I'm with you. After having the hengs I like the little Shoebox knockoffs more from Amazon. They're disposable cheap and I keep one as a backup to my big tuxing 4 cylinder. I rebuilt 2 of my hengs several times(never seals or read valves) and was just done with it for the amount of oil and water condensate they put out. After busted crank cases, a ruined rod and stage 1 piston, i gave up on them.

FR this is Airgun Nation...not Compressor Nation

I don't mind the act of tanking air, but having another thing about the garage that needs fixing wasn't part of the plan when I bought the compressor.

TX200 .177 = dead squirrel

R7 .177, two dead squirrels

My first PCP. Started with a 1-10x, then red dot but I think this 3-24x is my fav.

Beeman R7 today. Getting preliminary numbers, scoped it, cleaned the barrel, adjusted the trigger.
7.62 FPE with 7gr RWS
Got about 100 pellets through it today.
Adjusted from 1lb 14oz down to about 1lb 9oz.
Took out a squirrel before and after work with it, irons this morning and scope this evening. So it is up to 3 kills
I installed one of my 6x24 compact scopes and it really fits this rifle.
3 shots at each indoor 10m

Centerpoint on the Notos ?

I recall Dubber saying (of the new FX pistol) "In production in September." So likely pretty early for any significant quantity of prototypes to be in the hands of testers. And generally their paid Youtube presenters won't release a vid until product launch day even though they've had the product for a month or so.

I want them to hurry so I can wait a year to buy it and avoid the rolling updates of the m3 impact.

Seems to me even the push on the leopard was kind of low key ? Although I have unsubscribed from all the YouTube channels that only come out of the woodwork when fx has a new gun

Here we agree incredibly well. The marketing on youtube by parties with financial interest in those companies.... But don't disclose its an infomercial bothered me. I did things to my impact that made it perform better mathematically but really detracted from the overall enjoyment of it before I caught on to their tactic.

The powerblock update is what broke me. I missed that rolling update by a couple months, buy one and mic it and do my best to compare things and my final conclusion was: this wasn't a performance update nearly as much as it was a safety update for those dialing the plenum pressures up way higher.

Fx having it's financial backers tied in with the accessories companies while running the biggest airgun channels and the marketing wankery that goes along with it BUGS ME. The modularity, thought process behind them and forward thinking for future upgrades/repairs I do like. The liner system I would like a lot more if you could just liner swap to any caliber available without a barrel tube change....but that's the catch.

Hey it's still a lot a lot cheaper and more rewarding than hotrod trucks I'd rather change 700 orings than transmissions or rear end gears all fiscal week.

I'm not an fx "worshiper" and they're not perfect or Inflallable but it's probably my favorite manufacturer rn. I'm not brand loyal to justify my purchases, or a hater because orings or inability to problem solve. It's JUST A TOOL.

Just wondering how many people are using the Maple Custom Products 3D magazines for their guns.
If you are in the market for some spare magazines for your guns, be sure to check it out at www.MapleCustomProducts.com.

I have the opportunity to test and try out some of Jay's 3D printed magazines and I wasn't disappointed.

I started with the M60B .22cal magazine and single loader and now I have added more of his magazines into my collection (Daystate Regal, HW100 and AirArmS510).

Not only they are affordable but also made of high quality finish. They just work perfectly in my guns. Thank you Jay of Maple Custom Products.

I will be reviewing them in my upcoming YouTube videos where I will be tuning for my "new" 25 cal M60B converted from 22 cal. I will play with my HW100, Daystate Regal and Air Arm S510 when I get the chance as I am currently trying to tune my M60B to shoot some H&N Gen2 slugs in various weight and head size.

I have two for my Notos that work great. Easy to load and as I said they work. Did not even try the mag that came with my Notos. Mark

I think you'll be fine, based on other answers in this thread, and also based on how we all use it in our cars. I have a 50% mix in my not-cheap compressor and it doesn't worry me.

Thanks.

That’s what I want to know.

One other idea as we progress the 2022 Inception of this Challenge. To make it simpler and possibly attract more new shooters….

What if we had only two cards?
A 30Y and 40Y Challenge with a scoring change. Get rid of the Masters Cards.

Make it optional for the shooter if he/She wants to use the two pair of Mulligans or, let the shooter count all 24 bulls if he wants to try for a 240-24X perfect card.

In other words, change the scoring to allow for a 200 or a 240 perfect score.

Personally I think that the cost of replacement parts for the YH are a bit of a rip off since the sum of spare parts will pretty quickly put it into new compressor territory....not to mention the sweat equity that needs to be invested into fixing it. I have other things I'd rather be doing

I did but didn't get those two, thanks! The fact that someone has found it picks up other shooters in a bench situation is a bit worrying, my FX will very occasionally pick up another shooters shot on the bench but not often, I am just surprised that airgun shooters don't seem to be reviewing them.

Click to expand...

Others have reported no issues with picking up other shooters, so don't take one or two incidents as a major problem with the product.

I ended up just ordering a .22 I did not realized that you get 2 xtra pellets in the .22 magazine
thanks for the help

forestsounds said:

im going todo some tests with my 58 cal air gun and buy sabots to use with 45 cal slugs to hopefully achieve a higher fps and fpe and i doubt i will be able to save money on ammo if i factor in the cost of the sabbots but it should be fun

Click to expand...

That’s a great idea I think. Let me know when you do it and how it works out. Thanks

This listing has been renewed

Thank you !

In my experience with fx maverick .30 sniper and slugs is that the cheek rest is keeping the magazine from fully seating to it's home position. Take the cheek rest off of the gun and start shooting that way. If that solves the slug jamming problem, then it's a crappy cheek rest that needs to have a lot of material sanded off of it so that it NEVER touches the magazine in any way ever again.

I find it's hard to generalize pellet brand preference even for similar guns. My P35-177 likes H&N Baracuda Match more than any JSB I've tried. It shot a tin of Crosman 10.5 almost as well but the next 2 tins were terrible.

My P35-22 strongly prefers H&N Baracuda Match and had given me a 200 on the 30 yard challenge with them. My Stoeger Bullshark strongly prefers JSB 18s and has given me a 198, so far. My Bullshark also gave me a 194 with Crosman domed, one of the best scores with Crosmans.

My P35-25s are split. One of three barrels prefers H&N Baracudas and the other 2 barrels prefer JSB. The most accurate (198) likes JSB.

Unfortunately my experience is you have to shoot a variety of pellets and let the gun decide. I have a JTS sampler on the way for the P35-177. It has the lowest "best" score at 196.

Good deal is subjective. You can nickle and dime over time or buy once cry once. Parts specs are fun. Like rod lengths and crashing pistons.

The 3 that I had were low quality control and bordering on dangerous in some aspects. I would've prefered to buy 5 Shoebox clones with that money.

Great card Tommy !!

You cannot submit as a Masters, as you shot more than 20 targets.

You have 20X scores on Target Pairs #4, 5, 6 and 7.

Submitting the card as a 30-Challenge, you drop two of the 20X pairs.

This would score your card as a 30-Challenge of 200 18X…

… do you agree?

-Ed

I guess I am not sure.

Even though I shot 24 targets, do I have to throw out the two pairs if I submit for a 30Y challenge? My penalty is that I can’t use as a Masters., which is a real bummer.

Hoever, Is it a mandatory req’t to throw out two pairs if someone wants to use all 24 bulls for a 30 Y Challenge submission?

In other words I shoot a 240-20x card and now I settle for a 30y Challenge 18X? Doesn’t feel right.
