I am selling my Red Wolf 22. No leaks no problems
$1650 shipped

I'm trying to find a .177 pellet full auto pistol, smg or rifle.
Is the Hatsan Blitz the only one on other market?

Caliber: .177 / 4.5mm PELLET
Full Auto (semi as well a plus but must be full auto)
Small form factor a plus like pistol or smg
Rifle as last resort.

I can only think of the Hatsan Blitz.

This rifle has been a safe queen for a number of years. Would probably need seals. Scope stop. Muzzle break. Beeman blue line scope $300.00 shipped lower 48

i have an FWB 124 but i am not sure about todays market $$ . Anyone have a good idea what one is worth ? just a stock 124 .

much appreciated , Stan

...and it's not 3D printed!

We are not getting away from printing but will start offering some new products that are CNC'd out of aluminum.

This will be a limited release to test the waters but hope we will continue to be able to produce a mix of high quality accessories both in 3D and aluminum.



Additionally, proud to say that we are supporting machinists in the USA and will not be outsourcing to China!

UPDATE:

Turns out to be a leak from the fill probe.

I need to find out how to fix that.

I wish I had put a balloon on it weeks earlier.

Sandy (He Him)








I have had leaks on my Avenge-X since I received them and I've sent them back to Air Venturi for repair or replacement and Air Venturi sent it back allegedly repaired. I've just now found out that they said that they found no leak when I returned the gun to them for repair of course they never told me that they just sent me the gun back as if it were fixed. I've documented the leaks in numerous photographs that are time and date stamped. The leak has progressed to from 4000 to empty in less than an hour and Air Venturi is telling me "find somebody else to help you (me)". Refusing to honor their warranty. I've had great experiences with Air Venturi in the past and found their support Superior but now I just don't understand how they're telling me to take a hike. I'm not going to accept that. This is the second Avenge-X that I received with leaks and could not be resolved. I tried working closely with Pyramyd Air and Air Venturi to find and fix leak to no avail. I even asked them to sell me a new block or a complete action and they said they don't sell those.

Soaping it down all over failed to reveal any bubbles. The Avenge-X is unusable as it now leaks from 4000 psi to 0 in less than an hour. More like 30 minutes. Nothing audible.

The time and date stamps on the images show the progression of the leak.


This is not a problem with Pyramyd Air, this ball is squarely in Air Venturi's court.

Alright I’m about to order a GK1 finally and am trying to decide which caliber will be best. I will be doing a far amount of pesting and target shooting. I will probably turn it into a mini carbine at some point. Keep in mind my compressor only fills to like 310, so I doubt I’ll be filling it to max. I would like to get at least one mag with decent FPE.


I will likely shoot pellets but I’m curious how well it shoots slugs too.

Nice little reward for watching all of Gerhard's video:

A couple of days ago, i was visiting a friend to check out some of his springers when he took out a rifle case and layed it down in front of me. As soon as the cover was open and I caught my first glimpse, I knew exactly what I was looking at. "That's a Giffard!!!" He seemed surprised that I knew the rifle. Its a magnificent rifle, powered by carbonic gas ( dry ice was placed into the reservoir and as it went from solid to gas, it created the pressure which the gun uses to propel the round ball that the gun is intended to shoot.) These were produced from the late 1800s - the early 1700s. They were offered in 3 calibers, if I'm not mistaken, 4.5mm, 6mm and 8mm. Tom Gaylor examines one of these rifles in the Pyramid Air Blog


This particular rifle was still holding pressure. My friend said that he received it that way.

For a guy like me, the chance just to handle this wonderful piece of history was an experience that I'll never forget.

With heavy heart I share that Mike Smith passed away earlier today, from complications from an ongoing battle with cancer.

He was what I refer to as "a field target friend" and that's the context I'm going to keep for this. I'll let his eulogy be at the funeral.

Mike was the man behind "Mike's Dandy Targets" (MDT Targets) which some of you likely own. These were the smaller version of the heavy duty targets that he and Ben Spencer sold as S&S Targets (I believe the S's were Smith and Spencer). And some of you likely own those too. They're the best field targets I've ever personally experienced. He also made and sold "KYL" Know Your Limits targets, and again, they were the best money could buy.

He was a perfectionist at making targets, and also a perfectionist at shooting. Whether it was field target, benchrest, ultimate field target, 10meter, etc, I can't think of anybody here in AZ that has had more perfect scores in ft matches than Mike. He used to shoot what we call "Unlimited" or "Freestyle" class, essentially using a tripod and a laser rangefinder. He shot a lot of perfect matches that way. Some folks gave him grief about the class he was shooting so he jumped over to Hunter class a couple years ago, trading in for a bipod and using his scope to range at 16x. And he shot a lot of perfect scores in Hunter class too. Folks knew that it was gonna get serious when he pulled out that green and gray Thomas, topped with the Khales scope. And that was one of the things I loved about Mike. He was a serious competitor, but still had lots of fun. He'd be laughing and joking and teasing and still get a perfect score. He was a fun guy to be squadded with. And I'll miss not ever getting to shoot a match squadded with him again.

