I've had a couple of barrels that benefit from Gunzilla lubed projectiles...

I just found a couple tins I lubed maybe 18 months ago in this state....


Luckily it's only one full tin, and a couple tin remnants like this one.

The carrier in Gunzilla seems to have gassed off, leaving the solids. This looks like oxidation but isn't, as it can be wiped off easily. It's almost like a toothpaste consistency.

I was warned of this but hadn't yet encountered it myself.

I'll still use the Gunzilla as a lube and especially as a barrel cleaner, but will be more careful not to get too far ahead of my active consumption with lubed projectiles.

Looking for a 15" Evol .22. Let me know what you got.

2023 N50 Nationals, NRA Whittington Center, Raton, NM is history. Constant threats of thunder storms made us nervous but good weather prevailed. Every late afternoon met us with thunder and lightning . Saturday morning gave us surprising strong switchy winds and Sunday's conditions were more pleasant.
Really nice folks (old & new) in this sport - I'm happy to call them all my friends.

Sorry guys.. It was dumb to post only the top ten. The reason - I was tired and that's my "excuse". I apologize.

Hi Folks,
Any recommendations for the best material to use to shim a scope, and any tips on the best way to go about it?
Many thanks,
Pete.

When I bought my current home in 2013 it had one large oak tree on one side of the back yard and 6 on the other side. Squirrels would normally go up the one tree and sometimes jump to the closest tree on the other side while up in the trees. For 7 years I killed a bunch of squirrels out of that one tree. Sometimes I got on from the trees on the other side but the one tree, I called it my killing tree, was the primary location of squirrels when I shot them. My Prod was my main airgun during the time that tree was alive. It's killed 15 squirrels, most of them out of that tree. My Avenger also got one and my P35-25 got many of it's 18 out of that tree. I'll include a sunset picture of the live tree and a picture of my then 3 year old grand daughter standing beside the tree after it fell.

It fell mainly into my neighbors yard and I hired a tree service to get rid of it but asked them to leave what was left of the stump. I cut that up into slabs that I then dried. First I used a piece to make a buttstock. Then I made grips. Last week the 2 inch thick piece I wanted for the forend was down to about 8 per cent moisture content and I made the forend completing the stock. Because it came from the stump of a dying tree the wood is highly figured and there is some spalting. That is the white areas although not all the very light colored wood is spalted.

Dear friends, users of EDgun products, haters of EDgun products, those who doesn’t care but is interested in what, in fact, happened in UK in the beginning of this year.

Shortly:

• There was an information bout the case in beginning of February 2023.
• Dave, the owner of exploded L2, was so kind that arranged the shipment of the remains to Russia.
• I got them in the beginning of the summer and then made the contract with the special laboratory to make the test.
• At the end of summer I got the results.

Here are the conclusion of expert, in Russian, that is understandable , for those who wants to make the precise translation – Google translator will help you, no doubt.

For those who wants to know only the final parts it sounds this way:

• Expert failed to find some production or metal fails which could lead to the explousure. Conclusion – the material, processing and manufacturing is OK.
• Based on the examine expert found out that there are much remains of the oxygen in the area of corrosion.
• The destruction started from the corrosion spot.
• The material of both reservoirs, the remains and the test one was tested to meet the standard according to the chemical proportion. It is D16T, as it should be.

Based on the conversation with the expert I can say, that they have no tools to find out what was the reason for starting the process of the corrosion, but he said that misuse of the owner could be a reason. He underlined that using the compressed air with the moisture in it (that usually happens while using the small compressor and hands pumps without the proper dryer), can lead to that result.

Unfortunately, the moisture with some addings (like oil and so on) in the conditions of the high pressure can be very aggressive to the alum alloy.

That is why I, personally, avoid using undried air and use ONLY air from the tanks, filled at the fire department or dive centers, who use air for breathing.

My recommendation to those who has no possibility to use dry air and have to use small compressors or hand pumps – use the best dryer you can find and make the check-out of the inside surface of the reservoirs on the constant base.

