Did a little grooming at my private range this afternoon and now we are ready for some hours of shooting and talking tomorrow

Thank you Wes. As always, you are very upfront and straightforward. Somethings you can control, and somethings you can't. So be it.

An adapter for the shroud and those baffles will surely help as I'll bet this high power gun can get loud.

Great news about the Zelos and M60 mags! We now have additional options. Of course, I have a Zelos .25 and Max 1 .22, but that's my problem .

It makes me wonder about universal fit holsters. They have a lot of them for cowboy style revolvers and they fit a wide variety of guns reasonably well when you consider that they're leather and they typically cost about $30. Some are under $10 and for $60 you can get one that's molded to your specific revolver with all kinds of fancy leatherwork. Serious cowboy action shooters might laugh at them, but IMO most are just as good or better than that one you've got there. Sorry, but the front end of that thing is awful. It's not going to do a good job of retaining or protecting the pistol and it is going to catch on everything nearby.

The problem is that they don't fit many airguns. It seems to me that there could easily be a similar universal air pistol holster made of heavy leather and wide enough to fit a GK1. All I can find when I look though are Uncle Mike's type crap.

Why? the search the quest,the pursuit. For some it is continuous,even when they have found the right path or setup,or pellet ,slug there still is the addiction of perfection,in fact for some that is what is important.
The goal,to achive the best your air gun is capable of.There are so many variables.
I can name a PCP that many like because of the adjustabiliy of it.Are these the ones that like this
"quest"?
Then there are people like me,"I ain't got time for that".My ADD mind has enough trouble finishing things.
Why now do I think of the simple great springers I have,um,I did put tune kits in them.
The "Quest"......better scope,better stance or bench or....
The quest in my mind is to get the smallest groups possible.Simple statement,that may require so much time that I find myself thinking about buying another air rifle before reaching my quest on the latest one I have.
The "quest" is part of our makeup,just some have it a lot more than other and some have completed their quest on what they have,but how many have said " one and done" very few I believe.

I believe the reason is because of having too many choices. If there weren't endless pcps with "game changing" features there wouldn't be near as many of us moving on to the next. I also believe that theres simply a louder voice speaking out on trying things. This groups is 300,000+ members strong, the loudest members will almost stand out against the quieter bunch that are happy with what they have.

Yes it has a very thin cap and a female thread on the end of the shroud so an adapter can be made. I'll check the size and see about getting adapters made right away.
The other sad thing is that there will only be one magazine in each box.
Snowpeak made a strange error in the rush to get the guns out and sent the max 1 with no magazine at all in the boxes.
When I found that out after they shipped I of course asked them to send me them separately asap and to send two for each rifle. They did send them but only sent one each which I sadly discovered after the rifles arrived. I apologize for that. I wanted to give a second one as a thank you to all that preordered and waited.
The good news is that zelos and m60 mags will fit in the max and work just fine. I did not have enough mags to add one of those or I would have. The max mags are a bit deeper to allow heavier slugs and won't fit the zelos or m60. . I've asked them to send the other mag for each rifle now so we'll see when they arrive.

Thanks,
Wes

Does anyone have photos of the compressor with the covers off?

Housings often appear to be similar or identical to me, but when the internals are revealed, they are completely different.


For example, The New Warrior or Benjamin appeared to closely resemble the GX CS4, but are completely different compressors.

Here's an example: Is this compressor the same as a Tuxing?

Those Anschutz adapters are still around. I snagged this older one off an auction site, and I think a newer version is still made.

The one issue I had was the Redfield didn't adjust quite low enough, so had to raise the front sight. Ended up with an Anschutz front tunnel...on a Walther riser...on my Weihrauch barrel...! Kinda amazed that worked, but gives a wonderfully confortable heads-up sighting position.

