I noticed I got some JSB 22 in 18g that where really dirty with lead dust and salt size lead particles. I cleaned them with Dawn dish soap and they came out pretty clean. I am wondering now should I lube them ?

If so can you recommend some lube.

I shoot PCPs only.

So … I picked up a used Avenger in .22 awhile back and was pretty pleased with it. Came to me in a Terminador stock which looks great and is very lightweight. shot pretty good as it came, but I absolutely hated the Terminador ldc. Wasn’t all that effective and looked horrible. So I ordered a Buck Rail adapter and suppressor. The adapter replaces the stock baffles, stabilizes the barrel, is a very effective air stripper. The suppressor screws onto it and looks like an extension of the shroud. Some of the absolute best 3d print work I have ever seen. And it works! I tuned this to shoot 18g Barricudas at ~835fps. And it is QUIET! Bunny fart quiet. If you own an Avenger I highly recommended this setup. You won’t be disappointed.
Gun is pretty accurate with the Barricudas, so I loaded a mag with Crosman 14.3 hollow points. You know, $7 for 500 at WalMart. 935fps
frickin’ lasers! More accurate than the Barri’s. Zero at 30yds under 1/2”. 1 1/2”@100 Put a clay bird out to 140yds. Distance put it off my reticle so instead of dialing inI Kentucky windaged it. 4 rounds later … no more bird! This , again, with cheap Crosman 14.3’s in a pretty decent wind. I am completely blown away by this $300 magic wand!The two on the left were my ranging shots.

Well much is said about the tx200 and all of it true. Many appreciate the HW50 but many deride it especially in the UK. But where it really matters Check out the groups. Rubbish distance but its all I have in the Garden.

PayPal email scam.

Has anyone activated the FX Legionaire thingy. I am not a FB, tweeker, tittok or any other 14 year old girl crap. I signed up after getting an email from FX. Sends you to some gay brand boss thingy or something. Is it a total waste of time ? No FX content that I could see.

This rifle was posted for over a month, no sale. He listed it again the other day, reduced. The only catch was you had to pick it up, he wouldn’t ship. He lived way up north so nobody wanted to drive there. They wanted him to drive 1 1/2 hours to meet them half way. Well I lived less than a hour away.
Only one problem, I have one. Well I now have 2 and plan on putting Doppler sights on it. I like this gun and I like the lines on it. Another one for the cycle.
I think I need some counselling. Crow

Huben k1 PCP pellet or slug
pusher, 2022 model, still has warranty, like brand new no scratches or damage, Donny fl adapter, picatinny rail, sling studs, original box and paperwork (scope and bipod not included) $1600

Need to make a Walmart run for assorted other things and thought I should buy another pellet to try, for a Daisy 880.

I’ve only tried Daisy pointed pellets (7.something grains) and RWS R10 wadcutters (8.2 grains). I remember seeing one or two other kinds at Walmart. Any recs on something different to try next? Maybe something with a domed head? I could mail order anything but just want a tin or two I can pick up in person, no fuss involved.

I'm always looking for new ideas for things to put in my pack that can help me in the field. This is what I carry.

15 ft rope
Tin cup
fishing line and hooks
duct tape
sharpening stone
zip ties
First aid kit
toilet paper (never leave home without it)
Rubber gloves
portable emergency poncho and blanket
folding saw Very useful tool! I use it for cutting brush that obstructs my view and for cutting fire wood.
Parachute cord
Spare pair of glasses
Light Sticks
Compass
Swiss army knife
flash light
asprin
dentalfloss
Hunting license (don't forget that)
Compact binoculars
fire starter kit, magnesium fire starter, matchs, butane lighters
portable gun cleaning kit.

When I was building rimfire benchrest rifles I had this killer shooting Benchmark barrel on an action of mine, I saved it in case I ever wanted to build myself another rifle. I thought of a way that I could turn it down without hurting the internal bore and I'm going to fit it on my MK3. I test fitted it today and it fits perfect, I just need to fit a .22 cal. transfer port and get a .22 cal. probe as my rifle is .25 cal. right now. With the reduction in weight from turning it down and getting it locked into the power block and the tensioner clamp, I think it should work very well......I will find out very soon......

