I've recently started building up my collection of discontinued springers and I've found most of them to be pretty tip top shooters. Just curious if there are any out there that you think deserve to be revived more than the others.

In the past I have used FP-10 CLP for lubing my pellets and slugs when shooting my RAW's, which seemed to work just fine.

Earlier this year, I read a post from Hector Medina (GTA) recommending T-9 (bicycle lube/wax) for pellets for Springers. After using the T-9 ... I noticed all my Springer's muzzle velocity increased about 20-40fps vs. pellet straight from the tin. I had never lubed pellets for Springers before .

Now wondering if I can get the same velocity increase using T-9 for the RAW's? To be honest, not sure if the FP-10 was doing the same - just never tested?

I already polish and wax the barrels of all my airguns to improve accuracy/reduce excessive barrel leading. Always looking for ways to increase velocity so I can de-tune other aspects of the gun, hence reducing hammer strike, regulator set-point and/or increasing efficiency.

Has anyone found a negative to using Boeshield T-9 as a PCP pellet/slug lube?

The small one – H&N Baracuda 8 in .177​

Weighing just 8.44 grains, the H&N Baracuda 8 is a lightweight addition to our line of .177 caliber Field Target and Hunter Field Target pellets. Why another pellet in the same weight class as the H&N Field Target Trophy, some might ask? The answer is simple: the FTT does not achieve optimal results in every weapon, so an alternative is needed. And here it is.

As with all domed head airgun pellets, the Baracuda 8 is extremely versatile and is also a good choice for small game hunting and pest control. It will be initially available in the popular 4.51mm head size.

Production has just started.

The big one – H&N Slug HP II .30​

The latest and much requested addition to our range of premium slugs bridges the gap in our product portfolio between the .25 and .35 calibers. The chosen diameter of .301 / 7.65 mm proved to be the most suitable for all of our test guns from different manufacturers. Initially we will offer two weight options: 50 grains and 54 grains - we may offer other options in the future as well.

The Slug HP II .30 features our two-stage hollow point "T-Slot": the upper part with a shallow angle ensures a quick start of the deformation, the lower part with an acute angle keeps the deformation going. The result is a secure and massively expanding projectile.

Production is running, worldwide deliveries will start shortly.



Airhunter Gerhard tested our new slugs on a hunting trip to the USA - check out his latest video on YouTube.

Feinwerkbau 800 FT .177 , 20.4J Rifle

Well here is what you get

I just shot this Target ( top 3 are sight in)
No cherry picking BS
25M Outdoors, off Bench, on a bipod ( a wobbly a$$ MTM Bench i might add)
4-16x50 Hawke Sidewinder
JSB 13.43 Un-sorted, straight out of the tin
51 Degree's,
NOTE the Wind Conditions in the last pic (and they were swirling)

I know it’s been asked a 1,000 times. I am wanting a quality springer for squirrel hunting. I have an old Remington nitro piston in 22 and it’s okay. I don’t care if it a break barrel, side cocker, under lever, whatever. Weight doesn’t bother me, but I like a good sling on a rifle. I am left handed so at least an ambi stock and thumbhole stocks are not for me. It doesn’t need to be a true left handed gun either. Budget is up to 800 for the gun. I will be putting a good quality scope on it with a parallex at least down to 25yards preferably lower and adjustable. I will put a good base and rings on as well. I have pcps but I like Springers because I grew up with them and pumpers. It just brings back good memories of my father and me shooting them and hunting with them. I don’t mind sending it to get tuned by a quality airsmith to get them right. Range will be out to 40-50 yds max.
I know they get more difficult to shoot accurately as power and caliber goes up. I’m open to other calibers as well. I

Thanks

As seen at this weeks British Shooting Show, FX Airguns has released the Dynamic DoubleAir Adapter Kit that allows the easy modification of any of the FX Panthera models.



With this inexpensive adapter set you can setup your Panthera to use double bottles for additional air (Panthera DoubleAir setup), or move the back bottle to the front for a Panthera Hunter configuration. These adapters have been sent to FXUSA and will be at dealers in the coming weeks. Also note that Panthera's are now shipping constantly to dealers.

Ernest and Jon talk about this conversion kit as well as other new accessories for the Panthera and info on what Ernest has found on the Panthera now that he's been using it for these last two months.


And here Ernest shows you how easy and simple these conversions are in two new FX Masterclass videos:

Good day
Once again I am raising old issue of my guns accuracy, today I was going through its Test Report as attached. I observed that it was tested on JSB Jumbo Beast 33 grains. Interestingly I found that diameter of pellet is 5.5880 mm whereas I am trying JSB redesigned 23 grains having 5.52 mm diameter.
Do you think barrel will behave eratic with pellets having 5.52mm diameter. Please explain.

Can't say I only just saw them because they are right there, but I finally digested the numbers (i.e., gave them two seconds of thought) and realized there is 5 times the amount of traffic on the PCP section as there is on the Traditional Air Gun section of AGN.

