It's not inexpensive but very good wax, Renaissance Wax.

This is the best I have found and it stays good for a long long time

I probably should shouldn't say this but, I got really lucky I've got enough fun tokens to pretty much do what I want, within reason. I've got my PCP's that pretty much do what I want, IF I do what I'm suppose to. My Sapsan works well, my Maverick Compact .22 project gun is a touch temperamental but it works well enough out to 100 yards or so. My Maverick VP 600mm .25barrel is interchangeable withe 30.2 gr slugs or 33.9 gr pellets (AEA's) point and click 125 yards. My GSAR Raptor is a monster, it's long and big, and now consistent as all get out with 30.2 gr AEA slugs. If I wanted to push the gun it'd do 49.2's but I honestly don't want to push it that hard and it sucks air like there is no tomorrow. They actually work pretty well at lower speeds but then, why bother. I have a Tequila pistol that works very well and is very accurate for what I do with it at 25 yards or so. I have an old Daisy 717 that still works well. The Mrs.'s doesn't give me any grief when I buy some stuff so meh I'm good.

Let me see what GMI can do about the demand in Casting equipment.

Which Chinese chrony?

I have one of these and don't bother with my other chronographs. PVC tubing over the U bolt and some rubber inner tube glued to the V block to avoid gun finish damage.

I would start with a fresh and likely stronger spring within the latch assembly.
Then again a strong spring will also create greater wear as latch post rubs on breech face even harder ...

This is REALLY good advice - I have a 70's vintage HW35 like yours that had the exact same problem - I could break the barrel like it was a HW30!. But I sent it to Motorhead who installed a fresh spring and, presto - it's tip top and is one of my sweetest shooting springers! My breech face and the latch both showed some signs of wear, but the old, weak spring was most of the problem. Certainly worth trying!!

Got the carbine .51 kitted the way I want and I installed the high power bias port. Cant wait to test. Got the discovery optics 2-12 ffp lvpo Air Shootist had reviewed, he has a 10% code and link on his youtube video. 16 moa hold under should get me to 190yards with a 390g without any turret adjustments. Got to retest test with the high power and all ranges of slug weights again. Going for a reasonably flat shooter.

The GX 4 is hardly larger than a lunch box. I have one and love it.

We are just friends, exchanging opinions, correct?

I am very curious as to your preference for the CS4 over the smaller and lighter CS3. I'm assuming that you don't fill tanks or the reason for preferring the CS4 is obvious. I had a New Warrior (left one in the photo) which is about the same size & wieght as the CS4. Very much different case for transporting and moving. Also, protecting it in transport is much more complicated for the CS4.

My CS3 runs for hours at the weekly range day, since I'm shooting full power .22 PCPs, so the bit shorter CS4 run time might be another possible advantage.

I'm data-gathering, and this seems a good opportunity to hear informed comparisons.

Do you get any pressure release from the bottom filter bleed valve after you open the compressor bleed valve first?

Do you understand how this filter works and how youll get a yes and a no to this answer?

Some more detailed information, such as the printed details, or the file for printing can be provided. I still can't explain how the rest works.

Because you... released all the pressure! (Opening the bottom filter valve or the compressor bleed valve is the same thing, in terms of pressure, but NOT waterl). I open the compressor valve first, then the bottom filter valve, and then the upper filter valve. This way, I empty the compressor of water (primary separator), then the bottom of the filter (secondary and less water), then the pressure from the top of the filter to the gun/tank (no water).

OK folks, I have bit the bullet, or actually the pellet.
Stopped of at my LGS. Ordered a Benjamin Marauder, 22 cal, synthetic stock.
Stopped off at Amazon. An inexpensive compressor, a Vevor. and a spinning target to shoot at (G).
A small step for mankind, a big step for me!

Now comes the hard part, learning how to lie convincingly about your shooting success.

No racing stripes and it's not red so it can't go fast.

This is pretty much a copy of the one Xoloti made for me, my cheek weld and eye line up to the optic is perfect, it's short, it's not a darn rifle but it's comfortable and really helps to steady it.

LOL...I am thinking of getting one in 700mm for a dedicated slugger! All great minds think a like !

If you do get the 25cal because the JSB KO are the best either ones work great...the original and the mk2 slugs...

Good stuff, HogKiller!
Excellent shooting 'range'!

Supposed to warm up this week, Wednesday being the warmest.

Glad I got it out of the way, it was warm be we had a nice breeze that helped, we quit at 12, 4 hrs was enough. Us old folks tend to get tuckered out.

This listing has been renewed

Interesting that mine shoots the JSB Match 7.33g at a muzzle velocity of 448 fps which is 5 fps faster than the RWS Meister 7.0g which is a lighter pellet. Check out the 1.4 std deviation!

this post started in 2016,I wonder what became of this?

I know,I know,one that shoots where I aim!

I'm looking forward to shooting at this venue in Connecticut. Should be much cooler than shooting in Texas! AAFTA will be providing some great items for the auction, so don't miss out on some great gear.

This foam sleeve should slide into the hybrid wirestock:




Gracias for the specs

I actually prefer pellets.
In general, I prefer the design of the Prophet 1.
I just have serious concerns about the availability of spare parts, as the model is quite old.
Orders from Europe are no problem, since I'm from Austria.

Click to expand...

I cannot comment on the P2 or P3, but I did buy a Prophet Performance with the .22LR right after the P2 was officially released. I did this because I liked the simplicity of design and also hoped I could get a decent price on the old tech gun, and that I did.

As for the RPB barrels in the P3's. I later bought a .25 RPB barrel and am using it in my P1. It shoots very well in the Prophet. Both pellets and slugs.

I doubt that parts are going to be a big issue, but who knows. All I can say is that in 3 years and somewhere between 20 and 30,000 shot fired, I have had one leak from the fill fitting and early on a cracked side lever that was replaced with an updated part. Other than tat, I have had zero issues.
I am sure I will have other leaks, but o rings are o rings.

I wonder, if the bottom of the filter was lower than the compressor outlet, if it would have more water? I imagine for many of us, the filter is higher and that's why the compressor outlet has more water.

Nice shooting! Where did you source these targets? UA asks for $5 ea for their 100 yard targets and that seems steep

Click to expand...

I just print them on my home printer, they are on 8.5x14 legal paper not "11x14". They are just the 7,8,9,10x rings from a RMAC, EBR target. Designed them with Inkscape to the correct size.
