I am legally blind, my right eye has been removed, my left eye has a nickel sized spot of undnaged retina, enough that I can’t see a full profile semi coming at me at 150’so Inhave no field of view on my right side. I shoot using perifical vision_

Earlier this week I was running my 25 MMpmold to shoot out of my new TJ barreled Kral Bighorn.

I have been casting for 55 years now and have gotten lead splatters now and then, but this week I really got cooked. I of course wear a heavy leather coat and gloves and eye protection and a 12 inch floor fan blowing onto me.

I decided to check my spruce plate tightness and removed my right glove to pick-up a Allen wrench. My ladle was in the pot full of iead, as I pivoted to the left, I lost sight of the ladle handle, brought my hand down on it and poured a iadles worth of moltened lead on the top of my thumb behind the web of my thumb. I monthly catch my hand on the push lever of my coffee pot, sometimes spilling it sometimes not, but nothing like this.

Instantly my neighbors were blinded by the flashing red light of my asshole throbbing in and out.

I got it under a faucet of cold running water and avoided a 3rd degree burn, but days later it is shedding skin and still burns.

When my adult children visit and look at their blind fathers cashing furnace, they shutdder but know nothing they can say will stop me from pouring bullets.

Be safe out there,

Does anyone make magazines for 30 caliber FX Maverick that don't sound like a big loud baby rattle when walking with it or when cycling the action?

I bought the Notos to use in our barn where pigeons roost and make a mess. I however don't like shooting more than 12-15fpe at max in there. No point. So my goal is to tune it to 12fpe. Taking it out of the box I was very impressed with the build honestly. Feels much nicer than a $250 gun.

Only knock to that is I see a Phillips screw or 2 on the gun and I think that makes it look cheap. Most screws i see are allen screws so why they used a phillips at all seems silly. Not a fan of the safety but I've had worse. Mag takes alittle to get aligned as pushing it all the way is a hair too far. Trigger a tad heavy once adjusted nicely but I can fix that. Fill probe I just don't like them, but do like it's a one piece machined probe.

Those are my negatives out of the way, now the good. It feels really good in the hand. Really lightweight yet solid feel. The cocking lever while I wish it was on the other side, it feels really nice and smooth. The trigger like I said while heavy, is actually quite crisp and predictable once adjusted. Gun is quiet. Shroud does its job and actually the barrel seems very stable. Happy about that. The pic rail is nice having all that room available to mount basically anything you'd like. And my quick accuracy testing shows it does very well. No paper just shooting dirt clods to get roughly sighted in.

Let me say this I've done the Prod before. Regulated, tactical stock and LDC. What roughly $600 total? Benjamin should be embarrassed by selling a stock Prod for what I've seen $380 the cheapest at Utah Airguns. This gun puts it to shame even when upgraded as above. I was a Benjamin fan for along time, with the Mrod mainly but as a company they have severely fallen behind on the new offerings out.

Anyways so my Notos I mounted a Swapfox red dot and it fits perfectly. Before I shot the gun I tore it apart and took off the air tube to adjust the regulator down. Impressed with the machining. I adjusted the reg down one half turn. I then removed hammer spring and cut off 3 coils off the spring. Put it back together and seems to still be shooting faster than 12fpe. However I shot 4 mags and went from 3500psi to 2200psi. So it is shooting slower. I'm waiting on a FX Chrono to come in to see how its doing and will update once I do get it.

Overall I'm very happy. Looking forward to playing with this gun more.

So I just bought this used Daystate Air Wolf and it came with the gauge at 100 bar. I hooked up my compressor and when the gauge hits 100 bar on the compressor there's a loud click and it will not charge any further. I contacted daystate and they said it's a problem with the shuttle valve which they assume has been assembled backwards. They told me to clean it all up and it will work. I took off the fill valve and the shuttle valve was very difficult to get out. once I got it out, I saw why. the inside of the fill port is very scraped (chattered?) up. I am assuming the shuttle valve is simply sticking on the rough scraping in there. Will a new fill port fix this issue? where do I even go about finding a new fill port?

I'll try to include a picture here

Thanks!

