My new compressor will arrive shortly. This is my first dive into compressors.
Can anyone give me helpful hints on 1st things to check/do upon receiving it ?
Thanks

I like my .22 Cal. Marauder Gen 2 Synthetic Stock air rifle and I am trying to keep it as stock as possible. Recently my bolt just tougher to cock. I did search around and look into it. I took it apart, polished the bolt, polished the tube the hammer slides in, took all the edges off the groves the allen head cap screw slides in for cocking but I did not polish the allen head cap screw heads. Well it worked much better but 2 or 300 shots later it is getting worse again. I'm going to work on it again and finish the polishing job but I am wondering about lubrication.

I have read where you can burnish some dry moly into the area very sparingly and recommendations to not use any grease. I am wondering if spray lubes like WD-40 or Tri-flon would be suitable in that area. Seems like they dry and leave a very light coating of lubricant. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Barry

i was doing a sight chek on the bulldog for an upcoming stakeout at the chicken coop and found a golfball in the yard ... hmm interesting target, lets see what it does ... hit it at 35yds, it ricocheted off a pine tree and went careening across the yard about 50yds .. this is the result with a predator 81g pellet at 980 or so ..

Can anyone describe, in a simple manner, how a "HAMMERLESS" PCP funtions?
Perhaps a link to a animation of some sort ???
What exactly opens the airflow, momentarily, in a hammerless design?
Thanks in advance.

Prophet I Problem:
Loud POP!! and Pellets scattered out of the magazine ➠ What happened?


● Gun: .22cal Prophet I Compact Performance
● REG: 160bar
● Bottle: 260bar


I was just shooting a magazine of JSB 18.13gr from the bench (MV around 900fps).

➠ All of the sudden, when the shot broke:
There was a very loud POP!!! — right next to the ear!
There was a strong blast of air hitting the eye!
Most of the pellets in the magazine got scattered across the shooting table!

This happened one other time:
In addition, the o-ring of the magazine came off!

Also, at the shot it seems like there is air coming out of the trigger adjustment holes (or somewhere on the right side of the action).




This is dangerous!!
What in the world happened?
How can I fix this?




Thanks for any pointers you might have for me.

Purchased brand new in March 2023 Acecare Tank and Jubilee valve from best fittings.
Reason selling I just purchased compressor and have free access to paintball facility recharge.
Willing to offer to folks just getting into pcp air rifles 275.00 shipping extra.

My first day at range with 22Cal Delta wolf with new Ultra valve was amazing I hit a penny at 145 yard! I want use some slug with it too anyone have any suggestion about which slug
should be better?. Today I was using JSB 25,39gr. Compare to my 25 Cal FX m3 was a little loader, but I think more accurate.

Just testing some slugs and wow, these are some energy dumpers! 970 fps from the barrel, 20 FPE. 5mm penetration is 20% gel

I have a 4500psi Yong Heng compressor oil and water cooled works perfect 200$ only 4 months old I would prefer pick up in person but I could possibly ship it.. also have a o ring kit for it and a spare piston and gaskets and burst discs

ill try to keep this short...I still have more testing to do accuracy wise and what not, but here's the tune.



sorry the fps numbers are a bit hard to read, I did the chart on my phone and didn't realize my phone was in dark mode. I have spent so much time working on this gun to get a tune what would work and met my expectations on both shot count, and FPE, and here it is. the long and short of it is I have 2 O-Rings under my top-hat (the top-hat is adjusted to the optimal position relative to the bolt) with the power wheel set to 12 in the slot and 1 on the wheel. I have tried a ton of O-Ring combinations and until today non of them have worked out very well. I was working on a JSB hades tune when I decided to give the 25.39 gr pellets a try, I should mention this is a 22 caliber Airgorce TalonP with an 18inch barrel. the hades tune was about 28 FPE but the velocity was all over the place, I may end up picking up the top-hat kit if I want to tune for lighter pellets like the hades, but this tune right here...my goal is 50 yards and in, with the occasional 100 target plinking, and I think this tune will make that happen.

if any of y'all have any questions about how I did this, feel free to message me. I will share all the info I have accumulated over the past few weeks of working on this gun.

I was wondering which one is more popular out there and why ?

If cheap PCP China built guns are just as accurate as others worth 4 times the price, what are the advantages?

