Their 177 slugs are a game changer in my P35. Excellent performance on pest, minimal drop out to 100 yards and can repeatably hit golf balls at that distance too.

Do you plan on repairing it? If so, how?

Only way it would ever overheat...
Water pump fails, (snap switch will protect you then) or you're running it in direct hot 100 plus degree sun for extended periods of time... and the snap switch will still protect the compressor. You would need multiple failures for a true overheating situation.

I suppose you could buy an alarm and have it monitor water temps and have it go off at 145 degrees, which is just before the switch should shut it down.

I shoot .177 so not really impressive or difficult . but i will try at 50 yards . I mostly shoot at 30 yards (convenient for me )

Crow it appears to me that you are going to get wet building rebuilding that jetty. The lake you live on isn’t tidal is it?
A mate bought a farm a few k’s north of us and his property backed on to a creek that was about one kilometre in from the ocean. Pretty easy job a low tide. Sunk a few beers and caught a few fish.

Hey Gary. Good to hear from you.
You will love this one. My wife and I built this today 12.5 ft. x 30 ft. all 2”x10”I’m going to push it down my boat ramp and float it into place. It’s sitting on plywood to slide.
‘Great for the Bass in the summer and shooting distance in winter. There’s my bass boat on the other dock. Crow

Trucker,

There is certainly more than an even chance that I am blowing this out of proportion. With the TP on HI and using decent 25 grain pellets at an average of 910 fps, I'll see 50 shot SD's around 4.0. Decent accuracy there. At 50 yards I've had a few groups at 0.25" CTC but most hover around that 0.4-0.5 CTC range. Pretty good for what the gun is.

It could also be here that maybe by shutting down the TP, the hammer spring may need a different adjustment.

As I said, as a backyard plinker at 25 yards, the gun is great! I can smash up those clay birds and hit really tint pieces with boring regularity. I'll just keep shooting it and forget about the numbers.

Paralax is only an issue if you're not looking straight through the center. If the reticle is in the center of the glass you'll be fine, if it is offset you may experience some paralax. In dynamic shooting positions this can happen.

I'd check ebay or similar for pricing. Bear in mind its for an older out of style gun and the stock is beech - both strikes against its value. I dont think you would be able to get more than 75$ but others will correct me if im off base here.

Thank you for the information!

If you are just filling a paintball tank or smaller I don't feel an external filter is necessary. Other guys here strongly disagree. That is just something you will have to decide for yourself.

I live in Florida with 90% humidity. When I fill my paintball tank with my GX Compressor I do not get moisture in the tank. (I take the valve off often to check for moisture).

I have the same opinion. I went through quite a bit of testing, filling SCBA, etc. but cannot get any conversation going regarding tests, usually just name-calling.

I have measured ambient RH (relative humidity), filled tanks and bottles, then vented the air from tanks and bottles into a test void, such as a plastic bag. The venting allows the compressed air to be measured for humidity at ambient pressure, since my humidity meters only measure at ambient (room pressure). I have found that humidity is typically <10% which is very dry according to metal storage standards.

I have found that, for gun filling, simply normal pressure release venting appears to purge the water.

I have also found no evidence of liquid water in any of my guns, bottles, or tank, nor any corrosion.

I am not claiming that extra filters/water traps are unnecessary, simply that I have not been able to detect any need for them, given the applications that I have tested. No one seems to respond with humidity measurements, so IDK how to compare results.

I do avoid adding extra volume to gun and bottle filling because it increased compressor run time, especially if not achieving improved water/humidity presence.

It would be very interesting to compare results in order to try to better understand results.

I got the AEA 33.9’s, cleaned the barrel and it took 10 shots to lead in. It put them into tight 5 shot groups and I was shooting the grid on the target making nice straight lines. If it shoots the same next session, onto the 30 yard challenge finally.

Thanks again

I'd thought about those, but decided on the ones I did, because my grandfather taught me to "imagine a small button on a deer or whatever, and aim for that." That way even if you miss the "button," you still get a solid hit on the target.

This was years before I ever heard the term "Aim Small." And the small 1/4" hole lets me aim 'smaller' than I would aiming for the whole dot.

600 is the upper limit of the more budget minded guns I would look at. When you are approaching 600 the only ones I would consider are the zelos and maybe an avenge x. You get to that 700 to 800 and it’s deadwood there. Save 1000-1200 and get something on the used market way better or even something new like a DRS.

AoA carries JTS and AEA ammo.

@CanMike and @Dstrac: I'm pretty new to airguns, so I con't have much experience with different brands. I have some .22 HAWKi Thunder 25.3 gn pellets, very uniform and accurate. They are at 0.214 at the nose and 0.225 at the skirt. I just received some Apolo 25 gn slugs, very uniform but run 0.217/0.218 in diameter. I haven't shot them yet as I am waiting for a scope and don't want to sight the rifle in twice. However, I don't understand how being so undersized, they will fly true(?).

Did either of you measure your slugs for uniformity, not just for appearance, and how off from the nominal barrel diameter are they?

Are you aware of any videos showing how to position the micro barrel, or does it just not matter where I set the barrel along that rod?

Hi,
It appears that you have the Spring Carrier as far forward as it will go. That means you are compressing the spring the maximum amount. This certainly limits your range of adjustments using the features of the rifle. It is likely that you are getting close to not being able to cock the rifle because the head of the hammer is not being allowed to move far enough back to engage the sear. The figure below, showing the Quick Tuning System (QTS) for an FX King (Dynamic/Panthera) is nearly identical to that of the Impact. The trigger set is different, but the principles are the same.

By moving the Micro adjuster you are moving the Spring Carrier, which controls the position of the rear end of the hammer spring when the rifle is cocked. The front end of the soring is in the hammer and its position will always be the same when cocked because of the trigger sear. The Power wheel also limits the back position of the hammer spring by limiting the rearward position of the spring carrier.



I am attaching a write up I started to explain how the FX QTS works. It was written for the Dynamic family but the same principles apply. I have never gotton around to finishing the writeup because I sold my King and moved to the DRS. Hopefully the limited amount I did write will help explain the system to you..

Cheers,
Greg

MY opinion : if a kit cost $ 120 +postage and i do the work (having never worked on a gun ) i would rather pay $200 + and have a known tuner do all his tricks to make a much smoother shooting experience than just a remove and replace kit, that is what i will do .
edit . $$ prices are from a few years ago for Pro tuning don;t know what they are now .

I’d like to see the unregulated gun that gets a SD of 3 over 100 shots. Just saying I think you might be over worrying this. It is not acting unregulated. How is the ES with the TP wide open. Using a TP restriction to drop speed doesn’t always produce the greatest shot to shot consistent velocities.

I use Craigslist to sell air rifles. The problem with ebay is fraud in which case you are on your own and the guarantees do not actually apply.

When I lived in Texas there were traffic accidents that ended as gun fights. Perfectly legal to have a loaded handgun in the glove box. Also legal to drive around with an open beer or hard liquor bottle so long as there is a passenger in the vehicle. I do not see that as being good for anyone.

I mean the regulations are keeping LA, SF etc safe so by all means create more.
