Sheridan  Let’s see those Pumpers!

Back in the early 1980’s I did a custom finish on a bed for a man that owned a gun shop. He paid me off with a brand new Sheridan “Blue Streak.” I hadn’t had a pellet rifle since I was a boy back in the early/mid 1960’s. I was immediately hooked. A few years later I moved into the Beeman R1. I mean, who didn’t? Now some 40 years later I have moved backwards. Springers are wonderful and I have more than a few. Just found myself not shooting as much as I once did. Then I picked up a 2008 Crosman 392PA 22 caliber with a custom stock. Oh boy, I‘m back. I’m enjoying the simplicity, light weight, smooooth firing and dead nuts accuracy I once did decades ago. The 392PA opened the door to a 2003 Crosman S-C9A 20 caliber and 1991 Benjamin S-397P 177 caliber. And the Benjamin S-397P is a mate to the Benjamin S-H9 177 caliber pistol I bought new back in the early 1990’s. So now with a pumper in all 3 calibers, I have no need for another. Denial is a wonderful tool! Top to bottom - S-397P, S-C9A, 392PA, S-H9 pistol. The S-H9 pistol is number 3674 made. The serial numbers started at 100001. In 1991.
Let’s see yours.

Chinese Chronograph

I just purchased one of these cheap chinese chronographs. It did not come with any instructions. Do any forum members have a set of instructions for these they could copy and post or PM me with? Some say the instructions that come with these are not very good. Maybe someone has worked out a better operating instruction list they could post.

Found Slug Press for Vulcan 3 in .3063 caliber

I really wanted to buy the www.presslug.com but at this point they don't make custom sized dies. The Corbin I've just read too much about not always consistent and for as long as they've been around you'd think it would be better.
"FT Airguns
Juan Pablo presslug have better quality, tight fit and the dies holder center to center perfect. The finishing on the dies is awesome.
Corbin is more basic, no micro adjustment and the die don't set straight in the thread. The puncher holder also is not auto centered, you must do a manual alignment"

So I ordered the Thor Slug Press https://thormoldsinc.com/?m=home&c=Lists&a=index&tid=45 and at $950 including the custom sized die in .3063 that's like half of what Corbin or Presslug cost.

I'll Post the results when I get the press and get some shooting in.

N/A  Seal failure after approximately 550 shots

Well, this one gave up the ghost!
It actually held up about as long as expected

Leather seal on the left from a Girandoni rifle after going through over 5 boxes of round balls.

Valve stem and seal are from a spare valve.

As it started to fail, it was a learning curve on the guns power. When it was in great condition, the gun was not very powerful... it was in the mid to low 400fps range. But as it got worse, the stem was higher in the valve face. Resulting in velocities near 600fps. Huge difference with very little length change. So it was either that or the dying seal was letting more air out around it.

Regardless, a better seal will make the gun a decent rifle.

ZAN Fatboy Pellets in 25 and 30 cal

Hi,
Found some info for these on the ZAN FB page. Utahairguns has them listed for sale, but they aren't available yet. 29gr in 25cal and 47gr in 30cal.

My first rats with the Zulus 5x-20x

This was my first night outing with the Zulus bagged three, recovered the two. My setup was less than idea and will have to be refined. 8-9 yard shots into small crevasses the rats have created in the slab. Going forward am simply killing them without recording and will document the kills afterwards or not.🤓

Anyone knows how to reach out to AEA directly?

Hi guys! Anyone dealt before with AEA directly? I need to order AEA Challenger top Picatinny rail. I've reached out to Pellet Shop and Utah Airguns and Pellet Shop guys are still trying to find it and Utah folks told me that they don't have it and advised to ask AEA directly but did not provide any contact info for AEA. AEA official site is defunct and their phone is disconnected. Anyone has any idea how to get in touch with AEA directly? Thank you AGN!

