Drop in Reg Pressure over a string of shots

I’m bugging you guys once again from Patagonia, Argentina with a couple more issues on my Impact MK2.
I am getting a drop in reg pressure of about 10-13 Bar over a 50 shot string. I have a MK2 .25 with Power Block and 72 Power Plenum Upgrade, slug kit. Shooting 34 grain slugs at 945fps (targeted that speed because I found it to be most accurate). Reg is a Huma that I installed along with all the upgrades I stated earlier.
Fill the gun up to 250 Bar, 125 Bar on Reg, I get around 10 shots at around 950fps, the next 10-15 shots the Reg drops to about 120 Bar and velocites around 943 fps, the following shots reg drops to about 117Bar and velocity to around 937 or so while main reg is still around 180-200 Bar. The gun is super consistent but velocities and pressure drop consistently, no peaks or drops.
Reg seems to remain the same while gun is not in use, so it doesn’t seem to have any creep or droop while not in use.
Should I use a heavier hammer to open the valve a bit more or with a little more strength? (I have a thing with asking about hammers because I have no idea when to go heavier!).
I thought about polishing the standard reg that came with the gun and put it back on but I have a feeling its not the reg.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Lucas….again!

Do I have a rusted barrel?

It has been a while since I’ve cleaned my. 25.
It is a compact veteran. And it is stored in a climate controlled environment.
I ran a couple of patches through with some bore solvent, and everything looks somewhat normal. I had recently inquired on a different thread about motorheads cleaning process. So I decided to run a patch with JB bore paste.

Compare the top patches to the bottom patches. Am I looking at rust residue??

PCP Rifle  SOLD Taipan Veteran .25 Long Black Laminate

Taipan Veteran .25 Long in black laminate. I purchased it new from a well known vendor out west. It has just a few mags through it at this point. It was originally tuned for the JSB MK2 33.9 @ 905 fps. It has been re tuned for the JSB 26gr Hades at 880 fps with terrific results.
Includes the original box, spare O rings, single shot tray, 2 mags, QD fill probe, 4 stainless pins(2 large, 2 small), end cap, three 3d printed barrel mounted mag holders, a 3d printed barrel mounted probe holder, Magpul small rail section is mounted for a bipod on the forearm, and a HD 3d printed cocking lever extension.
Installed is a Donny FL 1/2 UNF shroud end cap. Also included is a DonnyFL Koi .25. The moderator was owned by another member and then came to me. It had some clipping on the internals previous to coming to me, however it works just fine. The Koi has a 1/2 UNF endcap as well. Its the same diameter as the Vet barrel shroud.
The only mark on the entire thing is a missing checker or two on the grip which I think came from the factory like that. Other than that the gun looks brand new.
I just never ended up using it.
Please check my feedback.
Asking $1000.00 shipped and insured.
PayPal F&F preferred.
PayPal Goods & Services accepted for an additional 3% of total.
Shipped CONUS.

Here's a strange one that i've often wondered about?

Looking back in an old dynamit nobel catalogue this little jewel looks interesting. I've never seen one in the wild or have ever heard of anyone having such a beast. Apparently you pump the cartridge up put a .22 pellet in and get up to 50 ft pds out of it. Did they ever even make it to production? Interested to see if anyone here has had one.

JSB packaging from Pyramid Air

I made a pellet order while PA had their 4th of July sale. The tins are a little different and there is scotch tape on them instead of the traditional tape that we are all familiar with, also the foam padding is different. Has any one seen this from other vendors? The pellets look OK although I haven’t shot any yet. Just wondering.

Hello neighbor

Hello @.20calguy

Howdy neighbor, thought I would share a couple of pictures of what I am cooking for lunch today. Just a little small pot of my Seafood Gumbo and as you can see, I built the Roux not quite to chocolate before adding it into the Gumbo. I used 1-1/2 pounds of Andouille sausage to season my cast iron skillet to make the Roux. Thought you would appreciate that, have a great day.

Barrel Polishing Question?

I have a .22 Avenger barrel that is very rough where the rifling begins at the breach. I did polish and recrown and pushed several pellets by hand, the first 2.5 inches of the rifling are rather tight as well. I polished with a bore mop and JB and put a lot of extra effort in the tight spot including using a drill (with mop).
I'm thinking of using the back end of a drill bit, grinding a taper and polishing like a recrown. I'm not to concerned about being tight at the breach but this sharp edge must go.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Painterman... aka David from Indy

ALWAYS. Take. A. Follow. Up.

