Its around 120 bar but will confirm later.

I had thought about getting a blank or shaped stock with no inlet. What it came down to was price and compatibility. The barra trigger is significantly farther forward in relationship to the bolt knob than a traditional bolt action. A shaped stock was going to run 250$ with no certainty of compatibility and a blank of the appropriate size was 100$ minimum... one 1/2"×4'x8' of baltic birch enough for 6 stocks was 88$ and allowed to inlet 80% before you glue it up.

Any new news on when you will have a new shipment to Pyramyd Air? I put in a 20 tin pre order at Christmas of 2024 and the expected in stock date has now moved to June 15. Are you still providing slugs and pellets to Pyramyd Air? I've been waiting nearly 6 months

Thanks OV!

Like a comfortable pair of shoes, I feel that a properly fitting gun stock is important so I've been modifying gun stocks since I was a fast-growing teenager.

It's not difficult to make a custom stock if you have access to some basic tools and a decent table saw.

The best thing is to start with construction lumber to practice and learn before going to expensive hardwoods.

I wrote a 6 part how-to guest blog for PA if you want to try making your own stock. Here's a link to Part 6 that has links to the rest of the blog.


Cheers!

If your FX isn't shooting right or you just want to tinker with don't be afraid to polish the barrel, it will improve your accuracy and you can't be afraid to index the barrel I have done it on all of my Crowns and the accuracy is there it just has to be brought out. So this would be the case for all FX rifles not sure about the indexing but polishing for sure and it takes about 30 minutes if that.

nice camo job

Burris Signature rings are great.

Now I’m confused. What is your point? Is this to imply that it was “easy”, or maybe you could do much better? Cool. We’ll see you next year to walk the walk.

I’m not saying I can do better… just that 300 is NOT long distance with a modern PCP. At 400 things get interesting, and we frequently shoot out to 600yds. I’d love to attend one of these competitions, but it’s hard to get time off, so not practical. I was barely able to pull off the ranch hunt with Mr. Hollow Point and Ted Nugent. But you never know where I’ll show up next. lol

You guys were right, oil level was a bit high but not by much.
When I poured new oil in few months back it was really cold so it was settling slower than I thought. I'm always careful about this things but obviously got it wrong this time.
But, this was a new oil after rebuild with maybe 10 minutes of work time and colour is worse than the old oil which I've changed after 2.5 hours of work time.

I'm using Bauer diving compressor oil so oil itself is not an issue.

Everything is still the same even after lowering the oil level. It still blows blue smoke out of the breather.
Mind you, there's not a lot of smoke and it's visible only when I point a flash light at it, under normal workshop lighting it's not visible so I may have this problem for longer than I think I do.
I have topped up my 6.8L bottle two times this week from 260-270 bar up to 300 bar without any issues.
But, there is evidently a problem and potential bigger malfunction waiting to happen.

In any case, after two cylinder rebuilds, there's no point in rebuilding them for the third time. I'll buy both new cylinders with all the parts and change them completely.

Only question is when, my spring vacation is over, little free time that I have on my hands I spend rebuilding my lathe which won't be finished any time soon.

That's a marvelous group offhand. BUT YOU MISSED THE SILVER DIME! Be Well Brother, B.

If you are using the App there should be three bars in the top left corner of the screen. That gives you file manager options

Nice shooting . My .25 delta wolf barrel really likes that pellet as well.

I managed to squeeze a few shots yesterday.
I can now say that MRD Grand's shoot better from my Vulcan than Deep's.
Tried KO .216, terrible, about 50mm (2") groups at 50m
Tried KO .217, these were great, two groups, 15mm and 20mm (really don't know inch conversion of that)

Then the weather turned around in a matter of minutes, we got strong winds, heavy rain and hail.
At least it's a start, I've fixed the barrel problem and it shoots good.

Only problem is, it will be weeks if not months when I'll have free, alone time to shoot again.

We have few clubs (regarding airguns, firearms have many hunting "clubs" but only few shooting ranges and that for clay pigeons only)
Our airguns clubs are for 10m olympic air rifle or pistol. Whole country has two FT clubs but only on paper, no ranges, no club spaces where you could go and talk to people, nothing, we don't even organize FT competitions since we can't get more than 10 people to attend.
My country's shooting federation doesn't recognise FT as a shooting sport.
All hunting and pesting is forbidden which makes airguns less attractive to many.
My country's view to sports is very simple, if it doesn't involve a soccer ball, it doesn't exist
At least we don't have calibre and power restrictions, we just have to register air rifle to keep it legal and that's just a formality and easy to do.
But, since they are collecting and applying all the stupidest laws from all around Europe, it's just a matter of time when they'll put air rifles in the same category as firearms.

Now that’s an interesting thread, I have always struggled with whether to shoot with my glasses on or off as I use separate glasses for reading and distance so have never been sure as to what to use.
Think a trip to opticians is due as these progressive lens glasses that have been mentioned look like they could solve my issue.

Have you found that the c-clips are loose in the piston grooves? That's typical for Yong Hengs, IME.

Haven't really checked the c clips.
They don't have to be tight in their grooves, they just need to be in the grooves enough not to fall out so the part they are holding is secured in its own place

Yes, I believe that everything is described in previous posts.
There is also another thread with some other issues I had/have with it.
