Hello, I just wanted to show the suppressor I made with a can. Or should I say I made a “can” out of a can. Inside the actual can I used a 3d printer to make baffles that would fit inside the can snugly. Then, after filling the can with about 7 of them I created a part that would connect to the end of the barrel of my qb78. Then I glued and taped it together for the time being. I also have yet to come up with a solution for the end cap. This is a work and progress and my first attempt at anything like this but after testing it I can say it works. For the cosmetics,durability, and physics of it, I know it has a long way to go. Tinkercad is my best friend.

On my way to the Conservation Club to do some target practice with my Benjamin Discovery and Marauder .22, I went the back way.
I came upon a doe (and twins) crossing the road, a couple helping a turtle to not become a casualty. Lastly there was a large busted blonde wearing a green Izzo shirt on a jog. (Tom Izzo is the Michigan State Mens Basketball coach) Izzone
Life is good when you take the back way once in a while !!!

I spent 4 hours shooting at 10, 25 and 50 yards off my Allen stand, off-hand and a perlite filled bag.
Refilled the Discovery twice with my GX CS2 and the SynRod once.
I shot some PolyMag Shorts and JTS DeadCenter with the Disco from 10 and 25 yards.
The SynRod was used to shoot some JTS DeadCenters and AA Diabolo Fields from 25 yards.
Then spent some time shooting JSB Diabolo Jumbo Heavies taking it down to 1000 psi.
My goal was to follow each shot until impact and not jerking my head up to see the impact.
I can't say as I am ready to try Bench Rest or N50 but I am progressing...

up for sale or trade is my newly purchased tx200 in 177 caliber. . i put a few shots through it but i prefer pcps so it has to go. purchased from Cavedweller last week. scopes is included if the buyer wants it towards the trade or sale. looking to trade for pcp of equal value like a daystate,fx or a krait. im open to other offers.

I have a new HW 30,can you tell me what pellets shoot well out of the HW30....thx.

Ok I decided I am going to sell my panthera as it's a little to big for my kind of huntin. Absolutely like new.made the titanium moderator adapter....took it out prairie dog shooting and it shootings pellets and slugs equally well but the mags really don't like howler slugs which is the only slug I use and a few pellets hang up in mags. Heavy long slugs work flawless.

Bought the k&l stock adapter and fixed the thread in it while waiting for folding stock parts to come from FX....which is all included with sale. No scope but rings can go with. 4 mags

1600.00 obo you pay shipping

May trade for something awesome like small hunter type gun(krait 22)

I am interested in the 2.5-12 Heras. Is the reticle easy to see for aging eyes. As an example I don’t think the Midas is easy to see for me. But I am wanting to inquire about the Heras

For sale is a lightly used Artemis PP700S-A currently in .177 but also comes with a .22 barrel. The .22 barrel has been shot more that the .177. DonnyFL moderator adaptor. Home made pellet seater from a guitar jack. Seats the pellet the same depth every time. Folding stock. I was going to thread a finger adjustable bolt in the linkage but never got around to it. It wiggles, they all do. Dovetail to weaver adaptor. I was using a reddot on the adaptor. Attached a photo of test shooting in my basement. 12 yards with average chrono readings for 5 different pellets. Have the original box but stock will have to be removed for delivery. Holds air forever with no leaks. $200 shipped slightly negotiable.

After shooting hundreds of squirrels in my backyard over the years, this one wants to be friends. I actually shot this female a couple of months ago and she limped off. She has a bad leg now and I decided to give her a break.funny thing is the other squirrels watch me feed her pecans and dont run off like they used to.

*FUNDS PENDING*

Built this over the last couple months and finally finished it up. Now that I have the notos and my Ultra SE, I don't really see a use for it.

Multi shot breech, uses 10 shot Mrod or gauntlet mags. Has a 12" Prod barrel, shrouded with 5 baffles. Pretty quiet.

Mrod trigger, a metal trigger guard, refinish stock with Tru Oil.

Doesn't have a fill gauge, but I use my outlet regulator on my bottle to fill to 2200 psi. Gives me 50 shots at 625 fps with crosman premiers. Perfect for plinking and light pesting duty. Great for the grandkids too! It's very lightweight, under 6lbs, and only 34" long.

