I am looking to buy a HFT and I like the Raw. They dont have the 0.177. The club I go to requires under 20 lb. And then the consensus is 850 to 900 FPS for optimal accuracy, which brings down the speed to under 800 fps for a 14 gr pellet. So how would you achieve the optimal speed?

You'll be at a disadvantage using 22 cal for any type of sub 20 fpe FT. Either the BC is going to be low or going very slow with higher BC 22 cal pellets. Best to stick with 17 cal unless you don't care much about missing and missing isn't fun. I tried this a few times as an experiment and I was missing the faceplate when the wind kicked up, also shooting my lowest score using JSB 15.9gr which has the same BC as the JSB 10.3 .177. Plus more chance of splits on the edge of the face plate. It all added up to disappointment for me.

But there are guys in my club that are having good success with 20 cal in FT. A tad more BC so good in the wind but not all that slow with the lighter pellets. Just saying this because 20 cal is going to be a custom thing.

Killing small game with 17 cal around 20fpe isn't all that hard if you stay within normal airgun distances and place the shot right and if I was using 22 cal for hunting it'd be 30 fpe or preferably twice that.

This is the dilemma when we try to shoehorn different use cases.

What are the chances that the heat from hard facing the breech would release the breech and fork assembly from the main tube? They are hard soldered together correct?

You can ask

Good solid choices economically and equipment wise.

Now it gets expensive...

Now I'm thinking get a 'bottle' to bring to the range with me to top off. Haven't even touched the gun and already thinking of what more do I want (G).

Check out Airgun Detectives. He has side mounted bipods that work on [most] spring guns.

Chassis, Form over Fashion all day.

Trewax...

I'll give ya 3 guesses

To me, the traditional stock just seems to fit the rifle better.
But you can't go wrong either way really as both look great.
If I hadn't seen the rifle with the laminate, I would have said the chassis was ab fab..

I waxed my car with it once. I must've been high that day; that was a lot of work.

That stuff was an American classic.

To me, it is unfortunate the Weihrauch decided to put those tacky stocks on their entire line.
Nasty looking self-serving advertisement.

I do not mind the smallish Weihrauch script on the forearm so much as I cringe at what they have done to the butt section. Taken as a whole, I am solidly in the 'do not want' camp regarding the new stock design.
Then there is the ridiculously high comb on the iron sighted 77..........

Hi Mark B. Check out this thread

N/A - Dots, Peeps or Scopes ??

I like to shoot all three. It’s amazing to me when my eyes are behaving just how accurate one can be without any magnification. I probably have as many dots on airguns as scopes. Also some diopters. Just fun for me to mix it up. The dots amaze me the most. Pistol or rifle they are accurate, fun...

There is a post (number 12) showing a red dot and the poster says it's OK with spring piston rifles. It's also inexpensive, so not much to lose. Cheers.

Years ago i used to compete with an Aimpoint on an AR platform. Those competitions were pretty brutal on equipment and my aimpoint red dot never failed, it's still going strong many years later and countless rounds through it, dropped in mud and water etc. etc......the company is awesome to deal with if you do run into a problem. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. they have military discounts and sometimes you can find nice ones used and hardly used.

Other than the bolt moving back and forth, the Airsoft M1A1 is not the same as the Umarex Co2 BB gun. I am going to have to take apart, at least partially, the Umarex lower to expose the bolt mechanism (very carefully) and hopefully have access to the spring/bolt mechanism and see what is what. It is after all a C02 BB gun and not a Swiss Watch or nuclear reactor. (Taking pictures as I go.)

While you’re in there, see if there’s any way to add a recoil buffer. Anything that might soften that bolt slamming against the receiver.

Going to have a difficult time shooting left eye/right shoulder. Just went through this with a cadet in the police academy durring firearms instruction. May be better off getting a Notos with a reddot as it can be shot like a pistol. It is a pcp but you can air it up with a simple bicycle style high pressure pump, $50 Amazon ones works great. The small tank will make it easy to pump up. Plenty of shooters on here praising the accuracy of their Notos'.

Thanks, Joe.

That green lammy stock looks pretty sweet.

Tony is sending me 2 more of the mags... the oem mags will find their way into the junk drawer. lol

My Flash shoots 3 12 round mags between fills at 2900. This gun has really found it's way into mine line of favorite low cost guns.

American Welding Society convention in Cleveland Ohio circa 1997 or 98, I personally watched a fellow run a TIG bead up the side of a # 4 sharp sewing needle.

I myself have TIG welded .023 aluminum in my early sharp eyed days, now I am lucky to get a 1/8" 7018 to start correctly........