I’ve had this gun since they invented it. Never sold it because it’s a great pitching wedge. Medium power, pleasure to shoot and no mechanical issues ever. But it’s one weakness is consistency. It’s a pretty darn accurate gun for the most part, but it’s like a crazy girlfriend. You just don’t know what you’re gonna get when you pick her up or get home from work. But after some flowers or compliments, it’s a great gun for the rest of that day. For the last year this has been my 14.3gr cheap pellet shooter. But on a recent trip for a family outing, I put it on a quality pellet in hopes of avoiding the crazy girlfriend syndrome. Day one, dialed it in and it was stellar. Day two it was off so we dialed it in and it was fine. Day three it was just not what it was the days before but still ok. The other guns I took were spot on all days. A couple weeks ago I was digging through my barrel collection and found a Kral barrel. Long sucker. I wondered if Kral barrels shoot 14.3 Crosmans. So I tried them in my Empire XS and Jumbo. They did pretty good but I needed a third opinion before I spent 3 hours on my lathe. I PM’ed Dr. Kralenstein and he basically said they will shoot. So yesterday it was crappy and a perfect day to build a barrel. I made it a smidge longer than stock and tightened the tolerances of the slip fit into the receiver. I used a Impact shroud and cut it to fit because I need an air stripper with such a short barrel. Shot the gun yesterday at the house, took it to my dads and shot it again. Then last night took it to my buddies and shot it. Brought it home and leaned it against a chair resting on the barrel. Got up today, still spot on. I mean cutting the same pellet holes from yesterday at 30 yards spot on. Haven‘t tested any other pellets except the Crosman 14.3 yet and I might not have to. So yes, this FX has a Kral barrel and so far, it’s better for it.

So I’ve noticed that my M3 is underperforming compared to a friends M3 at the range. I’m at 121 bar and pushing 24.8 .218 NSAs at 1002 FPS but my hammer spring is at 4.8ish.


My friend for comparison is pushing 27 grain .217 NSAs at 990 and only at 110 bar.

What’s weirder is that I have the power block and tungsten hammer and he has neither.

What’s goin on here?

Fresh off the FX remote R&D Workshop bench... The Half Breed - Part Maverick, Part Wildcat Mk3 BT, All Fun!! As pictured, a Maverick/Wildcat Halfbreed hybrid with custom 380mm Superior .22 barrel with Huggett Snipe moderator, 300cc CF Bottle, and Saber Tactical TRS Rail. With a Huggett Belitta moderator (it was on another gun at the time of this pic) the gun is 25in muzzle to Buttstock.. Talk about a compact that packs a whollop!! Enjoy..

I bought this brand new rifle with the newest HP GCU in 22 caliber in 2020 with the intention of using it for EBR and RMAC speed events but later decided I'm not shooting those bigger matches for the foreseeable future.
Another reason I'm selling this gun is I don't shoot pellets much anymore in powerful pcp's like this Redwolf because I have other powerful pcp's which I shoot more often while using slugs that I prefer for long range. I also bought a V3 recently to shoot slugs in so its time to let someone else enjoy this Redwolf, plus I wanted to keep the Redwolf in primo condition so it just sits in the safe.
I haven't shot it much, I doubt I have 3 tins of JSB MRD's through it.
It's in 99% condition and comes with all the original stuff that came in the box as well as it'll ship in the original box.

"""Also comes with 4 magazines two OEM and two are aftermarket.""". ""AND now 10 tins of JSB 22 cal 25.4gr MRD's!

Edit I've decided to offer some incentives to make a more desirable purchase.

Price for the RW is lowered on 7/27 to $2150 including 5 tins of 25.4gr JSB MRD's.
I can include a very lightly used Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 in MIL for $500 more/$2550, or in addition will include Sportsmatch 34mm rings/ $2600.

I don't take PP, so its cash FTF, cashiers check from a major bank, money transfer, money order, or Zelle.

