Here is where you pew pew from

A fellow airgunner was kind enough to gift me a L-E-M mould in .22. I finally figured out where a tin of slugs came from after laying around for 20 years.
I cast a few myself, and they are in the 20 - 22gr. range.
As for the dimensions, they range from .217 - .223 as cast.
Decided to size a few samples from the tin in .2173, and distribute to a few of my customers.
This is by far the most difficult mould to work with, as there is no sprue cut-off.
Need to be tested in a PCP 22 - 35 FPE range.

The axel .

Just picked up a 30cal 700MM FX King and I'm looking for some recommended tunes for pellets and slugs. I'm going to start with JSB 44.75 and 50.15 gr pellets, Zan 56 gr pellets and Zan 59 gr slugs.
Any and all recommendations will be appreciated.

It is very simple to do and once you do it once you will get it.

950 Fps (Tony at Talon Tunes installed the super powerful plenum).

This rifle gives 28 regulated shots per fill. I would like the shot count could be 80. Leopard with a bottle should give those 80 shots per fill.

More like 160 shots with 25gr going 930fps with the 600mm

Supposed to be a low wind evening tomorrow, so I should be able to sight in a few airguns. Ran two of them over the chrony tonight so I can work up a starting point in chairgun.

As a follow up to my post above, CTAirgunner had sent me a link to a company that sells folding adapters for the MA2. I have one coming, and will follow up later with how that goes.

Folding shoulder rest adapter for Macavity MA2

This folding stock adapter is a great tactical upgrade for your MA2. It makes the MA2 much more compact for carrying or transporting.

UPDATE: If you have a Genesis pre-production model, this folding stock adapter might not work for you. It definitely did not work for me. I sent Terminator a picture of my stock and they said the production models have much more threading than mine has. The gamble of being an early adopter.

My first Impact the M1 was $2000. in reality they haven't gone up much in 10 years if you compare them to other top tier brands.

Good i got some 30 grain slugs to try. Those 31 grain aea slugs are good though they are new not pellets.

And I’m sorry I missed where you said slugs haha… honestly it shoots anything from 30-40 in my experience. 37gr is the most I would recommend.. but as a hunter I find that the gun really shines with the 30-33gr slugs going real fast.

Doesn't need to be super tight either.

Clever concept and solid execution (in both meanings of "execution")! We had a pack rat infestation in the crawl space at a previous home. What a nightmare. Huge piles of scat and some carcasses ruining the scrap lumber and other items the builder/owner had stored in there.

No more crawl spaces for us, but I am taking screen shots of your system and its description in case vermin proliferate here. Thank you for the post.

Thanks! This system would’ve worked well using some of that scrap lumber to build it! Kind of “poetic justice.”

Recently degassed my Huben GK one. I feel like I’m losing my mind as I can’t seem to reassemble these parts. Any advice from any GK one owners would be helpful.
thank you!
Mark.

Cool patina on that one

jesus guys, the barrel has adjustment nuts for a reason. when the barrel is snug to the shell holder, it doesnt break. ive fired at least 50 rounds through the original 2 that came with mine. i also 3d printed my own (which are one time use and break every single shot) and the gun still fires reliably. id say its a stretch to claim the gun is defective and dangerous, its supposed to shoot things and youre damn sure supposed to be clear of the barrel when it does, so im not sure what the danger was - that plastic piece wasnt flying backwards. the seller was 100% correct and would have been stuck trying to sell a used gun because hes right, you didnt know what you were doing.

This is the original valve in my delta wolf the new ultra flow has a larger balancing end on the poppet valve

I love the idea of some big bores being regulated but when competing they should be in different classes

Years ago I almost purchased a pb version, however I don’t think it would as been as much fun as this one. It just feels like a real gun.

interesting looking pistol

_Follow-up on Goliath_
After disassembling the gun once more, I clamped the tube vertically in a drill press. Properly lined up the transfer port, and proceeded to enlarge the hole. To reach the port size of 3.5mm as advised by A.G.R., two different drill bit sizes were used. To be precise, the final port size now measures 3.53mm. There was a small burr left at the edge of the hole on the piston side. Used a tapered diamond dremel bit inserted into a wooden dowel rod and chamfered the hole slightly to remove it.



Lubed the piston seal and skirt as before, but for the sake of this experiment, nothing else was changed.
The results were both surprising and disappointing. Only a gain of 9 fps with the JSB Kings.
Before_ JSB Exact King .25 ...........25.39gr............547fps.........16.87fpe
After_ JSB Exact King .25 ...........25.39gr............556fps.........17.43fpe

In the meantime, I'd ordered some H&N FTT pellets to test. They fit tighter than the JSBs, but yielded better numbers than the heavier pellet.
H&N FTT............................20.06gr.................653fps.........18.82fpe

Interesting to note: the gun doesn't seem as loud now. I almost needed ear plugs before, but now it's better. Figure that one out.

July 18-20th, come join us at Northeast Ohio Airgunners for our annual Grand Prix.

We hope to see you there!

Going to try this 9x1x60 mm spring https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LV363YZ

2-3 week ship time tho. SAE equivalent or cutting down a long spring might be quicker. 60mm is unusually long, most options end at 50mm.

2-3 week I've found usually means shipping from China and is cheaper on AliExpress.

There are a lot of various springs on AliExpress. I have a lot of poppet hammer springs, AirForce hammer springs and my collection of Hatsan semiauto return springs.

So this weekend my company along with @PalmBeachAirguns were part of the Florida Outdoors Expo. Honestly it was a great time, with great food and tons of great vendors. But PBA was doing a giveaway (still is) for a RAW HM1000 Mini. It's a package value of $1900.


You can still sign up using this link, and you may be able to find a QR code through their instagram. Full transparency, if y'all sign up with this link I get an entry for everyone, hence why I'm mentioning using the QR code.

Thank you all for your information.

I do like how some suggested to use a .22 with slugs to get the added energy, seeing as I have an Impact M3 .22 I am going to give it a try.

In the meantime I believe a .25 is getting ordered. I am sure one of each will be in the safe, again thank you for your input and good shooting.

your winning ,nice stock.
what do you like better the mdt on the pro or this setup?

Click to expand...

I have never seen a Delta Force in person, but my DRS MDT ACC Elite Chassis is Awesome! The fit and finish is perfect or better.

I would like some clarification about how these work. Do they preserve the original shape of the pellet but just change the outside diameter somehow? Because pellets come in a wide variety of shapes.
