OK so after a year and adding @mubhaur plenum piece and eliminating 1st regulator my .22cal 600mm m3 was a dream 21grn H+N at 900fps lazer out to 100yrds this continued for thousands of rnds then I started having accuracy issues and when chronied velocity had dropped to 860fps retuned to 900 which held for a couple of tests and went shooting same thing each retune I'm moveing valve adjuster further out then it happens again replaced valve adjuster rod and loctighted end C52 part tuned great went shooting problem back checked C52 right at 6mm...HELP I'm at the end of my rope with this gun!!!!!

Hi Guys,
Has anyone tried using radio controlled car shock oil as a pellet lube?
I believe it is silicone based so dieseling should not be a problem. There are different weights (viscosity’s) avalible from 20 to 45. I’m thinking the thinnest, 20 might be worth trying.
If you have any experience using it please let me know how it went.
The other option I’m planning on trying is bicycle chain wax.
Pic attached of both.

I'm thinking about getting a Reximex Mito for some family plinking and target work..
Thoughts please.. plus some thoughts on alternatives.
Cheers

I am trying to get 1MOA at 100m shooting slugs with my M3. I have documented the process of tuning:


At the end of this report I have couple of questions. I could get 1moa groups, but could not be consistent.
I hope this report could be useful for somebody new, and experts could give me some ideas for better tuning to make the gun more consistent.

nice fall weather to approaching winter mornings 41 degrees and only up to 62 today . ( I will have to build my indoor trap soon)

Just an update on Extreme Benchrest Arizona. Top Daystate shooter Fady Kiwan has just posted what is the highest score at 75 yards in its 12 year history, so he is all set for the 100 yards final today. Fady won the World Benchrest Champoinships last month with a BRK Ghost, but for this comp, fady has chosen to use a bit more tech in the form of a Daystate Alpha Wolf.

This past Spring I installed Vortek PG4 SHO kit in my TX200 .22 cal. It's shooting great on the range, from a bag at both 25 and 50 yards, as well as for general plinking. My question is, finally, when you chronograph your TX200, what sort of FPS are you getting? I chronographed my rifle most recently in the 645 fps range using JSB 15.86 and AA 16 grain pellets. In the past I thought I'd remembered shooting closer to the 750 fps range. Maybe I remember wrong, after all, I'm older than . . . well, I forgot that too. Anyhow, share what your TX200 MKIII in .22 cal is doing. Thanks, Orv.

A fun little video for you guys and gals. Wondering what your pick would be...?

Anyone replace their first reg gauge? I have an extra digital gauge that I would like to put on there but the original gauge comes with 2 O-rings and a brass washer. There is no X-ring inside like the other gauge ports. Since there is no X-ring the gauge has to be tightened all the way to seal and that leaves the gauge orientation crooked. Has anyone just used an X-ring instead? Or any ideas how to get the gauge straightened out?

This discussion started in a thread in the hunting forum. However I didn't really want to hijack their thread too much. I also tried searching through the forums but many were older threads.

Yesterday at work in the woods we were talking airguns again. They were surprised at overall how quiet they were. The discussion moved to deer hunting. Many were impressed that people hunt with them too (although Ohio currently doesn't allow for it) . I'd never considered big bores much but its gotten me looking into them and trying to learn about them. They also are getting curious about them.

I've not had the opportunity to see a big bore rifle in person yet, let alone shoot one. I know it takes more air to push larger projectiles so they tend to be louder than smaller calibers. However what are some quieter models as thats a big draw to air rifles for myself and others. I certainly want to avoid the noise levels of powder burner if possible. Are suppressors viable on big bore rifles?

Price aside, as I don't mind paying more for quality, IF theres a difference and improvement in fit finish and performance, what big bore air rifles would you recommend? What are some that have the capability for taking deer? (state laws aside as I know that varies) Are there any you would avoid and why?


User Cheplicki replied in the other thread:

I would recommend a bulldog in 357 or 45.. more then enough power and you can keep the sound down.. air-force Texan and AEA element 457 would be a great gun.. I would avoid really long guns if you're trying to keep the sound down because u will have a 6ft rifle after you add a suppressor lol.. there are a lot of great deer guns out there but it all depends on what you want to spend..


I appreciate any other suggestions or insights.