Lots of texts amongst us Arizona field target shooters went out today, and some of them suggested I make a post about Mike, and other's shared a few thoughts about him. I'd like this to be that, a place for any of the field target crowd that would like to, to comment about him.

And I'll start with an experience that my older son still talks about. Mike and I were squadded together at a monthly match at the Perry Pit match site, just south of Flagstaff, AZ. This would have been around 5 years ago, making my son about 5 at the time. Colben hadn't started competing yet, but he'd keep score for me and my squadmate. Throughout the whole match Mike complimented Colben about how good of a score-keeping job he was doing. And of course it was a bit tongue in cheek, but a 5 year doesn't pick up on stuff like that. At the end of the match, Mike presented Colben with a $1 dollar bill and told him he deserved to be paid for keeping score for us the whole match. Coulda been $100 dollar bill for all that 5 year old cared, and Colben would have been just as ecstatic. Mike made Colben's day, and mine too. Since then, and at any match Colben attended with me, Mike would always walk up and shake Colben's hand and treat him like any other "field target friend" despite his young age. Mike was Colben's friend just as much as mine.

Me and Colben are gonna miss Mike at matches.

For sale is this APEKS tank valve (7/8" - 14 UNF) removed from a 74 cu ft Omega air tank. The valve works perfectly and the hand wheel is smooth as butter. It is easy to stop the fill exactly where you desire. I bought this tank last winter and have been using it for some time. My problem is that when filling some of my air guns to 300 bar , the pressure needed to bleed the air with a push button bleed valve is a bit much for 68 yr old arthritic fingers. Update : after conferring with a fellow AGN member , the stiff spring has been relieved to a more usable pressure for us normal folks ! As you can see from the pictures , the previous owner resorted to either pliers or vice grips from time to time. I have not had to use such drastic measures with the bleed .Other than that , the valve is 100% and ready to go to work. I am including the tank o-ring as well as protectors for the male foster and the tank inlet. Selling for $135 NOW $120 shipped and insured with tracking to the conus . Non interested in trades or offers at this time. Please deal by pm. Thanks for looking. Herb

After all the ideas of how to easily tune a RAW HM1000x, this is the current setup which turns out to be fairly simple. You can either set the OEM regulator or as in my case a HUMA adjustable regulator to as high a BAR setting as you wish, in my case 195 BAR.

I will control the delivered air pressure to the rifle via an external dual air pressure regulator. To adjust the hammer spring allowing large or small adjustments I will remove the cheek pad which only requires loosening one bolt. To reposition the cheek pad I simply place a caliper between the cheek pad and stock at the distance it was at prior to removal.

Tethering the RAW HM1000x this way allows adjusting air pressure without the need to remove an air bottle to make adjustments to the HUMA adjustable regulator, or having to remove the OEM regulator to make the adjustment.

I’ve noted the pressure reading differential between the external dual air regulator and the newly installed Sekhmet digital pressure gauge which is 1.5 BAR, not much.

Initial tuning will be with a wide range of projectiles, but first I’ll test .30 caliber slugs to see if they shoot well out of my rifle at 100 yards and at what pressure and hammer spring settings. If I can find a setup, next is to note the provided air pressure and hammer spring setting and replace the tethering adapters with either regulator adjusting them to match the indicated air pressure on the Sekhmet gauge and comparing the muzzle velocity of the projectile to when the rifle was tethered. If close I can fine tune the hammer spring setting or if needed to make minor regulator adjustments.

Tethering allows me to make slightly coarser pressure adjustments quickly testing a wide range of projectiles and pellets. For anyone interested in the adapter parts, here they are:

You need the following HUMA adapters + Extra RAW O-rings

● 1/8" BSP male to 1/4" BSP male adaptor - https://huma-air.com/1-8-bsp-male-to-1-4-bsp-male-adaptor/
● Foster Male to G1/8" BSP Female Adaptor - https://huma-air.com/foster-male-to-g1-8-bsp-female-adaptor/
● Rubber Steel Washer G1/8 (3 Pack Bonded Seals) - https://huma-air.com/rubber-steel-washer-g1-8-bonded-seal/
● Fat O-rings from RAW, part number #R-AC-OR-00006 Bottle "O" rings (pack of 5)

Make sure you insert the bonded seal between male and female adapters as shown as well as the fat O-ring on the male to male adapter that screws into the action block.

