threads and sleeves over it under the support.

I've taken over 100 squirrels with it and about twice that in starlings and sparrows. These Taipans are very reliable and I serviced the rifle recently (5/25/2024) using high quality o-rings with proper grease. It should stay sealed for many (many) years to come.

I see thread after thread. And video after video of people with rifles like AA and Weihrauch, etc.
where they spend a premium on these rifles that shoot 25+ FPE. Then turn around and spend time and money to cut the power in half or more. All in the name of stacking pellets?

Seriously these guns shoot great without choking them to death power wise.


For me. I’d rather shoot dime size groups at 25 yards @ full power than shoot a 1/4in group at 1/2 power.

But maybe it’s because I don’t compete in target shooting. I practice shooting, I hunt, I pest, I plink.
A 1500.00 12fpe serves no useful purpose in my mind.

This is not an attack on springers. It’s my personal problem with lack of understanding.
Where I see most other shooters tend to tune for more power, more efficiency, and more accuracy.

Don’t hate me. I just want to know

Just some suggestions for new gun owners aside from the obvious safety rules. I always inspect the gun for nicks, scratches dings and dents, I don't want a dealer by chance sending me a gun someone sent back or a shipper damaging it. Next thing I do is check all fasteners/screws ETC to make sure nothing is loose. Then I clean the entire gun specially the barrel as they generally arrive filthy. From there, (PCPs) I check the gauges and top off the air wait an hour or so and mark or write down the pressure on a piece of blue tape, stick it on the stock and put it in the safe to be checked the next day. What else do ya'll do with your new guns before you shoot them?

Hey fellow AGN members,
I am a long time Crown .25 pellet shooter and after my uncle gifted me with an Express, I want to start shooting slugs. First and foremost, I am a hunter and part time home range shooter. I haven't a clue what I am doing tuning for slugs. Uncle had it set @150 BAR. He had the Macro wheel set way up. I took that back to the 13 recommended setting. for starting. Been tinkering with various weights and brands of slugs. I would like input from you all on your favorite slug and settings. I would like also like two to three clips or more worth of shooting. This platform is heavy enough taking even a pony tank of air is not feasible for a long walkabout in the field or woods. I know how accurate my crown is with pellets. @ 50 yards shoot a single ragged hole. I know slugs are better suited for longer ranges but can I expect the same with slugs? Thanks,

Marty

Im thinking about buying the gx cs4 for filling my 45 min SCBA tank and a my small guppy tank what's y'all's thoughts on them?.

Good morning all,
I am looking for someone who does re-seal/tune ups on Webley Tempests. I have two of them and I believe one is in dire need of an overhaul. I have called Baker Airguns over in Ohio, but he doesn't service them. If anyone has some experience with a airgun smith that services Tempest please let me know
Sincerely
Mark

Is there anything out there like the original Shoebox? Mine has been trouble free other than a couple routine rebuilds over the course of something like 15 years. Where it is electric powered it only needs a tiny/quiet compressor and an occasional dab of white lithium grease on the pistons. I am worried that mine will die at some point as parts are drying up. the Altaros while nice is air powered and requires a lot more first stage air IE a large compressor. I read about nothing but failures from what’s available today. Is anything worth buying?

I just got off the phone with a farmer friend who is going to show me a new place to hunt pestilent ground squirrels. I can't speak for you fellers, but I would rather have an hour in a new hunting ground than a week at Disneyland. What makes it even more fun is being able to be have it all to myself...no waiting in line, no parking problems, no traffic, no screaming rugrats, and now that I'm retired I can go any day of the week. Being all alone is not my first choice, but my shooting buddy passed away. Now when I find a new spot to shoot, he always goes with me in my thoughts. We used to have some terrific times out shooting together. Don't take your good times or your friends for granted, they don't last forever.

Here's the deal: I have a .22 Dreamline Classic with a 500mm barrel. The regulator is set at 100 bar. I'm shooting 18 grain pellets and would like to get near 900 fps. I suspect I'll need to slow things down to achieve optimal accuracy, but I'd like to hit 900 to give myself more space to work. I should be able to reach these speeds, right?

