For you Daystate owners with electronically controlled triggers, please comment on their long term reliability. I'm considering either a Red Wolf or the mechanical version Wolverine. Also, those with .177 cal rifles, how many shots per fill do you get? Some have said 400 which I find a little hard to believe.
Thanks

When sighting in from your shooting position internal to your home, Don't forget to open the window.
Point blank, .22 P-rod 697 FPS with JSB Heavy Diabolo 15.89 gr. The long guns hang outside, but the P-rod with shoulder stock and DFL Tanto don't reach. It didn't make it through the second pane. I should send this in to Arcadia Windows.

I keep seeing in posts on facebook ( yeah yeah - I know - consider the source . . . lol ) where guys appear to be talking like RTI has a dual reg setup now - kinda like how the FX's came out with theirs some years ago. I've quick searched here in these forums and out on the the Spanish based site that is generally a good source / reference for all things RT (https://www.rtiarms.shop/) and I don't see anything re: a dual reg.

Just curious - thanks guys

Looking to trade for .177 of similar cost that can atleast shoot lightweight slugs. Scope not included but it can be.

Edit: Ideally looking for a vulcan .177 (2 or 3), Uragan 2 .177, FX panthera hunter compact .177

Hey everybody I’m new to the springer world ,butt and it’s a big butt “sorry mike Obama” butt I’ve had pcps “lot” from 1322 builds up to 2500.00 buck guns , sold all that .well I’m older now 63 and I wanna get into Springers so I went and bought me a Weihrauch hw97 stl . Looked at every review on YouTube looked at everything I think I can. My question is I get my new gun this week? What is the first thing I do besides jump up and down and say I am the man….lol
ok
1. Clean barrel ….? Just dry patch or ?
then shoot 500 rds ?
I don’t think I wanna take the gun completely apart and clean it before I shoot it I’m capable, but I don’t want to until after I understand the guns a lot more. Is my thinking right or somebody talk to me you guys are the gurus I’ve learned a lot and I need to know what to do what to do my first gun.
I live in Idaho. The snow is not yet here, but it will be for four months so I will have lots of fun with 30 yard practice. I live on a ranch. I have lots and lots of pest and this is going to be great for me talk to me guys I need to know.

All,

I know some of you have seen a post a vet I work with made in the “General” channel.

About a week ago while we were out on a shoot we stopped for lunch and had my truck broken into.

In total I had nine airguns taken along with scopes/ammo/air tanks etc. so starting the long road to replacing all of that.

I would like to start with the airguns first.

What was taken:

FX Crown .22 and .30 (600 /700mm)
RAW .22 and .30
RTI Prophet .22
Kalibr Cricket (original) .25
Cricket Tactical .30
FX Boss .30
FX Royale .22

The real kick in the ass is I have sold multiple of these exact guns over the past couple months thinking I did not need two of so many and man am I kicking myself now!

I would like to get as close as I can to replace the above but know that is a long shot so am open to whatever might be available.

Not picky on stocks or if they have some dings here and there…..

This is all out of pocket so if you are selling a safe queen for full retail I am probably not your guy.

PayPal for pmt.

Which airgun has the best resale value?

My Delta Wolf is eating again

Going over what started out as a very slow year or so but had a great finish in adding some special items to my collection. So very lucky to have come across these and the owners who let me acquire them.

I used to really enjoy hunting, but now I get frustrated of shooting small animals. I used to drive an hour and a half every weekend with my partner to hunt, mostly small game (mostly squirrels). At that time, I dreamed of having a backyard and putting some food in there to attract small animals and then hunt them, like many Youtubers do. Now I have such conditions, but I feel sad about hunting them and wathc them diying. I don't know what makes me changed, but I still love to shoot. I only have a distance of 15 yards (from my back door) and 30 yards (from my front door). What kind of shooting challenges should I do to get more fun? Thanks guys.

Anyone have knowledge on this particular Maven scope?

I ordered my Evo on a Thursday and it shipped on Monday. They have their 10% off till Jan 6th, plus no sales tax and on mine the did not charge shipping. I didn't order the fancy case but in did come in a nice case. When I opened the case I was really impressed on how it looked, but on close inspection the cheek rest had busted (came unglued). I emailed skout about it and said I could epoxy it back together. But 1/2 hour later I had an email with tracking number for a new one. I upgraded to the LW 22 cal, 25" pellet and slug barrel. Also got the 580 CC Tank and Evo rail kit.

I did not change any of the factory setting except I change to a release trigger, IT IS GREAT. I have developed a mental block squeezing the trigger. Even though my other gun had a 4 oz trigger my mind felt like I was pulling 4 lbs.. The release trigger mad shooting fun again.

On my old rifle I would take a shot and a little later I could not remember in I had cocked the gun for the next shot. The Evo has a yellow light when not cocked that changes to red when cocked. Just a little thing but much appreciated.



These pictures are using the settings from the factory except for the release trigger. The on of the rifle is in my bench rest configuration. It has a box on the front that fits the open window but seals out the cold from outdoors. The shed is heated to around 75 degrees and you get an awful mirage from the scope without it being in the box with cold air.


