All my fill whips are Microbore. Have two 39” hoses from Joe B and/or AoA. Air Tanks Plus makes custom lengths up to six feet if needed. All are high quality and pricey, which I don’t mind because it’s HPA.

For my range set up, I need the longer hoses from the shooting bench. Without the eZaY fill trigger, and topping off my guns 8-10 times on average, bleeding the tank that much wastes a lot of air. Both Ed (epg) and I marvel at how much air is saved by using this thing ‘when’ it works. I know because my intervals of having to go to my Dive Shop are longer now using the eZaY.

I agree with others that quality can be much better, especially for $150. I do see your point if I could use a 12” hose, but I need 36-39” at the range. My tank stands up beside my bench.

If it breaks again, I’ll say ‘Uncle’ and put the next $30 towards my 1st new compressor.

save for a compressor ..i just got an Omega air charger ..an old model, but very easy to work on
I didn't know you had to travel 90 min round trip to fill up...as much as we shoot..a compressor is a valid purchase
this is the whip i have for the bench

High Pressure Microbore Air Hose - TopGun-Airguns

40″ or 80″ in length with strain relief on both sides protect against kink. This is our best selling hose! Be sure to select the right configuration for your setup. ex: FQD x FQD will be female quick disconnects on both sides MQD = Male Quick Disconnect FQD = Female Quick Disconnect

Needless to say, free advice is usually worth what you pay for it. But that said, in my opinion, you should not modify a DONNYFL product. Donnie knows what he's doing and don't think you know more about it than he does. That said, my only experience with three. Airacuda Maxs, and reports from numerous others the crown on those guns is usually defective, and or the alignment of the barrel in the shroud is not correct. Defective guns should be returned to the manufacturer for warranty replacement. If you want to Fat Boy, which I really liked because it's adaptable easily to multi caliber out of the box and it's very effective on most of my guns. If you're interested in buying the fat boy, send me a private message or call me at 646 450 1515

From my experiences the difference in accuracy from a deformed pellet is negligible. I am sure if you are shooting competitively there could be sufficient variance to cause issues. Then again if you are shooting competitively I am reasonably certain we be having this convo, you would use perfectly formed pellets just for peace of mind.

Some gas piston guns are harder than their spring counter parts. I think the piston mass might be more important than propulsion method. At 15 fpe an Airmax should be fine. I have like seven or eight of them. So far they're the most durable springer scopes I've found. I've had them survive my RX1 gas gun at 24 fpe.

I am new to Air Rifles. I would like your feed back on recommended first gun. I would like to semi auto used for target practice or hunting. I have been told FX would be the way to go, but no semi auto. I am looking to more of a tactical style. I would appreciate input.

Good advice from all. I'll add IF , you are dead set on a semi, don't discount the Evanix line . The triggers on most semi guns are what they are , "semi triggers".
Veradium Airguns offers guns with adjustable triggers now & they are good people . My AirSpeed is plenty accurate & has a good shot count, but the trigger is
not what I want, someday I'll send it to Brian at V A to have it updated. And, the GX compressors are top notch. I carry a hand pump with me as a field backup.

I've only had mine a couple weeks. Been shooting the 30s since last August. It sure is a lot more work like every has said. Now to make up my mind on a 95 or 97
Also mine is spot on open sights at 10-out to 15 meters. Got lucky maybe but the 30 was too. The FP AG rear sight by Williams works on both.

I have both the 95 and 97. I actually have four 95 family guns and nine other Weihrauchs. My 97K is my least used rifle. It's porky weight and clunky loading keep it in it's case. I shoot seated at a table and maneuvering it's weight to load every shot is less endearing than my lighter rifles.

The accuracy on my 177 97 is excellent but then again so is the accuracy on my 177 95. They flip flop being the 50 yard top dog. It really comes down to which one has a better working tin of pellets.

Lo siento, el inglés no es mi lengua materna y uso Google Translate.
Internet está lleno de vídeos de personas que intentan demostrar cómo las deformaciones de los perdigones afectan la precisión; pocos vídeos realizan realmente la prueba científicamente.Vídeos basura que sólo te hacen perder el tiempo, o un salvavidas para los tiradores perezosos que quieren la salida fácil y para que otros les den información que, por pura lógica, no pueden or want.
Un pellet sólo necesita tener:
Peso consistente.
Perfecta concentricidad entre la cabeza y la falda.
El tamaño de la cabeza debe ser lo más idéntico posible.
La aleación no debe ser ni demasiado dura ni demasiado blanda, para que pueda ajustarse y replicar el estriado del cañón.
Y las faldas no deben estar terriblemente dañadas. Un ajuste perfecto entre la cabeza del balín y el cañón es más importante que una falda dañada. El ajuste de la cabeza copiará y guiará el balín a través del cañón, saliendo en línea recta. Su concentricidad lo hará volar en línea recta, y su falda sellará el paso del aire al cañón y le dará el empuje de salida. Si el plomo es demasiado duro y el faldón está muy dañado, no cederá al chorro de aire y no se sellará correctamente. Por otro lado, si el plomo es relativamente más blando, cederá al chorro de aire y se sellará mejor. Es pura lógica, no hay que andarse con rodeos. Ahora bien, si clasifica los pellets uno por uno y descarta los que no te gustan por cualquier motivo te da confianza, adelante. Aquí hay un video grabado en un laboratorio, usando baja potencia y probablemente a 10 metros. Los resultados a esa distancia son muy claros. A mayor distancia, mayor apertura de los impactos.

