Airforce  AirForce Texan .257 Slug Velocities

I just started shooting an AirForce Texan LSS .257 w/34" barrel
Can any members share what they may be getting with slugs, 65,76,80,86 grains +/-
I only have 65gn NSA BTHP. Starting with a full bottle @ 3000psi I'm getting 1065~1080fps for the 1st 3 shots.
I have ordered the above slug weights, I'd be curious to see what I might expect for velocity.

N/A  New to the forum

Just wanted to introduce myself since I’m new to the forum. My name is Matt an I’m from Middle Tennessee. I’m fairly new to the air gun world so I’m still trying to learn everything. A close friend of mine recently purchased the AEA Challenger Pro so I’ve been shooting it for the past month or so. Mostly using it for pest control (possum, raccoon, armadillo) around his property.

I’m wanting to buy myself a gun in the next few weeks but I’m not 100% sure what I should get since I’m still fairly new. My budget will be in the $300-$400 range before buying a scope and compressor. Will be mostly using it for pest control and maybe a little target shooting. I know I would like to get something that’s somewhat compact, fairly light and comfortable as I’m a smaller framed guy (5’8 160 lbs).

Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated!

Benjamin  Question about Marauder Bolt lubrication for smoother cocking

I like my .22 Cal. Marauder Gen 2 Synthetic Stock air rifle and I am trying to keep it as stock as possible. Recently my bolt just tougher to cock. I did search around and look into it. I took it apart, polished the bolt, polished the tube the hammer slides in, took all the edges off the groves the allen head cap screw slides in for cocking but I did not polish the allen head cap screw heads. Well it worked much better but 2 or 300 shots later it is getting worse again. I'm going to work on it again and finish the polishing job but I am wondering about lubrication.

I have read where you can burnish some dry moly into the area very sparingly and recommendations to not use any grease. I am wondering if spray lubes like WD-40 or Tri-flon would be suitable in that area. Seems like they dry and leave a very light coating of lubricant. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Barry

Evanix  Evanix leak

I have an Evanix hunting master AR PCP pistol in .25.
after not using it for a while I can no longer get it to fill due to a leak at the filling site ( both hand pump and compressor) I do set in in the cocked position but no difference.Any useful tips without having to send it in for repairs? I’ve heard that spraying the seals with a bunch of silicone oil may help but I don’t have any sitting around

Other  Tethering pbba .457

I got a carbon fiber 14 cubic foot tank 4500psi and was tethering my pbba .457 today and I took 3 shots and the tank was reading 0psi (the 2nd gauge on the tank that shows how much air went into your gun) it was at like 3000psi.. is that normal it doesn't do that with my .401 and .257 I can just keep shooting and shooting is the .457 using so much air the guppy tank can't keep up?

Airgun Technologies  First world problems (I "need" this new gun . . . ) lol (( 700mm V3 in .22 ))

So the subject says it. ( lol ) I "need" another gun like a need another hole in my head but . . . I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one up from Tony @Talontunes. Keeping it simple I just grabbed one of the black synthetic stock ones. For those of you who have one - straight out of the box - am I going to be able to chuck at least 30g slugs at speed. Speed being 950+. My RTI P1 w/the latest RPB barrel is chucking 25g H&N HP II's at 965'ish quite well and that's "only" a 600mm barrel. Curious to hear from any of you who have one / had one how your experiences were with yours right out of the box. Thanks guys.

What Bipod to buy?

Because I felt I needed a wider stance bipod than the UTG Recon I have, I purchased the Accu-Tac FC4-G2 bipod. Currently using this bipod on a FX Maverick and a Daystate Red Wolf. But I found I don't like it as it's a too wide and not very portable for me. Yup, too many RMAC and EBR videos made me think this was the bipod for me...not. I'd like some input on a bipod that is more foldable to transport, but wider than the UTG bipod. I've been looking at the Scandinavian Arms Benchmark Bipod. Anyone using it? Thoughts? Any bipod suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And I'll be putting the Accu-tac on the classifieds as soon as I can find something that will work better for my needs. TIA Dave

Do I really need any more airguns....because i keep wanting to buy another & my wife's had enough??

I'm quite sure I am not alone in having an almost addictive need to purchase new, different air guns. Despite having a ridiculous collection, especially after factoring in all the scopes, ammo, targets, cases, slings, & upgrades/mods Ive done, etc., I STILL want MORE!! So my question is: do we really NEED more airguns; & if the answer is no, then follow up questions are why not & then why do you think we keep buying them, and if yes, why the need. Different hunting approaches, compactness for carrying, ammo size/cost, I mean I could go on & on? Hence my asking the greatest online forum of airgunners! Do we (or I) actually NEED more airguns? (Help me convince my wife, fellas!)

So, I have: Umarex.510cal Hammer, FX Wildcat MKIII .30cal, Hatsan Blitz .30cal, Hatsan Barrage .25cal, Hatsan Jet I .22cal & Jet II .25cal, Umarex Origin .22cal, Umarex HDR .50cal, two Umarex HDS68 double-barrel shotguns, Sig Sauer Virtus .22cal, Umarex HDX .68cal pump shotgun, Seneca .50cal Double Shot shotgun & .50cal Dragonclaw II, Umarex .50cal HDS pistol, Umarex Air Javelin & Air Saber air rifles, not to mention 7 BB guns/rifles.

So, ladies & gents- what's the verdict? When are enough air guns enough? Or are there ever "enough" airguns?? I have my eye on the Umarex Primal shotgun....

FX  FX Maverick Sniper. 30 regulator problems

Not new to pcps, new to fx guns and regulators.
Today I received an FX Maverick, I aired it up to 250 bar and started watching tuning videos and reading tuning threads here. Problem is these regs don't seem to be doing much. Followed a thread on here from AEAC. With a full tank(250 bar) I can't get my first regulator over 100 bar. So I've made it to step 8 in this thread. Like a fool I didn't record the factory settings before hand. Any pointers or ideas?

Slow leak

Hello,
New here and have a question.
Wanted to get back to air rifle shooting, so just recently I purchased an Air Arms 510s extra from an online vendor. The rifle was discounted as a rebuilt version.
It included a limited warranty and short return window. I also paid for them to shoot a 10 round test that looked fine.
It arrived and it looks like new, no marks of any kind that I can tell.
The issue is that it had about 100 bar of air when received, and now a week later it is almost empty, it seems to have a slow leak.
My air tank is getting hydroed so I can't fill it up yet.
Should I get it repaired under warranty, get it returned and get the refund and by a different gun ?
I feel I paid good money for it, so it shroud work without any hassle especially since it was "refurbished"
Long time ago I used to have an Air Arms TX200 spring gun, and it was an awesome airgun.

Did I make a mistake , What would you do?
