My rifle is an FX Impact M3 700mm sniper spec with plenum, power block, tensioned barrel and dual port dumbed down to .177 caliber. I am pretty much limited to .177 here in my country, so I naturally want to shoot the heaviest slug in .177 for maximum damage when hunting for pests in my farm.

I have had good success in tuning for NSA .178/15gr slugs, easily adjust between 900-1050 fps, reg at 100 bar, macro 13, micro 3.5, valve 3.5-4 lines, very efficient air use, nice one dime grouping at 25 yards. However, for the life of me I can’t get good velocity with the heavier NSA .178/20.5gr slugs. The absolute max velocity I could get was 850 fps and I had to max out everything to get it with reg at 135 bar, macro 16, micro 5 and valve fully maxed out, even a slight reduction on setting would drop it drastically to lame 600-700 fps and it consumes air like a leaking balloon…

What can I do? I am targetting 925 ish fps. I asked the shop and he suggested changing hammer to tungsten and spring too but I am not convinced because as far as I know much heavier tungsten wants 170 bar on reg and there is no way I need 170 bar just to launch a puny .177 / 20.5 grain slug to a proper velocity… Currently I am far far away from maxed out shooting 15gr at proper velocity, there is no way I need to upgrade to tungsten just for 5gr heavier slugs?? Maybe I just missed something??

Please advise and thank you very much in advance!!

I just received my new @Airgun-Revisions .177 P-Rod FT. Words couldn’t describe how cool this thing is. I have my Bushnell Match Pro on for now. I need to 3D print a nautilus wheel and pointer and then it’s off to the range to work on my distances.

What distance do you start your zero point at?

Has anyone used this compressor?
Each time I fill cylinder (200 bar), when I try to remove the cylinder (un screw) it damages the threads of cylinder as it hold it under pressure. Am I using it wrong? Or do I need a relief valve or something installed?

If I unscrew the black knob, it drains air from the cylinder.



The cylinder I use comes from Hammerli AP40. Picture attached.



There is no valve between the cylinder and this compressor. I have a coupling between the compressor filter holder and an adapter. The coupling then connects to an adapter that connects to the cylinder. Picture of the coupling attached.


Picture of the adapter. The cylinder fits to this.

Have been looking at a few different rifles for NRL22 shooting and shooting in general. I have a few I have been looking at and watching some rifles, the Epic Two the Karma Red Panda. But the thought of an American made rifle is intriguing to say the least. That and being as I already have an original Rapid Mkii as well as a Dawson Rapid I figure I could grow the family.

This has me thinking about a 22 rifle to shoot slugs for both hunting and match shooting. That leads me to the first question...will the Hm1000x shoot slugs accurately enough to hold 1 MOA at 100 yards? If you can't hold close to this using it for a match is a waste of time.

The other question are to those that have the MPA chassis. How well do you like it, and how well does it fit the gun?

Last one...when shooting actual NRL22 matches, how do you find the rifle fitting in some of the barricades used?

Thanks guys

AOA has a  used one for sale in .22. They are asking $7,450.00 for it. No I'm not planning on buying it but it seems like a very interesting air gun. It's custom built and uses a twin opposing piston mechanism.

Anybody here ever get to shoot one of these? Sorry no photo I couldn't get the picture to post.

I want to thank the few that offered heartfelt and helpful contributions to the post. I have deleted it because of the truly ignorant, unfeasible, out of the parameters or just plain hateful and spiteful reply's.. I will remind others the reason for this forum is to help those who share the passion for airguns as I do, or are seeking guidance. I am sadden to see such nefarious and indecorous interactions playing out on this forum.
For the ones who offered helpful input, I have been shooting in my backyard since I bought the house (2013). It is no secret that I shoot there even had uniformed local P.D. shoot with us once. I am not trying to hide the fact I shoot here, just looking for a way to shoot year round in comfort and have a testing tube for accuracy without the interference of the elements.

I ran across this on the internet archive. It's free to read and/or download. It's rather informative on airguns made up until 2003. J. E. House is a good writer. He has a book on American air rifles posted there as well.


Cheers,

Hey guys..Does anybody own a kalibergun snipe ? Im having issues with o rings blowing out of the magazines also the digital gauges not reading right . Id love to hear your thoughts on the gun .

Thanks for any input .

I tried AOA they didn't have one; said to try contacting Daystate.
Daystate says to try contacting AOA........

So, since this request seems to be going nowhere -

Does anyone here have an "exploded" parts list with part numbers for the .177 Daystate Griffin they'd be willing to share?

Thanks!

Looking for .22 mags

I recently purchased a Santa Rosa .20 R1 Carbine that has a chamfered front compression tube cap seam rather than the usual attempt at hiding the seam. Both the tube and the end cap are chamfered and obviously the seam was not meant to be hidden and is almost ornamental. The serial number is 1098xxx. I noticed the same seam on member SteveP-52s recently acquired R1 Laser and contacted him, his serial number is 1238xxx. I am going to guess this style seam was a temporary production variation as later versions went back to the hidden seam. So check your R1 and let’s see those seams.

Nowadays everything must be bigger, faster and louder. I can still remember how much fun we had with 30FPE air rifles and what we were capable of doing with them. Has these high powered air rifles made us better shots? Well sometimes i wonder. Here is a old video where i did some pest control with the 30FPE Daystate Huntsman Revere.