Happy, so happy to share - Katran Compact in .22, oh Yeah! Will try to make this short. I'm down to just one pcp, the L2 350mm in .22. So, I convinced the wife to go from a HW30 springer to the PCP world. Watched the AN classifieds and picked up a fine excellent example of the Katran. Finally, between work, storms, neighbors, and mosquitoes ... just zeroed in with CPHPs. Oh my, this thing is on par if not better than my first pcp, Taipan Veteran 1 Compact in .22. Honestly, I passed really early on when looking at the Katran for my first PCP - odd looking tadpole thing with a potentially wobbly folding stock. I have come away with the same girlish giggly experience I had with my past Vet. I was practically stacking pellets! Now, can't wait for the wife to get out of bed and try out HER first pcp. The Katran Compact with the Optisan scope ... potent combo. I try to do most of my PCP outfitting and research right here on AN and buy in the classifieds for many reasons. Thank you AN community! Norm PS I want it for myself.

Hold up...
Did I read that right? Did they recommend to bleed it off after filling the gun? Do they mean bleed the whip between the tank and the EZ? If so, would that not defeat the purpose of the dang thing in the first place?
I must admit... I was one that got suckered into buying an original for $180. If I'm in that big of a hurry to refill the gun and continue shooting I'll just leave the tank tethered.
As for wasting air... that's why I own compressors.

Maybe I should offer mine up in the classifieds.

No, please read my very first post.

I connect the EZaY fill from my GW and can fill the same gun ( or several others also) as many times as I want “without“ bleeding it after each fill. Here’s an example:

So, I connect my fill hose with EZaY from GW to foster male on my gun. Fill 6-8 times from my regulator setting or higher to desired max fill range. At end of session, I bleed GW ONE time.

Just like in Steve’s AEAC video.

Does that clarify?

I filled my Gk1 to 32 mpa and let it sit for four days it leaked to 28 mpa. I did the same thing with my other Gk1, it has held at 32mpa. I checked the brass screw underneath the loading gate and there doesn’t appear to be leaking there. Where else should I check?

Buy a can of aerosol leak checker and start spraying around the ends of air tubes, fill points, and if those show nothing put a balloon on the barrel.

HW97 .177 , expertly tuned down to 11.6 FPE by Tony in PA. I only take brain shots , otherwise they get a pass , till later . Now i want to get my HW77 long tuned to around 10 FPE in .22 . ( wish it was a .20 that would be a dream to have )

Contndr35BB · Jun 19, 2025

Well , anyway , it was a nice shot! We have collared doves listed in a Pa bird book . I've never seen any. They are listed as game birds here so no pellet(or slug) poppin' on them

Question about wiring: the wire from the “control box” has three wires: blue, brown and yellow with green stripe. Blue and brown connected directly to double pole 30 amp breaker in panel. The yellow wire? Does it connect to the white wire (in panel) (neutral)or direct to earth ground?
I just updated my sub panel in my house with 3 conductors and ground wire. Neutral and earth ground are separated in my sub panel but are connected at meter box outside 40’ away.

Welldone · Jun 19, 2025

Kinda funny to me……… it’s like learning a “ new” word and now EVERYBODY is saying it. This is definitely a first world problem. 2 bits, 4 bits,6 bits a dollar, everybody stand up and holler!!!!!!! What’s some OTHER great tools folks have for airgun work?

Seem like super nice guns. Did they stop making it in the blue laminate stock ? Don’t seem to be able to find that version anywhere.

The HW97k is one of my favorite Weihrauch rifles. Highly recommended. I have seen the laminate stock models offered occasionally at different vendors. Krale and Mundilar will have them in stock, set an email notification. I think I received three or four notifications on different models last year.

Another route is Custom Stocks UK.

I just picked up a pre-owned Rex P in 9mm/.357. Can you suggest some moderators to quiet it down??
Thanks.
Good Shootin!!

I love my .357 rex P... got a used one here years ago. That thing is loud without a moderator that's for sure. I ended up getting one made by Neil Clague - very reasonable price and high-quality.

When I have recovered pellets that did not get crushed by impact the ballooning of the skirt was obvious - clear to see that the skirt was pressed flat against the barrel

GerryR · Jun 19, 2025

Lee Precision - 90036 SIZING DIE KIT .225 These are for sizing lead bullets. You may have to modify the end of the punch to fit within the skirt, but it will round out and size the pellets. I do some reloading and have kits for what I reload. I made a sizing die for the pellets modeled after the Lee dies, the diameter ending up at .2245 and works quite well. I never tried shooting damaged or deformed pellets, so I don't know if there is an improvement or not; just thought it wasn't a good idea to shoot deformed pellets.

I own 2 Tuxings, the one the left I have had 4 years and the one the right over 2 years and serves as a back and i do every 2 months switch the one im using so i can do Maintenace, change oil if needed, check air filter ect.Parts i get on Ebay. I have rebuilt the one on the right, both will out produce the gx cs2. With any compressor you have to pay attention to temps and oil break down. So, I guess it comes down to if you're filling a pcp ( gx-cs2) or tanks -Tuxing