Are PCP's 5 times more popular or just 5 times more complicated requiring more discussion than traditional air guns? Look around any air gun range or in the classified adds and they do seem 5 times more popular.

It seems that taipan will release a forward cocking bullpup rifle at IWA 2023!!!!

They posted this photo on their instagram account!!!

Here is a link to it too: https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxCBpfNQQL/

PS: Sorry guys I hadn't noticed the post made earlier by CTairgunner1288 about the new taipan. Here is a link to the thread;
https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/taipan-listened.1284664/

..... My good friend purchased an airacuda max .22 per my recommendation and after shooting his I honestly fell inlove with it and bought myself a .25 , with that said I am looking for a quality optic with great pricing. I absolutely LOVED my titan 1c MRAD I had on my alpha wolf and on my taipan long, I just am going the other direction with airgunning for now, producing high end results with budget setups. The market is changing for the better for those who cannot afford to be airgun gigachads and I am going to start enjoying the "budget" line ups. Ive never used an Arken but hear good things, rifle is going to be primarily a table top gun, looking for high mag.... any suggestions?

They listened to everyones gripe lmao

This is my Ernest owned and Ernest built .30 Impact. It has all the M3 upgrades installed power wheel, 720 plenum, and power block. It also has the new brass regulator plunger. The other upgrades are the 700cc bottle, black FX wika gauges, k&l probe holder, fx barrel clamp(tension system included), m3 buttstock, stainless fasteners, Sabertactical trs top rail, Sabertactical arca rail V2, Ernest carbon fiber cocking handle, Ernest dual transfer port. It will come with 3 liners slug A with carbon sleeve bonded, superior with carbon sleeve bonded, and superior heavy carbon sleeve not installed. (2) FX magazines one with orions insert and the other stock but will include the orion insert, 1 carm single shot tray, (1) Elis5173 speed loader to work with the orion insert and another to work with standard fx insert, (1) Elis5173 mag. Also coming with 910 c1 tool, huma pin probe, a liner cleaner that Ernest made to clean when lead builds up at the end of the liner. I probably am forgetting something but alot of time went into building this and keeping it up to date but my favorite part is the custom side plate I had engraved with Ernests real signature. It is set to shoot 100-120FPE currently I haven't had time to truly see what ammo it likes but the Varmint Knocker 50gr, Zan and hades showed some great potential test numbers below. Asking $2000 shipping I will split with buyer and it will come with a crown hard case which I specifically got so you can have the 700mm and a moderator installed on it ready to go. Thank you all for Looking

Hello Ghost owners,
I bought my first PCP, a Ghost 22 HP a few days ago and yet hadn't had time to mess with it. Any owners here that care to share what works for them?

Purchased Alpha In Line Filter from TopGun for my SHOEBOX, shoebox broke down before it could open valve on filter. So air never went into filter, brand new.
I’m going to buy a compressor that already has a high-quality filter, so I don’t need this one. $325 shipped CONUS. Check or money order.

A few weeks ago I got a new permission I decided to buy a night vision scope be I went to it.It finally came in the mail so I put it on the wild cat sniper.All I can say is should of bought one of these years ago Got there a little early to check the place out.I ran into farm hand told him what’s up so he was nice enough to show me a few hot spots.All I can say is the 2 1/2 hour round trip
wasn’t a waste of gas

My Atomic XR loves the CPHPs and many pests would, if they could, testify as to the terminal performance out to 50+ yards. At $6.24 per tin? Oh yeah! 2500 rounds for less than $33? I still love my JSBs and AAs pellets, but my everyday pellets are the CPHPs.

I can make 3D printed Turrets for your scope. Here are some examples I printed this weekend for customers.
Let me know what you need.

.30 Impact lost it's accuracy after about 1,000 shots. Decided to clean it. Took off the moderator and the barrel and ran patch after patch with Lead Wipe away, Ballistol, Goof-off spot remover, Brakleen and dry patches in rotation. None ever came out clean after at least a hundred passes total with the above mix. Picture is the Lead Wipe Away patch with two passes after about 15 minutes into it all. Patches are on a .22 rod and brush that works really well. Do I need to (yikes) scrape the bore with a .30 cal brush? I am not fond of that or JB paste since it had shot so well. Has been fed nothing but JSB 44 grain straight out of the tin and was shooting MOA at 100 yards with no wind. Barrel looked spotless right after the first patch...but I kept going till I gave up and replaced the breach O-ring, put the barrel back on and fired a shot out the back door. Sounded like a .223 with out the moderator in the cold Winter air ! I just cant comprehend why it is so dirty when my powder burners come clean with no residue very quickly

​

The UPS man delivered the new Benchrest gun today. Wife wasn’t supposed to be home, so after a lengthy time out, I’m aloud to play now!! Lol.

