FX  FX Impact Pump Action Kit

I setup this saber tactical pump action kit on my FX Impact M3 again. Have not had this much FUN shooting in quite a while. It’s smooth, fast, realistic and a total blast to shoot in pump action shot gun style. I have not seen many posts or information about this kit. Anyone else own and / or using this pump action kit? I can’t be the only one!

I also have it and only use it in speed competitions like RMAC and EBR. The truth is that there are some guys that don't even need it, they are so fast. Anyways I like it.. shake and bake Baby... LOL

How Do You Guys Keep Your Wife From Seeing All The Packages Arriving

Made deal on number of PCPs… To some extent to protect me from myself since I’m a child with an adult’s credit card :) As long as I stay within the number we agreed all is well. Recently went over and sold some because of funny comments I got when she noticed… all in a nice way :) no limitation on anything else like scopes, bipods, ammo, that can come by the truckload and it’s fine.

Lads, I know it’ll sound cheesy and high horse and all. But this is a hobby, and even though a very nice one I am lucky enough to enjoy daily, happy wife happy life. If she or our boy would be in any way impacted negatively by what I’m doing and buying, be it irrational and only “emotionally”, I’d stop in a heartbeat…

FX  How to get higher velocity??

@PCPGUY what are your velocities now? Back five-plus years ago us "First Gen" Impact owner's did a lot of porting and polishing of the transfer port, block, and valve body, added hammer weight, and added plenums of increasing size to get the airflow and hammer strike acceptable to sling heavy lead at decent speeds. All those modifications eventually have made it to the new FX model's. If you search "Gen 2 Impact" and look at the threads from around 2016-2020 you'll see a lot of the work we did.
With the reg around 130 I’m at 900fps with the 44.75s I still have room to go on the hammer spring fine adjustment and valve adjustment so I’m sure I can get to 1000 with all things adjusted up. I was thinking of getting the huma transfer port and pin probe

GX CS4 Exernal Power Supply

Thank you both. This is exactly what I need.

A friend bought a new CS4-i that was delivered with a faulty internal power supply. GX is supposed to send him a replacement but....

His compressor works just fine from a car battery. So, I'm going to recommend that he buy an inexpensive 600 watt power supply from Amazon to use while he waits for the replacement internal supply to arrive.

JackHughs

97 cubic foot tank or 4500 air compressor for being a couple hundred miles away from civilization 2000 to 3,000 shots per day thank you

Lots of assumptions being made in responses here . . . I think it best to get more info to really answer. Could be a team shooting 10M, or running a range and wanting to provide air, or a serious individual shooter - who knows.

The key is to figure out the average air usage per shot and then you can estimate how much air you will need and go from there. And also the fill level of the guns - if these shots are from a high fill pressure gun then you'll need more HPA. One other key thing is to know if it is OK to finish the day low on air, with refill after shooting / overnight.

Odds are that you are likely going to want multiple tanks and a serious compressor, unless these are low power shots.

So, @Huntvarmint , provide some more info and we can help better.

Other  Airgun for Squirrel?

Maybe you don't have to actually kill the squirrels. I have fruit trees in my back yard and over the years have learned that a squirrel whose territory includes your house, who understands not to go near your house, will help you keep neighboring squirrels away. Shooting them just brings more newcomers a couple weeks later. Currently I harass the resident squirrels, with my dog's help, but let them live to squabble over territory with neighboring squirrels. An airgun can help with that as you can reach out and touch the squirrel even if it is far away, and if it is up in a tree where the dog gets frustrated. In my backyard, with the longest distance of ~45 yards, a multipump gun that shoots BBs works best. More distance = more pumps, closer range is safer with less pumps. BBs are relatively safe because they shed power and speed very quickly, and if your yard is small then airsoft BBs might be even better than metal BBs.
That Crosman 1322 has a sister 1377 that will shoot regular BBs, and isn't hard to pump a few times, which is all you'll need to harrass but not kill. Glass windows should be safe at 1 pump beyond 10 yards, 2 pumps 15 yards, 3 pumps 25, 4/35, 5/40, 6/45, 7/50, 8/55, which is about the distances you'd harrass. At those distances with that many pumps the BB won't break the skin. The pumping action of those is an accordion motion, just look for a Youtube video for whatever airgun.
Plus if you just only shoot to harrass then you'll have more squirrels to practice on tomorrow! If you kill them then you and your dog have to wait a couple weeks for more to show up.
Good thought and worth a try. A Red Rider would do the job to harass them and it's very quiet. One lever stroke spits the bb's out at about 350 fps. Could be the solution.

Airgun Shooting bench?

I shot for years off a "Workmate", a cheap, folding workbench. 3/4 ply top screwed to a 2X4, clamped by the bench.

I'm currently set up on my tablesaw (very steady)...with ~17m to the target/trap in the car bay. However, I will be building a portable bench soon to take to the local outdoor range. I like 3/4" black iron pipe for legs, 3/4" ply top with a 2X4 grid underneath for support/flatness. Good exterior grade paint is all it needs. Common threaded sockets for the legs, unscrew and load up for home.

FX  How to get higher velocity??

Figured it out guys! It was my barrel placement. It was not fully seating through the new power block. I had to fine dremel the notch in the transfer port to make it be able to fully seat. Basically the air was not fully being able to make it through the transfer port

How Do You Guys Keep Your Wife From Seeing All The Packages Arriving

For airgun stuff...she instigated. I was told in no uncertain terms to reduce/eliminate the squirrel population here. Boxes arrive and she's excited.

Other "collections", not so much. :sneaky:

I don't hide. I just subscribe to the tenet: "it is better to ask forgiveness than to seek permission" That's worked for 38yrs, so far. :giggle:

What springer did you shoot today?

I pulled out my practically new Diana 48. I detuned it with a 19 ft lb vortex kit. Got it below 1100 fps .
Freaking cannon. It still kicks but dang it can shoot. I put a 16x scope in it and sighted it in. Took a couple shots to find the bullseye. Then just started stacking. I have three underlevers for people to try. The Browning leverage, the Diana 48 and a tuned Tx200. All are so totally different. But they all put five shout under a dime.
