A summer or two ago I asked if .20 was dead. It generated a lot of interest from shooters, though nothing from ammo manufacturers…
Anyway, I stumbled upon a nice older R1 in .20 around Christmas and that’s become my main rifle. The Blue Ribbon scope is smaller than I’m used to, but the clarity has allowed for longer shots than I’m used to. Really happy.
Then the other day I finally got lucky with a good price on my bucket list rifle, a Crow Magnum in .20 so I have to say…guess I’m all in on .20 now!
Luckily the R1 came with 12 tins of H&N

Bought a storage unit in Washington today, saw 3 SCBA tanks with micro hoses, and a few other items that lead me to bid. Digging through the unit I found 4 SCBE tanks, gauges, hoses, etc. I also found 2 magazines, a .22 synthetic stocked Marauder, and a few thousand pellets.

1. It still had 2200 PSI so it held pressure for who knows how long. (last mail in the unit I saw was 2017)
2. First magazine ran fine, did nothing but insert, chamber a pellet and fired 1 round. Worked fine.
3. Second magazine I tried to insert and there was a depression in the black plastic of a different size, it was thicker, and it would not fit into the magazine space.

The thicker magazine was the same design, held 8 shots. Didn't fit.


Any suggestions on where to get the proper magazines for this new "to me" rifle?

(And yes, it was a great unit for the price considering what I got.)





Thanks!

I bought this AC/DC JTS 4500 psi air compressor last year when I got my first pcp airgun. I’ve since bought a Daystate compressor and a tank and this is just sitting around gathering dust. I used it maybe a month. I have all the tools and replacement parts that came with it.

Yesterday was my new Katranas 2nd day on the job and it did not disappoint! Although a slow day for iguana removal, the Katran performed every step fo the way!

I removed a total of 29 with a total recovery of 20.

15 of the 20 were females, 2 had laid eggs and the remaining 13 carried a total of 482 eggs! Each bag contains 100 eggs except the first one on the left that's holding 82.

Most of these were recovered from one of my permissions surrounding a canal location where you normally don't see this many. And all these holes are their burrows, they can go as deep as 20ft and can interconnect like an ant colony, but not to the full extent.

I also managed to successfully recover a 21gr javelin slug from on of the iguanas.

I have two Yong Heng compressors, both gifted to me. One from my next door neighbor, and one from forum member Mike in Nashville. The one from my neighbor had been doing just fine until a recent session where I presume I overworked it, filling all my guns and topping off my 45 minute scba & a Airhog buddy. bottle It got up to 4000 psi filling my 45 minute scba tank, but no higher. The very next fill session it wouldn't budge over 2400 psi.
So I ordered parts, (from Amazon, coming from China) and turned to the unit Mike in Nashville gifted me. He told me up front that he had accidently run it w/o the water pump plugged in, but he did provide a new piston. I installed it even though I didn't have new gaskets. It ran fine for one session, but also wouldn't fill past 4000 psi. The next session it wouldn't build any pressure, so I ordered another gasket set.

In the meantime, I looked on e-bay and found a seller in California with gasket sets (including the second stage piston), so I ordered one. When it arrived, it came with TWO gasket sets and a complete piston! So I installed the new piston & gaskets set on the unit given to me by the neighbor. The piston fit very tight, and now it's locked up and won't pump at all.

So I finally dropped some coin on a new Yong Heng unit from Amazon, the one w/o the auto cut-off feature, and a 1.8 kilo watt motor. It looks just like the other two, with the exception of the oil fill cap - it is not the breather type oil cap, just a basic oil fill cap.

WISH ME LUCK!!!


EDIT: and I still can't spell

Having selflessly violated my New Years resolution (to simplify my life as much as possible) in order to give my shooters additional opportunities for Cajun Classic practice, I rearranged the (usually) engraved-in-stone TEXtreme monthly schedule by plugging an extra AAFTA-style weekend into the usual Bench-Rest Silhouette weekend date. Hopefully both rifle and pistol shooters benefitted from my resolution violation.

Rest assured any rumors I might have mentioned to my squad-mate in Fridays pistol match any nefarious intentions to (quote), “Give those Brocock guys a dose of humble pie”, or “Open a can of Sixties Crosman whoop-ass on those Brocock boys” is completely, utterly… TRUE! Thankfully Ol Faithful was ON; and so was I. Also thankfully, I made no such bold predictions about Saturdays rifle match!

Though only four shooters contested the sixty-shot pistol match, in my imagination it might as well have been sixty shooters! My 54/60 carried the day for Match Winner braggin’ rights; but of course I’m beyond braggin’. So I won’t mention cleaning 8 of the 10 lanes, being down only one point after eight lanes… or getting caught in the trap of my own making in Lane Nine’s new pop-up hunting blind with an abysmal 1/6! Ever heard the term “shoulda/woulda/coulda”? How about, “Wish I could get that lane back”?

Ol Faithful is a 1960s-vintage Crosman 187 Co2 rifle-to-regulated-HPA-tank pistol conversion of my own making, topped with a Japanese-made 4-12X Bushnell Trophy scope. She shoots 8.4 grain JSBs about 770 FPS.



