I would not imagine it creates a weakness that would impact the top rail. I know the new hunter compact had the ambi cocking lever, has this carried over to the standard HM1000x yet?

I’ve used patchworm cleaning kits in my 10/22 for a while now so when I ordered an avenge-x in 177 it was just natural to clean the barrel the same way. I tried putting the line in through the barrel to pull through and was stopped by the internal baffles. Grabbed a plastic straw worked it through the baffles, pushed the patchworm in, pushed in far enough to get through the straw, pulled the straw out and voila the line came though no issues.
hope this helps somebody.

Thanks so much for this tip. I was fighting with running anything through the barrel of my Avenge-X to clean it. This was the fix.

Here’s a product Bravo 3d sells to assure a thumb forefinger squeeze.

Thanks. I realize that shooting 75 yards is a bit silly the 1st time you are trying a pellet in a rifle, but I was happy with these initial results.

I’m really hoping these 30g JTS .25s do well at 100.

The tunes on my 600mm Crown and this 600mm RTI are “mild” feeling to shoot these 30g at around 900fps.

My shooting style using a light hold is more challenging when using .30 caliber due to the recoil. I’m getting good .30 caliber results with the FX WC MK2 700mm - 44g @ 900 and 50g at 870 - but I don’t like managing the recoil.

Shooting these 30g .25s the rifle is so much more mellow.

Definitely the JTS I’ve tried are performing at the same level as the soft lead JSBs.

Now I’ve ordered some AEAs to try - its nice to have options - especially when they offer different weights than JSB.

Yeah I agree. The delta wolf I have shoots the fx 34 gr pretty well too. Just not quite as well as those 29 gr. The gun will really stack the 25 gr jts and fx too. That .25 power level is much smoother than 30 for sure. With you there. I have the mk3 WC in 30 and run pellets right about where you do with yours. I have always found the fx liners in 30 to be stellar. Love them.

Loved the slo mo kill at 22 yards… good shooting. You are inspiring me to go out again…

Get out there. I’m gonna be going tonight again around 9 pm. Can’t wait.

In my never humble opinion
It is very typical of Chinese designers to develop a product that relies on American hubris to make work properly
just my non sequitur

@JimD Have book marked several of you post on things done with your guns.
Going to wait till I learn more about what my gun wants before deciding what directions I might go with any mods. Certainly will be getting spare parts like poppets,o-ring kits, ect.. Long ago learned that spare parts are better on my shelves, verses being out of stock when I need them.
Found out today that new barrel for my big bore just left manufacturer. Yet to be told how much that will set me back. For now funds will be going into that gun to hopefully finish resolving it's issues.

Who is shooting a Mordax in pistol configuration?

Click to expand...

Good question.

I shoot my Thomas when converted to pistol which is really long and heavy(sucks for offhand though), had a 45-70 TC Contender with a 14" barrel as well a 15" in 17Rem, both way easier to shoot in standing pistol fashion than the Thomas. Plus a few other large pistols also.

This Mordax will mostly be for fast steel shooting as a pistol but it certainly is easy to put the folding stock back on for SBR semi duty.

I put lines of those snap pops behind the target. Rows of 2 ,3, 4 . But on the back side. Then shoot the target and if I hear the pop it’s a hit. Kinda fun.

I thought I would put this here just for a laugh. Not a good day at the range.

I am trying to show the difference between a 250 ,500, 1000 and 2000 dollars guns for field target use.

My 2000 dollar gun is my prise possession. And I am upgrading the very nice scope it has to a better scope.
Illuminated reticle 34mm tube all that. But I need rings and side wheel and level. My 1000 gun is a Tx200 that is tuned and shoots at 12 ft lb. I used it for open WFTF and shot the nationals ten years ago.
That scope is a big 56mm 10-40x scope that cost 315 dollars.
So I swapped scopes and went out to the range to shoot 50 yard cards.
Just for groups what can go wrong?

Well first it rained all morning. So I did not go the the range till noon. The humidity was through the roof. The mosquitoes were swarming all around my face and legs and it was 100 degrees. Sweat running down my face before I even got my gun out.

Ok 50 yard target and take some test shots.
The scope will not rotate past 75 yards on the wheel and will not focus past 35 yards. Total blur at 50 yards. So my fancy scope is junk. I made ten shots for a group and hung up the PCP.


Then I took out the TX 200 with new scope. I was sighting it in a little last week. And shot a couple lanes of field target but could not really hit 50 yard targets well.

