A friend of mine turned me on to this simple method of aligning your wind flags so the credit goes to @Buckeye68 . We were both previously using string from the bench to the target stand, which works great but it’s kind of a pain, especially when someone else walks into your string .

We bought a $18 GREEN laser pointer off of FleaBay but I assume Amazon sells them too. Then mounted it to a 3 point adjustable base. Set the base next to your rifle, on the bench, and point it to your target. Walk out to where you want to position your flag and stand in front of the laser until you find the dot on your chest then position your flag just below the laser. Below is a link to the one I bought.

@Buckeye68 has a much higher tech aluminum base. Perhaps he will post a picture of his?

BTW, a red laser does NOT work in bright sunlight. Don’t ask how I know that tidbit of info?

I just received a DRS 25 700, it is even better than I thought it would be.
Out of the box the reg was set at 128 bar, this shot the H&N 40gr heavy at 935 fps.
I set the reg to 150 bar which gave me 970 fps without touching the hammer tension, but it wasn't very consistent, my experience with my DRS 22 700 was to reduce hammer spring tension to get a more consistent shot string.
This made it worse, so i slowly increased hammer spring tension until I got this shot string.


I was only able to get it set up and sighted in.

There will be more to come, like shot count and accuracy.

Just in case anyone is wondering the DRS has become my favorite rifle.

I think I've just about decided to invest in "good" wind flags. Something responsive and easy to set up properly - probably with a bubble level at the top. I have a couple of the MTM inexpensive ones, just looking for something better. I already own three good stands so just looking for flags. Advice and links welcome.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello All

I took a Hiatus from Air gunning....Work Family etc...I am getting back into the air gun hobby once again and really enjoying it. I am starting to save up for a new air gun "Bullpup" style rifle in a few months and I already DO own 2 FX impacts...the Mk1 version from 2016 and 2017 ( Without the Plenum and Power Block ) which I bought from a member here long ago. I have noticed however that many air gun companies are making bullpups that look like the FX Impact? Obviously to compete but whats the deal with this? Almost similar to the Impact..in design and shape. Is the FX Company Loosing its Luster? Are these other alternatives better than the Impact? Brocock Ghost, Daystate Delta Wolf, Western Airguns Rattler, Beeman Underlever, RTI P3 Etc.... I heard that FX manufacturing went to China and most parts are no longer being made in Sweden. Is FX still making great PCP Rifles? Too many O rings and moving parts....one small part breaks...the whole gun breaks??? Should I get an FX Impact M3 instead of the alternatives...Kalibri or AirMaks?

Kalibr Guns and AirMaks....are two brands that I am looking into, they make some gorgeous looking Bullpups and heard great things about them. Any Info on these two Air Gun Companies...Are they reliable air gun manufactures?

Thanks Guys
Mark

just passing this on , i am not affiliated with the company, i recently purchased a 1/2 hp water pump , & just yesterday received a 24 /34 gallon diaphragm pump to transfer waste oil. ( i use W/oil for heat ) each one was shipped free , & arrived with in a week .. Mod's if this not within rules please delete, Well that didn't work

Have a TX200 standard length and thinking Pro Sport. Thoughts an input much appreciated.

In another thread I post about messing up my reseal and being stuck on getting the rifle back apart. That got worked out so I am starting a new thread to hopefully simplify someone searching for this issue in the future.

Rifle is a 2015 build HM1000 and spent the last few years in a gun case in the back of a truck, so lots of temperature swings. When I first charged it the rifle leaked slowly. Enough to hear it but slow enough to shoot it some. Thing is accurate! I ordered a seal kit from RAW and replaced the orings. Nothing else.

Problem is the bottle will fill and hold air but the air is NOT making it into the regulator or to the valve. The gauge shows pressure.

I have searched and everything I find I about leaks and nothing mentions this particular problem. If an isolated problem nobody has ever had before I am the guy that will have it.

I did not take the washer stack off the regulator. Just replaced the orings.

*** SOLD ***

I bought this gun used last Fall from Airguns of Arizona. Haven't really shot it much as we haven't really bonded. Don't like the feel/form factor. Give me a Crown in a GRS stock and I'm happy as a pig in slop. But this gun is no Crown wearing a GRS stock.

Took some 50 yard shots with it this morning. The on-target performance shows that I'm not much of a marksman, and that I'm not all that comfortable over the gun. Only one screw up on my part though, where the trigger broke earlier than I was expecting. Trigger has been set up by previous owner as pretty much a light, clean single stage.

