Why is @Tpatner412 so pretty
It's a blast. Worth every penny just to meet the people we chat with and read posts from on here. I'm guessing @Michael will be there along with many others. If you can swing the trip you'll feel like you got a bargain afterwards with the contacts you make while there. Such a great group of people!

I missed last year because my rental car got screwed up. Flew there, couldn't get a car, flew home, missed it. But I would have met 2 of my heros, Ted and that Lauren girl who wins about 50 competitions a year. I already met Rick Rehm and Joe Rhea (Cyclops) last time. Super cool! Cyclops told me some hilarious stories! OMG! ....ALL the Youtubers are there. It's a blast. I just hang out, no shooting, still super fun.

What do you mean by remove 1 baffle? Baffle for what?

Wrong thread, same avitar letter color. My apologies. Disregard anything about removing a baffle unless you have a donny FL yokozuna or Ryu. So sorry for the confusion.

Where did you find the parallax info on the Burris scope? Link? Thanks.

Click to expand...

I stumbled across this forum many times through online searches for information before joining. After seeing all the info posted I decided I'd be silly not to join, and so glad I did. Once I looked through classifieds had my eye set on 2 different posts, but like you had to wait my 10 day period. Missed one of them in that time, and during the waiting process decided the other listing wasn't really what I was looking for. I later ended up finding other classified listing deals that I think were better suited to my wants and needs.

Long story short. The wait is worth the end goal and the knowledgebase is immense.

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!

GMI dies of course, now they also work on corbin and other presses with adapters.

This listing has been renewed

Crosman 140's are not rare. Do what you think will bring the best ROI

Try to find the lever link rivet for the 140 2nd variant...gave up and used a screw and nut and dremeled a notch. Shoots fine now.

A little plummer's tape and the valve fitting works great. Not the mini, but works the same.

The barking Sargent is definitely not my style. I believe in explaining the rules and the reasons behind them. I hope once things are figured out it is easy to follow and enforce the policies.

AOA said that they will order me a barrel for my BW I order a 25 28” barrel

So I still consider myself fairly new to the FT game and still learning a lot!!
Im a gadget guy and gear junkie but find myself always not prepared properly and over prepared in areas not necessary.
Talking with a buddy this weekend sparked some more thoughts as I see everyone shows up to matches differently.
Some loaded to the gills and others with nothing.
I like the approach as slim as I can get it but what are some items you always bring to every match.
Last weekend got me caught in several very different weather situations leaving myself wondering how I can prep better.
Id love to see a list and pictures of everyones setup, gear bags etc...
Ponchos? Waterproof paper? First aid kit? Cleaning kit?
I feel this info would not only help myself but maybe all of us in seeing something we didn't think of to pack for the course.
Now this could be stuff you just keep in the car but have with you for a FT match either close or far away.
Pictures would be awesome as well.
Class doesn't matter.

@jwrabbit123 What‘s your reg set at? Which slugs do you prefer to shoot from the King so far? Flat base? Tapered?

Click to expand...

i tried reg so far 120 to 150 bar , i did just have it apart and installed the huma weight and spring and their pin probe for slugs , they only one i found who makes one , I still didnt find best tune I take it out again this weekend today i am working on 25 cal

If it was a real M6, FX for sure would have made the gauges clocked upright for marketing purposes.

Thanks.

Hello all! Another new member here. Been into backyard plinking, trap shooting, and varminting off and on for many years. Back of my property butts up to the sweet potato fields here in California. Shoot all types of firearms and airguns. Owned a Benjamin pump, RWS and Beeman single strokers in the past. PCP journey started with a FX Impact MK2. Now I currently own the M3 .35. Just figure I introduce myself. Lots of good info here.

Welcome !

I am in for all the shoots in Duncan. Worth the 3 hour drive to spend a few days in such a beautiful location. All these trees are a nice change from the desert environment. Tom has been most generous with this piece of his farm and his Dutch oven cooking. Looking forward to meeting some new shooters at a Grand Prix.

Some feel there is a need for sealing of the poppet stem. I do not. If the stem guide is long enough, there is very little leakage that occurs there. Just my opinion.

One thing you can do with that being removeable, that I feel is advantageous, is to be able to change stem diameters. Stem diameters have a large effect on the tuning (closing force) of the valve.

Again, I feel hard stops for valve opening distance (in any form) are not a good idea but may be fine for you.

With access to the valve (like you have) you can do other interesting things. Like making an adjustable balanced valve.

Your design is similar to the AEA hp series and I have an adjustable bv in one of mine.

Keep us updated.

Thanks to all for the fantastic shoot. This is such a great venue. The experience under the trees is such a nice reprieve here in Arizona.

Does that go for 25 cal WC also?
What would be the max fps for all the calibers?
I know it all depends of thee weapons shooting them....
but as an average fps??, for the17,20,22,25 cal.

Be forewarned ... going with Light hammers the use of an SSG becomes less needed and can lead to the requirement of hammer spring to get so heavy/strong that cocking is excessive and trigger loading etc is far from ideal.

Thanks but this is the opposite of my problem again.

PLEASE DO NOT DO WHAT I DID AND RECOMMENDED. My CS2 quit today, I think the overload tripped, while filling my Caiman. It was only at about 150 bar so pressure was not high. It had been working fine. I started taking it apart and that washer I installed to seal the area is missing. It was too big to fall in and was trapped but I am worried I did not anticipate how far towards the piston the washer projected. The piston does not seam damaged except for a slight scratch but somehow that washer went somewhere and I am worried it got chewed on enough it went inside the cylinder. I cannot move the piston and from the position it is in I cannot get the rod off the crankshaft to complete the disassembly. I will continue to mess with it but I may have ruined my CS2. I would hate for anybody else to have a similar experience. I wish now I had left that area open as several of you recommended. Or at least plugged it with a plastic washer that could not do damage. The washer I used was mild steel.

Could of just put a piece of tape over it on the outside, and that way it would of blown off if needed as well.

Early plugs are solid, but those are also vented differently than the newer compressors.

You think the shorter barrel is not a sacrifice in accuracy?

Click to expand...

Barrel length has nothing to do with accuracy (like, after a few inches).

Yes , I purchase a few things from them and packaging is very good , also prices .