Jim Clarke’s excellent 49/60 nabbed second place with his 4-16x50 Hawke Optics equipped .22 Brocock Atomic XR, shooting 14.43 grain pellets at 605 FPS. Great shooting, Jim.

Ten shooters contested Saturdays rifle match, some shooting a second score-card with pistols (on the rifle course). And as if shooting a pistol on a rifle course isn’t (Troyer) difficulty enough, extremely gusty winds to 40+ MPH created quite the improbable pistolero challenge. Derrick Wall took little notice.

Derrick’s 49/60 rifle score was good for the Match Winner hat pin and engraved TEXtreme Match Winner pellet tins. His .177 BSA GOLD Star wore a Sightron SIII scope, and shoots 13.43 grain JSBs 815 FPS. Fittingly enough, Derrick captured the set of three engraved TEXtreme Match Winner GOLD pellet tins, and black & GOLD Match Winner hat pin. Phenomenal shooting in those gale-force winds, DW!



Billy Davison wasn’t far behind in Second Place with a fine 47/60 score. Billy’s FX Crown was shooting 13.4 grain pellets 819 FPS, and was scoped with an Athlon Heras 6-25x50 scope. He nabbed a set of three Second Place TEXtreme pellet tins (of his own engraving). Excellent shooting, Billy.

David Turner’s 46/60 would have claimed the Third Place TEXtreme pellet tins; however I either failed to award them, or he left before I could. Regardless, I’ll put your name on them and award them belatedly, David. DT also shot 13.43 JSBs (at 800 FPS) in his Daystate Red Wolf, equipped with a Sightron SIII scope. Good shooting, David.

Armed with three good excuses to make the trip, PelletGage Jerry Cupples made the drive from North Carolina. Jerry not only shot Saturdays rifle match, but picked up his refurbished Sheridan Silver Streak by and from Jeff Cloud, and also accepted my invite to view the eclipse on the eclipse centerline at Ranchito Robinson. Jerry also donated two PelletGages for door prizes at Saturdays shooters meeting. Many thanks Jerry. We sure enjoyed having you join the fun, Buddy.

Many thanks also to Airguns Of Arizona for their primary sponsorship of TEXtreme Airgun Sports.

Per previous announcements of changes to TEXtreme’s 2024 first-quarter match(es) schedule, our May matches are changed to Extreme Rifle and Pistol Field Target, to allow shooters extra EFT competition to prepare for our June Extreme Field Target Grand Prix weekend. Taking place Friday, May 31 through Sunday, June 2, shooters will compete not only for the richest TEXtreme prize list of 2024, but also points in the 2024 Extreme Field Target Grand Prix national competition. More details will be forthcoming in a separate match announcement.

Happy Shooting Y’all,
Ron & Maggyy

Since i have been labelled an "FX hater" by some here for my at time negative comments on the M3 ...thought id post this ..

I shoot regularly in the evenings just before sunset to relax from a days work............plus the evenings usually produce excellent conditions for the Airgun ...ie no wind.

Just recently i machined up a new receiver block to intergrade with my 100% bonded ( Solid ) barrel assembly......it has helped tremendously in the POI issue i hate so much that the M3 suffers from.

So...... yeah i will openly criticise the M3...... but if i was a true "FX Hater" , i am sure i wouldn't shoot it as much and put so much into it !!

This evening...

I bought a GX pump modelGX-E-L3 at an auction. The other day appeared new in the box and it looked new in the box. It pumps air, but it will not build pressure . This is my first PCP style Aaron and pump. I know nothing about these things. Any suggestions?
I have taken out the pressure relief and cleaned anything and put it back together. Sprayed it down with soapy water everywhere to look for leaks so far, I found nothing.

The Pathfinder XR measures a carbine length 616mm with its folding stock deployed, and just 416mm with it retracted, resulting in a rifle that is incredibly fast onto the target and useful in tight situations. It weighs just 2.9kg (6.4lbs), and yet delivers over 200 shots. Offering superb accuracy at hunting ranges out to 40 meters and beyond, the Pathfinder XR’s slick sidelever action enables fast reloading from it's all metal magazine

SOLD TO ALLENH

Up for sale is an Air Arms TX200 Hunter Carbine in .177 with beech stock. It's a beautiful rifle and fits me like a glove. It has a Rowan Engineering TX200 Cocking Lever Grip in place of the stock part. I shot ten Crosman Premier Heavy 10.5 grain pellets over my chronograph and here are the results in order from first to last: 735, 728, 728, 722, 716, 718, 707, 719, 724, 712

I really hate to sell it but I don't have the time to shoot it as you can tell from all the other air rifles I have listed for sale. I bought these with the intent to put them through their paces and pick and keep my favorites. That didn't happen as my father became very ill and I was his primary caregiver.

So now I just plan to keep a handful that I cannot part with and I hope to find good homes for the rest.

I am looking to get $550 plus shipping and insurance via Paypal. Please add the Paypal fees if you would like to pay via good and services for your protection. I can also accept Zelle and USPS money order. Continental US only. Please no low ball offers as they will be ignored.

