Serious question:
No matter which type lubricant I've used and please believe I have tried several, so please don't ask. The oil/lube turns BLACK way too fast. This past oil/lube change I've done nothing but fill my rifle about 10 times with an average fill time of less than a minute each.
I'm certain the compressor is on a flat surface, and I am filling to the top of the red dot as suggested.
Is it possible I'm overfilling or underfilling or maybe something else is askew?
******************************************************
From the manual:

Filtration and maintenance: The ISO VG46 hydraulic oil should be changed as soon as it changes color, each fill of oil is about 16 ounces. Change the hydraulic oil every 50 hours filling.
******************************************************************************************************************
When I fill to the specified mark on the sight glass, she only takes 10/11 ounces.

So! Fill with 16 ounces or go by the sight glass??

Sorry for beating this dead horse.

Thanks - Ponz

Hello Shooters!

I was pretty happy with how this shooting session turned out, so I am glad that I had a camera rolling. Here is a link:

I was shooting the hanging spinning targets (Assembly instructions can be found here) and chalk on top of the sawhorse at 25 Yards in 20mph sustained winds. I was shooting my 22cal Avenger shooting 21.14gr Baracuda Match 5.51mm Head at about 875FPS.

I hope that you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed pulling the trigger all those times. Woo hoo!!

Airguns are awesome!!

These are my first comments on the Sidewinder .30 Cal that I just received.

The rifle arrived filled at 250 bar and regulator set at about 149 bar.


The rifle feels really light.

My Daystate Wolverine HP. 25 Cal seem to be louder.


Total length is perfect for handling.


The ergonomics are the best I have seen in an air rifle (even better than the Uragan). The one who designed the ergonomics of this rifle is a genius.

The trigger has a long midle weight first stage and shot is not so predictable. But is not bad, you get use to it.


The Sidewinder has a safety/Semi/full auto selector and a safety in the right side above the trigger.

Magazine is all metal and very well designed.


With 12 pellets the rifle was dully zeroed.


At the end of this first zeroing 15 shots session I was able to hit a stone the size of a golf ball at 190 yards. The rifle seems to be really accurate and consistent.


Tomorrow I will make groups and I will measure fps.

Are you fugly? Well that sucks for you cause I can’t help with that.
So are you poor and have limited skills and access to mid to high end tools? I have attached a few pics of bits I bought while wandering are my local hardware stores. Pretty sure you can figure out how to make them work and even modify them for your needs. 1 part pictured may actually be used for something else. I’ll be adding more as I go.

This is a used ( not new ) has scratches and signs of wear all over but nothing to terrible imho lol. just look at the pics. Functions as it should and holds air. As you can see the older guage near the bottle end in the pic is not accurate so I just used the one on my compressor when filling. If this interest you here are the pics.

So I had to see what all the hype was about. A lot of people are raving about the new umarex notos. So by chance I just happened to see one in a sporting goods catalog that came with something else I ordered. Well doom on me and having the credit to buy it so I did. I have to say umarex really has a good product with this little thing. I threw a scope on it and did some quick sighting in this evening and the little regulator was consistent between 819 and 821 feet per second. And yes the little rascal is very accurate. So I'm looking forward to breaking this one in quite quickly. And yes I would definitely recommend it it is an absolute fun little gun.

Hi guys (and gals)!

Has anyone glass bedded their PCP? What kind of experiences have you had?

I finally glass bedded my Hatsan Flash Wood and I have been really happy with it. Don't know if the accuracy has increased that significantly from the glass bedding or if I have just found the right speed for the pellets to be shot at. Have a look at my journey on the glass bedding on the following vide and give your feedback!


Hope you all enjoy the video.

Anyone try these inexpensive chronographs that are $35? I'm not planning on tuning very often. I just need to tune for slugs. I've seen some youtube videos and a few positive post. Just wondering if anyone has compared one to a more expensive chronograph. Are they accurate, and consistant? Looks like there not going to be the most durable for I wont be using it very much. I already have a chosen pellet I just need to figure out what slugs it likes.

So my YH arrived today. I kind of expected it to come with oil but no.
From reading her at AN I'm leaning towards the Seco500.
Manual of course does not mention break in and says 50 hours for first oil change. Sounds like many change their oil the first time at an hour or less run time. What to use for break in oil?
I think I read @12oz for fill (?)

The AOA used section has been responsible for wearing the numbers off my credit card lately.

I called them morning to ask about the FX Royal 400 FT they have listed on the used section. I said it is confusing me because I can’t find anything about it online with that chassis. Sales guy said yeah, it confused him also and asked I believe the sales manager.

He said yes, there is nothing online about them because they only made ten.

So I either bought a rare rifle or a marketing failure.

Now the wait for the brown truck.

I will have to see when I get it if it has a regulator. If not I will add one. Anyone have any input on it. I see Huma makes a drop in. Alstros makes one the goes between the bottle and frame.

Jessica the Iguana Solutions huntress revealed she’s using this combo on her last video.
Anybody using it?
How do you tune for this?
Presently favoring 15gr JSB at 700fps

No special reason for asking, just that I haven’t seen any posts from him for almost 2 months. He was a regular poster here and often had interesting things to say.

Registration and Event details and hyperlinks have been added to our Calendar!

Hope to see you there!

Would this work? I have a Hatsan spark compressor and I added a Tuxing large filter to it. The problem is that by the time it fills up the filter to pressure and starts to fill the gun it is close to its max temp so I have to shut it down and wait. I'm thinking to add a shut off valve to both ends of the filter so that I can shut them and keep the filter at pressure while I bleed the line to the gun and compressor so that I can disconnect them. I found a small filter with a built in bleeder that I can put on the line going to the gun to bleed that line and I can bleed the compressor with its built in bleeder but I need two shut off valves, one on each end of the filter. Does anyone know where to find them? I guess it would also be nice to have a gauge that shows the pressure in the filter.

Up for sale is an FX Crown MKI in 177. This rifle loves the JSB 13.43 and shoots right at 805 so you are under the 20 foot pounds for Field Target. There are a couple of small marks on the stock that I photographed.

Tony P.

i had a 1377 35 years ago so of course i need to make a real slick 1 now except in 22. seems the steal breach is mandatory and the rear sight that cost more than the 1322. the grip and pump handle is super cool , 3d printed grip/foregrip actually feels really nice. mines lefty but they come in righty for you slow guys. i spoke with the master mac1, seems more power only works with a longer barrel. mine is 490 with 13.43 jsb. if i can get same power with less pumps then i will add flat top stuff

1st 2 shots after sight in @ 12 yards



5 shots

I love a springer with a peep sight. If you have never tried it, you really should. After all, most springers are not target guns. Not like a PCP. The majority of shooting takes place less than 30 yards. The peep keeps the springer balanced, small and light. Don’t get me wrong, I like scopes also. But enjoy shooting springers with peeps even more so.
Show us your “Peepers”!

Fun factor... What's the next gun on the list to buy for the fun factor? (All in .22 or .25)
I'm looking at :
Notos $250
Jts Airacuda max $420
Kral punch breaker silent $350
Beeman 1358 underlever $250
Invest $500 into my 1377 (lol jk)

I was looking for something that I didn't necessarily have to bench all the time like my gauntlet. I think I would like the bullpup style. All the above aside from the Airacuda max fit that. The max is in there just because it seems like a great gun for the money and I'd like to get a .25

Backyard friendly is a plus. I do have a .177/.22 Donny tatsu that can be added.

What would you get and why? Thanks for helping me make another bad decision
