I ended up seeing peskadot's tut for the synthetic R5M rail he installed and finally got around to attemping it. I think it's straight as I measured like 20 times but I have an Accu-Tac coming tomorrow so had to bite the bullet and attempt it.....do wish it had holes for standard picatinny rail sizes but it turned out ok.

I have a FX 400 regulated 22 caliber. I checked my velocity today and it is down 20fps from last April. Other than temp what can change the velocity? I really don't want to mess with the regulator unless I have to.

Vary happy with my night shooting set up. These 2 make 5 total. 52 yards with my Airforce condor ss 22 cal regulated, shooting JSB Exact Heavy 18.13 gr. at 950 fts. Just put the Odepro Light on it, really nice light. All head shots.

My neighbors have an unusal situation that they called on me for.
They are a bit older then me and not in good health so I do what I can to help them out. Like drag branches out of thier yard, trim the hedges, etc.
Today they asked me to get rid of a TP in the ceiling above thier living room. That's a very small space to move around in as it's maybe 3-4 foot at the highest spot.
Roof trusses on a 2 foot center, and a single 2X4 Cat walk! Plus it's got insulation layed up there.
I looked through the opening into the area and knew I needed Special Weapons and Tactics! So I put together my CQC Max Air .25
Barska Red Dot and UTG Flash light both with fresh batteries. The UTG has the remote switch so I'll only use that when I reach the AO at the far end of the space.
I'm loaded with the JSB MKII 33.95 and the semi auto function might just be handy!

The assault is planned for tommorow. I'll climb through a 2x2 opening into the space then start the careful walk down the 2X4 roughly 30 foot or so.
THIS should be a VERY interesting Hunt!
Does Mr. Panda survive? Or does the Sandman put him to sleep?
I'll let y'all know how it turns out tomorrow.

I recently purchased a Maverick vp .25 cal and was having difficulty tuning for 34gr JSB.

I was able to get and awesome JSB 25gr tune: 120/92 PW 7 IHS 7.5 turns clockwise (tightened) in from max giving an average 887fps ES of 4.1 and SD of 2.17.

The problem is that I could not, for the life of me, get the gun to shoot JSB 34gr. Tried a tone of veriatiobs. The one that would give me 880-890 was 160/130 PW 7 IHS at max. This was when I realized something was wrong. Called FX-USA and was told a few things:

The tech said you can identify which caliber hammer weight was in your gun by the length of the head/shoulder. .22 cal is 4mm, .25 cal is 6mm, and .30 cal is 8mm. He recommended measuring what was in my gun and order the others and just try them. Even though I have a .25 cal they put a .22 (4mm) hammer weight in my gun which is why I can’t hit the value hard enough to open for long enough to get the velocity I was looking for. FX-USA is sending me both the 6mm and 8mm for free under warranty. I will keep this thread updated with the results… hopefully I can correct the issue and get an awesome JSB 34gr tune to post here!

Like new, no ring marks, with all paper work and everything that it comes with in the factory box. 20 MOA Optisan mount already properly leveled and ready to plop on your gun with two screws.

Here are the extra pics, as promised.

Stopped in to tsc to pic up some chicken food and they are running a clearance on the cp 7.4gr hunting pellets in the 1250 milk carton for $9.50.
Picked up five as i have a couple of outfits that shoot them well.

Just curious if there is any money at doing pest control with an PCP Air gun. I've seen lots of videos where a PCP seems to be the preferred tool to do pest control especially in high infested areas. Anyone know how much money these services make. Is it a per pest cost or is it an hourly thing? If hourly what rates do you charge?

I'm pretty much talking about rat infestations.

I have a used but in excellent shape Saber Tactical Chassis for a mk2 Crown and would like to trade for a GRS stock for a crown I can add if needed lol. Also a grip is included but was not pictured (any color normal wear/usage marks are ok ) .


P M me if interested in trading please, And have a great day! Thank you ! for your time.

Athlon Helos 6-24-56 BTR Gen 2 MOA with Athlon Cantilever 20 moa 30mm mount like new bought Dec 2022 I do not have the box but I did find the factory manual. (I know I like boxes too and for that reason will always mount my own scopes in the future). Not a scratch or mark on it never been in the field or outside for that matter. This scope is just way more than what I need both power and weight for my newly acquired Wildcat field gun.

I am wanting to sell for $500 Shipped payment through Paypal fees included (No Friends for both of our protection) or trade for Athlon Midas 4-14-44 or 50 MOA or equivalent.
Plus or minus cash with or without mount.

I will also sell FTF $400 firm on scope $50 on mount.
Trade for a Guppy 100 cu in set up

Scope will be bubble wrapped and double boxed for shipping.

LOVE THIS GUN!
I do not want to sell this gun and do not HAVE to.....but in a financial bind and the money would help.


Comes with case, DonnyFL/FX .30 moderator, .22 barrel kit (currently installed), .22 0DB moderator, Hawke 6x24x50 scope (model 13321, look up that number on Hawke's website for full details on the glass), and 4 side shot magazines (two in .22, two in .30)

At .30 caliber....... Power settings were pushing the JSB Hades at about 905fps and it's glorious!
Haven't really done much testing in .22 yet (though that barrel is currently installed).

This is stock. I've not done anything to this other than shoot and I LOVE IT. Best air rifle FX makes if you ask me. And I had an Impact M3 and didn't really care for it that much.

