Other  Quick release coupling... Standard?

Hello,

First I would like to point out that I checked the forum, but I haven't found really conclusive answers.

I own an Ataman AP16. I fill it with a Hills mk5 and it works great. I was using the "threaded" probe and I had no leaks.
Last week, I received my new Gk1 v3 and it comes with a quick disconnect coupling. My Hills mk5 doesn't come with this, so I ordered one.

My AP16 came with a quick coupling male probe, and it seems to seal fine with the Hills female quick disconnect.
However, it doesn't seem to work with the Gk1 probe.

Let me show you - I attached pictures.
Somehow I feel like the "retaining" lip of the Gk1 (steel) is shorter than the Ap16 (brass), and so with the Gk1 probe there's a bit of "give" and it doesn't seal. If I apply pressure on the Gk1 probe it seems to seal better, but I wouldn't bet 300 bar on this :)


Another thing - notice the green o-rings in the female fitting - before and after coupling it with either probes - the o-rings seem to be moving out of place, and I am wondering if it's missing a smaller o-ring at the very back to keep the stack "in compression".

I'm a bit confused, and I don't seem to find a standard or norm to Google for. Dimensions seem to be arbitrary - is there any support material I could use to order the right parts? Ideally, I'd like to be able to swap probes without screwing / unscrewing.

Thanks!

The "retaining lips" seem to be of different size... So the Gk1 doesn't go as far in the female fitting maybe?

The fitting before attaching anything to it. Notice the green o-rings are correctly placed.

The fitting after attaching either the Gk1 probe or the Ap16 probe. Notice how the o-rings seem to have moved / twisted...

All parts, side by side, maybe you can spot that I'm doing something very obviously silly?

Diana  RWS Diana Model 5 pistol- squeaks

I've rencently purchased a Model 5, 1980's vintage I think, and it works well. However, when cocking it makes a high picted squeek. I was thinking it was the main air seal inside the gun so I put a couple of drops of RWS silicone lube thru the breach hole. However, it still squeeks. Could the spring be making this noise possibly?

Any info would be appreciated. I've never dissembled it so I'm not sure how difficult it would be to lube the main spring, PS.

Pumps and compressors

Hello everyone. I'm in the market for a reliable hand pump in which I prefer over an electric pcp air compressor. Something that goes up to 5000psi. I've had a few pumps so far and they both craped out on me. I damaged my compressor that's rated at 4500psi on my huben gk1 pistol which everyone knows is 5000psi max fill lol. And recommendations?

AEA  HP ss plus

Hello everyone. I own a hp ss plus and I have an issue with the trigger. When I fire a round it won't fire after I follow up with another shot. I can still pull the trigger but I have to recock the pistol to fire again. It's like the gun went from semi auto to having to recock after every shot. Has anyone experienced this and/or willing to share how to fix this problem?

FX  Impact M3 valve adjuster hitting barrel shroud

Hello Nation,

Just purchased a new .22 Impact M3 and was going through all the basics and setting up the rifle. When attempting to adjust the valve adjuster, I noticed that the valve adjuster was hitting the barrel shroud, making it impossible to open passed 3.5 lines. This is my first PCP so I’m still learning everything. What do I need to adjust in order to move the shroud away from the valve adjustment knob?

N/A  Walther LP400 red dot mount

Hi , I am new to this forum , and somewhat new to air gun. I am lucky enough to have just purchased a Walther LP 400. The club I shoot at allows red dot for competition. I am looking for ideas on mounting a red dot on the Walther. Seems to me the best idea is to use a barrel mount picatinny. Please let me know some ideas.
Thank you ,

FX  M4 help!

Ok just got my impact m4 and trying to get to around 950 fps with around 26-32 grain slugs and the gun won't do it. I'm getting around 850's fps
I heard a stock impact should shoot up to around 34 grain slugs before mods.
I also seen the threads of the cold shot problems with the o-ring and rod issues.
So I'm curious if my expectations of a stock fx are wrong and need a heavier hammer or if I should take the gun apart and inspect if for some issues?
I've tried bumping the reg til it won't shoot any higher, maxed out the hammer tension settings and maxed out valve adjustment. Then turned all down etc etc tried a lot before asking.
My set up
Stock hammer
700mm heavy stx
Pin probe
Dual port down for slugs
Shot a lot of different companies slugs, different weights and tried .217 and .218 with no big difference.
I got a couple heavier hammers inbound

Thank for the help!

FX  Fx Bobcat Mk1

I just purchased a FX Bobcat .22 MK1. This particular gun did not come with a regulator. Hoping to hear from someone who has installed a regulator on this gun and what they thought about the change in the gun. The gun shoots fantastic but definitely has a sweet spot in PSI to get a consistent shot string.

Air Arms  What power TX200 should I choose?

Hello all,
Newbie to this group!

I've decided to treat myself to a new a springer and after hours of reading and watching reviews, I have finally decided to buy myself a TX200.
I live in France which means I have the option of picking up either a 12 fpe (16 joules) model or a 14.7 fpe (20 joules) model.
Most of my shooting is done in my garden and I shoot at 20 to 40m paper targets. I also do a little plinking at roughly the same distance.
I currently shoot a BSA meteor Evo which shoots at 20 joules (14.7fpe) and I really fancy an upgrade...

Do you recommend I pick the higher power 14.7 fpe model or the UK equivalent non FAC 12 fpe model?
They are both the same price and the rifle being so expensive, I really want to make the best choice!

All advice and input is greatly appreciated

Benjamin  Repair 342, worth it

Have a 342 picked some years ago and decided to look into repairing. Not holding air so likely would do a seal repair/replace. Question is the pump arm currently doesn’t stay closed. In other words it doesn’t rest inline with the stock. Will this resolve itself when the seals are replaced of is there another issue causing this?

Huben  Huben K1 additional safety?

I'm interested in the Huben K1, but my biggest issue with that particular airgun is the weak safety feature. I saw on Reddit a post where somebody added a second safety by adding a bolt lock attachment to the magazine. reddit post here
The idea is that the bolt prevents the magazine from rotating when the trigger is pulled. I was thinking I could add a similar system, but I have no experience with hammerless airguns. Could a obstacle hindering the magazine from rotating, damage the airgun if the trigger is pulled? There is no nearer description of this feature in the post. As far as I understand adding a lock to the magazine would at least cost two shots from the magazine, right? (lock + chamber facing barrel)

HW/Weihrauch  Question for HW30 shooters (particularly if they also shoot an HW97)

I’ve had an HW30, for over a year and have been really enjoying it. Last week I swapped my Hawke Vantage 3-7x40 for a AIRMAX 4-12x40. I don’t personally know any other HW30 owners. My questions are 1) how accurate can I expect this little rifle be at 50 yards? I’ve just started shooting this distance at a range and I’ll try and attach what I consider a good 5 shot group at 50y. Second question, 2) I’ve just ordered an HW97 and a Hawke 6-24x50 AIRMAX IR, can I expect better accuracy at 50 yards with this fixed barrel springer? 3) I know each gun may have its pellet preference, are there any you recommend that are outstanding at 50 yards? Thanks for any comments from shooters with these specific rifles!

HW/Weihrauch  WH30s Useful Range

I have a new WH 30s. I bought it mostly for plinking. I will do some but limited target shooing - not competition. What's the longest range this rifle is still accurate? I am aware that it is one of the lowest FPS at the muzzle of all WH Springers and I am good with that. Thanks! Oh yeah, using JSB Match Diabolo EXACT .177 cal, 7.33 grain.
