It would definitely be front tippy, specially if you were to place a carbon stock on it. You'll likely want to keep a synthetic stock to keep it mostly balanced as well as a scope you can have as far back as possible for you are looking to walk with it. I have a U2 700mm with a 15oz scope and a carbon stock and it still front tippy

Filled the 60 minute scba tank up from 2500 to 3k and tethered it to the bottled QB78 .22. Opened the shooting window in the shop and shot at various targets on my 45yd North Shooting range. I could literally shoot it for days without refilling. The gun gets 60 shots per fill just on the bottle.
This is a handy set up.. all I have to do is turn the tank off and bleed to 24" whip to shut down. Next day/session just open the valve on the tank and pick up right where I left off.

I prefer crisp and consistent...with noticeable staging, minimal overtravel. Preferred weight...it depends. I "grew up" in Highpower Service rifle...4.5lb min.
My BPCS rifle has set triggers, IIRC 1lb.
The Mrod measures 1.75lbs...but the 1st stage is loooonnnngggg...and there a pile of overtravel. I usually do my own trigger work. Made some basic adjustments...but just haven't gotten to tuning it...yet.

M-rod ( Theoben copy ) triggers are super easy to make really nice !!
Start by removing the lawyer spring !!! And place a shim on pin to take up the space

I feel for you folks hit with those storms and the water damage. Water is the worst it can be so destructive and only so much you can do to prepare or fight it! Its interesting reading throgh this and how it effects things there. this is unusuall weather for you guys so I get it. Up here in ND right now we are bitter cold. The next few mornings we are going to have around 45 degrees below zero wind chills! Everywhere has its thing. Generally you have warmer winters but I could never survive your Hot Humid summers! You should see how crazy the grocery stores and gas stations get up here when a Blizzard warning is issued!
Stay warm and be safe!

As an update to this post, Stacey at AV was kind enough to send me a new regulator after I explained what I was seeing. Upon receipt of the regulator, I put the seat seal under the magnifier and it was immediately apparent that this seal was flat and clean. The original reg seal had a series of concentric rings on the seal face.

I installed the regulator and backed it out 1/2 turn and got 165B right off the bat. I fired the gun and the reg pressure was back and stable at 165 bar in a few seconds. The previous reg would never really get stable. Overnight, the reg creeped to 179B and that’s less than a 10% creep. The previous reg was over a 15% creep and was as slow as molasses to get stable. This looks pretty good now and more in line with what I was expecting. Now, if I could just get a break in the weather, I’m guessing I should see some nice shot strings after I get it tuned up.

Is this the app that was stolen from Strelok?

No, Atilla,
Strelok was stolen by the jerks of Chairgun Elite....

Applied Ballistics is usually doing very high quality stuff (for firearms) — but this new app they sent out seems to be less than a finished product....

You can fill back to 5k while in the cold. BUT when you get ready to take the gun back to a warm space, you need to lower pressure to be safe.

Temperature and pressure directly correlate. More temp = more pressure for a given volume of air (IE your tank).

Struckat · Jan 18, 2025

I do not recall seeing much discussion around these types of air pistols. Once in a while a replica thread comes up. Most here are target shooting or hunting/pesting. (Different tools)

You may want to ask over at GTA, but the response may be similar.

My only comment would be that there are not many all metal airguns of any kind that are inexpensive.

I recently bought a LGU. Very nice rifle, enjoyable to shoot. Heavier that my TX. I have read the factory triggers left a lot to be desired. Mine has been replaced, still a tad heavier than I have my TX set. Is it more accurate than my TX? No. As accurate, probably but I have around 50,000 shots out of my TX and about 500 out of the LGU at this point. The addtional weight of the LGU is nice off the bench which is how mostly I shot, including matches. Glad I bought it, might not keep it forever but I had to try one and figured I would never get another opportunity. It has a short stroke piston installed with a super smooth shot cycle that I do like. Great rifle. 1 shot for a million bucks, I will be using my TX , neither of my 75s or my 300s.

