Hummm, not much feedback.
I switched my research into PP700 as a next price level.

I use safety glasses and ear plugs, the need glasses is obvious, and when I reach fill pressure I open my bleed valve as fast as I can , which produces a loud noise that hurts my ears

potentially dangerous ? yes but no safety wear is required , or used that i know of . just make sure your connections are secure.
I think what your filling has more potential than the compressor itself .

My new range isn't done yet but I sat out there and shot the HW40 with a dot sight yesterday evening.

I shot from here about 18 yards in. I'm hoping for 100 yards when it finished
I dropped a couple vine sprouts, killed 2 wasp, and clipped the wings off of one, religating him to ground troops. My aim at that stuff was about an inch and a quarter hold over.
I set up a can but it was close for the sight setting (30 yards) as I had to aim low for good hits. So I moved it out till I had to aim a tad high, shooting about an inch low.
I got about thirty hits before I was getting board and the mosquitos were packing me off. Dinner was ready anyway.

My trigger is not up to par on the HW40. It is very light and the spring disengages after you pull the first stage. If at that point you don't get a shot it doesn't return the first stage.
Anyone familiar with that issue on the HW40 trigger?

Many posts refer to a lathe. I'm curious as what is the lathe of choice. I use a Powermatic for my woodturning but don't have experience with metal lathe's.

My can of leak detection foam showed up yesterday, and I will tell you that the videos on youtube were wildly exaggerating the size of the bubbles compared to what I saw. Theirs looked like your kid blowing bubbles in the park, mine was a little fizz. However, it did work; it was pretty obvious that it was leaking at the external regulator adjustment knob.

Will do

Wow that’s quite the Airgun, beautiful truck set up. The accuracy with slugs is incredible. I think when we dream up a truck hunting squirrel rig this is what we all picture. From my experience, I have found that the REPR regulator design of the Leshiy 2 lends itself to be pretty fragile over time. Were you able to get through the slug testing process without having to rebuild or replace your regulator?

I didn't even try, after the advice of a buddy of mine. I went straight to the HUMA.

Are compressors potentially dangerous given high pressure. What safety gear should I wear while using? Thank you.

I strongly suggest you avoid any and all Firearms powder or pneumatic until you attend training classes.

The first picture does look like there's a little bite taken out of that o-ring, right where that big nick could grab it.

Hello,

What are you impact m4 settings ? In .22 and .25

Reg pressure
Micro/ macro wheels

I would run around 950fps in .25 , 25.4grn pellets and would compare

I tried calling the phone number I found for VEVOR. I only heard a very fast busy signal. I’m guessing that it’s no longer in service. So I started a chat session on the VEVOR app.
All that accomplished was having my complaints forwarded to the service department. I kinda went off on the chat session and the conversation with the service department.
The final result;
I wound up getting a $60.00 refund and not the $20.00 they first offered.
I will never buy anything from VEVOR again.
I bought a couple of parts to try and get this compressor running how it should.

Instead of purchasing guns, I'm to the point where I'd like to acquire many things necessary to complete my setups and to maintain my equipment. I'm to the point where I'm more comfortable trying to work on my own airguns. Sending airguns off to professional shops seems to be a hit or miss affair. I've read online quarrels, horror stories, and then there is the mail-order ping pong game where you ship your gear in for service/warranty work, a tech claims they don't see anything wrong or claims to have done some work, but your gun is returned to you in the shape that you sent it off. Although some shops do great work, not all shops are thorough. With that said, I'd like to pick your brains on tools and accessories necessary to smith my own airguns. I'm ready to start purchasing quality tools that will last for however many years I have left in the hobby. Right now I'm looking at vises. The WorkIQ IQ Vise was recommended by @CoyoteGod and I stumbled upon Berry's Machine Vise for the same price. Both appear to be able to rotate 360º which is great.

Berry's vise https://palmettostatearmory.com/berry-s-machine-vise-complete-system-black-blue.html

WorkIQ's IQ Vise https://workiqtools.com/products/iq-vise

What other airgunsmith tools do you all recommend aside from the typical torque drivers, picks, punches, hex wrenches, padded pliers, spanners, strap wrenches, wooden dowels, bore scopes, etc? What sort of tools for restoring crowns would you all recommend? I saw @nervoustrig with a wooden clamping contraption to work on a barrel, maybe some sort of barrel vise. Is that something that you made?

A mini-lathe is in the cards eventually. I'm still not ready for that. C'mon, hit me with what comes to mind as far as answers and suggestions. Links and photos are welcomed. I probably won't recognize half of the things y'all suggest. If you're interested in doing some of these things for yourself and are just getting started or don't know where to start, jump in with your questions, but please try to remember the focus of this thread is TOOLS FOR AIRGUNSMITHING.

Midway had a good set of gunsmith screwdrivers (precision ground to fit ) so you do not mangle the slots

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This is the truth, this is the way.

The barrels on these AGT Uragans pack slugs in so damn tight. They're the best (IMO)

which bore diameter are you shooting?

Zan 25.5grains .218 at 990-1000fps. The groups are really perfect with this combo and the Power is perfect (75ft/lbs) for my use case because I get a great flat trajectory and its usable up to 100-120 meters for hunting small game.

But I had to try a lot of different slugs and speeds to get here.
