Usually use hades and always hear a smack. Tried FX 18.1 @ 750fps, this only at 16yards..

Shooting from my window 15 feet up. Then I shot him AGAIN in the head/neck area at about 10 yards and he still managed to limp off

Super frustrated

This is a bit of a vent, so please excuse the emotion. But do most folks here generally get as irrationally upset as I when you accidently put a scuff, scratch, dent, or ding into your beloved air gun through normal course of use? Its innocent enough, but man it gets my goat when I notice a new bit of "character" that I've bestowed onto one of my guns.

This stems most recently from my toying around with the front sight on my Diana 48. I slid down the sight to the bottom of the ramp as the rifle was shooting high. Once moved back to the original position I noticed a lovely little set screw ring that I marred into the ramp. On the new rifles this ramp is plastic and doesn't show as visibly, but I have the older pot metal ramp and that mark shines up like the North Star every time I look at it.





These are garden party problems to be sure. But I'm curious if the masses feel the same when an oopsie occurs? Or maybe the more seasoned can enlighten us with a little Zen and teach us how to grant ourselves the serenity to accept the things we cannot control.

It's not news to any of us that we live in a world where we're constantly being advertised to. Free-market capitalism dictates that companies try to get us to spend our money on what they're selling. Simple as that.

In the past, "ads" were very obviously advertisements. There were formats where commercials were just the given, the expected even. A 30 second "spot" during a "commercial break." The website of a manufacturer or retailer. The radio. A magazine. Even blatant product placement in movies where the camera lingers just a bit longer than necessary on that can of Coca Cola or Chevrolet emblem. All of those are examples of where it is just the norm to see, and even expect, advertisements.

BUT, in the last decade or so, we've seen the rise of "influencers." And our little airgun hobby has not been spared from this effect. These are individuals paid (in one way or another) to promote products. They flood YouTube and Instagram and TikTok and even industry-specific forums like Airgun Nation. They post "content," sharing information about the products that have been placed in their hands by....those companies that decades ago would have marketed their products in all the usual places. These seemingly real-world users are the ultimate "product placements." Payment for this promotion of products takes on myriad forms. Some are literally on the payroll, drawing regular pay checks. Others are paid by how many "views" the "content" garners or how many sales can be traced back to their influence. Some are given the products that they promote. Some are paid in transportation fees. Rarely do we see disclosures of how the influencer is being compensated. And, the worst is when the influencer plays the part of the average joe, leaving those susceptible to believe they're just enjoying freely given information.

As a collective groups of airgun-addicted individuals, do we care to know the back-story behind the information being "shared" with us? If what we're reading is an advertisement to influence our decision-making (read wallets) should we be informed? Should we be made aware if someone is receiving compensation (of any form) for what they're sharing?

A full disclosure bolsters the validity of what is being shared, in a "I've got nothing to hide" fashion. Furthermore, disclosure can help the reader to know that what they're reading is coming from someone with direct ties to the manufacturer, which in many cases gives the reader confidence that what they're consuming is factual information.

Finally, disclosure of a potential conflict of interest does not make it an actual conflict, but it definitely helps eliminate the perception of malfeasance.

Mine was fairly recent, a Leshiy Classic with nice optics. Had a good deal but passed on it. Luckily, found another.

I've had an Impact M3 that has been working without issue for the past 6 months. But today something went wrong. I bled the system of air as I normally do whenever I want to decrease the reg pressure: unscrew the bottle, then slightly turn the 2nd reg adjuster counter clockwise until the air begins to empty. When the system was empty, I turned the 2nd reg screw clockwise to lower the pressure.

But then, when I screwed the bottle on, as soon as the seal engaged and the gun filled with air the bottle instantly became too tight to screw/unscrew. If I put on a pair of really grippy work gloves, use two hands, and twist as hard as i can, then I can get it to turn in either direction, but I don't want to do anything until I know what might be going on. I'm guessing something happened with an o-ring in the bottle valve or regulator, allowing some air to pass through, so I'm fighting a lot of pressure to screw/unscrew

Any ideas what could be causing this? And what to do from here?

Thanks guys.

I am selling my Pulsar Digisight N550 Digital Night Vision Rifle Scope. It is it really good shape and everything works as it should. Asking $500.00. Trades are welcomed.

Vulcan 3 .25 500mm
Daystate classic .22 LH
Nothing wrong with either gun and absolutely love both and if no trade happens that's fine. No reason for me to post value of each im only looking for trade. Don't know what gun im wanting to try next so this is best way to solve that problem. No scope included

I have a Brand New DFL,FX 25-30 suppressor 100 shipped

New to the PCP world. What brand of fill hoses and fitting brands does everyone recommend TIA

I've seen lots of posts about super far pcp kills. Not much about springer max distance kills targets are one thing but I'm wondering how far a springer can carry a well placed pellet and still kill*I'm talking small game,not boars and deer* so far my max is about 30 yards on a dove with my rugerfor now!
So im starting this thread! Hahaha Let 'er rip!

