Now I've got rid of my hw77k I don't see a point in having 2 air rifles. I just want 1 that il keep. Only one that interests me is the .22 pro sport or a .20 hw97k.

I just shoot pests in my garden. 99% of the time il be shooting 10 to 30 yards.

A pro sport would cost me £950 and a hw97k in .20 will cost £700. The waiting time for the .20 weihrauch will take over 30+ weeks so I won't have it for 5+ months.

"The current lead time from Hull Cartridge and the Weihrauch factory for special order items such as anything laminate or anything in .20cal is 40 weeks!

I recently read a thread where @Vetmx made a peek valve seat or maybe it was a regulator piston seat. Anyhow, I’m interested in learning how to do this. Can those of you who have done it, explain the process or point me towards a good resource to learn how to make these parts? Please share materials and equipment used to do so. I’d appreciate it.

Caveat: I’m not a machinist, but would like to learn to make a few simple things.

I have no idea where to start with this, but would like recommendations for a 3D printer. At first, I want to make moderators and adapters for the 2 working airguns I have, but I don't want to be limited. I am sure once I have a 3D printer, I will find many more things to make/"print". If I live long enough, who knows what I might want to try. (smile)

Price is not necessarily an object (anymore), but I don't want to spend more than necessary to have a good 3D printer. Yeah, I know... (chuckle)

Anyway, since this is the ONLY forum I am active on, I thought I would ask. (smile)

Thanks!

Hi. As soon as the weather gets warmer ill start do set up a range home. I have 2 options one that that can reach 150m but Will require shooting the 50 and 100m targets at a downward angle.
And a straight 200m range over a field, but at one point in the summer there Will be cows in the forest 100m behind my 200m target, so im abit sceptical to that one.
But what size targets shoud i get to put on 50, 100, 150 and 200m? I know People talk about moa, but I ha e trouble with translating it over to cm ? What is a respectable/reasonable size target to hit at those range? Will be shooting .25cal M3.

Another little tidbit that I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but the Notos Fill Probe fits the Huben K1/GK1 and vice versa! Are we finally getting closer to an industry standard, or is it just a fluke!

Just picked up a new .25 Impact M3 from Utah Airgun’s. Love it, fun too haha….

I’ve ran a tin or two now through my .25 FX Impact M3 (JSB 26.54 Pellets). Accuracy is great up to 125yds. Question is, I got the FX Hybrid 26 grain slugs and plan on trying those for further distance 150-175ish. I do not want to switch out to a heavy liner due to the fact I want to run pellets through it most of the time. So the heavier long distance slugs aren’t really an option. Who here has experience with the Hybrid 26 grain and is it a consistent slug? Also, what FPS seemed to work best? Is there a better light grain slug that works with the std liner 28-30grain maybe? Thanks in advance

I am confused about the pricing on Huben's website for the GK1. So they sell the regulated GK1 V3R for $1899 (price dropped $100 this week). The original GK1 V1 is $2199. Those prices are both for the suppressed options with the adapter. I look at the specs and I do not see why. They both have the same power and specs. I saw the GK1 V1 for sale on another site for $1299, I dont know how legit that site is so I wont link it. I assumed the V1 would be getting phased out and thats why I saw it on sale.

I am assuming its a pricing mistake, but I figured I would ask here.

Got to thinking about my life with airguns.
Started around 1962 with a BB gun; a year later I had a Benjamin pumper, year later I had a Sheridan Blue Streak… didn’t know squat about FPS or POA or POI or holdover or holdunder…. Iron sights rocked my world and the chipmunks world. Every trash can was full of targets…no can was safe from my aim. Some days me and my brother would set out two cans and play a game with the objective of seeing who could shoot their can into a designated goal first. But life happens and work and family and Airguns were lost to me until a feral dog pack attacked my favorite dog in Hawaii. Animal control was no help so I decided I needed an airgun again at age 27. Thanks to the internet I discovered Beeman and bought myself an R1 magnum springer… with only iron sights I eliminated the pack that had been terrorizing our neighborhood pets within a month…if you think coyotes are nasty, feral dogs are worse for several reasons including a total lack of fear of humans.
My R1 stayed in Hawaii and I didn’t own an airgun again for 25? Years until 3-4 years ago when coyotes got my cat and this time I discovered PCP’s!
I started with a Gamo Swarm, then a Talon .25 pistol and then a FX .30 Crown. I bought an old Bauer compressor to keep my elbows from blowing out - no more pumping for me!
Then I discovered Airgun online Forums and One thing led to another and I began sampling everything airgun related.. Edguns Leyla,
FX Maverick, FX Dreamlines, FX M3 impact and another Crown in a
GRS stock and then I discovered Steyr and I bought two different caliber Hunting 5SA’s then a Steyr ProX10 and Steyr’s LP50 pistol.
I bought an American Arms .30 Evol. Damn what a punch!