What a brilliant air rifle, just a straight forward piece of kit that only requires air, pellets and a decent shot behind a scope and i promise you, you will have a blast of a time.

What do you think?

Rock Pigeon Hunting | Daystate Huntsman Revere | Air Gun Pest Control

I'm aiming to my next and final gun for a while either the 308 or 357 texan ss.. my questions is same grain bullet on both rifles is the 357 going to dispatch the pellet/slug faster or is just wasting more air... also if a deer shows up will both dispatch a deer humanly? i want an all around rifle to dispatch a coyote or a ground hog to possibly a deer?

Pristine condition with only 1 tin of pellets down the bore. Regulated, powerful, quiet and super accurate thanks to an LW barrel. Match grade two stage trigger that is better than the original Taipan Veteran. 8 round spring loaded magnetic magazine works flawlessly and also included is a single shot tray. 300 bar fill. QD fill probe. Manual.

Scope and rings not included.

$900.00 plus $50.00 shipping.

PayPal.

So I got both my grandsons shoot squirrels and they are pretty good. One of them got a 170 yard shot. They had a great time

It seems like there should be an "Introduce Yourself" sticky as an icebreaker for the people that are new to the sport and don't know enough to make an intelligent contribution to any of the existing threads. Having said that, and by way of introduction, this is how I landed on the AN web page.

I live in a populated area of SoCal and our neighborhood is becoming over-populated with gophers. Our daughter had one pop up in her backyard and I took the opportunity to bring out my Winchester 1000x (made in China) and do a little backyard plinking. I haven't used it for many months and it took a couple of warm-up shots to get used to that horrible terrible trigger. She became concerned over the noise we were making so we ended the session after a dozen or so shots, but it left me longing for more.

So now I find myself looking down the rabbit hole of yet another hobby. Originally I thought of taking this to the backyard with a LDC-equipped rifle/carbine but the way things are in the world today I don't want to cause a fuss so I think moving indoors would be the better option for the time being. We have a long hallway that might work, and I've got my eye on the Notos/PPxxx/Bandit carbines...but I've always always always lusted for that powder-burning Luger that I could never afford and I almost bought one of the air-powered Lugers on an impulse...but I just can't make the leap to CO2...yet...because I don't know enough about CO2 power. My prejudice towards CO2 comes from when I was a kid and couldn't afford the CO2 powerlets on my lunch money.

I have several BB guns and a few Daisy 760/66 pellet guns, given as prizes for early entrance to the Shooting Sports Fairs that they had in the area decades ago. [Just now noticed that the Daisy 66 is a much heavier barrel than the 760]. Besides the Chinese Winchester, notably, I have a Benjamin pump pistol in .22cal (similar in appearance to the 132 or 137) that I bought in the early 70s...I just need to find it And I think I still have my old Daisy Model 25 pump that I had as a kid, but I haven't seen that one in many years. As a kid, I used to smuggle that one out of the house, broken down, in a paper bag...I keep thinking it's probably in a paper bag in some forgotten corner of a closet. I know it didn't get stolen or thrown away, so it's around here someplace.

I haven't spent any money yet, but it's a good thing that Notos is out of stock!

hello! im here again with another random question. I am currently looking at the Airforce condor air rifle (haven't decided on what caliber yet) im looking at it so hard that my wallet is getting scared lol. but here's the question. do I buy the condor, a gun that would fit my needs just fine as is out of the box, or, do I modify my Airforce TalonP to fit those same needs? I got the TalonP as a gift, so I didn't pay anything for the gun, figure about 250 on the larger bottle, 250ish on the longer barrel, and say 100 on other random bits that I would need, so all in say 600 bucks...or spend 860ish on a new condor and keep the TalonP as is. in a way, I really want a new gun (again) to add to the collection, and on the other hand, im running out of room for these darn things. my main use for the condor would be to build it into a slug gun of sorts, for longer range hunting and plinking, with the occasional coyote here and there...the TalonP could be built up to do a very similar task and all it takes is money, time, research, waiting on parts, finding parts....or I could buy the condor...I would assume the condor will pretty much always be more powerful than the TalonP so that's something to consider to a degree, and I would be getting the condor ss, so it would be more neighbor friendly than my very loud TalonP. I think I already have my mind made up and at this point im trying to validate my opinion I guess.

hey folks, while i was developing a tune for my New To Me .25 Huben, this critter decided to invade one of my cardinal feeders out at
87yrds......
i have been working with the 38gr zan .253 in this gun and it does show prospects for my needs.
more to come later.

I suppose I'm done with ELR using airguns and this has been sitting in the safe more than it should be. Also I'm buying a new E-Mountain bike so this sale will help fund that purchase.

This scope is in MIL and has the FML3 reticle. It was bought NIB from a guy on a SH forum a year ago and its in 99.9% condition, also comes with everything that came in the box as well as the box.
Best to look up all the specs on March's website but what's significant is it is a externally adjusted scope with 86 MILS of elevation travel!!!
The glass is right up there with the best riflescopes ever made and I've looked through most of them to confirm that fact.

Brand new these go for $5400.

Cash FTF, personal check with waiting period to clear, or cashiers check from a major bank in the amount of "as of 5/14/24" reduced from $4900 to $4650. I don't do PP anymore. This price includes 3 day shipping and insurance.
