Yong Heng after piston replacement

I have tried couple oils in the past. This Mobil one is a twin turbo rated = high RPM high Temp.
I am using it second year.
The oil - any oil, shall lube the 1st stage piston cast iron rings, but shall never reach to second stage high pressure piston composite rings. If does, there will be carbon build up on that piston and eventually degrade the composite ring life.

N/A  Digital/Electronic PCPs - Brands besides Daystate and Skout?

I've always thought that an ideal PCP is one where one can tune power precisely at the drop of a hat without having to turn this or turn that and then chrono over a string. Repeat. Until one gets to the power one wants. This allows one to practice indoors at 10 meters with lightweight target pellets, go to 30 meters outdoors, and then pest control at 100 yards with JSB heavy pellets. With a digital scope like the DNT Zulus, where one can preprogram up to five pellet and speed configurations, one can just use one gun in all scenarios and make adjustments in a couple of minutes.
This is a bit off topic, but since @Ultralight brought it up and it was his thread to start with . . . ;)

Honestly, if you want that feature, you might find the Huben K1 to be your best shot at it. It is purely mechanical, but the power wheel does an amazingly repeatable switch in power, and again - it is very repeatable. My .22 K1 regulator is set at about 110 bar, and I have in "nominally" to shoot 18.1 grain pellets ~910 fps, and I position the power wheel with a sharpie mark at 12:00 when looking at it with the muzzle pointed up (the wheel can be positioned however you want it, and then tighten the screw locks it down to the wheel with the detents in it). From there a few clicks counter clockwise (to about 9:00) will raise it to about 970 fps. If I go counter clockwise around to 9:00 again (so 3/4 of a turn from the "nominal"position) it will shoot at about 490 FPS, and it can go lower than that if wanted. The amazing thing is that the speed is very repeatable at any given wheel setting, regardless of where it was set before then.

I was so amazed by this that I ran a unique test a few years back - I loaded up an alternating stack of three different pellets - JSB 25.4s, 18.1s, and 15.9 Hades that all shoot well in the gun. I shot the Monsters at ~42 FPE, the 19.1s at ~32 FPE and the Hedes at ~22 FPE, alternating between three targets in that order, adjusting the power wheel for each shot, verifying speed over the chrony, with each pellet weight going to its own target. The result? Three very good tight groups of five, admittedly at different POIs, and all shot in an acceptable velocity spread for each pellet weight.

I don't have the scope you refer to, but I am familiar with them and they would work great with this gun. As it is for mine, I only load up 18.1s now but I do vary the power as needed and have learned the hold over adjustments needed for the lower power situations I shoot in.

I'm not taking anything away from the Daystates here on this, but for this one "trick" I think the Huben just possibly can't be beat - the ability to shift power by a full order of magnitude with no "normalizing shots" in between is incredible. OF course one has to put the work in before hand to know what the results will be, but once known they are repeatable.

I also have a Sidewinder but I find the power wheel in it is a lot more vague than the Huben, which has solid repeatable clicks . . .

What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

This would have been yesterday but I got a refurbed Crosman 2240 pistol. Put a 12mg co2 cartridge in before I paid for it to make sure it was working but this afternoon the gas had leaked out. I put in another one and fired about 20 rounds. I’ll see if it leaks down tomorrow. Shoots nicely though.

Turns out it had a leaky valve, replaced in 15 minutes, problem solved.

Airgun shooting for people with PTSD

I find it calms my mind and keeps me grounded—loading pellets, steadying the rifle, breathing, focusing. It's a quiet rhythm that helps me reset without too much pressure.
Hi BriannaHuffx. What air rifle are you using? How far are your targets? I'm just curious since this is your first post here on AGN. You could just start your own thread under "General Discussion" and call it "Another New Member -- Howdy" or whatever you want to call it and put a first post just to say "Hi". Welcome aboard.

Edit: Looks like BriannaHuffx deleted the post I replied to -- either that or it's hidden from me. I don't know.