This morning I dialed back to 8x on the scope, took three shots, sunny and bright day. First round hits on a black walnut at 50 yards (2 MILs) saline bottle on “end” at 64 yards (3 MILs) and the capper, the saline bottle at 102 yards (10 MILs). The hits actually make me laugh with joy, never gets old. I could see the pellets arcing in the sunlight before the hits… Sending CPHPs… Now off for a tandem bicycle ride with my wife…

On Thursday, I got a Taipan Veteran Short in .25 from Tony at Talon Tunes: a very sweet little gun. Yesterday evening, I stole the Westhunter 3-12X44 from my Ranger, put it on the Taipan and zeroed it at 30 yards. I then set out for a walk about the farmyard to see if any pests would present themselves. I walked along the south side of the barn and, coming to the SE corner, I carefully and slowly peeked out and saw... nothing. I started toward the next corner, taking a wide berth of the long empty manure trench, when a spatze (house sparrow) flew out from above the barn door and landed in a rabbit/deer cage around a small apple tree, 15 yards away, if not 10. I stood there for a moment, incredulously, as we stared at each other.

I raised the gun slowly, lined up roughly, closed my left eye and started trying to find him. The scope was set to 12x, as I needed to be able to ID birds, since there are a lot of finches here that could be mistaken for a spatzina (female house sparrow) at distance. I fully expected to find nothing and that when I opened my other eye there would be an empty cage, as he would have long flown off. I did find him however and, despite a blurry image as my side focus was set to 25 yards, I could see he was still staring at me. I lined up, squeezed the trigger, and he started up at the noise of the report, then crumpled to the ground in a trail of feathers. I heard the thwack of the pellet, and then a whizzing noise of it flying off. The 25.4 grain JSB, moving ~890 fps, passed through and continued on with a good bit of energy to spare.

I guess that, since I was in the shadow of the barn, he couldn't quite make out what was going on? Seems like a stretch, though. I probably should have let him go, as he was clearly the biggest dunce spatze in WI, and my shooting him didn't do nearly as much damage to their population as letting him pass on his genes would have.

First bite for the Taipan Shorty: spatze, 15 yards, offhand, complete overkill.

Several different types and size ammo, from .22 to .30.
Pictures show everything I have, most everything is new and full but a few are half full.

I know a reg takes time to settle after adjusting it. But I went up to 126 bar on my second reg, and today I checked to see where it’s at…and it has settled down to 118-119 bar! Which is way more than I’m used to; usually my other FX rifles would settle back 2 bar at most. On top of that, my first reg jumped up a little from 155 bar to 157-158 bar.

Explanations?

Have been looking to pickup a couple spare mags for my M3 in .25

The mag that came with it is 28 rounds in .25

Every major seller I can find (including direct from FX) says that the most current mags for M3 are 25 rounds in .25, not 28

Am I going crazy here? Mine is 28 rounds. Pics attached for proof.

So how can I be sure to get the 28 round mag, if they even exist other than this one unicorn that I have...

The New York winds were very cooperative tonight. 3-5 tail wind with a slight left push. Wanted to test a new tune I put on the .22 Crown with a 380 barrel and wasn’t disappointed. JSB 18’s @ 888fps, (12) 10 shot groups at 58 yards off 1 fill with probably enough left in the tank for 1 more mag

I’ve got a Chassis RAW. .25 cal. The action is new (2022 and I’ve never shot it), and the chassis has seen barely any use (Like new). Wanted to know what people would trade for it. No scope.

I hate to "steel" ideas from a poor china company , bit i kinda liked this spinner platform.. gives you some flyer backstop area ..

Well the @americanairarmsofficial evol does it again. It's all I want in my rifle room now. I was going to try this for prs and maybe I might be able to still and run the same tune for slug and pellet but I think this rifle is going to be my 100y br rifle.

These groups were shot in typical @CTAirgunner fashion and @AirGun_Addicts_Anonymous and many others know, that means with haste lol

These are 1 magazine groups so 11 shots per group at 100 yards. I know for a fact I could have done better.

I will say it again, THESE RIFLES ARE SICK!

Shooting monster redesigns at 955 fps.

Oh and the tastey meal is another thing I'm known for around here, always cooking that healthy stuff

Crack encompasses the entire hand-rest. There is also a crack where the main action sits. Needs to be done perfectly. Money is NOT an issue. Even if it costs as much as a new stock to fix. Give me an estimate in DMs and link your website.

Today a user brought his brand new M3 just to show me and inspect it.

The 1st regulator of this M3 is working great. Quick recovery and very nominal creep. Creep might get better as it will brake in.

Looks like perhaps FX has made some improvements to new 1st regulators of M3 guns.

Let's see through the test of time.

