Snowpeak  Artemis P15 5.5mm - location of hammer spring adjustment screw

Actually the P35X I am working on has a different valve (brass and 7mm in diameter instead of plastic and 8mm) and a different hammer spring. So it makes sense the regulator would be set a little higher. The barrel is also longer and the plenum much bigger, of course. A lot of the parts are still interchangable but not the valve and hammer spring.

If you don't have a bleed screw another option would be to carefully turn the pressure gauge a fraction of a turn. You may have to put a smooth shank screw driver through the hole in the nut for the fill probe and then use the thin walled socket the gun came with on the gauge. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOT TURN THE VALVE MORE THAN A LITTLE BIT. If you turn it too much the gauge will fly off and could do damage. Another option would be to turn the air tube a very slight amount out of the action. Again, there are not a ton of threads (but they are bigger on the air tube) and you need some to hold the pressure. I would not do either of these things from full fill pressure. Best to shoot it down some first. You could shoot it all the way down too. But shooting it down to 100 or maybe 150 bar and then cracking a fitting seems reasonable. Or come up with a way to manually open the poppet. You might also see the bleed screw if you rotate the air tube a bit but be very careful doing this under pressure. It also will not turn easily. The nut is 19mm.
I had one that was either steel or aluminum and one that was brass.. i never had a plastic one in the base 35.. I wouldn't be shocked with different parts used in different time periods, or maybe mine was already upgraded i do not know as i've had one of each only. Jim, i trust your experience over mine, i know the p35 is your baby.

FX  FX Wildcat MK3 leak (cannot be filled anymore)

Sanity Check.

First of all I think that this FX dealer sold me a used pair or valve parts for two reasons.
First because they obviously have marks and dents and secondly is because when I first
asked him for these parts, he told me that they will be available at the end of the month.
But after two days and when I placed the order, he told me that they are available and
that I can collect them.

But after seeing these parts I think I was installing the valve seat in the wrong way.
Have a look at the following two installation orientations:





Orientation A is how I installed the valve, is how I found it installed in the airgun and how I saw it
be installed in the Ernest Rowe Masterclass video for the Wildcat.

But if you take a look at orientation B, you will see that the seat valve has a circular marking at its
center which coincides with the diameter of the Delrin and if these two parts were used, then this
inner mark makes sense.

Either way, when I mate the two parts in orientation B, I feel that I have a more secure seal.
i thought so. I honestly felt stupid for a minute, like i lost my mind. Try it in B

First post… opinions on my two future gun purchases

I'm a fan of Czech guns and I believe the Krait is made there too but I have no knowledge of it. The Taipan's are great guns and very accurate and I would put those on your radar as well. I owned a couple gen 1 RTI Prophets and they were extremely accurate with the .22 LR barrels. Slug guns are a crap shoot and take a lot of experimentation to find the right slug, gun and speed combo so don't expect miracles out of the box when shooting slugs.

Other  Highest asking price for an air gun?

Even if the seller priced it at 10% of what he is asking, the price would be too high. His problem is that while the gun started out as a collectible one, it has seen way too much use and is too worn to be in a collectable condition. There also are no photos of the original documentation on it, which are part of the value of a collectable item (if they exist), and since there are no photos one would assume he does not have them.

I have a wonderful Air Ranger (almost the same gun, except for the color and labeling) that is in as good or better condition, and if I sold it it would have to be discounted due to the normal wear that it has on it from tens of thousands of rounds shot and maintenance over the years (but I won't be selling it). At this point, that gun is just an Air Ranger with different labeling . . .

His only hope - even at a discounted price - is to find a really, really stupid buyer with money to burn . . .

H&N Precision Slug .22 - your new option for long-range shooting

Basically, you've already given yourself the answer: the BC is better with the Precision Slugs.

So fair to say these are the hp slugs enhanced with better BC. They look almost the same so I guess that makes sense.

What velocity was the BC measured at?

N/A  springer grease ?

