I love my 14 round 177 mags in my HW100s. Fast/easy to load, you can see bad skirts, takes a while to shoot 14.
Easily the best mag I ever used in an air rifle.

I was never good enough to warrant a "better rifle". I shot a lot of 100/200m offhand, ages ago. Nothing short of inertial guidance would have bettered my scores. There's a lot of psychology in shooting offhand. Once your confidence starts leaning on "I need new stuff", it is hard not to feed the monster.

That said, I started out shooting cheap 'user grade' equipment. It was hard to recognize when my abilities exceeded the equipment. It was also hard to recognize when my abilities peaked and equipment no longer mattered. I have spent too much money on better equipment...but I had a lot of fun doing it!

No idea tbh, depends on what pressure/speed your target is I guess. To be honest sounds odd that you’re valve locked at 100bar but based on speed dropping with more reg it seems like it… I’d get the huma set with the two weights. Also make sure that the internal hammer adjuster screw is safe at home.

What do you mean by the internal screw?

Not today, but yesterday. I got a Caldwell Stable Table BR . Got it set up and the three adjusters vs one on the original is excellent, Makes it easy to adjust level on an uneven surface which I have. Larger wood table is nice. It is overall larger and much heavier than the original.

I really like the Combros, and actually have 5. One I bought direct from the source many years ago, one was new old stock from a Canadian vendor, and three came off of eBay in the US. Two of those have been shot, and someday if I get bored, I will see if I can combine them to get another working one. They appear to be VERY repeatable, but they don't agree very well, so the absolute velocity is suspect. As long as you are VERY careful to align them, and can live with some absolute velocity uncertainty, they are still pretty nice. Some people claim they lose velocity when the batteries aren't fresh, but I haven't explored that.

Besides some additional testing with a couple of my most stable air pistols (fortunately, I have about 50 to chose from...), I may get a Nate just to use as my "gold standard" to evaluate the others I've got.

I'm somewhat confident in saying I've most likely shot through more chronographs than any person - because I live shoot calibrate every unit that is made.
I cannot stress enough how critical mounting is - it has taken many, MANY iterations, design updates and testing to get even a simple mount/test rig that works well to the accuracy i demand.
Something like a combro would benefit from a large/high-grip surface area with strong bands to ensure it doesnt move. Target pistol should be ok - maybe a strip of rubber to make sure between the unit & barrel for grip.

This is only for muzzle mounted units - although if a chrony is on a table which is moving/wobbling, the same will most likely apply. Careful on things like blast from air blast or powder burners.
I've been able to demonstrate something like a vibration will introduce a ~5-10fps error @ 1,000fps, larger sensor spacing will be much more

I have an Fx Wildcat MK3 BT in .25 cal. It has both 500mm and 700mm barrels, as well as 300cc tank and 580cc tanks. 700mm barrel has slug liner and carbon fiber sleeve installed. Saber tactical rail underneath. Helix 4-16x44 ffp, Donny FL KOI and FX moderator, 3 magazines.

10 tins of king heavy and 10 tins of standard kings included.

I am the second owner, it Was previously set up to shoot slugs with high flow probe. I had Utah air guns tune it down to shoot standard and heavy pellets.

YouTube video of it with the 700mm barrel installed and tuned for 41gr zan slugs.

It looks like it has a slight leak as it’s just over 50bar currently but it has sat for nearly 2 years so it’s not a bad leak. I just never shoot any more and could use the money.

Asking $1600 as is, split shipping. May be willing to separate certain items but would prefer selling all together. Motivated seller let’s make a deal!

Avator · Apr 22, 2025

LOL... you think loading mags is bad... try casting pellets. It takes a heck of alot more time to cast than to shoot.

Is there anywhere in the US to get a nice brass trigger guard for a Pro Sport/TX200? Only thing I'm seeing is from Rowan. Thanks.

No idea. I have one along with a brass end for the cocking rod on my TX200 from Rowan. Very fine workmanship and finish.

