N/A Gamo Compact silencer could it be done
- By marflow 777

- 2 Replies
a month or so ago a member ask could a Gamo Compact have a silencer fitted and my answer was no and then i said, well, let check what i have to do just that
the barrel search started and not much found and then i remembered i had extra Crosman SSP-250 barrels and this journey began
barrel was at about 11.7mm OD length was good out past the cocking handle
the barrel in the Compact is larger in OD so a shim would be needed out front and found some brass tubing that was close much time to make the two slide over each other but i ended up with a net-net fit
then i needed a little more barrel cut out at the clamping band and made my pillow block lathe for that
ordered a 12mm slide on adapter and fine-tuned the mess together
in the picture you will see some of the bit and pieces and the end result is and longer barrel that could be used for that silencer but maybe not
would i do it again maybe, maybe not, you can't fail unless you try and i had an extra cocking handle, so the work was done away from the gun
in the picture you will see i have a little brass showing it happens
and there you have it the cocking handle doesn't open that far but the silencer would hit

Eating what you hunt and lead poisoning

There was a study on lead in children in Mt Isa, Qld, Australia (large mine and lead smelter) that found that blood lead levels were just over 5 ug/L, and that was in a situation where the emission controls were ignored. So this event was unusual in terms of exposure.
Even if you have lead in your pipes, the odds are that any lead you come into contact with won't be in a form that is bioavailable (and it would be extremely unlikely due to changes to laws around the world regarding lead pipes in the last 50 years).
Health NSW says that 5 ug/L (ppb) is reportable, with 10 ug/L being the level that they are concerned that you might start to suffer symptoms.
Again, I seriously doubt that you are at any risk of significant lead exposure.
Solid lead chunks dont really "season" the meat with the special shiny gray salt.
Fumes, fine fine powders or salts of lead. Elemental forms pose more of a risk.
Then again I thought I had dinner with John Wilkes booth last night in the belly of the stay puft marshmallow man. So who knows

Daystate Daystate Pulsar HP .177 Need Help on settings PLEASE
- By ZekeZX10

So I put together the DIY Daystate programmer and wanted to tune it a bit but when I ran the program it seems pretty freaking high already!
At High Setting it is shooting 13.43g JSB Knockouts at 978 fps..... and shoots 16.5g Varmint Knockers @ 894 fps.
At medium setting it is shooting 10.03 JSB MK3's at 1018 fps
I wanted to set the High setting a bit higher to get the 16.5g Varmint Knockers shooting at 980+ fps but with settings already so high is that feasible.

Awesome sir! Thank you. Now I have a concern. I hooked this up to my Daystate Pulsar HP and this screen shot is my current settings. Question is how high on the setting can I go without compromising or damaging anything. What is a safe upper limit.

One challenge that can make for some laughs is to shoot the paint completely off of a silhouette. 40 meter chicken or 60 meter pig s fun, but 100 meter ram is for the OCD class.

Rti mora - under bottle rail is weak

To use a tripod, I added an arc’a rail and used longer screws in place of the original holes. It works great and that's all I came up with until RTI creates a decent rail.

Just to finish this thread, another member now owns the 603. It really should have been a better rifle than the 300 S but in my hands it wasn’t. I guess I now know my jumping off place

PCP Rifle WTS FX Impact Mk2 .22 600mm - $1100 shipped
- By tcgun

Gently used FX Impact Mk2 in .22 with a 600 mm barrel. This is basically bone stock, has never been tuned (or needed tuning) for shooting the 21 grain barracuda pellets I used for hunting rats. The only modification is the addition of an Arca/Picatinny Rail and a palm shelf grip. Everything else is bone stock. Functions perfectly, no issues. Includes one magazine, the empty FX moderator, and an FX hard case.
No cosmetic issues, hardly any signs of use. Deadly accurate, is shooting at about 30 foot pounds. Holds air perfectly, no leaks, squeaks, or other problems I’m aware of.
