Battle of the cheap AliExpress chronographs

I have the 1st and 3rd one. I like the 3rd the best. I got it to work in the app over WiFi, won’t work with iOS so you need an android. The problem is iOS will disconnect automatically if there is not “data” connection. Once using it in android I wast able to copy/paste the data. It will suddenly disappear also, oh and it only tracks 20 shots. It will purge the oldest. I found the app data useless, just use pen and paper or like I do and open excel on an iPad and use a Bluetooth number pad to quickly record.

I have the original labradar and the new LX, and I still find these cheap chronographs very useful for tuning a rifle. I’ve tested them against each other. The velocity might be off by as much as 30fps, but shot to shot they have consistently mirrored each other. So if one shot on the lab is 5fps slower than another he previous shot, the Chinese will also record 5 fps slower
Didn’t know about Wi-Fi. It’s also the one I now use. Did go outside and used the black one for ease of setup.
don’t think I’ll ever use the second one . It does work though and provides all the info . I mean $18 for someone that doesn’t want to spend more .

N/A  Yet another buying help thread

I am a very biased air gunner but I can’t believe there is a better gun than the Maverick from FX. Shoots slugs or pellets with the right barrel liner, 2 regulators(very precise pressures),very large plenum(power!), excellent adjustable trigger, well constructed(high quality!) and many, many aftermarket upgrades are available. If you equip it with the “Shooting with Phil”easy tune micrometer-based hammer spring system($125), it becomes EXTREMELY easy to tune. The new AMP regulators are really, really good and are now standard.
And you get very high shot counts because or the tuning benefits and it is available on the FX Wildcat, too, which is on the same “base” as the Maverick!
Again a highly biased view but I’m very pleased with mine!!!
better hurry up and buy or reserve to get the best price before the tarif incrreases hit ... most dealers do not stock too many mavericks ... used if you can find it ...

Gamo  Pin removal

Take the load off the pin by compressing the ram a bit. It will pop out. You may need to make a fork jig to grab the ram back.
Before i knew that the pin has a flat, i did put pressure on the NP but the pin would not move. Didn't know about the flat. All is good now, and the fork/jig is done. Sure will need it to assemble as well.Jig for Gamo.jpg

Cleaning new barrels.

I will have to check but I believe it was $75. I'm afraid I have breathed more than two times since then and may not remember it precisely! I haven't received it he. It had to travel from Azriona to Misery if you can translate that. I have been called twisted, even sick AND. But never was I called quite right. So I guess a small amount of Ballistol-ed patch run through the bore of a new barrel won't take care of humidity in shipping until it gets to AOA followed by the state of Misery. Be Well Brothers, B.

Ugly paintwork.

I can relate to the previous owner. If the gun is for hunting do what you need to do to make the hunt successful. I know there are people out there that cringe at the thought that I have my Beretta O/U spray painted flat black for duck hunting. Barrel, action and stock. It works for me and if it doesn’t work for the next owner they can clean it off. It’s my gun and I’ll do want with it.

Skout  New Skout Epoch Compact! Shooter 1721 Testing

From just the looks of it, i do not think the shorter barrel will work in an Epoch.
Skout chopped about 5 1/2 inches off the upper assembly, taking out all the m-lock.
The compact's barrel is showing about 2-3 inches in front of the barrel lock, so too short for the Epoch.
Could probably use longer barrels in the compact, but not vice versa
And it looks like they moved the electronics around for a better user friendly placement, so the lower assembly is different as well.
just an observation,,i could be wrong
Ok. Yeah you are probably correct. Thanks man

Airforce  New Offering - Airforce Airguns Tex-Rex .510

I called Airforce for some parts for my .510 this week...While on the phone i tried to find out if you could upgrade existing .510 TX2 valve to the new 300 bar bottle and valve....Does not look good...All Airforce would tell me is there is more than the bottle and valve... With the African Air Ordinace kit for 4500 psi they used a heavier hammer heavy spring and had to replace t
The old .510 TX2 valve is 3625 psi with carbon fiber bottle ...This new version is 4500 psi working valve with 300 bar carbon fiber bottle..The African Air Ordinance .510 4500 psi super valve has been around for years...This is a factory supported 4500 psi super valve from Airforce as far as i can tell.. Id say only super sonic with light slugs...Most .510 hunting slugs from 1 once to 1.5 once so it will sub sonic.. The old TX2 valve will shoot 650 grain slugs at 750 fps this valve at 4500 psi should be over 900 fps with 650 grain slug..Im happy Airforce has this factory offering... All I know is this setup with 650 grain spire point boat tail slugs .5 B.C has 1000 foot pounds at 300 yards...Better sub sonic ballistics than most things offered... Hopefully will be able to buy the new 4500 psi super valve and tank to update TX2 valves....

he carrier tube... My carrier tube is currently stripped out on my .510 TX2 valve from factory 3625 psi use...So yes the aluminum carrier tube needs upgraded... So i dont think Airforce wants use to upgrade our Texans ourselfs...Sadly

Have to use one of those for my .375ct conversion!

Brocock/BRK  New Offering - Brocock Sonoran .30

I got one with the tune and ootb it shoots really amazing. Took it out to the range last weekend when it was 30 degrees out. I don't shoot well in the cold and I could tell after being out in the cold for about 3 hours the gun was starting to shoot a little slow too. Regardless - it was one of the best first outings I ever had with an airgun. Packed up about 10 different .30 projectiles and went to the 100 yard range. Was putting near MOA at 100 without worrying about wind holds with 2 or 3 different pellets.

I did get the tune as I'm in the 82-84 fpe range with most projectiles. I don't think I'm getting a full 60 shots at full power, but the efficiency is pretty good for a .30. My Red Wolf is a bit more efficient with air - but it's also a stock platform and not a .25 ported for more juice. I already bumped the bottle up to 700cc for a few more shots anyway.

Either way - I think it's an excellent purchase and I'm very pleased. Makes me excited for more SubMOA drop in barrels and the newer EVOL HPS lineup to come.
@ctshooter That’s a good report. For the price point I was actually wondering how it stacks up next to the Daystate Blackwolf 23”. I don’t compete so I’m not so worried about which brand of barrel a gun has so long as it shoots a couple of various projectile brands and weights consistently and I don’t have to clean it too often.

Shooting in the snow - almost

I used to love this for learning drop, the relevance of bc in same weight, various shapes of Diablo and imperfections. The direct affects of wind on the pellets and receiving Instant visual POI reports from otherwise hard to see .177-.25 Diablos. Iron sights were fun and it’s very easy to see them transverse the gap.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Let us know how your equipment faired and what you learned through this

Gamo  Gamo built in moderator

Willy pan of hot water could work.

https://airgunwarriors.com/community/airgun-talk/gamo-swarm-maxxim-shroud-removal/

Mine looks like theres a nut to remove the whole shroud thing ,

Maybe the moderator on a steel type barrel ( like yours) is hot pressed on the muzzle end and thst hot water soften it up to pull off ?

Lol... Gamo ..lol.

Anyone using these hit indicators from Hornady?

What if you hit the stand?
I get why they are cheap...you'll probably shoot it
The indicator is quite sensitive to an impact transmitted through a support attached to the target so it could be positioned a safe distance from the target where it's not like to be hit.

I got the indicators just before the winter set in so I haven't had much time to test what works and what doesn't.