By the test of yesterday I managed to push 62gr in 224 at 975 with a fill pressure of 3100 psi with a barrel length of 27 1/2 .. 70gram hammer factory spring preload in #2 .. so by that test a talon p valve with the talon tunes one pice top hat.. + 90gram hammer n the tt spring .. should be enough for 72 gr cast or sway bullet.. since anyway that is the max weight completely stabilize in the 1-14 .. it could stabilize 85gr but only sway bullets... not cast bullets.. No need to brain storm about a Doug valve, in case you don't managed to get one.. above 72gr bullets you will need one of his valves.

Side note in .224 at 33 3/4 in a barrel is simply to long for .22 bullets start to slow down will start cuting down to see what is the sweet spot I imagine 30" is the max length it should be will see. I was getting more speed with the 27.5 " at 3,100 psi than with the 33.75 at 3,400 psi that has 116gram hammer and a heavy spring.

That is Great shooting,both you and the Mora;you stopped at 4 why didn't you pull the trigger for the fifth shot?....I been a pistol shooting and most revolvers hold 6 shots,but we load 5,that is how I got in the habit of 5 shots.
Never-the -less you are a great shooter and proved the Mora is a capable.

Seneca Aspen/Nova Freedom. Maybe it pumps up or maybe it needs to be disassembled and fixed, flip a coin.
I probably shouldn't say that in case I ever decide to sell it here...

The pump on mine hasn't failed yet, but it won't hold zero for some reason and that reason isn't the scope. That combined with the cheap ass build quality of it and the fact that it clips baffles with any moderator makes it one of my least favorite airguns.

I sure do!

I designed and 3D printed the front blade, which is attached to the front of the shroud via the thread protecting nut on a moderator adapter (a moderator will also hold it in place if you need one). The rear sight is a Williams FP-AG-TK base with a Gehmann adjustable iris. I have about $180 in the rear sight and just a bunch of my time and a little material for the front sight. I'm working on a proper globe sight up front, but the current arrangement is working perfectly once I got the height right for 10M shooting. Zeroed at 20 yards now, I'm pretty much good to shoot from 10 out to 50 yards without clicking the knobs on the rear sight.

Beauty! That and a globe up front would be ideal for me. I have a nice match-rifle rear and a bunch of globe fronts, just no mounts.

All I need...more projects!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure how or what I want to do after disassembling it, I just like to know how to do it.

I completely agree. I really hate "reviews" like this. I cannot rely on any review anymore to be honest. This being just a beefed up AEA is garbage as well. Good for the guys that win with a Red Panda but stuff like this makes me stay away from Wolfiek Group altogether.

Not to mention the amount of SLS that have been on classifieds for months.

I'm shooting JSBs. I don't have a target to show as it's been months and months since I last shot it. I'm also shooting with open sights.

I understand, Thanks.

Had mine out yesterday popping some starlings at the farm! Great morning with a timeless classic!

My BR50 cards, 50 or 55 M, do NOT look like that, actually every time i shoot one i am embarrassed and hurry up to just murder every target with several shots.
It is probably also why i do not mind using the back side of BR50 papers for backing to my 2" splatter targets put up much further away.

I hit the coloured rings a lot more than i hit the X, some times even outside, and last i tried one a few weeks ago, well a shot after 1 target placed sort of OK in the target to the Right of it.

I dont really get it, cuz shooting at other stuff at similar distances i am often stacking shots within 10 mm of what i aim at.
I have murdered many 100 flies at 55 M, not by hitting them directly but the lead splatter of the shot hitting right next to them, i will have to admit that on the steel end of the container at 55 M it is far from every shot at flise that hit it directly and flatten it.

On the other hand at 118 M with paper there i have often drilled holes right next to flies, and the damn thing dont even look, only to have the next shot fall a little further away but scare the fly enough to take flight.
Shooting flies with direct hits on none hard surfaces should only count, but i just can not help myself shooting at one if they land on steel.

Even more funny my friend, we say he have a paper allergy CUZ with him it is even worse when his aim point is on a paper.
