N/A  GK1 slow leak

@rcrawford58 Do you top off your GK1 fast or slowly? What do you use to fill your GK1s? Have you felt the temperature of the carbon fiber around your reservoir directly after topping it off? If so, how does it feel?
I use a compressor to fill. The carbon fiber feels slightly warm after filling. It will fill from 14–15mpa to 32 mpa in about five minutes.

RAW Rapid  Plenums for Theoben or Raw

Just using the correct thread HUMA reg will buy you some small gains in plenum volume due to No Bevel Stack/spool assembly displacing volume when attached to receiver.
A Huma regulator was mounted when I bought the rifle, acc the seller it was a fastflow but after some checking it was a Huma regulator.

I want to increase the plenum volume and check the effect with the same settings. I was thinking it would be cheaper to buy a Hydraulic fitting and do some experimenting before I would buy a Raw Plenum. Or make one my self on the Lathe as that would be a cheaper option.

Was just wondering if someone did this before?

Hello!

Reximex Throne 2 (new)
Most of the adjustability of rifles 2-3 times as expensive. Accurate to my 45yard limit.
.25 could use a little larger transfer port but regulator setting can make up for that, fewer shots per fill.

FX Bobcat or Wildcat (used)
Bobcat, if you can find one, is an amazing rifle. A little bigger than the usual bullpup. Incredibly accurate and simple mechanically. Wildcat is the current generation with more adjustments.

Shoul I try the new Pard NV007SP2 LRF?

Hello all!

I've got a nice setup and shoot mostly in daylight so I wont be giving up my classic glass scope, but I was intrigued by the new clip-on from PARD. Its finally avaiable in europe since last week so I can order one and get it a couple of days. The ideia is to use it as a LRF and to film my hunting stuff, and ocasionally use as a nightscope.

There are just two things that I would like to know, If it records in 60fps and if I can use the quick-release from the NV007SP (not the new SP2) in it. Anyone knows? Would you guys not buy this add-on to try it out?
NV007SP and SP2 adapters are compatible

Compact scope recommendations

Not really a compact but a light weight scope, about 400 bucks , If you want something better you will need to spend 1000,oo or more easy.
ARKEN EPL-4 6-24x50 FFP, And yes you can get a better scope but it will cost you twice as much money,,,,
Just buy it on Amazon, If you dont like it send it back, But you will keep it , Its that good,
I got three of them,,,

GX CS4-I question(s)

I received an email from GX support that indicates one of their engineers isolated a problem in the CS4-I circuit board that may be responsible for the random shutoffs that some of us are experiencing. Apparently the problem affects 1-2 batches of their CS4-I compressors. They indicated that after receiving my order number they would send a replacement circuit board in a week or so. A video for installation of the circuit card can be found at
.

I hope this helps us in resolving these random shutoffs. We'll see.

30-Yard Challenge

Some amazing cards, my competitive nature is killing me. But in South Florida the shooting season is in the winter. Just had to comment though, @tommyb this card is amazing to me. I live for "X's" that are literally dead center. I know that 10's win, but when you hit dead center it's like the world is smiling on you! This card has an inordinate number of dead center shots. Cheers! RIck

Thanks Rick. It does make you smile.

If you want to see a lot of dead center X’s with really nice round holes, look at Mike N’s cards. 😀

Diana  How long can a springer be left cocked before spring degradation?

During a hunting session no problem. Leaving it cocked overnight or longer I'd be nervous about dry firing by mistake.
If it's cocked it's loaded. I always discharge it in a safe direction before putting it away.

Lightest .177 pellets?

These ones Motorhead?

View attachment 570672

I was given a sample of these years ago by a friend and I've kept them as a curiosity.

Evidently he picked them up on one of his business trips, don't know where he got them and have never seen them for sale.

I tried one (and only one) in my FWB124 and it was like dry-firing the gun 😳

Testing in lower power springers found them to be substantially less accurate than regular pellets.

The negative experience with these composite pellets has made me dubious (perhaps unreasonably so) of all the fancy two-part offerings (like Predators) on the market. Some people swear by the Predators (and similar offerings) but I can't see any performance benefits over the much less expensive standard lead pellets. Maybe you can comment on them.

Cheers!
I know that my little bb gun was more accurate than any sabot pellets I have ever shot. It was Daisy Red rider.