I did the whole rigamarole with adjusting the hammer spring tension and regulator pressure. Even with a nearly maxed out hammer spring at ~115 bar, I'm only getting a very erratic 870 fps. Am I asking too much of the 500mm barrel? I'd like to maintain a decent shot count, so I'm trying to avoid high regulator pressure.

Ideas?

Phoenix Rod and Gun Club and Ben Spencer hosted a UFT night match on 05/25. A total of ten shooters attended, 3 rimfire, 1 slug, and 6 pellet.

Photos were provided by Scott, Dan, Ben, and Wes (thanks guys!) While these guys took some really great photos, it's really hard to capture just how cool it is to shoot a match at well-illuminated targets in the otherwise dark night....nothing else quite like it.

Multiple shooters reported to me that the beginning of the match had some light and variable winds that needed to be accounted for, but even those light winds died off later in the match and became not much of an issue. One shooter estimated the temp in the mid 70's. Overall sounds like just about perfect weather for a field target match.

Tony T chose to spend his 39th () birthday with some of his shooting buds at this match. The story I got was that his family couldn't understand why he wanted to celebrate by shooting a match and he told them he can celebrate with them any time, but a UFT match was happening and he wanted to be there to try out his new Pardini!

Steve M got sick at some point during the match, said he had some pretty severe heartburn. It didn't appear to affect his score much though, as he turned in the overall high score of the night.

Tom C of American Air Arms competed in the slug class. Sounds like he was doing some testing on a .223 slug EVOL and started the match with not much dope. His scorecard tells the tale. He was 2/16 on his first 4 lanes, but something clicked on his last shot of his fourth lane and he went 25/28 on his next 7 lanes. ie he figured out his trajectory and shot like a house on fire the rest of the match.

Tim G is a first-timer and turned in a very respectable score for first time at a night match. I heard that he, Van, and Ben shot through the course again this morning, prior to getting the course torn down and put away. This is an opportunity Ben offers to those willing to help put the course away and I'd recommend taking him up on it. It ends up being a win-win. He gets some help, and the volunteer gets some practice in on a real course.

And how bout Wes C, turning in a 44/48 in the pellet class?!?! and using the .22 Monster RDs none the less. When they're good they're GOOD! Wes's score with pellets bested some of the slug and rimfire shooters even. For a pellet launching airgun lover such as myself, I love to see a pellet shooter do so well.

Overall course Troyer was a 33.6, not accounting for the standing tripod shots. Those are a new twist and I'm not too sure how to include them now. They're much easier than true/actual offhand. For reference, the "easiest" shot was a 1.75" @ 35 yards for a 20T and the "hardest" was a 1.75" @ 75 yards for a 48.2T. I included those 5 highest T targets in the stats, as well as the 4 standing tripod shots.

Great shooting everybody.

Here's the equipment list and scores...



Thanks to PRGC, Ben and help and anyone else who took part in the behind-the-scenes for making this match happen.

(I'll use an additional post for all the photos)

Been on the hunt for a rifle with more power than my hw30 in .177. Looked d34s, and various clones. Thought about a gas ram for a while, I have never had 1. Finally came across the agd website having their sale for the weekend. After cruisin' through pages of rifles I found the Crosman Vantage NP in .177 on sale,and still able to use the discount code. Rated at 1200 fps with alloy. After reading the reviews and whatever else I could find between them, PA, and posts here I ordered the combo. I am prepared for the scope to be a disappointment, and to have to do the bearing mod on the trigger. Overall the rest of the reviews are quite favorable. I also like the idea it comes with a wood stock, although no fancy high figured walnut or anything like that. To be fair you can't buy a nice walnut blank for the cost of the whole rifle. Either way I am a big Crosman/benjamin fan, and it seemed right that my first go at a gas ram style springer would come from them. supposed to arrive Friday. Looking forward to putting it through it's paces. I would prefer if only the front sight was fiberoptic,but at least it comes with open sights. I imagine we are still in the time frame where this will be "old" stock, and fall into the now collectible pre-Daisy/gamo Crosman production.
