Was looking at the daystate 110v 4500 psi compressor. Looks awesome but 2600 is a lot. Then I see people saying go with the omega air charger. It’s slower but can run 8 hours so it can fill a larger bottle. However after looking at the specs isn’t the gx4 fill rate the same ? The omega air charger is 23 cu ft per hour and the gx4 11 L/min as I figure isn’t that the same ? The gx4 is a third the price. I assume the gx is the way to go when comparing the lower price omega air charger ?

After a .30cal Hybrid Slug splashed his insides all over the place . I guess the Hybrid Slugs really put down explosive damage on avian targets!

i got a little compressor in a trade ,so been useing it to pump up a gun.So i thought better give Birtha some time"she been sitten all winter,don't like to run it in the winter to much rain"3 cranks and she poped off"

I own an Alpha wolf almost a year.
I have an issue with velocity.

I choose for example 22CAL 18.13grain 23"Barrel and 900 fps and the rifle shoots 800fps.
I double checked the velocity with an external Crono.

I changed both external O rings at the transfer port and the one smaller in the barrel. still same results.

Any suggestions that would be useful? I run out of ideas and daystate sents me back at the seller.

Thank you in advance

I bought 4 tins of beeman 15.2g round nose pellets at a local gun shop today. Upon opening the first tin, it is about half pointed pellets which don't work for me in the rifle I bought them for.and there is also this guy on the right...which is neither

i can almost tell when theirs a scammer around? I think there's one on their now?that they haven't caught yet? i like the one the on their the other day,add was for a 25cal. then in the add it says 22cal.So i emailed him and ask does it come with 2 barrels didn't here from him so checked the add this mourning and it said scam"poor Brad"

I'm looking to ensure there's no way to drive the pressure gradient up between a scuba tank and the working air tank for a PCP.

If the scuba tank takes 4500 psi, great. What if it only takes 3000 psi?

Can I then transfer 4500 psi to my working air tank somehow? Or would I max out at 3000 psi after the transfer?

I'm hoping there's some kind of device that can push up the pressure.

Thanks.

Looking for thoughts and advice on what airguns would be an upgrade from my Brocock Sniper HP. I have a few nice airguns that are excellent from 50 yards and in already. I do occasionally like to shoot out to 100 yards. My Sniper HP shoots 25.39 MRD's around 885 fps. I primarily shoot pellets, but slugs are fun to play around with, but not essential. I think I may be able to get something a bit better(faster for sure, more accurate???). Accuracy and reliability/simplicity are key.

What I would be looking for would be .22 caliber, no electronic guns and nothing semi/full auto. I'd like some adjustability on power level and would primarily be shooting from a bench or rest, but on occasion would use it to dispatch nuisance critters. I'd like to stay away from FX and the infinitely adjustability that comes with them. My max price point would be $2,500.

Some of the guns I've read about and think might be contenders to replace the Sniper HP are:

1. Brocock Ghost
2. RAW
3. Uragan
4. RTI P-3

Thoughts on these or any other I'm missing would be appreciated. Would any of these be enough of an upgrade for me to sell my Sniper HP?

I've been using my Omaga Trail Charger for some months now, in the beginning I timed fill times which average three and a half minutes with the 470cc Bobcat and 480cc of a Wolverine a minute or two longer but not filled very often. Using a pen stroke every fill I was surprised how fast time accumulated...Gave the grease pot its first rotation...Those pen marks represent about 10 tins or more of shooting, no doubt more than that...not counting my springers. This little unit works flawlessly. Unable to hand pump any more I am a slave to tank or compressor if I want to shoot PCPs...I do! I worry about this units longevity...time will tell. The GX CS4 I unit has caught my attention recently and plan to learn more about it...and may get one if I can find one....but for the time being I really like the Trail Charger...Need to order more pellets but that's a good thing!

WTH, FX went from proper, readable, actual meaningful gauges to barely readable toy gauges as their guns progressed. Not sure "progressed" is the right word ! So, what were they thinking in those 12 or so years ?