Comes with 2 mags and the sniper 4x32 AO scope that's on it.

I have more money into this build than I'd like to say, and my time as well. The breech and barrel were $150 alone.

More pics on request, just putting the feelers out on this one.

Hello,
My 8yr old son wants an air rifle to shoot with dad. I want a pcp since I have tanks and a compressor to fill it. Probably a 177 and a magazine with a good shot count. He will just be plinking and shooting targets. I don't want a huge gun for him and probably something with adjustable stock to grow with him. Price range up to 400. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jon

Since I got my Ultra, which was my original "want" gun, im contemplating selling its big brother.

This one is a FAC model now, since I pulled the valve restrictor. Does 32-55 fpe depending on spring setting and pellet weight. Accurate as hell, just too much for my shooting range. Too long for my liking with the moderator on it, but need one here at the house.

Really is a great gun and in I'd say 95% like new condition. A couple small blems on the stock, no nicks or gouges, just some pressure marks. Bluing is still very good.

Will come with one mag and a fill probe.

Let me know if interested. Scope and moderator not included.

Hi, I only have one pcp a Brocock contour s6 that had a massive ail leak and sat in the closet for the past 6years because I didn’t think I could fix it myself but thanks to this forum and a 004 O ring is up and running again.
I now have the itch for another pcp and thought I would like to buy a made in USA rifle and found this on eBay (Link below)
if it stays at this price would this rifle be a good deal?

Thank you

Ok, their slogan of "ridiculous good optics" is spot on for their price point.

I grabbed a 6-18x44 neos a couple weeks ago to replace my westhunter 4-16x44 since the fine reticle is getting lost in low light and aging eyes. The glass is CLEAR all the way to 18x zoom, and they scream of quality. So I bought another.

This time, it's a 4-12x40 for my new to me BSA ultra. It's just as good as it's bigger brother. I compared it side by side with my 3-9x32 bugbuster on the notos, and the BB just seems like dated cheap glass. I'm thoroughly impressed to say the least and can only imagine how good their top their stuff is. I simply don't have the funds for that good of an optic for an airgun that won't push past 75 yards, so I went with lighter/no frills. I don't need an illuminated reticle, especially with the center X reticle the neos has.

I plan to move the 4-12 neos to my notos after I drop another $180+/- on a 4-16x40 talos to put on the ultra.

Athlon optics FTW in my book, and you can trust me... im an airgun doctor

One picture is worth $8,000 which is what this darn thing has cost..conservatively.
Maverick VP 600mm barrel, JSB Match Diabolo Exact King MKII Heavy .25 Cal, 33.95 Gr, 890fps, 120 yards. #2 reg 124bar, Transfer port on P, Huma Slug probe, #7 on the dial, Trigger Cam on gun but some fool forgot to turn it on so ... video is after the fact. If you look at the one of it on its side, on the top of the shoulder at the base of the neck. I watched for this little sucker for an hour and it finally popped up a few times. And of course a pic of the mighty hunter with his trophy. One shot of the distance of this, my friend Pete is over to the right of the entrance, at the end of the gray log. It was actually poking up above the log, It sort of sounded like I hit it but it just fell over, like you see in the first pic

I'm running an Air Venturi .25 . I'm shooting jsb hades 26.54 gr pellets in-between 870fps -850fps.
So I've shot this with the Tanto and now the Fatboy. It's shooting tighter groups (out to 60yds) no point of impact shift when changing from one to the other.
Here is the issue bought the fatboy extension got it on today and wow really quiets the gun down..... But at 20 yds I have a 2 in drop, tight group, but 2 inches is alot I'm assuming the weight is causing the shroud to droop.
Is there a fix ie another barrel band ? Or just leave the extension off?

Friends, I have an air arms pro sport in 177 cal. She has been an amazing and accurate shooter and only to get better by the work from nitro crusher. I have installed a while back a Rowan adjustable trigger. And I had no trouble with it in regards to adjustment and/or the PS's accuracy.

But a few days ago I felt the shoe move a little bit in the different direction so I took the trigger guard off readjusted it tightened it back up reinstalled the trigger guard and went back to shooting the same way I always do and that's off bucket and sticks.