I hadn’t discovered Field Target YET but I was having a blast selling one gun to buy the next best better bestest gun.

I Tried a Beeman R7 and R9 along the way and bought a Weihrauch Magnum that was so beastly I couldn’t cock it.
I even tried the .25 Sidewinder with its full auto mode … meh…
That’s when I learned about “Tuners” and the magic a talented tuner could do with airguns.

Soon all my FX toys were replaced with Weihrauch’s - the HW 100 the HW 110 and the HW44 pistol….
BSA Goldstars were next followed by RAWs .25 and .30 beasts and a couple of TM1000's it was fun trying different configurations like chassis form. Lucky me, I even found a Thomas bench rest model with a NOTA BR rest to boot.

Bear in mind that for the most part I’m selling airguns on AGN as quick as I was buying them on AGN and if i wasn't sure about the reliability or accuracy of something I'd send it off for a tune.

It was a tuner that introduced me to Field Target @Kerndtc. My first HFT gun was a Daystate .20 huntsman classic. I soon added two custom built Benjamin Marauders to the mix.

WOWZA! HFT and it's people are too much fun!

I immediately bought what i thought were next level field target guns; a Steyr LG110 and a AZ modified LG 100.
When I discovered pistol field target was a "thing" at Cajun Classics in 2022, I bought a customized Crossman 1720T.
Eventually the simplicity of Daystate’s Huntsman platform lead me to buy a Daystate Revere which was a great shooter, so good that I decided I’d upgrade my mechanical game to Daystates Wolverine platform @zx10wall.

It was Daystate's reliability and 5 year warranty that inspired me Onward to try the state of the art electronic air game. The Redwolf and Alphawolf were Too much fun! So much fun I even gave the Skout Epoch a go.

Then it was back to simplicity and springers, but properly tuned springers this time, so I found an Air Arms TX200 and Weihrauch’s HW97. They shoot sooo sweet.

You’d think I’d be done at this point but Brocock double dared me with a Commander XR @ThomasT and then they came out with the Ghost !

As of this year I’ve settled into a reasonable relationship with my favorite HFT airguns… Brocock’s Ghost in .177 and .25 satisfy my HFT and EFT itch augmentated by Brococks Wolverines in .177 and .25 as my HFT and EFT backups.
As of last week My .20 RAW TM1000 HFT pistol replaced my long gone Crossman 1720T and the RAW in .20 is a sweet sweet shooter.

I also am completely amazed by a custom built Crossman HFT Challenger! @Airgun-Revisions !

I’m still buying, but only special finds like the USFT MAC1 and an Olympic style Anschutz 8002 and I’ve currently got my eyes on an American Arms Paradigm but only if they make a .177…. Yeah I know

No matter how good a airgun is, a great tuner can make it better!!! @Kerndtc @Motorhead @zx10wall @Airgun-Revisions

Scopes?????

You don’t want to know

I'm going to be changing my 600mm barrel to a 380mm one and was wondering if there was a recommended torque setting for the 4 screws that secure the barrel. I was thinking around 15 inch pounds per screw, but thought I would ask.

I have decided to sell my Benjamin Marauder. It has a Huma regulator installed along with a Tim Hill valve. It shoots JSB 25.39 very well and JSB 33.95 even better. It will come with the following extras:

3-magazines
Degassing tool
Extra heavy (18 lb hammer spring-for max power) (new and not installed)
Heavy hammer spring (12 lb) (new and not installed)
Airguns of Arizona hammer denounce device (new and not installed)
Extra Captain O-ring, o-rings
Regulator o-ring replacements

It had a complete o-ring replacement a little over a year ago and held air for many months but when I took it out of the case to take pictures it had bled off to zero.

