Buy from someone with excellent feedback. I shoot nothing but Brocock and Airmaks at the moment, but several others come to mind. The two I mentioned are as bulletproof as you’ll find.

I don't know they are so expensive that I have not bought any, right now we are extreme fire season so it's illegal to use them currently.. would be interesting to see what those pellets did to the tree limb .. because that's how I took them down last time.. not a shot in the nest.. just cut the limb..

i never bought them either , thought they were silly kid stuff

According to Jackie she said the mini will be available in the fall as a .22 or .25 . The standard ("long version") will be available in .30 cal at the same time. However the .30 cal mini will be released after those. I heard rumors of next year. That was an email she replied to me back in June so maybe things changed. Airstyk is the dealer so I would go with what they say.

Hello,

I'm a newbie to the PCP world. I'd prefer to buy a good quality used set up from someone. My budget is the $600-$1000 range. What are some some things to look for when considering a used set up from someone here on the classified section? Any Brands to stay far away from?

Thank you for your time,
Justin

Oh man, don't get me started on FedEx... Last four packages I received were all "damaged". Basically, re-packaged with items missing or just an empty box!

Been cycling though some of my airguns. This morning the gun of the day is the Xisico Sentry HC Deluxe.
This gun came to me in .25 and as much as I struggled with it I could not get it to shoot accurately. I tried 3 different barrels.
Mike at FDAR came to the rescue with a complete upper half in .22. Now it shoots anything I feed it surprisingly accurate.
Many folks deemed it FUGLY.. To me it's more of a certain kind of special.

Anyways... here's the "gun of today".

and brake dust from asbestos pads back in the day.

Grew up racing cars. The smell of clutches and brakes burning. The race gas all contained lead. Now we don’t drink from the garden hose.

I shoot from different windows based upon the targets position. So just move the screens down so they are not in the way and open the window when I am lining up a shot. Squirrels sometimes react a little to the window opening but normally they do not run off. Standing is more difficult than sitting but I use the window as a rest which helps. Paper targets get shot from a built in bench on the side porch.

Specs on .30 cal please.

All we have now is that it’s a 14 round magazine but we have specs on the .22 Mini that are really impressive and should translate over to .30 fairly well.

Even if we can only get one magazine at 800 ft./s in the 30 standard and 700 ft./s in the mini, which is purely speculation by the way, that’s unbelievable for such a small platform and short barrel

I also found a fill probe for my SPA guns on Aliexpress that works great, better than the OEM ones. They are only about $5 each so I bought several. Nice to have one for each fill source and at least one spare.

I assume bad opin ons about Chinese airguns is based upon negative experience predating my entry into this sport in 2020. These days I don't know how you can maintain that opinion. The Red Panda is made in China although assembled in the U. S. and wins 100 yard competitions regularly. It's getting harder and harder to avoid made-in-china stuff. Both my compressors were made there and 6 of my 8 PCPs. The Chinese built PCPs I own are as accurate and reliable as my one eastern European airgun and my one U. S. built airgun. I don't try to make political statements with my purchases but I won't buy things that I think will not work or hold up. Chinese made airgun products are OK from my point of view. Not my first choice for place of manufacture but definitely not on the "do not buy from" list.

Pretty sure I ain't the only one that cut my teeth on the window ledge that was painted with lead paint. Or am I?

Haha stay out of my head! That taipan looks so good. I’ve been following the threads on here related to it and it’s not been the smoothest role out from what I can tell. But considering the reputation Taipan has I have no doubt they will get it sorted. That hammer less design is cool.

I’m also exclusively a slug shooter. I’ll put a tin or two of pellets through a new gun just check it out but because of the wind and terrain here is all slugs for me. I like guns that can shoot slugs without a bunch of extra($$$$) mods. I don’t wanna have to buy a barrel/liner to make it shoot slugs.

I’ve seen people having issues the EQ too as it’s new. Mostly the regulator needs a little encouragement to move haha and you gotta dry fire it a lot to get the reg to settle. Beyond that it’s mostly just been playing with different slugs to find what it likes best. All the evidence is showing that it likes them kinda heavy. With the reg at 2400psi it’ll laugh the 78gr griffins at 780.. no tuning… I got the 75gr up to 820fps already too. Not to mention the magazine is actually deep enough to hold the super long boattails.

I bought mine after they did the Trigger “fix” so I’m not sure what it was like before but it’s fine now. The first stage is short and the break is a little long? Hard to describe but it doesn’t feel heavy per se.. just that it’s kinda long to pull. I haven’t adjusted it yet because it’s forcing me to improve my trigger technique.

Beyond that I’ve got no complaints to report yet. As annoying as the reg is to adjust the standard deviations I’m seeing on the chrono are Wild… it’s more consistent than my barra and that thing will do sub MOA at 100y anytime I feel patient enough to try.

Nice. Yea that karma looks nice and the reg on the Gen 2 challenger pro are like that. I have to dry for twice to clear the plenum, probably because of the size in assuming. What's the Max you can turn the reg on the karma?

Short and brief was from the airmaks contact email on their website. Gmail, no indication of whom at airmaks.

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.
