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.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.
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.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![]()
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.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.
Very coolThis 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.

I went with the bottle brush method for de-ping. I got one with a slightly larger diameter than that of my air tube. I then cut about a 3 inch piece and inserted it to a little more than half way on mine, so as to not interfere with my regulator. Works superbly. Added benefit of using the bottle brush is that it isn't affected by the pressure changes. Foam rubber, Styrofoam and things of that nature expand and shrink with the pressure changes resulting in deterioration of the material. I do not have any experience in cleaning tiny pieces of foam rubber or Styrofoam out of my gun, but I am positive that its not as much fun as shooting it.you can make a de-pinger with a piece of foam rubber, a bristle brush or even a piece of rubber hose that fits somewhat snug inside the air tube about halfway inside, it only needs to about 1-2 inches long.
Thanks a bunch. That does it.Right about 2-3/8” from the bottom of the turret housing to the top of the turret at the same elevation setting. Yeah, I guess I was thinking you could figure distance to centerline or distance to the bottom of the objective based on published data. In most of my setups the objective would be the limiting factor on how low a scope could sit, rather than the turret housing interfering with a magazine or mount. I didn’t think of how that could be useful when I took the other measurement.

Not Yet.. I might just go and shoot some powder burner ground hog matchs out to 500 yards..There local within 2 hours...Im sure they will let me shoot me my Texan with all the Bench Rest Powder Burners...Im sure i cant compete with 2 inch goups 30 BRs at 500 yards,,,but i sure can have fun....And do it cheaply... I miss hanging out with the old guys in the Bench Rest crowd.... If the stars align maybe go to Utah Airguns Match...It seems to be the one... I like the idea of the desert..Nice for my arthritis...Flat driving from Ohio to Utah.... Im sure i have to find out ASAp and pre register and all that stuff..Im shooting somwhere this year for sure...@RM.510bigbore Did you find any that you signed up for?
At least it only took you an afternoon, it took me effing 7 different types of ammo, and I was thinking, wow this sure is a picky gunI'll tell you I've done this enough times that I should've learned... the last time I realized I had wasted an afternoon due to clipping I wanted to give myself a sound beating.
That's good stuff.inconsistent velocities is not from a hammer spring problem that much is certain. I would be looking at the regulated pressure. If there’s no gauge , you’ll need to add one. If you have a regulator on an external source like on an SCBA tank use that to eliminate the onboard regulator. But if you’re saying your rifle used to put out X speed and now only puts out Y speed and is consistent it’s not a problem with the regulator per se. But it could be the reg has settled at a higher or lower pressure. Which would require hammer spring adjustment.
I have seen in a few instances on my own air rifles where I was hitting the valve too hard. This would cause the valve to bounce shut reducing velocities and swings in velocity.
That's why I asked here and not at a local machine shop haha. Figured someone here would know how to go about it.While a "good" machine shop can "single point" the threads...
You'd better make SURE...he knows what he's doing !! If the threads are even just a little too deep, and the thread contact with the cap are too loose...filling the reservoir "could"...blow the cap right off !! No matter how tight you "think" it is.
See..."class 3" threads.
Be prepared to "spend".

Yes I did see a BSA Meteor Super GTR.22 made in Birmingham for around $170, but after researching it found out it had a Gamo trigger. I would think that it probably has a Gamo gas ram as well. Had a cold forged barrel. I watched some reviews and accuracy appeared only so so. I figured you can get a bone collector with similar wood stock and the Swarm system so passed on that one.

I asked Krale to take a look at AVS and Silent Thunder Ordnance.Thanks so much for your answer. However I see I cannot order them to be delivered to Europe, where I live. Thats really unfortunate. I am looking for a good long distance ~100yard slug for my Vulcan 3 .22
