If you get a standard SCBA tank with CGA347 fitting try to get a hand tightening fill adapter like this.

All you need to fill from compressor is a double male foster (less than $10) to connect line from compressor to fill adapter.

Marflow knows his stuff! Start with the breech seal.

O-rings are cheaper than dirt online, you can buy a bunch of different sizes and materials for pocket change. Sizes are designated by the internal diameter and material thickness (example: a "3.0mm x 2.0mm" O-ring is 7mm in overall diameter). When I'm buying them I measure the existing seal as closely as I can, then order sizes that match, plus some a hair bigger and smaller, and see what works.

Diana guns of that era make liberal use of thin metal shims in many places. The gun should still have its original ones under the breech seal which may be fine if you drop in the proper size O-ring. It's easy to make shims too, you can use thin plastic sheet stock from a hobby shop or similar materials.

I ordered a variety of those Orings online and certainly some of them should fit. Definitely looking forward to getting my old mod 5 back in shape

These rounds are not exactly cheap to manufacture a box of 25 will retail around $45-$50 mark in the 45 and 50 caliber sizes so guys are not gonna be doing a lot of shooting / plinking with these rounds. I have shot a bunch through several different air rifles and have not seen any effect on the rifling. In order for these to fly Out the barrel at fast speeds they have very small, thin rings that barely make contact with the barrel. These are considered bore riders, so there is not a lot of surface to surface contact however, to shoot these accurately, you must clean all the lead or as much as you can out of your barrel before shooting these optimal performance, I can tell you this they are worth their weight in gold In terminal damage/ performance as seen in my Mississippi Airgun deer hunt vide.state governments have been trying for years to ban lead ammo. Some states have succeeded with a ban on use for hunting on public lands. Most states are still fighting it but eventually it will be nationwide or close to it at some point In my opinion. Non-lead options will be the future advancement in airgun ammo.

im in Ca where of course its already a rule which is why im interested in picking some up from you guys. hopefully youll have them in all different calibers

I sure hope that works! Good luck

I have the AGN app but I have to go through the "log-in, send text code, verify code" process about once a month also! I'd assumed it was a security measure EVERYONE went through here. Am I wrong in assuming that? Does EVERYONE have to do this monthly?

don't understand why some are seeing positive results and others not.

I need to do more testing to be certain, but I think my water temperature went up after the rotate mod. Might have gone up by almost 10 degrees. Like I said though, I need do a few more cycles with it to be certain. Before the mod after one and only one check on a brand new machine I was in the high 90's. After the rotate the water temp was in the 107~108 range, again after only one cycle.

I tried one and it did not stay on the pistol very long. Makes the gun to big and heavy. I like to shoot standing, offhand bullseye style, one handed. sometimes sitting in a patio chair, two handed with gun still extended at arms length. Doing that the eye relief is still not long enough to suit my style.

Burris is the only actual long eye relief scope i can find 12( 14 ?) to 20 inch

Here's diopters from the early mid '50's, (maybe a second pattern Weihrauch version?), and from the mid '50's to modern times. Note how the disks get smaller, and less sophisticated with time: the knurling on rim changes, disk gets smaller, cross hatching to decrease glare changes or is deleted (I guess rubber hoods become common?).
I've seen schützen rifles from 19th century where the disk is has even larger diameter...
Yup, really trivia here!

Umarex Embark

probably has the second most rounds thru it, after my red ryder

Here is one of my favorite Walther's. It's a one-off LG 55 "ambidextrous". The story goes it was built for the wife of a Walther employee who was a southpaw. Both she and her husband shot competition in Germany and both liked shooting the gun.

BTW; American Vintage Airguns has one of the most extensive airgun galleries on the web. Well worth the time exploring.

Nice gun, beautiful wood but I do not think it is a single stroke or pump pneumatic. It's a spring air gun.

With any used firemans tank that comes with a standard CGA347 valve, you will need something known as a "fill station" to use it connect to your airgun and compressor. There are many cheap ones on AliExpress or amazon, and some better stuff for more money from other vendors. Just as an example, something like this basic China unit : https://www.amazon.com/TUXING-Paintball-Filling-Charging-Inflation/dp/B0B2RG91LY/

or this more premium unit: https://airtanksplus.com/product/stikman-scba-pcp-fill-system/ (more expensive, but a great product with great reviews)

Or alternately, you could replace the whole valve with an all in one solution, but be sure that it fits the thread size of the tank you bought.

I don’t know if prices are up but Tuxing distributes tank and valve from California. That have been very reasonably priced

I prefer iron sights on a pistol that can be easily held and shot like a pistol.
I'll also put a red dot on a few more accurate pistol - like the GK1.
I do have a few with pistol scopes but those are bigger or heavier pistols that need to be shot off a bag. I just can't understand a rifle scope with 3" eye relief on a pistol - seems to defeat the purpose.

For mine it’s a true pistol scope same offhand hold. There is not many made. The one I have is a UTG and is disappointing so far as to clarity. Burris makes a 2-7 also for twice the money .

Looks more like a Taipan regulator than Edgun. not sure why Ed ever changed the design. Hoping Huma can get you the proper parts so you can get back to shooting that rifle ASAP.

Well I am shooting the rifle, just not with the huma reg and plenum.

@JaceSpace1369 Did Huma Air get you fixed up with the correct shell/plenum with threads?

This is what huma is sending me

@LethalAir How do these copper slugs affect your Texan barrels? Do they wear them out any faster? What do you use to clean the fouling?

Looking for a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph. Must be in excellent cosmetic shape with zero issues. Thought I’d check here before buying retail. Let me know if you have one you’re willing to sell.

Please PM pics and asking price. Thanks!

Love is only half of the equation. The full relationship is Love-Hate.

I love it when it's windy enough to hold off three hash marks and the target goes down.

I hate it when, feeling that exact same wind, the pellet hits the corss hairs... WTF?!!

Moderator reached out to assist quick, which was cool. I had already restarted my computer to clear old apps/ links and other stuff that could have been piggy backed by some spyware or what not. All seems good now.
