Sounds like something broke... Since it's out of warranty it wouldn't hurt to take the plastic grip off and inspect the gun to see what let go... then proceed with caution... Otherwise there are options but nothing I would post here... For $1000.00 these guns should be made to a higher standard.

Totally tore down my hammer. That is a fricking complicated piece of air cannon. The shroud was loose, so I used 2 part epoxy. Worked like science. Yes, they need to be built to a higher standard. Why would they use a carbon fiber tube for an outer barrel on a hunting rifle?

Not familiar with the Hammer but I would strongly suggest NOT using JB Weld for the shroud problem! I'm sure there are other more correct & appropriate ways to fix that. Reach out here on the forum for help.

Actually after a few hours of research, I discovered that carbon fiber is put into a vacuum while made. They bond it with what is essentially 2 part epoxy. Jb weld plastic epoxy has a 4500 psi tensile strength and is safe for carbon fiber. I have been using that to secure the shroud of my hammer since this post. I shoot it pretty often, and thus far, no issues

Just received this ... TM-1000 FT Pistol.
It is for a customer who wants all the RAW / THEOBEN tuning tricks applied.
This should be interesting & productive

Factory has opted for the barrel to be a total of <15" including an LDC threaded adapter.
Full length Carbon Sleeve. Customer requested full size 480 cc bottle = LOT of shots
TM receivers must be in low supply as it is marked Weapons and not Werks ( RAW )
All the internals are current Airforce/ RAW specification.

My leak turned out to be the fill nipple as I had removed it to check the valve and O ring it was not sealing around the thread, so some more PTFE tape and it's fine again, using a bit of washing up liquid in water and a fine brush is good for locating external leaks.

Glad you got that sorted.I am still cleaning the barrel,the fouling in is absurd!
Also serviced both regs yesterday and waiting to see how that will go.

Thanks for all the assurances and glad to know I'm at least in good company! My wife has had horses for the last 30 years so no matter how bad this addiction becomes, it will never come close to that money pit that is horse ownership. Unless I get that FX M4 and that pretty Huma GK1 and maybe the BRK and, and, .....

Folks have been putting food on the table for many, many years using lead. I would bet that there is way more risk of dying in a car crash.. but that don't stop us from driving them. Gotta get there and ya gotta eat.
I would venture a guess that there are alot worse things that we let into our bodies and just don't think about.

I have the Xisico version of the CS3e and I'm very happy with it after 2+ years since getting slightly used for a couple hundred bucks. I've done general maintenance twice since I got it following instructions from Target Forge. I use food grade green grease.
I only fill guns directly with it and have a Yong Heng to top off my tanks. Both compressors have severed me well.

I probably went overboard buying pellets early in my PCP-era. I wanted to try every varety, and if you look long enough you realize, there's a lot of varieties out there.

Awesome! Thank You for this

So Ive emailed and called RAW, been waiting days for a return email or call. Kinda sucky.

I just need some ideas.
Micro, HM1000 acts like its not regulated in the sense of I can adjust the hammer spring, get two to three shots consistent then it starts to climb in velocity. Ill readjust and repeat this process over and over. Ive put new orings on the reg and cleaned up the bellville washers and same result.
Ideas on what to check?
Ill fill to 200bar and run it down to 150. Ive wasted one crap ton of pellets chasing this thing.

is this a brand new rifle?

New Tuxing 6.8L tank did finally arrive yesterday.
There was also two small spot at aluminum internal liner.
It was only possible to see them with endoscope.

Otherwise i was nice one.
I had to take it and hope it will last long time to use.

Do you get a new sear with the bolt kit?
There are spacers available for the synthetic stock. And they perfectly. Item number 138420-000

No one warned me this was hobby was so addictive and the bunny hole is deep enough to not have a bottom.

Chris,

you're already learning some of the great thruths thay bind us all.

Yes, the airgunning "bunny hole" you call this so endearingly is indeed of surprising depth and width!

Here's a photo to appreciate its dimensions:




Congratulations on your excellent progress on your way down there.

Some people start with climbing down the airgunning hole, others slide into it — you however have achieved an early free-fall.
Just wait till you reach terminal velocity. It's fun!!

didnt ask, wasnt selling it, just was talking about my gun and whats on it.

Thanks for the input Marflow - I have neither the 5-shot clip nor the single-tray. Too bad Magic could not continue to offer the copies along with a liability disclaimer (or similar) to be signed by the buyer to relieve Magic from any and all liability; I know I would readily sign such a form.

So, from what I understand, I am dead in the water ... or at least the B96 is. lol.

Biggest problem with non lrf in my mind would be night hunting. If you are going to night hunt at unknown distances it will be much more difficult. During the day it’s a sweet feature to have but you can always still use a regular range finder and just hold over in the reticle.

+Your first PCP is a great start, easy enough to hand pump, it can shoot pretty accurately,if you buy another PCP without thinking, you would be a da.Use what you have until you settle down...... There are so many choices, plus different calibers...think and plan,study and become informed.In the meantime save your money..................for your informed choices.

What did not being able to use the app limit ?

A very old thread, it was fun to read through it again.

I'm still enjoying the heck out of my Shorty Veteran. It's still a .20, and still in the aluminum chassis stock, but I changed out the grip. Here is what's on it now.



Took a bit of Dremel'ing to get a non flat top AR grip to fit where a flat top is intended, but it worked. I tried once before and ended up ruining that particular grip. Learned some lessons from that and was successful in this attempt.

Decided the gun just needed used after the grip upgrade, so took it with me to kill time during my son's soccer practice. Dropped him off and headed to a dog town....killed 11 with this gun, out to about 70 yards.

Had some exceptional conditions right before dark and decided to shoot some groups on paper at 55 yards. This is from stool and sticks. .20/13.73 @ 805fps.

Five shots...


Yep, impressively accurate little gun. It's had a lot fo shots down the pipe, and will have many more in the future. I REALLY enjoy this one.
