Fed ex just called and said my package was gone and to contact the shipper.

The funny part is they asked for a photo of the item. I sent them a photo of the fill probe and gauge I had ordered. I should have taken a box with my address and run over it with my car and sent them that photo. They gave me a case number. Funny part is I actually need a whole air tube regulator and the fill probe/ gauge. So today I will call Rat works and order everything including the gauge and probe over again. Maybe that way the original will show up.

The messed up thing about it, is that even with the photo, i doubt they are looking.

The little dude can “strike a pose” too. He looks like he modeling.

Up to how many yards

Like any optic there is always elevation and windage to take into consideration but I would say infinity. This red dot is a 2MOA and I mostly shoot it between 30-60 yards. I can hit a quarter sized object consistently at those distances as long as I can see it. Pictured is a full magazine (18) rounds

Hi, I have lately become very fascinated by especially the Drozd Blackbird after seeing what it can do with a 300-bar air tank and a 5K card or 4K card.
The 1000-1200 fps at those high rpm is just too sexy for anyone not to fall in love

But is there really nothing else that comes near it from other producers or is it only in Russia they can make something that fast, hard hitting, mod able and also very sturdy??
It really is sad if there is not, but what do you think?

Please write what you have seen, heard or know of firsthand.

Thanks in advance for sharing another love story

It is not necessarily 10%, that only applies to goods made in the UK. If the goods have actually been made in China, as many spares are, then the tariff rates are those applying to China even if you have bought them from the UK. So all their goods will have different tariff rates depending on the country of manufacture.

Im ok with it

I’m finding it difficult to open and close the valve knob on my CF tank due to the gauge. Anyone modified or have ideas to make the knob easier to open and close ( control)
View attachment 586301

Remove the knob and see how it mounts. Square, spline or single flat you might be able to retrofit some plumbing knob onto it. Or I've cross drilled knobs off center and put a big stainless rod thru it for a t handle. If you 3d print and 3d model you can make a big oversize wheel like the scope parallax wheels out there. Then there's the strap wrench helping had or a kitchen bottle cap remover with a rubber pad in it that could help.

I'm just throwing out all the ideas that came to mind. Inevitably there's some stinkers in the mix.

I have been using a red dot on and off on my Wildcat for about a year or so. I switch back and forth with a lpvo just because I get bored. The thing fascinates me most about the red dot is there is zero parallax error. Doesn't matter where my head/eye is in relation with the viewing window is as long as I see the target and the dot when the pellet leaves the barrel its a hit.

As explained to me:

If you take a piece of aluminum from China and forge, extrude, swage, or CNC it into a top rail, you have SIGNIFICANTLY ALTERED it and US Tariffs on Chinese aluminum do NOT apply and only US Tariffs applicable to your country apply.

If however the piece of aluminum came from China as a top rail and you simply bolted it to an airgun you manufacturer, then US Tariffs applicable to China and your country apply.

For TWC it is just not worth the time, effort, and cost to deal with the imbecilic induced chaos that may or may not go into affect after August 29th.

I have an aea I got a threaded base probe for and still turned off the threads so I could put it away. It's personal preference, just keep a bag of orings in your gun case and a spare probe and you'll likely never have a probe related bad day

Not a drozd but I do have a crosman that doesn't have the power, but a higher cyclic rate at 25 rounds per second. It sounds like a little cwis. The velocity is neat, but it's still bbs, and if you're like me the full auto is only fun for a little bit. Have you seen "funnel" guns. It basically sends bbs as fast as a venturi can Ingest them. No attractive form factor but you could send a million bbs in a short time with an scba and a regulator.

On the range, I take it out and put it in my shooting box. In the workshop range, it stays in the rifle.

Promise is a promise. I've dispatched a carrier baboon with a sixpack of Giraffe Piss Lager. I certainly wore out the Allen Thanks & Cheers from South Africa

Thanks for the healthy laugh this morning too

a baboon with a bag full of boddingtons is all I can picture.

Flat 10% i thought .. dors that really blow there brains and cant ship ?
Big ticket probably hurts 10 bucks on every 100 but .. as said whats was good for the goose is now good for the gander. Boo hoo

in the end... it is "we the consumer" who pays the increased costs associated with any tarrif. Period.
Not to mention the endless inconvenience this nonsense causes us.

not much info on the Leopard currently is there

It was suggested that I leave the probe in my Daystate Revere to now wear out the O-ring. I don’t see others doing this. Is it a good or not so good idea? Are there any downsides to doing so? Thanks

not a problem to insert and remove... unless you loose the thing... then it's crapola. I wish all MFGR's would switch the QD foster fittings... so much easier.

Had to download the video for a full size view. Nice warm color. It's looking great; your effort is really paying off.

Read View attachment How-to-adjust-the-Eyepiece.pdf. Because of astigmatisms I see double horizontal reticle lines and I can adjust most of it out with the ocular. I shoot with both eyes open. I now have developed diplopia (double vision) Have not had prisms put in my prescription, yet. I am still shooting a scoped rifle with both eyes open. I am not driving and wearing a patch causes nausea and dizziness. Ageing!!!

I contacted airmaks via email. Not too talkative. Just got "Open 24/7" and linked to the USA distributors.

Was the response from Chris, or from someone else?

I was trying to shoot sub 12 with the high power regulator. I went to a sub 12 reg and it made a world of difference.

My club's rifle range shack has these HUGE Leopold stickers on the windows. Takes up the entire lower window. Can't miss them. Stickers are the perfect solution!
