Lots of screws and acreage bolts. Nothing is permanent.

I would be hesitant to use pressure treated wood. The chemicals used in the wood treatment may have an adverse effect on the steel parts. Maybe untreated wood and then linseed oil for protection.

I don't think that would be an issue. I had a deck built of treated lumber, nailed together and it lasted over 30 years, and yes the nails were slowly corroding away, I would think that using large screws, lag screws carriage bolts it would outlast most of us, especially if the wood were periodically sealed against water.

wondering if the cs4i will fill a 9l tank or should i look in to a bigger one?,

Been using pellet pouches for 4 decades, everything from original leather beeman, to modern crosman fabric.

These here in the link below, are the best I've found with all the perfect features imo.
Nice leather, perfect small size, magnetic closure, and.... Secure and quick metal belt clip. (I don't like belt loops).
I have five of these. I put a small, stick on lable on the back of each, identifying what pellet is within.

Have fun

For some reason Daystate doesn‘t make a single shot tray or loader for this rifle in .30 caliber. I contacted Rowan engineering who replied that they do not make one either.
I’ve considered CARM but I’m concerned as that company hasn’t posted anything on their facebook page literally for years.
Has anyone actually ordered and received product from CARM recently?

Made a brake for the HW30 I’m putting together. Turned it on the lathe and set it up on the mill with a spin indexer to drill 20 holes in it. Looks cool. I guess. Gave it a simulated target crown.
I think I need a black pistol grip cap? I decided on a recoil pad. Brown and black 1/2” thick. No white spacers on this.View attachment 557138 View attachment 557137

Beautiful chunk of walnut you have there. Can we have a dedicated page to the guys that tinker and have tools? This is my jam right here. Too bad we can't discuss moderators tho, that's most of my lathe work lately.

I have had an Impact M3 for about 2 years or so. I haven't had a chance to shoot it much recently. It had been leaking around the larger o-ring behind the first regulator, so I had stored it with the bottle off. I am not sure how much air was in the bottle when I stored it, but when I got it out the other day and put the bottle back on it had around 25 bar in it. Much less than I think I would have stored it at. I then filled it up to 250 bar and took it outside to shoot some targets. I fired the first pellet and it barely left the barrel. I then checked all of the gauges and realized that all of them were reading the same pressure - 250 bar. I removed the bottle and fired enough shots to get the air out of it. After I got it down to 50 bar or so on the 2nd regulator gauge it leaked the rest of the air out where the bottle connects. There was some moisture in it.

My question... What do I need to do to fix this? Just replace o-rings? Which ones? Are there other parts needing replacement?

Thanks for your help.

Store your pcp guns with a charge in them. Maybe not fully charged but it needs to keep the orings pushed into place or you get what you will now be dealing with.

I too have an m3, my regs failed in a different way and I just put huma regs on it and washed my hands of the amp issues. If the rest of the gun wasn't leaking on you at 250 bar, it could be soon enough.

If it were me I'd rebuild the regulators and see if it leaks, and if it does from anywhere else I'd just rebuild the gun completely to avoid multiple teardown and degassings.

If it makes you feel better my impact has been gassed up since the release of the m3 and it's had no leaks... Just failed regs from adjusting down in pressure while gassed up. Even 5 bar did it.

@Gear_Junkie - I bought my barrels from Balistas. They seem to have the largest inventory of Epic "stuff".

Gun Accessories

Buying some additional equipment might be a good idea if you want to keep your weapon in excellent condition. A bag or a case will keep it safe and also make it a little easier to carry around. Cleaning kits and oils will ensure that everything works as it should.

www.balistas.com

That's because they are owned by the same company, Bullet Project S.R.O. and it seems the Epic factory is right behind the Balistas store.

As well as Taipan and the former company Airgun Royal Thunder. And owning all three, I can tell you there certainly are many similarities.

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.

