What caliber? .30 might be different than the .25 down. Can't remember off the top of my head but I have them all so I can measure for you.

As far as I know a purge does not hurt. Mater of fact, some compressors auto purge.

Good point didn’t think of that. I was thinking it probably would be ok. I ran mine for the first time today for about an hour and ten minutes. Never thought of purging and at the end there was a decent moisture buildup.

The reason I ask is that I have tried FX hybirds, Zan, Patriot, and NSA slugs, all right around 50 grain, (out of an FX Dynamic 30 cal) and none of them shoots well. I finally broke down and bought a chronograph, and much to my surprise, I found it was only shooting at 750 fps, which is slow even for pellets. I cranked up my regulator from 120 bar to 150 bar and maxed out the hammer spring and I am only seeing about 890 fps, while the point of impact is all over the place (like 6"+ groups at 50 yards)

I am guessing the slugs need more speed in order to shoot accurately, but at 150 bar on the regulator I am only getting two magazines per fill, so if I give it more regulator, I am going to have to fill it for every magazine, which will be a huge pain ... but oh well, if that's what it takes to shoot accurately.

I have been reading the three volumes of Bryan Litz’s Applied Ballistics and feel like I just discovered a treasure trove of information. I am interested particularly in the effect of “out of roundness” on dispersion at longer shooting distances. Does anyone publish the “tir” (Total Indicated Out-of-Roundness) of their pellets or slugs? This might be an issue with higher twist rates that otherwise might have some advantages…

My PB dealer told me that if I buy a brand new firearm from him, pay for it, but never take it out of the store, he considers it used and would give me 50 percent of what I just paid. Then sell it for 75 percent of new price. I think there's more profit in used guns for them.

Buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle for $25K and add $10k in chrome parts. You know what those chrome parts are worth? Diddly squat.

I found way back in my dad’s closet Crossman 2300 T I guess some of the seals inside or shop because it doesn’t hold air for very long. Maybe get two shots. Anybody have a line on new seals where I can purchase
I’m new to this form and I couldn’t find much on the Internet
Thanks for everybody’s help

Crosman pistols are pretty easy to work on. I was able to fix my 1701. Order the parts and have at it. There are probably thousands of videos on youtube.

I was curious as to what folks feel a "good discount" from the new list should be on a gun. I buy and sell (buy about 50% more than sell) a LOT, and I am, well, let's say VERY impulsive when something new and shiny launches, I am usually one of the first in line with the AMEX out and a smile on my face. I also tend to over buy certain brands/models (RAW, older FX, Kalibergun, and others), so I end up with multiples of the same gun, and when I see the boxes piling up, I tend to realize I do not need 3 HM100x.22, so I re-list one or two.

I feel like I am almost a bit too low on used guns, as once I purchase something, I just count that money as gone, when I sell, well, that is just a bit extra to recycle into something else and tend to get multiple responses in the first few minutes and a sale happens quckily.

New is where I struggle. I have a new Evol (newest with SUB MOA barrel, etc.) posted at roughly 20% of a discount from new. I by no means am married to that price, but would rather price it to sell in the first few days than have it linger. I get that not everyone is a buyer for every gun posted, but feel with what I buy new (high-end from reputable sellers, AoA, Utah, etc) that most members would see them as a good value. Some sell in 5 minutes, some sit for months, or never sell, so is that more just that folks want certain brands or models, or should things be priced at more of a discount off the bat to get more traction?

I am into the Evol I have listed for roughly 2800.00. Have it listed for 2300, would I sell for 1000.00, no, would I sell for 1950.00, most likely. I also know guys like to negotiate and have had more than one member get mad when I do not, so now I have built in a bit of a buffer to allow for some back and forth.

Long post for a simple question, I guess. What is the discount form list you feel is fair as a starting point when selling a new gun in the classifieds? Do you negotiate or just list it for what is a fair price?

I hear you… personally, I sell at where I am comfortable buying. Depends on the rifle but I get the “used is used” so a “new” gun, meaning maybe a couple of months old and a few shots through it 25ish% discount over current new price (not MSRP…). If it is an exceptional gun, like you won the barrel lottery or something like that maybe 15-20%. An older model and used a bunch I’m in the 40-50% discount over current new camp. All shipped and not taking into account tax etc (lol…). Also get the buffer idea so that people can haggle but honestly I’d rather have a reasonable price tag from the get-go and shake hands…

I have an LP2 also. Shoots every bit as good as the LP10 I had. Wonderful pistols.

miksatx · Apr 21, 2025

I see a lot of guns I'd like to have bought but most the time when I click on who and where they might be from. Plain old USA don't cut it.

My first was the FD-PCP. The $100 tinkerer's dream from FDAR. I still have one. The next was a Disco then came the swan dive into the rabbit hole.

Trucker3573 · Apr 21, 2025

When running for an extended time is it ok to do a quick moisture purge by opening the bleed valve and then closing or is that equivalent to running under a quick heavy load of back pressure?

So tell me all about it. I ordered one on the 11th and I get to receive it. Hopefully, I will get to magazine

Only a few shots but at 2000psi on the reg, factory set hammerspring and max TP adjustment it shoots 26gr JSB knockout at just over 1000fps

Gunnertrones · Apr 21, 2025

Very small and light, but laser accurate!
43 meter and no misses. A couple of Cabin neighbors came by, and they were impressed. (I was shooting from a rest, so actually not that impressing.....)

Hi guys,
after about two months of studying everything related to PCP airguns I chose and bought the FX Impact M4 - .22 I'm still fine-tuning the settings. I can say that I'm satisfied with the M4 Impact. Very accurate gun. ***winter***View attachment 556936 View attachment 556937 View attachment 556939 View attachment 556941 View attachment 556942

I jealously snicker at you and applaud you. !

Good ol Benji Discovery . Almost returned it in the first 2 weeks after trying a few of the cheaper economy pellets , then tried some JSB 15.89s and we became very good friends . The starlings still hate it lol.

I have this my long range Falcon X50T target scope, dual purposing between my 100 BR Impact and my f-class 308.
I am leaning towards dressing it up with electronic level indicator, just because of that feature peripheral vision.
I was just wondering about $ price difference between the Send-it and Pulse.
For now just researching reviews.

I almost bought a pulse just recently... Read all the reviews, especially about the app and interface. The reviews aren't good. With that said, I have never used one, I based my decision solely on the reviews. I do know a couple people that have them and do like them for some functions. I guess it depends if you'll be using it for just a level or if you're using all the functions.

Hi all,
Can I convert my gamo magnum swarm multishot into a single shot by just removing the multishot mechanism? I've looked for the answer but can't seem to find the info.
This is a gen 2 rifle. I bought it years ago and finally decided to shoot it. Didn't like me not in charge placing the pellet in there.

Justaguy · Apr 21, 2025

Mint condition=20%off.
Used=30% or more off.
That is my way of thinking anyway.
Shipping=negotiable

I got some time on range building. A tree that fell I have it balanced at the top. It was a main support before. Cut the face flat so I could screw brackets to it.

Weathers been trying to rain and that it did.
The tree that fell, I cut off the hydro wires disrupted the hill and sent rock and dirt down the bank. Bit of a mess . Crow
