Nothing going right for me. I have three compressors & and not one is working lone story so I won,t go there. But I have parts
ordered for one of my Tuxing & there coming from China. But I have another that a no name YH. It was working
fine when I stopped using it two years ago. It has been stored in a spare bed room. Well I plumed her up hit the switch
she turned the pump over for just a short time then nothing. I thought maybe tripped a bracker.No still getting power.
Is there a trip switch some where on these. I pulled the cover & it turns free by turning the fan. That is coupled to the
compressor. Any idea?

I over currented mine and blew a crimped connector off a wire. Ez fix and It still works..... For somebody else.

$15 or $20 won’t do it. The 760 cost $19.95 in 1968. And made in America. Not China. View attachment 570612

$188 is actually a reasonable price for a well built entry level gun. That's about what my CO2 Barra 1866 cost and its just a plinker too. You can't get wood and metal or even good polymer for a cheap plastic price.

I'd like to see the Taiwanese start producing replicas of the old multipumps. I've been really impressed with the quality of their CO2 replicas, given their price point. Imagine if a company like ASG would reproduce the Crosman 766 or the 600. I'm sure the price would be $150 or more, but I'd pay that for a well built one.

They had @ 4 versions as I recall. The sabot style / weight changed with differing designs they offered.
Those are sorta similar, but the skirt tail / sealing band of those shown above are different.
The SKENCO offering looked a lot better quality wise having no obvious parting line / cast / extrusion artifacts.

Here are some for reference:
These are .22's FYI
Red = 18 grain
Green = 10.4 grain

They look very strange. How well do they shoot? What speed do they shoot? Co2 speeds? Specialized ammo for Co2s? Bueller? Bueller?

No shame in buying the warranty. Another advantage of buying Chinese items (especially) from Amazon is their great customer service. When I got my YH I bought it from Amazon just for that reason.

Yes.

All Mavericks shoot great with diabolo cups, they are accurate but only at distances up to 100 meters maximum. If you want to shoot beyond 100 meters, you switch to slugs, from there of course you have to add a heavy liner, slug kit, heavy striker, and so on. With my Maverick I have shot no more than 30 cups in 22 and 25 caliber, just like that. With slugs, however, the number is over 10,000 shots in two years, in 22, 25 and 30 calibers!!! I have taught him to shoot great in power 75-175 joules. I don't have a carbon sleeve, I don't think I need one. I wouldn't trade it for anything, I have a kit for all three calibers, I have spare parts and consumables. It's mine as long as I live not because I can't sell it, but because I don't want to!!!

I use bottled drinking water with anti-freeze, maybe 1/2 the recommended 'dose' for use in a car.

I use the drinking water instead of distilled water as distilled can be too pure for some applications. With all of its ions lost during the distillation process, it wants to scavenge them back from somewhere, and that tends to be any metal parts in the cooling system. Not an issue with drinking water since it still contains some of its ions for taste.

My compressor is in the garage where I don't have to worry about freezing. But anti-freeze does also contain some lubricants for the cooling system (longer life), and it improves the ability of water to carry and transfer heat. So it works in the cooling role too.

Good explanation for why you don’t use distilled water. Makes good sense to me. Why does GX recommend Using it?

Also, you make a good case for using a blend of filtered water and Antifreeze, even if the garage doesn’t freeze.

Yeah. Stock one is held by an internal nut/2 outer pins and a tight fit once those are gone.

Yeah I use the ballistic tables on mine all the time. I don’t have the LFR version but I have found that I can dial the tables in really well on the app. Just change it to g7 and convert the bc… honestly it’s accurate enough I’ve used it to prove a chrono I was using was inaccurate. It was saying my slugs were almost a 100fps slower than they were.

That's been my issue is that the math is just slightly off compared to strelok. If we could add windage correction to a custom table that would be pretty rad too. Compensate for spiral after doing real world poi confirmations.

I have an Avenger but rarely shoot it because it is so LONG. I have not taken the regulator out of it. But I've rebuilt 3 SPA regulators within the last week and also a Huma a year or so ago. I tried just reapplying silicone grease (not oil) to the O-rings on the last two and it did not fix them. It did work on the Huma which was new. The SPA I did yesterday was mine from when it was new and was 3 years old. I replaced all the O-rings carefully applying silicone grease to the O rings in a thin film. Works great now. I don't know how old the other two were but after O-ring replacement they also are working well.

