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.



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



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



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



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 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.

5 shot group @ 35. Waiting for Otis and sparrows. Look like 5 dead ones.

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.

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.

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



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!

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

As a example will use same bullets flat nose and roud nose .. which number is supposed to be better the higher one or the lower one .. is the higher the number better..? Thank you.

Just not sure were to post this, But when I was a kid 50 years ago there were H/T everywhere, Now I might see one or two a summer,
Not sure you can see it , But tell me if its rare in your area?

I'm about to pull the trigger on the Labradar (the old version). I'm looking for a chronograph that measures at different distances so I can easily calculate BC. Right now, the way I do it is I measure at the muzzle with the simple Caldwell optical chronograph. I then place the chronograph 30 meters away and measure again hoping I won't hit it. I really like the form factor of a lot of the new ones but one thing that is a deal breaker for me is the built in rechargeable batteries. I can deal with proprietary batteries but I need it to be user replaceable. I only plan to use it occasionally when tuning for a particular projectile so battery life is not a big deal to me.

So far, I only know of the old Labradar that has both velocity measurement at distances AND a replaceable battery. Are there any others I should be considering?

Diamond in the rough...I spent hrs. shooting the last 2 days. This is a blast. Played tin can down for most part at 15- 30 yds. Like it so much I am going to get another that is in mint condition.

I raise Livestok and I have rats in my barn. So I went out and bought a PCP rifle shoot rat the problem. I’m having is at 25 yards. It will not hold a tight group pattern. And anybody who’s ever tried to hunt rats one or 2 inches off you’ll miss it every . I have a.ux origin
I keep it between 15 and 2500 psi while I am target shooting . What can I do to get better accuracy out of this thing. Would different pellets help.
Also I am using a rest when I target shoot
