Might have tariffs added on when you receive them.

Sometimes, folks that are maintaining free software libraries don't feel particularly compelled to maintain backwards compatibility. Especially across major revisions. Even big companies (looking at you, Oracle) sometime make changes that break backward compatibility. "We never liked javax.activation being in the core libraries anyway, so we took it out. Good luck!"

I'm bringing myself up to speed on arduino, ESP32, etc, because among other reasons the libraries have changes, and some of the code is broken now. Plus I was wanting to dabble in arduino (ESP32 is very similar), and I thought that e-ink display was way cool.

Actually, most of your groups are not that bad for 30 yrds. I shoot at 30 meters and find it a good challenge if I am not paying attention and doing my part. Are you just testing pellet accuracy, tuning your rifles, or somthing in between? Going between a 25.4 gr pellet and a 14.66 gr pellet as you did with the P35X will probably result in very similar outcomes to what you got from most rifles. That is a huge swing in weight, velocity, and trajectory. On the P35X, have you polished the barrel yet? Most Chinese barrels are good but a bit rough from the manufacturers. For what it's worth, I have started to size my pellets with a simple push through unit for a better consistancy in size.

I weigh to 1/10 grain increments which seems to reduce the number of flyers.

I have a 5.52 sizer (die and pusher) that was given to me but haven't found that sizing to that size has helped my two Streamlines. It has been quite some time, and we usually fight wind at our range, so should revisit the sizing. When I have purchased specifically sized batches, the results have been inconclusive.

As must be evident, I am still going around on these questions, despite that some are convinced.

Hi Everyone,
I will try to keep it short.

Typically use my break barrel rifle( .22 cal pellet )to keep the squirrel population under control; however, my brain got zapped by a stroke back in May and have temporarily loss function of my (dominant) right arm & hand

. My pump pistol has my leg all bruised and is a single shot. A PCP is what I’m thinking I need. Max distance should be in the neighborhood of 30-35 yds.
I need it to be plug & play and low maintenance as much as possible.
Here’s the present idea:

1. Diana Bandit .177 -EDIT - I will be using while standing at back door and steady pistol against left door jamb. Maybe carbine when I get better

(https://www.pyramydair.com/product/diana-bandit-black-pcp-air-pistol?m=6348#13154)
2. Red Dot Optic - The 11 mm dovetail should make it plug and play
(https://www.pyramydair.com/product/hawke-red-dot-sights-vantagerd-1x20-9-11mm-3-moa-dot?a=8971).
OR
3. Scope - I really like zooming in but never had one on a pistol - don’t even know if it would fit and work well. Really need help here

4. Compressor- GX PUMP CS3 PCP Air Compressor https://gxpumpofficial.com/products/gx-cs3-pcp-air-compressor?variant=41717596291243
(hard to change mind on this since previously recommended on this forum). Not sure if connection to gun is compatible?
5. Anything Else? What am missing? I got some pellets
Thanks for your Help!

Very interesting, as I have always wondered about the air path taken through the gun, but I can't seem to see the path in relation to the regs?

Yeah, I don’t entirely understand it either and why all of those set screws are there as well

I would really like a smart person with computer skills to make a animation of the whole process
I’m sure somewhere scout has an actual animation from their design process. It would be cool if they could share it….. if it exists

Hi,

it was never meant to tension the barrel using that technique... It just has to be tight in order to not get any air blast to the face. But with the new clamp (which you have), it has an oring which makes sure you don't get air blasted. The front cap is on there very tight. So with the new clamp you don't have to unscrew the front cap in order to take the shroud off, but you can take off that second oring which you mentioned and take the shroud off from the rear (of course you need to take the whole barrel out of the gun first). So that second oring serves like a C clamp to lock the shroud on there.

That large thin nut disassambled whole valve assembly. In order to adjust dwell time, you have to move that part which you said moves freely, so either by using a hex tool which you insert in the middle or something smaller which you put in thru the sides holes and then turn that knob.

