This might be dating me a little bit, but many of you out there still remember the great comedian, Red Skelton. This is inspired by him. If there isn't another bird a despise almost as much as the greasy invasive starling, it's the pompous ruckus grackle. The grackle is back in bigger numbers then before, maybe due to the mild winter in this part of the country. Woke up to a gray cloudy misting dismal day and resigned myself to a shootless day. But alas, the dreaded grackke was settin in the top of a tree a mere 50 yds away as if chiding me in his squawking voice. I tried to resist the temptation, but my trigger finger started to twitch! I grabbed my trusty 22 Mav Sniper and beaded in the grackle, Gertrude, sitting on the tippity top of the tree. Gertrude sit there squawking as grackles do presenting a side profile to me. I lined up the crosshairs on her wing area and pulled the trigger. Anchored her with nary a flap. As soon as I did this, her mate, Heathcliff landed in the same spot looking for Gertrude and like the compassionate gentleman that I am, I helped Heathcliff find her by sending him down to her! I used 27.5 gr .2175 NSA HP slugs fired at about 960FPS. The photos show on both the barely discernable entry and the blown out exits. No more robbing the bird feeders and chasing the protected birds away! Both Gertrude and Heathcliff together forever! And for the trolls---

I’m in the market for a new scope and I am considering placing an order for one of these new “lightweight“ 30mm Arken’s…. Anyone here using one of these yet?
How do you like it?


I am still open to other recommendations for something similar/comparable as well. Looks like these Arken’s are 2-4 weeks out on shipping currently...
This will be going on a Brocock Sniper XR Magnum in .22 for reference and I’d like something with 20+ power but I’d also like to keep the weight down.

Thanks!

I've tried my Fatboy on several different guns, with little love, money fer nuthin. It actually sorta works on pistols (under 700fps). But yeah, looks a bit silly.

Messing around today, I took it apart, removed the felt or whatever the black stuff is that's wrapped around the baffle assembly.
WHAT, will work, as tested on my full length, RTI Prophet Performance I. Shooting at about 820fps.

Note - the info below was tested indoors, by ear only. No cheap, $50 gadgets, no million dollar, dB (proper way of writing the symbol) chamber and test equipment.

- The factory black (felt ?) stuff, wrapped around the baffle. Quieter than nothing, but not back yard friendly by any stretch (even at my low fps !).
- Nothing, just the big can, with a bare baffle. Not much difference than with the factory wrap material, slightly louder.
- Closed cell foam, around the baffle. Slightly...louder than the factory black wrap.
- Open cell foam, around the baffle. About the same as the factory wrap.
- Old Levi's, pant leg material, wrapped semi-tightly around the baffle. Woo, what the hell, this actually worked pretty well.

Now I can hear much more of the mechanical stuff under my ear, from the receiver, than with any of the other tests ! The sound is slightly softer also, much of the "crack" is gone.
Yes, the factory screen was and is still in place for all of the tests.

Worked pretty well in my case, give it a try if you have an old pair of Levi's (brand) laying around .
No guarantee implied !!

Hello everyone
I want to buy FX crown MK2 synthetic in.22 cal,
Plz guide me frnds should i buy this airgun or not
Because some body told me that this airgun has some leakage issues and accuracy issues aldo

I was resisting buying that barrel tuner for a good long time and got it only when everybody had at least one ... I got one for my .25x700mm barrel.
Then after several months the barrel tensioners surfaces, me again playing smart and not buying it yet, but so far I cannot say the tuner is/was a wooow improvement.
My current winter project is about swapping my MK2 barrels from .25x700 to .22x600 , and of course the 700 tuner doesn't work - without chopping the length...or get a new 600 tensioner ...
Now my question to people who have both the tuner and the tensioner ... obviously one works better then the other one ...
Which one is placebo and which one really works better?

As a new Weihrauch owner I am seeking AGN member advice on beech gunstock maintenance. I have recently acquired two new rifles (HW50S, HW30S) both of which have the new-style beech stock (cutout under cheek area) and would like suggestions on what can be done to treat these stocks for long term use. The options I'm considering at this point are Tru-Oil, some type of wax or polish (Tru-Polish?) or boiled & thinned Linseed Oil.

The Beech wood seems light in color and I expect some sort of darkening if any treatment is applied. I'm planning disassembly for cleaning / kit installation shortly and felt that it would also be a good time for stock prep. I'm thinking that some type of light oil-wax solution might be just right.

I'm also open to any information regarding the current factory finish on these stocks and whether leaving them as is is the preferred option. I'm not interested in any treatments that would involve removal of any factory-applied finishes, just some preservative-type actions or treatments. Thanks in advance - I've searched the forums for info on this subject but didn't find anything directly related.

So here it is. Selling one of my three Leshiy 2’s.

It’s a .25 350 with an alpha precision barrel set at 150 bar. It’s pushing 33 grain NSA’s at about 830ish+.

Everything you see comes with it. Functions, flawlessly, in excellent condition. Three mags, shroud, Magpul grips, the whole shabing bang.

Looking for $1,750 shipped. PayPal F&F or add 3%.