The next two are shot string and chart. Notice on the shot string the outside air is 29.1 degrees


This is one of the first targets I shot at 50 yards. Never had a air rifle group like this direct from the factory


This one is indexing the barrel


I am looking forward to tuning it. I am 78 years old and shoot at least 100 shots almost every day. I would not hesitate to by again if needed.

Is it just me or are we seeing more and more posts about Air Force and not in the classified section? I feel like folks are just going back to simple guns.

I've noticed that many people are opting for the compact version and then adding a moderator to reduce the noise, effectively making it the same length as the standard 600mm barrel.

However, this approach also means sacrificing some air cylinder capacity, which could end up being more expensive in the long run than simply purchasing the standard model from the start.

Could someone explain if there are any other factors that might influence the decision to choose the compact version over the standard one? It's worth mentioning that the compact model doesn't come with a moderator when purchased new, either.

Just joined the forum to give a big shoutout and thank you to Dr. Mike (Mikelo123 I believe is his username).

Doc does a tremendous amount of work with the local Veteran community, both through some community organizations as well as on his own.

I have been going on fun shoots and hunts with Mike for a few years now and as the group has expanded so has the graciousness and selflessness of Doc.

Me and others truly owe him our lives, I can 100% say without question or reservation without him I would not be here today and I know others who would echo that.

I know he hates being in the spot light and am sure when he sees this he will yell at me to delete it but just wanted others to truly know the work he does and how much it has affected so many for the better.

We were out a week or so ago and as we headed back to town stopped for lunch and when we came out his truck tailgate was down and 12 airguns/scopes/ammo/air tanks etc. gone. Insult to injury his insurance company basically said sorry but not much we can do. In typical Mike fashion he just shrugged his shoulders and said “Well guess this is why God created American Express”. It was heart breaking to see something like this happen to someone who does nothing but try and give back (ALL of it out of his own pocket I might add) so just wanted to get this out there so others know how good of a man he is and how much he has truly helped as I know, even though he will never admit it a guy giving so much just to have something like this happen really hit him hard.

If you can reach out and just say hi to Doc tonight, (Mikelo123) I know he would appreciate it…

Appreciate the time everyone,

Good Night.

For much of my life I've been of the belief that custom parts are silly. More expensive and often without any functional advantage. But in recent I've done a total 180 on that belief. I see the art in custom work. Maybe some have no functional advantage but looking cool is enough sometimes. So lets see your custom parts.

I'll start. I'm a sucker for anodized titanium. This is a custom cocking knob for an Airmak Arms Krait Lite. Really enjoying the gun BTW.

Working on installing a Huma regulator for dad in his p-rod. It’s not going smoothly.

Dad wants the reg installed without the pressure gauge. No matter what I try, the plenum doesn’t want to seal without the pressure gauge assembly installed. Another post on this forum suggested pressurizing the gun and dry firing 20x in order to get the seals set. Tried that several times. reversed the plenum. No luck. Still more than a little air escaping the hole for the gauge.

Instructions say a spacer may or may not be present behind the pressure gauge. I don’t see it there. If the red metal inside the tube is a spacer, it’s not coming out. The surface on which the plenum o-ring should seal looks scratchy and uneven, so not surprised it’s leaking.

installing the reg and plenum with the pressure gauge in place, with front o-ring removed, works. Only get a few shots before cylinder pressure drops below reg pressure, so it’s hard to tune.
dad wants more than 700fps, which sounds reasonable enough. Increased reg pressure from about 130 to about 140 bar. Started with minimal hammer spring tension and worked up. Still get no more than 620fps even with hammer spring turned all the way up, at which point things go wonky. Also tried increasing hammer throw distance which didn’t do much of anything.

If anyone can suggest how to get the reg installed without the pressure gauge, that would be amazing. Can work on tuning from there. I know it’s a matter of getting everything balanced and working together. Left a voicemail with AOA, who might not be available until monday.

Recently got a renewed interest in AirForce guns and picked up a lightly used TalonP. Had planned on putting a larger tank on it (and may one day, who knows?) but pleasantly surprised with the small tank.

It came with a .25 barrel and I threw on an 18 inch .22 barrel I had laying around. My goal was around 800fps using the 25.39gr JSB Monsters. After some inspiration and guidance from @Mike_Lenardon on what what possible on these little guns, the weather broke enough today for me to do a string.

.166 top hat with o ring behind it, 18 inch, .22 barrel, JSB Monsters, 8-1 PW. As you can see, I filled to 2600psi, but should probably only fill to 2200 or so. Still, an impressive string if I do say so myself. Definitely happy with the results. A rough sight in later had me grouping really well out to 40 yards and acceptable at 50. Very well could tighten up those groups. I wasnt even using a rear bag, just a rough sight in.

While at it, had threw together a little 18 inch barrel .177 with a micrometer tank on another Talon and was getting around 600fps with 8.44 gr. I'm not sure if I'll keep that configuration or change it up but I do know the TalonP will not be changed at this point.
