I try hand pumping and I still have a hand pump just in case but really for the price of the inexpensive portable compressors at Amazon buy one with extended exchange guarantee for $30 more and a second one just in case one fails I have the other one while it gets fixed. I also bought a water cool Chinese compressor thinking I be buying a scuba tank but now I realize with two compressors and a hand pump as a back up I’ll probably never use it, but I got a good deal for it so I’ll stay in the garage in a box in the meantime Keep us up on your journal what’s going on and how much you like the new gun thank you for your time and a good laugh

Agreed, I don't care for hand pumping, but I do like to keep a hand pump around just in case, especially since they are less than $50.

katonajohn, figure on 40-50 shots on the Marauder. I don't like long shooting sessions, but I usually do 100-200 shots. You'll probably want to refill at least once. I think it only takes a few minutes to fill a gun to 3000psi with the smaller compressors, so it will just be a little break. Good for a neck stretch

When I go to the range, and shoot a couple guns, or a longer session with one, and end up shooting 200 or more pellets, I always add up what that would have cost me to shoot a powder gun. Unless it is a 5.56, or a 9mm, the saving is very substantial. Even with the cheap PB ammo, it is a lot

An FYI for you guys. Brake cleaner in an aerosol can works quite well on wasps.
One blast and they drop instantly dead. Wait til evening when they're all nestled onto their nest for the night and you can give them their final "Nighty Nite" send off.

Weather is looking great compared to here....High in the 80's and lows in the mid 50's. Possible rain also.....We all know how that goes here in Arizona...It's monsoon season and those storms can show up in just a few minutes......Should be a great time

I'm a new to air guns, and to this forum. What type of air gun will do the least vibration damage to a red-dot sight? I have a Holosun 403B and heard that a spring piston will destroy a red-dot. A gas ram a little less destructive. And a PCP will do the least damage. I'm getting older and need to shoot with two eyes open. Thanks for your feedback.

It's not so much the choice of your airgun (as you should be able to choose the one you want and sight it up accordingly) but the type of Red dot you buy.
After the last 10 years I'm pretty much done with Micro Reflex. They promise so much, being compact, good looking and having no effect on balance, but I've since broken every single one of them regardless of the outlay, cheap, or expensive.
Going inside my last Hawke micro, I think I found the issue.
It appears they glue the little light emmiter directly to the x/y adjustment stalks which in turn are screwed to the outside adjustment screws.
The light emitter either becomes detached altogether, or shifts zero.

This never seems to happen with look through the scope, tubular models which are built similar to rifle or pistol scopes. Some now reaching a lifetime of service as these were the original type from the 80s.
The Hawke 1x30 has proved indestructible.

I have a barrel of particular interest that was machined for a clamp-style receiver at 16mm. It was not machined well and this surface is wavy and inconsistent by a couple thou.

I’d like to put this barrel in my RAW which needs to be .625 (+0/-.0005) diameter. So I assume the only good solution that keeps the length is to OD grind down to .625 and hope for 90-95% cleanup. (To be clear I only want the receiver end ground - not the whole length)

Suggestions who can do this? The local machine shops might but they aren’t barrel people. Bonus if they can machine the port and chamber too.

A manual machine job shop can easily do this. You have all the right call outs with dim and tolerance.

@Mark B - Please interpret: HPA-SSP-MPP

HPA = High Pressure Air = PCPs.

SSP = Single Stroke Pneumatic = Pistols and rifles that are one cock, one shot with an air resovoir.

The P17 is an excellent example, everyone should have one. Very affordable SSP pistol with an amazingly good trigger. Direct copy of the much more expensive HW40A.

MPP = Multi-pump pneumatics = Sheridan Streaks / Crosman 760

I had the Lazer and lens put in eyes last year. Don’t wear glasses any more.
The sights are what came on and not sure if correct.
The 601 was shooting so low.
I haven’t bought a gas can in 20+ years. Bought one last month and the 601 shot so low I hit my new gas can. View attachment 583742PMO. My mistake. Shot 10 inches low. Not the greatest target holder. 10 meters.
These guns are the best. Crow

You probably know this , but a little 2 part epoxy fix that gas can hole.

I know the problem, your hammer adjuster is loose. There is a small grub screw on top just before your stock attachment, the center one. It controls the spring and bb that notches into your hammer adjuster. When you shoot, it starts backing out and loses tension on the hammer adjuster allowing it to spin with every successive shot. You need to snug it up, not too much as you don’t want to crush the spring, get your hammer adjusted where you want it, then back out the grub screw and add either vibra tite or blue loctite just a tiny bit and screw back in snug. That should keep things in place.

Funny you should ask. YESTERDAY I was hunting with my Edgun R3 long,.22 slugger. I realized I had a tin of those that Centercut gave me a few weeks back so I tried them out (25.39gr?) Holy crap! They were shooting as straight & accurate as the preferred slugs that the Edgun LOVES (.217 Daystate Howlers or NSA .217)! Also tried Hades & Redesigned Monsters, they were OK but couldn't come close to the Center Punch!!! I was amazed at the accuracy & consistency. They shot as accurately as slugs and out to 125 yards! I'll try longer range next time.

Yes. My China clone is electric but looking at ops Pic it's a 1:1 I had to re tune the safety blow off valve and the auto stop to change mine from 3000 to 4500 fills. A matter of an Allen wrench for the auto stop and 2 wrenches for the blow off safety

Thanks. The 601 front sight was missing. Oddly there was a front sight on my kitchen floor. No idea where it came from and used it. I have several Weihrauch front sight sets. Will they work?
Not at all familiar with these guns. Crow

Click to expand...

Weihrauch inserts will not work in that sight. That sight requires the use of inserts that fit an 18mm FWB front sight. The HW inserts are 14.6mm.
Looking closely at the picture you posted, it appears that the ears of the insert are not fully seated in the front globe causing the insert to be positioned high of center in the front sight possibly?

Typical, so why don't they update their website?
Been though my HP reg again, and it's fine cannot find any reason for the slight drop in power, but as per usual as soon as I start working on it, first the bleed valve starts to leak and the bottle valve O ring goes, I then took the spool valve apart and enlarged the closing jet, but once all back together the only difference I can see is now the LP reg pressure has risen from 150psi to 165psi and I detect no change in the firing note that Motorhead described, and no change in constancy these guns just seem very unpredictable it can be good and consistent one minute and jumping about the next O well back to the drawing board, perhaps my quest for single figure FPS is just a dream with this gun.

I mean, you put that on a Micro then play with balance and find the sweet spot, that may work, no?

Adjusting regulator to increase counterclockwise or clockwise?

Don't some red dots attach directly to the slide of a say glocks? I'm sure they'd handle an airgun.

I was giving the PCP guys a run for their money with my HW97k .20 this weekend at 55 yards. They had the advantage at 80 but I was still hitting cans and the big spinners. Not too bad for a lowly springer.

Will it fill SCBA tanks (4500 lbs)? Scuba tanks (hp) are around 3200ish lbs. For airgunning 4500 lbs is needed generally speaking.
