WTB weihrauch springers. If you have any leads on some please send a pm thank you. Already have an HW80

Does anyone happen to have the email contact to get a heliboard for my Redwolf?
Is the heliboard still preferred over the Daystate programmer?
Thanks

I was just curious how many would do the HFT UK version in a match? I'm just getting started in AAFTA so I'm just asking. I doubt many would because a lot of folks can't shoot prone or get on the position very easily. I just like the simplicity of it and how I grew up shooting.

Thanks

So I need to purchase some scope rings for my new toys, FX Maverick Sniper combined with an Element Helix scope. Every other scope I’ve ever received always came with one and I accepted the ring mount height. So now that I need to get one is there a lot of difference in the manufacturer and quality? Especially from the same manufacturer, because there sure are differences in price. Am I wrong in thinking that the taller height would give my neck a break looking thru so I don’t have to cock my head too much over rifle?

I have owned the M3, MK2, Maverick, Dreamline, Wildcat, and many other brands. I must say…this rifle is totally different.

So interesting story for today. These guys next to me were shooting .243 and a .300 win mag. They had targets out to 300 yards. Then, they decided to shoot at a clay pigeon they had set up at 215 yards. Bang bang bang. They shot so many times…not one could hit it…and damn was it loud! I’m sitting there watching for a solid 5-10 minutes lookin at them miss through my rangefinder. Then I say “wait…let me try” in my head. I ask them if I can take a shot at it. They say sure thing. Cool guys. Mind you 215 yards and I’m shooting 24.8 grain Nielsens close to 1000 FPS btw. I plug in the data in the ballistics calculator (I’m on power 5 and I forgot to input that velocity in)…so my first shot goes high. But I’m talking directly above high. Wind doesn’t even push it. I adjust and I barely miss it by millimeters on the second shot.

Adjust down one more time (this is a hold under)…I tell the guy who is spotting my shots for me “third times the charm.” I shoot and the thing bursts. 3 shots and I nail it at 215 yards. If I had realized that I had the power turned up a little higher, I don’t think I’d have needed 2 extra shots. If that was a turkey at 215 yards…I would’ve got it no sweat on the second shot. 100% my most accurate PCP. That guy spotting next to me said “well I guess we know who the sharpshooter of the group is.” Lol.

Pic below is a 5 shot group at 52 yards. 0.38 inches shooting NSAs at near 1000 FPS (it might be over 1000 FPS…I was using a $25 Chinese chrony so that may be why I was shooting higher when I dialed for 215 yards)

I was also shooting varmint knockers at 1050 FPS on micro 2 and reg at 115! Those grouped pretty darn well too. Sub-MOA.

Just wondering what happens to my post count. I’m just getting back into airgunning again after a few year break and my post count is gone like I’m a brand new member?

Fx impact mk2 .22 700mm
720plenum

Just grabbed a 45 min MSA tank for 130.00 with a 2019 hydro test. So I should be good to get filled correct?
However, the seller stated it was a 4500 psi tank. Isn't this a 2216 psi? So I can not really use it if I'm thinking correct.

Since the day I received my RTI Prophet 2 I did not like the location of the magazine. No matter how I held the gun, the magazine was either right under my ear or my eye. It is uncomfortable and raised some "back of my mind gnawing at me" safety concerns the more I shot it. I was getting small puffs of air in my ear or eye every shot and have been wanting to get a cheek rest that completely shields my face from the magazine area.

Well, today I was testing some ammo, loading single shot from my indoor bench and I think my head kept moving farther back on the gun with each shot. After a few rounds, I pulled the trigger and apparently the cocking handle was not fully forward. When the hammer fell I got a very loud, MASSIVE blast of air right into my right eye. Fortunately I always wear safety glasses so there was no damage that I can tell other than I am guessing I will have a black eye under the eyeball. It was pretty painful even with the glasses deflecting most of the blast. Once I had composed myself and checked for blood on my face, I went to a mirror and I fully expected, by how it felt to have some visible damage to my eyeball and / or the skin around it but there was just a slight amount of ruptured capillaries in the white of the eye like you would see with a bad case of hayfever.

From today forward, I will be laying a thick rubber mat over the magazine area until I get a well built cheek rest that will totally shield my face from any air coming out of the chamber area. I am also going to triple check to make sure the cocking mechanism is fully forward and latched!

