The only real gripe is the flimsy chassis. I need to keep the bipod looser so I don’t twist it getting into position.

Parallax Wheel

I’ve settled on buying an Athlon Heras 6-24x56 SFP APLR7 MOA for HFT and now looking at parallax wheels. The JD Custom wheels seem to be used by a lot of shooters. Is the magnetic attaching system it uses reliable, i.e., when removed and then reattached do the hold points on the wheel return to their correct position? Does it solidly att to the scope? Are there better options available? Thanks, Tom

FX  FX Maverick 30

I have to work on a heat pump this afternoon. So I may not get around to it today, but tomorrow I'm open. We're gonna pull some stuff apart and see what we can break. I am a pretty mechanical person.
Once I take everything apart, I think I'll have a better understanding of what's going on. I will keep everybody updated on my findings

Other  What break action pistol/handgun

Available in Canada, trying not to ship anything across the border these days,
and has enough knocking power let say up to 10 M, .22 cal comes to mind first.
I had a PP750 earlier and now regret trading it.
I want to free up my de-tuned L2 from a property damage protection asap.
Check out the venerable Marauder pistol. Ticks a lot of boxes and easy to fill.

Antifreeze in your pcp compressor?

Good memory.

I am looking at a few, and plan to buy something before or by end of the year.

GX CS4-I, E5K1 or a Legerro. I have all the pros and cons pretty well analyzed, just need to decide. Not in a huge hurry as long as my Dive Shop stays alive.

Thanks for the suggestions.
This site is a great resource for choosing a compressor -
I've got several and stories to go with most of them - price isn't a good indicator -

I purchased a set of five compressors that didn't work from a manufacturer - got all five for $150 and a half hour drive - playing with broken toys has always been a hobby and these were $1,700 units new -
Two problems - same for all five compressors - and with a shop, I designed a replacement piece out of aluminum and only one unit had actual piston damage and became the doner for other parts - one broken LCD display, one bad piston, one broken circulating pump, broken wheels - but essentially its a nice little compressor that will fill a 500cc bottle from zero to 300 bar in about three minutes. It will easily run up to 5,000 PSI.

The original design had a plastic part that would crack and leak all the coolant - would be horribly frustrating if I had bought one new - They stopped making this one and hadn't actually done any failure analysis - they were very supprised I got four of them running with some shop time and $30 worth of aluminum.... its a great compressor now - but there were no parts available, no schematic of the assembly and probably every single unit produced eventually had the same failure -

Units that have consistently good reviews after 2-3 years probably have their bugs worked out - as would compressors from any of the major dive compressor manufacturers - but many of the diving compressors are too big to fill a gun directly - a top off would be a few seconds total.

One really odd problem with guns that fill to 300 bar (4300 PSI) and have a larger bottle (mine is 400cc) is that if you shoot down to about 190 bar, even a 45 minute tank at 4,500 PSI will only give you one full fill back to 300 bar - so I really did want an intermediate sized compressor - able to fill larger bottles for other folks or direct fill my rifle (a top off is a little over a minute). I'm settled on just doing direct fills for now.

Do make sure that you have a good moisture trap/filter - many small compressors will have a "filter" on the fill hose - this is just a little rayon filter that collects some of the moisture but is not sufficient to protect your gear. Better compressors include a filter that has a pressure building regulator so the air actually stays in the filter long enough to be filtered properly.

If the compressor doesn't have one, budget $200 to purchase one as an add on - I use the same filter on both the shop and field compressors - just move it as needed - connects via foster fittings.

Tanks make perfect sense if you are doing 200 or even 250 bar fills.

FWB 603 value

so, there are few 603's that come up for sale in the states besides what Carel sells out of Europe
some i have seen reach the Blue Book price and even exceed it
your rifle even though it needs rebuilding to bring it to 95% would be in the 1500.00 range maybe a little less
now their buyers and seller and both are on the opposite end of the stick
if someone got a deal that is great but that doesn't make their price right either
hell, years ago i got a Diana model 10 pistol for 50 bucks
now the market could be a little soft as we head into some rough times
here is the latest blue Book page
so don't give it away and far as i am concern the best SSP rifle ever made
just some opinion

Thank you HatsanUSA.

I emailed HatsanUSA to enquire as to the availability of a oring kit for my Hat.At44. I was having some difficulties locating a complete set. My email was answered by Kadden who informed me that they did have them. Kadden requested a copy of my receipt and address. This was on a Thursday evening. Sunday, father's day, the complete oring set in my hands. 😁
So I just wanted to come on here and give credit to HatsanUSA and Kadden for making MY customer service experience easy and very fast to get the product to me. I don't know if Kadden is a member or if the HatsanUSA people read these but just want to say Thank you from a very happy Hatsan owner.
I had nothing but great service from them! I had a gun that was a retirement gift from my last employer that had several issues over a couple years. I fully expected to pay for any repairs ( as I had no receipt/ proof of purchase ) & told them so. They repaired a leak ,then replaced a regulator (twice) ,all on their dime even free shipping! I traded the gun after the last repair ,but I give Hatsan USA credit for service.

17.5 neilson slugs

I have a friend with 22cal gamo swarm he wanted to try slugs neilson has some 17.5 in all different diameter! Anyone know which one works best without having to buy all of them?
You kinda need to test them, it's part of the game. That or accept the accuracy you recieve with whatever you choose. You can push a pellet thru your barrel or try and recover a shot one to measure and make an educated decision on what you want to try.

Results  Meeker Sportsman Club (Marion, OH) N50 results 6-17-25

We had 13 people turn out today for our N50 match. It was raining on and off during both matches and the usual switchy winds that Meeker is known for did not disappoint. Scores reflected the conditions. All complaining aside I think we had a great time.

Air Venturi  Avenge-X reg creep

I have a similar thread. Mine was essentially unregulated. I used silicon oil on the outside and it was a bit better for a few days and now it is back to leaking all the way to bottle pressure within a few hours. I also emailed Air Venturi but no surprise. Wish I did not buy the gun. Had it for a few months and it started leaking. Sent it to them after trying to get a hold of them for a few weeks. They fixed it so it now holds air but now the regulator is creeping. My gun is now about 18 months old, very seldom used. I would guess 1/2 can of pellets through it mostly for sighing in. As you all know regulator is out of stock everywhere and frankly not sure I would buy a replacement since most report that it does the same thing. Short of Air Venturi redesigning the regulator I think this gone is now just a paperweight. On my previous thread there were some good comments on how to fully rebuilt it but I dont think I have the eyes or finger skills to deal with the tiny o rings on this.
I have thousands of rounds through my 25 cal Avenge-X at this point - had very frustrating start - didn't hold pressure well, didn't regulate well and of course, then it didn't shoot consistently - At times it would leak to about 100 bar overnight.

The regulator was one of the big hurdles - and initially, the o-ring inside the regulator (which is larger and easy to replace) was a key problem -
The factory o-ring inside turned almost square in cross section - The tiny o-ring on the stem of the regulator is harder to replace but doesn't seem to wear out like the one inside.

Now that things have settled in and the inside o-ring is running better with silicone oil, I'm getting eight shot groups the size of a nickel at 50M and speed spread for the eight shots is 1-2 FPS -

With all the other o-rings sorted, the gun will hold 300 bar for weeks -

So YES - there was initial frustration but with the inside o-ring of the regulator changed, its way better and the gun is fun to shoot -

Thank you HatsanUSA.
