which is quieter at the same muzzle velocity , .177 or .22?

what about with the same gun and same moderator but different cal pellet?

i’m suspecting .177 but would like to hear everyone’s opinions or personal experience on this. thanks everyone!

With the crap weather we have right now, I got bored and machined an insert to go in the receiver end of the carbon fiber barrel sleeve I've got on my Cricket rifle and using the thread adaptor I machined for the moderator I can tension the carbon fiber sleeve against the face of the receiver and add tension to the barrel. I tested it out on my range today and I can see a difference it made in the grouping of the Nielson 17.5 gr. slugs I'm shooting at 50 yards. I absolutely love this little rifle.....I've got a like new M3 Impact that shoots lights out but I enjoy shooting this Cricket more....

Here's a full mag (14) shots at a measured 50 yards.........

I was given a beat up 124 back around 1993 or so. The stock was broken at the pistol grip, the barrel had some pitting and missing blueing, but otherwise it was more or less intact. I repaired the stock and had a luthier friend spray a poly finish over it.
Once it was reassembled, I discovered that it shot way high and far left, to the point that the sights ran out of adjustment before getting the gun to zero.
One of my neighbors was a "gun guy", so he and I attempted to straighten the barrel. As I recall it, this involved a pair of V-blocks, a dial indicator and a very large dead-blow hammer.
These efforts met with some modest success, such that with a homemade elevator block under the front sight, and an aftermarket rear aperture sight cranked all the way over, it will shoot within a 1/2" of center at 10 yards, delivering nice little groups. But it ain't right, and I want it fixed.
Any advice or recommendations ?

Hi Gang,

Does anyone have any data (empirical is OK) that shows the velocity of a piston airgun at different altitudes?

I'm considering buying a break barrel rifle that shoots 14.3 gr at 750 fps at 500' altitude. I live at 6500'. Velocity wise, I'd like to know what to expect with the same pellet.

I ask this question because last year I bought a new (.22) HW30 that shot 425 fps in AZ, but 350 fps at 6500' with the same pellet.

Is it simply a linear relationship? Based on the gas laws, probably not. But I don't know.

Thanks!

(ADDENDUM: This is not about PCP's. I know PCPs are more consistent at altitude. I'm asking about break barrels.)

Hi, I was wondering if any BRAND NAME air rifle manuf. makes a old style pump air rifle , I have been looking and havent found any,or am I just looking in wrong places? I think if a company made one , they would have buyers.I know I am old school and OLD , but I bet there is quit a few that would like to back to OLD SCOOL if for nothing else ,nostalgia. And those did produce some velocity out of them and accuracy was very good.I used to shoot little army plastic men at about 30ft or so. Took out MANY platoons in my basement.I was a hero in my own mind.

Hi all.

I need a very pressing question answering, which I know my fellow airgunners will have an answer too.

The HW80/HW80k. A staple example of a springer!... But... has the performance changed at all over the years? Is it still the same internally as it was 20 years ago, or has it been dampened down at all. The new HW80k luxus looks cracking. But, I'm unsure whether to go for an earlier model as I want the magic that has given this gun somewhat of an external glory. That said, if the inner workings are the same across all generations, I shall go for the new versions as I do prefer the look.

Please help

It seems more humane than gigging them. Just wondering. Is it legal?

NO LONGER AVAILABLE- DECIDED TO KEEP- THANKS FOR LOOKING

Letting this one go. It’s been a good squirrel tool, and got moved over to be my gopher tool but I never see those critters doing damage so the gun just sits.

This PROD has been fitted inside with Hill parts, larger transfer ports, stout hammer springs and a aftermarket valve. Has the Hill moderator which works really well. It remained unregulated, and has been recently resealed. Added the stainless safety vs the factory plastic, grip wrap, aftermarket adjustable shoulder butt with locking, push button detents. Super lightweight. Good power. Here are some pics-


Comes with 3 mags, a mag pouch, extra hill parts, (2)new spare 0-3000 psi factory gages, (2) aftermarket composite hammer weights, extra Hill hammer springs, the factory innards like valve, transfer port, etc, and a whole lot of spare o rings to seal up the entire gun multiple times from oringsandmore.

The factory stock attachment I still have and it was never used and will ship with this gun. The scope and mounts I will keep. Looking for a fair price of $595, which will include the shipping fees. Will only ship to the CONUS, and payment is standard PP F&F or G&S with buyer paying the Fees.

I have met a lot of great people on this forum, along with at competitive matches. Ask any of them as I’ll give referrals, they’ll tell you I take pride in my equipment and take utmost care of my PCP’s. You can search my history, and you’ll see I’ve never done wrong to anyone

My EVO showed up today and I can’t wait to put some lead down range. Want to thank all of the members who put up with my questions and helped me out on this decision. Each and every response I received was greatly appreciated.

I just bought a Scandinavian Arms SA ADJT SB valve for my 2 liter tank.



It is an extremely well made valve, it operates perfectly, except for the fill gauge reads 20 bar high.

I have compared it to gauges that I know are correct.

I have emailed Scandinavian Arms twice and haven't heard back from them.
I have talked to the dealer I bought it from and their answer was this is an acceptable amount of error in a gauge.

I feel this is too much error, especially at the price they charge for the valve.
Maybe I'm being to critical?

What is your opinion

*****Lower Price!*****

Hey all,

Back a couple of years ago, I purchased a new FX Impact M3 30 cal Sniper with the 700mm barrel. It has sat in the case beside my desk and has never been outside or fired. I just don't have time and I'm getting ready to move.