Looking for an atomic in 22. Figured I’d see if there were any used before going new.

Let me know what you have!
Thanks for looking!

This is a feeler to see if I should sell or not.

I have a practically brand new crown mk2 (less than a tin theough it) that I purchased in 22cal with 600mm barrel. I purchased a 22cal 280mm barrel for it and shot it for a while. I then purchased a 30cal 500mm barrel and a 25cal 500mm barrel kits for it and a bullet central barrel tension system with shroud for the 500mm barrels.
So it will come with all these barrel setups with mags and probes. The 22 and 30 have factory side shot mags, the 25 setup has an Orion mag.

Comes with favors hard case and all paperwork, all battles, bullet central kit, saber tactical bottle clamp, tuxing 580cc bottle, and will throw in the Donny FL fx moderator in 22 that originally came with it

No scope or bipod included.

Would like to get $1900 shipped for everything, or shoot me an offer for it without certain barrel kits or barrels. I’m open to ideas.

Thanks for looking!

***will trade for evol 30cal magnon, prs, or paradigm***

As you can see by my profile I haven't been active in a while. At this point I don't have any .22 airguns (only .177 now), but I do have some high quality .22 ammo I would like to sell:

JSB Hades 15.89 grain - 3 full tins of 500 plus one partial tin of 228 - $51.00 plus shipping. Sold.
JSB Exact Jumbo Monster 25.39 grain - 4 full tins of 200 - $34.00 plus shipping. Sold to lwm211
JSB Exact Jumbo Heavy 18.13 grain - 4 full tins of 500 plus one partial tin of 165 - $56.00 plus shipping. Sold to lwm211
JSB Exact Jumbo 15.89 grain - 4 full tins of 500 plus one partial tin of 326 - $70 plus shipping. Sold

Some of these tins are unopened with the factory tape seal. Some have been opened at some point in the past couple of years, but I have verified they are full tins. These are the ones with blue tape around the edges in the photo. The number of pellets in the partial tins was verified by weight - not individual count.

Shipping - CONUS only - Priority Mail preferred - I can calculate shipping once we make contact. I'll have to create a box depending on what you may want. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those great pellet shipping boxes.

Payment by PayPal friends and family or add 3% if you'd rather choose the commercial payment option.

I'm selling my barely used FX Panthera 700 .22 Cal
It is equipped with everything you need and some:

- FX Panthera Double Air Adapter
- Two Airmarksman 300 Bar carbon fiber bottles 300cc + 580cc. I still have the original 250 Bar 300cc CF bottle
- FX 8mm Hammer Weight installed by FX service center (It allows you to boost the reg up to 175 Bar if you are into breaking the sound barrier...)
- 0db silencer 110C Black
- Three additional 17 shots magazines from Orion Iguana Hunter (the original FX mag is an 18 shot)
- Element Nexus 5-20x50mm 30mm Tube First Focal Plane Rifle Scope
- WestHunter Adjustable Height Precision Scope mount

Currently, the reg is set at 160 and it shoots Zan's .217 40gr slugs to 990 FPS with incredible precision and consistency

I paid $4670 for the package and I'm asking $3500.

Or I can sell the gun without the scope for $2400 instead of $3100 new.
I only shot a few hundred slugs so the gun is as new except for a minor scratch on the left side of the barrel
I have all the originals parts

FX Service Center installed the double bottles and the Hammer Weight and tested and tuned the rifle.

Helos BTR Gen2 4-20X50, Excellent condition about one year old. Great scope but I've decided I prefer sfp scopes.
$500 $475 shipped CONUS PP F&F or buyer pays fee.

FS BSA R-10 .22 MKI in walnut. Bought this from John Whitfield in 2011 and he'd done a few write ups on it on the old yellow forum and BSAOG. Loves 18g JSBs. Shooting at 30fpe. Don't want to sell but gotta scratch another itch. Was resealed 3 years ago and installed a Huma reg and Huma Guage. Includes gun, newer .22 magazine and fill probe. Can add the scope and BLK BSA mounts for another $90. $625 shipped CONUS. PP + fees or USPSMO.

This week I have been revisiting my ss and playing with getting it to shoot 25 grain at about 900-925 fps . I feel I have it where I want it now but in the process of doing it I had to take a lot of shots and I'm noticing my ears are ringing. The gun isn't very loud at all but I think when the hammer slaps the tank it makes a strange ping noise....has this bothered any of you in the hearing dept???

