I think you’ve nailed it there, based on my experience, most products produced after COVID from autos to airguns are substandard to items produced pre-pandemic.

Maybe
Just maybe
Lighting up that doober on the drive to work, and then finishing it off during the lunch break could have something to do with it

just my toke on it

I find it's hard to generalize pellet brand preference even for similar guns. My P35-177 likes H&N Baracuda Match more than any JSB I've tried. It shot a tin of Crosman 10.5 almost as well but the next 2 tins were terrible.

My P35-22 strongly prefers H&N Baracuda Match and had given me a 200 on the 30 yard challenge with them. My Stoeger Bullshark strongly prefers JSB 18s and has given me a 198, so far. My Bullshark also gave me a 194 with Crosman domed, one of the best scores with Crosmans.

My P35-25s are split. One of three barrels prefers H&N Baracudas and the other 2 barrels prefer JSB. The most accurate (198) likes JSB.

Unfortunately my experience is you have to shoot a variety of pellets and let the gun decide. I have a JTS sampler on the way for the P35-177. It has the lowest "best" score at 196.

My almost unused M4 is loosing around 40bar - from 250 to a bit more than 200bar in 24 hours. Is there a way I can check myself what's going on or do I need to send it back?
TIA

Yes. few differnet things u can do. Put a ballon over the barrel to see if it is leaking down the barrel as it will implode the ballon, second thing u can do is fill up a spray bottle with soapy solution and spray it down.. loosing 40bar in 24 hour u will find it. Or just send it in for warr service

There's two different 26mm piston seal designs that Weihrauch uses in their guns and sells as replacements. I don't believe there's different part numbers as they are both interchangeable. Weihrauch has randomly flip flopped between them over the years. One is the one you pictured with the thick lip and the other has a thinner lip. They both work well enough. My gut tells me Weihrauch has two different seal suppliers.
The important part is you got a decent correct seal.

Thanks for the Information. As always We all Gain from it.

The bad part about working with someone elses BW is it will make you want your own.

Factor is an updated design. Hercules is a dated design. I've seen a few reviews and the Factor is well liked. But it is, as you noted, much larger.

We only have the Hercules Bully here in the US. Which is a higher power version of the Hercules.

You may want to look at the Reximex Throne 2 bullpup. Really well reviewed and very good pricing.

Gogun was super easy to work with. I let them know I was having an issue and they said to send it back for repair or a new one! Honestly I think I like the Huggett more but we’ll see for sure when the shadow comes back.

Glad to hear great service from them!

Nice piece of fabrication
I prefer a metal piece over a 3d printed, but i am not nearly talented enough to make one
Looks Great!

Thank you for your openness and tolerance, there is nothing wrong with what you are saying.
But isn't it also nice that my posts here are in line with the forum? Apart from the promotional purpose, I also mainly want to share and discuss with you all so that we can all learn more about each other.
As you can see, I'm just stating the facts for some products and not saying Acecare is the best.

Agreed, open, honest discussion is what we appreciate about this forum, nothing should be taken personally. Opposing perspectives, offered with respect and civility, helps everyone. WM

I got a glass etched 6 x 36 x 56 Spina for $139 plus shipping tax it was 151 total better than the FFP Spina I got.

Nice shot!!

Tigwelder85 · May 12, 2025

Yep got mine back they put a upgraded barrel in it I asked many times did you check the reg question avoided get it back shoots great reg starts to creep so I pull it apart find tons of aluminum shavings in the reg emailed them told them to send me a new reg or new gun but I wasn’t sending anything back until I had something on my hands so now I wait on a new gun it’s not rocket science when a gun shoots different groups at different tank pressures it’s not a barrel issue

IMO, there’s no one gun that will be successful in all of those scenarios, at least no without buying extra barrels and accessories. My suggestion is a RAW BM500 for 25/50 yd competition in .177 cal. For 75/100, that’s open to many options. FX Impact, Red Panda, Skout, RAW HM1000x, FX Panthera or King (same platform), Ghost, you name it in .30 cal,. There is no one tool does it all and does it well. Regardless of what you choose, it’s up to you to make it work. Check out the BR match results and see what the top shooters are using.

