When shooting a springer I always break the barrel, load a pellet then fully cock the gun. Mark

I have recently adopted this procedure as well. While I’ve never had an accident with an air rifle (notice I included “air” in my description

), I’d like to eliminate any user error where I can!

I usually do not shoot in 20 MPH and gusts , guess i will have to try some days like that .

I don’t get pick what day I get to shoot in according to the weather. If there’s a match and I’m off work, I’m going no matter what the weather is like.

No need for pm. I have no problem posting here when a company 100% deserves it. Here is one example. If you search here on AGN there are many examples of people with the exact same experience. I emailed them a few years ago about a maverick chassis. I forget the exacts as it was so long ago but the email response was flat out rude.

Kraford & Lypt 's unresponsiveness

Does anyone know if Krafford & Lypt is still in business? Last January I chose to continue buying products made by K&L ; this time, directly from them, a USA made a Gen 4 extended rail trigger guard for FX's M4. Much to my regret the magnetic/ aluminum foster fill port cover came...

that has been very common. Months upon months waiting for a product with little to no communication. Now in fairness what I have seen from them is good stuff and they do eventually make it. Just keep in mind you probably will wait a very very long time.

Also, the angled accessory has had issues with leaks and “fitting” properly in a carry case……expensive way to see your guage!

Thanks. I didn’t know about the leaks.

Mine is in medium rings on the rail works fine for me.

The industry’s leading aftermarket airgun accessory provider delivers a game-changing solution for FX DRS magazine loading.

STUD, the largest aftermarket supplier of premium airgun loading systems, is proud to announce the release of its new FX DRS Magazine, Feeder, and Loader system. This complete solution is purpose-built to address one of the most persistent complaints from the airgun community: the difficult and awkward loading process of factory FX DRS magazines.

Developed in direct response to user feedback, the STUD system completely reimagines the loading experience. The newly designed STUD magazine features a proprietary magnetic lid, offering quick removal and full access to the front of the magazine—eliminating the obstructions caused by the factory’s rotating locking mechanism. As with all STUD magazines, it also includes a precision roller bearing for smooth rotor rotation and accurate pellet-to-barrel alignment.

For maximum convenience, STUD’s industry-leading Feeder and Loader are available as part of a bundled system. This streamlined setup allows users to sort pellets using the Feeder, transfer them into one of four included Loaders, and quickly fill magazines with minimal handling—ensuring speed, consistency, and cleaner loading.

“This system was built in direct response to what our customers told us they needed,” said Doug Hepler, CEO at STUD. “It eliminates the frustrations of the factory design and delivers a fast, precise, and hassle-free loading experience. We believe it sets a new standard for FX DRS users.”

The STUD FX DRS Magazine/Feeder/Loader bundle is now available for purchase via STUD’s official website and authorized distributors.

I'm gonna add a full shroud to it but there will be no barrel band

@thammer you said “barrel.” I misread what you wrote. Apologies.

The new 8-shot repeating Redback airbow by FX has a regulator and the typical FX smart tune controls.
So the power on that one, unlike (most/all?) other dedicated airbows, can be adjusted from lower, quieter ~7fpe up to a very loud 100+fpe.

A different approach would be to use Air Venturi Air Bolts in an adjustable power, large bore air rifle. There again, the sound level can only be lowered by lowering the power level. At least the vanes on the bolts wouldn't pass through a regular moderator.

The FX Redback mentioned above uses vaneless bolts. So in theory those could be fired through a regular ~.35 cal moderator.
But the 8-shot barrel carrier on the Redback rotates a new barrel into position with each shot.

A 3" ID PVC tube fits snugly over the front of the Redback and could be used to make a simple and modestly effective shroud since there aren't any vanes on those bolts. Gogun.co has a shorter version of the FX Redback (maybe 32" long?) which shoots 12" vaneless bolts up to about 80fpe. It is more than loud enough to startle an animal on the 1st shot so I'm not sure if anyone would actually use all 8 shots in a hunting situation. Gogun markets their products for general use in firearm restricted areas. I don't know offhand if other airbow models use vaneless bolts which could be easily moderated with a simple shroud.

