Walther LG400 Field Target questions

Yes I did. I got the ten meter target version rather than the FT version though. I've had it since about March and I don't think I've stopped smiling. It is a terrific rifle. I shoot it just as much at silhouettes with a scope as I do at ten meters with the aperture sights. Both techniques are really fun. Even at the low power level it will smack those rams at 45 yards and knock them right over. A strong wind will make things very interesting though. :)
I'm sorry to hear that yours arrived broken. That must have been really disappointing when you opened that box. Did you order the FT version or the Ten Meter version?
Kenny
I got the FT wooden stock version. There is only one place I found they had them in stock. I was super disappointed when I opened the case, I suppose they’re sending me the other one they have in stock, but I don’t know. I guess we’ll see.I already ordered the magnetic absorber and the quick fill adapter so hopefully they send me a good one this time. I’m also inquiring about getting the green pepper stock that comes on the anatomic just incase the other one is busted up too. Thanks for the response though. I appreciate it.

Hatsan  Hatsan Blitz 777 (Refined Semi/Full Auto Beast) w/ 180 shots per fill (Video Review)

You can't tune it as far as I know. Having full auto function correctly is a little dicey. The first Blitz, when using a Moderator, had to use a specific Donny FL to cycle right, I think the Ronin. Any adjustment of the tuning would probably throw it off anyway. It came like that! Super accurate!
You can definitely tune it.
It has allot of actions that can be adjusted.
Its just not for beginners or has any quick adjust ways. You have to understand the engineering behind it. And its basically AK47 that has a excess air plunger that runs a gear box to cycle the gun. Lots of play and "overgassed".

Hatsan  Hatsan Blitz 777 (Refined Semi/Full Auto Beast) w/ 180 shots per fill (Video Review)

I bought this rifle a month ago.
Had nothing but problems with it.

Took it appart and gave it a full clean and tuned the action.

Runs like a dream now.

But fair warning. If you are not the technical type just return it and hope they send you a better one.

And yes, its tunable. You could even slow down the rate of fire if you wanted to. It runs on a gas operated piston that pushes a rod to a "gear box" to cycle it. Simply change the gear ratio with some custom gears if you wanted to.

And fear warning. The screws that hold the covers in place on both sides of the gun are made of some kind of black butter or something. Terrible quality and stripped clean with little effort

I replaced them when Stainless steal allen key screws right away.

My 777 .30 is now fully tuned to perfection and spits out fx hybrid slugs at 1050 fps

If you think this cant be done Please dont even comment on this. Because it can be done.

The Amazing China airguns.

Must've been thirty some-odd years ago that I bought a Sportsman QB77 Chinese-made copy of the legendary 1960s vintage Croamsn 167 dual-cartridge Co2 rifle for $159 (brand new)-

My first 3 fifty-yard, three-shot groups measured .30", .40" and .50" center-to-center. She's since undergone many stages of evolution, including-

Close-up of it before (now) switching back to a longer bottle for use in my TEXtreme Bench-Rest Silhouette competitions (Slug Class).

Upon discovering she LOVES 16 grain H&N slugs at 868 FPS/26.8 FPE, I've mostly shot her at 100 yards in fascination that a .177 air rifle can average 1 MOA five-shot groups at 100. As excerpted from my testing notes-

8/6/24- Nine consecutive five-shot groups @ 100 yards with 16 gr H&N slugs averaged 1.04” center-to-center (1 MOA)!

FWIW, I've been pleasantly surprised by several Chinese airguns, and sorely disappointed with others. Some have almost unbelievable potentials (as above); others' best potentials are realized when employed as trot-line weights.

Hatsan  Hatasan Blitz 777

In case of the 777 there is a flat screw on the opposite side of the bottle pressure manometer.
Slowly turn it counter clockwise to release the pressure from the 700cc bottle.

Note: allow the air to escape slowly and do not remove the entire screw. Also pull back the charging bolt to cock the rifle when recharging the bottle (slowly) Decock the rifle when you are done.

Never leave the trigger spring cocked for long periods of time to prevent spring fatiqe

Which 12fpe Rifle do you shoot?

Hi Kenny,
A couple years ago I sent this Anschutz 9015 Black Air 10M rifle to Allen Zasadny who did some of his magic to bump the power level up to where it now shoots the JSB 8.44's @ around 11.2 fpe and the JSB 10.34's @ around 11.8 fpe. It gets over 99 shots per air fill. My Competition Electronics chrono only records a string up to 99 shots and this gun will max that out and still be going like the Energizer Bunny. He built the super quiet shroud for the barrel, installed the foster fill in the air cylinder, mounted the scope & rings for me and this gun is THE most accurate gun I own. AND, the most quiet. When you shoot it all you hear is a click of the trigger, a small puff of air, and then the pellet hitting the target. I could shoot it in the house and no one would know. ;)
In its "stock out of the box" form as a 10M rifle it was easily as loud as a .22 cal rimfire rifle. A BIG NO for residential backyard friendly.
I'm not quoting him here because I don't remember the exact conversation but if I remember right it went along the lines of this 9015 being a newer model than the earlier ones that sometimes had the POI shift issue. I have not experienced this running the Sightron SIII that's on it here in the Arizona weather. I have heard of this issue, but I don't have any experience with it.
Do you know if Allen sells shroud for 9015 without sending in rifle???

What did you do airgun related today.

A single shot loader for the Theoben Rapid mkii. Rook a few tries, but got it figured out and working.

The three versions. 1st one was a test for fitment. Things fit just fine, except the probe didn't close, and the 177 pellet didn't fit through the opening.

Second try worked great except it was really fiddly to get a pellet loaded.

Third was the final and works great. Still nice and tight in the reciever, and easier to put a pellet into the rifle.


Overall this 3d printer is a great addition to the armory!

Tuning  Umarex M1A1 Thompson Repair

Thank born2fly.
I am going on the 6th year (guessing... could be longer) with my M1A1 and at least 11K BBs thru it probably more judging by the large full box empty co2 cartridge's. With wood furniture... as I wrote before; "it is my favorite BB gun. I am thinking about getting another one and making some more "Kit videos" on how to improve and stabilize to gun indefinitely and making the kits to sell for those who want to keep them working.
The more I think about this, the more I think the right solution might be to modify the cone valve.
I’m thinking that the bolt needs to move rearward more slowly but still slam forward with enough momentum to activate the poppet valve. That sounds a bit like the way a shock absorber works. Not sure if I’d want to try making such a thing for this application.
Alternatively, perhaps modify the cone valve so that it does not close completely, but permits some gas to leak out the barrel instead of redirecting it all to push the bolt back (a small spacer behind the delicate little cone valve spring might work). Less gas pushing the bolt would mean slower rearward travel. Just so long as it gets back far enough to reset the trigger. Forward travel would not change, as it would still be governed by the bolt spring.
I’m just brainstorming …