From my side, as the manufacturer, I cannot see any mistakes, which was confirmed by this expertise and with my light heart keep going on making the guns using all necessary measures to make them as safe as possible.

With the best regards

Ed

So am having an issue with getting my HW50 in 177 zeroed.

Backstory: Bought the gun used from a fellow member here. Gun looks great barely used, has an upgraded Vortex kit.

Purchased TO4C rings for the gun based off of suggestions here from pyramid air.

Purchased vortex 4-12x40AO scope new from B&H. Went with Vortex over Hawke due to VIP warranty.

Mounted said scope and rings on gun and tried to zero and scopes elevation was bottomed all the way up at 20 yards to get a 1.5-2” low zero.


Took everything off today and double checked rings and ring tension. Re zeroed scope and same issue. Scope has to be cranked all the way out to the Upper limit for a 1” or so low zero at 20 yards.

Gun shoots great. Tested 2 pellets and shows great consistency. Even with the low zero I am able to make hits out to 50 yards.

Rock at 50 yards on fence post.



So my question is what am I missing which is requiring the scope to be cranked all the way up to be zeroed?

Someone mentioned barrel droop in my scope thread but the gun does not appear to have that issue. Is there a way to measure for that? If it is barrel dropping how do I fix it?




The only 2 things I can think of is something is wrong with one of the rings causing a zero issue. Or scope is defective in some way.

I measured the rings and both seem to be the same size from receiver to bottom of scope. They were taken off and inspected today and reinstalled.

I also cranked the turret down 12 clicks and the response was reflected on the target so it appears the scope is properly tracking.



Seems as if I have 2 options. Send the scope back to Vortex, or shim the front ring to gain more elevation and rock on.

What’s yalls thoughts on the issue?
If shimming the front ring what’s the best way to do that?
Was thinking of a small strip of electrical tape in the bottom of the front ring.

I was degassing my AEA HP SS by loosening the pressure gauge. Then, with a loud pop the gauge blew apart! I was NOT wearing my protective eye wear. This was a very unexpected event to occur in respect to what was done. I am very fortunate to not have been struck by the shrapnel.

WEAR YOUR PPE.

I'm looking for 22 air rifle that is between 600 and 695 fps thr higher the better for squirrel hunting I live in Illinois and can't get food card thanks for any help you can give

Hello everyone! New member here trying to get my ten post to buy my first air rifle off of the classifieds.

I apologize if this topic has been beat to death but I’m looking for some advice. I have a budget of $400 to purchase my first rifle, and about $100 for a pump. Oregon does not allow big game hunting yet but does allow for coyote management. I’m needing some advice on what I should be looking for at this price range. I.e cal and even better if you can point me at a specific rifle or brand. We have a pretty big problem with coyotes on our farm. And in the area in general. I’m backed by about 5k acres of timberland.

Thank you everyone.

Got a buddy that is getting a little too comfortable around here...

I took my HW90 .20 out on my range this morning. As usual I was stunned by its performance. Once zeroed it was flawless.Odd for me to say, because a HW90 .25 was the first Weihrauch I bought, absolutely hated this gun. Sat on wall after, for 2 years.
A member Jayjay did a post on the 90 which blew me away. That’s when I bought the HW90 .20 and the pump and gauge. At the same time I bought a few Weihrauchs, so again the 90’s sat and waited.
On a post of mine a member Frogy kept posting his 90 .22 cal. how awesome it was at 18 bar. Finally gave me the drive to dig out the 90’s. I put mine at 18 bar, presto, you wouldn’t think it’s the same gun.
‘Love the triggers, on the .25, it went from a danger to a dream. All I did was turn it down to 18 bar. No explanation.
‘Cutting a 10 oz. Mushroom can in half hanging by chain 30 yds. Best with a 97 .22 was 38 shots. The 90 .25 blew that away with 34 rounds. With the 90 .20 today, killed it at 30 rounds. What a gun.
I’m not sure which model was a Beeman, like to see a few. If you have one, or a 90, love to see your gem. Crow

I haven’t seen too many pics yet of the FT event, so thought I would just post the few that I took. If anyone else has any please feel free to post them. I myself had a blast in the Benchrest and Field Target and really wish I would’ve entered the gunslinger “ springer” event.

