Looking for an rti barrel change tool

This will probably not happen to anyone else, but just in case...

Do not buy pellets while traveling by air without a checked bag. TSA views them the same as firearm ammo and won't let them in as carry-on. We know how stupid this is, but that's the rule and they can't be talked out of it.

If you do end up in this position, you may very well become the owner of one of the smallest checked bags in existence. (It's actually a nice bag that came with dense foam inside, worked out perfectly for me. It just cost too much because airport pricing.)

I am in the process of finding a good combo pellet/slug and velocity for my AEA Challenger Bullpup .25. Today, while shooting a few 5-shots
groups I got these:


First group shot, 1" ctc, second group 3/8" ctc, third group 3/4". Same distance (32 yds.), same overall conditions. What can explain such a big difference between groups 1 and 2? Can something be concluded about the gun accuracy? These pattern of good/regular/poor groups repeat itself time and time again. Frustrating...

So after a while of wanting to get into PCP I am going to take the plunge with a Umarex Notos. I am still not sure on scope, rings, and if I will go with a tank or compressor from Amazon. I am leaning towards a tank. What do you guys recommend for scope, rings, and tank set up? I am balling on a budget for this so let’s keep it cheap lol.
if possible please provide a link to them.
Thank you,
Dustin

Finally, went to my permission and the damn rodents were out, boy were they out. A true target rich environment. Everything from 25 yards to 125 yards. Luckily they'd mowed the weeds at the 125 yards so it was way easier to see the pesky rodents.

Today I used my Raptor, 660mm 26in. barrel, AEA 30.2 SLUGS at 960fps. 56 ft#, 41 ft# at 115 yards. My marks were spot on from a few weeks back so close enough

Saw some out at my 75 yard mark and pretty sure I hit it, saw some more out at 120 yards had to play around with windage and elevation and thought I'd gotten a few, never did find them but a Turkey Vulture sure did. Saw more at 55 yards, nary a clue if I hit them but I scared them. Saw two at 25 yards nailed the small one then momma came over to investigate, bad mistake. Then 4 more at 25 or so on a log, how I missed them is beyond me, I think I had my elevation off, I've got to get new glasses. Then people started showing up and that was the end of it, eyes were getting fuzzy anyway so it was time to call it, hadn't seen any for close to half an hour, plus the wind was starting to kick up. Sadly my faithful retriever Pete couldn't make it, something about his birthday or some such nonsense and Fil wasn't available either to go and fetch.

It was strange how the 120 yard blew out the guts but the 25 yards were pretty much pass throughs.


25 yards 120 yards

Right now my Vulcan 3 is shooting 65.5 grain slugs at 915 FPS / 121 ft lbs.... Can't wait to get this new regulator in and see what she'll push them out at!!

Moving a few things along that came in a package I bought

700cc 300 bar carbon fiber bottle, new in box 140.00

Accu-Tac (genuine) bipod in great shape with picatinny mount. 220.00

I was just watching the new videos on the Slash posted by Taipan. The gun is much more involved taking it apart compared to the Veterans, but at least you don't have to disassemble the Slash to adjust the regulator.

Also, I don't know anything about semi-auto guns but with a hammer gun, we are trying to balance the hammer strike with the regulator pressure. According to the videos, the Slash only allows regulator adjustments... so I'm assuming the gun is hammerless? In which case, it means I won't have to worry about shot to shot consistency when adjusting the power via the regulator?

Taipan sent this to me the other day. I ordered the .22 and this caliber and the .177 and .30 have limited testing compared to the .25.

Notice the fill pressures ( initial pressure bar ) are all under the max 300 bar.
The .22 had only 235 bar onboard for the test, got 56 shots just below the reg pressure and the shot count seems it would be quite a bit higher with a full or close to full fill.

I would probably keep mine under 300 B as well but not as low as in the tests.