I tried it with Altaros slugs and it shoots them quite well. These slugs have about the same G1 BC than 22rf 40gr lead bullet! Altaros 31.2 gr slugs labeled "A" at 60 yards on most of the target, as well as the JSB 25.4 MRD's on the low right. Absolutely no tuning has been done to this gun so I'm sure it'd do better with a good tune and will shoot pellets better with a decent batch. The batch I shot those groups with gives flyers sometimes.
When I first got the gun I had 1.5 tins left that Mike N gave me and they shot fantastic through this gun but I ran out.

The Alaros 32.3 gr Smooth also shoot well in this RW and maybe even a hair better.


Athlon Cronus scope and rings not included in the $2100 price.

MK4 sold.
Tank is now sold.

EDIT - I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THE ILLUME CAP IS STRIPPED, ARRRRG!!!!!!
I'VE NOW REDUCED THE PRICE TO $150 PLUS SHIPPING.

Scope, all the accessories on it, and the rings, are still for sale.

It's a older SFP G1 Hawke 8-32 scope in MOA with Range Wheel and inserts, the eye shade, the sunshade, the range pointer, and level.
Probably cost $100 for the Sportsmatch rings and accessories when new.

I decided to keep the pellets.

I don't take PP anymore, so cash, a cashiers check, Zelle, or bank transfer, are the payment methods I would like.

Shipping and insurance has gotten expensive so that is extra depending on where you live in Conus and how fast you want the stuff. I'd be willing meet up for a FTF transaction and deliver the gun in the Phoenix area at my convenience or in northern AZ.

Hello everyone,

I had some small drop pieces of steel flashing and I decided to make a small Quonset Hut style Bird Feeder out of them. Couple of pieces of scarp wood, a bit of paint and whal-la the Deadliest Squirrel magnet . I mounted the Feeder out next to my 25-yard steel targets so that all the seeds that fall out of the Feeder will land on the ground next to the targets. As you can see in the third photo this guy thought he had found a free meal but it turned out to be a .177 cal pellet to the brain .

If you can catch him

@Scotay42 package has been sent

I shoot CPHP at about 1.5 cents each. Also JSB's 25 grains at about 4.5 cents each. But what is the cost per round for compressed air?

Obviously that cost is going to vary depending on the equipment you use to compress air and the FPS you're sending down range.

Here's a quick example for my AEA HP Carbine in .25 cal.


The fill calculator says I can re-fill my AEA from my 97cu great white tank about 18 times. I get about 40 shots per fill and it takes 30 mins to refill the great white with my YH compressor.

Lets say I get 100 hours out of the YH before it needs replacing. That's 200 fills or 200x18x40 = 144,000 shots. Assuming the cost of $300 for your YH and that's $300/144,000 = $0.0021 (2/10th of one cent per round). Of course that does not factor in electricity or compressor oil etc. Maybe you also get 200-300 hours out of a YH, so the cost is way less.

So in conclusion, even for a medium power round of about 35-40fpe, and using a cheap crappy disposable compressor, the cost is insignificant when compared to the cost of pellets.

Ok guys, so I sold my last 25cal airgun yesterday, and now have to fill the void.
for a little information, I primarily use my guns for woods walking, backyard petting, and shooting from my truck. The gun that filled this position before was a leshiy 2 25cal.
so what’s next? I’m not much of a bull pup guy (not a fan of the ping in my ear), and I really like carbines. If evol made a 25caliber, I wouldn’t be asking this question.
so my criteria are basically 25 caliber, decently rugged, Removsble magazine, compact or foldable for transport, decent power, but nothing crazy. The largest game I will take with it is coyote inside of 50yds.

so far I’ve looked at the panthera hunter with folding stock. I like it’s ability to tune up and down for certain opportunities. It also seems to have a more rugged build and barrel setup.

any other recommendations from the masses?

This gun is so nice and I even feel if you bought one new it's a extremely good value.

IS it conveniently possible to tune on a hunt for different animals ? Say you are shooting .22 cal for Squirrel ,along comes the opportunity to shoot that chicken stealing fox .
Can this "on the run" tune be done and a change in pellet for new target larger animal ?
