I recently sent a QB57 out to it's new owner. It had the original plastic case where the stock and barrel assemblies are separate. I sent it USPS for just under $20.
Size matters.

This post got me curious about different BCs because it seems to be a hot topic these days . I looked Hard Air and they did some in depth testing. I only shoot .177 and .22 cals . One that really stood out in .22 cal was the 31gr Altaros slugs with a BC of .121 going 765 fps . I guess they hold a 1400 yard target record also . I mainly use 18gr and 25.39 grain pellets in .22 cal and the 25s seem to have a decent BC . In .177 I mostly use KOs with a .047 BC and they do not disappoint expanding around .25-.35" in squirrels at around 30 yards at 880 fps . I did find a chart another member posted in regards to JSB pellets that I thought was interesting.

Slugs like to run fast in general. If they are all over the place at 905 fps, them bump it up to 950 or higher. If it doesn't work at those speeds then it's not for your air gun.

Hello thanks

I have been boosting the fx to over his max 1050 fps butt become even worse I have been trying different brands en weights butt no good results unfortunately in the beginning I head the problem with clipping in the silencer maybe it’s the liner what not good

Looks like after searching over the internet on other sites, I believe, I can use the following Moly on the gun.

Still looking for opinions on the Clenzoil Silicon Lubricant, has anyone use it on a Crosman PCP 1701P Pistol?

Thanks and regards.

I wouldn't worry about it. I usually space my rear ring with 2-3 pop can spacers or use Burris Signature Zee rings. I have 4 AEA rifles and some require spacing and some do not. Yours sounds OK to me.

I am not fond of Umarex but their Zelos (SnowPeak M60) is pretty darn good for the price point. You can find them for about $425 at some websites. You can use the funds you save and upgrade the Zelos to a bottle version for more shots for about $150 at air gun archery fun.

Air Venturi Avenge and the Avenge-X are solid air guns too. I personally haven't shot one but I have heard great things about them.

My Avenge-X is laser accurate out to 40 yards. The Zelos bottle upgrade is an awesome and easy to install upgrade as well. Got the 5L carbon fiber bottle and valve from Wes at AAF and couldn't be happier!

Typical of many such posts, the sum total of the stated requisites often equals zero. But in this case, if the Supercharger is scope-able and capable of 1" at 10 meters in human hands, is the only choice that meets your requisites.

Ehh I prefer the probe. More streamlined look. I don't really like the front facing fill nipple

On the BSA the factory hide filler cap still screws on

Making the foster fill a real sleeper

Grease pots are the same. Earlier compressors had a poor rubber diaphragm material that would expand over time.

New ones are a different material and do not expand, they are available from GX

My early model CS4 the grease pot is great. The K2 one of the pots were sucking the grease like mad., so I made these. I'll probably order a few rubber discs just to have on hand. Thanks for all the info you post on the GX compressors.

I did a little googling and I think I found what Target Forge used. If you search Amazon for a 18V to 12V step down converter I think you will find them. The good news is some even had the battery dock too and were only about $25. The bad news is the biggest I saw was only rated for 240W. That would probably be fine on the GX-CS2 but you'd probably blow the fuse with a 350W CS4.

Searched a little more and found a 30A, 360W one on Alliexpress for about $25 delivered.

I also found what I call the battery dock on Amazon with a 30A fuse for $10. So for about $35 it seems you could do this. I checked out the watts for some 18V tools and it can be over 1000W so a 350W CS4 should be a fairly light load for the battery.

That's is reasonable

@JaceSpace1369 I'm coming to Florida next month where are you. This time I'm coming to the east coast to meet a friend I haven't seen in years and we're going to go hunting. If you want shoot me a PM with your info your Hunt is reasonably priced

Dairyboy · Feb 19, 2025

In my research I found that the triggers are the same, the valve and reg are the same, cocking is even smoother than the Gen1s and POI stability seems the same. As far as the chokeless barrel I'm not worried about it with pellets. Have had great success with them in the past. Either way I will be putting it through it's paces hopefully by tomorrow evening

Maybe put a blurb on the Benchrest forum...since this is a benchrest 200 yd gun your talking about.

That’s about all you can expect with short barrel and small air tube even with the ports enlarged to the max.

I'd start doing the check in, not sure how I got started with them

steve-l · Feb 21, 2025

Just a note to the OP from personal experience of mounting a laser on a pistol. The only advantage of using one is short distance shooting. In that role the closer the beam is to the barrel center the more useful it is. The further the beam is from the barrel center, the more hold over/hold under is required. Mounting a laser at the bottom of the air tube on a GK1 will not be very effective. The PP700 SA has a milled dovetail on the side of the shroud. Using that as a mounting point allowed a 1/2" offset left. Anything more than that is problematic when shooting at a mouse size target. Jus saying.

Again thanks for all input guys

Very nice! I started my airgun journey around 2019 with a Origin and now have a FX Panthera along with a few others.

What do you think of each so far? I also found out that I need an extended quick connect to fill the gun easily. My fingers are far too large to grab it easily.

I hit up the canal east of Everglades saw about 10 only got a shot on 2 and I killed 1. Do you know about the Matlcha Pass Aquatic Preserve?

Keep an eye out for the dens, some really good hot spots around them. Time of day will also play a big role. They aren't like the golf course iguanas, in that area it doesn't take much for them to hide/run.

I've been fishing off the bridge up there, but never for work. I try not to go more North than Estero.

Some of us are pragmatic.

COULD I blow a whole bunch of money and turn my very pedestrian GMC 1500 into a Baja 500 rig? Yes, but it would certainly be the hard and expensive way to go about it, and I still would be forcing a square peg in a round hole. If I truly had a burning desire to race in the Baja 500 there are better ways to go about equipping myself to do so.

For rimfire power levels and BC, a rimfire is the path of least resistance.

I didn't mention it in my previous post here, but volume shooting is another reason I love airguns. If you're buying high BC slugs you're talking $/shot. And if you're rolling your own you're talking time/shot. And "time is money."

To do it with an airgun just cuz you can? Sure. Knock yourself out.

The air gun slugs below are top of the line 150gr, 100 ct are still a lot cheaper then 150gr firearm of the same quality, 0 moa at 100 yards 2, 2 shot groups, the tape on the one ( 2nd pic) was just to mark the shot. Eyes are old,lol
