Carbon fiber wrapped tanks are actually aluminum and wrapped in CF. Fatigue is what kills HPA tanks regardless of material. Every time a tank is filled, it expands then it contracts on discharge. There is always a fatigue limit before failure occurs, hence, a use time limit. Aluminum has a lower fatigue limit than steel. Adding a CF wraps reduces the expansion and along with that strength and effective life, especially with aluminum. Another cause of failure is water. Water causes corrosion. This can be detected with the use of a borescope. a periodic proof test overpressures the wank with water and the rate of swelling is then measured against a safety standard, but this test is NOT a definitive test with CF wrapped aluminum tanks.. Enforcement of these use rules fall on the shoulders of the guy filling the tank. If that is is you, you need to pay attention and inspect your own tanks. HPA is dangerous, please pay attention and take appropriate precautions.

I finally received one of my Zulus. The LRF version showed up first of course. I wear glasses with progressive bi-focus and I could not focus on the reticle, had to dig up a single vision lens to finally get the thing dialed in. After that my progressives sufficed. All I can say is wow....so light and handy on my mutant. Very cool.

Due to the extreme heat I haven't been shooting very many cards other than one or two just before sunset occasionally. Today, it was 97F so, I decided to defrost the freezer in the garage and in the process I realized that it was quite uncomfortable as there was only a light breeze blowing. While waiting for the ice to melt I put out my wind flags and both 30 yd and 40 yd Challenge cards and then shot three 30 yd cards with my Chip Smith Sumo with my best score being 198-15X. Got the freezer going again and refilled and decided to switch to my Thomas for the 40yd card. Shot a 199-13X and decided to shoot a 30 yd Challenge with the Thomas since I hadn't shot anything other than 30 yd Masters cards with it this year. I picked a proven tin of pellets as conditions were extremely good with a very light almost steady left to right breeze and ended up with a 23X card. Forgot about the heat while shooting the last card.

Wouldn’t want to be a squirrel in your backyard. Marvin, if you ever feel like selling that old crappy Leupold 45X send me a PM.

Like new condition -- no signs of use, labels on the buttons are crisp. Record 1080p video. Used for just a couple of hours, as my ATN Thor is my primary night optic. While the Thor can't hold a candle to the X-Sight in terms of resolution and clarity, the Thor is thermal. Comes with box, 30mm rings, illuminator (IR flashlight), sunshade, and scope.. Please note that it does not come with an eyecup. I called ATN, and they said "they'd send one", but I never followed up.

Accessories are not pictured, but I can send photos of them if requested.

From ATN's website:
Ultra HD Optics with the ATN Revolutionary Ultra HD Day/Night Sensor gives you an incredibly crisp picture from any distance

Great shooting Tommy. One of the issues I had with my Caiman when it was new was the cover over the pressure gauge kept falling off. Finally I looked at it closely and it was obvious the laminated wood stock was pushing the cover off the gauge. A little sanding like you describe for your fill issue and that issue was permanently resolved. My more long standing hobby is woodworking so that sort of issue is much more minor for me than things like figuring out why a regulator doesn't work properly. But it's fun to learn new things too.

Thanks Jim!

“Tim the Tool Man,“ I am not.

I’m 71 years old and this is the 2nd time in my life using my new Dremmel. The guy at ACE Hardware gave me the idea earlier in the day while I was asking about using a round wood file.

I didn’t realize the power or RPMs this thing could muster and I accidentally chipped a small piece of stock around this nipple hole. Fortunately, it faces the bottom and no one sees it. However, the Dremmel was the exact right tool for fixing the Royale.

But, it always makes me feel like a million bucks when I can fix/try something myself vs. send a gun out to have it repaired. Usually, I accidentally screw it up, then send it out but I at least give it a try first.

I actually get a bigger kick from challenging my ‘ insecurity ‘ and fixing my AG once in a while vs, posting a good score.

Silly hobby altogether…

True, but that's because in some nations rifled barrels were not permitted. In occupied Germany the rifling was forbidden for potential military use reasons.
Actually some very early post war barrels are stamped "gez", indicating rifling.

Gez - Gesetzlich Geschützt or ges gesch -legally protected. This is a patent stamp of the 3rd Reich (not used after the war) and has nothing to do with rifled barrels.

...someone should correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the HW50 "V" was the improved model in that the barrel was rifled, the very first having been smooth bore.
The smooth bore was because in the immediate post war period rifled barrels were too accurate, and so too similar a really frightening gadget like an MG42?
So I'm not sure if the HW50V was really the first?

You are mistaken, smoothbore barrels were produced before the war in the late 1930s. Zenith, Diana, CZ and even IZH installed smoothbore barrels in parallel with rifled ones on the same models. Most likely, this was due to the cost of production, everyone could choose a barrel according to their budget.

I've seen H&N pellets wrapped like that.

I bought a Gauntlet 2 in .25 and it’s been very good. The hand pump gives plenty of exercise but I’m well under $500 purchasing through the classifieds here.

Welcome!! I got back into airguns a few years ago with my old Crosmans, had them rebuilt. Twenty something guns later I have multiples bought with a purpose in mind. If you have a general shooting distance in mind work around that. I have two Gauntlets in .25 that would do well out to 70 yards or so that I’ve tested at that range. Got a couple break barrels that would work. I have a restored Crosman 150 in .22 that gives about 50 rounds on a pair of CO2 cartridges. All of these would work and require minimal support gear so less crap to haul around. There’s no end to the possibilities but bankruptcy could be a problem. You’ll be able to deal with the problem at hand and have a lot of fun doing it.
