Am I doing this correctly ? I don't want to hurt myself.
I have the Yong Heng going to the moisture filler, into the SCBA tank.
Am I using the correct parts and will this work ? I already know it will take an hour or so and to fill it in 10 minute intervals.
Thanks, Mike

My RAW HM1000x is tuned for accuracy at 70fpe for 44.75 pellets.

I tested some slugs and the velocity was understandably low, maybe too low for a valid test of slugs.

If I use the external hammer spring adjustment, can I generate more power? Don’t care about wasting air for this test. Any idea of how many turns is reasonable would be helpful.

Also if I mark the adjuster location and put it back where it was, will I get back to my original tune?

Thanks,

David

Ok got a new 1322 with 14.5 barrel, steel breech and RP valve. With cosman HP getting around 570fps at 20 pumps. Does this seem right? Seems I was getting more with stock valve and plastic breech.

Used MTC Optisan Mamba 3-12X44 IRS Side Focus scope for sale. SCB reticle, illuminated. Reticle illumination works perfectly. In very good condition. Everything works as it should. 30mm tube is immaculate, with absolutely no marks or dents. Super clear lenses. Medium 30mm UTG mounts that came with it are included. Has no covers, box or papers, came to me on a rifle I recently purchased and does not work for my use (H-FT). Ideal for Pistol-FT. Will let go for $200 shipped via USPS-Priority/Insured. Payment via PP-F&F. Will be shipped in secure box with padding to inssure safe arrival (hopefully!). On the old Yellow a bunch of times, a few here, all positives except for one nucklehead (Gamyrick). Feel free to contact for more info or tel. cal. Thanks for watching.

I’m the market for a compact scope for my dreamline. Don’t want to spend a ton. I’ve owned the discovery version of this scope, and liked it, but at low power the reticle was very thin. I’ve heard the same about these 2 also. With IR I figure I can use that at low power to help the reticle pop.
That being said, which one would you buy?
The veyron has been tested and proven by many, but the westhunter looks to have a better warranty. It looks to be very similar otherwise.

Ive had my fun with it so moving on to something else. Comes with magazine and factory fill fitting.$1250 shipped. Not interested in trades. Thanks

I recently spoke with a neighbor about his pecan harvest this year; the trees look like they will bear pretty good and I want some pecans. I was told they will if the squirrels don’t eat them all. Well you all know how this goes.

I made my way to the property a little late around 8:30am and as I start heading towards a couple of pecan trees I happen to flush squirrels from a larger tree that I wasn’t aware of.



They saw me (I moved pretty silently) and started taking off into the woods through the trees.. No distress calls, just high-tailed acrobatics. There were at least four that I saw. First I tried to catch them after jumping to take a shot, but there were too many branches in the way. I noticed that once they hit the woods they sat still in the tree tops. When I realized what they were doing I slipped into the woods behind them via a sandy cattle trail. Once I got in there I took one step too many then *CRUNNNCH!!* I stepped on a big dry leaf just before taking a knee to better line-up my sights on one and they were off to the races! This time I was on them, trotting through the woods dodging saplings, vines, and fallen branches. This seems to be the only time of year I can get away with running after them. It sounds careless, but I have loosely developed a strategy here. So I’m tracking this guy and when he paused I shot, *PING* and a miss!! He paused, I rack another pellet, and he takes off again. But this time Captain Obvious makes a fatal mistake. He decides to start barking. Great for me because I was having a helluva time tracking him running and jumping from tree to tree. And if you’ve read my squirrel hunting threads before then you know that sentries catch lead. I stayed on him.

Finally he jumped the bough from one young oak to another. I let off another shot (offhand) when I caught him on a horizontal branch running and led with my reticle. *PING* annnnnd *SHMACK* I connected just after he’d jumped branches, but I hit him in the hind leg (upon cleaning the carcass that pellet shattered his knee and it was floppy, but I didn’t see a pass through hole. I don’t know where it is. It may be in the meat still). He was trying to climb into a crotch, but his inability to climb fast allowed me just enough time to brace against a tree trunk and send a follow up shot. I steadied myself and lined up my reticle for the ear and *THAWCK!!!* I delivered the headshot. It was lights out from there. He did the hang-on-by-a-toe thing, let go after several seconds of swinging, and tumbled through the branches to the forest floor. I tied him up here to see if I could go back and get more from the pecan tree area then the livestock started to come in, but first in comes Princess and her parents.


Princess is last year’s colt and she had other ideas. I was kneeling in the dirt not far off the trail coming out of the woods southwest of the pecan tree. And she had other ideas about how this was going to go. As long as I remained still while kneeling she would look at me and eventually approach to sniff me. Then she started to tug at my shirt sleeve with her lips. I guess the Real Tree camo pattern I wore looked real enough to a horse to try to eat. When I didn’t react, I saw her lift her head and show her teeth. Next I saw some teeth coming towards my arm so moved my left hand off the forestock, over the breech, and wiggled my fingers on her nose. So Princess thought she might try these plump wiggling branches and tried to put them in her mouth. Now mom and dad saw this and thought Princess was being fed. Horse being horses, they didn’t want to miss out. By this time I went motionless again. And with her parent’s investigating things they soon realized there was no food and began picking grass around me. Princess kinda left me alone for a few minutes preoccupied with mom and dad’s picking.