Looking for anyone or any shops around the Fresno Central Valley area here in California who does services and can help me install some accessories on my impact m3

For tinkerers to the hard core of you, I found some very...high grade Allan drivers (plus other drivers) today.

With my recent introduction to the RC car hobby, along with the air guns, requiring PROPER fitting Allan wrenches to keep from ruining hex fasteners, I found THE drivers today.
In looking at different drivers available, and comments from users on a couple of different RC forums, there seems to be two or three companies that are of higher grade tools, and a LOT of cheaper, questionable tool manufacturers.

I looked into the MIP (Moore's Ideal Products). While yes, they are a little expensive, after a walk though the manufacturing plant today while purchasing a a few drivers, was enlightening. And yeah, I'm not easily impressed. Yes, they happen to be close by my house. I even met mister Moore as he walked out the door !
As some of you know, I worked most of my life in the Aerospace industry. Both sides, Aircraft and Space. My last 20 years in the "Space" side of things. I've got a pretty good idea what makes up a good tool from...well...others. And yeah, we normally pay for good tools, or pay more than once for cheaper tools or the fasteners that the cheaper tools have ruined !

The MIP shop (all offices) is/are VERY clean. All mostly new, custom CNC lath, mill, combination machines, that get updated every 10 years. 12 axes machines, with robot arms, and "check" tools as part of the actual machine.
Allan driver tips are diamond wheel ground (not milled) within, .0005" of the finished required dimension. ALL of their tools will be the SAME (+/-.0005") of each other, no matter when you may buy them. The bit dimensions are a study of both the Machinery Design, hand book, AND "actual", high grade fasteners. The tip dimensions are made to fit "properly" into high grade (grade 3A / 3B threads) fasteners, rather than the looser grades, 1 or 2 hex sockets.

I checked a couple of screw fits with my new drivers after getting home. Yeah...nice fit ! I bought four drivers today.

Anyway, if you don't mind paying a little more for well designed and manufactured drivers, check these guys tools.

The pin that makes the old style magazine to rotate trapped the brand new new system magazine.

Please, any idea of how to solve this?

Selling a nice condition fx wildcat mk2 .25 cal sniper version. Has upgraded brand new huma reg, comes with 4 mags. Bipod mount, wika gauge, fx hard case, donnyfl moderator. Fill probe.

Asking 775 shipped. Ppff. Conus.

I bought a used Daystate Huntsman Revere and am slowly acquiring everything I need to get out and shoot. I need a solution for filling it. I have given up the idea of buying a compressor because I don't have the space to store it.

What I do have is a 68 cubic-inch carbon fiber paintball tank that is in excellent condition. I am the original owner and it has been well cared for. The problem is that it was manufactured 08/2006 and it has never been hydrotested. There is a shop that has filled it recently and it held air for 2 weeks without losing pressure. I expect to only get 4-5 fills with the Daystate and the shop is 45 minutes away.

I would like to buy a 98 cubic-foot tank and use it to fill my gun directly and even fill the paintball tank for field use. I'm having a hard time finding used tanks < 15 years old for a decent price and new tanks are $700. I see there are new 100 cubic-inch "buddy" tanks that are $300. So my question is, what would you do? Should I scrap the paintball tank? Keep it and buy a fill station? Should I buy a $300 buddy tank to keep initial costs low? Decisions. Decisions.

