hi guys, im currently shoting an fx crown .30 in a sabre tac chassis with a 600 barrel and im loving it shooting the 44.75 jsb round about 889 and achieving some absolutely great results with my best group being around .82 moa at 100 meters (not yards)

but seeing as where i live my entire area is open and not too far from a lake i usually get severe winds around here (50 mp/h and up)

so for me to be able to shoot more and have less days where is just straight up cant shoot because of this wind im thinking to change to slugs, however i almost cant find anything online when it comes to a crown 30 cal and slugs. so my question what would most likely be a reasonable result changing to slugs? tuning wise. wich slug. wich grains especially

I'm kind of looking to go preferably up in velocity to 950 or so (if possible) any ideas anyone?

Hi,

Please take a look at the leading marks of these liners:


It is evident there are no lands at the very end of the bore (EDIT: muzzle end, crown). I checked a couple of liners in multiple calibers and they are all like that. I think it may be dictated by the production process of making the rifling from the outside. They can't make the rifling to the very end because it would make a constriction there as there is no more material at the very end of the barrel - the material is from one side only so the steel would react in a different way there. However, there is no problem to remove the very end of the choke using a lathe and recrown. It is more expensive in production but can it help with precision?

If you exaggerate that the liner is like here:


What's your opinion on that?

Thanks!

New Krait (.22), to me as of Saturday (01-28) morning

This evening is four days since it was last shot by me...no change in the regulator pressure. At least as far as the tiny gauge is concerned ! Still pointing to 90bar.

Although as noted in another post, the regulator gauge needle was almost pointing to 100 (bar), as received in the mail. I "assume" that the Utah AirGuns guys did shoot it as they advertise, and it was in the mail...four days, so I really don't understand that difference. Unless it was a longer period of time since it was shot last, vs. being mailed out to me.
So, at this point, it "appears" that my gun isn't leaking, or is a much longer period of time...to leak..

Will do some chronograph testing tomorrow. Will watch the first, second and third shot speeds.
Will also put a digital gauge on it to get a better idea of the actual pressure in the rear position.

Happy with it so far.

Mike

I had almost forgotten about this particular combination of Legos.... This is one of about a half dozen different pistol/carbine configurations this kit can be configured for. Not pictured are the 12" and 16" barrels, tube extension, AR buffer tube adapter/stock and a few other odds and ends.

This one has no real use other than being loud, obnoxious, and giving reactive targets a pretty good thump.

Tell us about yours?

We can get within 12-15 yards. Will start with smaller hogs first. So out of a Hatsan Flash which caliber would maximize penetration on a head shot? The Flash is available in .177, .22 and .25.

Well, I have been shooting some JTS .22 Caliber Dead Center lead domed pellets in 18.10gr and believe me when I tell you this guys and gals, these suckers are NICE! Packed with foam top and bottom, bright clean lead with little to no deformity, screw off lid... These things are pretty cool. If you want to see them for yourselves, check out this video Airgun Angie put out from Shot Show 2023 that she is sharing on her Facebook and Instagram pages.

So far I have shot them through five different PCP's. Loaded one mag with my goto ammo which is JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy .22 Cal, 18.13 gr, and loaded a second mag with the Dead Centers in 18.10gr. The results are equal or better grouping on the same target at the same distance.

The PCPs I shot them through so far are:

• AVA Bullpup and Conventional
• Gauntlet 1
• Huben K1
• Brocock Commander
• FX Dream-Tac Compact

The distances were 50 and 75 yards and if I did not load the magazines myself I would swear I was shooting nothing other than JSB. This is going to allow a lot more shooters to afford to shoot clean well made accurate ammo.

Great so far, I'm going to do a video of these in action in a series of short videos, like 2mins each or something that showcases these things in action. I love it when something elevates our sport and saves a few bucks at the same time!

IF i show up at a FT match with a springer am i relegated to the springer only match ? May i shoot right along side PCP and compete with the pcp boys ? National champ and all ? I have heard of people doing that but does it count score/ standing wise ?
Thanks Stan

I am looking at maybe getting another tank for my truck for when I go camping and what not. Was looking around at possibly getting another tank or two, and then I came across a 9L tank. Does anyone have anything like this that they use? Would be interesting to hear what your thoughts and opinions are on the tank.

