Very nice review!

JEFFPPC · Mar 21, 2025

14 shooters showed up. Best turnout yet. 13 completed, we lost one to a scope problem. It was tightly contested. Chasing 85 years, Nick Wacher shooting his self tuned TX200 edged out Sam Salyards and is HW97 40.5 to 40.0. In third another half point back at 39.5 also shooting a TX200 was Jeff Gates. In the Olympic Class, basically the old springers shot in the Olympics, Richard Smith shooting his FWB 300s won with a 40.0.Thanks to all who came to make our match a success. Match ran a bit late but I did grab a pic of part of our group and the results. Next match is 4/17/25. Hopefully the Tuesday night Winter 10m match at Three Valley Sporrtsmens going forward into summer is going to host 50yd outdoor Springer matches , its being discussed. Come join the fun.

I'm using the barrel at 25" in the SKOUT .... primarily shooting pellets threw it ( JTS 45's ) While i have shot some slugs threw it, not spent any time or effort with them.

Will be using said barrel in Oregon in May for the EBR portion of the event.

Can the FX King Bottle be removed while it is still pressurised or is there a safe pressure to unscrew it?
I want to carry a spare bottle in my bag, so would be swapping it in the field

I have the .25 on the way..can you share your tune findings so far?Reg setting,slug/pellet weights and diameter.One guy suggests it shoots .249 slugs much better than .250.

If you go to the ham forum there is loads of posts about this… for slugs reg at 2500-2600 psi, use hammer spring to tighten your groups up but it won’t do much for power…. Every video I see using .249 slugs has Lower velocities than I’m getting with .250 and .251…for example 850fps with 34 gr H&N’s while I get 895fps with 35gr Franco slugs.

Any specific manifold that will work with the RAW?

Mostly from back in the days of THEOBEN where Unregulated was used more frequently.
I would check with RAW, and confirm on size threads going into receiver your rifle is utilizing ( As there are 2 thread sizes ) and see if they are producing a "fast Flow manifold" that would replace the regulator ?

I have used the Orion Iguana Hunter Impact feeders, they are awesome !

FX Impact Feeder Replacement for Plastic Magazine – Orion Iguana Hunter

Slugs are not working on the original plastic magazines that comes with the FX Impact. With this new feeder you will be able to use slugs on the FX plastic magazines. Number of shots: .177 cal = 34 shots.22 cal = 28 shots.25 cal = 25 shots.30 cal = 22 shots

Or even better get a complete magazine !

Thanks for the info! The paintball tank setup sounds solid. Did you find HPA more consistent than CO₂? Also, any tips on anchoring the valve securely? Thinking of trying something similar.

I used equipment and fasteners I had on hand so i anchored the valve with 8-32 screws.
Tips. Watch your drill depth, buy a bottoming tap. Consistency was similar to co2 but just dialed up a little in performance and you have a regulator in the tank that can be taken advantage of. Also some of the end caps have a check valve so you can still shoot with the tank removed a couple times. I didn't care for this and romoved the check valve. A little delrin hdd from aoa helps with efficiency and noise and a hammer spring adjustment screw too.

It's still going to be "low power" but pretty good for a baseline crosman. It's basically a disco compact.

When I’m hunting I gotta wait for the second wind to kick in. Rifle is always heavy when first head out. Doug at Mad Dog makes great stocks.

Tumblinginflight · Mar 21, 2025

Burst disks are supposed to follow the 3/5 rule.; 7.5k for 4500psi air, 5k for 3000psi air, 1800 for CO2. Can’t say if all imported products adhere to that standard, however.

Gotta have faith we’ll see the pendulum swing back to what works. Right now, they’re on the precipice of taking the same route the automotive market has taken, wanting to fill up their $ervice department$

Wouldnt want that big thing sticking out of the side of my gun, would much rather take a break and just reload mags. Not much on the Tommy Gun look. Guess its great if you feel you need it.

I get it, but when you are just punching holes in paper, it is nice to have a full mag, and when that is empty, I need to fill the gun again,
I will not be using this when I am doing pest control.

MikeVV · Mar 21, 2025

Yep, that's how mine started life, a compact.

