We tried JTS, AEA and JSB 25 grain pellets. It STACKED the JSB’s (deep). It did not like the JSB (Shallow) pellets. Since the JSB Shallows and the AEA and JTS also have shallow bases I wonder if the poor accuracy of those 3 had something to do with the seating depth? I’m not sure if the seating depth is adjustable on the Vet???

Good question Tim! I will try and contact Tony @ Talon amd see.....

I have a Karma SLS Standard in 22 cal. My pellets are JSB 15.9 shooting in the high 990 range. Accuracy seems to be very good. I think the 1 high shot is when it fell off the regulator, or maybe just me That's at 42yds.

I'd send it back. Something is messed up. That shot count is low compared to my stock two year old 2240 and Diana Chaser. Both of those get 40+ decent shots. I'm also getting 500 fps with 11.9 RWS Hobby. Put the $ in a Diana Chaser if you really need a cheap Co2 gun. The 2240 in stock form is a plinker and not much more. The Chaser in carbine form really amps up the game in velocity and accuracy.

Thank you

Firstly, on the warp models like mine that have the drop block regulator, the regulator is held on by the air pressure- at 0 pressure, the block is loose and wiggly. I think its designed like this so you can adjust the reg pressure using this adjustment screw on top .

I am currently researching how to adjust the hammer spring tension

I would like to revive this thread. Let’s get a section going on these amazing rifles that are now rare and unknown. I recently picked up this pre owned .25 late model WARP, and @Motorhead has been a fantastic resource. I want to make some more posts and share with others

Thought you guys might enjoy this progression...

So I bought a new FX Crown Mk2 .22 caliber - I got a great deal on it. It's what is called an FX Crown "base" - no stock or moderator supplied.

When it arrived from Texas, the seller included a nice case & magazine. It had the new 23 position power wheel. It also had a 600mm barrel (the seller advertised 500mm). That works out great because I already had 380, 500 and 700mm .22 Crown barrels - now I have a 600mm to complete my .22 barrel collection, lol.

The rifle was leaking air when it arrived. That worked out great because it gave me an excuse to tear it apart before shooting it. The leak was nothing - the tank pressure gauge was very loose - tightened and leak gone.

So, before ever taking a shot, I polished the barrel leade, the hammer, the hammer spring, the trigger sear, the trigger pac man, etc.

I put it all back together and slapped on a cheap $60 FX hollow moderator and a FX Crown synthetic stock that I had taken off my now Blue laminate Crown.

I set the turrets for about optical center on the scope, the power wheel on 1 and set up a pizza box lid at 30 yards. I hit it with the 1st shot - registered 796 on the FX chrono. I bumped up the power wheel for the next couple of shots - got to 875fps on shot 3. Then I adjusted the scope and hit my tiny white dot target - shot 4 more shots making it a 5-shot group... dang about 1/4" immediately.

Then I set up the 30-Challenge target and shot 197... "straight out of the box" , lol.

Check out my pictures. I'm pretty certain that no competition shooters are using "straight out of the box" rifles. If they don't work on their own rifles (like me) then they send them to a "tuner" who tears them down like I do and sets them up properly. I can't imagine using a trigger with all that black anodizing rough finish on all the sear faces. Barrels always need to be cleaned, polished, tweaked.

But I have to say - the Crown continues to impress.... even with my prep work... shooting a 198 40-Masters with about the 40th through 60th pellets ever down the barrel is freaking impressive. FX triggers still suck - just look at that thing - not worthy of the rifle.

So now I've got three Crowns... probably will set up as .177, .22 and .25

here,The Bullpup sure could shoot good,the price was right,butt,I could not get over how ugly it was.I know that brand has other newer Bullpups that look a lot better, I'm going to have to spend more...$200-300+ more,which then puts it on my waiting list.It not like now or never,or is it? It is not like I can see the Pup when I am shooting it,but then again I have to hold it.
I guess I am a swallow person,I do have custom stocks on my good looking springers,they looks and also feel better.
I am of the mind that looking good and holding are somehow related...Who cares how it looks as long as it performs good,I do.

"I guess I am a swallow person", ******* Pretty sure you meant shallow, anyway, I felt the same when I acquired an FX Bobcat MK1. Thought they were one of the ugliest out there UNTIL I started shooting it! Never really gave the aesthetics another thought. It actually was quite comfortable too. Like you said, I didn't have to see it when I was shooting it.

Why is this? Do you prefer the Huben's form factor and operationally?

Interestingly, some K1s seem to be extremely accurate. I've seen 50 50-yard shot that is virtually a hole-in-one type of accuracy. One guy on Youtube shoots 300 yards and wasn't a challenge enough, so he took 4 shots to hit 2 coke cans at 500 yards. I know, sounds preposterous. I think his is a customized, but I'm not sure how.

Also, THANK YOU AlanMcD and Arzrover for your great info.

No, I meant something else . . . but first I'll say that as much as I love the Huben K1, I do find it easier to shoot a traditional rifle accurately. The ergonomics, coupled with the higher polar moment of inertia, simply let me hold the rifle on target in a more steady manner, and that leads to better accuracy. Adding the great Daystate trigger (it is nicer than the Huben, even though the Huben is pretty darn goodn - especially for an SA).

What I meant is that the Air Ranger and the Red Wolf are very similar in their form factor and basic ergonomics, with the main difference being in the electronics - I simply was not in any hurry to jump into one just over that, as I had already picked the mechanical version over the electronic one with the Air Ranger . . . .

The Air Ranger was the mechanical sister to the electronic Air Wolf back in the day. The two shoulder identically, and the electronics vs mechanical system is the main differential. These were later updated in the Daystate lineup with the Wolverine and Red Wolf, with the same main difference between the two. The big difference between the prior and new platforms was in the action below the breech block - the prior one (Air Ranger / Wolf) was a multi piece action assembly, and the new one is a single piece of machined alloy, thus would be stiffer and more stable - that said, the prior one was incredibly stable to start with! I was happy enough with the Air Ranger to the point that I was not about to jump platforms, and was not overly interested in a switch just for electronics.

So that is what I was referring to . . . . although who knows what the future will hold - I might just want to try out a Red Wolf with Heliboard in it . . .

Mirror & plumb line works WAAYY better than any other leveling system. If you're not familiar search Mirror method for scope leveling here.

I would be remiss if I didn't express my gratitude for the awesome communication, care and attention I've received from Mr. Hammer. I will be a customer for life.

If you do any adjustments on the hammer spring or valve spring, it takes few shots for it to settled, reg pressure, same thing, after cleaning barrel, new gun. Just do some shooting, put 100-200 pellets down the line if you have new gun and check again

Good point about reg break- in. Just rebuilt mine and recovery times were terrible. After 150 shots down to about 3 seconds

This is a brand new Crown (I'll do another post on the story behind it). This target was the 9th through 38th pellet (counting the 5 sighters shown) ever shot through the rifle - I kid you not!

I just shook my head that this thing shot a 197 30-Challenge and a 198 40-Masters "straight out of the box" - made Becky take my picture with the rifle and cards. In my next post, I'll explain what "straight out of the box" is for EPG, lol.

I am ashamed to admit it. But you are right I had it on backwards. I looked at some pictures and videos and realized what was going on.

Done it myself after using it about 100 times. Put on wats wrong with this now an realise it on the wrong way
