TX200 MKIII at 50-Yards with AA 8.4 Diabolo

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.

Fill multiple guns without dumping the air from your large water trap/filter each time

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.

6000 PSI needle valve for $15 on Amazon

Intall this just before the shutoff valve as shown in the diagram.

Several other options out there but this was the least expensive I found and it was rated at 6000 psi. It has been working well for many months. Something with a lever handle would be easier to turn off.

One way foster fittings are about $8.
Just add the appropriate quick connector to install where shown on the diagram. I ended up with a male to male to match my hoses.

The small Tuxing silver water trap with a bleed valve is $26.xx with a whip on Aliexpress. $39 without a whip on Amazon. Installed at the very and of the line as shown on the diagram. The bleed valve on mine FAILED and was fired into my hand with significant force. Be sure to replace it for your own safety, or use something else for a bleed valve.

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.

AEA Challenger pro problem

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.

What cam to analyze the tune?

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?

5 weeks in

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.

Where have all the classic springers and CO2 rifles gone?

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?

Out of the box left handed guns

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

I squeezed this one in

Just before the months end!

PCP Rifle  SOLD Updated price .22 Prophet Performance 1 LR barrel

Up for grabs is original Prophet Performance 1 .22 with the long range barrel. It shoots the .22 JSB monster redesigns light out at 970s. This thing has been just begging to be shot, but just been busy with other projects. It has been the most reliable gun that I have owned yet and incredibly robust. The gun comes with an externally adjustable flex regulator. The reg is not pretty but all the gauges work great. The deal from the guy that didn’t know what he was doing was just too good to pass up on the reg. This thing is a hunter and darn good at it. Shooting prairie dogs from 10 yards to 175 yards with pellets!

The camo vinyl stickers can easily be taken off without damaging the gun or bottle.

The gun will come with 1 original mag, 2 orion mags, jb3d butt hook with mono pod, short ODb moderator(not in picture) and barrel band. SCOPE NOT INCLUDED.

I’m asking $ 1500 $900 obo you pay shipping.

First picture group is at 100 yards with two little flyers.
2nd picture is top group 75 yard and bottom group 50 yards.

Brain teaser for any math wizards

What does x represent, what am I solving for? Should be fairly simple.

x = ChamberVolume*(ChamberPressure/(PlenumPressure-PlenumPressure*PlenumPressureDropPercent/100))


x = ChamberVolume*(ChamberPressure/(PlenumPressure-PlenumPressure*PlenumPressureDrop))

Bonus points if you can tell me where this equation may apply in an airgun.

Blocking members ADMIN

Recently I became aware of the block or ignore button. I have read a few posts about the issues that come with that. My question is this...
I blocked a member who (To me) was annoying and commented his/her opinion on EVERYTHING throughout a thread. In my privacy not through a beef I blocked him/her but since him/her comments on EVERYTHING many threads (i guess) don't appear.

Admin question: how do I UN ignore/ block this member so I can see threads? I can scroll past just seemed convenient..

Aluminum under pressure

IMy wife and I was setting in the kitchen when a diet soda exploded in the cabinet, it was very loud, The can was bent all out of shape like I shoot it with a hollow point .
Now I have had a Carbon Fiber 4500 psi tank fail on me and the Carbon bands just let go with tiny little leaks.
Leads me to think the metal tanks when they fail the metal fails, On the Carbon fiber tanks the carbon bands fail and just let go very slow,
Mike