I like the pvc idea alot wish there was a thinner pvc like 3" plastic electric conduit piping or something

The Bisley pad has been a staple choice for many years. R1lover has done a beautiful job installing them on many HW's - here is his excellent detailed guide on how to do it:

How I Install A Bisley Adjustable Butt Pad - 24 photos

Been showing these adjustable butt pads on my guns for a few years now and often get questions about how I install them so thought I'd finally elaborate! This is how I measure, grind and install Bisley adjustable butt pads. 1. Brand new Bisley adjustable butt pad assembly is comprised of a...

Airforce Texan, Texan SS or Texan LSS hammer spring install and trigger reset

Yes sir. I use that video every time I take it apart. It was a life saver. Just wish I listened closer to the part about stripping the screws. Expensive mistake but made a point and I won’t do it again. My main part of this question was about the innards of the tube. But it was an easy swap. But I did also have to replace the power wheel also as it got stuck. Many lessons learned.

I see posts with the 25” Lother Walther barrel shooting Altaros slugs well. Curious what slugs guys are using for shooting critters with?

These two groups were with Zan 28gr HP slugs out of my EVO today at 870fps and at 100Y. Wind was 4-7 mph from 10 oclock. A tad over and inch but vertical was pretty good. I have the 15.75" twist with 25" LW barrel.

Soo,in my other thread about my fx m3 and the stripped power block hole that made me disgusted and I stopped shooting for a year or so,let me tell you a little story about today.
I was mowing the yard and noticed that a shingle on the roof was in need of repair so I decided I would run to the Home Depot and get me some sealer for the roof to tack the shingle down better.I jumped in the car and off I went, while I was looking for sealer I passed the nuts and bolts isle and I thought to myself wouldn't it be funny if the power block wasn't stripped but rather the socket head bolt was the issue.I used my phone while standing in front of the nuts and bolts cases to find a schematic of the m3 for the bolt size ,m3x8 if I remember correctly and I purchased a 3 pack of them!
I finally got back to the house ,got the m3 back out and guess what?,the new bolt threaded right up without issue!!!
I just sort of stared at it in disbelief, the wife asked me if it fixed it and all I could say was(I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT)!
LOL so here it's been a year or so being upset over something that was actually nothing but a faulty bolt but it had me thinking I screwed up a 2k plus airgun.
The old bolts thread width was narrow compared to the new bolt,like it was a m2 or 2.5 and not a true m3 if that makes any sense? Lol.
I now feel better but at the same time ashamed that I didn't see the issue over a year ago,lol live and learn.
MAN IM GETTING OLD

Don't feel too bad, tho mine wasn't as expensive, I felt pretty damn dumb at 1 point too. I have an Accutac Bipod that somehow I lost the damn screw that locks in the pan function. While cleaning out the back of my truck 1 day, i ran across a small bag of screws and washers left over from a project a couple of years ago and thought,.....no f'ing way will this fit my bipod. Low and behold it was the exact same size AND length I needed all along...(about 7 months)......needless to say, I'm happier than a pig in.....well you know! Lol

I’m thinking under the bottle. Not sure if that’s feasible but maybe?

What should I look for when changing the Spring?

Arkansas_Airgunner · Apr 29, 2025

Eagle Vision adjustable Rings and bases are very good ( I own several), as are the Monstrum adjustable rings ( have 2 sets), then if your pockets are deep enough and you intend on using the most out of your scope, then you could also look into a Heritage Arms Coldshot Base (I have one in 300 MOA).....Do I NEED that much angle, NO. But its nice knowing that if I want to reach out there and tickle something, I have the equipment to help me get there.

igolfat8 · May 22, 2025

The more I practice the luckierI get. I practice at least 8 hours a week and shoot N50 matches 2X a month. I practice more at 50Y since that is what I like to shoot most. 100Y is a challenge for me but I only shoot it occasionally and since PAC is coming up I have added 100Y into my practice routine. I don’t have any unrealistic expectations other than to have fun and not finish dead last.

IHatePaper · Apr 28, 2025

I’ve been having good luck shooting Daystate Howler 12.6gn around 900fps at 110bar, unsure which hammer spring I’m running - 4/5 within 1” @ 100 yds. Needs more experimenting but I’m feeling more confident shooting past 50yds.

bigHUN · Apr 28, 2025

If you decide to put back the original "spool"....
My MK2 from 2020 with over 20K shots in it, I did not replace the Reg all parts still the original, but polish the front face on both parts to mirror finish, only to smoothen the indent.
No leak and no Reg creep.
I don't buy new again and again, I like to fix these things
