Gents, my ancient Chrony Alpha seems to be on its last legs. What do you experts recommend as a replacement?

I'd prefer a free-standing one (i.e. not mounted on the barrel or whatever). I don't need it to be highly computer-fied, and don't wanna spend a fortune, but it needs to be able to compute the average velocity and standard deviation of a long-ish string of shots.

Thanks in advance...

I been searching hunting forums and this forum to see if anyone knows about hunting spots or secret spot to hunt like squirrels, birds or any invasive species in the Tampa area with an airsoft rifle. If you know of any spots I’d appreciate the info

I'm aware that I suck at search so bear with me or point me at the right direction.

I have a few questions regarding Alpha Wolfs
New 28" barrel that comes with the Performance model, is it a dedicated slug barrel or is it a pellet barrel or something in between or maybe there are two different barrels to choose from (one for slugs, one for pellets)?

As per Daystate website, Performance model comes with "improved Ultra Fast-Flow Valve", regular Alpha Wolf has Fast Flow valve and as an upgrade Ultra Firing Valve can be bought. What is the difference in those three and would regular Alpha Wolf (i really like the looks of Safari) benefit from this upgrade if I buy Ultra Firing Valve?

Latest downloadable firmware is 1.5 years old. What is the benefit of longer barrels and two newer versions of valves if firmware doesn't know how to use those benefits?
I know that I can buy DTD and create my own profiles but for that price tag Daystate should have done that for me and continue updating firmware at least every 6 months.

Are there any other changes between new Performance models and regular Alpha Wolf?
Like bigger plenum, different (more modern) electronics, barrel clamp preinstalled...

I would like .25 cal, are there any disadvantages compared to .22 cal?
I don't care much about shot count, accuracy is much more important to me and if one calibre would be less accurate than the other.

Thanks!
Walt

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post (new here).

Does anyone know if Archer Airguns has gone out of business? I ordered a Benjamin Discovery pressure gauge as mine had failed and I never got any tracking information, they don’t answer the phone and don’t respond to emails. The order says it was “shipped” but that was over a week ago and their website says delivery should be expected in 3-5 business days. It looks like their business is still active in New York but no word from them. Am I out of luck?

Thank you for any insights you can provide!

Take off GRS stock from FX Crown. Stock was damaged but professionally repaired. See pics.

Asking 125 shipped

Pellet shop by far. ill tell u they always get back to you rt away, when they don't answer answer your questions without an attitude give great advice. I have a guantlet 30 umarex my cousin double fed and jammed the mag I tried the dowel rod trick but no luck bin said bring it In. Luckily I live 30 mins away. Lou the tech came out of the back took the gun and bout 5 mins later here comes my gin good as new !!!! Did I mention they don't sell umarex .still did it and then didn't even charge me .like I said above and beyond for their customers big thanks to lou,bin and Maria at pellet shop .anyone else got 1 shop that trust the most ???

Machined this for my Maverick. Should work with the Impact, Crown, Wildcat, Drwamline. Very accurate with pellets and the heavier slugs that I've shot with it. Has an Ernest Rowe high flow brass inlet.

Comes with a DonnyFL Koi and the conical end cap (it's threaded to the barrel 1/2-20, but I designed for it). I've also run this barrel in my Maverick with a DonnyFL Ronin + extension and an Emperor using an FX air cylinder for clearance.

Terms:
- $270 shipped CONUS
- I also have titanium and stainless probes in .30 for the Maverick / Wildcat that I can sell separately.

The Kral Bighorn has a 580mm/22.8" barrel. The choke on the .25 is a touch tight but shoots pellets well anyway. I decided to make the shroud functional so my solution was remove most of that choke (Lost no speed after). Take a bad oversized .357 barrel end and re-thread both 1/2x20 (inside the .357 section on to the .25 barrel) to mate up, keep the overall factory length and then drill a vent hole through the .357 new end so it uses the shroud to both tension and hush it down.

I finally got to work on my NTM Hw77 Mk1 today. It was a little bit of bear getting the receiver apart. And a giant PITA getting it back together.

I did the usual clean out. I slugged the barrel and replaced the crumbly breech seal while it was completely apart.

I replaced the piston seal with a 25mm Vortek piece. Replaced the factory spring and guide with the newest Vortek delrin HO kit. This kit has alot more preload than I'm used to and I almost needed a spring compressor to get it back together. That was part of the PITA. The other part was getting the gun fully screwed together. This was the tightest one I've had yet.

This early 77 has no beartrap so that simplified things nicely.

