Squirt a little soapy water where you think it might be leaking and see if any air bubbles occur. If they do, you’ve located the problem.

I'd like to mention that if the diopter isn't adjusted perfectly for each individual's eyes and special care isn't taken to also adjust focus perfectly that one will not be able to judge IQ fairly between scopes.

Absolutely an issue, luckily I was able to mess with everything and nobody cared...

I just go out to Midway and pick them up.

25" barreled EPOCH with original BR butt assembly is @ 34 1/2" And with the EVO type pad is @ 34 1/4"

But it does not work. No difference before and after. Going to have to tear it down and see if i can enlarge the port. May have to have a new port fabricated. High pressure so the port size might be small for a reason.

Put essentially the same setup on my Evanix .30 Sniper X2 and was able to reduce regulator pressure 500PSI for the same 850FPS.

Well, no adding plenum to a G30.
That little 1mm hole makes a right turn in the block. The gun has a small plenum and given it is a poppet valve gun it is probably all that is useful. I can't imagine why it is so small.

great day for all shooters .

Thx! You saved me some coin. The price sounded great, though.

Glad I could help! Now to try the 18gr Apolos lol

That barrel is terrible....You can buy a Green Mountain Barrel or a TJ barrel liner..They arent too expensive $100.00 to $200.00 for a blank.

Tommy,

I have not tried any of the pellets you mention but I did try 18 grain and 25.4 grain JSBs and they were not close to the accuracy I get with the H&N.

I cannot increase the velocity significantly because of the hammer spring. It is close to max'd out. I'd like to at least try the H&N pellets at 880 fps but I cannot get there. I am messing with a reduced size poppet in my 25 caliber but I have not gotten it to increase velocity. I did not check the stem protrusion back towards the hammer, however, and that might get it working. If I ever get it working on the 25 maybe I will try it on the 22. But I am pretty happy with my low 30 fpe 22 that occasionally will give me a 200. Air capacity is also limited and with it's current tune my P35-22 will give me a target even if the bottle will only give me a 3200 psi fill or so with a few sighters but if I increase power I might tight on shooting targets on one fill when the bottle gets low. But for me seeing what I can do is just part of the fun.

The deal with the compressor can’t be beat.

OP here...just installed in my 2007 RWS Diana 48, a Vortek PG4 Delrin-Glide Lite Silent Tune Kit with optional new Diana 28mm Moly Piston Seal and Diana 48 Breech Seal....all as a package for $103.50us; as DesertSilver did above in post #7. Wish I had done this long ago...not difficult at all; in fact much easier than I originally thought! The seals fit perfectly.

Have to say that cocking the side lever is so much easier and very, very smooth. Cut down the decibels considerably...very quiet...almost like a Red Ryder BB gun! Highly recommended!!! I used the enclosed Vortek grease as stated in the instructions for the kit and black moly grease on other parts. When I spoke with Vortek, they said not a problem using both types of grease.

17 oz. I am in !

The re-blue looks good! The wood on your stock is really nice too!

Yeah you are. I just checked your website. You gots LOTS of cool new stuffs.
I'm Steve, (I had an order # 8518)

I'm very happy with the Harpoon with the Texoma slug holders.
I 've been watching for a full magnum conversion kit.(I know you have the components individually)

Maybe some 11" magnum 12 ga barrels with 4 cartridges and 12 ga slug holders.
& some misc sabot shots & fun stuffs. arrows...

When are you going to make cartridges?

Click to expand...

I've got 7" 72 caliber magnum barrels on the way, a new type of barrel that I think people will love, and finally, I am beginning to work on stainless steel air cartridges to hold a bit more pressure.

This month's field target course had many lanes that were shot from the ravine with several shots being uphill shots. There wasn't much wind in the morning and only later in the day the wind would pick up for a few minutes then lull, certainly less wind than we usually experience.

The AAFTA three course average difficulty was 28.9 (Moderate) and the individual course section had the following average difficulties (not including environmental factors):

• Blue - 29.7 (moderate)
• Green - 27.7 (moderate)
• Red - 29.4 (moderate)

Scores - Each course is a possible 20, and the 3 course total is of a possible 60. Ties are not broken.


Only two silhouette shooters for score this month, both shot standing for score.

Have not tried them at 100. BTW just sold the Uragan last night

Update, they worked great… outperformed my mkI’s out to 60 yards by a large margin. Somehow the mkI’s are pellet on pellet out to 40y but scatter to 1+ inch at 60… looks like I was not at my best today as the slugs that performed half inch at 60 last week spread to an inch today

If I remember correctly the MKII's have the deeper skirt. I think that helps with the long range stability somehow. My .25 loves em. Glad they worked!

It seems hickmicro are soon to release a customised airgun specific sight. Does anyone know the brand or what you think this new product will be like?

I think here in USA AGM is selling a LRF 4k scope, pretty similiar.. DNT Zulus are cheaper but HD...There are soo many options in digital night vision right now..Its hard to keep up

The translucent beads turn green when they are wet, so you are doing good. You can reuse the beads by putting them in the oven and drying them out. I run mine about once a week in climate controlled environment and rarely need to dry them out.

Don’t forget, there are screws or bolts that hold the rings to the base/receiver and screws that clamp the rings together, and they have different torque values and vary by ring manufacturer. The ring top screws might be 20 inch-pounds, but the bases could be in the 30-40 range depending on model and manufacturer

I was thinking about upgrading the 45

Prices have really come down. I got one last Black Friday for about $300. They have cheaper ones but I wanted more dependable. Works great.

Hard to believe the Gen two has German glass for the price they are asking for…

While not a pcp, I believe that the Diana trailscout would work for only shooting ~200 shots a year.

Diana Trailscout CO2 Air Rifle | Pyramyd AIR

We've got a great price on the Diana Trailscout CO2 Air Rifle. Get a great price and expert advice at Pyramyd for your next outdoor adventure!

Its a co2 rifle and very light. It takes 3 co2 cartridges, but you can use 1,2, or 3 by replacing empty ones in place of the new ones. This way you can shoot off some shots and not waste 3 co2's at once. No pump required.

Click to expand...

I have one of these and while it is accurate and gets a lot of shots on those three CO2 cartridges (I get 30 per loaded cartridge in .22), it leaks down gas overnight or within a week. The design is that the whole CO2 cartridge tube fills with gas and that o-ring on the tube cap at the end just won't hold it all in for long. So it's a great hunter and plinker for when _you_ want to shoot but not good for a sudden "honey, there is a rabbit in the garden". By the time it's gassed and ready the rabbit is gone. The Chaser series is by the same manufacturer but skeletally light, doesn't leak gas (one cartridge sealed at the tip of the cartridge), and in long-barrel rifle configuration in .22 it would have enough oomph for a rabbit.

+1 on the Airforce.

Late as well, but managed to pick up a 2240 back when Amazon marked them down to $45. It was shipped in a cardboard box, rather than a plastic clam shell. A box is so much nicer than those plastic clam shells.

I made my own SSG and installed it. You get a decent amount of shots per cartridge, due to not burping out gas after the projectile has left the barrel. Need to get a steel breech for it, or something like that. The front sight is crooked, seems they installed the barrel off kilter. (Flat in the barrel was not installed level.). Not a big deal, but kind of annoying. Machined a moderator adapter to tone it down slightly, it's quite civil now.
