You need heavier hammer weight to over come the higher reg pressure or heavier hammer spring or combination of both more hammer weight and stronger spring

Nice setup!

I was thinking about setting up a small garden shed for shooting. Decided that since I could just step out the door to shoot any time the weather was suitable, a patio umbrella was all I needed to keep the sun out of my eyes.

Cheers!

Bummer, if you end up with a V1 let me know.

A couple others to ponder would be an Avenger X and Umarex Zelos......and maybe an Umarex Notos.

Sorry you had to learn the hard way! THAT'S exactly why I never ever screw with the integrity of the Original air supply. The pressures we deal with are no joke! Really glad no one got hurt.

100% agree with you, but im the kinda guy that will push the button that says don't push this button...lol...plus no one makes a replacement for it. So if i can make it better and more reliable, then why not try...I get the risks, im willing to accept them for the science and for those that want an alternative to using the probe....

Here’s one for the detail guys. Different knockdown power between equal grain slugs or hollow point at same (125 reg pressure on wildcat3) AND what are you wildcat shooters liking for max using reg pressure. I know thatwill punch it up but not experienced enuff to be comfortqble with 150 or so? Thoughts? Thanks men! And any of the fair sex out there!

I recently purchased a Bintac M50C with regulator and the 22" barrel and 500cc tank combo options.

The Bintac M50C big-bore airgun is based on AAE's HP MAX bolt action offering, with options for 13" and 22" barrels, larger tanks (based on barrel length 350cc for the 13" and 500cc for the 22" barrels ) and a choice of adding an externally adjustable regulator.

I'm trying to figure out what the regulator is set at. So, hopefully, someone here can answer this, and possibly other questions about this particular big-bore PCP airgun.

Also, I hope to get info on issues and how to resolve them.

I haven't had a chance to take it out, yet; due to weather. But, I'm really looking forward to it.

There isn't a gauge? The reciver gauge if it's still there should read the plenum pressure I would think? now that there's a regulator up front. I have had no issues with my hp 50, except It didn't want to hold 4500psi for a while until I added a few drops of silicone oil into the fill probe. That also fixed my sf now that holds 4500psi like it should as well (thats where i found that suggestion on an sf chat on this forum). I highly recommend like 2-3 drops of silicone oil occasionally just before you fill it with air. It's not going to hurt anything, it will condition the seals and make them work better. Good luck. Enjoy

I may have to take it apart again. There is something in the compression tube that is preventing the cocking handle to complete the circuit. Maybe excess oil or dirt…If I hold the handle closed, load, close the breech and fire, it is fine. After firing the cocking handle goes into battery where it should be.

OK in the big bore category, what is ur minimum fps for your heavy ammo?examples of different calibers would like to hear

Click to expand...

With what I have for pcps, AEA 357 side lever and .308 Texan I don't like going below 940 fps with 150gr I could go heavier but then it doesn't fit my needs. mine are considered mid bores now.

Hell yeah nice shot!

Old guy with old eyes. I like the SFP Element Helix scopes and have been upgrading my airgus to them.

I have $1000 FFP scope on my bench rifle and would gladly trade it for an equivalent SFP scope. The reticle is acceptable at maximum magnification when shooting white paper but is impossible to see at low power.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers!

Negative. Got it in PM on here. Did they have a Short Mutant on AOA? Ive seen quite a few Taipans for sale on AOA lately for good deals.

They had a like new condition mutant on AoA and it was priced very appealing , I think it was a little over $600.00

DARKHORSE1967 said:

They’re reasonably priced, so I’m tempted as well but don’t want to add more guns

Yeah Ive got 10 pcps already really dont need another one.. would like to have a R10 SE in .177 though.

I found Beeman's 1986 catalog that may provide a clearer picture of this topic.
Beeman's literature calls it the Mini (with the word Junior in italics) especially on the order page.
Thanks for the comments.

Beeman was a great dreamer. The Feinwerkbau company did not produce any minis, only the Juniors models.

I’ve got one of them.

Karma and DonnyFL have the same owners, great quality, great CS, for 100 yds, get it in .25 or .30

10 shots at 50yds. I'm happy with the tune. I was shooting for group. Now to get it zeroed. I'm using a Vortex 3-9x40 and can tell that I need more scope. My 50 year old eyes were struggling. So I guess I'll start doing some research on scopes.

Click to expand...

My recommendation would be the Vector optic.
The glass in mine is gorgeous. Just a really nice scope and not all that expensive.

