I finally got to work on my NTM Hw77 Mk1 today. It was a little bit of bear getting the receiver apart. And a giant PITA getting it back together.

I did the usual clean out. I slugged the barrel and replaced the crumbly breech seal while it was completely apart.

I replaced the piston seal with a 25mm Vortek piece. Replaced the factory spring and guide with the newest Vortek delrin HO kit. This kit has alot more preload than I'm used to and I almost needed a spring compressor to get it back together. That was part of the PITA. The other part was getting the gun fully screwed together. This was the tightest one I've had yet.

This early 77 has no beartrap so that simplified things nicely.

The trigger group was all sorts of bent and crooked. I think someone tried using it for leverage to unscrew the receiver end. There was spots of rust and grease that looked like dryed varnish. Not impressed with the triggers condition I only did a quicky on it. I soaked it in degreaser, brushed out the hardened crud, rinsed it in hot water, dried it, lubed pivots with heavy oil and greased sears and contact points with moly. I adjusted the "forbidden screw" which was actually a red slotted screw like my R8. The degreaser ate the red paint off.

I put it all together and it shoots nicely. No twang. No felt recoil. No dieseling. The chronograph says 14.4 fpe but it feels like 10. Much better power than I expected from a 25mm Hw77. It's just a tick hotter than I tuned my 177 26mm Hw97 to.

I tried accuracy testing it but the new Sightron 3-9×32 rimfire didn't last 50 shots before the reticle rotated. I'll have to find another scope. Apparently I have time. We have evil weather coming for the next few days.

I'm looking for a better Rekord trigger group of anyone has one.

That's it for today.
Be well
Ron

**UPDATE**
Now this package includes the 480CC Carbon fiber bottle. Unfortunately, I don't have a degassing tool so I can't degas the tank CF tank so I'll just throw it in. However, I did utilize a spare o ring so there will be no more spare o rings. More than fair trade off.

600mm TJ (CrMoly steel) with a custom high flow 485 marine brass barrel inlet. This barrel is match grade. Had to buy 3-4 blanks before I hand selected this one for my personal collection. 14.02mm OD will work with the Impact, Maverick, Wildcat, Crown, etc.

Chambered / throated the lead in with a 2 deg live-piloted reamer that I had custom made by PTG for the TJ's .30 bore/groove. Shoots obscenely well with a variety of ammo. 1/2-20 thread on the muzzle, bore was lapped and polished over 3 separate sessions with a slight taper (a few ten thousandths of an inch). I'll include some high BC 62 grain Varmint Knockers with this one.

Terms: 399 + shipping CONUS. No lowballers. Price is as firm as the barrel.

Only saw short video on YouTube by a Czech guy had to subtitle in English- it struggled. But what impression I got was valving similar to Huben, but different, 2 safeties, auto load? Not sure what that was. Ballpark 60,000 CZD or about 2,500 U.S. Big number, if accurate, but you know quality is there. Hard value. I’m totally waiting for a detailed video for confirmation. But I’m amped for this one.

If money was no option (within reason - meaning not $10k) what are the best high end springer/nitro piston air guns? I’m not looking for an Olympic gun but rather a traditional or semi traditional rifle that would be good for a mix of target and hunting.

I purchased my first pcp which is a Ghost HP but I also want to have a really nice piston gun.

With these things in mind, what do you recommend?

This was a new one for me
Dropped in some AEA 50.5g pellets into an ultrasound cleaner for my normal process of cleaning/weighing/rolling and lubing the pellets
I examined the pellets before they went into the cleaner to see if there are any obvious defects
Used the same cleaning solution i have used in the past. I also tried a little Palmolive and water and got similar results
When i took out the pellets from the ultrasound, it looks like something corroded the surface ...the surface is very rough to the touch.
Not all the pellets reacted this way
Has anyone experienced this from cleaning a pellet?
Thanks
Mike

RAW - BOTTLE VALVE not holding air or not allowing the bottle to be filled?

Does the RAW bottle NOZZLE (INTERNAL VALVE) contain an O-ring that can be changed out?

