Beeman  First Shot Out Of Beeman QB Chief

Hi folks, I have a Beeman QB Chief in.177 that I purchased 2 or 3 years ago. Today is the first time that I have got it out and really shot it. I had put a Red Dot sight on it but after shooting it I'm really not satisfied with it. The rifle shoots pretty well and it seems like I'm going to get quite a few shots out of the 2000 psi. fill. I didn't shoot it across my chrony but it seems to be shooting pretty hard. I was shooting Crosman Premier Ultra Mag. 10.5 gr. pellets. My backstop was a old traffic sign and the pellets were making a good dent in the thick metal. I was wondering if any of you have had any personal experience with this rifle and what kind of accuracy I can expect out to about 30 yards. Also how I can expect this rifle to hold up. It seems to be built pretty good and it is a good looking rifle. What are your experiences?

Air Venturi  Washer/Oring question - Avenge-X PowerPlenum

need to put a new washer/o-ring for the PowerPlenum and it looks like there are 2 different types of brass/metal washers with rubber in the center hole. What are these things called and where can I find them? Looks like the ones i need are the thinner variant.

If anyone has experience with the avenge-x and the powerplenum and having trouble getting it to seal, please let me know how you solved this.

Other  Regulator breaking in?

Hi everyone, after I bought my rifle my regulator would idle at 110 bar but would settle to around 100 bar after a few shots. Now that I have shot over 500 pellets it seems my regulator has been steady at 100 bar. Usually it would go from 110 to 100 from a 200bar full cylinder to 150 bar on the cylinder.

Not trying to complicate it but what I'm trying to say is it's 100 bar from topped off cylinder till it starts to struggle at around 120 bar and below on the cylinder (slow stabilization)

Is this normal? Was my rifle intended to be at 100 bar? And it's just the regulator settling in? Do factories set a buffer on new rifles or something.

HW/Weihrauch  HW30 Vortek Tuning Question

I left my HW30 cocked and loaded for about three months. Speed was down to 530 when I ran it over the chronograph. I had a Vortek Steel kit PG4 for the rifle and installed it this weekend with the VAC seal. No issues with the install, everything went smoothly.

I ran it across the chronograph with H&N FTT 8.64's and was only able to get 580 fps for about 6.5 fpe. Vortek's website says the kit is good for 7 to 9.5 fpe with the VAC seal installed.

I cleaned the inside out and used a small amount of the grease included with the kit. I applied a small amount on the outside of the VAC seal and spring as instructed. Was a simple install with no drama. However it is slower than I expected.

Any recommendations on how to get it a bit hotter? What did I do wrong for it to be so slow? I have shot about a hundred pellets through it and no changes to velocity.

I am wondering what tuning secret I am missing.

Thanks in advance!

Swarm magnum gen 3

I have a swarm magnum gen 3 and it has killed every scope I've put on it. 4 to be exact. So I'm going to make the jump to pcp air guns. I got on the classifieds section to look for a good used one but have to have posted 10 times and had 10 days of activity. So here's my 1st post. Seems like a great resource for information.

N/A  Does velocity effect rifle sensitivity when shooting?

Will shooting lower velocities help a gun be "more accurate"? The boys over in the uk seem to be pretty accurate at sub 12ft.. That makes me wonder will the over all function/recoil/movement through out the shot cycle help the gun (pcp) be more repeatable/forgiving etc.? im not talking pellet stability in flight on talking before the pellet leaves the barrel and just before the sear on the trigger breaks.. Im thinking of tuning my gun down to 700-750 fps.. What would the benefits other than shot count be for shooting that low? any info helps

GX-CS3-I question

Hi folks,

I recently bought a new GX-CS3i compressor on Amazon. I did some deadhead pressure testing and noticed that the pressure dropped immediately after hitting the set psi level, even though I hadn’t yet opened the bleed valve. I checked for air leaks but couldn’t find any. Not wanting to mess with a new compressor, I returned it for a replacement, which arrived today. It does the same thing! I sprayed connections, used two different deadhead plugs (I greased both), and I checked the tube connections. They were tight. I can’t find any leaks. I’ve attached a video showing the problem. Is this normal? I read somewhere that if this happens, something is wrong. But on two new units?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Mike
