Does anyone know when the .30 cal exploding ammo is going to be available?

My lord what a nightmare! By nice to know which O ring to check first That is the most common problem? Fly

Hello, hold your gun horisontal for you body, en make and 8 movement but then laying in 8 horizontal.

Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place.

I just took delivery of a New Hatsan Factor BP in 30 cal.
I have other Hatsans , so I knew I would need to Give it the once over.
First the crown. It is not up to my specs. as a prior QC in the Aerospace industry, and as a gun owner.
Sooo, i honed it using some valve grinding compound followed by some JB bore paste.
Now it is as perfect as can be under the bore scope!
Next was the hammer tension which I put at halfway.
The trigger was terrible, and the Owner's manual sent is not representative of the Normal quattro trigger.
The adjusters are located about 6 inches rear of the trigger and accessed through holes in the stock. They are not on the trigger!
I left the #1 first stage adjustment as is. I adjusted the #2 screw , which removed the unnecessary creep before break.
#3 screw was adjusted to a nice 2# pull via my trigger pull guage.
I have owned other Hatsans, so I knew they were not out of the box ready to hunt with.
I mounted a WestHunter 4-16 SFP scope with fine graduations and 1/10 mil, adjustment, on top of a -10 base.
First shot at 33 yards, 12" high and 6" left, second shot 1" high 1 " left, 3rd thru 7th shots 1 ragged hole with JSB 44.75. Pellets
Now I'm ready to shoot some sage rats, we're leaving tomorrow for a week! Yeah! Offline and out of touch till then!
And a Blessed and Happy Father's Day to you, my brothers!

Thanks for your input Toxylon. So far I think I'm doing right by my springers and will continue the practice of not leaving them cocked other than while hunting.

This week I received this rifle and Diana scope and the scope was one of the best that comes with rifles. Mounted the scope and for the first in many air guns the scope needed no adjustment as it was dead on at 12 yards and very accurate and so easy to cock and shoot. The very best rifle/scope combo I have. Charles

I have a CONCRETE boat that is super stable and floats great .... It is easily towed behind a compact car or truck.

ONE of those statements is a lie / untruth
Do you know which one ?

I once spent the summer working on a commercial fishing boat (halibut long-liner) made out of concrete but one would be hard pressed to easily tow it behind a car or truck, compact or not.

Thanks everyone for the great information and nice pictures!

Thank you Gerry but on this one pump it has a capacitor I can rob off it. You guys are the best. As for as
the motor windings it don,t think it’s that, no smoke or burn smell. It ran for just a few sec,s. Fly

AHHHH the obligatory foot , perfect !

Thanks, just ordered one...

Wow! Thanks guys. I had no idea. But now that you have me thinking about it, I recently helped a buddy sight in a lower end powder burner with a lower end scope / mount, and we ran out of adjustment on the scope. We were able to get it on target, but it wouldn't stay on target because of all the adjustment we had to use. I but we were dealing with barrel droop. Thanks for the info. Super helpful. I hope I never have to bend a barrel, that makes me cringe just thinking of it.

Not sure why you are calling the Gamo Premier, when the tin says Crosman Premier. Am I missing something here ?

Seems like it .. lots on why starting with gamo now owns crosman and there rebranded gamo prllets from spain... Lol. Im not fooled ..

Been a VERY long time since I had any mechanical engineering but 6061 aluminum, probably, has very little flex. To the point it is unlikely your poi would shift due to flex. Thermal expansion and contraction might have greater effect than flex.

The tests I have done really makes clear the oring is the problem.

Not sure if FX changed it alteady without editing the drawing.

Happy Fathers’ Day

My aea sf 30 and my hp 50 both used to leak down to 4000psi over a few days or so. A few months ago I put a few drops of silicone oil inside the fill probe then filled with air. They both now hold 4500psi, it was an instant fix. I read about people doing it to their sf on here. It's worth a try. O rings can dry and shrink. Check valves can get stuck.

Thank you ill try that i have airgun oil

Just using the correct thread HUMA reg will buy you some small gains in plenum volume due to No Bevel Stack/spool assembly displacing volume when attached to receiver.

Click to expand...

A Huma regulator was mounted when I bought the rifle, acc the seller it was a fastflow but after some checking it was a Huma regulator.

I want to increase the plenum volume and check the effect with the same settings. I was thinking it would be cheaper to buy a Hydraulic fitting and do some experimenting before I would buy a Raw Plenum. Or make one my self on the Lathe as that would be a cheaper option.

Was just wondering if someone did this before?
