RAW Rapid  LRT stock or chassis?

blueflax
Laminate is my choice.

Front sling attachment is often questionable on bottle guns due to the thinness of the fore end. The stock pictured looks thicker and longer than my Boss for example. That along with the laminations should make stronger in the face of the stresses of a sling or a bipod. I always shoot with a sling when possible. Note the placement of the bipod on the other rifle suggesting that it is too flexible for a bipod or a sling further out.

Besides it looks better.

Now I'm thinking get a 'bottle' to bring to the range with me to top off. Haven't even touched the gun and already thinking of what more do I want (G).

In order to save steps, it might be worthwhile to try to estimate the amount of air/shooting that you need in a session. I found that a bottle wasn't large enough, so I switched to a 45-minute SCBA tank. Later, I discovered that the SCBA was more trouble to transport and to fill, than is my GX CS3 or my CS1 clone.

For the last couple of years, I have simply plugged the compressor into the power at the range and can fill as many times as needed. When I get home, no need to bother with refilling a tank. It's all part of calculating one's best balance of factors.

Tuning  Umarex M1A1 Thompson Repair

B
ninersix said:
Yes, I thought about that also. The telescoping black plastic tubes got my attention. So I decided to compress the black tubes which exposed the sear in the gun after I removed one screw holding the tap cover, it slid forward after I pulled the trigger. After looking at it I started to think about where id the return spring? It must be in the larger tube. The Large tube is stationary, so I compressed the small tube and got a good look at the bolt release. There is a small round peg, probably just a stop, I was thinking how about a smaller spring in the small black tube as an additional buffer?
I do not know without thinking about it some more. What do you think?

I don’t think adding a spring will do it. I’d fish around to find what stops the bolt’s rearward travel and add a soft plastic stop. The bolt spring should push it forward and the Co2 should push it back, but what limits that rearward travel? Now, it’s possible that a heavier bolt might not travel back far enough to hit the frame. That would be ideal … if the Co2 has enough kick to reload but not enough to ram the bolt against the frame.

Air Arm S510 targeting rats again

Contndr35BB said:
Max , great video as always. I went to the barn this past Saturday & hung out throughout 3 separate T -Storms . Not figuring on much activity, 'cause I've taken 8-10 over the last month. I took two magazines (12 shots ea.) with me into the barn. Rats were spotted earlier in the day by the farmhand so I figured 24 shots would be plenty. As soon as I turned on the IR light I spotted eyes everywhere ! Long story short ,I missed a few but came away with 10 rats plus a couple mice in the bucket with several rats not retrieved because of extra messy conditions in the holding area.No time for pics as the rain slowed enough to toss the bucketful over into the pasture for the"cleanup crew" & get out of there just in time for the next storm dump ! I was using my Kral NP03 ,w/ a bottle/reg conversion .I emptied both mags ! It's tossing Hades 15.89gr.s at ~ 650fp.s at the current setting. My ranges are close to what you were just into. Also, several rats were just a bit larger than mice , so the next generation was coming out & about on their own.

Nicely done! Always bring enough ammo as you never know when you will need the extra shots. Good job tagging them rodents. I am hoping the rats will repopulate quickly so I can come back out to feed them some tiny .177 cal lead, lol.

I will go to the other farm for some outdoor and much larger rats action with my FX Impact MK2 or with my HW100T. Cheers.

Other  Walther 210

crowski
These last 2 orders I received are probably were nerve racking to say the least. Had 3 rifles 6 months to the day get delivered. And this gun was shipped in June. Two weeks ago Purolator called and told me they had no idea where it was. They would refund the sender. Next thing I know I get an e-mail to pick up your package. Which I did today. 45 min. drive away.
I bought 3 rifles from this guy. All the same case and locations. First bill was $55. Second time they wanted $171. I asked if they were for real. Ended up paying $91. I was pissed. This time, it took almost 5 weeks, (pony express would be faster) $71. Same case and locations. Lesson learned.
Any who this is what I was in a panic for. Even more so than the other 3 rifles. Those I can reorder, this I can’t.
Walther LG 210. I was told it was a j model, don’t see it.
I don’t remember hearing much about this rifle, but it’s a Walther.

Other  Market value of Aeron B96 CO2 match pistol?

marflow 777
a screw what does it tell us
when the edges are rolled over and it is scratch it tell me the person with the screwdriver had the wrong size and didn't care but that screw doesn't belong there as the pictures i posted shows
i will state i am a damaged screw snob, i can't stand to see them and if i have one they get replaced or as least repaired
rusty screws get me going too, they are the window of how the gun was treated

RAW Rapid  LRT stock or chassis?

MikeAllen
I have a .25 LRT in an MPA chassis like @woogie_man pictured above and a .30 LRT in a black laminate stock. I mistakenly sold my original R.A.W. chassis and missed it so just bought one from another AGN member. I like all of them - just depends on what you are comfortable with and what you are doing - field shooting, benchrest, etc. Bottom line is that the HM1000X LRT action is great!. The barrels are great! And it's an air rifle I don't have to constantly work on, replace o-rings, tune, fine tune or anything else that takes away from shooting time and pleasure. Oh yeah - also accurate as hell!

Vortex Venom 3-15.. hmm

I
MACTEN said:
I purchased the MOA version to try out based on Joe's review ( Cyclops) some time back..
I had read some people having issues with the 5-25 with maybe not the greatest glass..
Well I can say for sure that the 3-15 x 44 that I got is an extremely clear picture all the way to 15 with very good ranging and focus that isn't too finicky.
Yeah the turrets a little mushy compared to others, but the crystal clear image more than makes up for it..
I have never had a Vortex but had to try.. Glad I did.

HW/Weihrauch  Ok Weihrauch Airgunsmiths, I need some advice... HW35 Barrel Latch Worn

Pellets&Pistons-(Razor62)
specie said:
...so what? He has to tap the barrel down as on any other Weihrauch break barrel. The barrel does not flop down by itself?...
Click to expand...
Chuck's right. I'd like the rifle to perform as it should. I shoot from a bag for the most part. If I plop the rifle down on the bag a little too hard, the barrel will break open slightly. I'd prefer that the latch worked properly. It's still very accurate, but it's a piece of mind sorta thing.