After 4-7 minutes pass I finally saw a squirrel emerging from an adjacent cedar tree. I raised my rifle to track it with my scope and here comes Princess from behind. This time she’s sniffing my head and breathing down my neck! I tried to maintain my composure, but then she starts trying to bite my hat. I couldn’t contain my laughter. She just about took it off my head. I wasn’t trying to photograph this but I didn’t think many folks unfamiliar with livestock would believe this. Needless to say the squirrel saw the cows hesitating to come out of the woods on their trail because I was partially blocking it and I strongly suspect that the squirrel saw some of my movement and laughter. Being an intelligent rodent it ducked back into the vines between the cedar tree and an adjacent oak. I lost that one.


I did manage to grab the one but I was enjoying Princess’s curiosity and it kind of changed the mood and feel around the pecan trees. I’ve observed that squirrels take cues from livestock, deer, crows and other animals. They aren’t dumb and they knew I was still there. Also the young bull pictured I’ve known his entire life. He inches his way down the trail, but some of the heifers hesitated. Some of the older cattle remember me from past seasons, but this year I tied up Captain Obvious amd hung him right on a tree along side their trail and many sniffed and prodded his carcass with their noses. I hope that they have a better understanding of what I’m doing when they see me dressed and smelling like this (I smell like mosquito repellant).

I ended up just walking the property then hit the woods on an adjacent property to get a feel for how things look this part of the season. While walking in I came across a family of deer. They wheezed and ran. As I entered an old oak stand and braced between two trees to post and observe, the family of deer returned to the treeline. One of the young does (I think it was a doe. It looked anterless) probably didn’t know what I was and she stood there wheezing, turning back and forth, and stomping her front hooves on the ground for close to 10 minutes. She was an estimated 60-100 yards off. I was just observing her. I don’t think she realized I was a bonafide threat until I made more exaggerated movements. Lucky for them I’m not an archer and it isn’t deer season for me yet.

Was anyone else watching the Pro-Elite on eBay?
It was a good looking gun but it went for 1136.11 plus shipping!

I have been watching the steady incline of the prices but this still surprised me. Has anyone had first hand experience with the "Tapered tubes" these were reported to suffer from?
Anecdotally, I have had 4 of them apart, 2 of which were said to suffer from the tapered tubes. In both cases the seal was welded to the face of the compression tube by grease that had hardened over time. Once cleaned up, they showed no tolerance issues with a bore gauge and both were also more than acceptably round both internally and externally. I have a friend who has also had multiple examples that were reported to have tapered tubes, only to find other causes for the stated issues.

In any case the fear of a tapered tube does not seem to impact prices.

I own a Taipan Veteran Long in .22 with the following upgrades...1) power plenum 2) HUMA reg 3) stronger hammer spring. What is the max power that I can reasonably expect to see from this setup? My end goal is to fling 20.2 NSA slugs somewhere between 900-950 fps.(40-45 fpe) I'm just not sure if this gun is capable of it and I don't want to damage it trying. Any tips on shooting slugs with this setup are greatly appreciated.

Lousy day at work! So I made it simple and shot my 1701 and Prod 10 shot groups. Fun and simple.

I’ve got 500 break in pellets thru my new R7 and HW30 so it’s time to find the magic pill for each rifle.
1) I hear both clean bbl vs don’t clean bbl but I assume after 1000 shots it might be time to - advice please
2) When I change pellets (brands/weights) for accuracy testing, do I shoot 3 or 5 to season the bore before shooting for group?
Thanks

So, these now BARELY fit in my magazines for the .30 caliber AEA - I'm going to try a little deeper cut on the next batch, and going to pay a little more attention to maintaining a 90 degree cut - but, overall I'm happy with the clean and round cut, and the highly consistent change to the meplat here.

Did an entire tin of Polymags in less than 5 minutes, and without any of the typical highspeed polymer projectiles! (if you've ever trimmed these with a set of snippers, you know! Felt like I was going to lose an eye)

Thoughts? Is it better to just mod the ammo a bit, or do you think messing around with machining the magazines is the way to go? (Assuming you REALLY want to use Polymags..)

Well

Say hello to my little friend. This thing is amazing. Kalibrgun cricket 2 tac 45 in 22 cal

I was so busy looking for the right slugs for this little beast that I had the better choice of ammunition right in front of me.

Still looking for the correct slug but man o man this thing sure breaks the rules.

FX 18.1 pellets flying at 933 fps yes 933 and for whatever reason this little CZ choked barrel doesn’t care flying them pellets hot and stabilizes them very good

Rifle is zeroed at 50 yards. And from 30 to 65 yards it’s still hitting a penny size target without scope adjustments.

