HW/Weihrauch  I left the HW30 cocked again🤬

Between crumby weather, holiday activities and my kids coming to visit I haven't shot my HW30s in a while. Today I took my peep sighted 30 out and found it loaded and cocked. For how long? I'm not sure. I'd guess at least two weeks. Fired off the loaded shot and a few more. It felt fine. I set up the chrono to make sure. Nope.

This gun was last shooting 7.33s around 715 fps. Today ten shots averaged 686 fps. That's almost 30 fps. When people tell you leaving a springer cocked doesn't do anything, all I'll say it's it depends on the gun and for how long. It's embarrassing to say but this is the second time I've done this to the same gun. Last time it was over a three day weekend and the results were about the same.

I keep extra springs on hand. Now I have to decide if I want to change it out. I like them over 700fps.

Fool me once.... Fool me twice.....🤦

FX  FX Panthera Tuning Methodology

My question has to do with the actual procedure and protocol you use to set up your FX Panthera for different slugs and pellets. When I speak of methodology, I am speaking to the process to figure out the regulator and HST settings for a slug or pellet of a certain grain weight.

The manual that comes with my FX Panthera 25 caliber 600 mm barrel air rifle has ideas that help one start. For example, it says to start with the macro hammer spring tension adjuster set to 13. Then using the micro HST adjuster to fine tune the hammer spring tension. It does not tell you specifically when to do this, but it does tell you how to do this. I want to know the when do I do this operation?

The next thing in the manual is the externally adjusted AMP regulator. It tells you where the hex screw is located and to turn it counterclockwise to increase regulator pressure, and clockwise to decrease pressure. The manual also provides you with the warnings about making sure that the plenum is depressurized prior to making these adjustments. It tells you to fire the air gun several times after making approximately one-fourth turn adjustment. Then observe the regulator pressure to see if it is stabilized at its new setting. Again, when, and why should someone perform this regulator change is a mystery.

Nowhere does the manual ever establish the protocol to use when tuning the air gun for a pellet or slug. That is what I am trying to get to. Here are my questions and I would appreciate detailed answers.

1. What is the protocol to follow to achieve a good tune, and how will I know when I am at the good tune point? What I am looking for is a detailed step by step process that one could use to achieve a good tune for a specific slug or pellet out of the FX Panthera 600 mm. The reason I say 600 mm is because it does have the heavy superior barrel for slugs.

2. Often, I see statements like "I'm trying to achieve 935 ft per second with a 40-grain slug". My question is how does one know what FPS is good for a specific slug or pellet? Where do these numbers come from?

3. When my FX Panthera arrived, it was set up NICELY for JSB match Diablo King heavy Pellets 33.95 grain. My regulator was at 110 bar and HST set to 2.3. The pellets travel at 875 ft per second on average. At 50 yards it is dead accurate. Now I would like to know what other FX Panthera 25 caliber 600 mm barrel owners have determined for their air gun regarding other slugs and pellets. For example, I would love to have FX Panthera settings (regulator and HST) in terms of FPS for JSB knockout slugs 33.49 grain, FX hybrid slugs 26 grain, Zan 41 grain slugs and AVS 40 grain slugs .2503 diameter. Of course, all these projectiles are for a 25 caliber FX Panthera.

The essence of what I am looking for is the methodology of achieving a good tune for an FX Panthera. Step by step what do you do to achieve a good tune? Where do you start? How do you know when you have achieved a good tune? How do you determine what is a good FPS for a specific slug or pellet? How do I know when I am wasting air?

Please share your ideas and methods with the FX Panthera community.

New to the forum, looking for recipes

Good morning everyone,

I just found this forum and am looking forward to the wealth of information.

This year my sons want me to help them to start hunting squirrels and I am 100% behind them doing so. I need some good tying materials for my fishing.

I would like to use the meat without it going to waste, but I’m not sure my wife would go for these meals. Does anyone have any good recipes that you enjoy? Me and the boys are up for anything, but the wife can be a little skeptical of our game meals.

Thanks in advance,
Trout

RTI  RPB in a P1 Performance

I ordered a RPB barrel in 25 caliber for the RTI Arms shop back in November. It came it was delivered just before I was heading out for several weeks away so I did not get to install it until yesterday.
I did a quick bore cleaning and polish I installed it and the .25 pellet probe. loaded some JSB King Heavy 33.95 gr pellets and headed out to my backyard range.

I set up a target on my 50 yard backstop. The first shot was low. The second also low but right on top of the first. I made adjustments to my scope and the next 8 shots were all right on target. This without changaing anything from my tune for the .22 LR barrel that it replaced.

Next up were a few FX Hybrid slugs. POI was higher than the pellets, but again hole on hole.

Back to the JSBs. I shot 60 shots with amazing accuracy and consistency. I really was not expecting this one to outperform the 22 Lr, but it did. Very pleased with this new barrel.

Next I need to get out the Chronograph and do some actual testing and fine tuning, but it is raining here today, so that will have to wait.
I almost dont want to mess with the tune. It just seems near perfect where it is.

FWB  FWB 300 - What’s it Worth?

I have a friend who has a FWB 300 that he is selling and does not know a fair price to charge me for it. I believe it is the base model, i.e, the comb is not adjustable. It is in relatively good condition, considering its age. The wood does not have any cracks, large pressure marks, or scratches. The finish on the bottom of the forearm is thinning. The bluing is in good condition with minor freckling in a small area around rear sight dovetail. i have shot it rifle and it appears to be very accurate, itdoes not appear to have any mechanical problems. Is $550 a fair price? Thanks, Tom

Tuning  Converting Co2-Revolver to PCP

Hi guys,

I just wanted to show a little project I did over the holidays: converting a Co2-Revolver to HPA/PCP.

