Recently I just picked up a aea HP Max 357 and before I got to the end of the first clip it was like something stayed open in the gun and all the air leaked out of the barrel and upon trying to refill it I can hear and feel the air coming out the barrel and I'm not sure what to do about it I've watched a couple videos and tightened valve inside of the tank and put it back on to no results I'm just wondering where I go from here

So first, my gauge went out on me it was telling me the gun was empty while I was shooting .30 at over 900fps then the a couple days later it started getting incredibly loud not at the muzzle which was suppressed with a ronin, but right by my ear to the point i can not shoot it without my ear ringing for a good while after. Any thoughts ? The gun was only about a month or so old at the time and probably had maybe 200 rounds through it. Any feedback would be appreciated. I have made no mechanical adjustments and nothing has been taken apart before or after this issue.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some input on an air rifle I am considering purchasing. I'm considering the AEA Challenger Pro .25, donnyfl adapter, barrel band, and a saber tactical bottle clamp from the pellet shop.

My intent/goal/purpose is competing in my local guntry club's air rifle bench match as well as having some fun with long-distance plinking. I do not care about noise as I'll only be shooting at a range, plus I also plan to use a donnyfl fatboy 2.0 for funsies.

Given the total price of $943.97 ... what are some other air rifles in the almost at or not too much over $1000 range ... or is the AEA Challenger Pro my best choice?

Thank you for any and all your responses!

From the information I gather the block and internal components are capable of 300 bar. Airmarksman and other brands offer 300 bar bottles and valves made for the FX airguns. What gives? *No anti-FX speculations please. Just real factual answers. Thanks

Hi all.

Just wondering with all thats available for tuning a fx crown mk2 ( tungsten hammer weight etc), what is a safe amount of power that it could be tuned to before any damage could occur due to excessive forces? I have found that 36.2g NSA slugs to be the most accurate at 875fps out of my .25 ( 65ftlbs) with a 600mm superior liner and reg pressure set to just under 150 bar. Could it be said that with my current barrel length, i am at my safe limit ?.

Reaching out on here to see if others can shed some light and give me some insight...

I recently purchased a new FX maverick Sniper configuration .25cal and have a question about my regulator pressures. I tried to do a tune on the regs of 95/70 after watching Steve's tuning video. I was able to achieve the first reg pressure of 95. However, when I turned in my second reg and degassed and regassed the gun, the smallest turn i could make on the 2nd reg adjuster brought my pressure up to about 85 bar. And when I say small adjustment I mean a hair turn. Getting frustrated after multiple attempts to get this tune i decided to go with a tune of 130/100. I noticed that after achieving this pressure, throughout the day, my reg pressure wound up reading 105. I'm wondering why I'm unable to achieve a second reg pressure below 80 and why I'm experiencing an increase in my second reg pressure throughout the day. I also haven't been able to hear my plenum fill after shots like in a lot of the tuning videos in the forums. From what I can tell, it seems as though the gun is acting differently from most. I'll also add my power wheel adjuster is set at 4. I'm no engineer and this is all new to me. I also set up the fx chronograph and my velocities seem to differ quite a bit. I give the gun time to adjust after each shot, but not being able to hear the plenum refill has me wondering what might be happening or if something is wrong. FX support states to contact the dealer support first so I did but thought I'd reach out on here to see if what I'm experiencing is normal or what I can try. I'm shooting only 26.54g JSB Hades Diablo pellets. One last question, I haven't checked to see which port, pellet or slug, is engaged. Which side needs to be oriented in which way to shoot pellets? Thankful for any help.

I live on a flood plane and as such the woods in my back yard has a ton of wild life. Is it dangerous to the environment if I'm constantly shooting lead pellets into the ground where all the animals are foraging? Over the years I have unloaded a bunch of tins. Whats the scoop?

Are these compressors any good. Pretty cheap on eBay so wasn’t sure. Thanks for any good or bad info

Does anyone know if the Air Marksman's CF bottle with FX type valve is compatible with Western Airguns Sidewinder?