I have switched the bottle to other guns and found the problem to be the bottle only.
External nozzle O-ring new, hence the problem is inside the nozzle.
There must be O-rings of some sort ..............

RAW sells a bottle neck for $35, but it only makes sense its leak can be fixed with an O-ring or something similar?

I have bought and sold a few FWB M65 pistols over the years. I used to rebuild them and shoot them till I wanted something else and then sell them. I have lost interest in them and haven’t had one in a while but have always kept a feel of the values by watching prices. During good times they fly off auction sites and don’t last on the classifieds. I won’t go into why but consumer sentiment is currently off and the 65s are stacked up like cordwood on EBay and are sitting in the classifieds. If nothing else they are more fun to look at than stock futures.

Hello Members,
I recently bought a pre owned Steyr LP 10. The issue I'm having is that when I try to shoot the gun with a palette inside, it does not shoot at all. There is only a muffled PUFFFT sound. If you have had this issue or know what possibly could make it fire again, please share your inputs.
Thank you very much.

While punching paper today I hear a mess of them behind the barn. Was able to get one but the rest popped smoke and didn’t come back

Hello, I have recently purchased an FX Panthera, but when I removed the Bottle all of the air escaped from the Rifle inlcuding the Plenum, is this normal behaviour or should the Plenum retain presure?
I have watched a number of Video's and all of them warn that although you have removed the Bottle the Plenum retain preasure.

Can I ask if all other Panthera's behave this way?

Thankyou

Richard

Hello everyone. I joined the board today. I hope you all are doing well. I’ve been enjoying PCPs for a while now.
My collection includes a Gen 1 Gauntlet in .22, a Notos, A DAR in .22, a Rainson Edge in .22 and .25, and an Avenger Bullpup gen 1 in .22. I’m thinking of upgrading to a .30 PCP eventually. I hope to learn a lot in this forum. I look forward to all the information you can provide me.
Thank you.

Any recommendations for a 20 caliber pcp. Who makes them and any experience with them. Thanks

HUBEN POWER Regulator brand new in the box have never been used. This was for a build I was going to do but end up doing something else you can check out the reviews on these things. They’re real good. Just have to give them time to break in like anything else $100 to your door.

Hello,

Would anybody happen to know the size / specs for the hammer spring on a Kral Puncher Breaker / Puncher Mega? Does anybody have one? Thank you

SOLD I purchased this new in January for $354 with tax added and using a coupon.
It has never been mounted or had rings on it.

I was going to put it on an Uragan 2 but it's almost as long as the Uragan with the supplied sunshade lol.
Side focus, FFP, 34mm tube, illuminated reticle.
Comes with everything you see in the pictures. Very nice factory lapped rings, manual, lens cleaner, sunshade.
Looking through the optics I can tell you the clarity is amazing for the price point and the whole scopes build quality is great.

I own several HD Discovery scopes and they all have very clear glass and great build quality but this ED version is a step up in the glass department.
Scope is 100% brand new in box
$315 Shipped PP plus fees or FF shipped to lower 48
Ships same or next day UPS with tracking and insurance.
Good seller rating.

Have seen a ton of videos on the new m4. I am just looking to shoot paper with pellets (at 100 yards), and am wondering what the ideal caliber / barrel combo is. @UpNorthAirGunner called 0.30 cal, "Gods caliber", and makes a compelling case! If I do go for 30 (or 25) cal, would it be better to pair that with a 700mm barrel, for maximum accuracy and consistency? Or would a standard 600mm or compact 500mm be equally good, if I plan on shooting pellets 95 percent of the time ?

Thank you !

Hello, As you may have seen from my previous posts I am STRUGGLING to get ANY kind of decent accuracy with slugs.

I keep seeing posts, and videos everyone talking about "line 4" on their return valve, the return valve on my gun has 6 lines, which I read in the manual models do come with either 4 or 6,,, there is a huge FPS difference between line 4 and line 6 with everything else being the same.

I was hoping to get some thoughts and opinions on what I should even try, today the best groups that I was able to shoot, I was shooting 43g NSA around 855-860 fps on "line 4"

When I say best groups, I'm still over 2 inches at 30 yards. If anyone would be willing to help, I would greatly appreciate it!
