Wonder what the exploding pellets would do ? Probably not enough resistance to the nest to set them off ?Thems hornets not wasps right? At least around here anyways..

PCP Rifle WTS Daystate Tsar FT Rifle
- By TWebster

Looking to sell a very nice Daystate/Ataman Tsar FT rifle.
Rifle is in great overall condition. Wood has no issues, the blue anodizing of the action is not as bright as it was when it was new, but it looks good. The anodizing on the top rail has worn thin and the aluminum under shows, but your scope rings or mount will cover this if it's an issue.
I didn't like the unfinished factory barrel so I put a carbon fiber sleeve over it which is held in place by a small bit of epoxy. There is also a 1/2x20 thread adapter on the barrel, also held by a dab of epoxy and set screws. Barrel band has been removed but I still have it, and the butt hook extension piece is there but not in the picture.
Factory regulator replaced with Huma reg and adjusted down to shoot 8.4gr JSB at around 790fps, but can be adjusted back up for full power. I'll send the factory reg with the rifle so you have both. If I remember correctly, the factory reg was doing ~770fps on average, but the spread and deviation was not that great. Also wouldn't give you higher power if you wanted it.
Great looking, accurate and interesting rifle. Don't really want to sell, but have other toys on the way!
Asking $1500 shipped in the CONUS. Scope, rings and scope base are not included. Please email me at tobinwebster at yahoo dot com or message me here for questions and/or offers. I will try to get some more photos of it soon if I can.
Thanks for looking!

What are your thoughts on lead exposure?

I think the girls were safe; back then it was boy-on-boy violence. It was another boy who stabbed me in the hand when we were having a pencil swordfight. To this day I have a pencil lead scar in my hand from it.As a kid one of our biggest fears was getting stuck with a pencil and getting lead poisoning. I think it was just a scare tactic to keep little boys from messing with little girls.
I mean, if pencil lead was such a hazard why would they allow it in elementary schools.... and still do today?

Hunting with FX Impact M4 .22 18.13 grain JSB pellets
It was a nice hunting day today and my Impact m4 performed great for hunting rosy starling, small doves and a little bustard with .22 18.13 grain JSB pellets in medium winds from 30 yards to 70 yards.
Out of 40 shots, just 4 missed and that was also due to the reason that the branch of the tree was moving due to wind.

A real treat for Sheridan lovers!
I dont believe thats a custom stock. Some factory Sheridan shad gorgeous walnut figure in them. I have a beautiful tiger striped figure on my silver streak. Ive also seen an unusual snake pattern walnut that led me in a bidding war up to $1500 before I said no more!! My first sheridan I bought was in 1966. Anythig and I mean anything I aimed at was hit. Heres a quick story. When I first bought my gun I didnt have pellets for it. My friend told me he knew a store in Floral Park that had them. So we boked over and sure enough I bought the red can with white top of 500 pellets. When we got home he wanted to try it out. I never shot the gun so i had no idea how the sights were set up. He looked way out and spotted some large black bird in the distance. Pumped up 8 times, aimed and shot . HE said I got him!! So I went out there looking for this bird under his guidance of direction. When found it ,it turned out to be a grackle. I paced back 100 yards out! Talk about magic !! But this was true. And those Sheridan bantam pellets were not only accurate but super penetrating. 30gallon steel galvanized garbage pails were completely penetrated and still went into soft wood the depth of the pellet. Just want to mention to AirnGas man to take that rear site off as the spring pressure will eventually crack the solder of the barrel to lower tube. Earlier sights had set screws and presented no problem. Just tap out the thin plastic blocks under the clip and it comes right off. Instead have it drilled and tapped for the williams 5D Peep sight. Youll shoot it even better!! Heres my 3

Which falx (or other mod) for .25 gk1

I run a impulse air 1200 on my gk1 22 shorty and a impulse air 1350 on my gk1 25 carbine. The impulse work really well on the gk1 but you might not be able to use irons with them. I run a red dot on the pistol and scope on the carbine so it's not an issue for me. Good luck on your way down the rabbit hole

as far as what they are in my picture.. I'm not sure what they are for sure but two nests they look like a lot of black color.. one nest is yellow color wasps.. but all three are very near the areas of the worst trees dying off.. but not in my way and they haven't bothered me thankfully because I don't know how to work my epi pen and I don't want to learnmy daughter when she was young got stung by I think bald face hornets.. they make a paper ball nest in the ground.. so she decided to go throw rocks at the hole in the ground.. that didn't work, so she decided to go stomp on the hole..a few stings and she ran to the house and told me that night.. was near the garden, so after dark a cup of gas I put down the hole.. problem solved

FX Beginner with FX Impact M4 Extended

Luckily you can find many tune "recipes" and use them as starting points to do final adjustments. For a year I was trying different things and doing a new tune every week and taking pages of data. I'm in the states so I was chasing a tune to rule them all, slugs up high and pellets down low. I caught the south African infomercial disease and went all slugs with it and getting that 75 fpe to be ultra precise took me some work. I will likely put the gun back to stock form in the next couple years and make it an ultra precise 700mm pellet shooter again.Thank you very much! Yes, I am planning to keep it as delivered but was thinking; what if the seller does open the package before I get the riffle (I asked him to mount the scope) and changes some settings before I can write them down, how do I return them back to "factory setting"? Are there somewhere default values to be found?

well they have not bothered me,a couple tried to start nests on the porch so they had to go.. I don't have any trees to cut that are dead in their area so I am going to leave them alone..
I'm loosing way too many trees for my liking and well if they help kill what is killing the trees then they are a good thing at a distance..
Hateful mcnasty.. if I was going to shoot them down, I'd be plenty far away.. it's why it took me around 60 shots to cut the limb off the tree last year
oh and here's a good one.. house inspector when we bought the property said after inspection..I asked him about termites and he said that they don't live in this area.. maybe not, because I cut two trees down that had termites in the stump.. one was the first one and what a surprise..I cut the wedge and it was normal wood, barely started the falling cut and the entire stump exploded.. I guess it put weight on it in a different place and the termites had riddled the area below the cuts .. was very scary and fortunately it went where it was supposed to and I didn't end up under it..
so professional or not.. home inspector was totally wrong.. so I guess we just have to go with what we find..I have also been told that there's no emerald ash borer here and they only eat ash trees.. but I have pictures for proof and the picture of the ash borer has been verified that it's the ash borer..
