Yeah it sucks but we know going in that Hikmicro is unwilling to support US sales. I'd love to try one, but no way am I jumping thru hoops to buy someone's products. Doesn't seem to make sense as the US market would seem to be substantial...who knows?

There are lots of good Huben threads out there already.

Same experience as above.

The cylinder end pieces are aluminum, and on the fill end the holes to accept the 4 drive pins in the removal tool are not drilled very deep.
Cylinder was clamped in a sized collet and a breaker bar was used to turn the removal tool. I made a witness mark, and then managed to do nothing more than mangle the end cap to the point that the only remaining method of removal would be boring it out. It did not rotate at all......
Heat= no effect
Lots of rotational torque= no effect

Just got a new trigger with rail section from Rustic Industrial Customs. Put it on the GK1 shorty i got, the light/laser sits right where it should now. And the fit and quality are top notch.

Reg or hammer settings.

You can get an inexpensive 1:1 spa pp750 reg from ebay. Sometimes regs will creep during fill. Your hammer may be low in the range. But sounds like youre creeping. Your reg may be set ridiculously high because that's how unregged guns behave.

Have you screwed your hammer spring adjuster all the in/out

The first shots are they really quiet?

One thing no one can gripe about w/ FX guns is you can go to the website and download any guns exploded view and get all the oring sizes.

My P35-177 has killed the most squirrels in my yard for exactly the reason suggested by Reg Creep. Chairgun will calculate your maximum range and it is a good thing to check, particularly before shooting squirrels up in trees. A safe direction to shoot is always required but at some angles the difference between the 300 yards or so the 177 can carry and the 500 to 600 the higher power 22s and 25s can carry puts things I would not want to impact into the potential path. If you limit yourself to shots on the ground or with the tree behind the squirrel you can also shoot safely regardless of how far the pellet could potentially fly.

Last time I had trouble with not being able to adjust a scope it was some cheap utg scope rings causing the issue. A one piece cantilever scope mount can provide a solid way to attach to a rail.

What about something like this 20 moa mount.

Every single time for me it has happened with a very reliable scope all of a sudden needing 90moa /30 mrad of elevation to hit paper. Every times its happened ive either mix and matched rings or tried crap rings or using a rail riser. Tighten everything to spec. Grab some rings you've had work on something else or a scope you know is 100% chances are it isn't the optic, almost never is.

Now that is kool! Got a link to utube that explains how?

The owner's manual Page 2 under Directions for use: 1. Machine test, Attention: <cuation symbol> 1. Note - describes adjusting the "Safety Valve"

I couldn't agree more with every word!
I still have a Brk Sniper HR I bought used on here a good while ago. It is bulletproof. If I ever doubt a scope, I slap it on that rifle and it tells the tale. Never a hiccup, just dead accurate.

I also had a Katran and it was my introduction to Airmaks and it just puts a smile on your face every time.

I don't know about FX but Huma offers reasonably priced rebuild kits for their regulators. But it's just the O-rings you need and a sealing disc or two. They also offer the discs separately. If you can buy something like this for the FX it would be my next step. But when the Huma in my new Caiman failed it only needed silicone grease in the right amounts in the right spots. This gun is used, however, so O-ring replacement seems appropriate.

is the phone mount of the sideshot as good as the GoPro? Digital scopes are not legal in my state.

I've got three FX rifles that take the same AMP reg. I have 4 or 5 of the latest AMP reg's and 4 or 5 of the HUMA w/ all the different washer stacks. I've used all extensively. Both have pros & cons. If I had to choose.....I'd choose the latest AMP. I get just a tad better consistency. Both reg's use delrin seals, so no real difference there. Honestly you can't go wrong with either. I even use an AMP w/ the delrin piston as the 1st reg on my Wildcat and it works fine. The only real pluses of the HUMA has is the power range can be more narrow which theoretically would result in better consistency, but isn't proven in real life. Also, the replaceable delrin Disc. The answer to that is keep a spare AMP piston.

Every reg will periodically need rebuilt. I've had to rebuild both about the same amount.

I had the same thought for a Field Target rifle. Martin talked me out of it though. Said the rear stock wouldn't be stable enough. I so wanted it to work!
Nice looking gun. Enjoy.

What did you end up getting for FT?

I dialed my Hawke adjustable zoom scope to "optical zero" then reattached it to the rifle and was disappointed to see that the scope was way off. So, I adjusted the scope to print where I wanted the bullet to go, but in the end, both elevation and windage were almost at their extreme limits as before.
Am I doing this wrong?

I believe it moves down the cylinder wall and deposits under the piston..

AOA sells an excellent 36" whip. It is light, flexible, very well made, and can be purchased with or without fittings.

I have two of these.

Crosman 760, put alot of bbs and pellets through it. Next was Crosman 22 cal. 140 ? Maybe? . Went to Florida when we moved there and shot swamp rabbits, snakes and a gator sunning behind house,he left the yard quick. Had alot of fun with those guns,like everyone wish I still had them.