Thank you,

SOLD TO MEMBER JSPTECH

Up for sale is a Weihrauch HW97 Black Line STL .177 in a beech stock. The rifle came with a black synthetic stock that I did not like. I found a forum member that was looking for the synthetic stock for his woods hunting gun so we made an even trade.

I bought the rifle new and it hasn't been shot more than 50 times.

The rifle has an ARH tune kit installed and is a very sweet shooter. I will include the original spring in the sale of this rifle.

I sent my scope to them for warranty repair because it was fogging up. I returned it TWO MONTHS ago and they won’t return my emails or answer the phone. Does anyone know if they are out of business? Or had any experience with them?

Found out this week the landowner behind my home sold his property out to a builder. They came door to door and showed us the plans for the new home development that is going in. So I have now lost my backyard range which is why I bought my air rifle to begin with. I wanted to get back into shooting and I didn't want the hassle of packing everything up and traveling every time I wanted to pull the trigger. Like most people my job takes up a lot of my time, so convenience is everything. I have no intentions on moving at this time and If I ever do it will be because either my wife or I need to for career opportunities. I still have a place to shoot but when I go there I can use my powder burners so for me. It's a case of what's the point? So with all that said what should I look out for while selling the FX Impact M3 it is an expensive air rifle and a lot of money to lose if I screw it up. I probably will post it in the classifieds on this website and while I am off work, I would prefer to just hand deliver it then ship it through the mail as long as the buyer is within 500 miles of me.
So really the questions are.

1. What problems have you all had when selling
2. How do you spot the scammers
3. How hard was it to ship the rifle
4. What was the cost of shipping per different distances
5. How did you come up with the sale price of the rifle

Thanks in advance and no need to comment on what I could do to keep it I already decided it's not worth it for me.

this thread was made by mistake, and the initial question will not benefit anyone... Simple answer to a foolish mistake. I would delete this thread instead of editing, but I am not sure how to do that. I apologize for wasting anyone’s time who is reading this.

Hello all, I'm new to the group and have enjoyed learning from you. I've been shooting PCP since 2011 with the same 22 cal. Benjamin Marauder. I filled it with air from a used scuba tank and loaded it with JSB pellets. Never had to repair anything and really enjoyed it. I recently purchased a FX Impact M3 Compact in 25 cal. and a little compressor and between my son, son-in-law, and grandson we have put just over 1200 pellets through it. My little back yard range has targets at 50, 100, and 150 yards shooting out of a window in my wife's upstairs quilting studio. She granted us a space of 12x5 feet for our adventures with the only restrictions being the use of moderators on the rifles. The best news is all of the boys are now hooked on PCP and multiple rifles have been purchased by them. I guess they assume the air will be free.

So I've noticed a huge uptick in this particular species in my area. They get me sometimes thinking they're a grackle. The water drip call they make gives them away.

Anyhow, I had to look these up because they were never around here before a couple years ago, and their numbers are growing.

These are fair game to pop if they're a nuisance like grackles, right?

Some companies don't think before they put their branding into the market... maybe they are great, maybe not. Either way I have a hard time buying the "Rifle Destroyer"

I don't need any easily preventable problems...

I have a heavy hitting hammerli pneuma .22 caliber that I need to re-paint the stock due to removing a custom hydro dip, unless you would like to take that upon yourself, but I am willing to do it. Will make it the color you want with a matte or gloss seal coat. I will also spit shine this girl inside and out for you. NEED THIS GONE!
PACKAGE INCLUDES:
-Centerpoint Illuminated scope
-fill probe including quick disconnect
-two rotary magazines
-open tin of predator metal mag pellets





Notes: This Hammerli pneuma is the same as the at-44 but unsure of the fps. I lost the dust plug for the air cylinder a while ago. Moderately used, shoots hard, very good accuracy with predator metal mag pellets. The Quatro trigger is flawless and has a very very very crisp break after the first stage.

Would prefer a call: 570-267-8268

I know many of us shoot sparrows and starlings. When it comes to a bird feeder,any recommendations on which 1 you prefer? We all get the occasional pass through/miss that will strike the feeder. Do you like wood or metal feeders better for durability? Any links to 1 that has held up well?

Just curious those that have one what do you think of it ? Seems they are unavailable to import into the states. Largely out of stock seemingly since first shipment came in. The other odd thing is the few that are available are just sitting not selling. Makes me hesitant about them even though I love the looks.

A friend was facing issues of POI shift with his Impact.

Just like my own Impact I started the procedure of making a solid barrel out of FX original liner.

Following are some pics of the process that started from making the outer surface of liner a bit rough then wrapping thread around the liner, then applying a very hard and sturdy glue on the liner wrapped with thread. The threads gap filled with the hard glue.

After getting it hardened, sanded the surface of the hardened glue to the extent that it could enter the barrel housing that I have made out of high grade stainless steel.

The process is at this stage at this time.

The next step would be applying epoxy between the prepared liner and the stainless steel housing.

The last step would be to bring the Impact as close to free floating system as possible.
