Had a CS3 which I've just returned. Ran 4-5 times. Filled a Gauntlet from 0 to 3000psi. Supposed to get to 4500psi, no matter what, auto shutoff at 3000psi. Could not fill Akela from 2500 to 3000psi. Contacted mfg (no support from Amazon seller), and they wanted me to disassemble (brand new unit) and take a shutoff wire from the gauge to test the gauge. Filled out return info 5 min after that.

So I need something that will handle up to 4500psi (future "growth"). Light use, these are target/plinking/small varmint use - I'm not filling bottles, and not shooting hundreds of shots when I shoot. Shooting once or twice a month.

What can be recommended in the $400-500 range (or less), that will last a few years for this purpose? And, if possible, post links to your suggestion(s)

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a complete rear sight for the Daisy 717.
I've tried most gunsmiths and none have them. I may also be interested in one that is defective.

Thanks

I’m an experienced powder burner shooter, but have a few “very basic “ questions about my HW30.
1. Is there a safe way to uncock the rifle or is loading a pellet and discharging it the only/best way?
2. Is cocking the rifle the easiest way to get access to clean the barrel from the breach? This is why I’m asking question #1. I’m using a Patchworm and Ballistol.
3. What and where are the lubrication points? Use oil, light grease, or Ballistol?
I love the gun, it’s lived up to everything everyone on this forum‘s has said, e.g., easy to cock, very accurate, outstanding build quality. Thanks in advance for your comments, Tom

Hi guys I have a daystate mk3 just wondered how they are regulated? Meaning are they mechanical or electronic. Also has anyone fitted a heliboard on their mk3?

Thanks

Hi guys anyone know where I can purchase a daystate programmer?

EDIT: For anyone who comes across this thread and would like more detailed information on all of the answers below, here in another great thread on the subject:
https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/tuxing-filter-which-one-for-yong-heng.1271604/

ORGINAL POST:

The answers to these questions might be very simple:
"Use a large desiccant filter when filling tanks." (like this?: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LKYXBYS)
and
"Depressurize the tanks, remove valves, poor out water, let dry."

But I'm curious if there are other methods, and what specific products/methods other people use. I want to learn how take good care of all my equipment.

SPECIFICS:
I have a compressor from Amazon called the GX CS3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0819ZH85H
It has been working well for over a year. I use it to fill a 100cc Air Venturi tank.
Recently the humidity on the Southern California coast jumped much higher than normal for a few days - to around 80-90%. It's usually very dry. I used the compressor a lot on these humid days. I noticed that it was getting much more difficult to twist open/close the valve on the AirVenturi tank. I was also noticing a little water dripping from the fill ports after filling the gun. And when I bleed the line there's a very visible spray of fine mist condensing in the air and/or being released from the line.

Thanks for any info/suggestions.

My M3 leaks out the barrel from about 230 down to 200 or so. It shoots well and at a certain point it will usually stop by itself. More recently this past Saturday while shooting a 100 yd match, it would make a light pop sound,like a little burp and be leaking out the barrel. Accuracy doesn't seem to suffer as I had two groups of 5 shots in the ten ring and nothing worse than 8, even missed one shot and scored 447\500.
Now, if I close the valve adjustment to zero, the leak will stop. Sometimes this tops it even after I open the valve to almost 4 open, other times, it just starts leaking again. I have replaced all the O rings and the valve rod and seat as well with no improvment. I did recently add oil thru filling air plus a couple small drops into the breach. I even removed second reg gauge and put in a couple small drops of oil just to see if it would solve the problem. I can't say for sure this helped or not. If it did, it was short lived. Any ideas?

NEWB here. Great looking website.
I picked up a Barra Cowboy 1866. It doesn't hold air. During each pump I can hear the hiss of leaking air near the "bolt".
I have the "bolt" as far back as it will go and the safety on.
Any advice what might be the problem before I start taking this thing apart to investigate?

I recently purchased a hatsan factor RC,
When I go to fill it up, it leaks rapidly out of the hole that the pellet gets pushed into by the bolt. I could hear the air coming out. when when I leave it sit completely empty from 200 bar in less than 10 mins.and that's all the gun will take is 200/300. It won't fill all the way. I get to shoot 2 mags as fast as I can before it's drained down to 100 bar/ yellow. PLEASE HELP ME. IM NEW TO THIS!!!

Can someone tell me what the shroud adapter thread size is on a gen 1 vulcan?
I’m looking for the the male thread that goes into the shroud itself. Not the 1/2x 20 end.

Does anybody know the specifics on the inside O-ring for the fill valve on the gauntlet .30. Or where I can get a replacement fill port. Umarex will not sell me one directly or give me specifics. Instead they want me to send in my entire rifle and pay for return shipping on a warrantied rifle

I just ordered a new.22 FX Impact III with the power block from The Pellet Shop.

To help me get started, what do the reg, macro & micro settings need to be to shoot the 25.39 Redesigned pellets most accurately?

Thanks!