Was getting milk for my baby and noticed a furry friend at the balcony for one. Ran upstairst and gently put my baby on the floor then gently pulled the trigger on the AEA SF in .30 in what would rank one of my all time best shot placements.

I usually do a double tap either to the body or the head just to be sure and expire the body faster but it as 6am and impact sounded like a gunshot lol. Saw him on the floor and knew he was DRT so I quickly closed the window and took care of my baby.

About 20 minutes later I went outside to clean and was shocked he wasn’t in the dirt but a good 3-4 feet away staining my yard with his blood. Luckily it washed away very easily but I’m really going to always follow up.. it wasn’t until I checked the footage that I realised how he got there.

There are some super zombie squirrels in my yard! A couple hours later I hit another one with a bad shot through the right hand, left arm, left leg. It ran off. I grabbed my BRK .22 and chased him to the corner of the fences and threaded a rock and fence post for another body shot. Put the pathfinder away and came back to get him with the fireplace tongs and it was still alive! Grabbed it and put it on a dirt pile and put 3 more into him at point blank before it stopped moving. The whole situation was a mess and I felt really bad. These squirrels are just tough mofos and anything except a perfect headshot just doesn’t get the job done.

Four, ten shot strings through Pathfinder XR

Please be mindful that these are simply my first shot strings out of this gun. So the numbers may change. I sent 10 Crosman Premier Hollowpoints at all three TP settings. And one string with JSB Exact Jumbo 18s, TP on high. I’ve done nothing to this gun, just unboxed, scoped it and started shooting.

Steyr info?

Got a chance at RMAC to check out the Steyr guns. Brian from Edgun West is involved as many know but they are on their own site separate from the Edguns. Had hoped to see more people share their experience with them as they seemed to have started or been in the mix when quality semi-auto airguns first hit the market. Some are very compact and seen perfect for a field gun. If you aren't familiar please check them out and if you have experience please share. I'm thinking I found my new WFT rifle for Worlds next year and possibly a new squirrel gun.

Two of the best higher power PCP pistols.

Veles - 1.jpeg


Figured I'd start with the airgun pic and then talk about them. I've posted about these before, but haven't used them in a while and just got to them again in the pistol rotation so I got excited.

These are the EdGun Veles in .177 (top) and .22. Both tuned with Huma regulators.
The .177 is shooting 10.34gr @ 700 fps (11.25 fpe)
The .22 is shooting 15.89gr @ 725 fpr (18.55 fpe)

Both are extremely quiet with the stock moderators for the power output. Both very accurate and capable of sub 1" groups out to ~45 yards in my backyard rested on a bag. About 20 shots each per fill (maybe more - I've never chrono'd them to off reg). Not a match trigger, but still very usable.

Finally got a Rainstorm

Hey all,

12 years ago, I decided I needed a nice air gun, and ended up building a Crosman 1322 with a bunch of custom parts. I consulted the experts on Gateway to Airguns forums. At that time I became aware of PCP airguns. In particular I remember seeing posts by a user knifemaker and @Nomadic Pirate 66 about Rainstorms. I think FX was not as big at that time, and side lever guns were not as common. I though, maybe some day, I’ll get a Rainstorm.

Well, numerous PCPs that I have bought and sold since, today is that day. I got a Rainstor5797BB21-5D97-4D66-95D8-B7CA50339ED2.jpegm in .30 cal that I purchased from @Nomadic Pirate 66. This one has been tuned by the late Will Piatt. I like the ergonomics, the balance is nice, the lever is smooth, and the trigger is very nice.

The 51 grain JSBs are supposed to arrive Wednesday. Looking forward to getting it zipping some lead over the chrono and seeing how it groups at 50 yards. It has been a while since I have played with a non regulated gun, so I am looking forward to getting geeky figuring out the power curve.

FX Panthera with drop-down front bottle adapter ST0060

Wanted to add more bottle volume to my Panthera but didn't like the look of the Panthera without the barrel guard. Saw Saber Tactical's Drop-down front bottle adapter and gave it a try. https://sabertacticalinc.com/products/fx-panthera-drop-down-adapter-st00xx. stainless steel electroplating was nice. Easy to install. Put a slim 300 bar 300cc bottle on the front for a total of 600cc. I didn't want anything too long like a 580 or a 700 cc because my Panthera is a 500. Maybe a 420 would be OK.

BSA R10 - "Buddy Bottle" broke off?

