Of course bro. I’m more than happy to share. I’m definitely not an expert but I do love to research

That is one tempting offer!

I saw the .22 long just a second after it was posted, awesome deal ... the child in me almost ms I take it .. bu the grown up talk me out of it .. there is a point where you need to say to your self I don't needed. I don't need another bag laying around with almost another 2k between the gun n accessories.. is simply nuts .. so maybe there is a few other having a hard time adding another bag to the collection. Not because the lack of funds , is because it doesn't make any sence .. I had enough I will simply enjoy n master what I already have fot the next few years.

@PowderBurnt you beat me to it.

AAFTA has now posted all GP results that we have. We apologize for the delays and appreciate the MD’s who take time to upload their results and course planners to our site.

Did you ever find out what was the problem?

You should try to put your reg on 120-125bars and adjust the spring....... but what the UA said ?

Click to expand...

Yeah drs went and came back from ua,
like week ago,
I requested them to install a shp pellenum but Mr Roger or Robert ua’s main tech said don’t get a shp it will only cause more trouble,
he said shp is only good for higher calibers.
i wanted a reg gauge and that was only way to get one on this drs,
anyways ua replaced the reg with a new one And did set the reg pressure to 125bar.
but now I m getting 60 shots and after that the gun starts to shoot sub sonic levels which means I m below reg pressure,
i guess I need to tinker with hammer spring When I get a chance.
i did request ua for 850fps for 10.34gr
whereas before repairs I use to get around 110 shots with no trouble around 800fps.

If you’re active military they do 15% off btw.

I too have long fingers, so my cure is to simply wrap my trigger finger past the handle and press the trigger by using only the middle knuckle to trip it.
Works for me anyway.

Just a note, I may have posted here, too lazy to look back, but I've done it elsewhere, not one more molecule of air than is necessary to get the thing out of the barrel. Anyway I thought I had my Raptor pretty much there but it wasn't quite right. You can adjust the regs, the amount the valve opens and the tension on the hammer spring, a bit of a pain but I figured out a way to make it way easier. Ok I started backing off the valve opening until speeds dropped, then went back up right to the bare edge, then I did the same to the hammer spring and, whole-E-poop, the thing just worked, pellets, slugs, it was like magic. I'm welding the darn thing shut now. It's AEA 33.9 pellets and AEA 30.2 slugs.

We have a bunch of chickens and are getting 2 to 3 dozen eggs a day its fun to use a hot glue gun and glue them to all my target stands and pling away. With a .30 62.5 gr slug at 970fps they make a huge POP sound

We just started raising chickens...13 of them. Will be a bit before they start laying though

A 600mm RPB barrel shoots them quite well. Tested up to 940fps. Settled right around 900fps. Was able to spin my 1.5” spinner at 115 yards continuously with them sorted .

I have a Element Max in 58 I bought from a fellow member here and when I received it-it was holding air but when I tried filling it I couldn't get the probe out and had to release all the air called the guy he said it had been in his closet for a year so the oring had stuck I cleaned the residue off the seat area and called Bin and he sent me the parts to repair it with a couple extra orings, Bins a great guy. It's holding air and a Beast shooting 440gr HPs around 784fps.

I still want to have the option to make the voice be Samuel L. Jackson...or Darth Vader. My old GPS unit had that option.

I love my unregulated BSA , simple tech, after some tinkering i got about 20 perfect shots between 200 and 140 bar . All around 238 m/s (+/-3m/s) with 14gr 5.5mm
More then enough to do the job up to 30 meters
Can put it away for a month , never leaks and first shot is spot on ....what more to ask for?
Just have keep the pressure between that upper and lower limit and i know i will hit what i'm aming at
Never going to sell this one

View attachment 564144 what speeds are you guys shooting these at minimum and max speeds please.

Click to expand...

880-930 just what I've heard

just be sure to get out there and shoot in the wind as much as possible. I have been shooting in the winds of Iowa for five months. Now it’s a challenge. Not a terror. Still need more practice.

I don't know if I'm going crazy or not, but the ONLY complaint I have with the 3-12x is the slightly thick mildot reticle.
Sooo, Amazon had a sale on returned OP3 versions of the compact with moa turrets/reticle and I bought a 3-12x and a 4-16x. These have fine reticles and even at 16x clear as all get out, really impressive. I constantly surprised how bright and clear they are. I have a Hawke Frontier 3-15x and it's a super scope, but I really prefer the UTG, better eye box, easier to see markings on reticle, ie 10, 20 moa etc.
These scopes upped the game on mid line scopes. They're as good or better than Vector Veyron.

Thanks for the prompt replies. JohnL57 thanks for the link. I will look into those washers, too jccams and marflow 777. Really appreciate the input.

Mike

I have a 6-24x44 and it is the wored scope, if I find someone I don’t like I will give it to them.

FX Wildcat MK3 power adjustment wheel moves a lot. Does anyone know how to prevent accidental movement?

Click to expand...

This Youtube channel episode (Shooting with Phil) shows his micrometer replacement for the crappy FX power wheel:

There is a link in the description that is an ebay link for international orders. That link will take you to an ebay page that is selling both the micrometer and a replacement for the 2nd regulator screw, but you don't need the regulator replacement screw, so here is the ebay link to just the micrometer for the wildcat mk3.

I hope the ebay link works. I know it's expensive, but it's the best replacement for the power wheel if it's within your budget.

Well, tell you the truth I didn’t fill it up all the way I only filled it up to 4000 psi and I believe I got about 62 maybe 63 I was shooting pallets and then slugs so I kinda lost count, but it was quite a bit Unfortunately when I was trying to fill it up, my compressor broke, and I’m waiting for a part from vevor

I'd second that BuckRail unit. I have a modular one and it is as good as my DFL Tanto in terms of noise reduction. They're 3D printed and very light. You can adjust the length by removing baffles (and thus weight) at the expense of suppression (it will get louder as you remove baffles). They're also pretty inexpensive.

Ok thanks LR_Plinker. Yep I drilled the plenum out , and tapped it to install guage there it never would stop leaking , so I decided to have a mig welder guy weld the hole shut which messed up the temper of the aluminum , and that was it ruined it.
Little pin hole air leaks kept popping up all over. Too dangerous to fill did not want to send a fragment through my eye. I just wish There were nice aftermarket receivers to buy in stainless lol.

22 cal 500mm maverick with hades 15gr pellet. My buddy knocked a vertebrae out of this Tom's neck like a jenga block at approx 30 yards. So quiet the other turkeys hung around for a while after the shot.
