"Too many" airguns?! —
Is that even a possibility?
Sounds like round squares, dry water, and cold fire.
Scientifically impossible.
Philosophically unsound to even think it.

I know the answer to a related question, though:
"Exactly how many scopes is too many?"
The answer is: n + 1
But you knew that already.

Full disclosure:
I have several redundant guns and scopes at present.
So, I have been conceptualizing which gun and which scope should be for which shooting scenario.
➧ ➧ ➧ And that kind of planning has been a lot of fun!

For the guns that didn't truly fill a niche I wrote up sales ads and took photos. (For some guns I have postponed the writing/ picture taking over three years.... ).
I just sold another gun today. I'm feeling good about that.

What now?!
You ask how many scopes I have sold?
Perish the thought!
WHAT in blazes is WRONG with you?!?
Banish such filthy thoughts from your mind!!

I tend to agree with all but your comment on scopes.
N+1? No no no, you must maintain a scope to gun ratio of at least 2 to 1.

I keep failing at this and need at least 3 more optics.

On new equipment that is disappointing.

If it shoots great though that’s what matters to me.

I bought a used Anschutz 54 (22LR) from a friend because he took delivery and realized the barrel was no longer blued, it was spray painted black. We shot it, it hammered, and I got a hammer rifle for pretty cheap. Looks don’t matter when eyes are focused on the results sheet.

The nice thing about the guns with a little wear…. You use them more and care less about the little things. I have plenty of safe queens that I hate to shoot. Plus this gives me $200 towards another gun…trying to decide on an arrow shooter! The bush pig or the M600…..can’t decide

Take the barrel in a different caliber. All Ghost barrels get scratches when you pull them out for cleaning

I tried, I think they realized they were $600 so they offered a discount on the barrel or the $200 so I just took the cash. I will just polish them out. I’m happy with the gun and vendor. Problem solved!

I was hesitating for to long how to rearrange my rifles so I bought a storage cabinet to keep them all in one spot,
Plus my ammo.

Assuming there are some ballistic advantages to be had with a 7mm versus a .25 or .30....hope he has better luck with the endeavor than I have had promoting the .20.

Ive gone blue in the face spreading the word about how, fpe for fpe, the orphan/bastard .20 caliber beats the tar out of the .177 and .22 that it sits between. And nobody seems to care. They just want 35 different projectile options, even if 32 of them are not accurate and have piss poor BCs.

Yeah can't even bring back a very popular caliber from back in the day, fat chance of a new one unless it's just so mind blowingly better compared to whats out there already which will never happen.

Who ever told you it's normal is lying, i completely forgot about that.

Anytime i've tuned a compact m3 I have to loosen the shroud to increase the valve adjuster. Then tighen the shroud against the valve without moving the valve. But this is for higher power set ups.

You can try it and see if it helps.

You can get this piece to help remedy that issue.

Well, one of them was Patrick S at Palm Beach Airguns. And then he suggested I called Newman at Cape Fear Airguns who was heavily involved in FX (forgot his position) and they both told me that was normal and the compacts did that. There is a forum on here that also has dozens of people saying the same thing, so I assume it is normal. I can solve it with a piece of carbon fiber tubing but from what I understand it’s totally normal for the 500mm.

Installing that piece would require disassembly of the barrel shroud. Is that simple to do?

The Black Wolf is Ghostish....I say if you have the Ghost no need for the Black Wolf....if the Black Wolf was a electric rifle like the Red Wolf but with more ""options mother board"" then yes....

Im surprised no one mentioned the Vulcan 3.

The vulcan is great, it's an amazing powerhouse, it's an amazing shooter, but unless you have the land or the space to shoot in an area where you're not gonna bother your neighbors. The gun is simply too loud, and i'm mostly referring to the 700mm versions because everybody chooses them for the amount of power they can make. They are also top heavy tall guns, with the compact weighing in at eight pounds and the long wayne, about 9lbs. With a scope, these guns are easily eleven pounds, not adding a bipod, mod, etc.

The compacts are amazing, had two compacts .30 and .177 both very accurate. The 177 does between 330 and 350 shots per fill at 19ish fpe or whatever 10.3 at 905 is.

This information puts the advantages of a pull through system in a whole new light for me.

In my opinion, the pull throughs are a better than nothing, but nowhere close to a coated one piece rod endeavor. Can get a barrel MUCH cleaner with tight fittings patches on a jag in the end of a rod than possible with pull throughs.

The water still exits the water pump to the cylinder head, from the head to the bottom of the radiator and out the top of the radiator to the reservoir.

You can switch the hoses around, but I would rather see the water forced up through the radiator and out to the reservoir. This is not like a car and the pump can't suck air do to its placement. Forcing the water up will get rid of air pockets, and works very well.

I'll attach a picture of the other way to do it.

nice work , was it hard or complicated to rotate the radiator ?

I'm relatively new to this addicting PCP world. I'm aware the 22LR projectiles have more power. But, in general which has more accuracy out to 100 yards, and which has more drop/rainbow?

That's with every manufacturer whether it's CZ, Browning, or Weihrauch. The only companies that only use high grade wood are not affordable to the layman. Us layman have to roll the dice on the wood lottery. I'm 90:10 wrong on coin tosses so I don't gamble on wood. It makes no functional difference anyway. Sour grapes for this poor schmuck.

Even if it’s only a Sheridan I like Walnut and can only tolerate Beach stocks.

I sell a lot on ebay ive called them multiple times on this, they said they are updating the message to not put the blame on the seller saying contact him. Ebay says there is an issue shipping to California basically calling it illegal and a couple of other states which is completly false it is not illegal to ship to california not sure what ebay has against airguns.

I don't get this either. It ultimately hurts ebay itself by limiting the number of eligible bidders, they're losing revenue.

You know…one thing that I’ve always been curious about and wondered if it could possibly be affecting things is my valve adjuster makes contact with the barrel shroud at about 3 1/3 lines so I am unable to take my valve adjuster fully out to 4 likes. I’ve spoken to a few people on the industry who said this is normal and shouldn’t have an effect on anything for what I’m doing. I can confirm that the valve adjuster doesn’t really affect my fps until I get closer to 3 lines or so, but just something I’ve thought about.

I appreciate the offer to help me out and check the tune. If I really can’t make any progress on it I may take you up on that.

Hello to all responding, I started this thread quite some time ago, but I haven’t heard whether or not we ever got a T shirt with a pocket or not.Seems there is a sizable number of folks that would purchase one
So where are we at with this?

i happen to LOVE orange. so lets be clear
if you dont like orange YOU are in the minority

You just had to go there as your side often does.

You would be hard pressed to find a better scope than an Athlon Midas Tac in there respective price point.

Mine does that quite often. It is usually an in my face or at my back, wind that is directed in a swirl by the terrain causing each flag to point opposite directions.
It was so bad today that I only entertained the idea of shooting for about five minutes and decided against.

Some days are better spent on the couch..lol.

Gotcha, if it gets to be too much I can take it off your hands sometime this week or next and see what I can do for ya. I normally tune my teams FX guns.
