This Royale is a dependable and accurate rifle. The tank has been upgraded to a talon tunes 480cc carbon fiber tank to reduce the weight. Much better for offhand shooting now. Cosmetically she shows signs of wear but no major defects. Comes with 2 mags and a .25 moderator that is very effective at reducing sound.

$900 shipped with Leupold 3-9x scope

$750 shipped without scope

I am considering an air pistol purchase. My primary purpose would be to get some sight alignment/trigger control/follow-through practice.
I'm considering the Daisy Avanti 747, the Gamo Compact model, or the IZH-Baikal 46M.
I would appreciate any input or alternative suggestions.

I just received a bunch of tins of these new MRD “Lights” today.

I’m hopeful that they are a good match with DS Wolverine R HP. It shoots both the 18.13g and 25.39g very well, but I have a feeling that 21g should be about perfect velocity-wise…

…. I’ll post results when I get a decent wind day.

Posing this to owners that have had theirs for awhile. Looking at one and thinking I would need 40 top offs of my 60 min tanks to break even money wise on that compressor. Looking at a good 40 hrs of run time assuming 3k to 4300 top off is about an hour ?? Just curious how many have a good 50 hrs + on theirs ?? Also has anyone rebuilt one ? Was it straightforward and were you able to get parts from target forge ? Thanks guys.

Wow what a fun piece of technology! I'm not big on the latest and greatest stuff especially when it comes to electronics but when I saw the hype around these and the price I knew I couldn't resist for long. My first day/night scope and can say it's pretty awesome do far. Really fits nice on my Taipan Shorty .22.
Got everything updated and mounted. Sighted in at night time at 30yds. Tested the LRF and ballistic calculator and dead on at 50yds elevation wise. Only problem was it was about 3/4" to the right of target. There was some wind so I'm not 100% if it was that or not. I'm used to lining my crosshairs up to bore on normal scopes and then level scope. Obviously no option for that here so hoping that isn't an issue?? I'll test real early in the morning to see. Does seem centered on rail though so hope it's good and just the wind. I do like the built in gyroscope to check my cant. I can't wait to do pesting and start recording some shots!

Just wanted to share. I bought one a while ago for my Air Arms s510 and really liked it. For 3D printed it has remained feeling solid. I just recently bought two more and had one custom made for a Marauder since no one made one!
I love this gun.
If you have been looking, dont hesitate. JB3DPD on ebay.

Sometimes things become airgun related unexpectedly. My family pet conure, Pico, absolutely hates the sound of the pcp compressor filling pcps and extremely vocal about it.

Logically rats and squirrels are both rodents and biologically related. I've been told squirrels are just rats with a fully tail. Many people hunt and eat squirrels, but few in USA or Europe would consider eating rats. Why? If New Yorkers loved to eat rats as much as these people on Vietnam their rat problems would go away.

Always looking for free meal.

I thought when Air Force first bought RAW you could still go the a Rapid Air Weapons website and buy your RAW straight from the inventor. Is that still the case?

What is this site? https://www.rapidairworx.com/

If I ordered a TM1000 would it come from Air Force? https://www.rapidairworx.com/category-s/149.htm

I may need to change My expectations? LOL

RAW HM1000 was leaking. I installed new seals today and put the action back in the stock. Charged to 3,000 psi and all seemed good.

Loaded pellet, pulled trigger and nothing. The hammer went forward and hit the valve but no air release. Valve sounded soft, not bound.

Went to remove the bottle and the block with the reg easily spun in the block. So the reg never pressurized. Trouble now is I can not remove the bottle and the stock wraps around the bottle so can not remove the action. What are my options? Drill bit in the foster and tap with hammer? Can I unscrew the gauge until it vents? Tank has 3k in it and trying not to die.

I have an email off to Martin.


Next question. What did I do wrong on the reseal. All I did was take old seals out and put new ones in.

Back in Dec. 2023 @WilliamG posted a picture (below) of his RAW with a cool empty chamber indicator. I’ve never seen them for sale anywhere so I made one today.
I had a small teflon ball from an old diaphragm pump I tore apart. I drilled an .082 diameter hole almost all the way through and then 90° to that I drilled and tapped a 10-32 hole almost all the way through for a set screw. I inserted about a 10” length of .080” diameter weed whip line into the hole and locked it in with the set screw. I took a stone to the end of the weed whip line to put a radius on it so that I didn’t have a sharp corner that could cut an O ring.
Thanks WilliamG !

Guys / girls / racoons / rabbits / et-al -

When buying used guns or equipment...DO YOUR DUE DILIGENT, RESEARCH, HOMEWORK...before handing over your hard earned cash !!!

I just watched a gun (apparently) sell for a way over priced amount. This is per the seller's combined, comments to me and his, "FOR SALE" ad.

NOT saying names or the gun sold. JUST BE CAREFULL .