Bakersfield California area if possible I need someone to fill my Scott 4500 PSI carbon fiber tank ! Tried rebuilding my yong heng compressor with no success and really would like to get out and shoot my PCP rifles I will compensate for the fill. Would be very nice today if possible!? Thank you!

I have a Prochrono that is very temperamental. I am trying to register slow 177 cal pellets and bbs in shade or sun, but it is not recognizing them. Does anybody know of a cheap reliable chrono made for slingshots and airguns, especially 177 caliber?

hey guys i am new to the air gun world,, i see a lot has changed since my daisy red ryder bb gun.

looking in to a break barrel stout enough to knock out groundhogs ,, thinking 25 cal,,
but which one? there are quite few choices. my maximum distance will be around 40 to 50 yards hopefully closer.

hatsan has a few in my price range.. i am looking at 300 to 350 for my budget. is this possible ? and cost of decent scope too.

thanks
doc martin

Hello All, this isn't anything but some thoughts from a green new comer to the sport/hobby and just wondering how deep I can dig my hole.
I recently got my first. AV Avenger Bullpup(2) 25 cal. Groundhogs, Raccoons after my chickens, paper, just plinking.
I did allot of research. AV had a summer promotion (15%) so this gun was <$400. Wow. I got a little cheap on the scope, CVLife 2-10 x 32 AO. For the money it's quite good. Compressor; open box smaller one Spiritech. $100 ($275 retail). Same overstock got a great rifle bag, $20 ($80 retail). Then, obviously, pellets.
At this point, my wife asked me, "Do you have everything you need?" ; "Are you sure you don't need anything else?" She wasn't asking to be hard about it, just rather keep our budget and understand.
So.... This is where things took a bit of a turn on me. Simple things, Silicon cloth for wipe down, muzzle cleaning patches, loctite, bubble level kit.
Ok, that outta do it. Looking great. Oops, forgot a few things. Resting it to mount the scope is making me crazy. Needed a small rifle rest. Cheap laser bore to get close(was junk, returned), basic resting sand bags, etc.
Oh, I can't be sure how this things is performing? Ask for advice, everyone said the same thing. "You need a Chrono". That sounds expensive. I found a budget Chinese one that was well reviewed and most guys here agreed.... $50.
Back to my wife; so I needed a few more things. Not overly expensive. She's completely fine but smiling with the "I knew it" look on her face.
Hmmm... Maybe I should upgrade that glass? Those digital pressure gauges look nice. A moderator would do this thing some justice. Wow, some of these higher end guns look amazing. I bet it'd be easier to fill from a bottle.
I knew, like everything, this could be a real rabbit hole. I didn't realize just how much I'd love it. I'm wondering if others out there had a similar experience and where that road led them.

All my best to everyone. Sorry for the long post but it felt good to put it out there....

Good morning,
I am going to try some N50 with air rifle and rimfire and I'm looking at getting a Randolph front rest or an AR 250 front rest with joystick. I was curious if the AR 250 can cover a whole card at 50 yards? Also every time I go to look at the Randolph front rest it says the website could be being impersonated because their certificate expired and is a risk going to the webpage. Have you guys had that issue? I would like to look at them and get an ideal on price? Thanks
Jon

Hi, got the Presslug 2025, having iuuses with the crown, no problems for a while then unable to unscrew the crowns top screw, its stuck solid and i mean solid, anyone else have this issue...... Al

New to Airgun Nation and haven't been in a forum for a very long time. I a few PCP guns but none of them are regulated. My question is a regulated pcp a better gun from shot to shot. My inventory of guns are FX Ranchero, FX Tarantula, JTS Airacuda, Hatsan Flashpup QE & Umarex Guantlet G1 that is in the process of getting some upgrades. Any input about this would be greatly appreciated.

I already have an HW100 in this cal that I’ve got tuned to shoot at 16 FPE and it’s perfect for that application. What I’m thinking of is a low powered , 8 fpe ( 8.4 grain at 650fps) with a monster shot count. I’m not an airgun snob , but I refuse to buy a rifle from China and would prefer not to buy from Turkey either. Yes I know that’s going to limit what I can get my hands on.

