Franklin county is a drive from Sanford Maine but in good weather I would consider making the drive if I can find a place to camp nearby.

I agree.FX Pocket Chronograph V2.
I just added the CRC plenum and am now getting around 22-23 fpe.
Of the 3 Mike and I bought, the serial number spread was something like 218. They were produced within days of each other.Lovely pair of NOS HW30S! Great find! They're lovely guns to shoot. Mine is a few months older than those: #461814. Pre-safety Weihrauchs are great!
Nice work!A very talented member helped me out with my 853.View attachment 536512
That's super interesting and thanks for hunting up that thread.here is a post that will tell you that your model is a very early one indeed
so you have a rather rare gun

I believe that I saw the same thing, somewhere, probably the Umarex catalog. The catalog can be viewed as a PDF on Hard Air Magazines website.Pretty sure umarex has an adapter coming out soon they just released at shot show.
STO Falx is actually quiet, unlike Donny’s.Get a Silent Thunder Ordnance Falx or Pugio.
I have both, the Falx works best for higher power setups like my DRS Pro 25 700 at 85 ftlbs.

Falx — Silent Thunder Ordnance
The Falx carries a dimensional envelope of 40x170mm, ~180 grams, with a semi-modular serviceable aluminum-tube design. The same proven principles of air stripping, flow delaying, and sound absorption remain but now in an even more advanced form. This brings improved manufacturability, reducing pricewww.silentthunderordnance.com
The Pugio works great on my DRS 22 700 at 70+ ftlbs.

Pugio — Silent Thunder Ordnance
The Pugio carries a dimensional envelope of 40x100mm and a mass of only 82 grams (2.9oz). Building on the Falx, Sarissa, and Accipiter the Pugio is super compact and light with outstanding performance for it’s size. Packed into this tiny package is all the same proven principles but shrunk down withwww.silentthunderordnance.com
I think I shot my wad on tanks . Jeez now the compressors only run maybe twice a week.You are correct. The only issue is Chinese counterfits and Seconds. When you buy from stateside or european company they have their own inspection and Insurance. When you buy from China from random Aliexpress seller you can be getting seconds or counterfits. We had an experience right before covid with Plastic parts from a reputable Chinese subsidiary of an American company that provided plastic parts with fake certifications of material (purchasing failure on their part). The plastic was missing a critical chemical componenet and when parts were assembled in the states the off gassing of the adhesive made the parts crack. Back tracing showed the material was purchased on some secondary market with fake certification. Massive losses and delays. Everyone gets to gauge their own risks. My customer chose the supplier and sustained a loss. Was it worth based on what they saved for the 10 years prior, probably yes. Will they do it moving forward, probably not. Did the American owner of the Chinese supplier compensate my customer to at least some degree, yes.
don't get sucked into the FX hype fanboy club, lots of other brands out there that perform just as wellI would like to hunt prairie dogs and squirrels, maybe some coyotes with a second gun. If I could shoot 100 yards that would be great. I want it an Avenge X in 25 cal, JT cudamax or a Daystate. I know I don’t have enough for FX platforms.