Here's an "old" (from about 2012 !)...FX Bobcat with proper, readable, usable pressure gauge.
Oh yeah, and you don't have to look down the barrel as with many other brands.
(As borrowed from the classified section)



To a more current, modern (?), FX gauge. Maverick with toy, almost...gauge.

I just talked to Bin at the Pellet Shop. We always have a bad phone connection so I couldn't hear alot of what I was told but I did manage to make out this info:

These are not made by AEA. They are actually made in one of only a handful of factories that are authorized to make weapons in China. The same factory just happens to also make parts for AEA. They used the tooling for the air tubes and a few other parts because they already had it on hand. The Red Panda is NOT an AEA gun or made with a bunch of AEA parts. Not even close. Apparently people who have these in thier hands are saying "I just shot the best 100 yard group of my life"...and I guess they are hearing that alot. There are .30 cals only now as of May 13th 2024 (today). In 45 days there will be the first large shipment that will include other calibers. In the same shipment should also be the SLS Compact and Standard models. If you pre-order from PY Air through the link in my video (or any PY Air link in any of my videos) I'll make 5%. Order now if you want yours in the first batch!

I won't be getting one or be able to do a review until the big shipment comes in, around July 1st. At that time I'd like to do the .22 but may have to do the .30 just to see this awesome 100 yard accuracy!

Here is a quick video telling you just about nothing on the Red Panda. Hit up Backyard Airguns Youtube channel for the first review on that bad boy! -Nate


.30 (7.62mm) and .357 (9mm) only, the $1400 Karma SLS Standard:

.22 (5.5mm) and .25 (6.35mm) only, the $1350 Karma SLS Compact:

Just found out my bobcat mk1 regulator is leaking an it seems to be the internal seals (o-rings) on the reg, does anyone know where I can buy these seals internationally or what the sizes are, I've included a picture of the regulator that is installed in this PCP

I don't know what happens when chickens find pellets, but i just found out what happens when they swallow empty 22lr casings, dead chicken. Now i guess i should look for a used metal detector, do they work on brass???

My hw 95 newer model version was only shooting 600-620 fps with 14.3 crossman. I am at 2600ft, dad tuned this up when i first got it and my deavation was pretty spread out here lately. Even though dad fully tuned it just didn't have that strong thump when it shot. Had factory seal and spring.

I ordered a jm hornet spring and a vortex seal. We left the factory seal and just added the spring and bam lol just 500fps and was getting blowby past the seal with the new spring. Used brake clean started from scratch and tuned it up now it is shooting 705 with 14.3 and 5-10 deveation in fps.

Biggest plus is learning from dad on how to take apart a hw and how to tune it..

Borrowed rifles for a bunch. Finally got my own FT setup.
TM1000 bbl action from Chas DiCapua
Stock from my bro John Taylor
Sightron 10-50x60 SIII
Now to get it sighted & dialed in.

Curious on experiences with.30 45gr. Vs .50. JSB and or same weight JTS for long range competition 100yds?

BCSA (Binghamton, NY) - May 11th, 2024 Match Report

Broome County Sportsmens Association (BCSA) Field Target Match Report

First match of 2024 is in the books! In typical fashion, which seems to be the norm for our matches, the forecast for this months match was all over the place. The early weather forecast was calling for a 70% chance of showers then down to 15% chance of rain then back up to 50% and on and on and on! We opted to setup on Thursday evening during one of our dry times for the week. That was definitely the correct decision since Friday turned into an all day light soaking rain! A gamble was taken and an email was sent saying that the match was a go!





We arrived just before sunrise on Saturday morning and started pulling strings and setting up the canopies in case of any more rain or showers. Just as we were finalizing setting up the course, Brian VanLiew arrived and gave us a hand setting up the sight-in range. Everything was set for the day.








We had 20 people on hand for the day which included 3 new competitors, a first timer to our range and a couple of returning visitors! Don Sherman, Shane Mahosky and Jason Cain made BCSA their first official FT matches, while Hector Medina and Todd Banks made returning visits to our range. Todd brought along Ken Javurek as his copilot. This was only Ken’s first visit and just his second match with his first being at Todd’s match in Salem, NY last week.





