In my EDguns, 850-890 is a good speed for the 25.4s. This can usually be achieved at or below the factory reg setting of 125 BAR using only HST adjustment. Make sure you set your speed at least 13-15 fps below the maximum speed at a given reg pressure. This seems to improve SD as well as efficiency.

The guns can run the pellets significantly faster, but 850-890 is consistently a very stable speed for the EDguns with pellets. Some guys are very successful as high as 925. I see better results around 880. That assumes you want that much power. You can certainly shoot all the way down to 550 if you shoot short distance or indoors.
Can i let the hammer spring be too powerful? How do i know when to stop

Diana  Sight replacement

if i were you i would try to take the front sight mount off first
i remember trying on a dead 48 i have and gave up

now most posts will say you can just drill out any muzzle brake to 15mm and to that i say HORSE FEATHERS
you would need a drill press a way to hold it 90 degrees to the table and a drill bit
large drills love to walk and a lathe would be your best bet and even fewer of us have a lathe

I have taken the entire front sight off that’s what made me start thinking about something to put in its place. The barrel is shrouded and there are groves cut into the barrel to align the sight.

What did you do airgun related today.

Two grocery stores didn’t have baby back ribs, so I went with bacon wrapped tenderloin. Almost to temp.
I’ve been spoiled with PCP’s with scopes. But I just hit 3 in a row at this spinner at 18 yards with iron sights. I’m thoroughly enjoying this rifle.
Since this one will go to my son, I’m debating getting another of the same rifle or a Beeman R9 22 cal to shoot alongside him. I have time to decide. Tough choice.

New Hatsan Factor BP 30 cal.

I just took delivery of a New Hatsan Factor BP in 30 cal.
I have other Hatsans , so I knew I would need to Give it the once over.
First the crown. It is not up to my specs. as a prior QC in the Aerospace industry, and as a gun owner.
Sooo, i honed it using some valve grinding compound followed by some JB bore paste.
Now it is as perfect as can be under the bore scope!
Next was the hammer tension which I put at halfway.
The trigger was terrible, and the Owner's manual sent is not representative of the Normal quattro trigger.
The adjusters are located about 6 inches rear of the trigger and accessed through holes in the stock. They are not on the trigger!
I left the #1 first stage adjustment as is. I adjusted the #2 screw , which removed the unnecessary creep before break.
#3 screw was adjusted to a nice 2# pull via my trigger pull guage.
I have owned other Hatsans, so I knew they were not out of the box ready to hunt with.
I mounted a WestHunter 4-16 SFP scope with fine graduations and 1/10 mil, adjustment, on top of a -10 base.
First shot at 33 yards, 12" high and 6" left, second shot 1" high 1 " left, 3rd thru 7th shots 1 ragged hole with JSB 44.75. Pellets
Now I'm ready to shoot some sage rats, we're leaving tomorrow for a week! Yeah! Offline and out of touch till then!
And a Blessed and Happy Father's Day to you, my brothers!

It's been a hell of a journey..., but wouldn't part with it. Loves Corbin 35.5 rbt .218. With the constant swirling winds here, I'm no longer even slightly interested in pellets. Does what I expect out of it.

Diana  How long can a springer be left cocked before spring degradation?

TX200 left more than 18 hours a few times . no problems .
A Remington 1000 ws left in a garage corner they said 3 years @ a garage sale , I went in their yard to load and shoot , found it was cocked and loaded , shot into the woods , what a surprise . just my personal experience . But i would not leave over an hour or so . I leave my HW97 cocked while awaiting game to show up .

My new (to me) slug gun. .22 Edgun r3 long. Shoots Daystate Howlers, 20.3gr or equivalent NSA and .22 FX Hybrids (22gr) @ 950fps(I believe) View attachment 569696with superb accuracy & distance. Between Derrick Wall (zx10wall) & Mike Bricker (Centercut) working their magic on setting this thing up there's absolutely NOTHING to complain about. 161 yard kill is my best with it so far. I expect it will only get better.
Gotta love those single shot Edguns. 👍

Diana  How long can a springer be left cocked before spring degradation?

I'm talking Diana 48 specifically, and all springers generically? Reason I ask is I don't like to leave it cocked, but sometimes my targets don't show up for 20 minutes. The gun is a pain to cock when target presents itself.

Huben  GK1 Grip wood burning and polyurethane.

Holy Smokes!! Want to intro all three and explain the purpose of each? i.e. Caliber, power setting, etc.

What are the moderators? And which is most effective?

Also, have you tested accuracy of each at longer distances such as 50, 75, or even 100 yards?

Again, a most impressive stable!

RAW Rapid  Plenums for Theoben or Raw

It would certainly work , the issue is the very small volume in these fittings . Not much gain from the 5 or so cc’s af air. There are banjo bolts that have the same thread pitch. One of them in combination with a small manifold would increase the volume to something usable.
Do not understand how you would fit a banjo bolt and manifold, inline with the original regulator?

Take Aim .1775 slugs

They shot outstanding at distance. fat grey @ 115yrds, .082bc were the numbers i got. Alt 1132', 732.2 mmHg Barometer, 69% humidity at 85.5 deg F.

Dialed 4.8 put the dot on her the upper right corner of her shoulder. Pop. the hole couldn't have been more perfectly on the dot. Heart/lung punch, knocked off the tree, DRT on retrieval.

Where they were aimed, they hit exactly. NO flyers, perfect.

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-

Outstanding!

Diana twenty one!

This week I received this rifle and Diana scope and the scope was one of the best that comes with rifles. Mounted the scope and for the first in many air guns the scope needed no adjustment as it was dead on at 12 yards and very accurate and so easy to cock and shoot. The very best rifle/scope combo I have. Charles

AEA  Megalodon loosing air

My aea sf 30 and my hp 50 both used to leak down to 4000psi over a few days or so. A few months ago I put a few drops of silicone oil inside the fill probe then filled with air. They both now hold 4500psi, it was an instant fix. I read about people doing it to their sf on here. It's worth a try. O rings can dry and shrink. Check valves can get stuck.
Thank you ill try that i have airgun oil
