Brocock/BRK  Brocock Sniper XR Leak

IIRC, as in all airguns with a shroud/ silencer, there's a vent hole just in front of the action, in the shroud to vent air from the tube. That's normal.
I believe it was this.

Did a little backyard testing and it shoots great. Super low ES's and SD's. I think I'm gonna leave the reg set higher. Like the power and the shot count is still more than acceptable. I have a bottle and compressor so air is not an issue.

If I end up getting a more powerful gun and I keep this one, I'll turn it back down towards the factory settings. But for now the power is nice for pigeon hunting and I couldn't ask for better accuracy.

Ataman  Ataman m2r bullpup fill probe..

Oring size ....I have a probe that's leaking. I think it might be the same size as a cricket but I'm not sure on that either .
Do you have a digital caliper that reads metric as well? Just pulling one off carefully and measuring the ID CS and OD would be the best way. I don't think Ataman list any parts diagrams online.

Stoeger  Experience with older Stoeger XM1 S4?

One good thing I can say about this rifle is that it holds air. It’s been sitting unopened in the stock room at Everhart’s for 4-5 years, and it still had about 2k psi in the tube. Fired a few shots, seems pretty fast and hard hitting with the heavy EJ domes. I just ordered a hand pump from Walmart for $33 altogether. So altogether I have maybe $200 in this rig, including a fill source and scope 👌

Events  Ultimate Field Target @ PRGC on 02/22/2024

I want to thank everyone for showing up and shooting. I hope all had a good time. I try to make the course fun and challenging to all skill types. I apologize for the couple of rotted ropes that broke I try very hard to stay on top of that kind of thing. I will be picking up ropes today and replacing lane #1 far target rope. I went 8 or 9 matches without a cold line:(, and my streak starts again.

New FX product

how many times do we think FX will put a new fur suit on an old pet and tell us a NEW AND EXCITING GUN is going to be released?
This just reinforces the fact that FX’s R&D dept has become the Hollywood of the air gun industry. The Dynamic platform is starting to look like the Fast and Furious franchise. And like F&F the guns just keep getting dumber and less entertaining.
This coming from an ardent FX shooter. Somebody needs a boot up their backside. This Schtick is getting old.
Didn't the Panthera just come out in 2022? I don't think that Dynamic platform has been around long enough to get bored with it yet. Not to mention that they brought out the DRS platform after that. In my opinion the FX design team has been very busy bringing out new and interesting products and then giving us minor variations on each one.

Tuning  Help with Impact M4 700mm Tune

Alright, reporting in. Spent the day again shooting. I feel like I was able to make actual progress today. I followed the steps described here, in the vids, and also called up Utah Airguns and they helped walk me through some stuff as I did it.

I got my reg at about 125. I saw the best groups at the 900-ish fps range. I was able to use the micro wheel and then the valve adjuster to get the groups down to about a nickel or slightly smaller at 50 yards. Honestly for ground squirrels that would have been fine. But then I moved the target back to 75 yards and the groups were the size of the palm of my hand or slightly smaller. So that was not fun. Was almost ready to throw the rifle into an active volcano right then and there.

I ended up shooting through all my JSB pellets. But I had a full tin of AEA’s so I figured what the hell, can’t hurt to try those and see. BOOM all of a sudden I’m getting nickel sized or smaller groups at 75 yards with the AEA’s! Every once in a while a group would open up to about an inch or slightly more (no wind today so I don’t know why) but for the most part I was seeing good performance from the AEA’s. I think my gun maybe just doesn‘t like JSB’s.

I also noticed that with JSB’s I had an ES of 17.6 (with 25 shots) but with the AEA‘s I had an ES of 9.2 and SD of 2.something. So I’m gonna order a bunch of AEA’s and try to tune for those next week after this upcoming rain passes.

900 fps seems to be good, but I’m reading that a few people have seen good performance at 960 with the 33.9 grains. I’ll take pics of all my current settings and maybe try to see what AEA’s do at 960 if I can get there. It seems that I will need to work the reg up to about 140 for that. I’ll report in again after I get a chance to do so.