Thank you,

I purchased a compressor for my Evol 30 but the fill whip doesn't fit the male nipple that comes in the Evol. AAA recommend me to Air Tank Plus but honestly dont want to spend 80$ on a fill whip. Any recommendations out there? Can i maybe build one?

Joe Brancato TJ3 Dual Gauges SCBA Slow-Flow Valve with Din300 fill adaptor. Very good conditions, M18 thread (for most SCBA sourced from china). The 2.5' glycerin filled main gauge reads out clearly and accurately the air going into your gun. The 1.7″ dial gauge shows the air reserves in the air tank at all times.

Listing price $169 shipped to CONUS. Plus $49 for a new Joe's 40'' microbore fill hose. I prefer PayPal F&F or buyer add 3.5%, also accept Venmo. No trade, thank you!

I just got this Crosman 760-C. I dug out an old Marlin Micro-vue 4x scope that I have. I've never had the scope mounted to anything. Figured I might as well use it now,,,lol. Would this be considered an ok scope for the 760?

I have run into a bit of a snag though. I can not get the front bell off the scope to put the front scope ring on. And the scope really needs to move back. I fear if I use any kind of tools on it it will damage it. Could I maybe heat up the threads with something? I assume a micro torch would affect the bluing? What about a soldering iron? Or should I not use ANY kind of heat?

What would you guys suggest. Or I guess I could just use the rear ring,,,lol. I've seen people do that but I think it looks goofy.

Thanks for any input.

So go to Walmart to grab some spray paint . I just use the cheap 89¢ stuff to cover the pellet marks or just clean em up a bit . I get to the shelve and could not believe it's now 2.89$ .

I was like "man im glad im not using the good stuff " ..lol... Still what a jump in price. I had to walk around some to think about even getting any .. wow.

Then I guess i better hope my bank dont fail before the charge card clears..

About 15 months ago I bought a great white tank which I tried to have filled locally at a dive shop. They told me on the phone they could get me close to 4,500 psi.
But when I got the bottle filled it read 3,600psi and by the time I got it home and it had cooled off, it was at 3,300 psi. My AEA airgun fills to 3,3300 psi, so that's next to useless for me! My backup plan was to buy a Alpha filter from Joe, along with the tank, but they didn't have any in stock at the time. So now my $$$ airgun setup has been sitting collecting dust for over a year.

I have a YH compressor but would need a good filter before I use it to fill up my tank. Alpha filters are $400 from Joe. Money is not a problem, but that seems like a LOT of money for a filter. A lot has changed since I bought my YH 5-6 years ago. Am I better off putting that $400 towards a better compressor with a built in filter, like the Tuxing? When I bought my YH it was just to fill up my marauder to 3,000psi, not to fill a big tank to 4,500psi!


I have a serious case of analysis paralysis and need some good advice guys!

Actually the question is two fold, is it a good idea to polish the Belleville washers in a AMP, or any other regulator, does it actually help? And two, what are the darn dimensions of them, I did something silly and reassembled mine before measuring them, anxious anticipation and itchy trigger finger. Oh sorry, it's a Maverick, details details.

Ah hah, got lucky, found part of the answer across the pond, 10mm od, 4mm id, .4mm thickness.

How many youtubers have done head to head reviews of these 2 guns? NONE!!!

You'd think this would be an absolute NO BRAINER as far as making content goes.

You have the M3, the best air gun in the world for quite a few years now, and then the Panthera comes out, a new "competition" rifle which supposedly has better valving and a more stable barrel.....soooo what am I missing?!? Why are we not seeing these 2 guns in head to head comparison videos??

I believe I have personally seen ONE comparison video by Rack n Load and it just a physical comparison.

So youtubers who CRAVE new content to put out either have NO interest in comparing the "2 best air rifles on the market" (which you have to admit is just ODD) or by doing so it would make one of the guns look bad and hurt FX's business (in which case it highlights the dishonesty of content creators)

I’ve got a HW110 .22 that I’ve tuned down.

It was originally “FAC” - about 29 ft/lbs with JSB 18.13g.

I dropped regulator pressure to 112 bar and replaced hammer spring shuttle with lighter UK spec shuttle.

I’m now getting well over 100 shots on a fill at 680-700 fps with 14.3g.

However, it seems to jump up about 20 fps when “falling” off the regulator.

I previously set regulator to 105 bar - and had same type of jump.

To get rifle to gradually drop velocity when falling off regulator, what adjustment(s) should I do?

I want to get a springer, for target shooting at the range and plinking, maybe some small game hunting in the future, but primarily for fun shooting. I would like some options on wether to get .177 or .22 ?

Up for sale is my FX Dreamlite .25 no scope or rings. One 18rd mag. Asking $700 buyer pays shipping. Pm me for payment and shipping options only in the lower 48.

Hi,

Where can one buy a 1/8” BSPP male foster with male threads? Don’t want the ones with a check valve. I can only find the female threaded fittings.

I had a new spring installed in my Diana 54 by Motorhead. Good work! I had sent him just the action, and when I mounted it to my stock, the sled system doesn't seem to work like it should. Hefty recoil and large groups. Blah! Do I have the screws too tight? That is my guess. Any good info out in Air Gun World?
