As I shoot a lot indoors I tend to keep mine pressurized all the time so I can just do quick refills. I find that mine will start to leak after about 6 months. A $25 rebuild kit and good to go for another 6 months.

You just have to weigh your wants and needs. For me, it's an extremely convenient addition for air filling. I have had my two (two air tanks) since they were first available. To me it's just worth having a rebuild kit on hand - but that may not be so for others.

Makes sense. For sure we like having the bottle charged and on hand, which is why we bought it (not cheap). It's the tinkering time we neither want nor have. We would rather buy a second one and send this one off for repair. Not impressed with its durability, but here we are, buying another one.

Good glass certianly enhances your shooting enjoyment.

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.

Thanks, That is very aggressive, probably need to change hammer weight too,

I have a Diana 45 that I bought new in the mid 80s. My ex wife had it for a couple of years. When I managed to get it back it was cocked and I suspect it was like that the whole time she had it. As far as I can tell it never lost any power and shoots great like it always has

You have coil springs in your car, right? Do they eventually collapse by constantly being under load? If your airgun spring loses power, it was trash from the beginning and should be replaced with one from a reliable source. Gun manufacturers probably buy tons of springs from the lowest bidder. I doubt these are heat treated and shotpeened.

Guess the best way to find out is to try them.

The new 8-shot repeating Redback airbow by FX has a regulator and the typical FX smart tune controls.
So the power on that one, unlike (most/all?) other dedicated airbows, can be adjusted from lower, quieter ~7fpe up to a very loud 100+fpe.

A different approach would be to use Air Venturi Air Bolts in an adjustable power, large bore air rifle. There again, the sound level can only be lowered by lowering the power level. At least the vanes on the bolts wouldn't pass through a regular moderator.

The FX Redback mentioned above uses vaneless bolts. So in theory those could be fired through a regular ~.35 cal moderator.
But the 8-shot barrel carrier on the Redback rotates a new barrel into position with each shot.

A 3" ID PVC tube fits snugly over the front of the Redback and could be used to make a simple and modestly effective shroud since there aren't any vanes on those bolts. Gogun.co has a shorter version of the FX Redback (maybe 32" long?) which shoots 12" vaneless bolts up to about 80fpe. It is more than loud enough to startle an animal on the 1st shot so I'm not sure if anyone would actually use all 8 shots in a hunting situation. Gogun markets their products for general use in firearm restricted areas. I don't know offhand if other airbow models use vaneless bolts which could be easily moderated with a simple shroud.

Tom Gaylord tested them leaving cocked for months without issue.

Some guns cant be easily uncocked. So your stuck keeping it cocked and loaded till uouf fine and just safely fire it to to discharge it . I guess that mostly bear trap guns . Or like a hw 95 that can be easy decockrd without firing it .. my hatsans have to be fired to discharge .. its a pain vs the hw. Lol

Shoot it in the dirt. No big deal.

Okay Rich, I see that on your website now.

Do you think those MK3s will work well in a springer?

Click to expand...

I don't know, let us know when you try. I would think that it would come down to how tight of a choke your springer has.

I tried 4.2, 5, 5.3 and 5.5mm wire diameters and the results are still the same.

Here are pictures of mine, a friends’ and from someone from facebook.

I had a similar setup, and what helped was checking AR15 uppers that already have the right buffer tube threads for the stock I wanted. Some uppers come pre-threaded, making it way easier to match parts without needing adapters or extra mods. Made fitting the AR-stock feel more solid and less wobbly too.

I have to keep the gun inside the window to shoot starlings, or they spook. I love RWBB, and don't mind blackbirds, but the blackbirds started poopting in the pool. We put floating snakes in the pool and they stopped hovering over and poopting. Now they poop all over my privacy fence though while keeping a distance looking at the snakes. I might have to vermin reduce the black birds.

Great "speed" shooting Mike. That is a good skill to have in your toolbox for situations like you encountered. What caliber are those holes?

I will remove my barrel and video pushing a brass brush through. I understand it doesn't make sense. This dam thing has been haunting me for sometime. Doesn't shoot anything good and spirals like hell. Also a very good loose spot mid barrel. Polished it up and made very little difference in its accuracy. I'm a sucker, so I may try to have a Taipan CZ 700mm barrel made to fit.

Your barrel seems real tight but can be made to work IMO. 1:16 is the wrong twist rate for light pellets ( under 25 grain) get the heaviest pellets you can find and shoot starting at 700 fps and work your way up in speed until you find something that works.
While you have the barrel out. You should have a real good look at the leade where the pellet stops past the transfer port when pushed in using the probe. I’ve seen a few rifles where the pellets stop short and are partially blocking the path .

Wow, a classic - love the silver Sightron.

That is an amazing X count on Masters cards - from a rifle you havshot in years.

What is the trigger pull weight on that .177 RAW?

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.

Received the same email

I used an automotive 50/50 premix, they use purified water in the process, 50/50 as it will give me freeze protection in Wisconsin. Warmer climate the anti corrosion additives are an advantage.

While not bullpup, not very long
AirForce Talon or its longer brethren Condor
Don't be put off by single shot. Loads quickly.
Probably the simplest gun mechanically
Can be upgraded easily and quite often in just minutes
Change from 12" barrel .22 to 19" barrel .25 in 10 minutes.
Add a regulator and high flow valve 5 minutes
Change to heavy spring and hammer 10 minutes.

Can be hand pumped but a compressor is recommended

Condor .22 blemished

I have the same problem. Mine was filled to 300 bar and has worked fine for several months. This morning I heard a loud hissing noise. The Peazy just released all its air. I sent Edgun.shop a question regarding how to proceed. The idea of "rebuilding" this is not interesting to us. At all.