As base I used a Gamo PR-776 Co2 Revolver in .177 (it’s quite a standard revolver, you can find under many labels and names). It`s one of the „typical“ 100-bucks-Revolvers, so nothing too great.

As powersource I currently use approx. 1050 psi of pressure, coming from a 26cui regulated HPA-paintballtank.

That results in pretty consistent 295 fps with a variety of just +- 8fps (you always lose fps compared to using Co2). Also, the choice of pellets seems to make a big difference in fps and energy. 8 grain pellets go up to 310 fps. I actually use 7,87 grain pellets (the Gamo has a rifled barrel). I get like 2,2 joule / 1,6 ft/lbf of energy. As I am shooting on 10 yards in my basement, this is just right. Making pretty clean holes for a airgun, but not using much gas or putting too much pressure on the system.

I still need to adjust the sights (the Gamo shooting pretty high, so I need to work a bit on that, because I actually have to aim under the target, without having a single point to aim). Still I am pretty happy with the results so far, for testing (standing free, holding with both hands). The four pellets in the hole to the right are within 5/8”.

The gauge on the paintball tank didn’t go down noticeably, even though I was testing for more than 120 shots. I think u can easily do 1000+ shots with one filling of the tank to 3000 psi. Saving a lot of Co2 and money of course. If you are interested in a longtime review, just let me know.

Best regards form Europe

Skout Epoch butt hook

Butt hook for Skout Epoch.

I worked with Andy @NAIAD001 to get a decent butt piece for my Skout so that I could “get it off the bench” and shoot EFT. I sent the factory butt pad and mounting piece to him, and he did an excellent job. Perfect fit. It allows the same adjustments as the factory butt pad. I removed the wing extensions since I like a tight fit on my shoulder. Last photo shows the butt hook with wing extensions.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Great job Andy!!!

Air Venturi  My .22 Avenger build

So, I started building this rifle back in November. Posted pics and was going to shoot it next day on the chrono. I filled tank to 4100psi and during the night, the cheap chinese regulator blew a burst disk. So I ordered a Ninja high pressure reg from Hajimoto and decided to redo a few things while i waited on it. Heres the final version. I have only shot it to 50 yds thus far. At 2400psi on reg and 1 1/4 turns in on hammerspring it was chronoing at 52 fpe @ 840 fps with JSB 25.39 pellets. It shoots great. Ill post what i have now and then follow up with final results.Going out to the family farm tommorrow to see what she will do. I dont think i'll have any problem getting over 60 fpe from this rifle. I will post results. Its a .22 Avenger that i sent the barrel and action to Ailen Airguns. Wayne ported barrel, increased valve to 7mm and installed 8mm peek poppet. Installed heavy hammerspring and a light valve spring. He removed factory plenum ceiling and installed 25cc plenum. I installed an AESWEDE trigger and shortened carbon fiber shroud with his bottle bands. I installed 700cc carbon fiber bottle with a Ninja high pressure regulator, so the gun is dual regulated. The scope is a Monstrum G2 6-24 x 50 and the tripod is a Talon Tunes carbon fiber custom. The chasis is from Termidator which i painted to my liking and features a folding stock for easy hammerspring adjustment.

N/A  Delta Wolf or FX King

I'm going to be buying a new .25cal rifle this spring and have narrowed it down to these two. Not taking the cost difference into consideration....which one would you buy and why. I can make my own 35gr slugs so I do want to shoot slugs as well as pellets. The King I'm looking at is the 600mm version. I would use the gun to hunt with as well as shooting from the bench. When I mean hunting I'm referring to stationary set up, or walking around a farm. Not interested in shooting over 100 -150 yards. I can't use a moderator, so if one is quieter than the other, please comment on that.

N/A  AGT Or Taipan Or?

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while, working too much I guess. Anyway, I am looking to upgrade from my Avenger and I am starting my research. I've searched here on the forums, as well as Youtube.

Considering a AGT Uragan II, or a Taipan Veteran II. Not set on length yet either. Looking for real world feedback, and any other's in this price range that I should consider. It is my understanding that the Taipan's are very reliable with regard to air leaks, does the Uragan share that same trait? Looking forward to your suggestions and feedback.

Thanks in advance,

Vern

PCP FILL PROBLEM

I am trying to fill my new Hatsan Bullboss.
I am using an air compressor.
Hooked eveything up and filled the tank on the gun.
I shut the pump off at 20 bar which the guage on the gun showed at 20 also.
Opened the air release valve on the compressor to take the air hose off
but the tank on the gun emptied also. tried it twice.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks Jeff

Beeman  Beeman R1 rebuild

Hey guys,

After the success I had with rebuilding the FWB601 I wanted to look at rebuilding the Beeman R1 that I got in the sale as well. Was sitting at a local gun show with the rifle on the table with a price tag on it. Got a few looks and quite a few people talking about the FWB 601 and the R1. This got me to thinking about possibly rebuilding the R1 and seeing how it would be to actually shoot the rifle. Now mind you I am no spring shooter by any means but it would be fun to make sure everything is ok with the rifle. I have been shooting it off and on, and have been getting an average of just under 12 ftlb of power. To me that seems like plenty of power for a backyard spring gun, as well as a daily target shooter.

So my question to you guys..... how would one go about putting new internals in the rifle. And where would one even start to look at getting a quality kit for the rifle?


It shoots great as it is right now, and being the Santa Rosa rifle I guess it is a higher quality rifle?



Thanks in advance guys.


Thanks