Purchased my BSA R10 (.177) in 2015. It started losing air about 2 years ago, but I wasn't shooting it much as I recently had bought my RAW HM1000x.
Filled it up and shot it a few times, but then the air would always leak out over time ....
Recently bought new o-ring re-seal kit and tried to fill it today. Couldn't even begin to hold air, so I finally decided it was time to take it apart.

Took off the stock and noticed the buddy bottle was loose, so I tried to unscrew it and lone behold ... it crumbled off the gun?
Apparently, the connection piece between the bottle/gun atrophied and the bottle crumbled off as I unscrewed it?

Hopefully, I can get the broken connecting part out of each ..... regulator section and bottle?

Anyone had this issue?

Must have been water in the bottle from the hand pumping days :unsure:

Does anyone make a carbon fiber bottle that fits OEM stock or am I forced to use the same buddy bottle set-up?

I'm being overrun by 10 or more raccoons each night

I'm new to this forum and I am not an avid marksman. I live in a 300 house subdivision near Detroit Michigan. I have put out a trail cam and have spotted several different families of raccoons using my side and back yard as major highway causing deep trails in my yard. I have purchased a dog proof trap but i need something to dispatch the coon once he's caught. Is there an economical air gun that people would recommend that is easy to conceal and comes with a moderator to keep the sound down. Our state allows the killing of raccoons all year round.

Thank you in advance.

HAH! I did it. Finally! The tale? Read on.

Hi AGN. I've been absent lately. I live a very mundane life so nothing new to write in about. BUT now,oh boy,lol. I bought a HW97K,22cal,,last year. Yea,,should have gotten the .177 but anyhow. She was gonna be a 25 yard bench queen. Well I did all the standard stuff when I got it. Cleaned it real good and shot it alot with fodder pellets to break it in. I got it a nice scope. A Discovery VT-2 / 10X44 SF. Sent it back before even mounting it because it would not focus. The guy complained but sent another 1. This focused until I had mounted it and when I tried to focus it,it would not move. I put the big wheel on it and that broke it. Never got off 1 shot. Needless to say that is the last Discovery product I will ever buy. Ate that loss and bought a Hawke AMX 10 X 44 IL SF scope. So I settled down to business. She shows a strong preference for H&N FTT 14 grain,head size 4.55. I was not getting the results I expected. I kinda figured the problem was at the trigger because it had this creeping 2nd stage that I just could'nt figure out. I did'nt know what to do about it. So I mentioned it here on AGN. Some1 said to adjust this 1 screw. It turned into a small ordeal,which is why I don't like doing these things anymore. BUT it helped,,it helped alot. The results took awhile. I changed my bench set-up and tweaked my hold & this and that. I was so close so many times. I now present to you the famously over used term. THE 1 HOLE 5 SHOT GROUP at 25 yards. YES!! May I remind the reader. This is a stock 22cal HW 97K.o_O

Yong Heng vs Tuxing Double Cylinder

Hi,

My Yong Heng is almost 4 years old and its dying. However I am looking at the Tuxing Double(twin) Cylinder just the standard model since I got all the filters already from my Yong Heng.

Does anyone know if the Double Cylinder model is more reliable then the Yong Heng for filling a 7 liter tank? Does it fill faster than a Yong Heng due the design? My Yong Heng served me well but it is so damn loud. I considered a dive compressor aswell but thats a bit out of my budget.

Talking about this model :

Tuning  R11(HW98) Piston Problem

I have a R11 that I bought new in 2005. I purchased it to use it as a "practice gun" as I was into powder burning bench rest competition at the time. Turns out it wasn't good for my intended purpose, so it has spend almost 20 years in my gun safe. Maybe has had 1 tin of JSB 8.44s shot through it. Currently it averages 761fps with the 8.44s.
Since I'm planning on shooting it a lot in the future, this morning I disassembled it to lubricate the spring and seal expecting to see lots of dried up grease but to my surprise it was in really good shape to have sat for almost 20 years.
Here's the problem.......where the cocking shoe rides on the piston there appears to be metal "crunched up" at the upper end.....see pictures.
It's appears to have been this way since new and it hasn't caused any operational problems that I have seen or felt.
If some of you experienced guys would take a look I would really appreciate it. Wondering if I could just "hammer" down the crinkled up metal so the cocking shoe could travel all the way up? Do I need to try to find another piston assembly?
Again, the gun cocks and shoots fine.
I did order a Vortek PG4 kit to install while I have the gun disassembled.
