N/A  Switching to PCP

So, I've decided to switch from break barrel to PCP. long story short, I bought a break barrel (double ordered on accident actually) and i've had nothing but problems with it...
break barrels seem to be too inconsistent and too finicky for me... I'm impatient. I don't want to spend an hour trying to zero in a scope because I have to use a specific rest (sand bags) and use an artillery grip and have to hold the gun the exact same way every time you shoot it so that it shoots consistent... and then the barrel might have play in it so when you break the barrel it might not come back to the *exact* same spot so your shot placement will be off etc etc....

nah... thats too much unnecessary crap for me... I've spent 2 weeks trying to sight in this stupid gamo swarm break barrel and I'm getting sick of it. im wanting to just throw it in the garbage if im being honest. (and not only that it kills my arms after cocking it about 20-30 times.) I'd prefer something a bit easier to shoot with a bit more consistency and accuracy. (plus I'd like to use a rail mounted bi-pod or possibly a clamped tri-pod since i plan on hunting with it).

Initially the only reason i went with break barrel is cause im left handed and i couldnt find many left handed or ambidextrous PCPs. That being said, i recently saw that the Benjamin Armada (Linked here) has a reversible bolt for us south paws and is regulated. I've always heard good things about benjamin n(typically the maurader, but the armada has a under barrel rail and I dont see one on the maurader). BUT I've read some pretty negative reviews about the cartridge and how cheaply made they are... I'd LIKE to keep the price under $800 USD if anyone could recommend a GOOD ambedextrous PCP. Rememeber I'm wanting undermounted bipod and left handed/ambedextrous. semi auto or bolt action is fine. Would also like it to be regulated.

TIA.

This mornings hunt.

Got in woods at 8:45 sat down on a log killed 1st squirrel at 8:59 at 40 yds. No head shots today(heart/lung) as squirrels were moving and had to stop them with a squeak or high pitched noise. Last squirrel was killed at 11:20. Farthest shot was 45 yds closest was 20yds. Gun was Dreamline Classic .22 and 18.1 gr JSBs. Temp was 35 deg when I got in woods, light frost on windshield of truck this morning.

I dun been robbed!

Just testing my new slug liner in the field. The 1:16 .25 600 that UA said the ".25 superior heavy' has been updated to ... Actually works great. 28-34 slug hp, zan, and griffins shooting pellet sized groups for me. I've settled on 30gr Zan's, until I try some javelins but unless they group like 25.4 JSB out of a superior STX 1:24 sticking with the zans.. however. I just thwacked me a giant healthy looking grey through the noggin, and a sunnabitch coopers hawk stole him ..... Wtf? Anyone else have this happen before? Of course I've seen them take sparrows and other kills while pesting before retrieval but after sitting a while . This bastard took off before he landed. I'm willing to bet with the speed he yoinked mr.grey.

Anyway. I'm just blowing some steam. Crying like a unstable zoomer forced to manually calculate change at the register..

Drozd Bumble Bee help please

So I was able to score an all black bumble bee. Loaded batteries, bb's, and CO2 last night and started grinning!
This morning when I went back for a second helping of fun the CO2 had all leaked out. I put in a new cartridge and she was leaking immediately. Pretty sure it's within the magazine. Upon teardown I see that there is no seal where the cartridge makes contact with the piercer. Shouldn't there be a flat o-ring there to seal against the top of the cartridge? Is this a Drozd specific part or is there a generic seal available? Part number or link would be awesome. Maybe other seals in the mag are due for replacement anyway but this seems like a starting point.
Thanks in advance

HW/Weihrauch  Weihrauch HW97 K with 0.25 pellets?

While I would prefer something with fixed sights as opposed to scope only, this Weihrauch HW97 K in 0.25 looks good.

How does it perform in real life? What other ~$650USD non-PCP air rifles in 0.25 should I consider against this one? Or, would I be better off with a 0.22 version with easier to source pellets in an HW 77 or something similar?

I am looking mainly for "pesting" use but, some general plinking at various soda and beer cans is likely too! :)

TIA,
Sid

FX  M3 tuning help

I have an M3 with a 700mm barrel in .22cal which I am trying to tune to shoot 27gr slugs at or around 950fps.I have installed a Huma pin probe huma light hammer and the power spring set.Set up is macro wheel at 16 micro at or near 5 reg 1st 135 2nd 110 valve at line 5.My question is it is shooting at around 940fps on power wheel 16 but shoots the same speed on power wheel 1. I would expect to see a significant drop in power between the two settings. what am I doing wrong ?

