Air Arms  AA S510 AIR LEAK

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.

Diana  Springer Shooting Technique

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.

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-

Winning a Field Target competition with high match score against a field that included two other National Champions, after changing to a custom stock and shorter HPA bottle.

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.
