FX  Interesting find with Orior magazine for Crown

bchannell
Hadn't had much time to mess the the mag lately, and got home tonite and fired off a few rounds through the Crown. This must be the first time I tried groups with the Orion, numerous fliers all over the place. We're talking an inch off the groups at 33 yards.

I've always thought the mag was wound way to tight, soooooo. First, I fired two groups using FX mag...both one holers, same ammo, etc.

Next, I disassembled the Orion and moved the spring a couple notches in the post and lightened it considerably. It still reliably moves pellets, but it's dark now and I can't test it, but I'm betting this thing will be right up there with the FX mags now.

I'll report back tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get home in time I can actually take some pics of the results.

Got my Old U2 177 back, I had her doing 45fpe with 20.9gr priledrivers (1000fps and 40-41fpe with other slugs. She is currently set to 33.8fpe from the member I sold it too and shooting amazingly.

Also I ordered an Impact M4 .22 600mm and a Notos.

I believe the Notos comes with the foster fitting. Now I’m concerned and will need to find Something else that makes the set up work. Any ideas??

You could just leave the whip attached to the gun once it's on if you're shooting from a fixed position.

There are guns that have springless rotary magazines too (Taipan for example) which would be much easier to load if that is an issue. You might have to shop around to find something that fits your shooting needs and price point

N/A  Advice on portable shooting table

Blueduck said:
I use a Caldwell portable table and really like it. I have only used it on grass/dirt and like to push the feet into the soil a bit. Has worked great. Not a solid as a concrete or wood constructed monster bench but in my opinion a good value for the dollars.

I have that same table. Don't leave it out in the Texas sun. Mine is not flat any more. I find it a little less stable than I would like too, but I think it is just the price you pay for portablility and easy storage.

Crosman  Best mods to make 1322 quieter and easier to pump?

6
slickmamba said:
Was hoping to keep it under $200-250, I'll be keeping my eye on the members marketplace here for good deals too. I just thought .22 would be more humane/stopping power, and potentially quieter(at least on the breaknecks we started off with).

Yes definitely headshots only. I will probably make another post later about budget quiet PCPs(storm rider, gamo arrow, urban, flash, etc). Pumping and breakneck is too hard for my dad to do, so I don't mind hand pumping a PCP every week or so for him.

Buy him a Shoebox clone off Amazon? theyre sub 200 dollars now.

EDgun  Edgun Leshiy 2 Raven Incoming, need recommendations...

Kgb1024 said:
I have an Edgun Leshiy 2 Raven in .25 cal, incoming. This is going to be my main Iguana getter out to 70 yards . I need recommendations on a few items:
1. Scope- I am looking for a compact second focal plane, MOA Reticle, good eye relief, and ir if possible scope. I am looking at the GPO CENTURI 4-16x44i, but it's so long.
2. A good set of rings, for the scope. Preferably, a QD rail mount 3. Does anyone carry the Leshiy 2 by sling? If so, do you prefer a dual point sling or. a single point and which one? Thanks in advance, I know these questions have been asked a thousand times because I have been researching scopes for a week, now I want real world experience.

Any luck? I have the same set of questions

Yeah, I can't imagine using a foster w one hand since often it's a struggle w two. It's the little details that can make something that should seem to be super easy really be not so much.

Loading a spring forwarding magazine might be a struggle for the OP too. Not sure about the Notos, but the Marauder mag is definately not the easiest to load.

N/A  i have been in the Chaser rabbit hole for a very long and found some new grips

6
I want to see what you can do with wood, ive got a feeling it would be really cool.

I've made many grips/stocks . You can get away with as little as an angle grinder with a flap disc and a rat tail file and hand sanding. The one below was just that. It's the only Pic I could find but they're way more contoured, as well as the metallic frame blended to match.

Maybe print some with wood filament and sand it in 😁

OP, what is making you want a red dot and not a scope? Just my curiosity since I’m in the rabbit hole market too.
Click to expand...
The only thing that makes me want the red dot is I’ve never had one. I have a scope that I will put on as soon as I get the pistol, but I’d like to try red dot to see what it is all about.

That makes sense. I’m going to have to look into those.

Crosman  Best mods to make 1322 quieter and easier to pump?

slickmamba said:
Hey guys, I've been looking for a gun to get my dad to help with his pest problem. He's done traps and everything but some of the rats and squirrels just dont go for them. He is in a very urban setting so the gun needs to be quiet. I got him a hatsan airtract, and a umatrex prymex but it was too much for him to get cocked and too loud even after cleaning the barrel.

We tried the crossman and its hard for him to get up to 10+ pumps, but maybe with some mods it could be more manageable. For mods, something that makes the pumping easier, or that gets more power out of each pump would be ideal, he would mostly be shooting fairly close 5-15m and for rats, gophers, squirrels. And obviously a moderator/suppressor(still not really sure the difference), to quiet it down. I've seen Buck Rail seems to be the go to for that side. I saw the post yesterday about the adjustable flat top and valve to increase power, so will look into that as well and whatever other recs you all have.

I've also considered some budget PCP and hand pump like a storm rider, or a refurb hatsan or something. Thanks AGN!

As for noise, a chinesium muzzle block to 1/2 unf is worth it. As for lumping effort, maybe a flat top valve and piston but it will be the same calories. Fewer more strenuous pumps, or more less strenuous pumps.

I'd explore lighter pellets and see how few pumps you can get away with. It only takes 1.5 fpe to take a rat iirc.

Shot 1 takes my tank from 4500 to 3500. Shot 2 drops it another 1000psi. The real problem with this is placement of shot two has dropped 4-6 inches. It only gets worse with every shot

Ya I have found that light slugs are the only way to work around it so far.. I'm trying some other things to see if I can get so closer shots at 100 yards

Tuning  .177 vs .22 shotcount

6
JimD said:
In my guns, it is not precisely true that using a heavier projectile, with no other changes, produces the same fpe. If you said "within 1 fpe" I would agree, however. I shot a lot yesterday using my P35-22 using mostly 18 grain projectiles but also 21 grain. The 21 grain fpe was a little more than half a foot pound greater. From a practical standpoint I would agree they are the same. But not exactly. With a wider difference in weight I would expect to see a little more difference but still not much.
Click to expand...
Only my impact does that, probably due to having the barrel length to use the air dose and a valve adjuster to help tame valve dwell. . The 22 disco I'm working on had the same tune this morning and shot 20 fpe with a 15.89 and 30 fpe with a 25 grain. Granted there 2ae a large velocity penalty and the heavies didn't group well.

Let's just say I look at my guns that are properly tuned for efficiency as fpe devices(within reason). So long as the propellant charge and duration is timed correctly you can have some fun with correlating numbers.