Alright airgun geeks, I need your help with something. What is the equation to figure out how efficient an airgun is?

I've been using this equation but I believe it only gives me how much energy is produced per CC.

Reservoir: 300cc
Total air used: 250b starting pressure – 150b ending pressure = 100b
Total air used x total reservoir: 100b x 300cc = 30,000

Projectile: 25.4g @ 960fps for 47 shots
Ave energy per shot: 52fpe (70.5 joules)
Total energy: 70.5j x 47 shots = 3313j

Total air used x total reservoir / Total energy = Energy per CC
30,000 / 3313 = 9 joules per CC


Take for example another airgun with a larger reservoir, a smaller usable air range, lower shot count, and lower FPE. This results in more energy per CC.

Reservoir: 480cc
Total air used: 250b starting pressure – 180b ending pressure = 70b
Total air used x total reservoir: 70b x 480cc = 33,600

Projectile: 25.4g @ 940fps for 40 shots
Ave energy per shot: 48fpe (65 joules)
Total energy: 65j x 40 shots = 2600j

Total air used x total reservoir / Total energy = Energy per CC
33600 / 2600 = 12.9j per CC


But in my mind the 2nd airgun is less efficient because I'm getting less energy, less shots, less FPE, out of a larger air reservoir.

There must be a different equation to figure out "efficiency".

I'm new to the big bore game and I'm looking at 2 riffles but not sure which one I should get hope yall may have some suggestions. I'm looking at the texan lss.510 or the zues.72 don't know which to go with

OK guys the old dementia kicken in"OK i have 4 gun stocks the last one im not sure of"
top-tx 200 walnut

RWS 48
R-1 or FWB 124? OO now im in deep do do?one guy says 124 the other says HW80?

My 1964 model Blue Streak is off for repair. Does anyone have a copy of the owner's manual they would be willing to photocopy for me?
Thanks

I have had my Leshiy 2 Raven .22 cal (350mm barrel, behemoth moderator) for a couple months now. I am struggling with groups across numerous projectiles flying at velocities that I have had great success with out of my other pcp rifles. I will get a consistent 5-6 shots half moa and then a couple fliers 1.5”-3” different poi in random directions at 30 yards.

I have checked all scope hardware torques, made sure moderator is secured tight onto the lugs, made sure all ammo is seated into the mags well free of dented skirts, and cleaned the barrel. SD’s across the mags are consistently 5-9.

Any suggestions on where to start with further trouble shooting?

How many shots per fill are your Fx Impact 30s getting with heavier slugs? How much are you spending on internal/external mods to get it shooting where you want it with out failures? I'm wanting to make the purchase hence the questions.

I was given a UMAREX Baby Desert Eagle BB Pistol. It's disassembled (all parts there) except BB magazine spring broken or missing. UMAREX does not support discontinued products. Does anybody know of a repair person or shop that would given it a try.

Is there a way to increase the feet per second on the LP400? Currently at 500 fps, would like to get to 600 without upsetting pistol harmonics. Is it possible?

I just returned one of these to amazon, and ordered another. The one I returned was very hard to cock back and lock. I used the diablo pellets and managed to get about 15 shots out and then the mag got stuck and would not come out. I think they sent me some one else;s return that they had problems with. The box was open not even taped up.

I forgot to turn down my torque wrench before reinstalling my trigger guard. What are my best options to fix this?

Retap the threads (what size)? Purchase slightly larger or coarser threaded bolts (what size)?

I can’t be the only one to have done this!

Looking for infor.on how to bleed air and disassemble my niksan tacto s to clean.And what is the key for that comes with the gun?

Front reg goes to exactly the same as rear, when I remove the bottle all air will hiss out through the bottle connection??? Front reg blown ? Anyone know whats up??

Has anyone with sidewinder .22 tried to increase rate of fire.

are these any good

I would like to put a scope on my S&W 77a. It is one of the earlier models with no grooves cut to mount scopes. Does any one have a method of mounting a scope.