Snowpeak  PP700 Why ?

Why did I wait so long? Bought a PP750 pretty good quality for price point, Bought two Huben GKI 22 and 25 Pistols , The wow factor is going to take a while on these guns maybe a long time!!!!! A few years ago when the PP 700 came out I thought , China junk, Man was I wrong, The PP750 showed me, and the Hubens taught me, that I am WRONG,, Oh did I say I also have a Huben KI 22 rifle , Well this is a pistol form we will keep it pistols, Just dont be a dumb as-s like me and think Junk, Its not, And I hate buying from China , I keep telling myself Its just a sport..

HW/Weihrauch  HW 80 build .22 long rifle.

This is a older HW 80 ,.22 I made for myself. I rarely use any barrel longer than 13 inches shrouded, to 17 with some internal work . However; I wanted this gun to look like a classic Remington 700 look

It’s very accurate but took some time to get used to the ballance of 500mm barrel.
20 ft lbs and a breeze to cock with a 29 coil spring and custom guides and top hat, minor port work.
Since I never use sights I machined the breech to match the chamber like a Uk Tommy. Reblued to factory finish..

custom feather crotch walnut stock.

Shot cycle is dead ,but a louder snap than I’m used to as there is no shroud.
Time to checker the custom feather crotch Claro walnut

N/A  Painting a PCP tank?

Hi everyone.
So I have seen little to nothing on the World Wide Web on this topic.
Why is no one painting their PCP air gun tanks?.

I see so many people are customizing their guns to make them unique for themselves, but nowhere have I seen anyone with a painted bottle.
Just wondering why?

Most people if any that I know of don’t get the tanks on their guns. Pressure tested only the large refill tanks and a lot of people are using aftermarket tanks anyways which can’t be hydrotested. If they’re not DOT certified.

Why then could we not Hydro dip and clearcoat a tank for our guns?

I have seen quite a few nitrous oxide bottles, custom painted as well as pneumatic cylinders for cars, that never accustom painted air gun tank?

I realize that completely painting a tank could cover up the original manufacturing labeling, but a quick snap of a picture could take care of that.. I could also see people being creative in painting around the label..

FX  M4 with hybrid slugs

I just dropped this tune on my Impact M4. I’m sure I could reduce the reg a bit, but I’d prefer for the reg to be the engine instead of the hammer.

IMG_7873.jpeg


Currently the goal is to smoothly shoot the 22g FX Hybrid slugs between 980-990 FPS.


First I’ll try it with the standard liner, then switch to a heavy liner if the results aren’t good. If neither of those yield the results I’m looking for then I’ll switch back to the standard liner and reduce the velocity to about 930 FPS.

Tuning  How do you choke a barrel ?

I normally remove a bit of material from the OD of muzzle end around 3/4". This removal of material is gradual in dia. A bit more material removal from the crown end and tapering it gradually.

Then I make bush having ID of reverse gradual tapering.

Then I push fit the bush on the muzzle end of the barrel and the barrel becomes choked and gives the desired results.

Please share how do you choke your barrels if needed.

Stocks/Grips/Chassis  SOLD Nicest grip I've ever owned: Smoke Composites Ultra Light Carbon Fiber Pistol Grip 34g!!!

Hello AGN:

Looking to sell the nicest/most expensive grip I've ever owned for any gun, period: a Smoke Composites Carbon Fiber Ultra Light Pistol / AR grip. This is an insanely nice grip made entirely out of carbon fiber and it is extremely light at only 34 grams! I'll ship it with the stainless steel bolt I used to mount it on my Leshiy 2 - if you need another length bolt for your application, let me know and I'd probably have one for you. This grip should fit any standard flat top AR application; included below are a couple of photos showing the grip as previously installed on my Leshiy.

This grip currently sells for $189 + tax/shipping so you're looking at over $210 for it if purchased from their website.

Price here is $150 delivered to your door...

RWS  Did I damage my gun.

I was cleaning my RWS 350 and I accidentally hit the safety and touched the trigger and the barrel slammed shut. Luckily no concussion or sheared finger tips. I did shoot it after and it seemed to shoot just as hard. I need to check with my chrono. My question is even if the velocity does not change., did I do any damage to any component of the gun and how can I check for it. I realize the RWS 350 safety is not as safe as the HW and FWB 124 safeties as they require a lot of force to engage while the RWS 350 is easily moved. Thinking slamming the barrel shut is not as bad as a dry fire. Please advise.
