AEA  My gun oozes silicone oil sometimes

Many people don't understand that grease is not super thick oil. Grease is composed of a carrier (functions like a sponge) to hold the lubricant such as oil, at least that is simple way to begin to understand grease.

When one is specifiying a lubricant, the characteristics of the carrier (such as a lithium soap, clay, or other material) impacts the temperature range, and many other factors. Ditto the oil component that dictates the pressure tolerance.

The correct silicone grease is suitable for high loading applications. A factor often overlooked is that grease can protect metal surfaces better than oil because it can be formed into an enduring barrier. Depending on the grease or oil, either one can absorb water, acids or other contaminents.

One downside of grease is that it is more difficult to remove in order to remove trapped contaminents.

Technical professionals will know that understanding lubricants can be a life's work, but if one simply consults the manufacturer's specifications (gun/mechanism and lubricant) for a proper match.

It can be a disservice to consider greases, or oils as having one characteristic.

Which would youchoose - Diana Bandit .177 or combo .22 vs Marauder .22vsUmarex Notos .22UPDATE: NOTOS FOR THE WIN! Which Red Dot?

Notos....small, light, compact, regulated, quiet and accurate right out of the box with many after market mods/parts available. Way over your budget would be an HW44....
You have many good points 😄👍👍

Being a bolt action, def not the Marauder if you're only using one hand to do all that

I'd probably go w the Notos. That lever looks less challenging.

A fill probe may or may not be easier...I think a foster fitting is probably a two handed deal for most of us

FX  Huma introduced a good trigger for mk2 and M3

I can confidently say this is the best trigger available for the MK2 and M3. I’ve been using it at the range for the past two weeks, and the performance is outstanding.


I installed mine the day afther it was released. Be aware that installation does require some work, so I strongly recommend reading the manual carefully beforehand and making sure you have a solid understanding of how a trigger functions.
There"s a bug in this upgrade. If it's in safe and you push the grey square it wil fire.
Huma already send mails out about this. This is being fixed right now. During that time the trigger was marked as sold out on Huma to prevent sales.

If you have bought the trigger, you will get the modified or new parts for free.

GK1 .30 Cal and Mini Configuration Pre-Order Now

then why bother.. if you don't have price or spec's and it's coming soon you don't have it..
on top of that , they might think it's coming soon but maybe not, nowadays..
so keep the adds for things that are available or don't bother us because now I'm very likely not interested in doing business with the company..
at least pyramid air put out a video on how to look at the availability of their products and have a guess as when it's coming or if it is not even on order..
pyramid air really should have someone monitor their website and just take down items that are not currently available and are not currently on order..
mark
I found the old email and Here's what Kraz said "
Huben emailed saying dealers could order the items starting mid September. They did not say when they would be completed or shipping anything in .30

Dealers are assuming once they buy it Huben can ship within a month and to me that is very presumptuous based on Huben’s track record

Hello... I hate to ping you again but I sent my last ally the compressors forgetting to add this.
I apologize as sometimes I can be long winded. Also, being new and green, I jump on any chance I can get to ask a few questions.
In this case, Day/Night scopes, especially with recording options are super super cool. I just wonder how much advantage you get versus just lighting up the target zone?
I really struggle with the price points on scopes. For my Avenger Bullpup I went with the CVLife 2-10x32 MPVO AO Rifle. It's 9" long which I wanted to trim. AO is a must. It's illuminated. Price: $100.
It came with a single piece cantilever mount which was perfect on my Avenger Bullpup 2. One thing,. It is a 1/2 MOA not the typical 1/4. Otherwise it's crisp and clean. It's held zero spot on so far, maybe 200 shots?
I just can't get a clean answer why spend big money on the scope. I know we need good or even great but the $1500 super top tier, why?
From my recent self education and research, it seems the price point of $200-$300 gets the very most bang for buck. After that, big dollar steps for very small sometimes not noticable features.
Getting the etched reticle, high quality glass, high end components, side parallax adjustment, repeatable/nice click turrets.
This didn't touch on the rings, even more puzzling than the optic itself.
Anyway, just my (probably naive) thoughts.

Thanks so much for listening I'm sure I'll get these pieces put together someday. For now, I absolutely love my setup.

Benchrest rifle

You're missing my point that I read conversations about poi shifts on FX guns all the time too, and they still win all the time. The problem certainly isn't specific to the Avenge-X. I had read the list of guns, once, when C'cut checked if she had used an aftermarket barrel, because everyone thought that surely she had, and there wasn't another low end gun there. The question of the thread was if there was any good inexpensive benchrest rifles, winning being good, I have only heard of this one.
The POI shifts on FX guns can be addressed with O-rings to reduce harmonics or a carbon fiber liner which straightens and stiffens the barrel. Those barrels can also be indexed to reduce left and right errors. The same barrels are used on their less expensive guns that are used with the high dollar ones. Nothing is more frustrating than having your gun dialed in only to watch the next impacts move an inch at 50yds. But you point that an Avenge-X won a competition is correct, a good shooter with a so-so gun is better than a so-so shooter with a good gun. At 100yds with a pellet, you better have your scope mounted correctly and that bubble on your level centered.

N/A  Buying O-Rings

Trying to purchase specific o-rings for FX Dynamic without out purchasing entire kit or ordering 75 pieces to reach a certain $ amount some I don't even see listed by Captain O-ring or the O-ring store....very frustrating any help would be appreciated
Utah Airguns will sell you a single
o-ring for 3 or more dollars plus shipping, you might be better off ordering from https://www.oringsandmore.com/

You usually have to order a bag of 100 but most o-rings are 1 to 4 cents each and shipping is reasonable.

Like I mentioned, I really am green so I'm hesitant to actually recommend much. That said, my auction site (Macbid) constantly has returned or overstock compressors. They're almost always the compact shoebox size. Various "Brands" Vevor, Spiritech, ...
These are $175-$225 retail. I grabbed 3 of them. First was $40, Second $38, last I got a smaller yet for $16. All of them are flawless. I wouldn't trust on a larger tank but for the rifle, perfect. The last was only because I was looking to buy a new flex tube with filter. Got the whole unit with tube for the $16.
Idk when the OP lives but this bidding app I have is really great. For $7 you can get insurance for a no questions asked return. Can also register the mfg warranty.
Any luck here will save ya $200-$250 towards the rifle. Macbid is limited in certain areas but I'm sure others exist.
Good luck