The trigger group was all sorts of bent and crooked. I think someone tried using it for leverage to unscrew the receiver end. There was spots of rust and grease that looked like dryed varnish. Not impressed with the triggers condition I only did a quicky on it. I soaked it in degreaser, brushed out the hardened crud, rinsed it in hot water, dried it, lubed pivots with heavy oil and greased sears and contact points with moly. I adjusted the "forbidden screw" which was actually a red slotted screw like my R8. The degreaser ate the red paint off.

I put it all together and it shoots nicely. No twang. No felt recoil. No dieseling. The chronograph says 14.4 fpe but it feels like 10. Much better power than I expected from a 25mm Hw77. It's just a tick hotter than I tuned my 177 26mm Hw97 to.

I tried accuracy testing it but the new Sightron 3-9×32 rimfire didn't last 50 shots before the reticle rotated. I'll have to find another scope. Apparently I have time. We have evil weather coming for the next few days.

I'm looking for a better Rekord trigger group of anyone has one.

That's it for today.
Be well
Ron

**UPDATE**
Now this package includes the 480CC Carbon fiber bottle. Unfortunately, I don't have a degassing tool so I can't degas the tank CF tank so I'll just throw it in. However, I did utilize a spare o ring so there will be no more spare o rings. More than fair trade off.

600mm TJ (CrMoly steel) with a custom high flow 485 marine brass barrel inlet. This barrel is match grade. Had to buy 3-4 blanks before I hand selected this one for my personal collection. 14.02mm OD will work with the Impact, Maverick, Wildcat, Crown, etc.

Chambered / throated the lead in with a 2 deg live-piloted reamer that I had custom made by PTG for the TJ's .30 bore/groove. Shoots obscenely well with a variety of ammo. 1/2-20 thread on the muzzle, bore was lapped and polished over 3 separate sessions with a slight taper (a few ten thousandths of an inch). I'll include some high BC 62 grain Varmint Knockers with this one.

Terms: 399 + shipping CONUS. No lowballers. Price is as firm as the barrel.

Only saw short video on YouTube by a Czech guy had to subtitle in English- it struggled. But what impression I got was valving similar to Huben, but different, 2 safeties, auto load? Not sure what that was. Ballpark 60,000 CZD or about 2,500 U.S. Big number, if accurate, but you know quality is there. Hard value. I’m totally waiting for a detailed video for confirmation. But I’m amped for this one.

If money was no option (within reason - meaning not $10k) what are the best high end springer/nitro piston air guns? I’m not looking for an Olympic gun but rather a traditional or semi traditional rifle that would be good for a mix of target and hunting.

I purchased my first pcp which is a Ghost HP but I also want to have a really nice piston gun.

With these things in mind, what do you recommend?

This was a new one for me
Dropped in some AEA 50.5g pellets into an ultrasound cleaner for my normal process of cleaning/weighing/rolling and lubing the pellets
I examined the pellets before they went into the cleaner to see if there are any obvious defects
Used the same cleaning solution i have used in the past. I also tried a little Palmolive and water and got similar results
When i took out the pellets from the ultrasound, it looks like something corroded the surface ...the surface is very rough to the touch.
Not all the pellets reacted this way
Has anyone experienced this from cleaning a pellet?
Thanks
Mike

RAW - BOTTLE VALVE not holding air or not allowing the bottle to be filled?

Does the RAW bottle NOZZLE (INTERNAL VALVE) contain an O-ring that can be changed out?

I have switched the bottle to other guns and found the problem to be the bottle only.
External nozzle O-ring new, hence the problem is inside the nozzle.
There must be O-rings of some sort ..............

RAW sells a bottle neck for $35, but it only makes sense its leak can be fixed with an O-ring or something similar?

I have bought and sold a few FWB M65 pistols over the years. I used to rebuild them and shoot them till I wanted something else and then sell them. I have lost interest in them and haven’t had one in a while but have always kept a feel of the values by watching prices. During good times they fly off auction sites and don’t last on the classifieds. I won’t go into why but consumer sentiment is currently off and the 65s are stacked up like cordwood on EBay and are sitting in the classifieds. If nothing else they are more fun to look at than stock futures.

Hello Members,
I recently bought a pre owned Steyr LP 10. The issue I'm having is that when I try to shoot the gun with a palette inside, it does not shoot at all. There is only a muffled PUFFFT sound. If you have had this issue or know what possibly could make it fire again, please share your inputs.
Thank you very much.

While punching paper today I hear a mess of them behind the barn. Was able to get one but the rest popped smoke and didn’t come back

Hello, I have recently purchased an FX Panthera, but when I removed the Bottle all of the air escaped from the Rifle inlcuding the Plenum, is this normal behaviour or should the Plenum retain presure?
I have watched a number of Video's and all of them warn that although you have removed the Bottle the Plenum retain preasure.

Can I ask if all other Panthera's behave this way?

Thankyou

Richard