Retail Prices:
FX Wildcat MK3: $1,500
Hawke 6x24x50: $560
Barrel Kit: $350
FX/DonnyFL: $100
0DB: $130
(2): .22 FX magazines ($50/each)
(2): .30 FX magazines ($50/each)

I have a question, I am just about ready to order a Air Arms pcp.
My question is about moisture when filling.
It seems like everything except air tanks filled at a scuba shop can hold moisture.
Is moisture a major concern to use a hand pump or cheap compressor to fill your pcp"s.
If I spend $1600 on a PCP, I do not want to screw it up.
Does moisture kill the inside of a chamber or am I thinking to much into this?
Please share your wisdom.

Excellent condition. Hard to find any marks on this gun. Sift touch cheek piece. Don’t have the original. Regulator at 120bar. Tuned to shoot JSB Monster Redesigned 13.43 gr and FX 13.4 grain at PW#4. Ton of shots, even with the heavier pellets. Shoot both pretty equally well but I think the Monster Redesigns have a slight edge. A mostly full tin (what is left) will be included. Stud shaker and two speed loaders included. Gun holds air and shoots well with no issues.

Like new, Element Optics Helix 4-16-44 FFP MIL APR1C, clean reticle. Optisan 20MOA one piece mount is included. If the gun buyer does not want the scope and mount, only then well I sell it separately. I will not sell the scope before the gun. The gun purchaser has first dibs on the scope and mount. Everything in the box from the factory.

$1600 TYD sighted in and shoot-ready with the scope.
$1200 gun only TYD. SOLD

***Scope and mount is still available for $400***

I’m paying shipping so my prices are firm. it costs darn near $100 to ship guns nowadays with insurance.

I started my airgun journey this winter which is fairly recent. I had fallen down the rabbit hole as people say. My collection has grown from none in December to now seven in April. Because of this I had to create a storage solution. I made this gun rack to hold the Airguns I really like. It really frees up some table space in my little makeshift workshop(frees up space for new Airguns in the future). I know the pine board might be a little ugly but it’s what I had sitting around. I thought soaking in some teak oil would help. I think it makes it look a little better.

So there are a couple videos out of a much shorter compact version of the panthera they seem to be calling the hunter. A couple months ago they said it was going to be available in a week or so. I’m typical FX fashion, I haven’t heard any more about it.
Has anyone heard any more about this setup? With its compact nature, and the new magic juice in the panthera block, not to mention the plenum around the barrel making for a sturdier barrel system. it’s something I can see myself getting behind as long as the price isn’t crazy.

I picked up an FX Impact M3 (700mm barrel) in .22 a few weeks ago. My first airgun... and I am enjoying it immensely.

I currently shoot centerfire short-range benchrest (Score) and am contemplating giving 100-yard airgun benchrest a try. .30 Cal is the obvious choice in that discipline, at that distance (although I'm aware that Dusty Powers turned that accepted wisdom on its head when he won last year's RMAC using a .22). With that in mind - and since FX makes changing calibers easy to do without a lot of cost - can I ask what difference, if any, going from .22 to .30 would mean in terms of noise?

One of the really beguiling things I'm finding with regard to airguns is not having to wear hearing protection.

There's no need to shop for springers on Krale anymore except that they ship overnight. The HW97K has gone up $110 since I last bought it. You can get Weihrauch springers at AoA for similar prices.

1 box has been opened but nothing missing. $80.00 shipped. Paypal F&F , CONUSA

We often see, mostly on YOUTUBE these guys selling or promoting a PCP gun and have their reserve air tank connected to their rifles. I can never tell if the tank valve is always open or off just so they don't have to disconnect to fill the guns tank.

Not that it matters either way but if I have my big reserve tank at 4000 psi I would think that they only have the umbilical cord connected just to save them time from dis or connecting the air line.

I've noticed that some or most of my rifles stop filling once the pressure hits around 3k. But there's all these warnings to NEVER over fill.

Nothing here about this post that means much, just something that makes me wonder. To me, it would seem like the air hose would get in the way more than be a benefit.

Where are the AGN shotgun hunters? The hunting forum is full of pesters of pesky rodents and invasive species birds. Then there are the deer, squirrel, and rabbit hunters and a few turkey hunters. But where are the quail, grouse, pheasant, duck, and geese hunters?

Below are some interesting links on the topic. These links showcase a few air powered shotguns and their capabilities.

I’ll add more links as I come across them. It doesn’t seem that the air powered shotgun gets much love here. Since this is Airgun Nation, let’s do something about that. I don’t know much about air powered shotguns, but I’ve been curious about them for a little while now. I don’t expect them to put out 12 gauge PB power, but I think they have their place in small game and avian hunting. Here is where I want to see what’s going on. If you have experience hunting small game and especially fowl with air powered shotguns, let’s hear about it. In fact let’s see some photos.

Said gun was not in good condition but pictures look Ok to me. Seems the seller does not know much about this air gun. Current bid was $100 and less than 24 hours to go to end of bidding. Did not say if it held air. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/983229132

I decided to start a new thread even though there are a couple going already. This one is for those of us planning to attend and bringing stuff for sale/trade.

So what do you have and what are you looking for?

I’ll start:
For sale/trade
Daisy 117 in the box
AA T200 .177 with two tanks (one reg’d)
Quackenbush Brigand .375

I’m looking for:
P-Rod
1720t

Mods - I’m not trying to circumvent the classifieds. These are items that I’m taking to the show and not for sale here (yet?)

Wore out all my china compressors & been back to using the once trusty SHOEBOX F10
It stopped pumping last week so figured time for a rebuild of pistons.

new 90d buna check valve o-rings both cylinders, 2 each 90d poly on each pump rod .... What the heck !!!
It only SLOWLY makes @ 2100 psi and just stops pumping any higher.

Pump rods adjusted to stop against the check valves w/o opening them by contact.

No audible air leaks or bubbles from soapy water at all fittings etc ...

What am i missing ???


HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
