I’m with you. I do like the consistency a regulator adds for a bench gun but for hunting rifles it’s preferred not to have a regulator. I’ve got two Evanix rifles, a .257 converted Winchester 70/35 ( made by Evanix) and a K550 ( bottled AR6) both unregulated and tuned at high power. Never miss on the first shot.

Absolutely, that aspect is boss. You can’t overate that at all.

calculate how much your gun uses per shot. how many shots per fill. how many fills per 96-100cu ft tank. there is your answer.

Compressor= Egg laying hen
Tank- Carton of eggs.

no hen, no eggs. buy a carton sure, but when you're out. You're out. you Could buy a CE rated 98Cu Ft for $260-$320 w whip and valve AND a Yong heng or other twin cylinder compressor for the price of one DOT 96-100 CU Ft Tank/valve/fill whip

example.

Katran L 265cc tube. filled to 250bar nets me about 90 shots to 110bar if i shoot 10.3s at 880-890
a 100CuFt tank filled to 310bar/4500psi will give me 15 fills 110b to 250b.
1350 shots.

Yesterday I took out off the shelf my first .30 Cal: Evanix Rainstorm.

Refilled it to 200 bar, loaded the magazine and after four years of resting, I shoot to the coyote silhouette at 55 yards. That Coyote should have a 44.7 JSB pellet in the heart.

Just as simple, accurate as it was.

The confidence of hitting with the first shot after ANY time of inactivity or refilling IS WHAT MATTERS in a hunting PCP, no matter if is the latest technology or an ancient one.

I put a scope on but it only focuses to 20 yards minimum.
So far in only 10 shots if I was blindfolded I’d think I was
shooting a zelos with a heavy trigger

I can see that!

Thanks Mike. I wondered how you could utilize a sling for off hand support without a swivel on the butt. I may have to try that. Might help me manage the weight of the 300 S. A little better

You are thinking more of what is referred to as a carry or hasty sling which use the two point attachment. When properly adjusted they help a lot but are not as good for dedicated target shooting. I learned to shoot with a target sling back in the early 60's on a ROTC rifle team in college.

That sling attachment shown early in the thread is more just a sling attachment than a hand stop, It could be rather uncomfortable to use as aa hand stop unless one has on a shooting glove

Interesting… I’ll get an opinion from UA and see what they say too. If anything ill have to sell my pellet shooter .25 Maverick and replace it with the M4. This way I’ll get a bullpup, 1 reg, and the quick tune system. Lol.

Wait till you see how much easier a mav hammer change is compared to an impact.

Yeah I was surprised as well when I figured that I’m locked at 135ish. Then looked into it and found a bunch of others who also reported to be maxed out with stock hammer anywhere between 130 to 140b… not a big deal and a gram or two more hammer will solve, just something to consider…

My 700 topped out with factory hammer around 135 bar too. I out a tungsten hammer in it and it's a little too much for the 150 I needed to run.

6gun · Apr 23, 2025

Jokingly I want to say neither. You aren't going to get 3000 shots a day from a heavy great white (i own one) or a compressor. As for the compressor you won't have time for 3000 shots a day and filling.. Bring a dual voltage compressor and a buddy bottle? You may be able to work filling a buddy bottle and shooting to have as little down time as possible.

I was at an airgun show/yardsale/competition in Hemit, CA just a few weeks ago and purchased two beautifully crafted brass trigger guards, one for my TX200, and another for my HW97K. Their cost was a mere $20 apiece. I don't know where you are located, but I can't believe that there aren't any reasonable craftsmen in many places here in the States. I've been intending to contact Chambers, in England, in the hopes of finding nicely crafted cocking arms for my TX200 & HW97K. I do like my bling. Orv.

I am in small town east Texas. I honestly do not know of any airgunners in the area. I did know of one via another forum but like myself he was getting older and passed away last year.

Glad that worked out, they at least need to change the directions and recommend something more than a few drops of silicone every 500 shots.. With how how much force it was taking and how badly it would bind, impressive that a little paste got it operating smoothly...

I'm glad, I really didn't want to deal with sending it in... I would have just ended up buying a new pcp that cost way too much that I don't need.

Took a few days for umarex to get bak to me about my guantlet. But they were gd got the fed x labels emailed just make sure u have ur sales invoice

jkingrph · Apr 23, 2025

I have a 300s bought new in the mid 1980's the loading port seal looks good, but I often wonder how long it will last. I recently bought a FWB 150 and that seal looked rather "grungy" so I sent the gun off to David Slade for a rework, hope to have it back by next week.

