FX gages vs soft rifle cases.

Hello all, hope your weekend is going well.

I'm almost done setting up my fx dreamline Tactical (different scope will be ordered in a few weeks) and I'm coming close to needing a case. I've been rocking the original box so far.

I have rimfire and centerfire powder burners. There's a muzzle stuffer around here somewhere as well. So.... I have cases! Both hard and soft. I hate hard cases.... they don't fit well in all vehicles and are awkward. I've put a lot of fun tokens into this project and need something to protect it bouncing around in the truck bed, strapped to the ATV, sitting in the corner, etc.

While there are a myriad of options for both hard and soft cases around. Im trying to way to pros and cons of each type to get the best for this situation.

I started out thinking something like the Pelican 1750 would be the best. That thing is 23 pounds-ish empty and I still need to carry a few things. I just have not measured the thickness of the rifle to see if that ones is the model I need for sure.

I've been looking at the Eberlestock sniper sled drag bag. I own a few things from them and they've lasted pretty well over about 10 years. It has an additional pad for "carrying 2 rifles" that I thought might help protect the Wika gages. So far its main appeal is the pocket setups. I do not care to carry 250 count pellet tins in an AR mag pouch.... especially a velcro one.

I have another square bag that has a fold out half mat that holds 2 rifles similar to something like the eberlestock. I like the idea... I dont like the weight it gets to :p... I got that for carrying deer rifles on the farm when rifle cases were mandatory, after that it was just in a steel bed side by side.

These gages are my biggest concern. I'd hate to get a heavy case just to protect them but the gages are expensive and I have had bow sights knocked off in cheap soft cases... during peak rut with 2 hours to sunset... I dont want to ruin any more hunts over silly things like this.

Anyone have luck keeping the reg and bottle gages safe in somewhat adverse conditions with these soft cases?

I could not find anything exact when I searched the forums.

Putting a moisture filter on my Benjamin hand pump: Inline filter, or the Benjamin desiccant?

So the title pretty much sums up the question. Which is the best at removing the moisture from the pumped air?

I'm using the Benjamin pump for a Marauder, and pumbing to about 2600 lbs. With the desiccant filter you can view the color change without opening the filter,
the Air Venturi inline filter you need to open it to inspect the filter material. Maybe it's a coin toss? Any advice?

Tuning  Aea hp carbine barrel porting question

Hi all. First post here. I picked up a aea hp carbine in 25 cal afew months ago and running it through my chronograph. From the factory it was shooting about 900 fps. Since shimming the hammer spring and cleaning up the burrs on the barrel ports its now close to the advertised 950 fps. I'm getting about 935 with the 25gr jsp. Has anyone ported the 6 holes on the barrel over the size to see a power increase. I took a .098 drill bit to the holes just to clean up the burrs but was curious about going bigger for better air flow to the pellet.

Tactical long range.25

This will be my first post on this awesome forum and I also like to ask the community to forgive my poor English, I had to lea by myself and the most is a remaining from my trip all across the USA in the nineties…

On the search for a new benchrest only pcp in cal. 25, I was aiming towards the new Uragan 2. But since I do already have one of them in different cal., I’d liked to get something different and also more in the “Tactical” style…
Same for the LCS SK-19

Priority is of course the best precision but also as silent as possible too

After excluding FX (too much tinkering), AEA (Chinese), Hatsan&co (Turkish), I’ve ended up with a closer look towards the RAW HM1000 chassis… Just asking: I found it at PA in both versions, just threaded or with the “silencer” included over the barrel, but both of them were rated 4-pretty loud… an error or does this moderator actually not work a lot ?…

Any other suggestions ? (After watching lots of reviews, it seems the Gunnar is not the most accurate and the Ibex as single shot anyway no consideration…). Maybe the Air Arms S510 in the Tactical version ? How would it compare to the RAW ?

Any thoughts and advices would be highly appreciated !

