You bring me to another good point. By the time you're equipped to do everything you need, what have you spent? What is your time worth? I realized this and stopped casting 355 and just bought bulk powder coated stuff. Not for an airgun tho tbf.

It's like my whim to hot rod a notos I don't own yet, by the time I'm done I'm most of the way to a gun that came the way I wanted. I love the adventure and the process more than shooting tho. Problem solving is my joy. If that rings true for somebody else, by all means chase that project. I won't talk you out of it.

For my .510 Texan slugs are .50 to $1.00 a piece..Owww..I took 200 lbs of horded wheel weights and turn them into powder coated slugs that shoot targets and critters equally well..I have shot 300 lbs of lead through my .510 Texan at 450 grains at piece mostly..For my .22 cal condor i cast 39 grain .225 powder coated spire points . I have to buy pure lead for it at a wopping $1.25a pound...I could not afford to shoot my Airforce PCP on my budget if i didnt cast....22 cal slugs for airguns are $15.00 to $20.00 a hundred...Too much for me

so, someone tell me if the pin was outside the breech block will it hit the stock

No problem. But I remember only having to ever change the valve housing orings, the tube/Plenum -gun connector 18-14-2. I know the interior threaded part of the tube connected tube side is over 2 the reg orings are over 2 and the gauge / fill port block are over 2 in width. Finding a diagram with all the parts listed for me wasn’t way back then. Maybe someone else can find them. The kit is mostly 2s and some 3s and some 1.5 in the smallest sizes. Or oem kit

You must have lots of extra pivot pins

I usually make pins from a drill bits .You can choose any size, high precision for pins is not needed. I would cut grooves on this pin for the E-clips as not to have to mess around with screws and threads.

Oh my, Iove the old elm!

I have received my pinty rifle/carbine today. In my opinion it's nice for the price. Also it appears that avenger/avenge x magazines work at least in mine. May not be as smooth but they functioned all 10 shots. Also anyone able yo point me in the right direction for m14? Moderator or 1/2 unf adapter for the pinty rifle.

I think the poster was asking about head size measurement and sorting, as the Pelletgage is used for. I would love one of your devices for weighing (if it can reliably differentiate pellets withing 0.1 grain of each other), but weighing is much faster than determining which head size hole a pellet fits through on a Pelletgage. So if you could also come up with an automated pellet head size sorter, you'll have a few thousand benchrest and field target shooters begging for your devices.

Even with "just" automated pellet weight sorting, you have a great invention!!

I am still struggling with "noise" at the moment, despite having a low noise amplifier installed.

The problem is really this: I am trying to get better than 0.01 grain resolution from a load cell with 1,543 grains full-scale rating, when weighing a pellet that's only 20 grains in weight. It's not gonna happen because I am just slightly above the noise floor with that pellet. I need better resolution.

To get the resolution I need, I will install a more sensitive load cell, one with 30 grains full-scale rating. This is on order and will take a few weeks to get here. I will post results as soon as I try it out.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Pelletgage. Now I understand what the requirement is: How to automate the measurement of a pellet's head diameter. An Optical Comparator can do the job but that piece of hardware is VERY EXPENSIVE. Plus the automation of singulation and the subsequent sorting.......let's stick to weight measurement for now. (BTW, swaging each pellet to size is far more easier to do than mechanical sorting using a gauge)

Thanks bud! Pierce 1911 adapter for AR. And a set of 1911 sideplates. May ne switching to a set of G10 grips soon and move these plates to my Impact.

Luis, excellent shooting on the feathers and great photo!

Great suggestion on the Amazon insurance on the compressor I did end up purchasing. Apparently 100+ have been sold and Amazon was down to 6 when I purchased mine. I also purchased a Professional Grade GX filter.

Shot mine today after 14 months of shooting my Thomas. Things to keep in mine were follow through because of the lock time. Need to add some tape to the bottle to keep it from slipping on the bipod. oh biggest thing is to remember to bring your frigging dope sheet.
shot a 42, when the PCP hunter high was a 49 with a dope sheet from the red wolf…
kinda fun to shoot it again. May bring it out some more

Couldn’t agree more! Once I had a general understanding of the settings and if I moved this or that and what caused “this” to happen with the tune in a basic sense, such as, “why did my velocity go down all of a sudden?”, I was able to get rolling pretty quickly. I definitely got to where feel and sound of the Airgun became a huge part of tuning much like it is for you.

I see my impact as a cross between a science experiment and a musical instrument. Depending on how you intonate and tune the guitar, the lab equipment provides you with different outcomes for the experiment that sound drastically different. Hammer strike, refresh rate, muzzle report, extreme spread, group size. Etc.

1 change at a time is the safest route so you can track cause and effect. Keep meticulous notes so you can always go back that way.
