I am wanting to know about steroid pumpers.
What exactly is a steroid? Is anyone still doing this? What does it involve? How much does it cost? What are the benefits? What are the negative trade offs? How do you know for certain a gun is steroid when advertised as being one? What is an indicator? Is it worth the expense? Should any off-the-shelf gun be a good candidate for a steroid? How can I know if my used gun is a steroid? Any other questions are welcome.
All and any knowledge of these questions will be appreciated.

I left my HW30 cocked and loaded for about three months. Speed was down to 530 when I ran it over the chronograph. I had a Vortek Steel kit PG4 for the rifle and installed it this weekend with the VAC seal. No issues with the install, everything went smoothly.

I ran it across the chronograph with H&N FTT 8.64's and was only able to get 580 fps for about 6.5 fpe. Vortek's website says the kit is good for 7 to 9.5 fpe with the VAC seal installed.

I cleaned the inside out and used a small amount of the grease included with the kit. I applied a small amount on the outside of the VAC seal and spring as instructed. Was a simple install with no drama. However it is slower than I expected.

Any recommendations on how to get it a bit hotter? What did I do wrong for it to be so slow? I have shot about a hundred pellets through it and no changes to velocity.

I am wondering what tuning secret I am missing.

Thanks in advance!

good morning all
I'm looking to see if anyone has owned the pin probe the fx makes in the power slug kit?
i would like just the probe if possible or if anyone knows who makes a probe similar that just the pin is adjustable
not the entire probe, i seen the one on Utah but it's useless as the whole probe moves not just the pin
thanks for any info.

My wife and I are thinning down our collection, so please check out our other listings. We do not have much left to sell before we are done.

The Type-B4-2 had a very short history.

It was intended to replace the Type-B3 SKS training rifle by replacing the SKS sight picture with an AK-47 sight picture.

Despite the change, the Type-B4-2 retained its SKS-like stock, which meant it still handled like an SKS/Type-B3.

As a result, Chinese companies quickly introduced models like the BAM B3, which closely copied the AK-47's wood furniture design. These models even included the correct pistol grip and folding stock.

This effectively ended the Type-B4-2's involvement in military training, and resulted in a massive sale off on the commercial market in the 1970s and 1980s. This particular Type-B4 was sold by Hercules.

You will notice that this example comes equipped with a scope mount bracketed around the receiver. This scope mount is original to the rifle. It was added by the Chinese in a last minute effort to appeal to American consumers, who at the time, were not particularly familiar with the AK-47 sight picture.

You have to remember, these came into the United States during the Cold War, before any of this stuff was cool.

This rifle functions, groups extremely well, and all the seals are good. It comes with a premium leather sling, marked with Chinese writing and characters.

There are no cracks in the stock but the shellac finish is chipping off in a few spots. I thought about refinishing it, but it can only be original once, so I left it alone. Once it is yours, you may do with it whatever you please.

Have a new club shooter... Field Target but he will be new to Airguns in general AND PCP's. He's always been a open carry guy so... gun ownership is not an issue.
Anyway, i had an opportunity to show and tell some various airguns to him this weekend and offer him an intro package. His brother already shoots Field Target using a custom Marauder. A nice Marauder with a field target stock is a great first choice and of course a nice Hawke scope also helps to make for a more pleasant starting point. This particular Marauder shoots very well see 25 yard sight in card 10 shots.

Here is a pretty basic breakdown of what a low cost field target package might look like; please note i do not have a customized mag side wheel on this yet but that usually adds about $160.00 unless you know how to 3D print one yourself. The retail as pictured was right about $1711.00 no wheel. 50% of that or $750.00 used seems spot on.
Your thoughts?

New kid on the block with insane powers and yet not a monster. 59 ft/ibs in .177cal. It here pelletshooting no longer make sence. Its heavy slugs only.

.22 or .25 only, any stock.

This just sold on GB https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1085680256

Went for $465 which seems like a pretty good deal. I have not kept up with the springer pistol market, more a fan of the SSP’s. What do you guys think? Original? Everything there?

Does anyone know what size o'ing is used on the probe?

Digging further and further into this deep rabbit hole of airgun theory, I was wondering what the more experienced airgunners think about barrel length.
My (very limited) understanding is that longer lengths help with air usage (less pressure needed to achieve a given velocity), and help push heavy projectiles at faster velocity (there is a longer runway for the projectile). BUT, this doesn't mean more accuracy, since a longer barrel is also more susceptible to whip.
Is the above correct? If so, how does one balance the pros and cons of the longer barrels?

I have a swarm magnum gen 3 and it has killed every scope I've put on it. 4 to be exact. So I'm going to make the jump to pcp air guns. I got on the classifieds section to look for a good used one but have to have posted 10 times and had 10 days of activity. So here's my 1st post. Seems like a great resource for information.

Looking at getting an avenge x but have read that a lot of people have problems with POI because the barrel band affixes the barrel to the tank. What's everyone's advice for fixing this problem? Or just spend the extra $1000 and get a quality air gun.

I live in gun-hating Colorado. The legislature here is constantly imposing new restrictions on smokeless pistols and rifles, along with ammunition. Was wondering if any you are seeing your local elected reps starting to pass restrictive rules and regulations on the use of air rifles and ammunition?

Looking for opinion on a good scope with lighted reticle that lights up real good in day time

Was middle 70s here in Michigan yesterday
Critters were out but only got one decent shot on a tree rat! 39 yards rested on a tree. Shooting single die Benjamin domes in 14.3 grain .One spot sitting in a big log jam just off the river bank I must have shot half dozen chipmunks but wasn't worth digging them out. Lol