Here in California we lost about 70K companies left California in the last 17 yrs. That what made America great truth wealth is production. Our anti-America government have destroy these country economy. Like the dairy farmers are hit with 300-400% tariff taxes. We should have zero tariff taxes commerce trade relationship with other countries and you can't allow your government in your country destroy your economy. TRUTH wealth is production not big government.

AliExpress has this 6.8L tank for about $225 with three different valves. New to PCP and related equipment. What valve do I want? I have a GX CS4-i compressor to fill the tank so DOT is not a concern. Just not sure what valve to order.

View attachment 557016

I know my initial response was kind of unhelpful, that's what I get for posting when coworkers are asking me questions.

I'd go with the left side or center option. I have the one on the right as a standalone fill station and it's a mediocre setup. The one on the left is exactly the paintball fill stations you can buy in Amazon for 50 bucks and I have 3 of those (they're good enough and use more standard replacement parts) and the center one on closer inspection is where I would go if it were me. You will be replacing it one day, but that's not a huge ordeal. Guages get a memory and seals/burst discs go on the import stuff rather quickly.

dmenzeer, Contact John @ New England air guns, we made some moderators for him that will take the GK1 to mouse fart even at full power.
Ask him for the Veradium Air moderator. You can add or remove the baffle cans as you wish. I use on my gk1.

I just take a slug and squeeze it in a vice to bigger than the bore.. The tap it into the bore with a rod... Run it in the 250z case, all the way thru the barrel and measure..

How do you slug a barrel?

Take a measurement of both ends of the barrel, breech and muzzle end with a caliper, buy a slug that is as close to that measurement as possible, push it down through the barrel , breech to muzzle, measure that once its come out.

You will still probably have to try different slugs but youre going to get as close to the correct diameter projectile that you need before trying different rounds.

Please pardon my ignorance; I’ve never attended a Field Target match. Are some matches limited by time and other matches not limited by time? Thanks,
Kenny

beerthief · Apr 22, 2025

In an FT match would you start the timer when you sit down on the bum bag /take the shot and off the timer till the next shot OR does the timer just run start to finish counting all the walking packing and unpacking ?

PCPFanNL · Apr 22, 2025

I would love to try a smaller unit if it gives the same result als the mod50

(Or even a decent enough result

)

MACTEN · Apr 22, 2025

Did you start with the valve all the way open? Curious what the start fps was prior to tweaking. Those Jts are screaming! Very nice shooting Joe.

Oh, and what's the reg set to? I've been fine tuning mine (600 .25) for 38 grain .250 Zan's but a buddy is doing well with those same JTS pellets you are shooting and 36 grain H&N .25's

You would help your family, right? Helping your fellow citizens is just a few tiers up the line.
How much? I don’t know it would have to be right in front of me and some certification that it’s actually produced here.

I'm already toeing a political line... My comment was meant to point out that the original statement ignores and dramatically over simplifies so many things as to be nothing more than inflammatory. It leans on the same emotional pressure point as your statement.

So whenever I pick the cal for a new rifle, I don’t even consider .177. I mean, there is whole countries out there being sad about the fact that that’s what they’re stuck with… I’ve got plenty of space to plink so why cripple myself (or so I thought… ).

Yet, I find myself thinking about a .177 more and more due to “some” people’s influence (not looking at anyone in particular @JaceSpace1369 @RabbitofCaerbannog)… I am almost caving in so maybe talk me out of it? If you want to talk me (even deeper) into it that’s fine as well, ideally with a recommendation for a rifle in this case Since it’ll be an experiment of sorts for me I’d probably want to get a used medium tier one first to see how I like it, should shoot slugs though since I’d like to use it for small critters (besides plinking)… Thanks in advance!

This whole timer thing is gonna mess with the tea and cookies I enjoy between shots.

Lol, that's how some shooters play it.

We all start the match at the same time, and it's taking some squads 45 minutes longer than other squads, yet supposedly there's a time limit for each shooter.....the math ain't mathing.