Come to AGN to get a cure?!?

That's like holding an AAA meeting in a brewery,

You could look at the saber tactical chassis. It has a built in Arca rail that extends all the way under the bottle. It’s a little more sturdy and a sleeker design. But it’s more money as well…..

So, now to completely overwhelm everyone with chasing rabbits
here is an interesting diagram from Skout about the lower frame and the air path from the bottle.
it “appears“ that there are a number of small allen screws along the frame. it’s possible that one or many of them could leak.
I believe that they used Red lock tight.
unfortunately, the only way to check them is to take the whole upper half of the gun off.
I’ve done it before, but the three screws are a little awkward to get at if you don’t want to take your scope off.

What date is the actual 50m BR competition being held? Also, will there be a comprehensive post after the final showing competitor names, results, guns used, ammo, scopes, videos, etc?

Thanks
Tom

It’s not a wise idea to rest it on the bottle.

I didn't think about the extra pressure it would be putting on the bottle. Thanks for the heads up!!!
I guess I'll get in touch with gray ops, and pay them about twice what an ARCA rail should cost. Oh well!

My way of shooting the 350 Magnum:
80/20 rule, I use 80 percent of the total grip strength for the grip itself, and only around 20 percent goes into the forend stock; buttpad to shoulder contact = Average force or a hair lighter.
This is mostly for off-hand shooting and general walk-around and shoot situations. (Your mileage may vary)

Final words:
It's about follow-through, while trying not to mess with the vibrations.
Go for a hold that you're mostly comfortable with, so you can do it repeatedly.

You and your Magnum, ENJOY.

I don't do walk abouts much but when I do I am happy with my NOTOS. Light and compact and 35 accurate shots plenty strong enough for fur, feather and scales.

6gun · Friday at 2:35 PM

Many are slugs but they're all 22 and there pellets in there. Only those gimmick gold pellets didn't expand and the gto lead free. The one with a hole thru it is a hybrid slug. All shot in a garage into a coffee can full of plumbers putty

Avator · Friday at 2:32 PM

Like I said. One shotgun shell at close range. Bee guts everywhere.

Might not get every one of them but they won't live in that condo any more.

Here's my Slash shot string from a few days ago that I would like to share..... I'm very pleased with it.

Taipan Slash Tactical Compact .22

Fill Range: 290 bar - 170 bar
Reg Setting: 165 bar
Pellets: AEA 25.3
FPE: 50.5
Total Shots: 58
ES: 28
SD: 5.1

A couple of notes:

Notice that shot's 1 and 37 are a little higher.
I have three 12-round pellet magazines, so must reload after shot 36 which takes 4-5 minutes.
Removing those two 'first' shots would lower ES and SD a bit.

Accuracy is excellent with this semi-auto. I was able to hit my 90 yard 1" target 7 times in a row from a bench... best I've ever done with any PCP including my excellent Huben K1's.

The superb Taipan trigger, plus being able to keep my eye on the target without movement or cock between shots is the key I think.

ThankYou ! I was just thinking I should have a cover for my DRS fill probe .

I was looking for one but didn’t like the design or price on a piece of plastic with a hole in it. It was pretty simple, just needed a little trial and error to get the sizing right, a tenth of a millimeter makes all the difference. It’s a 6.6mm hole for the 1st 26mm and 6.1mm for the bottom part.

With deer season quickly approaching. What are you guys taking in the woods/deer stand this year?

BlackICE · Friday at 2:24 PM

Great instructional video and how to remove harness Nest safely with a proper equipment and planning. However don't find too many of those videos on YouTube because you won't get it as many clicks as if you doused it with gasoline and hit it with a flamethrower. Which can be done in relative safety since it was only three in the outdoors. Although you would have lost more of the tree potentially.

I'm too cheap to buy all that safety equipment. So I would have found some appropriate bait laced with friponil and let them eat the food and take it into their nest and over the course of 24 hours would probably kill them all with no risk and less cost.