Here’s the criteria and remember I’m up in Canukistan so I’m already pretty limited.
Bottle fed ,maybe 700cc if the bottle fits
Short-under 36”
Regulated
Under 7 lbs
Multi shot
Wood stock preferably

Here a couple rifles I have in mind.
HW100 with a dr.BOBs bottle adapter
RAW HM1000
FX boss /crown

What other rifles should I consider?

I have given a few of these away to family and friends, But the one I am playing with , The big plus is the light weight, Installed a 25 cc plumin a FX 380 barrel and the trigger kit, No bottle yet, Ha, I took the red dot and the swampfox off to test the accuracy of the FX barrel, Still trying to keep it light I installed a Arkin EPL-4 FFP 6x25-50 scope.Its still a fun light weight gun but not impressed with the FX barrel, May try and polish the barrel and do a lap of the end of the barrel to get rid of the sharp edge, Might help, may not we will see,,, LOL we know why the Notos is called a money pit, No matter what you spend on it its still a 300 dollar gun, A 300 dollar fun gun, Its a pellet gun unsure of the FXbarrel but my range is 50 yards , So no matter what pellets will be the king in accuracy at that range , I am shooting the 18gr pellet's at about 800 fps and the 15 gr a little faster.
Unless you are just playing around and want to tinker with a gun its a good deal for a new guy, But for the same money you can buy a used Veteran, Vulcan, Uragan, Cricket.
That will make this built up Notos look like red Ryder BB gun..

Got a new rifle and it came to me doing 1029 fps, ~24.5fpe. I got it to hopefully shoot silhouettes and HFT so it needs to be >20fpe. I probably should have gotten a different gun but here we are. I’ve been reading a bit on tuning this type of rifle and have had some input on where to start with it by some helpful members. My initial testing has shown JSB exact 10.34 are really accurate and stable at 46yds. 10 shot groups at that distance were a touch over moa, using my fist as a rear bag, forgot my sandbag….

I started tuning today. My plan was to start by cranking the HS out 3 turns and the fps dropped a whole 7 fps on average. Next I pulled the valve and did 1/8 turn in, regassed to 250b and took another 1/2 turn out of the hammer spring, fps dropped down to 906fps. After a 10 shot string I had an es of 15. I put a 1/2 turn back in on the HS and the velocity shot up to the 940’s. I decided to get back into the valve and lower the setting a little more, though I started to turn the valve OUT (ccw) by accident then turned it in another 1/8 turn. After putting it all back together my fps went up to the high 960’s, I didn’t bother shooting more than a few shots and had to put it away for another day.

My initial impression is that I can get to >20fpe, with a stable enough shot string, es and sd, hopefully with no more than a little fiddling with the valve and HS. I was shooting at 12 yards and everything was going in the same hole but that’s really no indication of accuracy ime.

My plan is to get the speed down some more with the valve and then tune the HS tension over the course of a few days, letting the rifle sit between adjustments.

I have zero experience with a balanced valve and only slightly more with a Mrod from about a decade ago, I’m green to say the least. Any input is appreciated!

I'm having trouble seeing the reticle on my element scope I ordered the illuminated reticle because I was having trouble and I'm still having trouble. Even with or without my glasses on I still can't see it. Can anybody recommend a scope that may help. Thanks in advance

Well I finally pulled the trigger I ordered a tripod. A kopfijager k700 with reaper grip.
We shall see if it was worth it.

Hey all. Im new here and looking to upgrade from a cheap Umarex .177 to a PCP for iguana hunting. My dilemma is between .22 and .25. The .177 has done great over the years (well over 1000 iguanas) but struggles with the big boys. Looking for a tactical or bullpup style with a larger carbon bottle that's accurate and quiet. What are you guys using?
