Fouling occurs above ~800 fps, thats why blackpowder slugs use bore butter. Stay below speed limit and theres no need to clean the barrel.

I spoke with Airgun Revisions and Rich will do his magic on my Mrod at less than a new gun and make it the power and pellet weights I need. Awesome guy to talk to about airguns.
I'm hoping to have a 100yd Mrod,but my shooting will be it's determiners not the power or gun now.
A 75+ will be happy times.

"A 75+ will be happy times" That's what you think now! Part of the Rabbit Hole. Once it becomes easy for you then comes the "need" for more power, more accuracy, better gun, etc. Ain't addiction fun

I had a bad barrel in the Krait and just got the replacement from UA .
But the new barrel (.22) has a small trxfr port vs the bad original having a dual trxfr port.
I'm pretty sure the Krait has had a dual port for years now..
Anyone else with the Krait have the single port vs the dual?
EDIT: I called them and get that that's the barrels that Airmaks send for replacements.
I'll just see what numbers I get with this vs dual.

Contact ballistas, or talk to @Sky King

OK I went back , and told the AI It was wrong , and now its saying all 3 made in China , but not at same place.
#1 Umarex Gauntlet made in Shanghai Gong Zi machinery manufacturing Company LTD.
#2 Umarex Zelos made by SPA.
# Air Venturi Avenger made in China by Nova Vista.
Funny how that AI was actually wrong , but it's not the first time. That AI can calculate formulas that would take me hours , but can't do simple things. .

I've been assuming that the Pinty P-Force are made by SPA given that they are clones of Snowpeak rifles.

I scoped mine for a while with a Leupold VX Freedom 9x32 ER and just used the factory dovetail with no issues. I prefer peep sights so it wears a Williams now. I shoot it regularly in my basement at 10 meters but have taken lots of vermin out to 30-40 yards using iron sights. Good old rifles. Bought mine new in the mid 80s if memory serves.

OldVet · Jun 4, 2025

Why the old models to move them out.
Umarex is doing same thing with old orgional Gauntlet 1. Let's see some nicer stocks on the Avenge X Tactical OV.

I have one fully mechanical pcp that was set at 49 fpe, also my EVO set exactly the same fpe using the same slugs, 'Edit much the same weight as well', and with the EVO it's very obviously softer feeling to shoot, so much so it feels like a 30 fpe gun instead.
Could be how each one is tuned but....

My EVO has had plenty of problems but there's so much to like about it I kept it. My G1 Impact had problems too but there wasn't enough to like about it to keep it and I can say that about a bunch of pcp guns I've owned that had fewer problems.

The trigger, Ergos, precision capability using Altaros 32.2 gr slugs, the extra weight for comps, the higher quality simply designed high cap mags, and easy options to tune the EVO are great attributes. I must admit I like the way it looks as well.

That other pcp I mentioned in the first paragraph is much more precise when tuned perfectly for my swaged custom made slugs and has been much more reliable. It does have a heavy HS and a heavy hammer though. I like both guns in different ways but tuning the mechanical gun is best left up to the builder of it as I've found out the hard way a few times in the last 4 years, lol.

Yesterday I was shooting both of these rifles at 250Y BUT the other pcp/Thomas HPX was now set to 65 fpe and also using 42 slugs, and BTW a tune I'll be staying with because this HPX shoots awesome right here. The HPX moved enough so that it was a little harder to see where on the steel I hit or in the dirt I missed while it was easier to see where I hit using the EVO. The EVO had settled down and moved less so I was able to see the slug arrive. This isn't much of course but there. Of note since the EVO is a repeater and gets more shots per fill I could keep laying lead on the steel during a certain wind condition. The HPX is a single shot so getting to the next shot takes 5-6 seconds longer.

Imagine looking at a target through a spotting scope on a tripod that is being buffeted by the wind and looking through the same scope when it's calm out. It's kinda like this.

For the fun of it I think I'll try the Altaros King 40gr at a higher velocity in the EVO so I can compare the two guns again.

Also of putting a compensater on the HPX to see the difference.

Thanks for the input. I still haven’t heard a reason that the .25 is “inherently superior” as you seem to repeat?

BC is affected by a huge number of variables. Cut those down as much as possible and the over riding factors become density, diameter and lenght. Minimizing the force necessary to minimize the rest of those factors is another key component. Therefore it stands to reason that the smaller the projectile, the higher it's BC will be in any conditions.

Centercut said:
As far as vertical jump, you are correct with equivalent spin rates. However, the .30 caliber pellets fly true at the lower rates than do the .25 caliber.

IDK enough and haven't tested enough .30s to say anything worth hearing on this, but I'm curious to hear what you mean by "true".

Centercut said:
At RMAC I’m not sure any of the finalists shot other than .30 caliber?

That's because I wasn't there ...lol

When mounting scope, try one of these. They are $30.00 at Home Depot. They are very sensitive. View attachment 567559 View attachment 567560

I have one but it never crossed my mind to try it. Thanks

If the valve block is still bolted to the rail with 4 top bolts I would loosen them and see if it will relax into place also loosen the buttocks and sometimes laying it on a flat bench helps to get everything in line and try slowly tightening

Hobbyman2007 · Jun 4, 2025

I’ve got two. One in each caliber , both thumb hole stocks. One in laminate which I prefer because of the adjustable comb. If Weihrauch ever release a .25 cal I’m sure I’d be signing up for one also.

That looks like the same unit, and yes those are the filters. They are an absorbent filter, so they are great at stopping solids and other coalesced particles, such as liquid water.

While they are good at catching water, if you have this type of filter (of any size) on the output of your compressor and are finding the media "wet" with water after use, and you do not have a desiccant filter after them before your gun or tank, then you have "lost the battle" in terms of keeping liquid water out of your reservoir as water vapor will be getting past the filter. If anyone wants to know more about how water vapor works in HPA compression, feel free to read these two back to back posts where I explained it in another post a while back: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/moisture-in-pcp-airguns.1321274/page-2#post-1839752

The water content @ ambient, was <10% after the paper filter. Given that is in the "very dry" range of industrial metal storage standards, I have concluded that my supply hasn't an issue.

@Jay308 Interesting resolution to the issue with your Hawke Sidewinder. Can you link this thread with the thread that your referenced with the information that helped you remedy your issue? Please post a link to that thread in this one.

@Jay308 Do you think that you may have tightened your scope rings too tight in your mounting of your Athlon scope? Either way it’s good to read that you got things sorted out.

Ring torque is good 15 in/lbs, same torque driver that I use on my 2k+ scopes. I’ll probably send it in to Athlon for them to check. That can be a symptom of over tightened rings though.

WorriedMan · Jun 2, 2025

Congrats on the new arrival, sorry you're under the weather but that'll pass. Have a few PCPs and labelled some plastic jars to keep all those spare parts together for each. Any parts removed from gun, like moderator thread protector, and extra parts, like single-shot trays, go in gun-specific jar, too. Just grabbing appropriate jar, when working on an airgun, is easiest for me. WM

My fig tree just started to ripen. Starlings are never far behind. Gonna be some good porch shooting in the coming weeks.