Took a chance and purchased a "refurb" R7 .177 from PA a few years ago for my grandson. The rifle delivered in immaculate condition to the eye and I had no idea what could have made it a refurb... until I checked out the linkage and noticed fairly over-greased linkage joints,, evidence the rifle had been apart for something, and it was red grease. I now have to wonder if this was the "spring gel" Silver Ace spoke of?
The R7 performed flawlessly out of the box (and still does) with a much quieter shot cycle than my other grandsons' HW30. Kudos to PA refurb techs!

Results  2025 TEXtreme Grand Prix and State Championships Match Report

@AirNGasman Thank you for the detailed report and all of the work that you put into facilitating TEXtreme events Mr. Match Director. Awesome donations you guys. I like @JCup and his product. He was personable and very quick to respond when I purchased PelletGage from him. That Rudy is turning out to be a pretty enthusiastic and magnanimous competitor!! I love to continue to see what appears to be a friendly rivalry on the cards between Derrick and Caleb. I gotta give it to you guys, this heat can be a bear if y‘all also dealt with high humidity. Thankfully y’all didn’t get rained on.
The one saving grace... if you are like "me" and do "NOT" sweat, was the continual use of ice collars throughout the match... without them, the 94 degree heat would have left me for the coyotes. Amazon sells em and they are worth every penny if you have to deal with high temps:

N/A  springer grease ?

Most all of the top tuners of the last couple decades have used Maccari lubes and springs here in the states! And I'm not talking about slapping in a kit and calling it a tune. A tub of super moly and heavy tar will last you the rest of your life and serve you well! Lot of crazy concoctions out there and not saying they don't work but JM lubes are tried and true! Just my two cents Lol.

H&N Precision Slug .22 - your new option for long-range shooting

Maybe you guys can comment on how these compare to the 34 grain heavy slugs. Looks like BC is a touch better as .14 for those versus .11 on the 34 grain HP heavy.
Basically, you've already given yourself the answer: the BC is better with the Precision Slugs.

What did you do airgun related today.

Years ago I was at a bar , and dancing with my 2 friends wives they did not want to go. So anyway I ordered my beer then that song margaraina came on when I returned to my table my beer was gone. beertheif: took it. Lol This was back in my Sheridan days. I'm trying to learn what Parallax means?
I'm going out to shoot my 3622's. Then I'm gonna get a metal breech for each of them. OV.
beerthief came from Frat parties in college . Keg of beer and the plastic cups that all look the same .

Huben  Huben GK1 Target Groups (photo thread)

Whoa

Whoa! Really? Why? OK, I'll do a search but I've been reading a LOT of GK1 posts and don't remember coming across one. In fact, a few days ago, there were a couple of posters who said they got better accuracy, noticeably so, when seating pellets. Thanks for the warning. I'll have to find the posts.
I have explained this beforeseveral times. I will repeat this explanation again one more time. Both the K1 and the GK1 are revolvers. All revolvers require a magazine retention mechanism. In the case of powder burners, it is the flanged cartridge case. In the case of the K1 and GK1 it is the chamfered mouth of each magazine bore. If you measure a pellet, you will find that the skirt is about .010"{ larger than the pellet head. It is the oversize skirt that is held by the chamfer. Both the oversize skirt and chamfer is the retention mechanism. If slugs are used they must be larger than the magazine bore and that friction is the mechanism, , but that makes slug size very critical. Escentially, the guns are designed for Diabolo pellets not slugs. I use exclusively JSB pellets in my GK1s. recently tried H&N pellets and they had same size heads and skirts. So beware they rattled around in the magazine!

First post… opinions on my two future gun purchases

You’re on the right track with your rat gun, but I would go slow on the thermal as that is an expensive option. At 20 yards a simple attached red light will do until you see what really suits your actual needs. Thousands of rats have been killed using such setups by many here.

The Future of PCP Airguns (7000 PSI Compressor Review Video) AEA 480bar PCP Compressor is here....

The fact he reported the compressor broke is not surprising as there was a thread where he destroyed about 7-8 compressors in the span of a year.
This why I decided my second compressor would be my last and bit the bullet on the Super Leggero…. Cannot afford to keep buying disposable HPA compressors. So Nate does provide insights on what not to buy…😈🙏
