It's interesting that they say the reg is self venting, as a lot of reg designs vent to atmosphere but don't leak, I had read that it was the O rings that were not of the best type to stand long term pressurisation but don't really see that, not bothering to vent mine as I am refilling air bottles enough anyway.

somewhat normal for Wisconsin, There have been times when it became a 6 hour white knuckle to get home less than 15 miles although that is fairly rare.

And if the next day is sunny and “relatively” mild the squirrels are usually back out scavenging.

Wow, it fits and looks great.

Yes. And that’s an 88 cu ft (60 min) SCBA tank. It fits even the valve, and then unzip the end and pull out slightly so valve can be accessed for use. The four pockets are also useful, and the inside of the bag is padded for tank protection. It’s a great deal for the money.

I need to move to Arizona.

I got the M4 in .22, copper and 500mm (compact) I too wanted something to shoot around the house and you can find .22 pellets at Walmart and other places while higher calibers are a bit tougher. I also wanted it n compact so it was easier to haul around and you can easily upgrade to a longer barrel and even a higher caliber if you decide you want to. I found that my moderator was causing a POI shift so off it came and now I am shooting quite consistent. I am also getting about 4 mags per fill with the .22 which is almost 120 rounds.

I'm using the donny fatboy that comes with changeable caliber parts (.177-.30) on my .22 Wildcat compact. I started with the .22 insert but changed it to the .25 insert because of poi shifts. All is well now.

The crow magnums have a bad rep, but they fly great from this M3, they were terrible in my laat delat wolf, have not tried them in my current one, but .5 in groups at 50yds in my m3, the trophy himters and jsb are a bit tighter, but not much. I have been sniping rats at night from aboit 60yds through a horse panel fence,2x4" holes. It has been doimg surprisingly well with the crows, i have a few tins left to burn up before i go back to the trophys or jsb. The slugs i feed my delta wolf.

never know till you try them, I shoot 27gr H&N hollow point slugs out of my M3 .22 and they shoot extremely well. I was thinking you're probably smoking some critters with those H&NS lol

Again, not what "beating a dead horse" means.
And I did contribute, I gave you my opinion to your inquiry...remember, you even tried mocking it by using "ironic" incorrectly?
He didn't say prisms were perfect, and he didn't say there was no room for lvpos, and nobody is expecting you to apologize for disagreeing with him. I don't know if you genuinely don't understand what you did wrong, but having an opinion or disagreeing with one isn't it.

Let me spell it out for you - it's your dismissive attitude towards a person who is trying to help you. You ask for help, for opinions. Someone offers you their opinion, opinion you asked for, mind you. Your response to a subject you inquired about (keep in mind, you didn't start this thread as a debate, you asked for opinions) is "Yeah, I disagree, but whatever floats your boat". He then asks why you even ask for an opinion if your mind is made up, to which your response is "opinions and information was presented over the last 16 hours that brought me to my decision". You are telling a person who did nothing but try to help you that since you have made up your mind based on information you gathered in 16 hrs, his opinion was no longer relevant to you. Are you starting to understand what my problem is? He told you what he thinks and why he thinks it, with valid reasoning I might add. Even if you understood what he said and disagreed with it, he deserves more than "yeah, whatever" from you. You went from "Any and all input welcomed" to "I know enough to not care about your opinion" in 16 hrs.

Let it go man. Stop being confrontational. No matter how many times you tell me I don’t understand what words mean, it doesn’t make it true. Stop harassing me. Really. Time to let it go. You’ve made your point, and I disagree with it, but whatever floats your boat.

Going to tell me I’m not using that phrase correctly now? I’m gonna do you the favor of blocking you because not seeing anything you say is more valueable than anything you can say. Peace out. Enjoy your day.

Sorry can't figure out how to delete a thread. I doubled one, oops

Here is my solution to barrel whip and sight slippage. It also allows me to keep sight if I remove the barrel to replace orings. If you really consider the Jet design, it's not good to bridge the scope and is common sense that it should be 100% a part of the barrel.

A lot of airguns do not utilize this most basic, stone age concept. How on earth breakbarrels keep sight I don't know. A .005 mm misalignment at the barrel pivot grows to like 30 mm+ downrange (exaggerating.) Having a scope on anything but the barrel, it's just kinda primitive to me.

Condor F.A.T.S. : Revolutionizing Moderator Attachment
AirForce Airguns is proud to introduce the Condor F.A.T.S. (Fast Attach Thread System), a game-changing innovation designed to streamline the process of attaching airgun moderators to the Condor line of air rifles. This cutting-edge system delivers unmatched convenience and versatility, providing shooters with a quick, secure, and reliable way to enhance their shooting experience.

My Daisy 851 was leaking so I bought a rebuild kit for the 853. everything looked pretty much the same but now after reassembling it, the first shot is quite weak, but if I cock it again (not repump) then it will shoot again a lot more strongly, and sometimes it will even do this a third time on the same pump. I have not tried a bb or pellet in there because I'm afraid that first shot might be too weak to shoot it out. IT's supposed to release all it's air on the first shot so this is really weird. what have I done wrong?

The great thing with the Impact I that you can change your caliber later if you decide. I got a .22 cal since pellets are more easily accessible. Neither Cabelas, Farm and Fleet or Walmart sell .25 cal but they all sell .22 and if you start shooting a lot you may find yourself bummed out on a weekend unable to just drive and grab a tin or two.

I've bought from Cameraland multiple times and have been happy. They can have ridiculously good sales, and they ship super fast.

Looks great OP!

Thanks ,I have an fx m3 impact and a dynamic.and your rite on .they die but recovery is rare .i just got a western rattler in 35 cal .im gonna set it today w 174 grain slugs ,i plan on selling my 2 fx guns if anyone is in market let me know .

Great shot and pics! Crows have been digging up our yard for grubs and worms, their beaks act as scythes....TBC....

I have the same setup but I got a 2X4 and cut it to size so I have two layers at the bottom so it doesn’t penetrate through. You can pick up scrap 2X4 at Home Depot for free If you’re lucky. For the lid I cut open and put a few layers of 5mm bubble wrap and a piece of cardboard on top to hold everything in. Works great. Super quiet vs a metal .22lr target box.

Yep, success. I didn't realize there was a second 'hidden' screw. The exposed screw went thru the upper, so it wasn't obvious there was a 2nd

...I was attempting it before work, not a good idea. Glad I took a few to look harder later on & didn't go medeival on it.

Also thnx fot bringing that video to my attn, I wasn't aware of it.

The trigger assembly self-disassembeled. I ordered the upgrade to install anyway so may need the tech support

Made the exact same mistake I made, that 2nd screw is not obvious.

You’ve only got one .25 and one short barrel, so I’d keep those.

The green laminate is beautiful, but it’s not what I associate with Theobens. It looks more modern. The stocks are interchangeable though, right? Maybe keep that stock and choose the least remarkable of the others and the worst shooting of the .22’s and combine them.

Very nice ! Do you lube the slugs or are they straight out of the tin ?

Click to expand...

I live them with silicone wd-40 more to make barrel cleaning easier than anything else though, I didn’t notice a difference in terms of accuracy.

Sorry to hear of this, nice of you to share since will help others in decision-making regarding AEA. WM

Not 100% out of the box but I shoot 30gr HN out of a .22 heavy liner (700mm) at 900 accurate as hell. 130b, HF TP and pin probe, micro a little under 4 3/4, valve adjuster 3.5ish (can measure properly if needed). Didn’t want to mess with the tune since it’s the same for my .25 barrel with 34gr pellets and slugs, but 900fps in .22 was/is plenty fine.
