Hi,
Since the only path for air to get to the barrel is through the valve and valve seat, I expect something is still wrong. From the sound of your initial problem I expect that there was damage done to the receiver block by the hammer (may have been happening for a while and the damage was simply accumulating).

I had this happen to a Crown Mk II I bought used and made the mistake of dry firing to empty the plenum of air when I first got it. I didn't realize that the previous owner had put in a 26g hammer weight and had the internal hammer adjuster maxed out. The aluminum around the hole the valve pin stuck out of was deformed and caused the vale to jam and not seat properly, blowing all of the air out of my rifle. The only solution was to send back to FX USA (at the time) where they redrilled out the valve pin passage.

I expect that your valve pin passage has been damaged and that is what is keeping your new valve pin from properly seating in your new valve seat.

Sorry for the diagnosis! Though if there is a good machine shop near you they can probably use a honing tool to sort out the problem without having to redrill.

Cheers,
Greg

Should PCP air rifles be depressurized when shipping? Even if it's shipped by ground transport?

No

This listing has been renewed

Calm down fellers, someone is bound to come in with single hole groups now. ... We know that sig aint a laser, that's not its purpose.

if you have one that fits the V1, Ill buy it for $40. Pm'ed you!

Yes, I use all three, but most of my pesting for home-intrusive critters is under 30 feet. I prefer open sights for that. Everything else is for fun.

I did not know that H&N and Hatsan were hooked up with one another. Thanks for the info. Do you know if any other retailers of airgun ammo are having problems getting product? What exactly does being the rep mean? Does Hatsan import all H&N ammo into the US and distribute the products to the retailers? I am not very business savvy, so I am not certain how it all breaks down.

They are the distributor.

Hatsan is the US rep for H&N

My last order was for Apolo .30 Air Boss pellets (20% off and free shipping). Wrapped tightly in bubble wrap, no damage.

I recently got a .25 calibre conversion kit from Wes of Air Gun Archery Fun and I was able to do the switch quite easily once I figured it how. I couldn't find any Youtube videos out there on how to do this so I decided to a video so it might be helpful for those who might want to change their calibre.

Simple procedure to swap out the barrel and fill probe.

Enjoy.

In the video the probe stopper comes out pretty easily, mine isn't doing so. Is it just a straight pull out or does it have to be aligned in a certain way somewhere?

Edit: figured out the missing step, there's a tiny grub screw that holds the probe stopper in. It's right around 3 minutes in this video.
Once that's out the pin and probe slide out easily.

so i see there are 2 extra parts that make a C here is what my 853cm looks like and there are no parts that move the mag from right to left beside my finger

Leshiy classic its perfection

I thought the consensus was not to consume urban or suburban coons. They eat too much trash and other potentially toxic "foods."

I would not eat any coon from a heavily populated area. I have seen pictures from the Kansas city area with hundreds of coons sitting around dumpsters. All you could see was their eyes glowing in the dark. I would be more afraid of diseases due to over population than toxic foods. Mark

To be even more humbled. Shoot one shot in bull #1, then move to bull #2, then #3, #4 and #5 then back to bull #1 and repeat. End up with 5 shots per bull, 25 shots in total, in 20 minutes. Then see if any of your bulls are MOA?

Blackpowder lead rounds have a grease groove. Copper jackets were needed for higher FPS without ridiculous fouling.

My grandpa "pa" used to raise award winning Redbones when I was a kid. He had many dogs featured in coon hunters magazine. Tricycle Annie and a lot of her pups turned out to be amazing hunting dogs. Sus Vide, cock pot, and basting while slow smoking all have turned out great for me. Haven't tried many other ways but they are hard to beat in my opinion.

The best part of the hunt was sitting around the fire and listening to the dogs sing. Have not seen or met anyone who hunts with dogs in a long time. I will have to remember the crock pot the next time I get a shot at a coon. Mark

Thanks for those replies. I’m still learning about heavier pellets. Reckon I’ll buy both and give ‘em a try

It’s because shooting airguns at 100 and beyond and trying to land projectiles on top of each other is an art form. Powder burner? Easy. A kid can do it.

Ha! Have you been to public rifle ranges? Most of them won't even try to shoot centerfire rifles at 100 yards. Most set their targets at 25 or 50 yards. And even then... shotgun pattern groups.

A few can shoot tighter groups. But 1-MOA or sub-MOA? Pretty rare.

But yeah... taught the right skills... a "kid" can do it. My daughter is one. This is at 300 yards:



To qualify to shoot the e-target range, she had to shoot a 3-inch or less 5-shot group at the 100 yard range. Here's how she did:



That all said... I'm new to air guns, and yeah... 100 yards is TOUGH to shoot a tight group. My first attempt at 100 yards with my brand new Marauder F&T... Humbling! I could see the flight of the pellet (and the effect of wind).



For comparison, here are some of my 100-yard targets with a centerfire rifle (all 5-shot groups):

I recently ordered some H&N Precision 22cal 33gr .218 slugs from Hatsan. I also ordered the same slugs from Pyramid about six weeks ago and Pyramid says that they haven't gotten their shipment in yet, but Hatsan sent me an email the day after placing the order saying that my slugs are on their way. Why did Hatsan have the product I wanted, but Pyramid cant get them for themselves? One note, the price of the slugs jumped after I ordered them from Pyramid. Were your pellets in good shape when you got them from Hatsan?
