Just an update to let you know that the first round FX Panthera's are starting to ship out to dealers today. We're getting out what we can today before cutoff and then more shipping next week. I know everyone is excited for these to get in customers hands and for feedback to be shared. Are hope is that we have a lot of Panthera's being used for the first time in monthly NRL22 matches starting in January / February.

In the meantime while you wait, Hein Frommann offers his insight into the gun through his engineering eyes:


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE HERE ON AIRGUN NATION!

Hi, where do you guys get these cut-out gun cases for the Maverick, my gun didnt come with a case.

I am brand new to airguns so I bought a 10x 3i and I am trying to learn all I can about it. I see all kinds of stuff about all the other Gamo's but very little on the 10x 3i why is that. Am I missing something

Is there a way to calm down the radical vibration that some break barrels have, some are ok reasonable but others are or seem too much, spring too short, too long, too strong, no lube ??? Or nothing can be done with out power loss.

On the internet all you have is your reputation which is made by the way you conduct yourself. I am referencing selling here. It pisses me off that I do all that I can to be honest and fast in my sales. I even get " I am happy with the purchese", yet no "plus" point. If someone buys from me they get a "+". All the buyer has to do is pay which entitles them to a "+". When I complete my part I should get a "+". So very many times I have sold on here and got zero. I have never had to refund or explain any problems. All my dealings have been satisfactory or at least there were no complaints. In todays world that means that everyone was happy. Leave positive feedback when warranted.

"The rifle is equipped with an interchangeable match grade Lothar Walther barrel that can be quickly changed to 4 available calibers (.177, .22, .25, and .30). All barrels have industry leading accuracy that will impress any shooter."
It was a hard piece of lead to swallow for 2000 dollars , But with all the hoopla over the match grade barrels from Lothar Walther, I seen where the compact 22 performance were selling for 1,400 bucks No I am going to wait and wait I did for five months , So I got my compact II in It does not have a Match grade L W Barrel !
PLEASE if you did not buy a RTI compact you have no say in this!!!!!! IF you did buy one how do you feel about it? I think RTI should have said sorry we can't get your match grade barrel we will knock 200 off the price of the gun,,, OR I think RTI should say sorry we could not get the match grade barrel here is 200 or 300 dollars credit when we get the barrels in.
Maybe I just need to suck it up , The Air gun people advertise one thing sell you something total different and say that is just the way it is..

Has any one gotten there Kalibrgun Springbok? And if so how is it? Slugs?

After technical issues, I returned my first Akela. I was hoping the second one would be better. It sort of is. Well, the wood looks nicer, and given that I'm sick of returning things, I'll stick with this one. Like the first Akela, however, there are issues with the stock finishing. Rub your fingers down the surface, and you'll feel bumps where it should be smooth and vice versa. The cutouts at the rear, in particular, have obvious bulges where it should be flat. The trigger guard is also rough, although the material is thin, so I can only do so much correcting. There's also the issue of the very off center safety markings. It's almost impressive how poorly done it is.

Instead of immediately removing the finish, I decided to keep it on as long as possible. It makes doing corrections easier. I know which areas still need work, and low spots really stick out. Things have been going well enough. I'm not sure what to do about the safety markings, however. I was thinking about mixing sawdust with epoxy and filling the markings with it. Would probably stick out like a sore thumb, though. I could also sand the markings away, but again, the material is very thing there.

Ideas?

I have a .22 RAW HMX1000 I’m looking to sell. The gun has gone to Alan zasadny for a whole host of upgrades including a backbored chamber for super easy handloading. A carbide probe for no more bent pellet probes. A full length shroud that
Makes this gun extremely quiet to shoot. It comes with a Plano all weather case 3 standard RAW magazines aswell as a 20 shot AEA Swede magazine. It has the gray ops arca rail extension on the bottom of the gun aswell. I also have the ERGO 0 degree grip on the gun. I also have a 50ftlb reg and a lower power reg. I would also include a large number of pellets and slugs with the rifle.
Optics and bipod will not be included.
2,000 will be tuned for your choice of pellets of slugs.

I've owned many springers, RWS, Benjamin (marauder), Gamo, and most recent Beeman R9, these were all get with open sights but when I try to add scopes to them they do not stay consistent or hold zero. I think it's because of them being break barrels and to much movement. Never owned a PCP and don't know where to start in purchasing pumps but just want the most consistent 177 cal for shooting sparrows while I sit retired on my porch... Please give me some insight on a 177 wood, fixed barrel, and most consistently accurate pellet gun with rotary clip so I can be the sparrow whapping king.