I should have looked closer. Thanks

Okay, got it...yeah it sounds like our terminology is getting crossed up. People typically use the phrase “all the way in” to describe the hammer spring being maximally compressed. But since you have tried moving it the opposite direction and found the shot count to get even worse, it sounds like your original setting was indeed at the minimum.

What we don’t know is whether this minimum setting is optimal for the new regulated pressure. When it was unregulated, you indicated it was working well over a pressure range of 200 bar down to 100 bar. What this would mean is, unless the regulator is set quite high—something north of 150 bar—the hammer strike is now too much and it is wasting air. This is a trivial thing to see with a chronograph by making slight adjustments to the hammer spring tension and checking to see if the velocity rises, falls, or stays the same.

Then what you want to do is find the maximum attainable velocity, and finish by reducing the hammer spring tension until the velocity falls just a little to about 95-97% of the maximum you found. When adjusted in this manner, it will use air efficiently and produce a stable velocity.

In the event there is not a sufficient range of adjustment to either go high enough to reach the plateau (max velocity) or low enough to see the velocity begin to fall, it signals the decision will need to be made to either alter the hammer spring (add spacers to increase preload, or shorten the spring to reduce preload, respectively), or change the regulator setpoint.

Thank you for taking the time to break that down for me.
I guess I will make a chrono my next must have item.
Thanks again

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Too bad I just placed an order from Wes in Canada for some other parts. I can’t find them on eBay but I guess I will just make another order with Wes.

No problem. They might come from the same place, the one I ordered on eBay came from Canada as well and was about the same price.

JDR · Mar 21, 2025

Mike Baker has one for $40 shipped. Reasonable price close to eBay's price. Dennis Baker had only one left for $35.

Yes I watched the video from Target Forge about putting a battery on a CS2. I don't want to do it exactly the same way but I like the idea. I will use the superior Milwaukee batteries, however

Figured you saw it but wanted to make sure. I use Makita batteries so I just bought the battery powered GX CS2. i think you will find you will never need to hook it up to a car battery if you have milwaukee batteries. I would just get the battery powered CS2 and swap in a Milwaukee base plate and call it good.

It would be cool to see where those settings put you with a M4. It would have to be ballpark. It’s too late now and I hope it doesn’t bite you but if you truly had a sub MOA gun, you should have kept that liner.

My friend has my old M3 but has decided to use the 700mm sup heavy liner instead of the superior liner that i used, i found that superior liner to shoot alot of heavy slugs very well and he said i can have it back once my M4 arrives.

KWK · Mar 20, 2025

I looked at one of your videos today

MongooseV8 · Mar 22, 2025

I think K&L makes an adjustable probe holder? Or just bump the barrel assembly forward a smidge.

This JTS "Standard" started as one of the original "Testers" from about 3 years ago.
The internals have been a work in progress now having a Cobra valve w/ peek poppet, SSG devise and regulated too.
Full Blue print job, Trigger work etc rounded out the action modifications.
Glass an old school Hawke Varmint 2.5-10x42 1/2 mil having short eye relief perfect with the shorter LOP stock has.
The fitting of the JTS into an RH vintage Diana 75 stock done a few years ago & it turned out looking and fitting as if a factory offering ... So nice

OEM barrel was ok, but wanted match grade accuracy as all the previous work had the mechanical functioning just stellar being smooth and very low vibration.
Was using a KARMA .22 test barrel in it last year and while much better, still lacked what I knew rifle was capable of ..... So In went a RAW .22 cut rifling barrel at @ 23" w/ air stripper and a tensioned shroud having barrel held Very stiff !
It shoots near hole in hole inside 40y and still stacks em out to @ 80y using JSB 15.9's at @ 940 fps. The transfer choke knob still allows throttling the output down to the mid 500 fps range or anyplace in between.
On a 200 bar fill we are getting 5 mags ( 50 shots ) under regulation so the efficiency is quite good. Noise on just a shroud is a modest pop, screw on a moderator it gets shockingly quiet.

Previous thread with 1st barrel trial:
Airacuda maximised
Some other internal tweaks since has found another mag ( 10 ) shots in efficiency.