Separation anxiety 😁

Anybody else here get "separation anxiety" when it comes time to sell a gun or guns?? I have pulled out my gun again today for the 5th time so far and took pics of it to sell it on here but then start looking at it.... Holding it.. aiming it.... Then back in the case and back in the closet until the next time I decide to "sell it"... 🤔🤔 I can't seem to post it.. I don't shoot it at all . The only time I see it is when I'm "selling it".. so what seems to be the problem.... IDK

Benjamin  Another P-Rod permutation

Installed a JSAR P-Rod valve in one of my bottle builds that was previously powered with a Maximus valve coupled with a 2240 steel breech.

0302230614 (2).jpg


I had another P-Rod tube, so I installed the JSAR valve in it, along with a Hill gauge block and aluminum hammer. So I took the above assembly, minus the rear stock/bottle/reg combo, installed a gauge and P-Rod forearm & rear stock, and gave it to my neighbor. He was "shickled titless" you might say.

So I needed a breech & bolt assembly, and decided to use the top end & trigger group from my P-Rod build in a 1701 tube, which will of course be born again at some point, and a Marauder 20" barrel -

And this is the result -

20240316_103511.jpg


Well, I have to say, so far, I'm VERY PLEASED with the performance of the valve. The Gurllieu paintball reg has a 2200 psi output, and getting 31.5 fpe with FX 18.1 pellets.
I got lucky with this Marauder barrel - I sighted in with H&N 14.6 grain FT at 25 yards. - 15.89 grain Barracuda, Predator shorts, and 18.1 FX all have the same poi, and all still dead on at 42 yards, the distance from my shooting rest to my far target backstop. I can get in 55 yard shots from my Hunter position 13 yards behind my bench, but that's utilised for Hunter FT practice.

Hope this wasn't too boring, just thought ya'll might want to know what some of us are up to in the "cheap seats" -

N/A  Special edition trends

Special editions have always been a thing to get your hands on a unique offering aesthetically with a stable reliable platform behind it. Right now the trend seems to lean heavily into colored grain laminate stocks. This a pic of a current hw77k limited stock ...
1000001797.gif

I am not saying these concepts aren't interesting...but these are like an in between concept for me. Technically made of wood, yet lacking the natural beauty of real wood. UnNatural looking, yet not as light weight/weather proof functionally as plastic. With as many things as the air gun companies have done to emulate powder burners, from magazines, bolt actions, semi auto, blow back slides and so on....I would love to see some limited editions that come with stocks that take a page out of the traditional firearms book.
1000001795.jpg
1000001796.jpg

Weatherby mark v....high figure, full carve, deep cut checking, contrasting accent wood at the muzzle end of the foregrip/grip cap, right/left handed specific, accenting spacer on the recoil pad etc.
They have a limited edition that puts a tx200hc in a piece of furniture like that...I get real interested in having less money.

Difficulty with reticle

I have mostly been "lurking" here to learn about air gunning. But I would realy like to try informal benchrest. I have an Avenger X in 25 caliber topped with an Athlon 10x40 scope. I have been shooting it at 50 yards but having a great deal of difficulty distinguishing the reticle. (It is very thin) Would it help if I find a sunshade to go on the end? It is 56mm. Thanks for being patient with a newbie. I actually bought a couple of AEA guns 2 years ago and then never did anything with them so they sit in the safe because I really like the Avenger X.

Other  I could use some help

Good evening. I purchased an Airacuda Max .25 a year and a half ago. This is the first pcp gun I’ve ever owned. . I love this gun but have had several problems and I am now willing to move on if there is a better path. I’ve had clipping problems that I resolved I’ve had air leaks that I have gotten repaired and now today I have another air leak. I’m willing to move onto another gun if there is one out there that is way more dependable and at least as accurate and as quiet as this one is. I am set up with a filling station and scope so all I need is a high-quality gun. I really don’t want to put a price point on it but I use this gun for pesting and family shooting. Key points are something extremely dependable and overly accurate in a .25 caliber.
