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.
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.

N/A  Nova Liberty hammer spring

Perfect! Thanks guy's!
If you buy the Aliexpress ones you get 5 springs.
You may have to cut them.

You need a chrony no matter what.

You can try buying a stiffer spring (same length and OD) but larger wire diameter.
This one has a 1.6mm wire diameter: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800217904922.html

Crosman 1322 barrels


Charles also has barrels along with a compliment of quality products.
Thank You, I purchased a 14" and some extras today.

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.

If a fair weather pester a CO 2 rifle with an aftermarket LDC would work fine.
I was worried that CO2 wouldn't have enough oomph behind it to get a clean kill, especially since sometimes the problem is raccoons killing his chickens.

My other worry with CO2 is that I heard you should spend the entire cartridge once installed, and that it will wear down the o-rings(cheap) and valves, etc.

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

just a note i did not make those grips
for wood grips
i have a problem doing that sort of thing, first off i do not have all the power tools to do the work
and i have another problem i hate to fail
i am now past 75 and my days of tinkering is closing on me ideas i have
grip i find are hard because of the inletting and the thought of make kindling out of walnut or other nice woods keeps me away
the fact is i have the wood here at the house
i do believe some will enjoy the grips above
I enjoyed those grips too, I just have a bad habit of egging people to go really far with creating. Your pistol looks awesome, I wasn't diminishing anything.