Sorry to say, the Lil Foot does not have magic powers. I really thought it did. He made it about 4 months, which is 1 month longer than the NOMAD 2.



That's why I have a backup compressor (NIB Yong Heng) ...that should get me through the next 60 days hopefully.

Was I supposed to lube something? There was no oil port. The lil foot started blowing the 35 amp fuse one after another when it hit about 200 bar. Then I put a 40 amp fuse in it today and it kept running but about 1 minute in it started makeing terrible noises from the engine: like it was breaking apart inside. I'm pretty sure it's done.

Gotta go unpack the Yong Heng so I can finish this video. -Nate @ Airgun Channel

A bit of background: I work in import and private labeling. A lot of the compressors on the market look to be rebranded units from other makers from around the world.Most of them are mass produced but the parts can be upgraded at the factory they are made in.

Right now, I have one of my overseas contacts trying to source a high end compressor that will also fill the large tanks. While I don't expect to hear much until after the Chinese New Year, I think the same principles can be applied to these compressors as what I have custom made. We are talking upgraded parts and durability testing instead of some off the wall already made design with budget components.

So my question for all of you: If you got to choose every detail of a compressor, what would the things you would want to see in it? Think about the parts that normally break pr wear out quickly as this custom manufacturing can address those.

Once I have a list I will get one produced and run it through the ringer and see how it holds up against the named good compressors. Thoughts?

At the conclusion of two separate Pro X shoots, 100 pellets or so, just for fun, I did a quick test comparison with my Taipan Veteran. What was the same...conditions, 18 gr JSB pellets, what was different, Styer 820fps, 16X scope, shot off bages, trigger untouched from factory. Veteran 870fps 40X scope, shot off my knee...no bench...and a perfect trigger...IMHO...and the knowledge of what the Vet can do after three years familiarization. The target board bottom left is the Veteran 5 shot also the single group shot on a different day, 5 shots also...the rest are Pro X groups 5 or 10 shots except top right the 3 shot bad group was CP domes 14.3's. Biggest factor was trigger next scope and magnification. The Pro X trigger must be addressed to challenge the Veteran, the Pro X has it's moments but needs more consistency...two nice airguns...feel blessed to own them!

I have a good condition HW35e .177 for trade. Stock was in rough shape so I sanded and applied Truoil 7 coats to the raw wood. Finish turned out really nice. A few areas that aren’t perfect, but I like it. I installed the Tinbum MAXI tuning kit and she shoots really smooth and nice. Shooting 7.4 gr Crosman pellets around 750fps. Lubed with JM Moly Paste. It is missing the sling studs, safety button and front site inserts.I can also text you more pictures if needed. I’d like to trade for pcp in .177.

My .25 caliber Impact has been pretty consistent, reliable and accurate. My latest tune has had me at 877 fps average with ES from 4 to 7 and SD from 1.7 to 2.1 and grouping MOA or better at 30, 50 and (usually) 65 yards. I've been pretty happy with it! But lately that's all gone to hell in a hand-basket with ES of 30 or more, SD close to 10 and shooting as though almost every shot is a flier. I might get one fairly good group, then have a whole magazine that's all over the place, like 1"~2" spreads. I've made no changes to the gun since it was shooting great and the weather has been relatively mild - no drastic temperature changes, etc. I cleaned the barrel and got the same lousy results. I'm thinking about stripping it down to bare stock components and stock settings and starting completely over. Any suggestions are welcome.
Here's what I've got right now:
FX Impact M3 w/Power Block (not labelled as such but it's a 216 serial number)
600mm with stock STX Superior liner - all stock - with carbon fiber sleeve
Donny FL stock FX suppressor that came with the gun
FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner
Saber Tactical TRS Compact Top Rail Support
No internal modifications, no reg creep, nothing very fancy in the whole setup

Just got a tank and have been calling around to see about getting it filled. My plan was to find a firehouse that fills them and show up with 8lbs of shredded bbq for them all to eat.

Plan shot down as they told me they won't fill the tanks locally. At least I have dive shops locally. I don't see what the issue is when our taxes paid for the equipment they use and the tank is certified and in date.

Anyone else have trouble with their local Fire departments too?

Got more scopes than rifles, Like new condition. Comes with everything in the pictures, $275 shipped Pay Pal F&F or buyer pays fee.

Well less then 200 pellets in the TX200 ate my Hawke 4-12×40 AirMax lol.

Take a shot and the scope goes fuzzy, point the rifle upward and it comes back to focus, the parallax is shot.

I find the TX waaay too hot for it's power level, probably gonna trade for a HW97.
