Other  Shooting like a Brit

A few weeks ago I picked up a Webley Raider 10 from the AOA classifieds. The price was low so I knew something had to be wrong with it. Sure enough it was a leaker. No big deal I thought and placed the order.

Got the rifle a few days later and started taking it apart to reseal when I came upon a hurdle I’ve never encountered: An anti-tamper screw. This meant two things: This rifle was built for the sub 12 UK market and the anti tamper screw will need to be drilled out. No biggie. Drilled a small hole into it then used a screw removal bit. With this out of the way I was able to successfully reseal the rifle.

Finally got to shoot it today and oh boy is she accurate! Ragged holes at 25 yards with everything I fed it. The cocking is butter smooth due to the plastic ball bearings on the hammer guide. The trigger is light and predictable. The shot cycle is short and tame. It only shoots at 11.5 fpe and is very quiet due to the shroud having 4” of baffles. Not only does this rifle perform well but I like the traditional look. The walnut stock has nice lines and the finger groove on the forestock provides a secure grip. The blued tube is a nice touch. Shoots like a Daystate Revere, looks like an FX Tarantula

Daystate (Coltri) Compressor Blew the Safety Valve

I recently setup my Daystate 4500 PSI (110v) compressor to start filling my CF tank. After the setup and 5 minute break in, I went ahead and got ready to top off my tank. The tank was at about 200 bar. Following all the directions and the videos before trying, I went ahead and started to open the valve on the air tank after closing the moisture/relief valve and starting the compressor. I opened the valve on the tank slowly. After about 5 seconds I hear a loud bang and the compressor relief valve blew out. Of course I don't have a spare as the unit is brand new! I can't figure out what caused the blow out as the tank was at 200 bar - nothing for the compressor to reach. Must I let the compressor build up pressure to what's left in the tank before opening the tank valve so there is no "rush" of pressure that may have blown the safety valve? Directions and videos sure did not imply this. Please let me know if any of you have had this happen to them. Just so you know bad luck is following me, I had to send my Hill EC-3000 back to air venturi for a faulty motherboard or fill pressure sensor, so I'm out both compressors at the same time!

N/A  Budget pcp hand pump pistol recommendations.

I see there is an older thread on this question but maybe opinions are changed now.
Looking for lower priced pcp pistol with hand pump for varmint control such as possum.

Not long range, just needs to be better than my crosman p1322 which has a stated 460 fps.
Im using crosman premier hollow point 14.3 gr.
I literally see them bouncing off prey.
Im not interested in putting more money into the crosman.

American Air Arms  Evol 15 Shot Count Drop

So I took my Evol 15 out today after filling it to about 260 bar before going out. The pressure for each shot was set at 2000psi from AoA and I have not fooled with the gun. I go out and wanted to sight in some of the JTS 18.1 gr and see how they did. I normally shoot the JSB 25.39s so I wanted to see how these did. I shot 1 magazine and reloaded and the first shot out of the next magazine was 4" lower. I had an immediate WTF, and shot another and it's an inch lower than the last shot. The 3rd one is 3 inches lower. I go look at the reservoir pressure and it's at 1000 psi! No leaks that I could hear and no extra noise on the shot so I am really stumped as to what is going on. I would easily get 35+ with the 26g JSBs so I was thinking I would get a few more with the 18gr. Anyone out there have a similar problem?

Thanks,
Paul

Bought a 5th wheel and going camping...trying to decide which PCP to take for protection or survival?

Wife and I did a lot of RV camping in the past, haven't for about 10 years. Now both are retired and bought a used Artic Fox 27 ft 5th wheel. Plan to camp a lot here in Washington then out of state. With PCP I don't think I have to be concerned about crossing state lines. I have several rifles I'd like to take but space is limited so I need to pick one. I think I'm going to pick my .45 cal B&W S45. It has a folding stock, mags and extremely powerful. I don't necessarily need it for protection but around this neck of the woods on the coast and earthquake can happen any time so I want it for survival as well. Not that that will ever be required but it's fun to plan for. :)

Looking forward to camping, if that's what you call with a nice trailer instead of a tent up in the mountains. :).

FX  Fx Impact mk2 which slug?

