FX  Is the Crown Going Away?

Wow! That's a lot to digest.
Let's see, my Mk2 Crown has six barrels in 177, 22 and 25. I haven't shot the 25 much but all the rest are some of the most accurate I've ever shot. No poi problems, syn stocks are super comfy for me. I dunno, it just works, so well that I'd love to have another action. The Crown is easy to work on too.

As to it going away, dunno, everyone seems to get bored easily and want more, different, next gen, wow factor etc, so traditional may not hang with the plan. It's good that Daystate keeps the Regal so maybe the Crown stays. Who knows?

What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

I've been wanting a stoeger xm1 scout for quite a while. When I heard air gun revisions had a spring discount code I jumped on it. I was initially wanting 25 caliber but they were sold out but I'm very well pleased and looking forward to shooting this 22 caliber I got.

Please let us know what you think of the Scout. I am thinking about getting one too.

Taipan Semi Auto Slash..

McAfee AV is a poor tool to use in these instances. If you’re concerned about website security from the client side, using a JavaScript disabler is a better idea, or just turn off JavaScript in your browser.

Doing this will protect better - only turn JS back on for sites you trust.
and here I thought McAfee, after using it was a virus, and I have been using Norton now and I'm sure it's a virus.. the few times a year I actually turn on my computer it has to update and change everything so I then have to figure out, not only how I used to work it but how all the changes made and where it put stuff..
I mostly stick with my phone but T-Mobile does updates too and icons move files locations change and worst of all it disconnect my hearing aids and then I spend 30 minutes reinstalling them..
I just wish we could update when we want to and the rest of the time things stay the same..

blowback pistol slide lubing

I own a Umarex SA10, I read on CO2 guns it's better to only use silicone based lubricants. Silicone oil it's not a good lube for metals so I used silicone based grease on the slide.

It seems to work, but then other people told me to avoid grease since it creates gunk and mix with dust creating an abrasive compound".

This grease is quite thick but stays fluid with time, does not become dry gunk and seems not to trap much dirt.

Gun works well, there's a bit of minor wear on the slide (I'm around 2500 rounds) but everything seems fine at a first look... At the same time I'm not sure this grease is "soft enough" , racking the slide gives a "like rubber" sensation...

What do you use?
On slides I use synthetic grease: super lube (ptfe) it's clear no color. Good on lots of things all It doesn't run out like oil. Safe on seals.

What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

Watched some ytvid's on sighting thru a diopter, really help since 1st I've ever used. Shot another paper before this doing adjustments. Really took my time on this one. #1 was early trigger pull. Shouldn't have shot 17 & 18 as I started a sneezing fit after 16 and didn't wait long enough after. Started losing concentration at the end.
Even off a tripod lots more technique to this than just plinking. Tripod's even has it challenge with the minor repositioning between shots.

Fantastic shooting using a diopter!

Snowpeak  P35 and Bullshark O-rings

Mine was an easy fix today, the pressure guage ring blew out. It was the original. I’m not as well organized as @JimD, all mine are in the original bags from o ring store in a bigger bag. I will be doing what he did since I have a P35 and a bully.

Other  Huben Power Cricket-MAX-ATH Regulator

I put one on an .22 Airforce Talon with a 19" barrel. It wasn't the FPS for me it was dropping the regulated pressure to 1800psi and throwing JTS 25.39gr pellets at 850FPS +/- 5.

I did test it at 2800psi and was getting 1100FPS.

Calculate your barrel volume and multiply by 3 or 4. The Dream has a 25CC plenum and the Max has a 50cc plenum. If your Gauntlet is a .30 the 50CC plenum may not be large enough to add much FPS

When you say barrel volume do you mean the length?

Diana Airbug

I'm fascinated by the Diana Airbug, but at the same time I have still much to learn with the guns I already have. I'm thinking that the Airbug is "quite different" so I would need to "learn other things" , and probably I need to focus on improving my skills with "traditional" pistols.
Am I wrong? For example, is it comfortable to use the Airbug with a normal two handed pistol grip and stance, or is the "Olympic style" needed?
You can use either. I also use a rest sometimes.

Other  Mil-Comm TW25B for spring piston lube?

most thread talk about this as a protective grease and in this thread one poster says it will dry out which could be a bad thing for piston seal lube
the Krytox 205 or ULTIMOX 226 have a solid history of be a fine choice, i have been using 226 for many years and i little will do the trick
on the spring there was a one eyed FWB300 fan that would use Red and Tacky with great success and he has moved on the shooting .22 on You Tube i miss Joe on the forums

i would have to see if that grease acted on seals also
good question