So rather than replace the regulator I would at least try O-ring replacement. You will need the right size O-rings, a little silicone grease, and some snap ring pliers. Nothing expensive. If somebody does not help you with the size of the O-rings you will have to take it apart, remove them, and measure. The stem you adjust the regulator with has a small O-ring or two, the stem below it with the spring washers on it will have one or two. And a bigger one at the bottom. There are O-rings on the outside too but I do not usually replace those. Just apply a little new silicone grease. So if your regulator is like the ones I've worked on you probably need two sizes of O-rings. I pull out the adjustment stem, remove the snap ring, then push or pull out the piece with the bellville washers and the hard plastic seat on the top. Be careful to not drop all the washers at least until you know how they are arranged. A picture is a good idea. Under the adjustment stem is the hard plastic seat of the regulator. You do not want to push on it with something hard and pointy. A wooden dowel would be great.

You could also remove the regulator, regrease the O-rings after measuring them and try reassembly. If it still doesn't work you now have the size of the O-rings and can order them. If it does, I still would order new O-rings unless the gun is very new.

To use an unregulated gun you need to shoot a shot string from full fill pressure (or at least a high pressure) to the point you get an unacceptably low velocity. Write down the pressure periodically, like every 5 or 10 shots. Pick the velocities you like and use the gun in that pressure range. It would at least allow you to keep shooting while waiting on a regulator or new O-rings.

As copied from a previous post in another thread; edited for pertinence here-




My most consistently-accurate airgun (of many hundreds I've owned) is the latest evolution of my original Mac-1 QB77 Deluxe that cost $159 brand-new thirty years ago; now known (by me) as The Most Improbable Slug Shooter On Earth. And although all that remains of the original QB77 Deluxe is the BARREL and bolt-action, the custom-stocked QB/Gauntlet hybrid consistently averages less than 1.20" five-shot groups at 100 yards with 16 and 20 grain H&N slugs at 28-30 foot pounds.

Although I've had a (very) few air rifles that once or twice averaged better groups, none did so with such unerring REGULARITY as QB/G. A brief history-

I had the stock (above) custom built to my design by an old gunsmith in Fort Worth in the late 1970s for a Crosman 160. The QBs being a(typical) Chinese rip-off of the Crosman 160, some thirty years later the stock found its roundabout way to the QB77; that (by then) had captured a Field Target National Champion title in a different, AR2078 stock.

Last Christmas a buddy gifted me an Umarex Gauntlet; the Gauntlet being another, this time Chinese/American conspiracy rip-off of the Crosman 160. The Gauntlet guts, and a Ninja Flex adjustable regulator, allowed a long-sought power boost way beyond the 20 foot pounds I'd been seeking for decades.

Having never achieved decent accuracy with any slug in any airgun, for some inexplicable reason I decided to make a last-ditch effort to do so by trying slugs in QB/G. To my amazement she achieved what none others could- aforementioned CONSISTENT five-shot group-size averages under 1.20" center-to-center... consistent as clockwork. Many groups go under an inch, some under 3/4"; none over 1.4".

Five shots at 100 yards-




Ten shots at 50-

You stole my guess .........

So, just to update. I reread the responses today.

I know many don’t like the extended warranties ( I generally don’t either),
but three AGN GX owners did receive a full refund from Amazon for a failed unit. That’s good to know, and I I think there are others who did not post on this thread, who also received either a replacement or a full refund.

There is good logic for avoiding and/ or buying the 3 year warranty. It’s a matter of personal preference. Just as an aside, we have Kitchen Aid SS appliances in our kitcen and in 18 years owning this home, I have used extended warranties many times. Broken dish washers, washers, Dryers, Refrigerators, stove tops, Microwaves.

So, it does have a fit for me for some scenarios. Especially true for very limited one year or less Manufacturing Warranties. Candidly, the QC in many of today’s appliances is not great, as much is outsourced overseas.

At the same time, I will seldom ever get an extended warranty on new Products that have 3-5 year Manufacturing Warranties as an example. Those are rare these days.

You'd do better to have a small "pony tank" or " buddy bottle" with the correct schrader fittings to fill a tire than filling from a compressor directly. 30 seconds to do it from a bottle opposed to 30 minutes from a compressor.

Click to expand...

That is a REALLY good idea. Especially for the quad. It wouldn't take a big bottle to keep the tire on the bead.

Wow! Thanks guys. I had no idea. But now that you have me thinking about it, I recently helped a buddy sight in a lower end powder burner with a lower end scope / mount, and we ran out of adjustment on the scope. We were able to get it on target, but it wouldn't stay on target because of all the adjustment we had to use. I but we were dealing with barrel droop. Thanks for the info. Super helpful. I hope I never have to bend a barrel, that makes me cringe just thinking of it.

Yes AOA is top notch. I think I bought my first expensive airgun, an Airwolf MCT IIRC over 20 years ago from them. There have been several more over the years and from sales to service they have always been outstanding.
I would respectfully submit that when you buy used you are taking a chance. Most retailers don't take used guns back, look around at return policies. I don't know the details, of course, but that is not the typical scenerio for them. I would have called and openly and honestly discussed the situation, and tried to work it out, they have always been more than fair to me.
