First of all, thank you very much for the clarifications. The original regulator is in perfect condition, but due to the impossibility of measuring the regulator pressure, I ordered one from Huma (getting an original one in Europe is almost impossible) so that a custom tester could be made for me without having to touch the original.

so is the XL better yes no maybe
now a thought if these are being made in China as we know they are they would, could be in the tariff wars
in reality there should never be a shortage of these pistols but Gamo bought Crosman and i believe Gamo could screw up an empty room
i believe you should move on from Crosman as we stated yesterday

One place I will never purchase pellets from again is Midway USA. They are a great vendor EXCEPT pellets. I ordered half a dozen H&N pellets and two of them broke open in shipping. 1000 pickup right out of the shipping box. Oh I was pissed!

I sent an email to Midway today about this... as a "courtesy call" or "heads-up." They responded asking me about the damage to my pellets. I replied that I got lucky with no damage but that perhaps they simply don't know about the "special" status and needs for shipping pellets safely. I replied with a detailed explanation (and photos). We'll see if they respond favorably to my suggestion as a "long time big fan and customer."

Finished another 2240 build @ 4:20 this morning. Shot it for awhile after I mounted a Simons red dot.

I ordered the XL just for the steel breech. I then ordered a plain barrel from Mellon Air so I could put sights on it. It is still in the wrapper on the bench, will get to it someday. Did you try anything on your other one?

Wondering why you replaced the stock RAW HM1000X regulator. Did you have a problem with it?

I've been happy with pricing, selection, policies and customer service at Utah Airguns.

Do you have the specs on the Urgan 3 compact version?
Wondering what the weight of the gun is, and how much power we can achieve with the 400mm barrel on both .22 and .25;
Also if the configuration is slug/ pellet friendly

The NRA established two 100yd smallbore targets that have the 10-ring or X-ring @ 1moa or 1"...depending on the specific target being shot.

Essentially, that set the bar for competition shooting...many yrs ago. Now, groups are typically judged by MOA (measured center to center from the two furthest shots).

Pellets, being slow and draggy, tend to be very difficult to shoot into 1moa @100yds, esp with higher shot counts (3 vs 5 vs 10 shots, etc.).

It is also difficult to measure "one hole" groups (multiple shots), which is why many 100yd smallbore competitions feature 1-shot-per-target for score (this also helps with cheating, eliminating the need for moving backers).

If you want to compare with others, use MOA (or MILs, if you're metric). I usually just write mine down in my log (in inches v yardage, which is an easy conversion to MOA if I want) and just try to get better.

I only hunt with my airguns, so I too need 0 poi shifts. My two current guns are an airmaks katran compact and AAA Evol 15" both in .22 and they are solid as a rock. They get dinged and bumped constantly with 0 movement. My daystate huntsman was also rock solid as well as the jts airacuda. Imo anything with a barrel band needs to be attached to the airtube in a fixed position. My dads fx dreamline wandered all over the place, put the barrel band on and ended up doing what you were talking about, where it would rack and stay. Ultimately we epoxies the barrel band onto the airtube, problem solved.

I would say most air rifles these days have pretty solid barrel setups where they can take some banging around and hold zero.

Pyramyd just posted this video on a HPA conversion tank from Air Venturi to convert the Komplete. It's $99.


I was thinking though, if you wanted to do this on the cheap, couldn't you just drill and tap the end of a Nitro cartridge, and fit it with a foster fitting valve? What's that part called that would provide the foster fitting and one way valve into the cartridge?

Thanks for the update Tommy
Only to 250 bar....hmmm
Nope...it stays in the box as a costly reminder not to buy gimmicks + i couldn't sell it in good conscious. I think it is junk
Hope the repairs hold out

Not only that but $150 is a lot of money for a problematic 1st generation device that is having frequent repair issues from our members.

I wonder if Brian is working on an updated more reliable EzAy fill 2 to replace the first generation. Even if so, I would not pay another $150.

I will report back on this thread once I get the replacement and see how it goes.

Honestly, for some owners like me, I didn’t use it above 250 BAR max fills. I personally can attest that my dive shop fill intervals were longer using the device. I could physically look at my GW tank pressure gauge and easily assess if I was conserving air based on 8-10, or more top off from 175 BAR as an example.

It makes sense if you only bleed once vs 8-10 times during a session that a user must be saving some air from which is in the hose.

But, I understand your frustration and only hope the new one works better.

I’m not holding my breath.

On that amazon page, the 4-16x50 is better for hunting than the 6-24, no? I already have a Athlon 6-24 but the pov is not suitable for hunting. That 4-16 looks good at $374

Well I spoke to soon,,, guess I won't be getting one

I have always started at Pyramyd. If they don't have it or carry it I'll look elsewhere. I love small shops and their creative stuff. That's where I'd look for a custom stock or custom ammo. Definitely depends on the product I'm in the market for.
