On this thread we will gradually add more other video parts of this mini-series with shooting at crazy long range distances, and at the same time we will gradually reveal here the newly prepared Altaros M24 rifle, which will be able to shoot even more accurately and at a longer distance than the rifle in the video on one mile !
We will offer the rifle in a unique set with all needed accessories for shooting over 1000 yards right out of the box.

1 Mile Airgun Shooting - First Time in History - Part One

More information about the upcoming M24 rifle set can be found on our website, including photos of the newly prepared aluminum stock:

Researching my pending HW97K tune. What tune kit would be best? Maccari or Vortek? HO spring or not? Thanks !

I suppose now that FX has introduced the new Panthera line with all its variants, production of current models will grind to a halt. I’m still waiting for a Wildcat Mk3 BT Compact. What say ye FX?

I just applied for this FX Panthera .25 Cal.



A 580 cc bottle in the front and a 300 cc bottle in the rear.

Fingers crossed !!!

Apparently there are two alternatives:

a) a super accurate rifle with a lot of shots per fill; or

b) the acquisition of a bag of problems after paying a lot of money.

I will report the result, even if it was a super big mistake.

Just rolled in!

So I think I know the answer already but hey worth a shot. Now I get it's his business and it's a way of promoting said business but main totally throws off the flow of the ghost. Now it's not a sticker or decal it's all flush so I don't think there is a way to get ir off but it's worth an ask. Thanks everyone for the help.

This guy was the same guy who posted the controversial video using a human dummy in one of his videos.

Imagine what kind of sick human being you have to be to set up a pedestal to mutilate an animal for pleasure? Im no hippie, I have permissions and am pro hunting, but this guy shares a lot of similarities with Jeffrey Dahmer, he too started his psychotic career with the mutilation of animals for pleasure.

You don't have to agree with me , thats ok, this is just an opinion

***MODERATOR EDIT***

Video removed for SELF DEFENSE connection.

Since I bought this rifle some years ago I was not really comfortable with the accuracy.

Last night I thought: What can I do for that rifle to make it more accurate?...... Then I remember I had not recrown it yet.

First thing in the morning went to my studio, took the Bantam unscrew the shroud and the tip that holds the shroud in place and recrown it.

Went shooting and immediately notice that with the JSB 8.4 grain the accuracy was really good. Then I load a magazine with NSA slugs ..... Perfectly accurate also !!!

I just shot to 70 yards, but at that distance now that small rifle is pefectly functional !!

Another medal for the drill and the magic recrowning tip !!

Hello
My little CS-3 broke the other day and I have been asking here about compressors and not the cheap stuff. I have had some good input but I also entertained the idea of a 6K Nitrogen tank setup. So I called a local welding supply store here in OK. They said they would check on pricing and get back to me. WOW!!!!! NOT happening at all.
Bottle rental is $2.80/day (1,022/year)
Content pricing $120 per fill
Does not cover delivery or filling/exchange charge.

Plus one time cost of regulator 300-500 at least.

So basically I will save up for the Coltri or Airtex.

I thought it was worth checking out since I'd seen some people's threads on how affordable it was except for the reg price but not around NW OK. Now maybe a national supply store might have better deals but they require info to run credit check and personal info and I am not going to give them that for a stupid bottle rental. This company requires that the "account" be open first before the will check on pricing so I'm out on that company.

Thanks
Jon

Looking for opinions on the HW100 Sporter Stock vs Thumbhole Stock version.
Pluses and Minuses for either?
My current arsenal has the more traditional stocked airguns and I have been intrigued about whether a thumbhole stock offers any benefits for shooting accuracy over the standard stock.
I'll be purchasing one of these in the near future and am seeking guidance.

In a previous video I looked at the performance of other pellets such as AA 10.3 Field Heavy at 50-yards. This video checks out the AA Field Diablo 8.4 grain pellets at 50-yards. These are 4.52mm head sorted to 8.4 grains.

