Norma 9.1 golden trophy ft , 50y

Nice shooting with irons at 50y!

I had pretty much the same experience with the 9.1gr domes vs the 8.4gr. The 9.1gr group nicely from pretty much every .177 rifle in my possession but the 8.4gr only grouped well from a couple of rifles. I’d have to double check but I think the ones I have were purchased direct from Norma in Jan 2024.

Snowpeak  Lancer/Snowpeak T-Rex Carbine

It looks damn good.

Post some groups.

Good work on the gun.
Would also love to see the bullpup version of this gun in the hands of a AGN member.

I have both T-Rex types. Bullpup did 21FPE, carbine 26FPE. Bullpup seems to be a PR900 dress up, and is about same size as Notos (top one with bipod on)

Air Arms  AA S510 AIR LEAK

Possibilities that come to mind:
  1. Damaged O-ring – When the piston cycles, the O-rings break free momentarily and then have to resettle. If a small bite is taken out of one of the O-rings, it may leak for a short time until the elastomer has some time to cold flow, so to speak, and re-seal against its mating surface.
  2. Hardened O-ring – Same principle as #1. This is an O-ring aging symptom so it’s not relevant if you replaced all the O-rings, but some regulators have an O-ring in an internal groove that’s easy to miss if you don’t know it’s there.
  3. Scratched sealing surface - With the aid of magnification and good lighting, check the bores where each the small end and large end of the piston goes. A defect in one of these areas can produce the “leaks then seals” symptom.
[edit] On re-reading your post, the large-ish O-ring sizes you described sound like ones that seal the regulator body. The sizes for a regulator’s piston are usually smaller, and these are the ones that cause a leak from the atmospheric vent.

Results  N50 & USARB Results 6/15/25 Open Grove

During the first match, second card, my Skout failed me. It just wouldn’t fire. I had already shot the first card no issues. Second card 8 shots in and it just stopped. Luckily I bring a back up rifle, my Ghost, shot the rest of the match. 15 shots in about 4 minutes.
I will be reaching to Skout, hopefully it’s a user fixable issue. Yes the battery was fully charged and fully aired up.
It was a beautiful day, lots of goodies, another new shooter Josh looked like he had a great time.
Very interested to find out what happened with your Skout??..Please let me know what is found.
Thanks

RTI  RTI Mora, I want MORE-My Mora II wish list

To add to the wishlist of the Mora. Being able to swap the cocking lever to the right.

In the current version of the Mora, a lot of mentioned drawbacks have already being addressed.
- shorter cocking lever
- complete new design dwellvalve and knob
- ability to adjust the scope rail forward and backward.
- new design barrel nut.

Exploded views and manual are available on the RTI website. The manual recently had a update.

GX-CS4-I: Buy from Amazon vs. GX?

Hi guys

Some background:

I’m a long time Dive Shop ‘traveler’ for my Great White 98 cu feet and just purchased the new Acecare 6.8L from Tuxing. Have been going 45 minutes one way to my local 4600 psi Dive Shop for 7/8 years. It’s getting very old.

I am going to buy a CS4-I this year, but I’m vacillating between getting it directly from Amazon with the $69 three year Asurion parts and service warranty or buying direct from GX, with a 1 year manufacturer guarantee.

I am not looking to work on compressors. Other than turning the grease knob every 5 hours for maintenance. That’s why I have been driving to the Dive Shop for years. I am fearful of complex compressor issues and I do not want to fiix/repair newly bought compressors.

Gerry52, Humdinger, and others please join in. I have read all your posts. I don’t need to be sold on the CS4-i as I have done exhaustive research on this compressor. It’s a good fit for me.

Q. Would you get the 3-year $69 no brainer warranty if you had my requirements and mechanical skills concerns? I understand email support is available from GX, but nothing like a ‘Todd’ technician-
like Omega has for their products. I.e. phone conversation.

I should add, I have a good friend ( EPG) who has the GX- 5K1 and will be my guardian angel for questions.

Please, no suggestions for other models and brands. I just want your logic or justification for my question.

Thank you in advance.

Tom
I tried contacting Amazon and the seller after I got my CS4 a few years back to ask how much longer my added $69 warranty that I purchased would be in effect in case it took a crap. After way too many back and forth with both the seller and the Amazon cs, I found that I had wasted $69 as they both denied that it had been purchased even though it was clear on the order I had. Luckily I haven't really needed it on either cs4's.. Since the warranty you buy on Amazon seems to be worthless, for me anyway, the next one wasn't purchased there.

Antifreeze in your pcp compressor?

My understanding:

1. For cooling distilled water will outperform antifreeze, so only use antifreeze if your compressor will be in below freezing conditions.

2. You can use an additive, like water wetter or Rislone Hypercool which will provide additional corrosion protection


and help to run even cooler. In a GX CS4 or CS4I probably only need to add a couple capfuls
Ok, understand.

I will keep it in the garage, and in NC it can get into the 20’s occasionally in January.

So, to play it safe don’t you think I should use a blend of antifreeze and water vs. using distilled water and water wetter?

I understand the advantages of either, but it seems that you are recommending distilled water and water wetter additive?

Huben  GK1 Grip wood burning and polyurethane.

so you used a little torch or something after masking the rest of the grip, or what exactly? Did you sand the rest of the grip as well, and apply different stain? can you provide more details....
No masking no sanding no stain I wiped down the grip with soapy water flushed it off wiped it down paper napkin. Set it in the sun till dried. Went the the garage hung it on the garage door and opened the door and hit it with the polyurethane. Added pix of my burner bought it in 74 !

30-Yard Challenge

Shot 5 cards today. Light wind at 8:30am, one near flag deployed.

Shot three 30 yard cards and two 40Y Masters. The 40Y Masters were 185’s, so therew them in the range bin.

RAW TM1000x .177
Sightron ED 45x Fixed
FX 13.4g Pellets

197-16X 30Y Masters
199-15X 30 Challenge

200-20X 30Y Masters ( LEADER BOARD)
If I counted all 24 bulls, it would be a 240-20X

I have a pellet probe alignment issue that occurs too frequently. May send the action back to Martin to check pellet probe and alignment. Way too many fliers and I think the pellet is getting ‘tilted’ going into chamber.

It’s under warranty, so I may just call Martin and see if he will take a look see.

This gun is a laser if I could fix the pellet loading issue.

Black wolf prices

I guess the BW sticker shock for me comes from the mechanical operation vs the electronic operation. shouldn’t the BW be cheaper just because of that? It’s very nice, preferred by most probably, but mechanical is still cheaper to make and maintain under warranty. Apple to apples, BW should land in the middle, but instead it’s priced high, top tier. Daystate had an opportunity to really out sell and truly compete with FX on multiple popular models here with the BW if they would have priced it right. I would also choose the FX King GRS over the BW due to the price, but equal price or even within $250-$400 I would probably go Daystate BW. Big opportunity lost by Daystate here.
