My first true magnum Beeman R1

Nice gun. Crow

Thanks for all of the info. I'll check some things out this weekend. One thing I noticed, the oil is quite a bit darker than it was.
Also, what is the function of this breather thing? I noticed there was air bubbles coming out from behind this when spraying soapy water while the compressor was running. I'm assuming that might be normal?

The first one laminate stock is beautiful the last one shorter barrel is that a HW 77 Carbine.

The last is a carbine model and .25 cal. One of my favorite guns.

I like the looks of the carbine better but the longer 77’s are easier to jack. One rifle I hope to use easily as I age. The one on top is a carbine as well, .22 cal. . Tuned by Venum in the UK. Crow

I was just informed that TX200 uses same power plant (spring ) in the .177 or .22 barreled guns / wonder if that holds true of the HW 97 /77 ?

I just bought springs for both and they are the same.
‘The 85, 95, 98 and R9 are all the same as well. Different from the 77-97. Crow

is the air coming out the HPR reg hole?
If Yes, take out the reg and wipe down the inside of the housing of the reg.
if it is dirty, or has too much lube in there, it might cause the orings to slip
My friend Augie helped me out with this one

Thanks, I will try that

Is the fill pressure less than your HPR setting?
Possible you need to take a dry fire when the leak starts to seal the valve
or you might have a damaged oring in the regulator

Thanks for your input, I've removed and checked both HP and LP regs and o-rings are fine. Can't check set pressures because I can't get enough air into the gun for gauges to move. Tried dry fire to no avail. Guess I need to wait for Skout to respond.

Best of Luck!! ...been following Worlds? ..can't wait to hear about the 50m

Yep our guys are holding their own over there. Can't wait to see what they do on Monday in unlimited. Hope the weather clears up and conditions are perfect for new records to be established. The guys representing USA are more than capable of breaking records if the wind will cooperate.

I use a dry lube HBN-hexagonal boron nitride ...slick stuff, but can get messy
Better or Worse than petroleum lubes ...meh ...about the same, but I'll keep using it til I run out
a little 2oz jar goes a loooong ways

Oh thank you for adding to your explanation if 5 to 6 pounds seems heavy. I would definitely say try the jet one. I have one. You only really get about 14 shots per fuel, but the tank is very small only 40 cc so if you get a tank to refill it you probably get 20 or 25 refills all the way to 250 bar. It’s super light it comes with sides. It is very easy to put a small or medium size coat or a red dock. It also comes with two magazines and a single shot price. I got mine doing a sale for about $100 but look around there’s other options coming up all the time.

Looks like you struck gold. Lucky for you he didn’t know how to take pictures. Enjoy. Crow

going to PAC??

Raton. N50 Nationals 2 weeks from today. I'm trying to shoot 1 or two cards every day leading up to it. In whatever weather we have.

Think of it this way. A very light pellet will exit the barrel more quickly than a heavy pellet which will cushion the piston as it ends it's forward motion.Less shock the piston and spring.

I'm not sure , but would not a heavier pellet have less snap on the spring than a light one.

I hope they have no Tequila in Finland. If they do, I hope they don't find it till Tuesday.

Looks Great!!! . .. Nice job getting the barrel cleaned out .

Tomahawk .25 I refinished

Looked like this when I got it

My very 1st AA: FAC S500…

eBay picture

Maybe a 220cc carbon bottle would look decent? I’m not sure what the smallest diameter they make in those. I know they have some airsoft/paintabll cf tanks that are 2” diameter. No clue what the thread size is though.
Good luck,I bet whatever you get will be awesome. Make sure to post pics when you get it.
