Projectiles  NLA Selling a bunch of .22 cal pellets (mostly JSB/FX)

If you haven't seen my other threads, I'm getting out of the hobby and selling off the last of my supplies.

Here I'm selling a bunch of .22 cal pellets. These are all new still, except the H&N terminator pack which is almost full. These were mostly bought from Trenier and stored in my cabinet and haven't moved since.

I'm only selling everything here as a set so I can limit the number of transactions I need to make. If you want something here, you have to take them all.

Here's an inventory of what's in the set:
  • JSB RS - 13 grain - 3 tins (new)
  • JSB Exact - 15 grain - 1 tin (new)
  • JSB Hades - 15 grain - 2 tins (new)
  • FX - 15 grain - 4 tins (new)
  • JSB Heavy - 18 grain (lot 1) - 4 tins (new)
  • JSB Heavy - 18 grain 5.53 mm (lot 2) - 3 tins (new)
  • FX - 18 grain - 3 tins (new)
  • Crosman Hollowpoints - 14 grain - 6 tins (new)
  • H&N terminator - 16 grain - 1 tin (used mostly full)
That's 27 tins of pellets, 26 new and 1 mostly full.

Price is $320 total shipped firm. PayPal F&F or add 3%.

For any guitar players out there, I will trade for a small Fender tube amp or other 6v6 or 6L6 based tube amps (class A). Examples are Fender Musicmaster Bass Amp, Fender Junior Pro, Fender Champ 5 watt, Fender Blues Jr. , Fender Princeton (w/ more added by me). Will also consider a Peavey Classic 20 or 30.

You know you can't help hoarding ammo....

Taipan  Taipan Veteran 2 Tactical 500 mm cal 0.22

Hello, about two weeks ago I bought this rifle, and I am still unable to find the ideal velocity and the appropriate pellets. I always had the idea that rifles with a CZ barrel were very friendly with any type of pellets, but now I am not very convinced. If anyone has this rifle and has already found the right velocity and pellet or slug, please comment. I leave a photo of my rifle.

Thank you

FX  tuned to perfection.

Hi I purchased a FX Impact M3 a couple months ago from Palm Beach Air guns. It is a .22cal with a 600mm barrel and I believe a 480cc bottle. This is the second Impact I have owned so I am familiar with the platform. I felt it could do better than the way it was factory tuned so I started messing around with it. I got it shooting solid groups at 55yards with great economy in the shot count, Then a couple weeks later I wanted to try some slugs. I upped the reg pressure to around 135 bar and set the micro adjuster to about 4 and was sending 27gr H&N 2s 960fps and getting dime size groups at 55yards(y). I mostly shoot paper in my yard so I reset it for 18gr pellets. These are my results. From a 250bar fill I'm getting 7 mags (28rounds per) and still above the reg Shooting 18gr fx pellets 917fps average with a 1.5 S/D. BTW I keep my guns in a safe I pull them out and put them back by the barrel. I haven't experienced the poi shift I have read about. Here are a few pictures. The wind was mostly from behind me and slightly lt to rt 5-10mph. no holding for the wind. First 5 shots of the day at 55yards. I didn't include pictures but the valve adjuster is set at 4 lines.

Huben  Huben GK1 V3 with V1 wrap

Just got my GK1 in the mail.
It is marked V3 but has the V1 carbon fiber wrap on the air cylinder.
It also has the original single screw on top of the main block instead of the two I expected to find on the V3. (Pictured below from Huben3Dparts website)

Thoughts?
Curious because I haven’t seen any examples of the V3 with this air cylinder pattern.

Other  Air pistol popularity gaining momentum

Having witnessed air pistols excruciatingly snail-paced growth in popularity over the last six decades plus, it warms my heart to see that growth now gaining speed and momentum. 'Witness' the fact that the Pistol division and Hunter Pistol class were both second in popularity to all divisions and classes at last weekends Cajun Classic field target Grand Prix competition weekend; itself one of the most respected and popular of all field target Grand Prix events.

And in related good pistol news, manufacturers are responding with phenomenal air pistols aplenty (relatively speaking, of course). Some of those perform beyond the imagination of most airgunners and shooters of all kinds-

Friendly reminder to clean your barrel

So..........