I'm looking to sell a regulated .22 airforce talon that includes a 12" .25 cal barrel the pistol end cap and a 9" talon tunes moderator. The moderator can only be used with the 12" barrel. To do the swap it can all be done in about 5 minutes.
I'm looking to get 525.00 shipped and insured to your door.

**I see a lot of lookers but no questions or offers?? It's Christmas and I might just take a reasonable offer. What cha thinking guys?

Purchased new from Airguns of Arizona January 21, 2021
Actual run time filling my PCP Airguns is 2 hours and 41 minutes (I keep track in a notebook) plus about an hour of test run time. We run this compressor weekly doing the approximately 30 second line fill test runs to keep it active and in working order. We've never had a problem with it.
I’m selling it as my wife recently purchased me an Omega 75 cu. Ft. Patriot cylinder and an Omega Turbo Charger to fill it. With the cylinder and Turbo Charger, we do not see ourselves using the Trail Charger any longer and would like to find a new home for it.
Shipped in original box with tools and rebuild kit.
Asking $550 plus shipping and insurance continental USA. I prefer PayPal Friends & Family or add 3.5%. Not considering any trades, thank you.
If you have any questions, please contact me, I’ll give you my cell number and we can talk to get your questions answered. Thanks for looking!

The best offence is a good defense!

We send these things across the country all the time and are always concerned with how they will arrive. Is there anything that can be done?
I think so. Here is the method I prefer. Please share if you can think of improvements, or if other methods have worked well for you.


Start with a couple of pictures of the gun itself as proof of condition prior to boxing.


Then separate the action and stock.
Next apply a light coat of oil and cover the action with shrink film to seal it from the elements during its travels.


Build a box to pad and protect the trigger mechanism.




The rest of the action is covered in bubble wrap and shrink wrap.


Then placed in a cardboard tube protecting the ends.




Action complete.

Using a VERY strong cardboard tube or piece of wood, strengthen the forks of the stock (in the case of a springer).



Once again apply a safe oil and shrink wrap.


Then cover in Bubble wrap and cardboard, making sure to protect the ends.




Wrap these two packages to each other securely. This prevents any damage from the action rubbing against the stock and also provides rigidity .


Finally place this into an outer box, fill with packing materials, protect the ends (yes, again).

Now it's ready to go.






Unwrapping is a chore for sure but there is no sticky tape touching the gun and it will survive any commercial shipper.

Total cost of packing materials is about 25 bucks, but much cheaper than a hard case and, much better protected unless the hard case is flight rated and the foam is form fitted.
This also results in a package that is cheaper to ship since it is now about 8x8x36.
Best of all, it no longer even looks like a gun. I've never been asked what I am shipping when packaged this way.

I have been talking to a few members via text message about the Hubens lately and we have gone back and forth all of us intrigued but all of us unsure. We all had our own reservations and whatnot about what was holding us back. For me it was the lack of need of another rifle and not wanting to put forth over 2k for another .....well........

Today I stumbled over to New England Airguns page and saw they had this used package that was shooting 47 gr NEAG boat tails and 26 gr hades on another setting. Oh its a 2020 .25

It was very well cared for, updated magazine. A cheap scope and a utg mount.

John at NEAG gave me a new updated manual written by him on handling and tuning and I picked up a new UTG soft case , 3 more bags of ammo and 2 tins of Hades.

I have to say I am flipping excited for this poop (yes I actually typed poop, the forum did not censor me)

Anyone have a Hummingbird they would sell....working or not?

Sorry for the new by question, but are there moderators that are more accurate than others? If so what brands/models are the most accurate or will this vary from gun and caliber?

Thinning the herd a bit.
Shoots the 25g Monster RD at 1050 if you want it to, so plenty of power available in this gun. Currently set to shoot the 18g at 945 but it is very easy to change with the external adjustable regulator and HS. Performance package includes a 580cc Carbon fiber bottle with 300 BAR fill. Barrel polished to perfection by Centercut. Trigger by DWall.
Comes with factory hard plastic case, factory mag plus 3 CARM mags.
It has 1:32 twist. Specifically designed for MRD's 25g pellet.