Has anyone used or heard about the ace care or tuxing air tanks not sure if there any good can’t find anything on them and I’m looking for a tank for my 2 Texans G2 and blitz

I have an almost new TX200HC.
I ordered and received(in 5 days) a TinBum Short Stoke tune kit from TinBum in England.
I'm getting ready to install it and I'm going to use Krytox instead of TinBum's moly lube that came with the kit.
I have cleaned all of the old lube out of the gun completely, but have a question:

Do I lube the outside of the compression tube where it slides back and forth in the receiver when cocking? There was a very thin film of something on it when I removed it and in the receiver, but I thought that may have just been the moly from the spring and piston that dispersed though firing the gun.

I have it all so clean now, that I'm being extremely careful about where and how much I lube with the Krytox.
I've looked at dozen's of threads both here and on the other forums regarding tuning a TX200, but nothing has ever been mentioned about lubing the outside of the compression tube where it slides in the receiver when cocking the gun.
I guess that I could call/email TimBum, but wanted ya'lls opinion please.
Thanks in advance.

My father had a Diana Model 48 air rifle. It is damaged and does not work. Is there a market for used air rifle salvage for parts? Can someone put me in contact with a person/business that salvages air rifles for parts? Thanks.

Hey, I got a problem with stuck pellet and I tried to disassemble the gun.
From another post, I know that removing the slide probably has to do with the pin marked in the picture.
But I can't knock this thing out. Any advice how to do it properly without damaging it?

I’m having issues get my speeds up past 935fps with 44.75 hybrids I have my 1reg set at 160-70 and second reg at 140 or so 600 mm barrel. Any thoughts?

Ok so here it is. I just got into PCP air guns. I shot powder guns and hunted from the time I could follow my dad around in the woods hunting squirrels Rabit Deer Etc. In my early 40's I just got tired of it one day and quit for whatever reason. I quit shooting all together till one day I ran into a video of the Air Venturi Avenger by accident. It took me about a year to talk myself into it but finally did it and now I'm excited to get back into this. But and a big but I'm not overall crazy about the Avenger it's a "tinker's gun" I'm not into that I already have a buyer in mind so there's no issue there but now I need to replace it. I'm looking for a rifle that can do it all without a lot of fuss. Whether its just a day of shooting off the bench or hunting I want something that just works. I was considering the FX Impact but I see a lot of mixed emotions out of what's supposed to be the best air rifle ever made. I know I want .25 cal thats for sure and I know I am only worried about pellets not slugs because I will never use it to shoot anything bigger then a squirrel. I think $2500 will be my limit money wise want to see what the experienced experts say. Thanks.

Sightron specifically- can you tell me the difference between a target turret and a tactical turret. Any advantage of one or the other?
Thanks

Question about the 2 piece adjustable mounts by Sports Match. Do the adjustable screws need to be on the right side (starboard) of the rifle or not? I have them on the left side (Port) now. The rifle used is a HW98. It shoots low and to the left side of the target, and I ran out of adjustment on my scope, an Athelon Argos BTR 8X34x56. Will switching the side the adjustment screws face fix my problem?

I took the barrel out of my avenger today and I think while pushing it back in I messed up the barrel set screw o-ring. It comes on top of the barrel right above the transfer port. Would anyone be able to tell me where I could get a replacement?

I know you guys will have come across this problem however, can someone guide me towards an answer as to how to make my brand new M3 mag work, please.

Is there a resident RTI Prophet expert? Of so, could they please PM me, I am having a cocking issue. Thank you!

Does anyone know when the Umarex Hammer Carbine will be released?

Hello everyone! Long story short, I have had 1 pcp gun before, 6 years ago Walter dominator 5.5, so i am beginner with these. Now i did buy Tuned Aselkon mx5 with Cnc machined 20cm silencer(the guy was cnc worker) that has shot max 300 rounds, and have alot questions. It is the 60 joule factory model. There is no outside regulator, but there is? somekind "regulator" on there when you remove Air bottle or something. The guy had Drilled the hole there to 0.5mm bigger(he did not remember what it was on stock, he said maybe 2.2-2.5), and if i did understand, some other hole also 0.5mm bigger. Idk did i hear right, that the "regulator" was stock 130bar, but now it is based on his Calculations 160 bar. Also the Spring is Tightened 2 rounds. It is currently shooting JSB Exact king heavy 2.2/33.8g pellets 74-77 joules (chronograph). It is pretty damn accurate, I have not shot over 5 years, and did test shoot 1 magazine, and landed full magazine to 60-70m distance in size of Snus can (around 10 cm wide and 10cm high, or what is the size of Snus can). So now comes the questions! How much more i can get power out of this, and what i need to do ? Also, he has not try slugs, and i am going to go buy Slugs, So what Weight slug should i pick and how long do go in the magazine ? i did read somewhere it was 12.7mm ? not sure at all, so i wont buy wrong size. Zan/H&N and Altaros lead free is available. Also, Should i pick the size of 6.35 or 6.34 ? i would realy appriciate all help i can get .

Oh i did forgot, he allways filled it to 200 bar that is the max? or is it 220. And shot 20 accurate shots, then it drops to 160bar and then he did fill it again.
