Great shooting Tommy. One of the issues I had with my Caiman when it was new was the cover over the pressure gauge kept falling off. Finally I looked at it closely and it was obvious the laminated wood stock was pushing the cover off the gauge. A little sanding like you describe for your fill issue and that issue was permanently resolved. My more long standing hobby is woodworking so that sort of issue is much more minor for me than things like figuring out why a regulator doesn't work properly. But it's fun to learn new things too.

Thanks Jim! Yes, learning mostly anything new related to AG rings my bell!

Martin likes to get you on o rings. Don't buy multiples, buy 1 set and measure them and publish a size list on agn.... And buy them elsewhere.

At the same time, at the theoben rapid (pre air force) level is $30 dollars a huge ordel?

Yes Sir that will probably be the next order of business within the coming months. Been a springer all my life, but then started dabbing in mulit-pumps, then CO2, and now PCP's are beginning to look attractive. At this point, I wish I could de-clutter and choose one, but they all seem to have something which catches my eye - and wallet; Oh wretched man that I am.

An FX dream line with the regulator at anything above 130 bar pressure will not last more than a couple of hundred shots.

I expected this to be a thread about you buying a compressor.

My list; 2 Benjamin Sterling HR83, .177, .22, Daisy 25s [3], Sheridan BS [2], Diana 48s [2] reg. & deluxe, Hy-score 801s [Belgium] & Diana 801, Diana 25 & Winchester 425, &Hy-score 807 all the same air rifle, Hy-score 805 & 806 model, El Gamo Xp-68 Paratrooper and a few Japanese Diana knock offs as well. I enjoy finding, researching, restoring/repairing and collecting.

Certainly appreciate the effort keeping us all informed. Such nice course and greet people.

Converse were my jam. Course it didn't really matter, the bell bottoms on our jeans covered the whole foot.

Converse " I Robot " Will Smith as Dale " Thing of Beauty ". Love me some converse used to be at Yellow Front $10.

I’ve been wondering the same thing with how much more I am shooting. I’ve decided that as long as I wash my hands afterwards I’m good but also have considered gloves for days when I’m putting in work.

The two hole thing is to replace the old way AA designed the fail safe feature. Put too much air in the old tubes and the tube's end would flare out an release the pressure. You had to replace the tube after that...

The new system just kills an oring.

There is a passage that allows cylinder air to bypass the reg to reach the gauge.

so BSJ,
The cylinder is made to a maximum standard, as opposed to a minimum. It has been enabled for reduced weight and made the engineering slightly more complex.
Will they eventually go carbon fibre and simplify the whole process? I'm no design engineer, but carbon wrapping is increasing in popularity for HPA.
If you know what the regulator is set at you only need to know remaining cylinder pressure, so the gauge could be located in front of the reg, and change the current filling apparatus to male foster in the same housing. RTI Arms have the male foster, externally adjustable reg, cylinder and reg pressure gauges in the one housing; if they can do it in Slovakia...... (One gauge would be sufficient for fixed reg for most people, my thoughts.) Weihrauch: adjustable reg, one gauge, power adjustable also with hammer.
My two cents worth.

I would try the heaviest pellets I could find to start with, you gun has lots of power and lighter pellets will be squirrely after about ten yards. I would hold the gun as center balanced as possible so the recoil travels back and forth not up. You can put enough pressure on the butt against your shoulder to keep it from kicking you like you would a firearm and a firm but gentle grip with your support hand. As some have said try to be consistent with your hold.
I didn't read every post so if you have it tuned down from magnum power than lighter pellets should be fine.

Yep I put a new spring kit in with a 12 ft lbs spring , but with the JSB EXACT RS 7.33g it's at 13.5 ft lbs. Very accurate now. 5 shots same hole , but still trying to get the hold down to the same each time.

just got word from AoA, my Mordax Venom in .25 is on the way next week. Stay tuned for updates!

Does this qualify?

I don't know for sure but my 1st call would be the Martin: https://www.airguns-usa.com/index.php . RAW & Theoben parts.