There was some wind at times. There was also a biting fly attack which messed with me while shooting target 1. It is noted in the time log. I didn't edit anything out as it seems only fair to take real word events into account. Besides it was a bot funny.

The sighter target has 5 shots for those who prefer 5 shot groups. Target 1 has 12 shots with 2 flyers. One flyers was the opening shot and the second flyer was following the bug attack. It hurt BTW. Target 2 is a standard 10 shot bull.

I am using my TX200 MKIII in .177 (FAC) which was recently rebuilt with standard AA FAC parts. There is an addition of a 3MM washer in front of the top hat. This washer is supposed to help smooth out the shot cycle when using heavier pellets. I think it helps, but it could be a placebo. I have a Vortex Diamondback Tactical ffp 6x24 50mm scope. I am shooting from a bench using an Allen rest with a Protektor front and rear bag. I

The JTS .25 caliber Brawn bullpup was announced at the 2023 Shot Show, with a suggested retail of $499. Does anyone know when this will be released in the wild; and what the street price may be?

I posted some work with the AA 10.3's previously. I don't shoot 8.4 grain as often but they do pretty well. Here is a video using my TX200 MKIII in .177 (FAC) after being rebuilt with standard AA FAC parts. There is an addition of a 3MM washer in front of the top hat. This washer is supposed to help smooth out the shot cycle when using heavier pellets. I think it helps, but it could be a placebo.

I am running a Vortex Diamondback Tactical ffp 6x24 50mm scope. I am shooting from a bench using an Allen rest with a Protektor front and rear bag. This video checks out the AA Field Diablo 8.4 grain pellets at 50 yards. These are 4.52mm head sorted to 8.4 grains. There was some wind at times. There was also a biting fly attack, which messed with me while shooting target 1. I didn't delete nor make excuses. The video does have a time log and it is noted in the time log. There are 3 bulls. The sighter target has 5 shots for the 5 shot crew. Target 1 has 12 shots as I threw one and felt 1 needed a redo do to the attack. One is an opening flyer, and the second flyer following the bug attack. Target 2 is a standard 10 shot bull.

This is an update to some older posts of mine with new information about the defective bleed valve on the small Tuxing filter with the shutoff valve on it. If you buy this part, be sure to replace the bleed valve assembly with a better built bleed valve so as to not have a dangerous situation where the bleed screw can shoot out of the fitting under pressure like mine did.

If you want to be able to keep remove a filled gun from the fill whip without having to dump all the air in your water trap / filter just add these inexpensive components and you are good to go.


Diagram of where everything goes.




As noted above, be sure to replace the defective bleed valve on the silver Tuxing filter with something like this. I think that mine ended up being M10 but you never know what you are going to get from stuff off Aliexpress. Check it first.

Link to the part on eBay.




With all those items in place you can remove guns / tanks from the setup without losing pressure in your water trap AND restart your compressor with no load on it, saving quite a bit of time when filling multiple items in a row vs bleeding out the water trap every time. My double tube water trap takes longer to fill than most of my guns! Now there is no more waiting for it to fill.

Yes, it felt like a massacre of the starlings with so many of them getting blown up with my Impact shooting the 25gr H&N slugs.

Enjoy.

Hey guys. I have an odd problem which I have never experienced on any of my rifles and I need some help. If anyone had the same problem or if they now what it could be please chime in.

Backstory:
A friend purchased his first PCP (AEA Challenger Pro .22) and he wanted to make a nice photo of it. He put it on a fireplace mantle and of course the gun fell on the floor.
The damage he did (or at least that I can see) is that the barrel is bent downwards. No big deal as I've printed him a barrel band to center the barrel.
Everything else seems fine except the power. When the gun first came the reg was set to 90. His rifle is the new model with an external adjustable regulator. As the manual still shows the old rifle he didn't want to tinker and brought the gun to me to fix and check. Well the gun spews bullets. They reach maybe 4fpe on a good day with 300fps. So something is wrong.

