What I get for not doing enough research beforehand, lol. I should be able to get into this thing tomorrow, I’ll report my findings in a new thread, either way.

No worries, you bought a great gun!! You may be able to get it to 20fpe, my U2 was at 22fpe out of the box with 10gr mk iii slugs. 80b might do the trick

View attachment 288601Can someone explain to me this chronograph printout? Seems like the hw35 is not very consistent.

Beeman sent this test report with my R10 after doing a “super tune” back in 1998. Not sure exactly how to read this either. Is it 5 shots or 10 shots?

Yeah, my son doesn’t like the noise and is still worried about recoil. I think a pcp will let him focus on the fundamentals of breathing and trigger squeeze without flinching, then later on, worry about focusing through the bang. I have a .243 waiting for him but I don’t want him to get gun shy and develop bad habits from the get go. The black tail around here can get bigger a few more years if he isn’t ready.

Waiting for my W31 to be delivered tomorrow. I got the vertical 220V version. I'm going to use the clothes dryer outlet in my garage, it's on a 30 amp breaker.

The oil for this thing is crazy expensive. The only place I could find the Anderol was in Canada.

Did you get it?

Happens to us all, lol. Found my FN8 last spring re-organizing the garage.

The Slavia 624 looks like the 618 (.177 ) that I have had since about 1958 or 1958. It still functions well, although it falls short (literally) of the .22 PCPs on 160 meter silhouettes.

I'm very jealous.

The Slavia 624 has a two-inch longer barrel and an inch longer stock. The compressor and piston is the same as the 618.

Again WOW! Can you share a bit of the hisrory of these rifles? Where have they been and how did you acquire them? Orv.

Bought them at a auction, have no idea about their history. Slavia 620 price $200. 624 was $150, not cheap.

A common problem with small businesses like this is that they make excellent products and may very well take pride in and love what they do. Meanwhile they are poor business people. Everyone wants instant gratification but the best products take time and the customer should understand that. The business though has to understand that clients must be kept up to date in a timely manner. Many don’t.

Slugs guns are more than capable upwards of that yardage. We are not taking about brown bears.

I see a lot of people saying live trap = spray. Not in my experience or those that taught me. I've trapped and dispatched close to a dozen next to my house, never sprayed, the people that taught me have been doing it for decades without one spray. Skunks don't spray when they drown, may sound cruel but nobody wants a skunk to spray around their home. Problem with live trapping is you will often catch all sorts of things not being a skunk before you catch what you were after. As far as shooting, you just can't use an air rifle and have even close to 100 percent success, probably flip a coin territory at best. You need extreme shock, but less than what would rip open their glands, and yes you can have too much shock with a well placed varmint bullet broadside through the shoulders and rip the glands around their anus, I used to own a .17 rem and at over 4,000 fps impact velocity I have had it rip the glands on a broadside shoulder shot, that was decades ago, learned that lesson. You need to totally destroy shoulders forward and high supersonic speed and there is no spray, shoot with anything that doesn't do that with shock and many times they will spray, sometimes not. It is strictly PB territory to shoot them and not spray with proper shot placement with supersonic rounds, think .223 and faster with varmint bullets that will vaporize shoulder forward. I can do that in my front yard, not everyone has the luxury of land you can do that safely on. Professional trappers live trap them and remove them with 99+ % success no spray, if they drowned them on site in the trap without them ever seeing anything/anybody then it would be 100% success.

And that's why I had my kid do them for me. It also required a different program to unzip the files. So, did you get it updated.

Click to expand...

I didn't have any problem uncompressing the .rar file for the programmer.
I just didn't see the the drop-down menu slider, which was at the bottom 5 options by default.
I thought I was counting down 5 options from the top row, but was inadvertently counting down to option 13 from option 9 in the drop-down menu.

1st photo shows the slider at the bottom of drop-down menu. Option 13 selected.
2nd photo shows the slider at the top of the drop-down menu. Option 5 selected.

After moving the drop-down menu slider and selecting the correct option (photo 2) the firmware upgrade went smoothly.
Updated the firmware successfully!

Barrel is 15mm see images. I put o rings on barrel and slid carbon tube over them. Carbon tube is 17mm inside by 19mm outside. Let me know if you need more info. Thank you

This year for me has just been learning and trying to figure out what I want to end up starting this pcp journey with. I am still trying to figure out if I want to go tank or compressor too.

Tonight’s Dog Walk Carry . I won this Prod from Airgun Revisions. It’s such a simple and reliable platform. I’ve carried this thing hundreds of miles of the last couple years.

Honestly at 175 it wouldn’t be an airgun at all. I know they are capable and at 100 or less my Gauntlet in 25 would be okay as long as I do my job but I would go for a .17hmr rimfire to be absolutely sure. BTDT in a similar situation.

I’ve sworn not to do two things in 2015 and 2026: not buying any more RC airplanes before 2027, I have half a dozen to finish or restore already. And no more airguns this year, although I saw a few interesting rifles available at CMP last time I was there….I’m doomed.

Even low pressure guns blast that pellet pretty hard with pressurized air.

I'm in the obturation "fixes" bent skirts camp.