This was a brand spank'n new P-rod, never been fired, my neighbor gave it to me. It was made in 2018 so I decided to order everything new from Tim Hill and rebuild it (105 kit, hammer, springs, PEEK striker, depinger, moderator, gauge block, and gauge). I rebuilt it, shot hundreds of rounds through it over the last 2 weeks, developed a leak, took it apart and when I did this happened. I met resistance when pushing it out, not sure what happened.

My question is can I just buff out the gouges with Cratex (fine carbide in a rubber matrix), re-gasket and re-install?

700mm Sniper Slugger! Included is a 3D moderator, 2 Orion magazines ($65 value), 400cc bottle. 13 gram hammer weight and slug pin probe + power kit installed in rifle ($70 value). Has a stiffer Huma Air 56mm hammer spring ($15 value).

Currently tuned for 24.8 (.218) grain NSA slugs. Regulator is set at ~125 bar (more or less). Best 5 shot group at indoor 50 yard range shown below with washed and lubed NSA slugs.

Polished barrel with JB bore paste and Kroil.

All of this will be kept safe and secure and shipped in a padded UTG soft case.

Note: This rifle was initially a .30 cal; it has since been converted to a .22 cal. That is why you see the TalonTunes .30 cal grouping


No bipod included

Comes with a new 6-24x50 Mil-dot scope

Whole package for $1280 SHIPPED TYD
Or, no scope $1200 shipped TYD
Paypal or Zelle

Excellent shape all around. Vortek 12fpe spring and guides installed with Macarri piston seal. Smooth cocking and nice firing cycle. Have no idea of the velocity, just know it's much better than with the factory high power spring.

There are some light scratches at the muzzle where the muzzle weight goes past the threads and down over the barrel a couple of inches. They look way worse in the photo than in real life. And, the cocking handle/brake cover everything.

The gun does have a slight "bark" to the shot and a different muzzle device stops this but obviously doesnt do anything for the spring sounds.

Stock is in overall great shape. No digs, dents, scratches. Scope and rings are not included in the price, but if you're interested we can work something out. Its a mil dot Mueller APT with 30mm double strap BKL rings.

Asking $650 shipped in the CONUS. Or, if you want the beech stock the gun came with instead, it's $475. Paypal friends and family or add 4% to cover fees. Will also accept a USPS money order.

I could tell you that Chuck @Longbrownbox went 14/14 on my field targets, but I’ll let him tell you what he thinks of the DRS 500

I have recently had an interest in obtaining a rear rest for my benchrest shooting. I checked around the different sites and vendors and found them kinda expensive for what they offered. I looked at what people posted and noticed a person using a little "car jack" type of device to elevate the rest. The name for this device is called a Lab Lift or Lab Jack. These are plentiful on Amazon or Alibaba and can be purchased for as low as 15 dollars(plus shipping)


This one is nice and simple, but it didn't have a way to lock the position in place. Friends in the forum pointed me to a lab jack that had a wheel with a retaining bolt. A little more expensive, but have better action and less play in the wheel..nice anodized finish..under 70 dollars.


Then, i wanted a way to track across a target so i needed something to move left and right. I thought i could use somethin like a Cross-vice, but they are much too big and heavy and only needed 1 axis. I stumbled on to a page that had linear tables on it, and i thought it would be perfect

Be careful about the height of these tables..if they are too tall it may prevent you from being able to use it for the disatances you need.
The one thing that i really didn't think about was how to attach them. I thought i was going to bolt them together, but the clearance for the heads(not recessed in the spots i wanted to use) is very low and the pre-made holes are a 1/4 inch off. So i am just going to bond them together with a metal epoxy like this.


Save yourself some cash and build your own

My shooting buddy bought a Vector scope form Optics Planet. Box came sealed and empty. He is getting a run around at this point. So he ordered another from Amazon. Scope came, empty box. They are telling him contact the mfg. Do with this information what you think prudent for you. I fill bad because I recommended Optics Planet to him as I have never had a problem excep the following. I will say I had a really bad experience with an OP sales rep once when I asked for a veterans discount. Either he hated the military or the fact I sounded Caucasian, he gave me the shuffle. I waited 25 min, called back to another salesperson and was handled in a good manner. I repoted the incident .

Hey guys, I received my Notos and am having a lot of fun with it. I have a question. If I fill the gun to 3500psi, turn the hammer spring screw all the way in and take 5 shots with 14.3gr Crosman Premier HP pellets I get an average of 770 fps. If I refill to 3500psi and take five more shots with the same pellets but turn the hammer spring screw out 1.75 turns from full in the avg is 761fps. If I do all the same again and turn out the hammer spring screw all the way out which is 3,5 turns the avg is 751fps. According to the manual the fps should drop way way more that I am getting when I turn the hammer spring screw out. What am I missing?