So I have seen some on the Skout Airgun - Epoch. What are the thoughts on this? It looks amazing. Little confused about the electronics and controlling the "dwell" would love some more information on the importance of it; is that the same as using a Plenum? Also, does it come with 3 different size barrels???? I saw on FB someone posted about that. Awesome piece of machinery, need it in my Airgun Arsenal!

So I'm messing with my gun, measuring differing speeds with slugs with my new found power and I decided to sling a few pellets downrange. The Seneca 43.2 grain pellets always created my best energy numbers since the was new out the box... And maybe for good reason. So I shot some and realized I have reached 110 foot pounds of energy which is insane from this gun. This brought some doubt into my mind so I decided to weight these pellets and none were much more than 40 grains it seemed so they are way overstating their product! Turns out I did however reach 102 FPE which is still crazy as I believe the gun has maybe 10 FPE left in it with a soon to come tweak. Attached are the pics of the calculations as well as a 5 shot group I shot at 33 yards with NSA 38.9 grain slugs (which measure exactly 38.9). These were running about 1020 fps on average so about 90 FPE.

Looking to do a "2 for 1" deal trading my two JST Airacuda Standard .25 and MAX .25 for a REX .50

**Edit** ....no more leaks in the guns.

I could not find a hunter carbine so I bought a standard tx and made a hunter carbine out of it. It was easy to do I cut the shroud off at the end of the barrel so there is no more baffles in the barrel,The sound seems the same to me but my ears are not that good anymore.lol. I also made a cocking aid on my lathe for it a slip on fit with loctite and its on their solid.
The rifle seemed muzzle heavy compared to my pro sport and now it feels like my pro sport and like it much better, it still shoots the same very accurate and gets better all the time I now have about 1000 pellets through it. Steve!

Thinking about purchasing a RTI Prophet II performance for my first PCP air gun. It seems like it has good power, accuracy and is ambidextrous.

Im sure I would end up doing quite a bit of hunting with it. But I plan on doing a whole lot of backyard shooting with it.

Is it possible to get it backyard quiet shooting

I have written about this rifle before, but it continues to amaze me.

Everyday, I try to fit in at least a little trigger time. This morning, before delving into the work world that allows me to pay for this hobby's requirements, I pulled my .20 caliber HW97 out of the vault, for probably the first time in three or four weeks. It has a Vortex Steel HO tuning kit in it, and the internals have all been hand polished and the trigger totally disassembled, polished, and tuned. It is always one of my most accurate rifles, including PCPs inside of 50 yards.

This morning I attempted all 15 of the RX targets as shown below. While at only 18 yards, it is really hard to run all of them without a miss. I attempted to do so this week with all of my other .177s and .20s, including an AA S510, a Weihrauch HW100T, and a BSA R10-SE, none of them made it through without at least one fringe miss.

Everything must have been right today as with this rifle, I was able to run the RX targets cleanly, knocking all of the 1/4" paddles downs with one shot each, and with authority.

I utilized the JSB 13.73 gr pellet in this rifle. It is equipped with Vortex Diamondback 5-24x50 FFP scope, sitting on to of an RWS lockdown droop compensating mount. The only other modification is the addition of a Rowan Engineering cocking handle.

An image of the rifle and 18 yard plus 50 yard tuning targets are attached for your enjoyment.

Trying to decide which.25 do buy the Gamo or the Benjamin both are break barrel the gamble is a Springer the Benjamin is gas piston please help me guys I'm going to purchase one of these today

I ended up buying a used Pro Sport, but unfortunately it is a right handed rifle and I am left handed. I bought it with the intention of finding or having a custom ambi stock made so that my kids can also shoot the AA Pro Stock.

I did a web search and saw there are some custom air rifle stock companies and I want to check and see if anyone on the forum has any recommendations for a company that you have worked with or know that did good and clean work? I see names like:

Gary Canes Gunstocks
Mad Dog Customs
Randy's Custom Rifle
AirgunStocks.com

I might even consider an OEM left handed Pro Sport stock if anyone knows where to get one. It seems like Air Arms will not ship here so I am trying to figure a resolution. Any insight is appreciated.

-PJ

Do anyone knows the answer?

Which rifle and which caliber?

I suppose that the ammo should be slugs....