I’ve got a FX Crown MK2 for sale. I’ve got 700mm and 380mm .30 caliber barrels and a 700mm .25 barrel with the probe for both calibers so you can switch between the 2. Would also come with a 6-24x44 Hawke scope, 3 full tins of .25 caliber FX pellets, and 1 .30 caliber tin of FX pellets. Would come with a 480cc bottle and a hard case. Asking $2000 OBO for the whole package. Selling for a friend so ask me for his number.

Hey folks,

I have a question about storing pcp airguns long term. I'm curious if I store them for a year or two without using them, is that a bad thing or will it damage any o-rings/other parts?

I've been told to use them every few months, but some life plans have gotten in the way and I might not be able to use them for a long period of time. I'll be storing them in a safe with little to no humidity, but was curious if there's any preventative maintenance I should be aware of.

Had a very difficult week, work-wise and family wise… So after mowing, I had this tasty Coors. It’s not a craft beer, but it goes down nicely when one is thirsty. Since I didn’t have a Bud Light can, the Coors was it. 102 yards, sending CPHPs, wind from the north (my left), 5 shots before the first hit. 10 MILs of holdover and at least two MILs hold off. So about 36” of drop, and 6” of hold off. The second, low hit on the can (9 MILs holdover). Then I hit that saline bottle too! This is with a West Hunter WHT 3-12x44 IR FFP, while a good 60 yards and in pesting scope. Using 10 MILs of holdover, which is at the bottom of the reticle when at 12x leaves a lot to be desired. 10 shots for 3 hits on the can. 5 shots for 1 hit on the bottle. Sipping on a local craft brew as I type this and feeling lucky and blessed. Wishing all you ladies and gentlemen a happy Memorial Day Weekend. “Home of the free, because of the brave.” God Bless America.

I had back surgery Tuesday. Received this used HW98 Wednesday. Feeling well enough to finally piece it together and shoot it this morning.

I optically centered and installed a new 3-9x40 Airmax scope. Theyre my favorite scope for this platform. What you're looking at is the first and only five shots I've fired through this rifle. Four through the upper right hole. The other shot was the third shot which could have been me. I thought the gun might have droop. Which it obviously doesn't.

I have no idea if the gun was ever tuned. If it hasn't it's the smoothest factory Weihrauch I've ever shot. There's white lithium grease abound so I suspect it's been tinkered with. It looks like I wasted my money on the Vortek parts I ordered last week. It shoots so nice, I'm leaving the guts on this one the F alone.

The trigger however feels untouched and unimpressive. I'll eventually play with it. The gun is portly on the scale. 9.78 lbs in this arrangement. That's about 3/4lb more than my HW95 with the same scope and rings. Still it feels good in hand on the bench.

I'm gonna put it away and wait until I can plumb and torque the scope mounting. All my gun tools are in my Arkansas house. Including my chronograph so I have no idea of the guns output.

Granted the test results are from only ten yards but it told me that it shoots smoothly, probably accurately and has no droop. I'm looking forward to stretching it's legs in Arkansas in a few weeks. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase. Thank you Dave.

Be well all

I've fallen down the FX tuning rabbit hole and need help getting out!
My goal is develop a tune that allows me to shift from 18.1 gr pellets to 20.2 gr slugs by just making changes to the power wheel and the transfer port.

GUN MODS: Base gun is an FX Dreamline Tact in .22 cal and 500 mm barrel. I have added: The 23 step power wheel. Huma heavy hammer spring. Huma 13 gram hammer weight. Huma dual port transfer port. Pin probe. FX superior liner w/CF sleeve. CF shroud. Donny FL FX moderator. I measure hammer spring pre-load by using a digital caliper on the side slot adjustment window.

What I'm attempting is the flattest chrono graph line possible (I'm using an FX chrono). With the reg set at 130 bar, the power wheel at 23, the pre-load at 15.4 mm and the transfer port set to .25/.30. The results for slugs is promising, less than a 10 fps spread and good accuracy. When I use the the same settings and turn the power wheel down to 7 I get similar results but the graph is more shark toothed; the shots jumping 10 fps up and down as opposed to the relatively flat line of the slugs. Another anomaly I'm seeing is that after 9-10 shots the speed drops 10-15 fps and slowly builds back.

I'm using the gun for long range target shooting (200-250 yards for slugs), so consistency is of prime importance. My question is: Am I trying to tune a unicorn? One gun that excels with both type of ammo. Since I obviously love to tinker, I'm willing to try any changes.
