The water district guy is already hunting them from a boat. They are glad to have the help, Wa law leaves us wide open since they are both invasive and destructive. A hunting license is required, that's it. I hear Thursday may be good weather. If I go W/O the kayak I need a dead nutria retrieval system, while I won't eat them, I will not leave them to rot either. I live here too! Maybe I can modify my drone in a tree retrieval system, a wrist rocket and a big Zebco closed face spinning reel. Shoot weight over tree branch, shake like crazy drone falls out of tree (most of time) need hooks for dead critters.

I've seen remote control boats and ones disguised as ducks for waterfowl retrieval. People will also use a fishing rod with treble hook. Dull the points and close the barbs to help prevent snags.

Finally got mine yesterday. Am really happy with it. I like how it has a lock on it so it won't get bumped and come loose

Order the parts to rebuild it yourself. I did and it's not hard. I also improved the flow of air by porting and polishing the replacement part.

I don’t know about warranty service, but I wouldn’t pay to ship a $30 hand pump. I will get by on it until I get something better.

I would not be averse to another el cheapo pump like that 4 brothers. All I can find after searching is a 4 uncles pump.

The available and affordability of PCP ‘s and equipment has gotten way, way better since I started fiddling around with pellet guns again.

I've noticed the same thing, so I'm looking to jump back in again. These discussions of hand pumps have me interested.

The size of the outlet from the Valve seat into the manifold on the restricted sub 12 .177 is around 1.3mm so as I couldn't match the valve seal contour I just chamfered it and then 2mm opening out to 5mm to get it near the barrel TP which is around 4mm by 6mm also much too large with a fillet across the centre so a compromise for testing, but it works very well!
So may make some other prototypes, but it seems that it's just the area/volume that is causing the FPS problems.

One area of confusion we notice at TopGun-Airguns is a lot of people have a hard time either describing, discerning, or determining various hose connections.
A lot of people get 1/8" vs. 1/4" confused, as well as BSPP/BSPT/NPT.

in order to help the forum members figure what each one looks like, here is a link to a page. Tap on any of the types of connectors, and a picture will show up.
For this to work, you WILL NEED TO choose 40" hose length (it needs that piece of information).

https://www.topgun-airguns.com/product/air-hose/

Let me know if this kind of information is helpful. And, if you know of a particular connector that you would like added, put it down below as a reply.
Thanks for keeping the thread "live" with your feeedback.

Thanks so much for this! Very timely for me, too!
I purchased a small Carette filter from you about 21/2 years ago (you did video with Target Forge on GX CS2) on this. Anyhow, the one way “entrance” valve, from the compressor, at the bottom of the filter is leaking and needs to be replaced. Can you advise what size is needed for this? Thanks in advance for your help!!

What are the best options 25 cal Compact, powerful and quiet pcp todays market? Its should be regulated, magazine and folding buttstock and if possible you can attach bibods and max 1000€ or you could recommend more high end compact guns too!

AEA HP SEMI-AUTO SS 25 cal

There is this aea semi auto used gun, but the barrel does not have muffler thread to be enough quiet? Have some here tuning tips to this gun how to get more power out of it and get it more quiet? Can you order this one different little bit longer barrel where you can but better silencer in europe? Can you get regulators or other tuning parts to this gun? Theres so little info for this gun? This affects to be very good gun for its price but needs to be tuned to get best compact performance out of it?

If here is owners of this gun have you had problems with magazines or other things with this gun and what recommended to to with this gun to get optimal performance out of it to be backyard frendly but still accurate and powerful???

It was in a bag of misc. Crosman parts and it came in handy when I changed out plastic 2240 reciever thinking the Cothran reciever was the ticket. But much to my dismay... hence this post.

scotton · Feb 20, 2025

I think intention is the key here. It is not legal to adjust your butt pad to allow it to rest on your knee or thigh. It is perfectly legal to bring your knee up to support the rifle. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have adjustable hamsters hanging off the front of our rifles.

I usually make a couple trips to the gun range every winter to shoot airguns. Had plans with two other friends, each of us were going to bring a couple of guns.

How cold is to cold?

LOL, I feel your pain. I haven't been out to shoot in 5 weeks, it's either to cold or the snow is so deep I can't get to my range even with a 4-wheeler (range is way off the grid) but, this is what winter should be. Makes you appreciate spring and summer that much more.

Is the barrel parallel to the air cylinder? From the picture it looks like it droops down towards the front. If it is, that is why you are running out of scope adjustment. A "barrel band" that locks the barrel and air cylinder parallell and together would fix this.

I did think of that but from my end it's parrallel the photo just doesn't show it properly.

Only picture I've got in my files is this ... A modified TM
A TM / BM trigger is exactly the same parts but the safety lever is omitted for these Competition gun applications.

A HM if X or otherwise is the same, so remove side cover, pull safety lever off post leaving the lever spring in place and there you have it.

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Yes, it does.

The compressors have handled the larger tanks for over 2 years now.

I wouldn't be to concerned about it.

If the water is filled correctly and no air pockets these compressors really do not get that hot.

When I test them, they are ran close to a constant 3800psi for at least 20 minutes and in that time they really stabilize their temps.

My only guess is the airsoft crowd doesn't like the fill speed... they buy a lot of these, and other compressors. They will take their large tanks down to a couple hundred pounds before a refill. The K5-1 or 2 would make much more sense for them.

Thank you for the info!

Update
The pressure release valve is back together, and the CS-3 is running fine.
With a deadhead in the line, I incrementally increased pressure working my way up to 4000psi to ensure it would not release prematurely.
I then pushed the gauge to 5K and the valve did still not release
Considering that this machine never sees more 3600psi (250Bar) maximum, I'm not concerned.
But I am curious to know if there is a good way to test the limits of the valve.

Thanks again @1900colt .

Edward

The limit is endless, completely screwed down and it will never vent. If you're using 3600psi max, set it to start venting just above that, say 3800... and it will keep your pressure from getting way to high. You'll still have the burst disk protection as well, but that will be significantly higher as the compressor is designed for 4500psi use

I do agree wholeheartedly for LRF. However, I have to respectfully disagree with you on the digital scopes. I have not found a digital scope, which could rival a Swarovski or Zeiss (or Kahles or …). Their views become pixelated when zoomed in.

Unfortunately, Swarovski/Zeiss/… don’t have a scope with a range finder for air gunning (the Swarovski dS has an integrated range finder but its parallax correction starts from 50 meters).
