One thing I haven't seen mentioned. Depending on the compressor you ordered, it may not be suitable for filling tanks, only guns. Some of the smaller compressors can use a car battery, or a 12v battery for use at the range, if you don't have power there.

Zelis/M60 bottle conversion is $50 for the adapter plus bottle. If you go with the carbon fiber bottle there should not be a great difference in weight vs the aluminum tubes.

But tariffs are boosting the prices of the carbon fiber bottles just like the guns. Most small CF bottles come from China.

An aluminum bottle will add weight.

Economics it might just be better to stick with the tube and see how the tariff situation works out.

BTW: Zelos is a great choice starting out.

So I ordered a challlenger and a challlenger bullpup regulator, I received two HP SS regulators and two bullpup plenums. Part numbers are similar so I guess its a honest mistake, they told me they'd send two more and I can do what I want with the HP SS regulators, but i also got a invoice for another $69 and they never sent anything for a standard challlenger just two bullpup regulators and I put one in my standard challlenger and it seemed fine, not leaking, fired, but it was late and I put it away. Next day im ready to shoot and psi was at 2k so wtf, start degassing and must have got below set pressure and I heard it shoot to the front of the tube and there's nothing holding that end oring in place then it drops back down and I decided im never dealing with that again and don't need a regulator for hunting so im selling everything in pairs, cheap. $70 for the 2 HP SS and $50 for the pair of Challlenger standard bullpup, the used bullpup regulator is obviously missing the bottom oring that got shredded.
Update, HP SS have been sold

I just discovered some bottled Zelos compacts done by firewalker - I'm liking that. How do I find this gentleman ?

No luck getting parts from David. What I did manage is to order some 304 stainless rod. Looks like I’ll have to make my own button.

I’ve heard that too and all the shops I’ve tried were out of most if not all calibers. I managed to get one of or maybe the last one Fox Air Power had this last March. Mine is a standard stock 24” in .357. I agree that it is really a “good bang for the buck” gun. Mine shoots a couple of NOE mold cast slugs pretty well, but it really shoots the FX Hybrids. They group really well at 100 yards and leave the muzzle at 1120 fps! My maximum fpe is in the low 230’s with the heavier slugs. So far I’ve had 0 issues with mine and I think they’re missing the boat if they have discontinued the line. They’re still not light (mine was 8.4# out of the box), but it’s still only 9.5# scoped. I wish they really were the 6.9# as advertised, but I kind of knew that before I bought it.

AEA is weird like that. It is like they only have a finite bandwidth for products. Once they start working on a new product some current product just dies without any notice.

The aesthetics of the long, separated tube, to clarify.

I like your method for deciding on the gun. Wish I was so pragmatic but even after months of YouTube and Airgun Nation data, I still can't decide. I'm prone to make a cheap first choice only to find out fast that I wanted something nicer - I've done this with guns, bows, boats and fishing gear - it's just my m.o.

I get the saltwater fishing deal. When we go to Florida and sometimes book an inshore trip catching all those different - and very edible fish, coming home to Ky. and catching crappie loses some appeal.

Good luck with that Marauder, I've read loots of good stuff about them.

Absolutely nothing wrong starting out at the low end. Get your feet wet, discover what you like and what you do not like. If it ends up you want more, you haven't sunk an inordinate amount of money. And the accessories like compressor, scopes and moderators are reusable.

If he needs a mere 40 thou, I wonder why not just shim the action in the stock and just raise the assembly. If needed Pillar bed or bondo bed the action after results are achieved.... Depending on the value of the rifle and the situation at hand.

Just for clarification, I'm not going to suggest anything I haven't successfully pulled off at some point of my life

Swarm and the best accuracy I got was from the H&N barracuda hunter extremes. That’s a 3” target

Are those H&N pellets you're shooting, the 18.52 gr. hollowpoint?

Nice. Glad it went well. Had a feeling it would though!

student · Jul 31, 2025

this is on sale from a well known company and is rated specifically for airgun use. i've never used it but it might be worth a try as the shop that's selling it is very reputable. just a thought

or this type if you can't mount the first type

That’s awesome crow. So glad you got it. I hate shipping these days.

HunterWhiteHead · Jul 31, 2025

That’s impressive Iowa.
That is 4 data points for different level springers and one data point for upper tier PCP. I hope to get my low to mid Challenger on paper soon. I don’t have a springer.

It will be very interesting when more people with more expensive and less expensive rifles contribute.

I won't discourage op from trying this, but grade 5 washers don't hold edges as a scraper for too long in poplar or basswood (experience). The phrasing you used for a burr will probably be the most productive cutting method over a beveled edge. Hammering a burr to fold over the corner of a washer would make a relatively effective scraper.

Theres always creative use of a drill motor too.

Is the goal to hog out a from scratch stock or free float an existing one? There's cheater workarounds if its free float.

Hammering it would be better with material that soft, for the work hardening aspect. He said only .04” or so, I’d think a grade 5 washer would suffice in that situation.

I have a lightly used BOG gun clamp up for grabs. I have 2 of them so moving one along to another shooter.

Stick with the washer and use a file to create a burr, sharpen it like you would a card scraper. You may need to play with the angle a little, I’d start at 85* or so. A section of dowel with sand paper glued to it could work too.

Considering a Zelos as my first PCP but I don't like the aesthetics and would like more shots anyway. Couple of questions.

1) I know several people do or have made bottle conversions but what's the current best option in terms of quality and cost ? Should I get the adapter from a reputable source then get an e-bay bottle ? Thinking CF bottle instead of aluminum for weight reasons.

2) I'm thing a smaller bottle, 400cc maybe less. What can I expect in terms of weight gain ? I'm after high shot count and low weight. I'm thinking that a bottle option, even a smaller one, might allow enough air to move up to .25 cal.

3) Should I just buy a bottled gun instead ? I see the Snowpeak M60B is exactly what I'm trying to do but AAF's site notes 55% price increase due to tarrifs. Am I reading that right ? I really like what the FX Dreamlite bottle offers but it's significantly more expensive and getting hard to find for some reason.

Sorry for re-hashing Zelos stuff that is in other threads - I've read most of them - but most seem to deal with very large bottles which is not what I'm after. I know much of this is subjective but I'm open to opinions from you experienced folks.

Thanks.