Upon my first couple shots they were all over the place at 25 yards where it's usually grouping moa. So what little bit of hair I have left I was pulling it out wondering what happened. So I made sure my stock screws are tight my scope rings were tight. I haven't dropped my rifle, I haven't bumped the scope, nothing.

So while adjusting the trigger shoe to where I felt comfortable I tightened it back up again and it started grouping just a little bit better. Then I was wondering is it because the position of the trigger shoe while shooting. Meaning every time I made an minute adjustment to the shoe itself in very small increments my groups opened up dramatically. When I say dramatically I am saying like an inch to a inch and a half and not even close to my point of impact.

So my question is will the adjustment of turning the trigger shoe from left to right in minute small increments will it affect my actually that greatly? And if that is so, why? And again if that is so what is there to be done about it? Because my last two groups that I shot today it seemed like it had to settle in for some odd reason and maybe that's the case. But it seems like it changed how light I have to hold it now the whole rifle while it's in the sticks. It seemed like it also changed the pressure of my cheek weld. I'm really at a loss to the point where I wanted to beat her against the tree but I felt better of it wiped her down and put her away. Any and no help will be greatly appreciated.

Thinking fox - can’t be a coyote could it?

I got a real education about returning items purchased on Ebay, as I was shopping for a stock for my Crosman 1322.

My first choice was the AR package from Buck Rail. But their key component - the AR lower was OOS. So I purchased a "special" aluminium stock from a firm in Germany for $54.

Then I discovered a cheaper plastic stock domestically. Buyer's regret set in and I decided to order the plastic one and then send back the aluminium one.

The German stock arrived on Wednesday. It weighed as much as the pistol. I informed Ebay of my desire to return the part. Permission was instantly granted and a return number and address were provided. I was instructed to obtain my own shipping label.

Yesterday I shopped for a shipper. My first choice was UPS. Their cheapest shipping rate for 1.4 lbs to Germany was $305. USPS's was hard to determine but it seemed to start at $50 for International 1st class.

Lesson learned.

P.S.

When I attempted to return a SIG P-226 air pistol I discovered that the do not accept refund returns, only warranty returns. I ended up repairing the broken one myself.

played cat & mouse with this guy the past 2 days. Missed him yesterday at 125 yds, this afternoon i seen him from my porch and tried to get closer, not sure what spooked him but when i got to where i wanted to be he was gone. Go back to my porch swing and half hour later there he is, make another attempt and a car comes by and spooks him, go back to my perch and he reappears, this time he sees me and runs, i stay there for 30 minutes and nothing, i finally give in and retreat only to get back to my lookout and there he is. This time i take a different approach and make it to the tree i want to shoot from, he is quartering away hard so i take aim at the back of his ribs and send it. Entered just in front of left hind leg, he rolls down the hill and by the time i reached him he was taking his last so i gave him a final between the eyes. 77 yd shot, FX Wildcat mkl .25 cal shooting FX 33.95 ammo. Thanks for looking.

Unable to get to the range today, I setup my rifle, rests, remote trigger and Triggercam in my kitchen looking out the window. Watching my reticle for movement at 32X dry firing with the remote trigger showed only the slightest movement, a fraction of the center dot reticle which I believe is .1 mil, so a fraction of .1 mil. If I held onto the bottle I saw absolutely no movement, so perhaps another set of rubber bands for the front rest.

I’m going to be shooting roughly 19 different pellets and slugs at fifty yards measuring velocity at the current regulator setting (145 BAR as measured by a HUMA regulator testing gauge) and noting precision. Once I find a few that are showing reasonable precision I will then do another test at various hammer spring settings. As the group of pellets gets smaller I will test those at various regulator settings tweaking the hammer spring tension to see if I can improve the precision.

Slugs after the baseline test will most likely have to be tested at various regulator and hammer spring settings, so I’ll be spending a great deal of time at the range looking for the elusive tune for a select group of projectiles.

I may end up with different hammer weights or springs and likely try the adjustable HUMA regulator. Some have said the RAW regulator holds or is more consistent than the HUMA, but because the HUMA is a bit smaller it offers a bit more plenum volume. I’m not sure it is enough to be significant, but I also will test the latest HUMA regulator to see if indeed the RAW regulator is more stable.

The good thing there is so much testing ahead of me is it allows me to hold off with another air rifle purchase for the time being. However, looking is not expensive.