I'm in the market for a new top of the line PCP such as an FX, Brocock, Daystate etc. From my research, they're all built with top grade billet aluminum, smooth side action and are light well balanced units.

What is the catch, warranty? Availability of parts?

Any reason not to get a refurb rifle from them? One I’m interested in would around a 25% savings. I don’t mind as long as it operates as it should.

Nostalgically I was reading the GTA archives back in the day I started into this adventure and you quickly realize how little we had to chose from.
Today's insane, there's so much out there and such a variety makes your head spin and it's hard to keep up.

Tell you what, starting today in this adventure sire it's exciting for newcomers....Nuts !!!

It's been a while since I've had the chance to remove this many in a short amount of time. Killed the first 4 in less than 20 seconds and the last 2 I had to get a bit closer too since they hid in the mulch mounds they are burrowing in.

Like new FX Dynamic currently setup in 700mm .35cal but includes 600mm .25 parts ($300+ value), 480cc carbon fiber bottle & hardcase. I'm the original owner, purchased spring of '24 from UA. Only shot a few hundred rounds through it. Never had any issues. Shoots very consistently. Current tune with power wheel turned down to 10 is backyard friendly and pushes 91gn Zans about 800fps. Turn the wheel up and easily get up to 1000fps with the same lead. No modifications. 600mm .25 parts are NIB never been installed (will need liner).
Will ship to CONUS. Paypal FF preferred.

Asking $1800 shipped TYD. Save a ton of $ Tripod not included.
Optional parts include....

• Element optics Helix 6-24 FFP Scope W/ Eagle vision adj. Rings. Add $300
• Folding stock, buffer tube & grip. Add $100
• Saber Tactical Under bottle rail. Add $100
• 700cc cf bottle add $100

.....Or $2300 for everything listed.

I’ve been comparing the Springer vs the Pumper. A fair comparison to me is the Weihrauch HW30 and the Benjamin 392. Maybe the 397 (177 caliber) would be even better but the 392 (22 caliber) is the closest I have. My HW30 and 392 are equipped pretty much exactly the same. Both have a bit heavier SC Custom stock, Nikon scope and aluminum rings. The weight difference is 7 ounces. The HW30 being the heavier. The 30 is also a couple inches longer. The 30 sends a 7 grain pellet at a touch over 700fps or 7.62fpe while the 392 sends a 14.3 grain pellet at 740 fps or 17.39fpe. Accuracy is incredible with both however the HW30 with its wonderful trigger and a single stroke cocking cycle would certainly have the advantage for a 10 meter offhand league competition. When shooting further out for plinking, pesting or just long range shooting the 392 takes over. And the trigger on the 392 can be tuned to a crispy couple pounds. The cocking effort on the 392 to me is offset with the wonderful recoilless firing behavior. This actually makes the 392 much easier and forgiving to get accuracy in any position. Many have both. What’s your take?

Just got the DRS 500 and man it feels so unique in hand! I’ll have to see what I have in the way of compact scopes to complement it.

She’s barely used. Works great. Comes with everything it came with originally plus extra filters, switch, grease plug and an Igloo cooler to store everything. Power converter included. Selling because I have the gx el2 . Very well taken care of. $250 shipped CONUS PayPal f&f

Just getting back into air rifles. I shot mine using the chrony yesterday. I have the old style where you have to shoot over the chrony between the poles that holds the sunshades. Because I was shooting under the cover of a roof the chrony at the end of the bench a few feet from the muzzle would not record the shot. So I had to place the chrony about 5-7 yards into the range in the sunlight to get readings. When reporting velocity of the pellet the number provided by manufacturers, retailers and I assume owners is "muzzle" velocity. Question: Does the distance of 5-7 yards significantly impact the velocity number to be less than the number generally published by the above? I am not discussing different pellets producing different performance stats-just the chrony distance from the muzzle. Obviously if the chrony is 25 yards away the stats are the terminal velocity and you will probably have a "terminal" chrony at some point.

AOA has been selling a collection. Four were barely used 10 meter pistols. They still have a Walther listed. I can’t say no to anything built by Feinwerkbau that I can somehow afford. This one cost me 3 perfectly good airguns, sold in the last week just in time for the credit card bill. Built in 2004 its as close to NOS as possible, holds air and actually outshoots my favorite model 65.