Welp, let's do an UpNorth AirGunner-style long(ish) write-up about my experience at PA Cup:

I drove out Thursday from Chicagoland (6hr drive) after being pathetically sick for the previous 2 days. This was a change of plans from leaving Wednesday night, but I wanted one more good sleep in my own bed to recover. This would end up being a lucky move, as I arrived to the FX USA house a day late. Norm Shanley and his wife Lisa had decided to get their own hotel, which left me with the master bedroom w/attached bathroom that was being held for them! Lucky me! ...And honestly lucky for the rest of the guys in the house, too, since it was probably good to have me a bit quarantined. I went to the range and sighted in, then came back and chilled with Chris Turek, Nikolai Boldov, Ernest Rowe, and Newman Buck. We feasted on rice pilaf that Николай Болдов made and then I went to bed early as I was still not feeling great.

Friday I shot my (2) qualifying bench cards. Relay 3, the one with high winds, as it was later in the day. I shot a 200 and a 202. Not great, but given the winds it did land me in finals. I then went and shot Springer Gunslinger with a $99 Walmart Gamo breakbarrel and el-cheapo scope, and only lost by 1 target! Everyone was laughing with me about using a fricken GAMO! Then I shot magfed PCP Gunslinger with my FX Airguns Panthera Hunter Compact .22. I had to face Nicolas Gregoris who is the fastest gunslinger on this side of the Mississippi. He beat me so fast I didn't even realize, finished all my targets, and still blurted out "DONE!" at the end..... ooof!

Saturday I woke up and got ready to shoot my single bench card for 100 yard benchrest finals. At the breakfast table I asked Nikolai if I should switch to the Jts Airguns pellets since I was running a bit low on FX Pellets, only having 20-40 pellets in each of 4 sorted tins - not enough to shoot a whole card with any one weight. My JTS tin was full of 100. Nikola told me "absolutely do not do that". This was advise I should have taken. During the sight in, I tried (5) JTS pellets and shot an MOA group, so it was out the window with Nikolai's advice and I thought the JTS were going to be the ticket. What I did not realize was that I was now leading up my barrel with (2) different lead formulas/consistencies and that made for uncontrollable results, with two heart-breakers out in the white... Never will I not listen to Nikolai again, but you live and you learn. Last place in finals was the result, but still, 33rd place out of 150 shooters ain't so bad!

Then it was on to Field Target, with the first half (15 lanes, 4 targets each) taking place on Saturday after bench finals. I got squadded up with Cecil of Hatsan and legendary shooter John Bagakis. I couldn't have asked for better squadmates. It was my first Field Target rodeo and they helped me out quite a bit. I shot poorly, a 32/60. What? I know I can do better than that! At the end of the day I found my issue. I had been fully loading my mags with the super thin-skirted 13.43gr JSB pellets and it was dinging up the skirts as the full strength of the mag spring cycled. This caused me to miss a lot of the further targets. I stopped this for day 2, only loading 4-8 pellets at a time rather than 18, and I shot a 46/60, which was only 4 impacts under Mr. Bagakis. Not too shabby, and I proved that the Panthera Hunter Compact .22 can be tuned for sub-20 AND perform well in Field Target. The gun was a laser, the missed targets only being attributable to the shooter.

Overall this was a great event and a nice capstone to my rookie year in professional airgunning. My message remains the same as it always has to anyone reading this - just get out there and compete if that is what you want to do. My whole "jump in the deep end" here was prompted by a long stay in a hospital bed last year where I thought "Man, if I ever get out of this bed I am going to every competition possible with zero excuses". You never know when you could lose it all, so get out there and make your dreams happen, guys. A year ago I was little known, with no sponsors, no airgun victories, and I had no idea how fun this is! Now I am ranked #1 in the nation currently for Airgun NRL22, I made finals 2 of 3 times in pro benchrest in my rookie year, took 20th of 100 in PRS at RMAC, 8th in PRS at NAC, I'm on the best pro team ever, I've got tons of support, I've made tons of friends, and this is only the beginning. Get out there and get it, guys. If I can do it, so can you!

Took 2 13 lined ground squirrels yesterday afternoon with my taipan veteran 22. It hasn't been shot in about 2 months. No checking zero, no dry fire, first shot dead on 60 yards
Second shot 65 yards

Put it back on the shelf till next time..