I ended up tearing the gun down. I have less than 1 tin of pellets fired. Cleaned everything up, lubed it... My pins were all seated, but also easily came out, but with the gun apart the firing pin still seizes and I can see its not the pin... There was some slop in the pivot on the cocking lever that I thought may have been the issue, as without the hammer spring in, the firing pin would bind, and if I applied pressure it would release and slide.

I could reassemble, cock 5 maybe 10 times fine, then it would lock up.. I can't 100% see the issue. My guess is its torquing it self and wearing the metal, creating a burr and jamming it. I could feel burrs on the hammer spring bushing and inside where it seats it looks worn. But it binds without the hammer bushing in, so it may also be where the cocking pin slides is worn and now torquing it self up and binding.. hard to explain but if you took it apart you would understand. I just don't see obvious wear on the firing pin, and its hard to see into the channel the firing pin slides..

Waiting on some moly paste, but it may be too late, the lube they recommend is not enough to prevent premature wear. Will call umerex monday.

Contact hajimoto productions hes all umarex notos ,guantlet he helped me

I'd normally agree with that statement, but per the Umarex notos manual, they suggest the RWS Chamber lube that is 100% silicone for the "surfaces around the bolt" ...

Typically how I do oil the arm just glad umarex taking care of it finally theres also a plastic ring on the stock side of the receiver it breaks and can make a gap a pellet can get stuck in or shave a piece off slightly

I’m not the best guy to be evaluating the EQ and don’t want to be negative unless I’m sure.
Shot some more last night. Used whatever 20 + grain pellets I had . It’s also loud in the action area.
Pinging and hammer slam. Gonna degas and lower regulator and try lighter pellets

Shuggoth · Apr 23, 2025

I remember looking at the 56. Fts in the marksman catalog back in the day and thinking that was a great looking rifle, but I couldn't afford one at the time. I did eventually get a marksman model 70 in .177 which I still have, I need to pull that gun out and shoot it more. It's a big gun, like a long hw85. Mine has the rekord trigger but the rocker safety.

If you have a spot in your house or garage that will allow you to shoot out a window... try making a drop down or fold up shooting table.
This is obviously not a portable design....but when it's 102 degrees outside and 100% humidity i don't want to be out side.

The one shown works excellent... My design allows the single leg to level by screwing it in or out.

Recently i learned that if I am using a shooting bench for Bench Rest it needs more than one spindle leg for stability... perhaps 2 and probably even a strap to the floor = why you might ask? Well when you are really working on trying to figure out just how tight a group you can shoot, even the slightest jiggle or pulse or breath can move you ever so slightly off your hole on hole.. see last pic.
What is not immediately obvious by the last picture, is that the gun drilling the 1/8" squares is a TM1000X which can literally punch hole into hole at the 30 yard benched mark with no wind; unless of course the table can jiggle even a mouse whisker when you breathe or your heart pounds ....then the hole pattern looks like the one is this last pic...
Again, it doesn't matter = unless it matters to you.

How do you like the colored O rings? Any issues? They don't have the best rep in the paintball world.

Haven’t tried yet. I was having trouble sealing a Zelos to a Huben bottle adapter and was recommended on here.

Shuggoth · Apr 23, 2025

I am interested as well. I like the magazine feature as it's great to do 10 shots without a reload but I wondered how much better the gun may be accuracy wise if you direct load the pellet vs the mag

Sfp with a floating dot and not much else.

Ditto. The plainer, the simpler. I’m a dialer so dead center is all I need. Unless it’s really windy I don’t need windage comp in the woods and short distances I’m typically working within. My scope is set to 8x and I leave it there.

“the goal is to not go underwater when buying old used guns”
I was disappointed at first that I had to invest half what I spent for the rifle to get it fixed but I was so impressed with it I had to do it. I’m not sorry I did either!

This is what I use, year round, and I leave it out doors, year round. Its a great table, light, and if you need to move it, fold it up and move it. Right now its on sale for dirt cheap.

I have a cheap 10 dollar folding table from walmart that I put all my gear on, that too stays outdoors.

In the pic the stable table looks small but that howitzer on it was LONG haha

I carry, range finder, 8x monocular, extra ammo, camo face net, very light camo gloves, water, coffee if it’s a morning hunt, knife, phone, chair or seat cushion, thermacell depending on season, compass, flashlight, firestarter if in new area, tick tool, granola bar or similar snack, Primos trigger stick.
