There are shops that claim that they test every rifle before it leaves their store.
So I wonder if they are cleaning every barrel before the test, or if they are just shooting through the grease?
I never hear anything about them cleaning the barrel before they test the rifle, just the claim that they test every rifle.
I’m not complaining about it, just wondering about it since it seems weird to test a rifle without cleaning the barrel.
Does anyone else wonder about this?

Have not had the rifle out in several months. When I took it out of the case yesterday I was surprised to find the bottle empty. Tried to refill it it but the air was leaking out. Thought it might be the bottle O- ring so I swapped it out for a new one. That did not fix it. I know the leak is somewhere around the fill nozzle. Anyone else had this problem? What did you do?

Hi,

I have just received a 0.36L CF bottle to upgrade the small AEA HP SS tube.
First of all the seller lied and while he told me that all the bottles were made
during the past 30 days, the CF bottle had a manufacture date of 06 - 2023.
Already nine months old and the re testing period is 3 years.

Anyway, I have inspected the inside of the bottle with a small camera and you
can see the video at the link below:


I am no expert in CF bottles and this is my first one, but I would like to ask you
if this looks normal? The inside surface is very rough and there is some
black stuff/residue inside as well. Carbon fibers? Not sure. On the outside
everything looks fine as well as the threads.

Any comments?
Thanks.

Looking for a FX Crown Mk II .22 cal 600mm preferably tuned for shooting 25 + or - grain slugs or pellets. Not interested in problem childs.

Having some fun always wanted to have a 20 caliber TX200. My friend Mark and I continually hype each other up for projects like this

I have machined the .20 LW blank to be a length of roughly 11.75" and am using a Carbon Fiber Shroud.

It will have a magnetic latch, I have to chop the underlever and rethread it for the end plug. Either that or chop it and ream out the arm for 10mm to insert the magnet directly in the lever, but I believe I'd prefer the adjustable end plug for fine tuning the magnet.

It currently is at 10.5fpe w/ 13.7gr JSB, the spring kit installed is a weak old Vortek kit that I'll be replacing w/ a new spring from Tom soon or maybe I can dig one up in my stash.

Anyways, here are a few pictures of the journey.

WTB: Taipan Veteran Shorty .25 caliber. You may e mail me direct at [email protected]

Over the years I’ve used a lot of different barrel cleaners… and nothing quite compares to the Patch Worm

Haven't really been following airguns much anymore. Shoot my Evol Mini and Notos quite often still but still might want a small bullpup. Kinda miss my Taipan Shorty as it was a fun little gun. Not sure if there's anything new coming out with Shot Show and IWA being recent? My guess would probably be nothing but maybe I missed something.

Selling my internally stock 1322 with Buck Rail collapsing stock (not folding) steel breech, Hawke 4x scope with BKL rings, trigger pad, Buck Rail orange wrapped moderator, Buck rail grips, screws are converted to hex. don’t really shoot it so it can go. Asking $175 shipped (just the scope and rings are $130) PayPal f&f preferred but if you must pay with g&s I understand please just take care of the 3.5% fee. Thanks for looking

wysiwyg.....

My sons asked if he could go shooting with me a few times. I decided to let him have a try, he certainly showed he’s been paying attention and showed excellent discipline. Although he can’t fully shoulder the rifle yet he definitely adapted his own style….. well it worked for him he chose my .177 BRK ghost along with the .177 pathfinder out the cabinet and we headed down to our local range ( humberside shooting ground, east yorks, uk )
I checked the zero on both rifles then let Louis have a try with the ghost. He was over the moon to hit the target first go. He was confidently knocking 20mm spinners out at 40-50 yards. I set him a challenge to try and hit the bull on a paper target out at 50y. The result…… his smile says it all !
Safe to say his new obsession is going to cost me

I have a Gamo .22 Swarm break-barrel that I use for iguanas. I want something both stronger and with the benefit of rapid follow up shots, so a PCP is my next purchase. I called Palm Beach Air Guns who were super helpful, and they suggested the Air Venturi Avenger in .25. Just want to get your opinions before I go pick one up. I have a UTG Bugbuster scope on the Gamo which I assume I can swap over to the Venturi without issue?

My property and my neighbors are infested with iguanas. Dozens of 5+ foot with tail iguanas on any given day. It's absurd. Even while I was hunting them, it barely put a dent in them. I need to bring in more manpower.

I also have a coyote problem but I don't think a .25 is adequate in that regard, and going to a .30 seems excessive for iguanas, so I'll have to figure out something else for those.

Anyway, I am debating .22 vs .25 and also the pump system. I assume I'll need to budget about $300 for a Yong Heng or such compressor? I do have lower back problems so I don't really want to be pumping by hand. Is this the best option for an air pump? And this Air Venturi Avenger sounds like a good option for me? Appreciate the help all, I don't know much about Airguns to be honest.