The rain and showers never materialized and the day consisted of overcast to blue skies. Temperatures ranged from the mid 40’s to upper 50’s with winds from 4 to 12 mph. The every switchy swirling winds definitely added a challenge to the day and the scores showed that. At times the wind was light at the muzzle yet had over an inch or so of movement at the target. Other times it could be moderate to heavy at the muzzle with almost zero movement at the target. A very interesting day for sure.

The course of fire was 10 lanes with 3 targets per lane. 2 shots per target with the shooting order being left, middle, right. There was also the usual 1 standing lane and 1 kneeling lane. The stats for the days 60 shot course are as follows:





I pre-warned everyone that the targets were all lubed BUT sat out in the all day rain so be prepared…………well, everything went well and no cold lines!



The wind took it’s toll on everyone and showed us all who was boss! Karen Reis was able to lock in high score for the day with a 43 out of 60 shooting. Second place was a 3 way tie. 6 points behind Karen was Trevor Davies, Rich Sarama and Rick Vaeth all with 37’s. Brian VanLiew, Open PCP, had a 38 out of 60. Paul Manktelow, Hunter Piston, had a 36 out of 60. And Hector Medina, WFTF Piston, had a 26 out of 60. The remaining scores can be seen below.

After the conclusion of the rifle match, everyone jumped in and helped pick up and pack away the rifle targets and pull the strings for the High Power targets. With everyone either pulling in the used targets, winding strings, pulling strings for the high power targets……..it looked like a well oiled efficient machine!! Thank You All, all the help is greatly appreciated!

Before the start of the High Power match, we had the drawing to determine our 50/50 winner. This time we enlisted the help of Janet Manktelow to be the official ticket puller! After mixing up the tickets in the bucket, the winning ticket was drawn. The winner this time around was Stephan!!! We also drew a second ticket for those that participated in the 50/50. This was for a Tyrannosaurus swinger target we named Sheba. Rick Vaeth was the winner and will have to explain to his wife why he came home with another woman…..

Concluded below in reply.....

Going to the range tomorrow for the first time with the Evol. I want to accuracy test and chrono about six diferent pellets and slugs. All in about the 25 or so grain range.

Hi All,

I am looking for a vendor who can ship me a breech seal with a reasonable cost for postage. I am located in the US. The domestic source I found with the part I needed was AoA and they wanted to charge me almost $19 for shipping a $7 dollar part... yea... should have ordered it when I brought pellets and other stuff from them... but needs were time and use driven... and my current source is Utah Arms.

Found no one in the classified section.

No local air gun supply stores or gunsmiths locally.

Club members unable to provide spare parts.

Seal "wanted" is for a 40 year old Weihrauch HW35.

I have no problem buying extras and keeping a backup supply. USPS first class postage in a small envelope should just be a few bucks.

Reading up, understand there is a common size for the HW line of break action gun... am I correct? Additionally, is this a part that require replacement frequently? What indicators when a new one is needed? Any lessons learned (best practices) on how to replace that part be appreciated.

Thanks

Took a short break from life and chased some Northern Lights, back to airgunning in the morning.

Thanks to @Elis5173 i finally have a 79g, this completes the set of my Smith Wesson pellet guns. 78g, 79g and the 77a

First thanks everyone, I've been having such a blast in this new hobby!

I'm thinking of grabbing some new toys to enhance my enjoyment, but not sure if I'm going too far overboard.

Currently I have Leshiy 2 in .30, Huben in .25 and a Bushbuck. For compressor I have a cheap Yong Heng and it gets used about an hour a day to top up 4 scba tanks.


Firstly is upgrading to the Alkin W31 - just wondering if it's really worth it?
Next is the Corbin Press, was thinking about grabbing it because I've been spending over $1000 a month on slugs so this one I think is a no brainer, I would have paid for this long ago I think.

And I think last even though I'm pretty happy with my 3 guns I'm thinking about adding a couple more in like maybe the Western Rattler because it has more power as well as the new Skout EVO when it comes out.