I love a lot about the Daystate Delta Wolf

I have had my .177 HP almost 4 years now and have probably put 30K+ pellets and slugs through it by now

- I love the ease of tuning and adjusting, when I am testing different ammo
(We have added factory settings for a lot of pellets and slugs)

- Love the build quality, the ease of cocking and the trigger

- Accuracy is very good and it is not pellet or slug fuzzy

Great guns!

Hi adam - the RWS 45 was also my first serious adult airgun. Absolutely wore that sucker out in the '80s. And then two days ago on a warm spring afternoon I pulled it off the rack for the first time in years and it was like travelling through the wayback machine. Hadn't shot it in a really long time, but the experience confirmed that it is still as fine a springer as anything in its niche. RWS Superdomes were the pellets that the vendors, Gerry and Carol Thomas, recommended and they were superb as were the 7.9 Premiers and H&N offerings. Today it seems to shoot well with any quality pellet, although you might want to try the RWS first.

enjoy your fine airgun!

Thank you very much I will definitely try out RWS pellets I just ordered a tin of Meisterkugeln pellets. My grandfather had a Diana model 45 and a Gamo Hunter 440 that we used to plink cans with so I have always had a connection to these two breakbarrels.

Got the viper .30 last summer. It's been a good pistol to have fun with. I run slugs and pellets. One magazine is missing the external spring so I run rmr bullets 2nd quality "slap" slugs. They are super affordable and hit the target. The other magazine with spring gets jsb or aea pellets. 44-45 grains for all ammo. It has a holosun eps carry reflex sight. Optional moderator. Weighs under 3 lbs loaded. Over 3 lbs with moderator. Tricky to sight in because each shot changes velocity as you loose air, so I have it set to get as close as possible but poi changes with each shot. You can absolutely hit your mark but then they will start to move away from center. It makes 30 lbs give or take. Velocity was taken with slugs. 10 shots per fill last shot 486 fps. My reason for going with this pistol was that the magazines can be removed and the gun can be de-cocked.

(Edit)This group is 6 yards off a sand bag with slugs. 1st magazine

With the 16's today;
I tried 26.5fpe/852 fps/HP reg at 900/SD of 7, and it shot well but SD was only 2fps less than when it was set at 22fpe/788fps/HP reg set at 600/SD around 9, not including that faster first shot.
Then tried 29fpe/917fps/SD of 1.8/ HP reg set at 1050psi. It was the clear winner and also very precise at 69Y. Vertical at 69Y was 3/4"[edit more like .6"]. I don't know how many shots I'll get out of a fill but I like it here using these pellets.

This was all fun seeing how the EVO did. Especially at 100Y yesterday when I found out how tight it could shoot in low wind at 22 fpe.

Did have one problem and it was a pellet that went too far forward causing the magazine to not advance for one shot so when I saw what had happened I lightly tapped the mag against the table which made the pellet, well all the pellets, go to the back of the magazine.

I really did get a great barrel!

And I keep saying it but I can't help but like this gun a lot/when it's working and it has been.

Might have our first fall night match on the 4th Saturday of this month so I'm gonna put it back to 49 fpe for the Alt slugs.

Nice! I want! Daystate Howlers are made by NSA (Neilsen Specialty Ammo), not JSB just so you know.

Thank you. I got those mixedd up with Daystate RangeMasters. I did put a correction in the pinned comment. I always get at least one thing wrong per video. That's how I roll. Thanks for the technical help! -Nate

Paul does outstanding work. We have a few of his FT targets at DIFTA. The huge range of designs are super fun to shoot and have real character.

We also purchased 10 sets of 4x spinner targets with the 'paddle' sizes custom chosen to make for FT practice over the 10-55 yard range. These really help build confidence as you move from larger to smaller targets at each distance.

These compressors work, however, they've fallen out of favor due to a 12-18 month lifespan and limited rebuilding success. As charlie99 said, best way to test compressor is to deadhead plug (pictured) end of fill whip (hose) and pressurize system. A good compressor builds and holds pressure after shut-off. MAKE SURE TO RELEASE PRESSURE BEFORE RE-STARTING COMPRESSOR. Check spare parts that came with compressor, deadhead plug likely included. Knowing the gun takes air and if compressor checks out might be a problem with hook-up to gun. Would handpumping friend be available to verify proper hook-up? WMView attachment 550976

My hand pumping friend tried it and he couldn't figure it out either. He yas only ever used the hand pump, and is fairly new to this himself. But i think the advice I've gotten here will help when i try again tomorrow. Thank you.
