I’ll sure try to test and will share . At my age I can’t waste time! Charlescurious how you like the two colts.. especially comparing the John Wayne to the Schofield.. interested in hearing about the 1911 too.. good bad whatever you think.. plinking for me is empty tin food cans..on the 1911 does it have a follower lock open for fighting with the tiny BB loading?
I suppose while you are replying, maybe what you think about the crossman 357 as well.. nice selection.
your welcome to PM me if you want

I tried some new pellets in the rifle checked to make sure the gauge on the rifle was accurate (had to tweak my chronograph as well rifle does still shoot a tad low and slower for the first 15 shots or so then evens out and stays around 880 ish I’ll need to look at the regulator eventually most likely but for now I’m happy. Will probably try some different slugs (20 grain and bellow) and see how they work for now I’m sticking with the 18 grain jsb/fx pelletsTold ya! Great guns! What happened with your FPS problem you posted about yesterday? I assume you got it figured out judging by your targets.
It might help others if you'd post the remedy for yesterday's FPS problem (on the fps post, of course).
I only do 1 cup of Java juice in the morning to kick start things.
I am amazed by the people that drink that all day, or even worse the people that drink the caffeinated soft drinks all day.
I was smiling about the noise. I use my CS3 at the range and have only had one noise complaint, from a guy who was shooting a .308 Winchester. He complained about the compressor noise, and I asked if he was serious. The other shooters all turned their heads and started laughing at the incredulity. The .308 shooter clued in and also laughed.I like both my bottle and GX CS2. The CS2 takes up less room so it is easier to use with the gun still on the bench. Usually I would carry the gun to the bottle but might carry the CS2 to the gun. The CS2 needs about 3 minutes to fill my little guns which is at least 2 minutes longer than my bottle but I can fill magazines while the CS2 works. The CS2 makes more noise but it isn't really loud. If you want the least cost option I would just get the little CS2. If you can afford both I see advantages to a bottle and compressor to fill it. But a small portable compressor doesn't give up a lot in functionality. I see it as a good do-it-all solution. My YH + bottle did what I needed but I don't see trying to travel by air with either of them. I think I could with the CS2.
It was a great experience the bear is mounted on my wall so I’m reminded of the hunt often!Sounds like a heck of a time Chad!
They are…. INDOORS or short range like 50Y. You never know outdoors if the slightest puff of wind could cause instability. I think Joe and his Mora are doing great, but let’s see how they do real world (PAC or EBR) before we get too excited.
Absolutely. Wind introduces an entirely different dynamic. The general rule Ive always followed is the higher the wind, the lower the speed should be.
Exactly right. This is great advice.Watch out for the barrel block screws in fine thread and stripping like coyote said. A torque screwdriver is almost a must, especially if you ar fighting a barrel tensioner, M3 and older top strap and rail alignment can be a pain in you shoot longer ranges and it's slightly out of alignment. I just replaced mine with a 1 piece top rail and re machined my trigger block for a larger screw after making a 300 dollar lapse in awareness of my ability to spin an Allen key.
If you don't screw those up like I did, the rebuilds are cake and the hammer weight would be the only pain. If you 3d print it gets marginally easier with the file for that special little tool for the valve rod being available free online, just find some smooth jaw pliers or modify vice grips per Ernest rowes recommendation.
The impact is an in depth teardown that seems scary but isn't. It's not as bad an an improperly deburred mrod tube before you figure out what is cutting all your orings.
Beautiful work, a truly gifted craftsman!Made a brake for the HW30 I’m putting together. Turned it on the lathe and set it up on the mill with a spin indexer to drill 20 holes in it. Looks cool. I guess. Gave it a simulated target crown.
I think I need a black pistol grip cap? I decided on a recoil pad. Brown and black 1/2” thick. No white spacers on this.View attachment 557138View attachment 557137

It does have a shine to it, so it looks like SUB MOA did polish it. Black or blued would look really good too.I asked Darren at AOA, he said that it is just steel (not stainless) it comes with a coating of silicone grease, but that it would need to be oiled/etc. To be maintained.
I am debating between bluing or painting mine once I get it.
I did see pics of one that had been painted black and it looked good.
That will be a sweet Rifle And short for non bully.A Puncher Mega Mini/carbine?. I guess that’s what you’d call it lol. He takes parts from a couple different guns. End up with a Puncher Mega stock with a barrel/tube barely longer than the stock. It’ll be like 35” w/ mod which is awesome for non bullpup.
It’s going to make the ultimate woods walker or truck gun. Can’t wait to get it. Should be done soon.

yes. the accuracy is very surprising. drt myna bird at 92 yards about 1 hour agoAbsolutely. I still love that gun. I think you'll find the level of accuracy surprising.
Almost forgot, I'm using that same setup for Diablo Exact Jumbo Monster 25.39gr pellets. These I shoot at 65yds though with similar results.Has anyone tried the AEA .22 38.6gr out of a DRS Pro? I bought a tin to try them out but I do want to reinvent the wheel if someone has already found a good speed for the best accuracy.
