Setup my Table for Rats…

My seup for the upcoming weeks’ attempt on rats. This station is only 15 yards away from the pictured kill zones. Have had great success with a similar setup in the past. Atomic XR, TP on low, with Zulus atop sending CPHPs. Am hoping to record some of the action. Confirmed my 15 and 25 yard POI today and if they present they are in big trouble… As you can see the set up is Peahen approved… My plan is to wait until sunset and go out and see what I might… Hopefully after the workday, I’ll have as much energy as I had enthusiasm today. Mapped a half dozen different ranges today for future bird pesting…

Leon, Nice setup. After the storm last week ,there's a wood framed metal covered door mashed up on the ground at the farm. So yesterday I thought I'd do a
penetration test (again) w/ the Kral NP03 rat gun. Don't know what gauge the metal is or if its the same as the last metal I found, there are three different
buildings from a couple outfits on the farms. At the "normal" power level (700+ -fps) w/ FX/Hades at 15/16yrds , the shot severely dented the metal and would surely have caused damage to the other side finish /integrity. Turning up to max the pellet blew through leaving a hole easily twice the diameter of the .22 caliber pellet. I'll probably back off another notch on the power & repeat the test when I return. My max distance is 19/20 yrd.s at my spots . I wish I could set up a table like you have, but it's not in the cards.Good shooting!

The web as it relates to our hobby

I thnk it is especially wonderful in this or any hobby . WE all have met and talked to so many people . IT doesn't mater where they live near or far , what would the chances be to meet anybody on this Forum under your normal daily habits ? I am lucky to be able to travel to the Air Gun Shows and i meet a lot of AGN members . I do wear an AGN T shirt with beerthief on it , otherwise WE would just walk by looking at the tables we would never know who was there .
EDIT: if you see me stop and say Hello
actually I don't even know how I found AGN forum but very glad I did, I've had wonderful conversations with some of you, probably wouldn't have met my friend Felix right here in Rogue River.. and definitely wouldn't have gotten to see a lot of guns that I'll never be able to buy..
yes technology is hard, I make the most of what I know..
I does upset me when people complain about the rules and want to change the forum,it like they are not thankful that all this exists.

N/A  Stoeger Bullshark or Air Venturi Avenger Bullpup II ?

Heard about the issues Stoeger seems to have with their whole XM1 series as a whole, was hoping this would've been solved by the time I was actually looking to purchase a PCP, especially for the higher end versions like the bullshark.
I’d be curious as to these stories. Not a challenge .. I want to hear what they are ?

Tuxing double cylinder troubleshooting help

I have a Tuxing TXEDT032, just purchased last September. It's been working great filling my PCP airguns. Yesterday, I didn't have the filler seated and locked and during a fill, almost to 300, it disconnected and I had a rapid decompression. Since then, the compressor is not developing any pressure. Cooling and motor are running fine, did I blow some kind of decompression valve that I now have to replace? No one was hurt but obviously made a loud noise. I don't know what's going on.
Any help is appreciated.

Have you got a link for that on

There are a few things on that page. The only issue I had was the provided design is for 22cal. I tinkerered with the model a little to get it to work with .177 premiers.

Paper targets

Color me confused😀 I’ve been trying to find a resource to buy the n50 and 30 yard and 40 yard paper targets and I keep failing. Any suggestions ?
I print out the N50's from the national50 website - print them on 8.5x11 and tape them together - yields the same size target.

How much clearance?

Great write up, thank you very much. Knowing that close tolerances doen't yield a better result is really valuable.
I was talking PB land, I don't know how much translates to air rifle land, but shouldn't be too much different. I actually had a machinist freind cut me an adapter for my big 30 cal suppressor mount so I could put it on the uragan barrel. I put it on my uragan compact with the shroud removed, it was as quiet or so close as it was irrelavent with the 30 cal endcap on, the alignment was good so I put the 22 end cap on and it was probably more quiet than the uragan with the baffled shroud, and as quiet with the baffled shroud + adding on the uragan suppressor on the end. Lower muzzle pressures in general with air rifles, and smaller volume of gas except in rare cases. The most quiet suppressed PB I ever didn't hear, was a friends 1920's winchester pump .22 short only gallery gun he inherited from his grandmother a few years after his grandfather died. Without the suppressor on the end of the barrel, it was more quiet than a standard 16" 22 rifle with a really good suppressor. Put on the 1920's tiny little suppressor, shorter than my little finger, and smaller in diameter than my little finger, with I think 5, maybe 6, small pressed spring steel baffles in it you could put your ear 2 feet from the muzzle and hear a very quite push of air that you could do way louder with your mouth blowing for 1/2 a second. There are always exceptions to the rule, the muzzle pressure on that 18" 22 short rifle was likely significantly less than a 10 meter olympic air rifle.

Recommended tools?

As others mentioned, the wheeler fat wrench is a good idea to have. I also went through sort of a binge buying of pits this past winter.
Top left is Lowe’s Kobalt, top right doesn’t have a brand name I think from Amazon, bottom left is Harbor Freight and bottom right is Klein Tools I bought at Lowe’s. The top and bottom right are nice because they include the driver handle. The Klein set is a small hex bit size so it’s good it has its own handle.
The Lowe’s Kobalt set is pretty nice because it has a ton of different bits. The Klein set is nice because the bits are small and airguns often have small fasteners. The Lowe’s Kobalt set is especially nice because it has MM & SAE hex (allen) bits so it’s really not necessary to also have allen wrenches.

Alpha Precision Barrels

Lots of us Bulgarian guys are using the alpha precision barrels, especially for FX. Haven't heard one negative.
All guys I know use polygonal, all calibre. I've a 650 mm barrel shooting baby slugs .177 better than I ever dreamt.
The delivery from Spain is painless, my last order was 110 euro per barrel plus 8 or so euro shipping.
Definitely a risk I'm pleased I took.

Hatsan  Maybe AGN can help me get a certain airrifle.

I checked Balistas and they are saying, "long-term unavailable," whatever that means.