Today from the bench the gun was a hot mess.
Four inch shotgun pattern. Forget it. I switched to a sand bag and it was just as bad.
So I went to the sticks and bucket.
That made the groups go the 2 inch and then I finally found a position that was good. It was still bigger than a 1 inch group but with the bugs and heat I was done. Three shots went high left. And I put ten in the group. The three high left were when I pulled the trigger and the gun jumped left. Normally the gun is so stable I can watch the pellet fly into the target. Those three were something I was doing wrong. So I need to just start over with my testing after I practice some more with the TX and replace the 40 scope with a new Athlon Helos scope.

Tomorrow should be better.

Best of both worlds here . watching Birds at the feeder and pest squirrels to feed the fox's . started using HW77 long in .22 as it passes through a Squirrel brain /head very efficiently @ 50 feet .

@kainevil. That is correct about the tiny scrub screw. Mine didn’t have one that’s why it was easy to just slide it out. Thanks for pointing it that out.

O-ring type seals on spring pneumatic air guns are short lived !!

O-rings can move dynamically but can & do roll within there containment groove/channel under high speed dynamic motion. They are also bias to fret on the surface of contact if not rolling and killing the seal they might be making otherwise.
An o-ring is just not designed for that type high speed cyclic dynamic motion.

I am confused. If that's 4 10 shot groups I am looking at, very good. If that's 2 groups I would not be happy. I bought my 54 used off this forum. At 20 meters it was a 3 inch gun at best. I sent it to John Thomas in York Pa and had him tune it. When it came back it was a1.5 gun or at times s bit better. I bought a tuner from Hector Medenez and now at 20 meters it just makes a hole. I have shot back to back 5 shot 1,5 inch groups with it as 100 yds. At 50 yards if you miss a 45 empty case its on you. Yes it's heavy but I am fine with that. Weak point of the gun to me is the trigger but I have learned it.I have no interest in PCPs. I would take a 22 rf, no tanks or oversupply to contend with.

Yes, 4 separate 10 shot groups- 2 at 25yds and 2 at 37yds.

You got me thinking - are there piezoelectric sensors available that you could try? The strain gauge seems like a good option, but you need a really low mV driver to keep noise out - that's tough.

I was just looking through some load cells at Omega's site capable of resolving 0 to 20N - christ, i'd need to sell a kidney or start a go-fund-me, but they are available.

Yes, there were not many Fx Royale in the Aeron Chasis. The previous owner swapped out the Royale for the more "Rare" Fx Elite". Great decision!

Another reason I prefer to order the O-rings needed to create my own repair kit; usually costs me about the same as a factory kit or just a bit more. Sometimes it is possible to get by with a generic kit from Harbor Freight or some other similar outfit but the Avenge-X uses an unusually large number of NBR 90s. You might try an auto supply store or a shop dealing with hydrolic pumps to find the one O-ring that broke. Good luck.

I’m working on printing a prototype now. I will follow up with metal parts if I like the design

The King is probably a wise choice if you were dead set on that manufacturer. Unfortunately that manufacturer falls into the is my liner a .216, .217, .2175 or .218 shooter. FX is responsible for the projectile business booming.

A true liner lottery

Reading the description reminded me of all the multi caliber women women I've known
You too?

Slug the barrel. Lightly tap on the pellet head to flare out the skirt. Then buy a Lee sizer and punch that matches the diameter, and size the pellet. It's a pain, but that is the solution I'd try. Probably in the .252 - .254 range.

Check and make sure o-ring is in breech and is in good shape.
If you have moderator on take it off and try a group.
If baffles are in shroud remove and check for pellet strike on inside of the cones.
Make sure power valve adjustment is not loose.

Dammit. I knew somebody would review the .25 EQ. I wish someone would make an actual manual available, not just the "quick-start" guide.

Sigh. I guess I'll need to just buy the rifle...

Nice vid!

Yes, that Air Venturi part you link should do it. The Walther part is to connect directly to the DIN fitting on a air tank. Or a "DIN300" if it is for 300 bar working pressure.

Seems like a lot of the European competition guns are filled this way. Maybe it is tradition, but they haven't gone to quick disconnect fittings or more 'standard' fill probes many other airguns use today.

Nice write up
I have been a fan of the 22.07 . They are a very accurate pellet
I am not familiar with the PowerPup, so i do not know if it has more FPS to spare, but i have found that these pellets like speed.
around 960-980 FPS have been outstanding at 100 yards and should tighten up your 75 yard groups ..nice shooting
the BC of the 22.07 is about .060 which is on par with a .30 cal ..these do well in the wind
Looking forward to seeing results from 100
Have fun
Mike