I remember buying this gun 20 or so years ago. One of 10 made. It was 1K with five magazines. I really didn't want to spend that kind of money, but the seller wouldn't budge. Glad I did now. Rare as hen's teeth and incredibly accurate.

For sale Edgun Leshiy 2 450mm Alfa barrel and also Reflex Kit with Behemoth moderator.

I want to purchase a new scope for my Black Ops Sportsman 900 pellet rifle. Can anyone please explain what the numbers represent. I am new at this and I need some education on scopes.

Can a bottle be added to Atomic XR ?

Is there a way to change caliber to .177 from .22?

Decided to make a barrel shroud for my tomahawk, this fits the longbow to and probably a hw80 but not tried it . Made from seamless steel tube 20mm OD with 2mm wall . Reduced at breach end to match the breach block . 2xm4 grub screws on the underside at the rear , tad of bonding when fitted . And a bit of brass to . Polished up ready for bluing . Last picture if finished blued

This is my Impact Arms RM 100/Theoben Crusader in .22. Restored to like new condition by David Slade. I think he did an outstanding job. For those that don’t know the Impact Arms RM 100 rifles were produced at the Theoben factory after Theoben closed. The factory was bought out minus the Theoben name. The remaining parts were assembled in to rifles under the name Impact Arms. Mine was made on a Crusader action. David Slade is the owner of Airgunwerks one of the premier places to have work done on springer/piston air-rifles.

Notos less than 50 pellets thru it. I purchased it new from Pyramyd.

Includes Pistol grips - never installed, fiber optic sights - never installed, 2 magazines, saber clamp, Single-shot tray, 3-9x40 Optics R4 Reticle Crosshair Scope with Mounts, and the original box it came in.

I have about 450 with tax in it. I would rather sell the complete package than deal with shipping several things separately so how about $325 shipped or without the saber clamp $275

PPFF or add fees, venmo, apple pay, check has to clear bank all are ok.

thinking about buying one ...................... any advice ? what about CF or AL tank ?

I’ve just gotten back into the realm of PCPs and am enjoying it immensely. I primarily focus on plinking (within 50 yards) and occasional target practice in my garage (10 yards).

While I prefer not to use a bench, I truly appreciate the accuracy it affords. I do not formally compete — my only competition is myself.

With a longstanding affinity for photography, I’ve accumulated multiple tripods of different sizes. I decided to purchase an arca adapter and mounted the Alpha on several high end tripod heads. Even the rather expensive ones (heavy duty fluid and ball heads) didn’t seem to work as the weight distribution on the Alpha Wolf is rather far back. I finally settled on a Leophoto MA-30L, and it successfully keeps the Alpha in position despite the weight imbalance.

After discovering that the MA-30L solved the balance problem, I soon realized that a lateral wobble while aiming was extremely difficult to reduce. Despite watching multiple videos online, I improved to some degree but could not tame the beast to my satisfaction. I know what you’re thinking . . . I should have just practiced more. However that wasn’t the point.

I experimented with multiple tripods and gadgets I built — some suspended from the main tripod and others mounted on a separate tripod. Finally after lots of experimentation, the lateral wobble improved considerably.

However despite some degree of success, another challenge immediately became apparent — the ease of adjustability and changing aim was challenging at best. Frankly it just wasn’t enjoyable adjusting the aim from target to target on a 25-yard multiple target sheet.

Finally online I found a Saber Tactical Pro Bench Monopod, a rear rest that had potential. I contacted the company and discussed this challenge at length with them. They actually tapped the base with a 3/8 16 thread for tripod mounting and shipped it the very same day.

Frankly I could not have been more pleased. It works great, is rock solid, and makes shooting without a bench highly accurate and enjoyable. Setup is quick and it’s precision and ease of adjustment serve my purpose perfectly. In fact, I’m so pleased that I decided to photograph the setup to share with this audience.

While I could not find much online, I’m certain that I’ cannot be the only one struggling with considerable lateral wobble on a tripod.

While this post is not intended for hunters, benchrest shooters, or those who line up and shoot rapidly in varying settings, I hope it provides a rather effective e solution for those who prefer to use a tripod for target practice.

I extend thanks to Saber Tactical for a great design and superb service, and to this forum for a host of valuable insights that helps us better enjoy and advance in this sport.

TX 200 was do'en in the fps.They said about 700 was average?so i dug out the old tx and it was cold and shot it 3or 4 time's with cp 14.5 and came up with this?i think if it was in room temp it would have got up to 740 or 750 that's what she used to do.Now this is a old gun?any hoot here;s the pic.

For those tethering a carbon fiber tank to their airgun using a Saber Tactical Tank Valve ST0031 - have you run into any problems? I have been told/advised that the ST tank valve is not designed to be used for tethering and that there may be problems with this setup. My ST tank valve has blown o-rings a couple of times and I'm told it may be from tethering.