Gun comes with 5 each FX magazines, a single shot tray and a CARM single shot loader (the latter being my preference). Plus the owner's manual and the OEM FX hard case.

Gun is in very good condition, but has some little marks on it courtesy of the previous owner. I've tried to show all of them which I see in the photos below. And it looks like it is missing 2 bolts from under the barricade block? Don't know what's up with that.

Price is $1,400 shipped to an address in the CONUS, with payment via PayPal Friends and Family (the only form of electronic payment I have).

Thanks for looking,
Tom

EDIT: Not really looking for trades, but you can always offer. I have been thinking about maybe wanting to try a full size Sidewinder in .22 or .25...

.

Anyone had any experience? Original or new HP?

What do you think?

i just realized that i have not seem any posting by ( i think Mike ) but might be wrong , hope all is well..

To the entire cast and crew. Enjoy.

Crosman SSP250, 177cal, came across another one that I'll be letting go. No time to test, no time to tinker so selling as is. Figure on it needing a reseal. Has the earlier round breech, missing the front sight but comes with the shoulder stock. $150 shipped. Breeches all sold.

Was seriously effing them up tonight from 10 to 15 yards, off an old tripod sending CPHPs. Took at least twice the amount filmed and pictured. The Atomic XR and the Zulus were simply ruthless… Am still head over heels with my Atomic, it really is a wicked little gun…

Hello Friends,

Up for Sale today is a pristine Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 sfp for $275 TYD. PayPal f&f CONUS. Looks like these retail for $449 on optics planet currently. I’ll even throw in the mount to boot.

Any questions call James 949-363-3011

Happy shootin’ fellas.

Looking for one. Let me know what you have.

Thanks.

AoA has 4” and 6” models of the Diana Raptor .177 pellet revolver, as per AoA’s website the gun is manufactured by Daystate.

Anyone have any experience with these? Seem to use the same moon clip type pellet carriers as the Gamo revolver, but unsure of compatibility.

Is this gonna be about as close as you can get to a Umarex 586, but in a Python?

Daystate rifles seem to have a solid reputation, could you expect close to the same quality of manufacture at this sub $200 price point?

Well I pre-ordered a Dynamic 35cal. Was wanting some slug recommendations for the rifle. I'd appreciate any other suggestions also.

Thanks,

Mike

Edit to add: I've shot 900 pellets now in this T9. It really likes JSB Diabolo and Hades, almost no issues with these. Will have to wait for the proper bintac certified slugs to be made for it. I was just shooting at 20 yards with it and it's a fun pistol to play with!

So I just got my bintac T9. Seemed like something fun to play with. The only time I can get it to fire a full mag in semi auto is if the pressure isn't all the way up to 4500psi. At full pressure after the first shot it won't reload, I have to pull the charging handle back to chamber another pellet. It seems to work better if you don't try and rapid fire it. It also doesn't fit very many kinds of slugs since the magazine is so narrow.

I have 7 kinds of slugs in .357. Most won't fit. I have some zan slugs that fit great but it won't cycle them correctly. I bought some texoma T9 pellets but they are too long for the magazine, I tried filing them down but no luck. Polymags are way too long. I got the best results with pellets. The JSB hades and exact .35 pellets worked better, but the only thing that would fire reliably was the pellets that were included with the gun, they don't have a brand on them.

I did figure out that if you have a threaded western rattler adapter from donnyFL it will thread on to the T9 barrel and let you use a moderator. The threaded rattler shroud screws on also. I'm going to test DB readings in a couple days.

When the thing fires correctly it's pretty accurate at 15 yards, I haven't tried it at any distance yet. I seem to get 16 shots from 4500psi, but the first 8 are a headache having to pull the handle back and try not to double chamber rounds. After 16 shots I was down to around 150 bar.

Just thought I would share. I've only shot about 4 mags through it so maybe I'll get it dialed in and figure out why it won't work in semi auto at full pressure.

This is one hell of a little rifle. Originally was a “pistol” but converted to rifle. Breech is machined to accept a mag and single shot tray. Currently has single shot tray installed. Has a Huma reg and Donny fl adapter. Has a custom balanced valve and nylon lightweight hammer made by @mackeral5. Currently set to 750 fps with 10.3 gr pellets. Comes with 2 mags, original forearm, and original pistol grip. Stock has some scuffs and scratches.