I wanna thank everyone here that’s replying and offering advice to help me. If any of you happen to come to the Sacramento, California area I will buy you In-N-Out Burger or something else for lunch as a thank you! This is a great forum.
Awesome 👏 I’m glad you were able to make it click and made some progress with it! Sounds like you are on the right path! I would encourage you to try more ammo as well. Grab some small tins of a handful of different types and do the same process for each one and find what works in your gun. Each gun is slightly different.

Either way glad you kept at it and got some results! Now that you got to this point, you should have no trouble repeating the process 👍 have fun!

Daystate  Daystate Revere .177 regulated tuning

Hey Guys! I bought a used Daystate revere .177 regulated from AoA. It shoots great, and overall a nice rifle to use. That being said, I do have a question about the shotcount. The regulator on mine is set to 160 bar, and from 250 bar, I get probably ~45 shots until I hit about 150 bar. (untested, need to actually do a shotcount one of these days). The numbers from AoA when they sent me the rifle: 5 shots, spread of 7fps, SD 2, minimum fps of 850 and max of 857, with a 10.3gr pellet. So about 16.52 to 16.8fpe.

I was wondering if this is infact, factory specs, or if I need to adjust the regulator or whatnot. My goal is to have ~19.5fpe with maximum shotcount. I feel that the regulator is a bit high for this powerlevel, but this is my first regulated gun.

If anyone has any experience tuning a revere regulated, please feel free to reach out :)
Yeah, you need to check the regulators set-point. Depending on barrel length, .177 requires between 110/125 bar. I can’t imagine any .177 cal. needing 150 bar 😵‍💫, unless the barrels extremely short (not OEM).

Sounds like these are .25 settings/specs.

Only one way to find out …. do some tinkering.

With optimal regulator, valve, transfer/barrel porting, hammer spring settings you s/d able to get 60/70 shots per fill👍.

N/A  Haenel III

I mis-spoke a bit! As you can see in the VAG pics, there was also a non-repeating version of the Haenel model 5; and a smaller model 5 Junior in plain and repeating variants.

The model 5 was a "normal" half-stock version of the same basic action used in the Haenel model 4 underlever, a quarter-stock underlever tap-loader looking much like the classic BSA's. All are lovely, rare and highly desirable collectibles. There was a repeater version of the model 4 too.

HW/Weihrauch  My HW77 is Complete

Agree. I do not have any such thing on my HW77, but my FWB 300s is another story. Gehmann adjustable front iris, the rear diopter is one of the Gehman models, adjustable iris, color filters, polarizing lens and a 1.5x lens, too many things to fiddle with. I really get more enjoyment with just an adjustable iris diopter.

What is that anti glare tube with what looks like a large bell front.?

It’s the Gehmann 559. Works great for glare, but if you zero too low it hits the sight base.

Skout  Trying to Get the Hang of it

You don’t have to be good to enjoy it. I think you have the right mindset with just looking for your own improvement. The good will come with time, practice and some learned skills.
I am not a BR shooter and never wanted to be. Shot a 100 yard BR competition last year and found out how little I did know. Now I m working to improve that as it all translates over to my favorite AG pastime which is small game hunting.
Yes my idea is that if I become very good at BR then great! Otherwise, if not, then I’ll just have a lot of trying and that’s a win win.

how should I filter the air moisture out using my compressor GX PUMP E-CS4?

I run an air Venturi small cotton type filter that I bought from pyramid and then connect that to one of the larger cannister filters filled with dessicant beads that are offered on Amazon. Can buy both the beads and filter. I have a gx 2 I have been running almost 2 years no problems off the external power supply plugged into the wall. No problems at all. The allure for me was they run slow and don’t draw a lot of power. Maybe I’m wrong 🤷‍♂️
can you send me photos of your setup?

Introduction

My AT44 is .22, I bought it refurbished directly from Hatsan. I am not entirely sure when it was made, unlike my Mod 95, the date is not clear. it is in pretty solid shape.

I have not had a chance to try it since the weather has been trash. Got it pretty well set up and prepped to go. I have 3 charged air cylinders, mounted an Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2, 10-40x56, removed the front and rear sight, added some extra muffling material to the moderator, adjusted the trigger, added fill material to the buttstock.

I suspect I will at least try some test shots today.
Welcome to AGN!
Trashy weather?
What part of the country are you in?
We haven't had a prime shooting day due to wind for a while now, down here in SE Louisiana. 👍
