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?

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?