What I did:
I tested the gun with my chrono (yes it does work properly) and it's true. You can see the slow ass bullet when it gets shot and the gun is quiet. No bark as some people mentioned.
I turned the reg from 90 to 130 and all the way up to 150 and there are minor changes to speeds (maybe 50fps). I changed the springs and the result is the same. So it doesn't matter if I use the hard (orange-ish) or soft (black) spring. Transfer port is on max by the way but I have tested it on all settings with same result.

Then I tore the gun apart and checked everything and I do mean everything (well I didn't open the reg as the reg gauge shows the proper number based on two different gauges so the plenum should have the proper amount of air). I even swapped out the gauges in case they got damaged. I can't find anything wrong with it.
The only thing I did find out is that the gun is so weak I can plug the barrel and the air won't come out of it and it will blast backwards that's how weak the gun is. I wouldn't do that on any of my rifles but there's clearly something I'm missing.

I have shot a few blanks to see if the air is leaking somewhere else but it's not. At least I can't find it. Also all the orings are in perfect condition (duh since the doofus broke a day old gun).

So if anyone has some insight please help.

Thanks and have a great day.

Selling an RTI Prophet Performance with the Walther Long Range barrel. Bought used from Airguns Of Arizona in April. I like the Gun just not using it. Comes with one 11 round original magazine and one 16 round, bought from Orion the Iguana Hunter. One Amazon bipod, a suppressor from Buckrail and a cheaper Monstrum scope.
Asking $1000 shipped.

Pretty much I would not need it for anything else.
Only to see if my pellets/slugs flying error free from the tune = no corkscrewing. So pretty much "one time use".
So far I could not justify spending $500+ for the rig, but also I stoped my club membership and have no longer access to multiple distance ranges to check the tune on every 5 meters if hits the same X.
Anything inexpensive cam on horison that can do slow mo in quality?

Couple going in the mail tomorrow. I need to take better pictures.

182 mm x 40 mm at 5 and 1/4 oz 30 caliber: 5 Tesla Baffles and one diffuser/stripper. FDM printed endcaps, resin printed baffles. EZtap steel insert.

103 mm x 30 mm at 2.15 Oz 17 caliber: 4 Tesla Baffles and one diffuser/stripper. Resin printed endcaps, FDM printed stripper/diffuser, Helicoil insert to accomodate a very short thread on the gentleman's rifle.

The Mav is resting @ FX waiting on the boat from Sweden. I jest, of course. Talked to tech today. Promising to get on it as soon as part of arrive. Cocking rod guide broken along with hammer spring. Only 2nd one he's seen break.
So I got a real gun. Kelly @ Krazy Kool set me up with a 25 limited. Whata gun!
Light enough to walk & stalk.
286 yds @ a 3" spinner. Been watching them forever but wanted the glitches out of them. This is a slug gun.254 diameter.
Of course a lot more dependable @ 100. All day bangers.

I peruse the Classifides virtually every day. It amazes me that very few springers and CO2 ever cross the auction block any more. Are they highly sought after and therefore not for sale or are people losing interest in them?
Thoughts?

listing my maverick that is just sitting. its currently set up in 177 but i have the barrel kit for .25 caliber. you can pick either caliber or both. it comes with 1 magazine in each caliber. im asking $1200 shipped + $ if you want the 0DB moderator. if you want the other barrel kit we can work out a package deal. im also willing to trade for something modern of similar value like a daystate, BRK , wildcat BT or even a krait. im open to offers also.

Is there an email address for John Thomas(the tuner)?

Helping a buddy get into the pcp hobby that’s left handed. I understand fx has the M3 test can be set for left handed cocking but now the aftermarket gets involved to move the mag to the left side, which I want to avoid especially for a starter gun.

What are the guns out there are benchrest worthy, that come either with fixed left hand cocking or can be made to be left hand friendly, with no issues of the mags getting in the way? I’d like to put together a list to present to my friend so he can look at his budget to see what works. After I had told him about my RMAC trip he showed enthusiasm in attending that event for next year.

Thanks, all
