Probably the best YouTube videos for the Zulus are CJ Outdoors channel. A decent, balanced UK presentation.

I could be totally wrong with my reply. Just realised you need help with a 'argon Zulus 5/25 ? Never heard of that one.

I am looking for a place, website, person, group or anything that builds and sells custom parts for fx?
I've only seen where guys are machining their own parts but don't have that knowledge, equipment or experience to do that.
I'm looking for a 3.5cc larger plenum, valve seat adjuster and a exterior regulator that fits between the tank and block.
I have a FX Crown MK2 22.cal

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.

Red dots are great. I have a handful on different rifles, but for distance i wanted a better view of what i was aiming at. So I bought a flip up 3x magnifier to try, they make such a difference! I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I liked it so much I bought a second one. The mount is solid, no wiggle, it locks tightly in every position. They can be removed or swapped to other rifles without tools.

BTW the big hit is the fact that the de minimis exemption on orders under $800 was ended. We were getting imports duty free. (Krales)
It's killed the cheap "direct from China" eBay stuff you could buy as well.
How will this play out? Will there be exemptions? IDK
Contact a congressman or two.
But Do not go to a "mostly peaceful protest".

Best thing to do is contact a legislator and lobby for exemptions!
Do it now before the "de minimis exemption" executive order takes effect on the 29th of August.

born2fly: Yeah I have been looking at the exploded parts diagram to plan the disassembly but that will have to wait, I have some traveling to do in the next two weeks; including our annual get together with my friend. So I will keep you posted.

: I noticed that all of my mags (all 4 of them0 were not catching the sliding bolt and continued to dry fire. "Referenced from above.
This was just the sear not meeting the upper "bolt" correctly; this is the real problem with the Umarex M1A1.
Cheap ass design of the Taiwan engineers. Using a Steel sear which hits a soft "white metal" cast stop; cheap but REALLY STUPID, BAD, BAD engineers.
For anyone's information, the Umarex Legends BB/pellet guns are all made with mostly cast "White Metal"
I will eventually fix that next probably with a 606T aluminum or a little steel block stop in the gun, I haven't decided yet.
One problem at a time.

Even though I have had to do some slight repair (After @11,000 BBs) My favorite BBs gun is still the Umarex M1A1 Thompson.

Yes … they’re all made of white metal. And doomed to wear out rather quickly. Fortunately we can use the existing parts as patterns to make proper replacements as you suggested, and end up with something that will last.

I received my .25 Karma EQ today. Of course UPS dropped it off right as I was walking out the door to go to work! So now here i am dreaming about unboxing it and shooting it tmw..... Shoot, who am I kidding I will probably put my Zulus and Yokozuna on it tonight and be shooting off my front porch at 1 A.M!

Well, at least you have it in hand and inside your home and safe and not on your porch or having to wait another day to receive it! You get to go home and have FUN! Congratulations, enjoy shooting it!

Ranchibi · Friday at 9:15 AM

All great advice above! Try waiting and looking for a used Umarex Zelos .22 or maybe a used but upgraded/modded bottled Notos which will be similar to a Zelos with perhaps a little less power.

I recently had the bonnet replaced on my tank with dual guages and now it's much essier/smoother to open and close the valve.

Iowa Airgunner · Friday at 9:01 AM

I know. I been around long enough to know when I am screwed. It happens. I’ll give them the number and move on. The price of the fill probe just doubled that’s all.

Does the mini also come in .30? Or only the long version?

No the mini does not come in .30 yet. Unless you want to send the standard one to Kraz.

Here’s mine. You’re welcome to use the design if you can find a welder. You could cut the cost of building it by using lumber instead of metal for the majority of it with just a metal feed ramp/backstop to take the punishment of the pellets.

Custom bird feeder/pellet trap:

Just thought I’d show y’all my custom bird feeder/pellet trap. “What the heck is that,” I hear you ask? Well, allow me to explain. I live in the Sonoran desert outside of town. We get A LOT of wildlife from quail, dove, hawks, ravens, ground squirrels, rabbits, bobcats, coyotes, badgers...

Nice, I like the fact that you can use the magnets to hang a target on it also. Mark

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.

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

This might be a double post and if so, please delete it, I have tried to, but I cannot because it is awaiting approval

What are you talking about ????

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.

Troy Bakel · Friday at 8:32 AM

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.

6gun · Friday at 8:31 AM

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
