Well I finally went down the compressor rabbit hole and ordered some high pressure tanks. I’m sure they are aged out firefighter tanks. 30 minute SCBA units.

The plan is to borescope the internals and do a some remote pressure testing when they get here I have a steel pipe that’s capped on one end to put them in for pressure testing from a distance once I do my due diligence. Either it’ll be a great safety mechanism, or a pipe bomb….we’ll see which.

Hopefully it doesn’t end up being a decision I regret. But getting a year or five’s use out of these is what I’m hoping for.

I’ll be using the Yong Heng pump with a filter system…all the Chinese stuff makes me a bit nervous, but people seem to have good results.

This whole “saving money by shooting air rifles” instead of powder burners isn’t turning into quite the excuse I thought it’d be when I started lol…

Then I decided I “needed” a taipan veteran 2, so yeah. It’s no longer an inexpensive hobby. I’ll probably have more money into killing squirrels than they’ve ever cost me in damage…

Is there a way, and am I allowed to report a scammer?
And if I do, will the details be preserved for other members to take reference?

Here's the scoop
I ran into a seller on another forum.
I do not know if he is an AGN member
His ad was a nearly direct copy of text and the exact images used in an ad in 2018
I can provide email address, PayPal address, and the name used on the PayPal account and details of the item for sale
Hopefully no one will fall for this guy
FWIW
No!
I have not been scammed

Thanks

After weeks & weeks of the weirdest weather here in SoCal I finally got to hunt with my pal Mike Bricker (Centercut). We met up in Ramona where I have permission at a beautiful vineyard. Of all the days to NOT have used my Tactacam! We took out 37 Ground Squirrels total. 19 for Bricker, 18 for me. Days like this remind me of how grateful I am for having gotten into airguns. Mike was shooting his Kricket, I was shooting my .22 Bobcat. What a pleasure to shoot that LASER! Here's hoping the rest of Summer will be the same. Thanks for the fellowship & productive harvest Mike (the other stuff too).

Sorry, no pics or video. I won't make that mistake again!

Good even all, recommendation for pellet sizer wanted. Here's the problem, some of my pellets are slightly smaller than the magazines on my Huben K1s causing jams. Is it feasible to stretch the skirts a few thousands of an inch to smug them up in the magazine. I've pulled a search and watched videos on the subject. I'm looking for first hand knowledge from members that use them. Thanks for the help.

Haven’t played much with this scope as I got intensely busy at work and life. But today I was setting up different profiles with different reticles, for multiple distances. Sending CPHPs at 40 yards. As you can see if any of that chalk was an actual pest? The Atomic XR is simply wicked… Also a short video of a 40 yard rat kill I had forgotten about.

I read in some other threads when I was researching this one. Not a lot of love for the looks of this rifle. I'm more concerned with performance and quality workmanship tbh. As a matter of fact I bought this while I was waiting for my brand new fx maverick sniper .30 to come back from warranty service, it didn't work out of the box. I got the maverick back Wednesday and the vet yesterday. Vet worked right out of the box, shoots lights out. To be fair so does the maverick now that it works. Weight wise I'd say they feel about the same. No chronograph numbers yet, been overcast and it doesn't work well.

this hand pump is working... but it just might kill me. I understand you get what you pay for, Im not asking about a cheap one, and Im not looking to fill tanks. I am wondering what you own and how it preforms? Thanks in advance

How did you end up beginning this hobby? Squirrels raiding the family bird feeder? Target shooting and powder was too costly? What other reason?

Need to address pest issues and a Notos sounds like a good option. Thanks!

My airgun stopped working. I cannot pull the lever back in order to get hammer locked. I am keeping thr story short but my current assumption is that the spring is not getting compressed fully. And to confirm this I need help understand the operation of hammer and its spring. Please see the picture.

You can see part of the spring resides in the hammer. You can also see a cutout in the hammer. My question is, should the spring move freely in the hammer? In my case it isn't and the spring part inside the hammer does not compress. The spring is binding. Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks.

Benjamin Carbon Fiber Tank, 90 cu in, slow fill valve with gauge and hose w/female quick-disconnect. Born on date is October 2019. Holds air fine, great for backpacking.
$250 shipped to lower 48, Paypal F&F preferred or add 4%.

Without re hashing the safety aspect, mechanically are there issues if I load, cock, and then don’t shoot my Notos? Right now I primarily using it to shoot sparrows from my martin housing. I’ve had a couple minor issues with the stock magazine so I am just loading one at a time. Sometimes I load one to shoot and the target takes off before I get a shot. If I leave the gun as is for a couple hours, over night, etc. is here a point where it can do some damage to the gun itself?