I spared no expense in building the M3 I wanted. I'm not a rookie either, there isn't a mark on the M3 anywhere. Every single add-ons was torqued correctly, etc. In short, it's perfect. Never had any leaks of any kind and I filled the M3 to 240 bar and it hasn't moved in over a year. It's solid and sealed.

I purchased this right as they changed to the Power Block. The one I was sent doesn't have the Power Block. Doesn't even matter unless you plan on shooting extremely heavy slugs. The M3 will ship in the factory FX hard case that you see here and will be in the box that it was shipped in as well.


You have a few options to purchase.

1) I'll sell the factory stock m3, with all the add-ons removed, just like it came from the factory. $1500.00 plus 4% PayPal fee, Shipped in lower 48 states.

2) You can buy the M3 as is with all add-ons, minus scope. $2400.00 Shipped if in the lower 48 states. If you want insurance, that's extra.

3) You can purchase the M3, all add-ons, including the scope as you see in the picture. $3300.00Shipped if in the lower 48 states. If you want insurance, that's extra.


Here are the add-ons:

1. FX Impact M3 30 cal Sniper 700mm version - Copper color - I paid $2299.00
2. Vortex Viper PST Gen II Scope 5-25x50 - I paid $1100.00
3. Vortex Precision Matched Rings 30mm 1.45 inch - I paid $150.00
4. Vortex Front and Rear Scope Caps - I paid $40.00
5. Saber Tactical Adjustable Butt Stock - I paid $275.00
6. Saber Tactical Cheek Riser - I paid $65.00
7. Saber Tactical Impact Arca II Rail - I paid $160.00
8. Saber Tactical Bag Rider (Not shown, will be included) - I paid $65.00
9. Saber Tactical extended fill probe with magnetic cover - I paid $50.00
10. FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner 700mm with Carbon Fiber Sleeve - $170.00
11. FX Impact Side Shot Magazine - $70.00 (Extra Magazine, High Capacity)
12. FX Carbon Fiber Liner Sleeve (makes barrel more rigid) - $30.00

Total I paid with tax = $4910.00 for the above build.

Looking at;

Commander NV400. Big, built in battery ( not user replaceable)​

Zulus, only HD, not 4K, smaller
ATN X-sight 4K

Had a little time to get a scope on received today RAW hm1000x in 22. Arrived with about 1500 psi on rifle. Shot what I had been using on zelos last night JSB 15.89. In basement mind you but crack CRACK like an echo. Said to myself sounds as loud as a standard velocity 22. Tried 2 moderators. A little better but too loud for prying neighbors. I didn’t have much more time then and put chronograph on. Oooo 1110 fps.
Damn , looked at test that came with gun. Utah air used 25.39 at 950 fps. I had about 15 of those left in one of those 4 weights test pack.
Better still sorta loud but not that CRACK.

Luckily another order came while I was out, new to me AEAs in various weights

Standard length. Moderator adaptor installed so you can use any 1/2-20 threaded one you choose. Will ship CONUS only in soft case where legal $1550, not looking for any trades, payment by PayPal F&F with confidence, check my feedback.

Hello,
I’ve ordered a Zulus HD non LRF 3-12 for my Notos. Has anyone mounted one on their notos? I’m wondering if it will mount right up on the pic rail or will I need to get something to make it work? Thanks, Danny.

Got it mounted up with 10rd maples. Still working on the cheek riser.

Check out the renewed rtiarms.eu website. Let us know if you like it.

Any guesses as to what we might see?

At my place I cannot find any of these Eunjin or Seneca or eventually Samyang pellets. I had a tin for years but ran out recently with a .22 size.
Interestingly nobody came up with an idea to modify or fabricate some sort of crimping tool that would make these grooves on slugs?

Hey guys,I hope this info. might help. I got a message today and from what I gathered , this is the NEW WEBSITE to get a hold of MAC1 shop that has the STEROID KIT for the SHERIDAN. He is evidently healing up from accident and getting back to work.or has been up and running for a short while. I hope info. is correct.He said there was rumors he died and that is false. I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THIS THOUGH , so you will have to verify for yourself. I HOPE THIS IS NOT OLD NEWS. I am just getting into air guns .

Hi to all,

Who can highlight some reviwes of the Katran C (or CB) regarding power achieveable and the way to do it/tunning?
The regulator is easily accessible?

Thanks
PB

I just purchased a brass Rowan Setback Trigger for my TX200 Mk III. Before I dig into this, I read in the instructions that there may be some interference issues at the rear of the trigger guard with the new trigger. If you have installed one of these, what should I expect in that regard ? Does their Rowan trigger guard correct for that ? I didn't see any mention of that issue at time of ordering. Thanks.

Looking down the road for 30 cal pellet and 30 cal slug guns. Not a fan of FX, Daystate- electronic, skout- electronic, I know that’s a lot right there. But, for pellets, a non bullpup design appeals and pellets allows for using a shorter barrel to help with OAL. Since its purpose is pellets only, cost is there too. One that cropped up was macavity arms, but, is there any chance that model gun would be fairly close to tier 1 equipment? If it feels like a few others in its price range, no names,, then I’d have no interest. Most of my preferred options are in 2 grand range. For slugs, power, smooth, and relatively quiet is the game. Epic 2,RTI Mora, kalibrgun snipe 2,etc maybe I wait for Shot show or IWA.
