Say hello. What state or country are you from?

I know a lot of times I want to say something or click on something ..And I will check there name to see where there from, If its blank or says nothing I just move on, It makes me distrust them and they are hiding for some reason,,,

FWB  Feinwerkbau 800X air rifle cylinder

I may be wrong but my experience with FWB pcp cylinders is the will not support them with parts and a replacement cylinder most likely will be where you end up. I just went through this.

I called most of the tuners and all said no to touching them. One said he stopped because it was about 50/50 destroying it trying to get it apart.

Here is a link for new.

RTI  Aug 4th Mora vlog part#1

For the die hard Mora fans, another practice vlog video. This is a long one (15 minutes) but you'll learn all sorts of interesting things like the meaning of life, is there alien life in the universe and why those damn plastic seals on some liquid bottles are impossible to remove. 😉

Enjoy....

Other  Thoughts about Slugs and Magazines

I like this post. I have a stock a
Zelos .22 cal modded only by 3 things the 500 cc bottle the adapter , and I slipped a piece of
clear plastic tubing over the barrel under the shroud , and back on the exposed part by my face. I only have 15 yards in my back yard shooting range.
I got the reg set at 2,900 the hammer spring 5 turns in , and the 28,s are going 885. I'm getting same hole accuracy from the Apollo 28 grain HP dish base slugs. I don't think at that close range they have even stabilized. The new double mag holds 36 , and that's how many shots I get from full fill to 3,000 which is just above the reg setting. In PB's I used to buy 4 boxes of various ammo whenever I got a new rifle to see which one worked best , but then started to reload with these variables case , powder ,bullet ,primer. Until I was able to dial in the perfect round. In Airguns the Zelos only has mags I mean there may be a single shot tray but I don't care for them so I never looked. One thing you did not mention is the possibility of lube which I don't use because I never cleaned the barrel as lead itself is lubricating , and the competition shooters is where I read they don't clean the barrels , so I don't either. The probe idea is great , but the dish base slugs work great for mine , so it would be finding the slug that works well for your probe , and not the other way around. A dedicated sluger might be the way to go
I have 2 barrels for my Zelos , and they switch very easy , so I use a dedicated slug barrel for my slugs. With the Zelos being able to easily mod to the FX liners Which come for both slugs , and Pellets might be an Idea. Lothar has the new polygon barrels which provide less friction as far as rifling goes. I'm going to say it's just a trial , and error thing with so many variables , but from reading here I learned the the heavier slugs , or pellets moving at 920 to 950 seem to be the most accurate. I want to see where this goes. OldVet
Edit: Great video , and after watching I thought maybe a small adapter added to the probe could be added to bring the shoulder out a little more.

Western Airguns  Mordax (Venom) Parts Diagram / schematic?

Update on new unit.. Chrono numbers at 51ftlbs stock with 30cal 44.75gr fx pellets 725fps. Venom booster regulator set to just under 150bar from factory. It seems I'm getting 3 mags from 285bar fill to about 150bar (36 shots). Id like to get Chrono strings to get an exact shot count from 300bar. It seems pretty loud with the 0db compact moderator. A little better with the Donnyfl tanto 30. Donnyfl shogun makes it backyard friendly. Probably going to turn it down to 690fps to see how that helps the report of this short barrel. I'll try to do a follow up post this weekend with a video. So far I'm liking it.

Arizona State PCP championship and AAFTA Grand Prix - August 15, 16, & 17, 2025

Weather is looking great compared to here....High in the 80's and lows in the mid 50's. Possible rain also.....We all know how that goes here in Arizona...It's monsoon season and those storms can show up in just a few minutes......Should be a great time

Hornets nest

If you like excitement, entertainment and don't mind some danger, then buy one of these and shoot the nest and run like hell.
If you are real brave/stupid just save your money and used a baseball bat or broom handle.

New to PCP air guns, wish I came to this site sooner!

As said above. Buy a tank that is DOT certified or a shop won’t fill it. Very important. Majority of ones sold on Amazon and eBay aren’t. On eBay you can get acecare dot tanks. If buying used keep in mind they only have a 15 yr life for professional fills and have to be hydro tested every 5 years. So check the dates stamped on the tanks.
Thank you for the info!

What springer did you shoot today?

Really Crow? That wasn't the brightest idea. I'm surprised at you.

Oh I don't think you have enough hanging targets either 🤣

Love ya Dave
Ya, I deserve a toung trashing. Late in day, tired and lazy by that time. It was in back of buggy, too easy. Figured these guns don’t miss. Easily 8-10 inches of clearance. No way will I hit the can. First shot with the 601. Wasn’t prepared for that. Called myself a few good adjectives. Crow

USA made Crosman Destroyers?

I landed a part-time at a local gunshop and started this past Monday.

I was walking around the store to familiarize myself with where everything is located, and found our small (for now) airgun section. Currently we have 1 .22 cal pellet in stock - the Crosman 14.3 gr Destroyer. I've wanted to test these for a while now, so I bought a tin.

Once I got home, I saw the lid was painted - not a sticker, and on the packaging, it said "Made in the USA, with globally sourced materials." Isn't the painted lid the first giveaway of the USA made pellets (that plus the 'Made in USA on the packaging?).

Once I get my rifle back, I'm going to do an intense testing of the accuracy, and if they do well, I might buy out our supply.

Other  Thoughts about Slugs and Magazines

I enjoy modest power (below 50 fpe) airguns and pellets for most of my shooting but a strong curiosity about slugs has had me investing in a couple of PCPs specifically for them.

I'm trying to figure out what makes finding the right slug and getting consistent groups so elusive when the powder burner guys can buy any off the shelf ammunition (let's just call them "bullets") and expect reasonably good results.

In looking at the problem I strongly suspect that slugs face alignment challenges that bullets don't.

A bullet, mounted in its cartridge is accurately aligned to the case and seated to a standard depth so that when it's chambered it is in the optimal position (relative to the rifling) and orientation to be fired down the (unchoked) barrel. Bullets are typically quite long relative to their diameter which benefits them both in the bore and in flight. The huge amount of energy/pressure available has no problem forcing a tight fitting, well sealed bullet down the bore.

An airgun slug has no "support system" and must rely on the probe and the magazine to chamber it straight and position it relative to the rifling.

Considering that each brand and weight of slug has a different length, the type of the base (flat, dished or boat-tailed) and the design of the probe will affect how the slug seats in the breech relative to the rifling and transfer port. I think an adjustable probe might be useful to have.

The shape of the slug and it's length (short and pointy versus a long cylinder) would influence how easily it could be misaligned while being chambered.

Airgun bore size and consistency and finding the exact correct diameter of slug to achieve a good seal without excessive friction is an other variable to consider.

Then there's choked or unchoked barrels and rifling twist rate considerations... or some sort of compromise for PCPs that are pellet/slug dual purpose airguns.

After all the mechanical considerations there's the tuning for optimum velocity and harmonics.

Are we having fun yet? 🤪

So if we look at worst case and take a short pointed slug, abuse it in the magazine; mis-feed it so it engages the rifling cockeyed and compromises the sealing; fire it down the bore to be extruded through the choke and launch it into the world in a blast of over-powered turbulent air, are we really surprised that it takes the slug many yards of erratic flight to sort itself out?

But man, is it ever beautiful when we get everything right and stable flight and sub-MOA groups happen! 😍

Anyway, just food for thought. Please feel free to ignore me or to add you own theories.

Here is a link to a video about magazines mis-feeding pellets that probably applies to slugs as well.

Cheers!