Spring piston rifle scope not holding zero

Dont that gamo come with a gamo package scope on it out of the box ?
It does but no AO or magnification. After reading and learning more, I realized that back in the day when my best bud and I would plink with his old Gamo, the reason we probably couldn’t get it zeroed at all was the scope probably came broken. So I budgeted a scope when I purchased my rifle. If the utg is broken, hopefully I can send it to back to utg for their lifetime warranty and use the Gamo scope as a backup.

Umarex  Zelos things.

Do you know the OD diameter of your bottle? I have a Huben bottle reg on order for mine. Has been for a couple weeks. Putting one of my .5L CF Tuxing on mine and am planning on getting one that matches the OD bottle diameter, mine is 61.5mm if my memory serves correctly. Waiting to get it mounted to see how much clearance I have, but also been itching to buy one before in hopes it clears the barrel
I think it was 63 mm ? Are you talking about a bottle band , or a bottle barrel band.?

MINI REVIEW: Huma Mod 40 Avalanche Moderator (Problem Solved?)

I can’t use felt in any of my guns because they produce too much power. Even if it’s wrapped around a cage with tiny openings. My guns just turn it to fuzz. I use the stuff you line your toolbox drawers with. No more hairy mod holes.
My Huma 40 is going on my airmaks krait lite standard in .25. I think it’s shooting a smidge under 40fpe. See how long it takes to blow out the front lol. I’ll be happy if it last a tin of pellets lol

Daystate  Blackwolf owners discussion

Those are some wacked out breech oring sizes...
No way in **** that any of them are correct. Find another source of info.
It's likely that the Ghost or DW breech orings will cross reference but I don't have a Black Wolf...
Bob
I pulled those diagram from official daystate website as directed by the owner's manual.


But now actually googling the o-ring size, it's definitely incorrect or confusing. Someone is asleep at Daystate that's for sure. Looking at the DW's guide to check for reference, it's even worse as it's not listed.

Spring piston rifle scope not holding zero

HW35 with a BB and Sportsmatch T04C. I clean and tighten after each outing, nothing on the stock, rail or rings has moved since it’s first tin. I’m not a blue goo fan if I don’t need it.
Here’s a good thread on droop if you feel that’s the issue.
Best of luck, Brother.

Thanks for the reading material!

Spring piston rifle scope not holding zero

On harder kicking, springer, a one-piece mount is better; they also come with 10 or 20-degree built-in them for barrel droop. That's the way to go.
I found myself in a weird predicament during scope mounting. And just a reminder, this is my first air rifle venture and I was on a tight budget so lots of learning along the way. The eye relief on the UTG scope required me to choke up on the stock to get closer to the scope than I anticipated so I got a single piece offset mount that allowed me to push the scope further back. It was then during zeroing that I realized I ran out of elevation adjustment and learned about barrel droop. So in an ideal world, I would have loved to know all these details beforehand to 1- decide on a different scope or 2- find an angled, offset scope mount. But hey, atleast I got something to shoot with and I finally have a pest free backyard! (currently anyway)

Diana  DIANA Discontinued

The 54 is the best diana has to offer but never over look a 34 in 22 cal because it is a great gun. I had a 350 22 cal it was hard to group for me. I never had a 46 or 48 but I remember growing up looking at cabelas magazines with the 36 and 52 thinking they looked nice. In 1990 I opted for a beeman r10 in 20 cal ....I was drinking the kool-aid on the 20 cal lol

FX  Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

If your rifle is new I would exchange it .
Otherwise I would try to polish those rough spots.
I'm done with it 👍 I give it a last chance .If it doesn't work i'll take it back and take two snowpeak p35 for this price (no money back in our country) .
Seem like trying to split playing cards at 75 M with a Maverick shooting Heavy pellets is too hard.
Tried hard for a while, only able to guesstimate from wind flags as impacts was not visible on the Oneleaf digital scope at full zoom.

I did put a "dent " in a single card but really with the number of shots fired to do that i could have split 5-6 cards at 118 M shooting slugs in my Two.