Looking to sell my Panthera 22 cal 700mm.
comes with factory mag and 1 Orion mag.
have two Saber Tatical weights on the barrel.
Has the 910 PinPoint trigger blade installed.
purchased a few months back.
Just don't use it in the PRS like I thought, cuz of time restrictions.


Tuned to shoot 34g H &N .217 very well.
$1800 split the shipping cost. Lower 48 only.
Can work out the payment options, PP, Venmo, ect

Not looking for any trades at this time.
Does not include scope.

Thanks

Have asked the ? before ,do everyone have to re log in every time you use the forum? I do!! Cheers Mal.

Only has two useable shots. I keep one in the tube. I've been being sloppy and tossing an extra pellet in the pistol case, and it keeps going missing. Trying to brainstorm ideas for something to hold one pellet on the gun.

Lets take my .25 cal marauder for example, it sports a 19.5" barrel, .225" ports and 53 cc plenum @ 2100~ psi. All the graphs shown are with 33.9 gr.

What happens with various barrel lengths at plateau power? Well for one, if you chop the Marauder barrel in half, it will output basically half the energy, if you double the barrel, it would nearly double the energy, with the right weight projectile, or if you add 10% barrel length, you will add nearly 10% energy potential to the system. This wouldn't come for free, and you would need to dwell and keep the valve open nearly twice as long to get twice the air into a system with twice the barrel of course to obtain twice the energy...

So when someone asks, how many fps will 1" of barrel add? Well that depends on your existing barrel length! For a 10" barrel, 10% FPE, for a 20" barrel, 5% FPE, then you can determine your velocity/fps increase based on that. Clearly adding 1" to a 6" barrel increases FPS a lot more than adding 1" to a 28" barrel.




What happens with various port sizes? Well if I half my port size from .225 down to .1125, I would get half the power at plateau...same applies in reverse, you double power output. 10% increase/decrease should relate closely to a 10% change in energy. Likewise you would use more air as power increases, or less as it decreases at plateau as you're expending more or less appreciable air behind the pellet before it exits the muzzle, provided you adjust your hammer strike. Largest port possible closest to bore diameter allows the shortest dwell time possible in a system as the lift generated to expel for example 1000 mg of air through a .25" equal port for a .25 cal takes less time than that of a .2" equal port or less, thereby increasing dwell time / the pressure pulse making it less efficient than a system with larger porting closer to bore diameter.

vs


Half the pressure? Half the power!

vs


All this to say, energy increase is fairly linear with Pressure, Barrel Length changes, and Port sizing changes until you reach limitations placed by physics, be it speed of sound, or otherwise, such as exceeding the diameter of bore on air flow path, or exceeding regulator setting/fill pressure. However doubling the caliber would provide closer to 4x the power increase if you're on the hunt for power.



And projectile weight where power stops increasing once pellet weight is 1/2 the FPE in grains and velocity is 950~ fps. This can be seen middle of chart.




And of course, plenum changing alone...



Where the graph goes off the chart its flat and shows no real gains to be had, beyond 3 fpe/ci shows no real gains for a pcp's air delivery system, however a good sweet spot for max power is a bit over 1 fpe/ci with a good workable range being .4 fpe/ci to 1.6 fpe/ci. One could supplement smaller plenum volumes with increases pressure by that is not the point of this discussion as one could simply run longer barrels as well, or larger ports, it all provides more energy if plenum volume won't get you there, unless you want to max everything out, then you should be at your max regulator setting anyhow and that discussion is moot. Hope this helps some tinkers out there understand changes they can or have made to their airguns.


Regulator refresh rate? Oh ya, theres that too...it effects your pressure during the shot cycle!

This started out as a Crosman 2240 it has a upgrade valve barrow, adjustable, hammer, spring still breach the 2240 b CO2 tube maybe more I just forgot also comes with a short barrel and pistol grips covers also CO2’s it is shooting the low 500 ft./s depending on the weather because it is CO2 very accurate also comes with scope 180 tyd

0.25cal Currently at 130/90 pushing 35ft/lbs or so. PW at 1, adjustment cw all the way in.

Trying to back out the power even more! Anyway to get it down to 30 or even 25 ft lb? For mouse fart squirrelling out to 15 yards max