Ok,
I’m selling this for only 2 reasons.
1. As a lefty and for fit, finish, balance and overall quality it’s excellent. John Thomas Vortex install and screw cups, black anodized small shop made cocking lever. But, I would enjoy it more if at 12-14ft/lbs and super smooth.

2. Because paypal told me to send a Webley airgun back to who signed, & paypal closed case with no word though I told them I want it or my money back. I’m out $980 with insurance and tracking back.

So $980 obo gets all you see, including the sights in a safe (I’ll add photos when I go downstairs), boxed & case, scope, mount, 4 sealed 500cnt, 1 open 1/4-1/2 tin included retaped, shipped priority next day USPO, insured anywhere in the CONUS USA. If further you cover 1/2.

It’s a good shooter. PM me.

I've been away from shooting for over a year and coming back; and so what's the logical thing to do in this situation? Buy a new air rife, that's what! Right now I own two .25 FX Impacts and a .25 Kalibrgun Cricket. Thinking I'll sell one of the Impacts

The Taipan II Tactical has caught my eye, along with the Kalibrgun Tactical. In the past, the Cricket was that gun, that I went to to just shoot. You could pull that thing out of the closet after it sitting and it would still be zero'd on the first shot so that's why I'm looking more to the Czech guns. They're simple, well designed, incredibly accurate and just plain work! Very little tuning involved. I have two notebooks on Impact tuning compared to less than half a notebook for the Cricket.

This isn't an Impact slamming post; I really do like them, it's just that the Impact is so adjustable it can get overwhelming at times. My MKII, (finally),shoots slugs like a laser. Fantastic guns.

Does anyone have an opinion on either of the above mentioned guns? I'm watching videos and looking for reviews. I did notice on the Kalibrgun Tactical, the cocking lever looked a somewhat stiff, whereas with the Taipan, it appears to be butter smooth. Otherwise?

Thanks for any input that any of you might have. Add links to reviews and vids if you care to...and thanks.

For sale are two BSF S54 underlevers. Both are in good used shape with some finish loss, minor rust freckling in a few spots, and some scratches/dents in the stocks. They function and shoot as intended. One is missing the front sight assembly, but the other is complete minus the hood. No other substantial issues aside from the cosmetic ones mentioned.

Selling as a pair so one can be cannibalized in case that's what the buyer wishes to do, as replacement parts for these rare guns are hard to obtain. Asking $600 including shipping.

Hi All

I am waiting for my Crosman 1701P to arrive.

How do you find this pistol

I ordered the "Improved Bipod Picatinny Rail (IBR) – Traditional (419-IBR-BK)" for my Taipan Veteran Long 25 cal. Due to the high fees of the courier to represent me to Customs and the customs fee, I had to pay more than $100 over the cost of the rail and I refused the shipment. The shipment returned to them, but due to a delay in this process, the card I used to pay with them expired. The bank renewed my card (my bank account is the same!). When the shipment is returned, they take 20% of the amount you paid...and now they refuse to return the rest. Can they just send me a check - not valid in the European Union or give me credit in their store which is pointless. I asked the bank and the situation is not as they say from Area419! There are other ways to get my money back, but they won't! To me this is a scam to get my money for nothing from them! Beware of such "merchants"!

When the wife or a friend shoots with me, there's a opportunity to shoot the same pistols. This is great for some friendly competition. Or having both ready without changing cartridges.

Do you own duplicate pistols?

Will the Fx impact regulator fit in the Panthera? I installed the extra high pressure Huma regulator and the recharge is very fast. The issue is the regulator drops in pressure over a period of time after shots and can’t hold the set pressure. For example I set the reg to 155bar and after a couple magazines it is at 152 bar with 170bar left on the fill. The stock regulator re charge was extremely slow but eventually got to set pressure. The stock regulator eventually creeped about eight bars higher then held that pressure. My idea was to get the impact high pressure regulator vs extra high so it had a bit softer springs to help the regulator recharge to my set pressure.

Somewhat struggling getting the SD/ES to tighten up. Info below. My pellet M3 is in the single digits but this one is hovering a bit.

Impact M3 .25 700MM
Slug Liner/Tungsten Hammer
Reg 1: 190
Reg 2: 155
Macro: 15
Micro: 4

Max speed is about 1035 fps or so. I know people say to be 3-5% lower than max. I could cut a touch more speed to get it in the 980’s?