I purchased this Steyr ProX only a month ago from AirgunSport. It was an impulse purchase. Although everything about this airgun is perfect I simply have too many airguns, this one is a bit loud for indoor basement shooting so it bothers the wife and, although it is what I would consider backyard friendly, just not for my backyard. Unfortunately it won't get enough usage to keep it. I've enjoyed shooting it a bunch in the time I've owned it. I will call condition very good only as it has been used for shooting indoors.

I am looking to sell the Steyr ProX quickly and, as such, I am pricing this sale aggressively.

Here's what is included:

• Steyr ProX .22 with Walnut Stock (including the padded case it comes with, fill probe, one magazine and all accessories) - $2,795
• 4 x .22 10 round Magazines - $360
• Styer 11mm Bipod - $170
• Styer 1/2 UNF Adapter - $40
• Seekins Precision .82in Low Profile Scope Rings - $140
• Additional Accessories:
  • Magazine Storage Case by kube3d UK
  • MagPul Pic Rail under stock
  • Pellet/Slug loader, seater and storage case from eBay

NOTE: SCOPE AND LEVEL ARE NOT INCLUDED

Total price of everything new (not accounting for any shipping) is upwards of $3,500.

I will ship this all packaged safely in the original Steyr padded hard case which will then be boxed up as I received it. I will ship quickly via UPS 2 Day air at my expense.

I have an excellent reputation as a buyer and seller here on AGN so have no doubts you are getting what is described and pictured.

Price: $2650 SOLD

A lot of threads have been written about the BRK Ghost, but I will put my spin on it as an average "Joe". I wanted a rifle that was a 22 cal and short in overall length. I wanted it to have a good shot count and one I could take hunting with me. The Ghost Carbine fit the bill. I had my name on the list and was excited when the call came in that it had arrived.

When I got it home I pulled an Aztec scope I had on another rifle and put it on for now. (Looking for smaller scope options moving forward)



Cleaned the barrel with Ballistol and a pull through 6-8 times then started to experiment with different tunes. Settled in with reg pressure at 120 and hammer wheel on 18. 11 shots over the chrono 872 high, 868 low, average 870....spread 4 and STD Dev 1.5.....

Here are a few 40 yard targets with those settings....Not very good at all...I changed speeds, pellets,(Both 18 and 16's) reg pressure, but couldn't get it to print to my liking. It would always throw a few shots.





Back home I go to pull the barrel and do a thorough cleaning this time. Here is what I found...Nasty gunk!!!!! Used Gunzilla and JB Bore Paste. It took about 45 minutes to finally get the white patch in the picture.

I waited a day and headed out to shoot at 40 yards again....

Three shots at 40 yards!!!! I had to take a photo, because normally I shoot 5 shot groups and didn't want to jack this one up as it looked impressive.


Now the pressure was on to see if I could continue this group with 2 more shots....Yeah I was ready to shank one off like I always do



Damn, I better go buy a lottery ticket or something.....With the entire family starting to arrive tomorrow it will be awhile until I get Buster (Yeah I named the Ghost, Buster) out to do some hunting.

Now a big thanks goes out to @Franklink, @Centercut, @zx10wall, and @Arzrover for their help and guidance...

For those that call us at TGAG (TopGun-Airguns.com) and say "I want to use my oxygen tank to fill my PCP airgun".
To them I give a firm "NO!" (Think how a diesel engine works, Fuel, O2, and pressure= BOOOM!!!)
I have pix of of a couple of PCP that people thought they could fill with O2. This will happen when one use O2.

People sometimes call me overly cautious because I won't sell certain products (that would net me MORE profit). I come from the aerospace industry.

Yikes! next 10 days weather (42164) today is last day to shoot outside , for a few days. Actually any outside activity next few days .

This is such a superior platform to all the floppy barrel stuff. Once they add new models to this platform with various bottle placements it will be no contest. Unless you just really want a bullpup. No reason they could not eventually make a bullpup version though.

Hello AGN, this is my first post. I am from South Central Penna. Looking to find out more about air guns and tuning them. Thanks in advance.

I noticed that the new Panthera has a single reg. It also seems like people who own the M3 have more tuning difficulties. I know I am glad I stuck with my mk2 and didn’t upgrade to the M3. So do you think the dual reg is here to stay and is FX going back to a single reg in the future?