The weight of most scopes makes most pistols 50% heavier.

If you're going to handpump then it's best to choose guns that are well suited to it and those are low pressure, small caliber guns that are very efficient. Basically, you want to do as little work per shot as possible. Pumping up to 4500 psi is hard work and bigger pellets use more air for every shot. Pumping up scuba tanks with a hand pump is ridiculous. Sure it's possible and they can take a picture of it, but no one's ever going to actually do it.

I've got three handpumps, but I rarely ever use them. Decades ago, when I first got into PCP's I got a Hill pump. It was a tough, solid pump and I used it without issue to fill my S410E for about a year, but I also happened to get into scuba diving at about that time and pretty soon I had plenty of scuba tanks to fill from. At some point the gauge on it was broken and then I ended up using its fill hose on a scuba tank and the pump got tucked away somewhere and then was forgotten about for decades.

Then at some point I became somewhat obsessed with the idea of a backpacking air rifle and ultimately I decided that the best choice for that was a lightweight PCP combined with a lightweight hand pump and there's only one of those that I am aware of. So I bought a Huben pump and IMO, it's a fantastic pump. It's less than half the weight of most pumps and it pumps up to 5000 psi. It's also not cheap.

Then I bought a used rifle and the deal included a hand pump. It's one of the $50 Amazon variety and it seems to work just fine. They also seem to have a pretty good reputation here and if I were on a budget it would be my choice. They have a variety of names, Four Uncles, Vevor, I'm just going by memory, but I've never heard anyone say any of them suck.

Ultimately, if you stay interested in airguns you're almost certainly going to end up getting a compressor, a SCBA tank or both.

Okay, so it's important to post to find out where customers are actually applying it and how it's being used. Thank you so much for sharing!

I'm still rocking my plain jane Yong Heng from 2017 and I haven't had to take it apart yet with regular oil changes. It's been very reliable!!

My 2017 YH Hardcover without autostop has been filling my three 30 minute SCBA's going on 8 years now without a rebuild. I use ice in the water which keeps the temp below 45C and use Mobil Rarus 827 oil. I have spare parts for when the day comes but (knock on wood) haven't needed them yet.

Did as best I could, ain't a trigger mech by any stretch. Hasn't misfired so far. Thank you!

Airgunoregon · Mar 15, 2025

That's good, we did click on the elevated targets over 15% in the planner, so hopefully it's all good anyway.

Definitely grateful for the upgrades. Worked with Darryl on the purchase. Great sales experience.

I was just confused after looking over the manual as well as watching YT vids. All clear now.

Skout has changed alot since they started in 2022 about...they just keep improving everything and they can make changes "in house" an implement them immediately. It's been really cool to watch over the last couple years. Improve , improve, improve!

Wow great job on first time casting!!!! Hollow points can be tough....I missed a few key details when i started casting..took me a lil bit to figure it out...Give powder coating a try....its pretty easy...it helps with leading for sure...

thanks, i've been trying to inform myself about casting routines and what to watch out for and also what causes what problems, so it was too much of an trial and error process for myself. with the hollowpoints i was actually quite surprized that they dropped so easy. i was expecting worse.

for now i have mostly used lead from recycled projectiles, so the amounts are not that much at this point. i feel powder coating makes more sense when doing it for bigger quantities, so maybe at a later point, when i make a huge batch of ammo. but thanks for the hint.

I have a package in transit from Barstow (socal desert) to Oakland.
400 miles by freeway.
Shipped 3-14, expected delivery 3-17.
It has been "in transit to next facility" since 3-17.
I'm thinking that the tortoise they were using as a courier has died in route.

Well, it finally showed up last night around 7pm. 400 miles and 8 days.