Hi guys. I want to trade my .177 500mm barrel for a 600mm barrel .22 or .177 are both fine. For impact.
Thanks.

Yes it is a rifle scope. I only put it on to mockup and see if a pp750 rear scope dove tail would work. I end up using a fixed 4X scope with parallax adjustment down to 5 yards, it has 7-9'' eye relief, so a Taco hold is required.

That looks very nice now…did you happen to see the dovetail to picatinny adapters I posted…I ordered a new Factory case last one in stock for all my accessories..should be here soon…Sited in all aiming devices…did a quick dismount and mount nothing changed spot on…here’s a preview of the Rattler…

Bought this during covid but never got much use out of it. Definitely a solid airgun and a fun shooter.
In excellent condition with the box, manuals, etc. All 6 brass cartridges to hold the pellets included, of course.
This is the battlefield finish model, so it has a worn greyish look.
6" barrel makes for a nice long sight radius and with the simple, but pronounced sights, you can't go wrong.
Trigger pull is consistent and smooth.

$100 shipped OBO
Please message with any questions.

delooper · Apr 22, 2025

I think the other answers are more to your point. But in general if you want higher velocities you want a longer barrel and/or more air pressure and/or lighter projectiles. Depending on your current setup one might be more relevant than another, for example if you don't have enough air pressure, extra barrel length won't do anything for you.

curious how you like the two colts.. especially comparing the John Wayne to the Schofield.. interested in hearing about the 1911 too.. good bad whatever you think.. plinking for me is empty tin food cans..on the 1911 does it have a follower lock open for fighting with the tiny BB loading?
I suppose while you are replying, maybe what you think about the crossman 357 as well.. nice selection.
your welcome to PM me if you want
Mark

I’ll sure try to test and will share . At my age I can’t waste time! Charles

Huma. Tungsten is for very high pressure, like 150-160b. Otherwise your just smacking your valve to bits.

any specific weight?

Told ya! Great guns! What happened with your FPS problem you posted about yesterday? I assume you got it figured out judging by your targets.
It might help others if you'd post the remedy for yesterday's FPS problem (on the fps post, of course).

I tried some new pellets in the rifle checked to make sure the gauge on the rifle was accurate (had to tweak my chronograph as well rifle does still shoot a tad low and slower for the first 15 shots or so then evens out and stays around 880 ish I’ll need to look at the regulator eventually most likely but for now I’m happy. Will probably try some different slugs (20 grain and bellow) and see how they work for now I’m sticking with the 18 grain jsb/fx pellets

trapdoor2 · Apr 22, 2025

Having just started this airgun thing last week (well, like many, I wore out a Crosman 760 as a kid), I seem to be getting packages from the Brown Truck, the White Truck and the Postman on a daily basis. First there was the .25 M-rod, synthetic...then a hand pump, pellets, Maple magazines and single loader, scope (my vintage Unertls won't fit...), etc., etc. Tomorrow I should be getting some O-rings in an attempt to tame the hammer bounce (I'm just starting to tune). Still waiting for a quiet delivery from Buck Rail.

Now I probably need a Chrono. I found my ancient Pact (in storage since the late 1990s) but I haven't attempted resuscitation...yet. I did find the skyscreens...

Back to the KWC P08 today.
Like the real thing, this has heaps of moving parts so I drown it in grease and oil.
Initially the accuracy was a bit disappointing but after switching to Barra Zinc Plated BBs I'm seeing 1" groups at 10 yards with a fresh cartridge. Much better now.

All these Lugers eventually suffer from the dreaded "loose barrel shroud" issue, Fortunately this is easily fixed by gluing the shroud in place with JB Weld.
I got a few extra mags for rapid firing ... swapping out a mag after 10 shots to let it warm up again.

Not sure if this makes any difference, but .... before I load a new cartridge I add the requisite drop of oil to the top of the cartridge AND add another drop straight into the valve (by depressing the valve by hand. Again, *before* tightening the cartridge).