Good evening, new to the forum, been shooting for some time both target and pest control. Looking forward to being here.

TopGun-Airguns is proud to announce our new 700cc x 300 Bar bottle for FX, Daystate, Brocock, LCS, Rattler and many other PCP rifles. These are from the same manufacturer that provides bottles for Brocock, Daystate, FX and many other high quality PCP Airguns and are DOT approved. This series of tanks called the “JB Ally Tanks” are available in 300cc/480cc/580cc/700cc x 300 Bar and 6.8L & 9L in 310 Bar and can be found at our website here: https://www.topgun-airguns.com/product/ally-airgun-tanks/

These tank provide a greater number of shots, due to their higher max pressure and larger volume.
Increase in shots is calculated by Increase in pressure (assuming filled to 300 Bar, refilled at 120 Bar=1.35x) times increase in volume (depends on size of bottle being replaced).

480cc/250 Bar bottle =2.0x as many shots = 1.35x1.46
580cc/250 Bar bottle =1.6x as many shots = 1.35x1.21
700cc/600 Bar bottle =1.35x as many shots = 1.35x1.0

Well finally got to the range today but was short lived because the gun leak air. Plus another thing is this rifle very very load without a silencer on this thing!!!!! Like 22lr loud!!! I forgot my Donny FL but did remember I had my buck rail it quite it down a lot!!!! Then after a few more rounds of shooting it started to leak. So packed up left went home disgusted. Accuracy not great at all!!!! Right now looks like shotgun pattern without a silencer. With the buck rail the accuracy improved a little. JTS pellets not good. FX pellets were a little better not great. But anyway.... Oh yeah FX crown single shot trays do fit into these rifles great .

Yes, I'll probably get blocked by OldSpook but I think any thread that doesn't have a discussion methodology is a disservice to the AGN so this thread will be the place where said comments can be posted in order to honor OS's wishes to keep his thread pure as well as give us a place to discuss the offer he presents us.

OK, GO!

Weihrauch HW75 target pistol. Shot a few times but to rough on my tired hands. .177 caliber. As new in box with paperwork. $465 shipped in Continental U.S Only. Nice figure in the Walnut Target grips.

Option number two is; the pistol with the factory Target grip and “aluminum extension/Rosewood checkered grip panels, screws with o-rings Custom kit”. This gives both grip configurations. $525 shipped. See second picture.

Please see what this man says in Minute 15:30:

Hi air gunners,

New air gunner here

grew up with multi pumps and I've had them all

Moving to PCP soon for everything from pest control, to hunting small game, to ringing steel on the range at .25 or .30

Question to all you out there with much more experience and sense than I do:

Why would anyone purchase an Airforce Talon or Condor over something Like JTS Airacuda max?

I get that if you have Taipan Veteran budget it wouldn't matter, and in a perfect world I would have every airgun ever made and don't have to choose or ask a question like this.

But just out of curiosity, why would anyone get an Airforce air rifle, over other air rifles if you only can have one? (I'm asking because I'm that kind of guy, I don't like to have one of everything, I would just like to have one)

I think something like the Airacuda max is beautiful to look at, not single loaded, and deadly accurate (doen't have walther lothar but it seems to stack pellets regardless)

So why would I pay double or triple for an Airforce Condor for example?

Thanks everyone!

Up for sale is my Talon SS currently in .20
But also comes with a .22 barrel. She’s all stock except for the Talon Tunes gauge and fill port or whatever it’s called. There’s a blemish on the tank which that’s how it came. Has sling studs, fx no limit mounts, 6-24 Hawke scope with IR. Selling to pay for a decent gun purchase and just making room. Asking $475.00 shipped . I accept PayPal f &f . I ship UPS and an adult signature will be required. Comes with a UTG soft case. That’s just a wrap on the tank. Owners manual comes with it along with its wrenches.

I just saw a coyote or maybe 2 of them eating a small dead rat I left outside. The coyote appear multiple time during the early raining morning.

5:06:00 walks by camera but doesn't eat the rat.
5:07:42 comes back and eats the rat.
6:04:40 comes back again.
6:05:40 triggers the camera again but the camera is slow so it almost out of view.

Is it only 1 coyote or 2? Should I eliminate it? It is a little big to easily put into the trash can. A disposal problem? Any guess on size, I'm guessing 30lbs+. I have a lot of rats in the yard is it better to have this coyote around to keep the rats somewhat in check? Do they hunt live rats? I don't have any pets or little kids to worry about.

If termination is in order I have a 0.25 34g JSB 890 fps at the muzzle and the shot would be at 25 yards. From reading about max's stories they are much easier to spook than raccoons. I have to open a door to get off the shot, it may hear that and run off.