Thanks a lot and heartily cheers from over the pond :)

Wildcat MK3 reg adjustment location - manual not matching

Hi all, I’m new to air rifles and this site. Thanks for having me. I pulled the stock off per the instructions and there is no adjustment as shown in the manual. Looking online it says the brass adjustment on the exterior is the reg adjustment. Maybe its a recent upgrade? There is also the screw circled in yellow in the attached pics but I’m pretty sure that’s not it. Can some one confirm I’m moving the correct screw before I mess something up?
I’m using the tune guide on “dang ole winners “ you tube Chanel to get my 33g jsbs tuned. I adjusted my hammerspring to max so I would not cock and then ran it in a full 3 turns. My speeds are flat 835-840 on setting 4 and 5. 7. So, I’m looking to increase my reg to 125 ish from 100 (!terrible gauge) to get my reg , hammerspring and speed all in harmony. Thanks for any help. I look forward Being a part of the community.

Has anyone attempted a caliber barrel change on the Hatsan Blitz?

Has anyone attempted a caliber barrel change on the Hatsan Blitz? I'm curious to know if the barrels of different calibers can be swapped on the blitz receiver. Hatsan reps claimed that the pellet probe would also need to be changed but I can't Imagine why yet. And of course the mags would need to match the caliber. If Hatsan offered this as an option along with good maintenance and repair info and support this gun would have made much more noise in the industry.

[SOLVED] FX Maverick Compact .177 Cal Main Block has safety screw - remove before shooting.

Hi All FX Maverick Owners!
Has any of Your Maverick Gun, esp. the compact in .177/.22 Cal got a Hammer Limiting Screw?
Asking as mine has got one in the screw-hole indicated in picture where it goes…
This is not present in Parts List either.
FB046AD6-B710-40C9-9A04-D477BB07E2C6.png


This essentially is limiting the hammer to how far it can push the Valve Pin and also so it doesn’t hit the Valve Block.

Will help if You can post Block pictures of Your FX Maverick…

Thanks!

  • Question
AEA Challenger barrel length and caliber vs accuracy?

I'm new to the world of big bore airguns. Don't have much experience with any type of airguns for that matter, but I'm very tempted by what looks like much less spending on ammunition. Having trawled through the various makes and models on offer, I like the the AEA Challenger range. The Benjamin bulldog ticks all my boxes as well, but the traditionalist in me thinks a gun ought to look like a gun...
I just have a question that someone out there must have an answer to.
Between the AEA Challenger bullpup .35 (24" barrel) and the AEA Challenger bullpup .30 (32" barrel) which is the most accurate at roughly 100 yards? Are the smaller and lighter .30 pellets less accurate over that distance than the .35 or is barrel length important as well? Or is there no noticeable difference? And if there's not much difference, how would they compare to the AEA Challenger .35 big bore bullpup (24" barrel) for accuracy?

PCP Pumps - Looking for Long Term Usage Feedback

this one is for the long term PCP users out there.
Could You pls. suggest which kind of the PCP Pumps last long on regular *usage?
consider 300cc bottle fill thrice a week, or 15 fills a month (i m at this stage at the moment).
I have the hand-pump and it's sure the best fit on long-life requirement but i'm looking to buy an electric option.

Which last longer than other requiring comparatively lesser service/maintenance?
  1. Desktop Sized Portables (e.g. Nomad 2/Chinese Make)
  2. Noisier heavier but still portable ones, e.g. Yong Heng
  3. Heavier, water-cooled e.g. AirVenturi 4500 - these can fill tanks
    (not breathing quality though, but not really portable either as they weigh around 30Kgs)
    Attached is the snap from Andy's Airgun Review on Airgun101 Channel here.

My intent is to buy a long lasting one, say 4-5 years at least...

Tuning  Gamo Urban pellet probe o-ring

Hi all, new here!
My Gamo urban's bolt/pellet probe is pretty badly chewed up maybe due to magazine issues?
I bought a viton o-ring kit from Harbor Freight upon reading another forum that they had used and I intend to attempt to replace it today.

Anyone else have this issue?

I cannot seem to find any specs on the o ring online which is hard to believe considering the Urban is a very popular starter PCP.
Thanks all, glad to be here!
