After thinking on this for a bit...

It seems that many people want to treat tools as commodities. A commodity is something that makes a company (or person) money (because if it doesn't, then they won't make money). A tool is something that is used to accomplish a task.

My farm-think is that this tool will perform this task, so it's worth a certain amount at time of purchase. As long as the tool continues to work, it's value is assured.

"What it does is what it is." come to mind.

Cheers,

J~

Please disregard, mistake

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

This listing has been renewed

"So now I have a tank that’s filled to probably around 4400psi" I'm ASSUMING you mean BOTTLE (or air tube). A TANK is a SCUBA or SCBA. BOTTLE is what's on your gun. Nomenclature can have an effect on the answers one gets

Seneca has some .22 @ 28.5g and 32.4g bet they fit tight lol. I'm shooting .177 / 16.1g Seneca in my GK1.177 and they are tight in .177!

You also could have hooked the gun back up and bled the over pressure out through the tank pressure release valve.

Not likely since there's usually a check valve involved in a gun's air reservoir.

That is your fill port. Remove the v-block and put it back in, then slightly push in the bottom of the spring and install the v-block back on the rifle. Make sure you don't pinch the spring or catch it on the last coil.


*EDIT*

Yeah what Michael said ........ missed his post.

Interesting this "white metal" you describe. I'm assuming we are not referencing Zamak, which is what a lot of people call "pot metal" Probably the best (worst?) example in firearms being High Point.
We often do not consider the quality of the materials themselves today. There are those of us that recall the Chinese steel of a couple decades ago.
Materials matter!

No stranger than a new car losing 15% of its worth the second it's driven off the lot. I guess it's what the market will bear. If ANYONE is willing to pay the price others will try selling for the same or more. BTW, I'll still sell my FX Boss for $4,000!

Hi Charles,
How are you liking your DRS Tactical? When it was announced I was very tempted. I’d had the $$ saved up for my Walther LG400 for a long time but it was out of stock every place in the world it seemed. Then the DRS Tactical caught my eye. Fortunately I resisted and just a couple weeks later I got the email that the Walther was back at Krales.

I have been really impressed with it, both in accuracy and efficiency, it's light weight but solidly built, stock DRS magazines are horrid, I bought 3 Orion magazines much easier to load.
This is my 6th FX rifle, and it has been the most impressive out of the box as far as performance. But FX quality control is still having issues I think, out of the box mine was missing the front trigger guard bolt. I have tried 5 different 18 grain pellets and am getting sub half inch groups at 50 yds with all of them in perfect conditions or inside. The H &N 18's aren't as consistent though as the other brands in my DRS. All are shooting between 880 and 905 depending on temperature.

You need to increase your regulator pressure for heavier slugs or pellets. These guns come factory set around 135-140 bar

Me tuning a gun vs Motorhead tuning a gun ..... who is going to get more money for their "tuned" gun? Yeah some random guy claiming to tune guns, with no back story, isn't going to add any value to the rifle. There are a few people in the classified that if you look at the original posting date...... are OVER A YEAR OLD!! They still have the *lower price* but the rifles are the same prices that they have been for well over a year. I just laugh at people like that.

People need to look at it this way........ like a brand new car. If you buy a new car off the lot with under 10 miles on it. As soon as you take the keys and drive it off the lot it is USED! Doesn't matter if you put on 20 miles or 200 miles......used is used. And don't think that just because they don't make the rifle anymore that it is a classic or "rare" gun. There is a reason why they are not made and are more of a novelty at this point in time. You will probably be able to find someone to buy it, but it could take some time as well. As a seller you need to figure the purchase price, or the current new price of the rifle. Then take around 30% off the price. Doesn't matter how many upgrades and extras you have will add next to nothing to the rifle. Most people want an unmolested rifle so they can modify their own rifles how they want.

The other thing that irritates me is when people plaster the classifieds with multiple threads. Put them all in one thread so you are not screwing other people.

Ah...
I'm used to seeing that as ft-lb, or better yet Joules.

With my 34gr slugs, I don't think I could hit 110 without exploding the rifle.

Lol yeah, same with 40s. It's aimed at people who want to try and show up with big bore type rifles.

Start the compressor with the bleed screw open. Let it run under no-load for five seconds or so before closing the bleed screw.

JackHughs

Nope! The only thing I might add is that even though your compressor is rated to 4500psi I'd not push it past 4200-4300psi. It's the last few hundred lbs that puts the most strain on the compressor.

I saw a video and it shows the burst disc on top next to the tank cap on the cs4 with separate inverter?

I have had a CS4 for about a year and it has worked great, about 12 hrs on it. A month or so back I was filling a few guns and after the first one ( that filled fine ) I started another and everything looked and sounded fine but there was no pressure building? After turning it off and on several times it started building pressure fine? So now this has happened about 4 times. Sometimes just trying to fill a gun and sometimes trying to fill a second? Anyone experienced anything like this?

Thanks,
Chuck

A friend recently purchased a CS4-i and had similar problems right out of the box. GX advised him to test the compressor at 12 volts. He did, and it worked perfectly. The culprit was an out-of-spec power supply. It could be that, after a year, your power supply is failing. Try it at 12 volts.

Manufactured by AEA Precision Airguns in China and Karma Airguns employs a proprietary in-house barrel rifling process. We need to bring production back to America.

I agree that production here would be great. Who knows how this process works out. I'm old and young enough to remember NAFTA. ABSOLUTELY NOT getting political but the small rural Kentucky town I grew up in lost 50% of the jobs available when the blue jean sewing factories all moved to Mexico. That was literally half of the jobs there. Small county only about 10,000 people total. Remove those to young or old to work and 7 factories making clothes. It devastated that small economy. Did it strengthen the overall economy ... still don't know but it's hard to build things here at the prices people are willing to pay.

I watch people building wooden boats on U tube. Those people are carpenters
If I start to cut a piece of wood or sand stuff. The clouds form and I bring shame to my family.

Just received my cs4. Something to note that I learned right off the bat. First use was going to be a top off of a 6.8L. I let it run til the gauge on the cs4 was about 3500 psi as there was 3k in the scba. Then I opened the valve on the tank. The cs4 immediately stopped. The next try even though the cs4 line pressure was above the tank pressure I opened the tank valve very slowly easing a little at a time. No problem at all when I did it that way. Been going like 45 minutes and I’m just a touch over 4k. Open your tanks slowly as to not overwhelm the machine.

Thanks for that probably the same issue.hoping umarex covers this under warranty

Fingers crossed for you. Grrr, I shot my new Chronograph last night, destroying it. I contacted the vendor and they gave me a 1/3 credit on it...as usual no parts available. I will jerry rig the LED light bars off the new one I shot to my old Shooting Chrony. Heck the old Chrony will take hits....other than the display.

Update on the BRK moderator... I was shooting in my pretty small backyard, about 15 feet away from some open windows in my house. My wife and kids inside both said they couldn't hear anything.

Success!

Go to YouTube & search Edgun R3. There are MANY instructional videos that give step-by-step directions how to do things! Can't get much easier than that.
