FX  Help Needed: New Panthera Air Rifle Leaks

Hey everyone,

I'm having a problem with my new 700 mm Panthera air rifle and could use some advice.

Basically, when I removed the air bottle for the first time, all the air pressure from the gun's plenum released through the back air tank port. It's weird because my rifle is still pretty new - I've only shot about 50 rounds.

I wanted to check the barrel for a carbon sleeve, as some folks online said their Pantheras were missing it. So, I started the degassing process by dry-firing, and that's when I noticed the air leak.

I followed a tutorial on YouTube to check the barrel, and I did find the carbon sleeve, but it seemed shorter than it should be.

When I put everything back together, all the air left in the tank leaked from the barrel.

I haven't had a chance to refill the air tank or research the leaks further, but I'm worried because this rifle wasn't cheap.

Has anyone else had this happen? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Tuning  Is it easy to modify a paintball tank regulator?

I'm planning to get a Crosman 1077 which I want to convert to HPA. I could get a standard 13/3000 paintball tank but they generally come with regulator pressures ranging from 800-850 which would decrease the power compared to co2. The alternative would be the Air Venturi which has an output pressure of 1100 psi. My problem is the difference in price. I can buy a standard tank for $45 and the AV would be $80. Now I'm wondering if it is easy to modify a regulator to have a higher output pressure. I'm not really experienced but if it's simple then I'd consider trying.

FX M3 air leak problem

Hi. I have a new FX M3 25 cal. I have shot approximately 140 pellets since new. This morning it suddenly got loud and has an air leak. The leak is coming from what the parts diagram calls the pellet probe. It’s the part that pushes the pellet into the barrel. I loaded a pellet then pulled the side lever back to remove the magazine then closed again. I fired a pellet to see exactly where the leak is. It’s not sealing between the pellet probe and the barrel or power block. I plan to call Donny FL , however, its the weekend and I’ll have to wait. I was hoping someone here could give me an idea of what could have gone wrong. Should I assume that i will be sending it back for warranty or something I should probably just fix ? Thanks

Raccoon- Benjamin Trail NP XL

I’m new to air rifles but not new to shooting/hunting however raccoons are giving me a hell of a problem. I got the Benjamin trail np xl in 25 cal at the suggestion of air gun depot and am shooting jsb exact king heavy pellets at 33gr. I’ve cleanly dropped 2 possums with vital shots but raccoons are giving me some trouble. The first coon I took a clean shot to its lungs from about 20 yds and it dropped instantly, after about 5 seconds it got life back in it and scooted away faster than I could reload and take a follow on shot. I’m confident it’s dead but I’d prefer a clean kill… so I decided head shots only from now on. I had a coon tonight inside of 20 yds, put a clean shot at the top of its head (shooting down on it) and it didn’t even drop, just grunted and scurried into a bamboo thicket. Is there a sweet spot to hit on raccoons OR should I look to swap out pellets or to a different rifle?

FX  FX Impact M3 Compact Tuning Pellets

Hello all first post random question…

I have an Impact M3 compact and I shoot pellets only in .177 and .30 in 500mm with superior stx barrels.

I have first regulator at 155 factory and my second at 110 which I have heard is basically as high as you want to go with the stock hammer. This is my starting point for .30.

Here is the question. I shoot a lot from in my house out to about 25 yards in .177 in my backyard from my kitchen table and have been keeping my second regulator set at 110. I then close the valve to somewhat above the velocity I want for the pellet I’m shooting and then lower hammer tension to dial in the speed. I understand this is prob very lazy however I can literally pound a nail in a board from 25 yards. I am wondering what the disadvantage is to tuning the gun this way?

HW/Weihrauch  HW30S - Strange Inscription On Barrel

Has anyone seen this on any Weihrauch before? I just bought this .177 HW30S in Canada. It’s S/N suggests 2017 year manufactured. The gun was pirchased as new. It is shooting incredibly well out of the box. I just have no idea what that inscription might mean. 🫤🧐 see pic of the inscription, and 5 shot groups 2nd time out at 25 yards. I mounted a Hawke 2-7x32mm Vantage AO, Sportsmatch 2 piece 1” 11mm dovetail. Thanks for any comments!

Crosman  Crosman 760 1970 won’t pump up

I found the article very informative about replacing the seals on my Crosman 760. I also found out it was made in July 1970. Thank you. After replacing 3 of the 4 seals and reassembling the BB gun, it still will not pump up and hold air. The 4th seal in the replacement kit just did not look compatible. I noticed when I took the brass valve apart the spring was corroded a little and only one plug came out. It looked like another piece was still up inside. Any suggestions?

Benjamin  Akela 177. caliber

Would anybody have a list of all of the o-rings to the 177 caliber Akela ? Seems that Crosman does not list them and I didn't even see a PDF site like they had before for any of their guns. I also did a search on AGN and GTA. Would like to buy them in bulk and not in a kit before or when I have a problem with the gun. I know my last resort is to take it apart and measure them. Someone, anybody ? Thanks in advance Darell

Snowpeak  Some observations on the Snowpeak p35 / stoeger xm1 bullshark

Got my new stoeger xm1 bullshark aka snowpeak p35 the other day. First thing I noticed was this gun is very very inconsistent
IMG_20240310_213720.jpg

Checked the hammer (factory oil was very sticky) cleaned off the factory oil still very inconsistent.
So I decided to take the whole thing apart which is very easy to do just a single bleed screw.
I found the regulator was cover with silicone grease. Cleaned those off the reg and lowered the regulator setting a bit.
This is what I am getting after. Had to lower the hammer spring as well to hit that 900fps magic number with JSB 18.13gr.

FX  FX Impact Barrel Hold Open Not Working

I took my son to shoot my FX Impact MK2 and he double loaded pellets which got stuck in the barrel. I have not been able to remove the lodged pellets and have a liner on order. FUN.

The bigger issue I’m seeing though is my rifle no longer is doing bolt hold open. What is the mechanism that does bolt hold open when their is no magazine and no pellets in the magazine? This seems to be not functioning as well.