First I want to thank Tom from High Pressure Pneumatics with all the great service and assistance with this. He personally called me several times while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do offering advice. After being stationed away from home for so many years, I’m finally home for awhile and just starting in the PCP venture this year. While I have an FT rig to finish setting up, I also wanted to be able to begin competing in Benchrest. After researching all of the choices over the last few years, I thought I was going to end up with an Impact or Redwolf, but after FX released the Panthera, I knew this was the one I wanted to try. The precision rifle look is what got me. While it is designed for the PRS, I believe it will do just fine in the benchrest.

The next thing was to decide on the 500 or 600. I'm still learning about all this stuff myself, but this is how I looked at it between the 500 and 600. According to the FX website the:

500 has a plenum size of 62cc + 300cc bottle = 362cc of air @ 56 shots with a 25.39 gr pellet at 880 fps.
600 has a plenum size of 156cc + 300cc bottle = 456cc of air @ 60 shots with 26 gr hybrid slug at 900 fps

Now my plan is to shoot pellets with this in bench rest. From what I've read and listened to folks talk about slugs is that it takes more air to push them. If that is indeed the case and I can get 60 slug shots (+or-), I should be able to in theory get several more shots with pellets. Also, 600 has more combined air capacity over the 500, which again in theory should equal more shots. I could be way off in left field with my thinking of how this works, but that was my thought process.

I don't need a 100+ shot count, just high enough to hopefully get through a bench rest match plus sighters. If not, I'll top off with air. The main objective is as long as I can do my part, is to be able to have a gun that can hit a nat's a$$ every time at 50 and 100 yds.. LOL..

First impression is holy smokes this is an awesome rifle!! I’ve only ever seen one other FX gun in person. Video doesn’t do justice to the quality. My Red Wolf is the same level of quality as well and I’m sure there are others, but this is what I have to judge by. The 600 is the perfect length I was looking for. It’s hard to tell in videos just how big or small a rifle really is.

Also is a pic of the shot string Tom did just before sending it out. Remember I had the pellet liner installed, so from what I’ve read and seen, that fps is on the high side of where I probably need to be with a pellet. This is how it came, so we will start there and then work our tune down. This is all a new learning experience for me. You think you know from reading and watching, but in my experience, hands on is the best teaching method for me.

Unfortunately I don’t have a chronograph yet for tuning and testing. I’m also trying to decide on a scope for it. So far my top 3 choices are Kahles, Sightron S8, and Valdada. I have a Kahles 1050i FT that I may mount just to get a few shots off this weekend. I’m also looking at a bipod, and the GRS has my interest at the moment. I’ll post more as I get to start tuning and testing. Should be interesting setting the this up for primarily pellets.

I am mounting a scope on my recently purchased Pro Sport and I found decent reviews and recommendations for Sports Match scope rings with the recoil pin. I cleaned & degreased everything and mounted the scope rings on the Air Arms Pro Sport dovetail and for some reason the gap between the bottom of the scope rings and the top of the dovetail seemed excessive.

I'm assuming that it works based on the clamping force of the rings perpendicular to the dovetail, pinching tightly to the scope rail. Does anyone else have a similar setup and is the gap normal or do I need to consider a different set of rings?:





If the consensus is that I should consider different scope rings I would appreciate recommendations of a set of rings with the recoil pin.

Thanks - PJ

Ordered Monday night from Midway @ 233 bucks, arrived today before dark so I had some time to shoot. Quick review, it's not that quiet, sounds like my L2, it feels like my L2 also. Started out with crosman hp's, was getting decent groups @ 31yrds in windy conditions. Trigger is really hard to the point it will affect your groups. Tried FX 18gr. And the groups tightened up. I bought this gun for one purpose and that is to mount my pardnv008 and shoot rats at night in the back yard. It's extremely light weight. Overall I am satisfied and believe it will do what I want. At some point I will saw off the moderator and epoxy an adapter for my donnyl tanto.. Will do some chronograph test tomorrow. The safety in the trigger sucks, but I dont use it so I can live with it. I think the trigger can be improved, I hope so anyway. I own a Cricket, a Vulcan a leshiy 2 and some lesser airguns. If you keep in mind it cost very little and dont compare it to your high end guns, you're gonna be happy.

Excellent condition right hand laminated stock. Comes with original manual also air fill adapter, MEC Score Crystal Fly front sight (nib $130) and bipod. This is unmodified turn key gun needs nothing. $1100 buyer pays shipping cost.

Hi, I am looking for some advice on finding a good beginner air pistol. I am not sure if this will become a new hobby, so I would like to keep the associated expenses to a minimum. This would mean a pistol that does not need CO2 or a pump / tank for charging. This would seem to leave break barrel / spring guns as the main category. Thinking of a pistol so that it can easily be thrown into a backpack for covering some ground on foot without the need of a sling. In my search, I ran into the Westlake break barrel pistol as what might be the ideal form factor / size.

Reason for the post is that I believe the Westlake gun may be quite a vintage and not a totally reliable shot out past 20ft. It also does not seem widely available and therefore worth looking at alternatives. Could there be any recommendations for a decent beginner break barrel pistol with a wooden handle? Any general advice or leads for this search would be a boost!

How many of you have more than one PCP?