Hi guys
I have an Impact mk2 with power plenum.
Right now i have it setup with 600mm .30 barrel and is shooting 44 gr. JSB very well.
I recently bought 600 mm .22 barrel kit with superior and also one extra superior heavy liner.
The problem is that the maximum i can get out of the rifle is around 950 fps with 25 gr jsb knockouts with this 600 mm barrels.
Neither liner likes those 216 size knockouts.
The qustion is which grain and size slugs would you recomend and which liner to use.I know i will have to try a few to find the one my barrel likes but i just don't feel like buying all the slugs in the market.As far as i know .218 is better for Fx but i only had .216 at home and many tins of it.
I am also limited to about 25 gr or a little higher without modifying the rifle.
If there is anyone with similar setup and good results with slugs i would be thankfull for sharing info on which slugs he is using.
Regards Marko

Benjamin  Benjamin Kratos Review

Having owned a Benjamin Kratos .22 PCP for about 18 months now, I thought I'd share my experiences with it...

Some of the reviews of the Kratos on YouTube are quite good, and some of the targets shot at 50 and 100 yards are quite spectacular for a $700 PCP (1/2" at 50 yards). But you will find a mixed bag of reviews on the Kratos on the major airgun retailers' websites, with some claiming their Kratos is a laser, and others saying it can't hit the broad side of a barn. Unfortunately for me, my Kratos fell into the latter category.

After shooting just about every JSB and H&N pellet there is over the past 18 months, I saw the same consistent behavior in my Kratos. Over a 12 shot group at 50 yards, I might have 4 or 5 pellets in a 1/2" single ragged hole, with the rest of the pellets sprayed around the target 2 to 3 inches away, or even worse. Sometimes I would watch the pellets fly over the backing board as much as 18 inches from the target.

Then one day, my Kratos started hissing and losing air...and it was dead. After talking to Benjamin, I ultimately decided to send my Kratos to a 3rd Party authorized Benjamin warranty center called Airgun Revisions. They determined the loss of air was due to a faulty exhaust valve. After replacing the exhaust valve, and then testing my Kratos, they also found the horrible accuracy. So, they tried a new barrel on it. But to their surprise, the new barrel performed just the same, with some pellets flying true, and others flying off in all directions. And this had not been their experience with other Kratos' they had shot in the past.

After further investigation, they determined that my barrel and the other new barrel they tested had a 0.218 to 0.219 bore before the choke. Only the largest head size pellets were catching the rifling. So, they returned my Kratos after having also tuned it and installing a new spring kit. I guess the Kratos has always had very consistent air management for a non-regulated PCP, with mine being no different. When I got it back with the new spring kit and tune, it shot an amazing standard deviation of 3.99 over 79 shots (my chronograph missed a few shots), with an extreme spread of 18 fps. And it did better on accuracy with the H&N Field Target Trophy 5.55 pellets that they had recommended. But I still had some flyers ruining my groups, with those likely being pellets with head sizes slightly under 5.55mm in the tin (they had suggested I start sorting my pellets to find only those pellets with true 5.55 head sizes or larger). And I know serious competitors sort their pellets for defects, head size, weight, etc. But I felt like I would be looking for hen's teeth in anything other than the 5.55 FTT tins, and even with the 5.55 FTT tins, I was going to have to sort.

So, after shooting my Kratos for another week or so, and feeling very restricted on what I could do with it, I went a different route and ordered a new Lothar Walther barrel for it from Airgun Revisions. My hopes are that a new LW barrel will give me a reset for my Kratos and open up the entire field of .22 pellets to shoot and hopefully find an accurate pellet for it. With its excellent air management, and now a 15 oz trigger after their tune, I thought it was worth trying. It certainly couldn't get any worse...lol

Beeman  1982 Beeman Garage score-Yay or Nay? UPDATE...

I picked this one up at a garage sale today for $200. Came with all the paperwork & Beeman magazine (Fall 1982). Has a Bushnell scope and brass cleaning rod too. I took it home and fired around 20 pellets at a 30yd. target. Cocks very easy & only seeing 400ish fps w/ 7.9g CPHP...
So , did I pay too much? What will it take to make this a shooter at 30-50yds?