Firstly I'm going to admit I'm doing destructive testing on it, not intentionally but it's how it's working out. Just a bunch of stupid errors on my part. To save others from the same fate. Xoloti aka Alfonso is very gracious about sending me parts.

Mike VV gave a great report of the mechanics, I'm only going to add that the fit and finish is excellent.

My trigger is currently 2#4oz, easily adjustable but i'm leaving it alone for now.

For the first 20 shots, 2 mags, I averaged 7.1 fps deviation. using .22 14.3gr Crosman HP's at 9 yards

Center is the first ten so #21 though 31 out of the gun

Top left is the next 10 Top right is the next 10 coming off of the regular at 2000psi Front rest only using a red-dot, with a Donny FL Tanto, still makes a touch of noise.

This is going to be a fun gun to play with.

HI, new member today came looking for tuning info on impact m3 22 kal. I bought this gun in 2021 from utah air had it tuned for slugs now I’m going back to pellets. I’m having a hard time slowing down JSBs 18 Gn bellow 900fps. 1st reg 140- 90. 2nd reg 86-60. Any ideas?

Hello Oh Wise Ones.

Left my Ghost aired down for a few days and now air is leaking out the barrel when I air it up. I pulled the valve and everything seems fine. All the seals look to be in good shape. Do I need a new seal kit, or is there something I can do to magically fix it?

Thanks in advance!

I have a "New To Me" Evanix Cloud Ultra in .25 caliber that has sprung a leak. It seems to be coming from somewhere in the area between grip and the portion where the back of the rifle meets. Its circled in my pics. Haven't seen any videos on how to disassemble/reassemble this rifle nor how to replace O-Rings and the such. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx guys

I scored this .257 off the classifieds on Wednesday and had Tom at High Pressure Pneumatics ship everything else NDA and it all arrived in less than 24 hours!

I had been itching to shoot it and I wasn't waiting for the rain today so I took Freak out to zero her.

Well, I forgot my Allen wrenches so I literally had zero elevation adjustment and was using the top of the ep5 reticle at 25 and 100 yards

That didn't stop me from testing and tuning though, the @alkincompressors kept everything tight with an es of 7 fps while slinging these beautiful 85 grain #avsslugs boat tails at 975 fps for 180 fpe.

The first group was during the tuning, the far left was figuring the hold at 100. The second group of 4 speaks for itself.

Sub Half moa at 100 yards lolol.

It is hold sensitive but I like it. It's like she's talking to me. Needless to say...

Freak is a killer and it's time to take her the distance

I usually buy crown savers, from Mac1, but looks like his web site is for sale. Anyone know of a source for the Crown savers? I have tried others, even home made, but the Crown saver works the best, for me. Thanks, Don

Looks to be a windy day in AZ.

Good luck to all competitors.

I know scope shift temp changes happen with many brands of scopes which affects ranging and poi changes. How do you guys try to alleviate this as much as you can? I know trying to keep gun out of direct sunlight but that's not always possible. Cavedweller mentioned putting a white towel over it and he said it helped there in Alabama where it gets pretty hot like here in OK.

What else helps with this? Do you just figure out the temp range that it occurs and how much?

Or just get a scope that doesn't have that issue?

Thanks
Jon

I see that cnc machines have accelerated production by 8 times, so it would be logical for air weapons to become cheaper...

Hello everyone first of all I am happy to join this forum it's my pleasure to be a member of this community
This topic is long sorry for this in advance

My name is Hani I am from Oman I already have Diana chaser combo that came with stock and longer barrel
I like the gun it's very fun and accurate but the co2 affect by weather and also it's expensive in my country the one 12g co2 cartridge cost $1 so I am thinking of getting the bandit (PCP) since I figured out they're same fit in stock so I can put the bandit in chaser stock with shoulder also the long barrel from the chaser can fit in bandit good rifle combo
And the PCP fill coat is $7 for 9L cylinder ( already have my brother owned the cylinder) !! I am wondering how many times fill the bandit 50 cc tank from 9L cylinder
So
Can this worth it? I mean I like PCP pistol for light weight and also cheaper options for my country since is the bandit is cheaper PCP gun only cost $200 and+ fit in chaser body
So my question is
Is worth to upgraded from chaser to bandit since the co2 cost more than PCP charge
I mean I am looking for more power and stable shots
Also I found PCP hand pump ( cost $65 came with extra o rings parts) is it good? I mean what the life cycle of PCP hand pump?