N/A  Slug Life - A Thread Dedicated to Showing and Discussing PCP Slug Guns

As copied from a previous post in another thread; edited for pertinence here-

My most consistently-accurate airgun (of many hundreds I've owned) is the latest evolution of my original Mac-1 QB77 Deluxe that cost $159 brand-new thirty years ago; now known (by me) as The Most Improbable Slug Shooter On Earth. And although all that remains of the original QB77 Deluxe is the BARREL and bolt-action, the custom-stocked QB/Gauntlet hybrid consistently averages less than 1.20" five-shot groups at 100 yards with 16 and 20 grain H&N slugs at 28-30 foot pounds.

Although I've had a (very) few air rifles that once or twice averaged better groups, none did so with such unerring REGULARITY as QB/G. A brief history-

I had the stock (above) custom built to my design by an old gunsmith in Fort Worth in the late 1970s for a Crosman 160. The QBs being a(typical) Chinese rip-off of the Crosman 160, some thirty years later the stock found its roundabout way to the QB77; that (by then) had captured a Field Target National Champion title in a different, AR2078 stock.

Last Christmas a buddy gifted me an Umarex Gauntlet; the Gauntlet being another, this time Chinese/American conspiracy rip-off of the Crosman 160. The Gauntlet guts, and a Ninja Flex adjustable regulator, allowed a long-sought power boost way beyond the 20 foot pounds I'd been seeking for decades.

Having never achieved decent accuracy with any slug in any airgun, for some inexplicable reason I decided to make a last-ditch effort to do so by trying slugs in QB/G. To my amazement she achieved what none others could- aforementioned CONSISTENT five-shot group-size averages under 1.20" center-to-center... consistent as clockwork. Many groups go under an inch, some under 3/4"; none over 1.4".

Five shots at 100 yards-

FX 30 cal 1:22 TR liner = CRAP

Try the 1:22 twist rate barrel with heaver slugs 62 to 64 grain throw as much power to it
as you can 1020-1030 fps is best I know a couple of guys shooting that barrel its good.

Not all of those barrels are created equal and there was even a left hand and a right hand twist made.
I never tried that before with my mav .30 sniper. As soon as I went from NSA 49.5's to 54.5's and 61.5's, I immediately switched from the 1:22 to the 1:18 twist liner. I won't try to go above 116fpe for fear of bending another cocking rod and rod guide, but I have a lot of 54.5's on hand. It's easy to swap liners and crank up the power, so I have nothing to lose. I'm looking forward to trying this.

Umarex  NOTOS RogueAir Trigger Kit ?

it will make a big difference!


I installed the Rogue Air Notos Trigger Kit tonight, and it is a huge improvement!

Some final notes:

1. The video I attached in post number 11, is not at all useful if your using the factory oem Notos stock.
2. The trigger is available with or without roll pins,....If your using the factory oem, Notos stock, the roll pins are not necessary.
3. Installation, as duchunter already mentioned, was very easy, and the trigger spring and set screw alone, made a huge improvement!

Umarex  THE ZELOS IS AMAZING

I heard it was going to be a scorcher there, Hot here too, but not that bad, in the high 80's with high humidity in north east Texas, thunderstorms and rain, low chance of Tornadoes....
I did shoot today during the light rain, it was dead still, no wind, I shot at Vines, no critters in the rain, the Zelos outperformed itself, I swear this thing is so accurate, I'm the faulty part that could cause it to miss, I shot 65 yards to the very back of my property across the creek at a 1/4" Vine on the tree with 1 mildot hold over, cut the vine in 2, Dead on accuracy on the first mildot, same thing on closer vines, I have several high end PCP's that are not this accurate, the only one's that come close are the HW100's at 780 fps, this is shooting 921 fps, it just blows my mind every time I shoot it.
Yes it was 111°F very hot had to go into the pawn shop to cool off got a Hatsan Air Tact in .177 for $40 😁.

RTI  My personal RTI Mora experience

We wish to get the gun back to take a look, but unfortunately that is not possible due to being outside EU, so the dealer is stepping in. We also hope we will get the barrel which you returned to take a look. That would make it the first bad barrel after few thousands, but it is, of course, totally possible.
Glad you have stepped in. I hope we will see the results of this problem and how you corrected it. Also is there a video showing how to repair Any of the o rings that would cause leaking through the witness holes? A tutorial on these repairs would be greatly appreciated, thank you,
