N/A  QD Fox magazines: User opinions

I wasn't going to address the "similar" design of Fox mags to Orion. I think it is no coincidence, and I belive Orion has done a ton of work providing original designs. You shouldn't need to spend a lot of time and money protecting your own work. As airgun enthusiasts we should respect each other's work.
They may look the same but they certainly do not load the same. Orion mags, that I own for my Prophet are not easy to load and the internal disc must be rotated precisely to reveal each hole to insert a pellet through the hole in the outer plate. While my AGT (FOX) mags have a removable top cover, held in place by magnets. Once the outer ver has been removed the mag internal wheel is rotated until it stops, drop a pellet in to hole to hold it in place, then fill all the other holes easily. I prefer the Fox mags to the OEM AGT mags, for ease of loading and they function flawless.

2025 N50 here I come (Raton, NM)

In August I will be heading to Raton, New Mexico for the National N50 benchrest contest. I was able to attend the first two events, then missed the next two due to Life.

I just finished making plans for this year and got some practice in. Light wind was enough for me to re-learn the flags. 3 cards scored with the plug (usually for practice I score myself raw with the pellet hole). Have some room for further improvement. When I can shoot raw and get these scores, I will feel accomplished.



245 13x

249 15x

249 16x



The contest pits the very best pellet guns, slug guns and .22lr rimfire guns against each other in a multiple day, multiple heat match up. This is a Marathon type of event, not a sprint through two cards while the wind is behaving to see who is the luckiest in lane draw and time slots.
Good luck Jim

Custom slugs

I love powder coating my slugs for a custom touch.....I have had good luck with it in .22 cal and .510 in hand lapped lother walther barrels...At night the powder coat pills look like traces through digital night vision...I love watchin the trace to impact...Like a little kid...Call them what ever you want...Swage slugs the highest quality...

Why does FX come out with so many different rifles ?

External adjust regs ... Convenient sure, Required NO.

Such thinking follows the tend in cars the last 3 decades for bells & whistles, do dags and gag-gits .... Costs go up, reliability & serviceability goes down.

Just because something is built and marketed does not mien its actually any better or that you really need it .... buy into marketing of the latest & greatest new thing is whats wrong with much in this crazy world we're living in.
Sure makes playing with various pellets and slugs to see what reg pressure each likes a lot simpler.

Saves a lot of time, no degassing or disassembly required. 3mm hex and on to the next reg pressure.

Let’s say an easier way of adjusting reg pressure without disassembling the gun. Too much trial and error. And I don’t want to buy a reg pressure tester.

HYPER VELOCITY NOTOS... DEVASTATING EFFECTS ON DOVE! Slow motion vid

Good job! How did you tune down your Notos? Hammer spring only?
Turned down the regulator 1-2/3 turns on the reg and cut 4 coils off of the stock hammer spring. Originally turned it down 1-1/2 turns on the reg and cut 3 coils off and got this result on the chrono.

Then I wanted to get it down a bit more so I cut another coil off and turn down the regular bit more to get the JSB 15.89's down to 429fps / 6.5fpe.

Crosman  Vapormax

Ok guys my Vapormax came in today so I wanted to do a little review. First thoughts are the stock feels pretty solid for it being all plastic it does shoulder well and the pump arm doesn't seem to flex much. The action and magazines are a little sticky but I'm sure they will smooth out as I shoot it more. The trigger is a little heavy averaging 5.7 lbs but does break well and is not overly long. Pumping is pretty easy to 5 pumps but not too heavy at 10.
Ok now to the shooting, my house is at 7000' (2133m) so all my air guns except my pcp and co2 guns have a velocity disadvantage but I can say this gun shoots accurately and pretty hard here are some velocities with a few pelles,
Gamo Platinum 5.4gn
2 pumps 546.3
5 pumps 790.4
10 pumps 916.5
Max Energy 10.074 ft lb

Crosman premier 7.9gn
2 pumps 414.9
5 pumps 626.6
10 pumps 771.8
Max Energy 10.451

Meisterkugeln 7gn
2 pumps 468.8
5 pumps 662.4
10 pumps 807.9
Max Energy 10.147

JSB Exact Heavy 10.34gn
2 pumps 443.5
5 pumps 610.3
10 pumps 695.2
Max Energy 11.099

Here's some targets shot at 15 yards with 5 pumps and open sights straight out of the box

So far I'm really liking this, I will be putting a scope on it so more accuracy testing to come.

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

Thanks for the recs, I would rather support someone like the buck rails guys, but this looks great, where did you get the adapter for the moderator, and the rail system for the optics?
Amazon for the muzzle adapter and for the dovetail-weaver adapter. Otherwise the gun got a steel breech and 22 barrel when I found the original 177 to be badly rust damaged.

JTS  JTS at SHOT Show 2025!

They seem to have a PCP with a colorful stock.
What is so special about that?

I have the Airacuda Max (in 2 calibers) and had to fix them on my own when they were brand new.
One was leaking through the valve stem connection.
The other one, the air leaked from the tube into the regulator and the regulator gauge showed the tank pressure in about 5 minutes.

After I fixed them I like them.
The build quality is really good for the price.