The amazing thing is that the 18 grain seems to be the sweet spot. 25s or hybrids won’t shot better. Even the 18s shot or are more predictable on cross winds.

First target is a full mag of 16 at 50 yards ( stupid flyers )

Second is a Ram steel target at 100 yards ( fixed target ) Body shots were 3 ( next to it is a 22 slug pellet for comparison) and 10 shots in the head I was trying for the hole in the horns got 4 through the hole 🕳

Look at that shot string 59 shots!!!!



I got a bad video of some really good shots all the way to 150 yards maybe for later

Hi.

We know that a standard FX Impact regulator piston is made of delrin. It has a pretty poor coefficient of thermal expansion comparing to brass. Brass is a much better choice. It is more rigid and tough which is pretty important when we think about high reg pressures. FX offers a brass piston as a replacement of the delrin one but it has two major limitations:
- some people reported problems with setting high pressure - the piston is longer than a delrin one and there is not enough threads to accomodate that,
- the air passage hole is too big. Huma regs use the air flow restrictor in a form of a screw. Thanks to that reg does not get hit that hard when there is a big pressure difference between the air bottle and the plenum. The plenum is replenished more gradually with flow restriction. Delrin piston has that flow restriction but sometimes reg recovery takes too much time. My goal was to deliver faster recovery time than a delrin piston but slower than FX brass piston.

Because of the above limitations I came up with my own design and here it is.






The air passage holes are 0.3mm in diameter, where a human hair is up to 0.1mm in diameter. Drilling technique was pretty tricky to avoid drill breaking (the angle was the greatest challenge):


But the end effect is insane:


After the break in period there is virtually no reg creep.

There are two versions of the piston:
- 4x0.3mm air passage holes - faster reg recovery time. Should work very nice as a bottle reg piston replacement,
-2x0.3mm air passage holes - slower reg recovery time. Dedicated as a plenum reg piston replacement.

The dimensions of my pistons are exactly the same as a delrin one. There is no problem with achieving high reg pressures.

If you are interested in my brass piston - just shoot me a PM. You will get the following package:
- brass reg piston,
- two orings: NBR70 and NBR90. The latter one should be placed in the reg case. Harder oring eliminates extrusion,

- a 0.25mm wire to make sure the air passages are clean.

Thanks!

So we have a pretty big elusive groundhog here on our small farm, and he is a problem. If i can get the job done, has anyone smoked a groumdhog before?

Thinking about selling my MINT 2500 carbine. Has never been outside. I did some testing in my indoor range to see power levels and had plans to use this as a hog gun but I have lost interest in air guns lately and downsizing to my backyard guns for awhile.

Less than 100 pellets have been through this rifle.

Comes with 2 6 round revolving magazines, a custom Niel Clague moderator, and a threaded adapter for the barrel to be able to use 1/2-20 moderators.

Functions flawlessly and is very loud and powerful. I can't really shoot it much in my neighborhood. The Niel Clague does tame it down very good.

Has a westhunter 4-16x44 30mm scope on it as well, pairs nice with the rifle.

I can take more pics if interested, just kind of threw this up on here on a whim.

This Leshiy was purchased new and received in GA 11 months ago. I have added 4 items: Wika Gauge, additional filler probe, larger grip for storing a filler probe on board and a DonnyFl baffle. The only adjustment made was with the hammer spring to lower the fps down to the upper 800 range. Out of the box it was well over 900. Original digital gauge is working and included. Holds pressure, no leakage. The wrapping you see in one photo has been in place for protection.
It has seen very little use. $1,300 plus shipping. If interested we will determine a payment method. F&F preferred.
PS: I have several scopes not being used. Depending one which one you might like or need, it may be included with the Leshiy.

For those of you confused, review this forum here: https://www.airgunnation.com/thread...i-am-going-to-try-and-see-for-myself.1274634/

Alrighty…here goes. First impressions are very important. Packing was superb. It came in a complementary gun case with 2 mags, a vertical fore grip, a fill adapter, and a forend picatinny rail for bipods with the housing and screw included too. Stock is superb and very nice. Only issue was that the finish underneath the cheek riser was incomplete. In fact, it was a white piece of wood with no finish at all with some spillage around. Luckily, I have boiled linseed oil on hand and got a factory like finish on it. The sidelever is very firm and crisp. However, it needed some oil and compared to my Maverick…it is not as smooth and light. But, it definitely feels good.

I forgot to mention that the shroud is quite stiff. In fact, it is a lot more stiffer than my Maverick shroud (*cough cough FX). A rifle that costs $1000 less has a stiffer barrel which surprises me. You’d think that somewhere in there they’d squeeze in a better shroud stiffening system (yes I know they have the new stiffener system, but it should be standard and not an aftermarket purchase). Anyways, I may not even need to get a barrel band for it (for those of you interested in getting a custom barrel band, DM tdhouser1964). Chrony and accuracy will be next. Let’s see what $630 can get you. I plan on going turkey hunting with it…so I’ll let you know how that goes.