I would like to get $425 plus shipping. If interested, message me and I'll get a shipping fee.

I will take PayPal, Venmo or money order

Thank you for looking!

When I received my Delta Wolf three weeks ago I raised the regulator to 178 bar.

Now, without doing anything, it is in 165 bar.

Do Regulators have a settle period in which they may suffer changes?

I would appreciate your feedback.

Here's a bunch of 25 yard five shot targets from my Hw30 laminate. First two rows were 4.51 FTTs. Started rough because the gun was last shooting JSBs. It cleaned up pretty good. The third row is 4.52 FTTs. The last group might be a personal best for any airgun. It's easily under MOA. Not bad for a BB gun
Thanks for letting me gloat. I'm just having fun now that the weather is good. I'll go now.


Top left is ten shots to rezero the rifle to the FTTs

Why is it so costly? Is there a cheap hook up for it? Is there another product that will mimic the performance with less cost? General use, making spring guides and other airgun parts?

Along time I have bought many PCP's and I keep many more of what I need.

I like Daystate's.

I like AGT's

I like my FX Panthera.

I keep three Evanix.

My Brocock Bantam Sniper is really comfortable.

But if I would have to spend money in just one PCP, of all I have shot, my choice would be the BRK Ghost .30 Cal and I would buy a kit of .25 Cal also.

I am of the idea that the Delta is better than the Ghost, but mechanical rifles have less risk than electronic ones.
I do not want to say that the Ghost is "better" than the beauty and control of the Wolverine's, or the accuracy with pellets and slugs oft the Vulcan 3 and/or Uragan 2, or the perfection of the Red a and Delta Wolf..... But the possibility of changing calibers of the Ghost doubtless is something that can make you save money without compromising accuracy and performance.

This is what I think up to now.

What are some of the rarer production airguns? How many?

Falke 90, 200?
FWB 110, 180
Anschutz LG54, a few?
Gold or chrome plated Beeman, a few?
Walther LP52, none, or a few?
FWB 200, none
FWB "JNC", a few or a small number?
FWB 127, small number?
FWB 300S RT, small number?
Weihrauch HW55 (F), small number?

Others you know about?

Yesterday I was having fun plinking offhand with this Hw30 at spinners and cans at 50 and 70 yards the other day. Today I needed to rezero the gun at a more practical 25 yards. Top left was zeroing shots the rest are five shot groups from a table. Pretty happy with these groups with old eyes and peeps.

Good day! From what I can gather the vulcan 3 .30 has a barrel diameter of .3063. I know avs makes slugs that are specifically suited for this barrel. I am wondering if anyone has tried the zan 61gr .303 slugs in their vulcan 3 .30 and if so how did they group?

óla a todos , tenho uma fx impact m3 , comprei-a com um cano de 60 cm , recentemente comprei um cano de 70 cm , a partir daqui a arma baixa a velocidade.. configurei-a para 304m/s e dias depois ela fica nos 270m/s , alguém tem ideia do que possa estar a acontecer ? :sorrateiro:

Do you like the wood stock on the hw97k or the laminate? I dont see a walnut option for the hw97k it just says sporter wood option so I'm guessing they only sell a beech type wood which I don't like.

What do you guys prefer?

I'm selling a home in Simsbury ct. (mom Passed away) and i'm selling some of my collection. Just want to know best, and simplest way.

Hi Folks,
So I used to have a 48, which I owned for many years and loved very much. I had to sell it a few years ago, not by choice, and I’ve wanted another ever since.
So I put an add onto my local air rifle forum (much smaller then this one) asking if anyone wanted to sell a second hand 54 or even better, a 56TH the Rolls Royce of Diana’s, because if your going to go, go big right?

I wasn’t expecting to find a 56TH, but was hoping I might find a second hand 54.
Well, an old model 54 came to light. I hummed and haard and eventually decided to buy it, although it was a bit more then I wanted to pay. I’m still waiting to take delivery if it.

And now…. Another member has contacted me saying he has a 56TH that he’s willing to sell…
Oh what to do…

The old model 54 I’ve just bought.


The 56TH that’s now avalible

Oh what to do…???
