For whatever it's worth I have a Tx200, 300s, LGU, 2-D75s and the best pellet shooting 20m and 25yd groups indoors is the JSB 4.52.Close second in several of these is the Air Arms 8.4. The crazy thing to me about head size preference is the total lack of quality control or consistency on head size of any and all the pellets I have checked. If I sort aby weight and head size at time groups may be marginally tighter but its a tiny bit and not always. I gave up. l shoot out of the tin.My time is worth more than sorting out the really crazy occasional pellet.

Yes I shoot from the tin also, way to much work for the results.

It would be of benefit to search for an in-depth spreadsheet by Matthias (Jungleshooter) as he has done a TON of research on scopes or all makes/styles.
It is easy to read and understand.
Not sure why it's not a sticky, but whatever....
It's from 2020, but still has relevance, plus, you could also contact Matthias via PM.

In that your gun case that is an open cell foam.
Protective oils only won't save you from moisture. You will need to replace to a closed cell foam as well, or remove the rifle from that case.

Cant the bottle guard be removed?

I don't think there are a lot of issues but I don't want to be part of one. I also don't know how many issues it will take before there are more rules limiting what we can do with our airguns. If you only shoot at things on the ground I think you are pretty safe regardless of the projectile and power level. But if you shoot at things up in trees, I am sure you need to pay attention to what is behind your target and I think you should use the lowest power and worst bc that will work. The big issue is when you miss. Slugs will carry significantly further potentially something you did not intend to harm.

Battery operated ? what is the noise level ?

Yes like airsoft guns, uses a 11.1 v battery. You can put in larger batteries to increase shot count from the factory batteries. I have not seen how many shots per charge on the Barra. The Umarex AER16 says 650 per charge. Hard to tell from videos but Pyramid says sound level 3. Mark

Nice piece! I heard in some circumstances, these Japanese copies are better then the originals.

At this point in my life, nearly all the machining projects are One Off's ... my sketch blueprints are scribbled onto my electronic note tablet ... once done push refresh button and Presto all gone.

Back in the day before all these parts were available, we would Dremel our own transfer ports. made them oval so the pellets would slide across without damage. Worked well on the Impact M1 .25

After 5 days of rain i finely made it up to the range. Today it was sunny and 70

I had the Texan .308 out this time with BARS 149.5gr FN- BT 3400 psi,. First, triangle 140-yard White smaller target is a 4 inch and at 140 yards and the other is a 8 inches just to show how hard they were hitting (990 fps) Last target, the red long cylinder is 180 yards. I'm not a precision shooter just a hunter,

Well I began mainly purging the compressor using a likely similar complex algorithmic formula…..feedback from my eyeballs.

Wow, you stumbled upon it too? Dude, we should get together and start an Enterprise!

Hobbyman2007, I think it would be extremely unlikely that aluminum drive gear is unique to the Shoebox. Have you looked on places like McMaster Carr?

AEA is not a scam they are good people, i bought my M 50 directly from them and they gave me a good deal and threw in a free folding stock. Im referring to a third party vender who created a modification for the m 50, took. Lot of orders when supply was out, but never came back with it and went out of business apparently.

I ordered their Harpoon on the 9th of March, & they won't respond to emails, & their number is out of service. Go on their website & check it out for yourself.

irritated by repeat questions

Well it is not something that instantly throw you into a good mood, but i also have to play it real and say that i am personally absolutely not good at using the search function on forums.
To offset that i have a quite strong " figure it out yourself" genome, though it is more challenged now since i do no longer use google search that the way i see it is still superior to the search engine i use these days as aside for youtube i can not use google products, and i need professional help to get off youtube.

Anyway on another forum i frequent i have answered the same question many - MANY times in the past 10 - 15 years, but i only blame myself that i do not bookmark some of these replies or search them out with the search function.

And so, i write a wall of information again and again about the same, only spiced up some with newer information and technologies that are available now.

Aside for sitting on my ass and shoot, helping other people is just about the only joy i have in life. So i gladly do it.

What company did you order the stuff from ?

AES Precision...I ordered it directly from their site.

Looks good! Definitely a beech stock.

About the AR15 yes that is true as long as it was permanently attached it counted as barrel length. On a Guantlet the rifled barrel is covered by a shroud these are 2 separate things you can't say the Guantlet has a 281/4" barrel. It is 231/2" the shroud is 28.

I agree that what the gauntlet has isn’t a 28.25” barrel. It’s just a shroud over a shorter barrel. I was just trying to clarify that the barrel should be one continuous piece of metal, or perhaps one continuous laminate, but isn’t necessarily measured by the rifled portion or the portion that contacts the projectile.

I agree. Old circular saw blades make terrific gongs for air rifles. The larger diameter the better. 12” and 14” blades seem to have a ring that just hangs in the air for several seconds.

While going thru wally world the other day I picked up a set of (3) 6 1/2" saw blades for $10.44 for pellet gun shooting I find they are great.

How is the la radar lx working out for you?

JW. · May 27, 2025

I have a couple Long-Shot Products LTD Micro Level levels and they rock. Its the original eyepiece mounted scope level with leds to show you where you need to go. The MDT fiber optic add on does something similar but it is on the outside instead of the inside. Probably impossible to find unless someone has one they want to let go. There was a modified version that ran upside down like it was right side up. No issues with re-levelling or it being off, the thing is solid and I trusted it in high level competition situations 100%. Has two settings for sensitivity (bench and field) and is easy to see when looking through the scope. Can't believe it took so many years for this item to be duplicated (and it really hasn't been).

With the crazy egg prices right now my daughter and I decided to do something a little different for Easter eggs this year. I got out some scrap steel and the plasma cutter and welder and she is the artist with the paint. I painted some too but the good ones are hers . We’re going to shoot them tomorrow and then we’ll paint them again next year. Here are a few photos to show the progression of our project. I started with a cardboard egg as a template and most of the steel is .125”.
