Hi all.
I bought a pre-owned S45, for cheap with a air leak from the barrel.
The previous owner told me that it needs a new valve pin, so i changed the pin but it,s still leaking and shooting in full auto mode.
I noticed that there is no valve seat inside the housing, is that normal for this type of gun ?
The valve pin is now closing against the bare metal from the housing .

That stinks, I have the .357 in 13", but I haven't done anything except tighten up the bolt/ firing mechanism, and upgrade the front tank. There are some good valve pin videos on YouTube. Have you tried calling bintac? They usually have valve pin kits as well

Congratulations, enjoy your awesome new gun.

Hello. Bit of an update.
Adapter arrived. It fits perfectly. You can either fit it as it is with an o ring as there's a small gap as the thread is slightly too long or you can take out one of the baffle rings from the end and it fits flush. The reason I opted for the o ring is I wanted to keep the baffles in the correct place as much as possible plus I wasn't sure if it went all the way to the stainless ring inside. Not fired it yet but I'm pretty sure it should now do the job with a silencer. I better get shopping for one.

I just write down the cal, weight, hollow or solid, and depending on what press I used.

I suggest you call BinTac, or shoot them an email. They'll know what's up, and can probably send replacement parts if necessary.

Rats, unemployment, California. Sounds about right.

I’d tell you to write your Governor but he’s the one leading The Rats.

Get out while you can

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.

The RTI magazine was the first magazine I designed, at some point I introduced magnetic lid, way before QD even started selling, then I updated all my designs to use magnetic lids, then QD started selling.

You must have a very old version of my magazines. I'm thrilled it still works.

Yes it has the small plenum, I was looking for places that had it cheaper but its all the same price everywhere, also I got it with cerakote paint so I wouldn't go for a carbon fiber, its a fde/tan finish i really love it.

Plenum on a poppet valve guns are tricky. The number of variables that can limit effectiveness are many. Primary is poppet dwell. How long does the poppet remain open before the spring and air pressure close it. If the dwell is short a larger volume plenum will be wasted.

Ports, 90° turns, barrel length all can affect the effectiveness of a plenum.

Optimally you would want a plenum 3x-4x the size of your barrel volume. But due to all the limitations, due to poppet valve guns design, the effective size is limited to some value less.

Each type of gun is unique with regard to plenum volume. Some they are useless. The Umarex Gauntlet has a tiny feed hole from the regulator to the gun. Adding a plenum does nothing.

As far as I know the only way to determine effective volume is trial and error.

Rep what you sow.

Where did you read this? My read is that night hunting of pests (defined in the Code) is OK on property where one has permission to take such pests, and that a license is not required (not that I advocate NOT having a license, after all, license fees feed the Beast), not required when taking pests.
What did I miss?

You are correct.

I almost always attach my foster fittings with one hand. They are designed to be used that way. Once again a solid rifle rest will allow you to enjoy a pcp instead of a frustrating battle every time you want to use it. If you have trouble with the magazine on any pcp you can drop in a Single Shot Tray and just single load it. Regardless anything bolt action is basically a non-starter, they can be tricky with both arms/hands. The Notos side lever is going to be best for you.

The other thought I had was clamp the Notos in a sturdy tripod with a nice ball mount. You could load, aim, cock, fill, etc all on the tripod. Or if you can make some kind of clamp and mount a ball head onto it you dont actually need a tripod.

To the users of leofoto ball head/tripod set ups

I’m venturing into a tripod set up and slowly schooling myself. I’m a little late in this game so I have one question. Dairyboy Dillon snd Brawler Matt have been kind enough to offer their own suggestions and experiences, so I’m sort of up to speed. One of the features that one make of ball head...

Nice . I am going to try using the foster fittings .
I am not sure if the Wifey would go for a table with ball mount set up in front of the 3’wx4’h window in her sunporch that I spending most of my time . But if necessary I am going to give it a shot! . She was in Total Disbelief yesterday when I dropped $600+ on a setup that I can operate myself to take out squirrels ! . I think I found the Famous Rabbit Hole!

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

Thanks for sharing! I’m going to be getting up from the chair and walking to door and firing from doorway. Will see if leaving connected works
I have a7-shot magazine coming from Maple which probably is spring loaded. I will ask wife to assist if needed or go single shot

Just been informed about a second rifle with the same issue in Australia.

Sorry. Hope it gets worked out.
Hate to make another suggestion but I will anyway. Try messaging them here

I appreciate and know you were only trying to help. I am not frustrated at you, but at the manufacturer.
I should have added, and there is no way to explain this away, from the kind of people who run/own this company, to have sucha mindset to...

5. To ship you device you bought couple of days ago with 2 year old firmware and then make you buy a stupid custom cable (which any normal company would unclude free of charge, expecially when charging such premium for the product), just so you have a change to update the firmware to fix some of the bugs that they left in there with the earlier versions. Imagine if Samsung or Iphone asked you to buy a news item if you want to be able to every update your smartphones firmware.

Tell me how that is in any way a company you consider fair?

Pard was kind enough to send me a few at no charge.

I dont have the coltri compressor, but my understanding is that with this quality of a compressor it dont really matter. I used to keep the tank a bit higher when I was using the yong heng but not with my current compressor.

I think you are right.

I just viewed the ‘how to refill a 300 DIN tank’ Coltri YT video. The tank and compressor were at the same height on the table.

Thanks.