Probably should have cleaned the barrel of my new toy when I first got it (duh). It was shooting well and figured it was clean enough. Welp.

First two dry patches felt like I was pulling the patches through peanut butter. After I pulled those through I peeked down through the barrel and could physically see the buildup starting to seperate from the rifling.

20240415_185607.jpg


Switched to 2x Hoppes soaked patches and let them soak for a few. You can actually see chunks of lead buildup on the patches.

20240415_193337.jpg


After the patches starting coming through fairly clean I put 10 down range and then 10 more on paper.

20240415_191641.jpg


Not counting the flier (it wasn't but I won't get into that) 9/10 landed in a neat little 0.35", MOA group at 32yds. Not too shabby for a 20ftlb .177 break barrel. Its officially too dark to keep testing but I have some very high hopes now :)

20240415_191717.jpg


I'm curious if anyone has ever seen buildup like this on a break barrel? I pretty routinely pull a dry patch or 2 through every couple hundred shots so I haven't. I'm wondering if maybe someone decided to give slugs a try in this thing before I got my hands on it

I will take part of the blame, I sent it F&F paypal.

Kinda makes you loose faith in your fellow man.


So I'm still looking for a Hatsan AT P2 QE.

Thanx for looking.


P.S. I was asked to post this here.

Best no cost upgrade

I have some good working inexpensive scopes that needs a tool to adjust, i also have some scopes that have been destroyed or fogged or don't hold zero, and have adjustable turrents without needing a screw driver or coin, so a two minute job swapping the turrents will put a smile on your face. The threads seem to be universal on all i have encountered.

Theyre getting comfortable

Since it's the off season, and the garden isn't going yet, I have laid off the squirrels save for one that got in the chicken feeder.

This guy has been living in my maple tree, so I've been leaving out extra sunflower seeds and dried corn. Figure I can fatten him up, and maybe he'll tell his buddies where the good stuff is!

I was maybe 10 feet away. He didn't even flinch when i walked over. Looks young too.

Huben  GK1: What Silencer for Backyard Quiet? (or almost)

GK1: What Silencer for Backyard Quiet?



Based on your personal experience:
What silencer would I need to get the GK1 down to "backyard quiet" or almost so?

Specs:
.22cal
15FPE (650fps with a 16gr)


I understand that bigger and longer gets the gun quieter, but I'd like to stick with the minium length necessary....


Thanks for your input. 😊

Visited the GX Pump Web Site...

...and I happened to notice this picture of the installation of the black inline filter.

some-precautions-for-maintaining-gx-pumps-pcp-air-compressors-324382.jpg


I noticed that the filter is installed before the gauge block, not after, and virtually all of the installs I've seen have the filter after the block. This seems to suggest that this is the preferred way to install the filter, but maybe not.

I've seen a similar picture before, maybe on AGN, and I'm trying to find out if the 3D printer file for the filter holder is available. I've looked in all the usual places and I know I've seen this holder before...possibly someone here can help.

TIA!

Tuning  best caliber for a 12-16 fpe springer?

I'm a Weihrauch springer fanboy and proud of it. I've owned and shot the HW 97K, 50S, 30S, and 98. All of them are in .177. I like .177 caliber because of the faster velocities, flatter trajectories(at reasonable springer distances), and reduced dwell time.

My primary reasons for owning a springer is to shoot accurately first and to use it for hunting second. For these uses, having a flatter trajectory and larger PBR is advantageous.

The ideal velocity for most pellets is between 8-900 fps...generally. Faster than that and the transonic starts to play havoc with stability and much slower than that and the increased dwell time and exaggerated trajectories are going to become a problem.

A .177 8.64 grain pellet at 850 fps is just shy of 14 fpe...right where the midpower springers shine and can be quite accurate.

I could see a .20 caliber springer being good for those 14-16 fpe power levels because you can maintain reasonable velocities, etc...but .22? Even a .20 at 15 fpe is barely doing 700 fps with the popular 13.73 grain pellet. Especially, for the sub 12 fpe guns in .20 or .22...those loopy trajectories have to be a killer. Am I missing something here?

.177 is the best caliber for sub 14 fpe springers, period. Prove me wrong ;)