I have on my favorite rifles the following scopes
1. RedWolf with an Athlon Midas Tac 5-25 x 56 FFP
2. Delta Wolf with an Elements Titan 5-25 x 56 FFP
3. FX Crown with a Vector Continental 5-30 x 56 FFP

All scope turrets has zero stops and all return to home fine
They all work well but anyway small things then gets annoying.
All scopes are sharp enough to let me clearly see my impact point with a .177 slug on 210 yards

Athlon
In clarity and sharpness a clear win to the Athlon. Specially Video recordings is superior through the Athlon.
The Athlon is ok to range with with a Parallax wheel - Difficult to range accurate on +70 yards.
The Minimum parallax distance is 24 yards - When winter it becomes very blurry at 24 yards. And in my garden it is close to my shooting distance.
Also annoying that the windage turret is capped.

Titan
Very good glass and the turrets are a bit mushy but works well.
The best of the 3 scope for ranging with a Parallax wheel.
Not equally scharp over the complet image. Sharpest area is top right area.
Very good video quality through the scope.

Vector
Very good image - Though a bit foggy at 30x
Very difficult to range with - Distance focus on the parallax is very very close when you reach 55 Yards.
When shooting video through the scope- You get a lot of purple fringe on the bright areas and that's quite annoying.
It is a lot less dominant if you force the Gopro to exposure compensate -1.00

So it depends what you need -

I am happy enough with all my scopes - no plans to exchange any of them

I have been doing a ton research on this myslef and the Umarex Notos seems to be best option in my opinion. The customization options alone really sold me and the price point. I was a Hatsan fanboy when I started in pcp rifles but Umarex and AEA have kinda stolen the show for me. The price points are nice with plenty of options for customizations that dont break the bank either.

If you have an hour or two spare (and haven't already) there's a couple of 'vintage airgun' gallery websites that have a few rifles like the Wray (small run/ custom builds) that are worth checking out

Yes had the concept action up and running, efficiency was in the late 50's with a light spring and minimum recoil. It came about after daydreaming about transfer port dimensions (I'm sad like that)....

View attachment 531155

Basically, the Crosman barrel is fixed at the muzzle end, and floating at the breech/ probe end, and can be adjusted in or out to open or restrict the port. The barrel is held central by the piston as it traveks down the comp tube. The probe would load a pellet into the leade (same as a pcp) but retract and cam back slighlty when locked to allow for flow.

A pellet receives the majority of its energy from the compressed air whilst the piston is still moving. You need a transfer port of course to act as a restriction to allow pressure to build at all, but that restriction also prevents flow so.....I wanted to see how wide/ short you could go (and in this concept you can 'sort of' go 8mm wide (the diameter of the Crosman barrel) by as little as 0.1mm, upwards, in length.

Ultimately this was just about testing the compression tube/ barrel/ TP arrangement. I made a basic trigger release, and cocking sled using chain and an underlever from a 77 (piston latches at front end and cocks from rear)....

.....but they could never really be used in a full working model. One day though, when life is different, I'll design a chassis/ proper trigger arrangement, and take this further......

Ingenious!…Very clever!…I love seeing other’s ideas on how to solve problems. Thanks again for sharing! Will check out vintage websites for more solutions to this. John

after doing some digging i remembered i had a priced parts diagram from Umarex from 15 + years ago and i shows the inner and outer barrel cover and parts number and you will even at that time the outer was not available but was it because it was no longer available or was it out of stock
now the otter shows up on the OMPS 2 site but not the inner and just because they show it doesn't mean they will be able to get it they work on you buy it we will order it and if it not available we will tell you sort of way and the shipping will be no fun
Knibbs and Chambers does have it and i am sure someone has them but who and where is the challenge as it is with chasing parts

Thers a guy here w year or so bach posted in removal fron thr blocks but when you wsked him a pointed question he crawfished on ya ..

I guess go to uk and just buy a replacement barrel unless you just board looking to rainy day project something . Then gi buy yhe replacement barrel .

Example .. .177,20 ,or .22

Elbowgrease · Feb 11, 2025

Here is my setup. Just got this thing on Saturday and love it. I got the stock extender for it. Helps a lot. Put a donnyFL Ronan to quite the bark down. I have a MTC copperhead scope mounted up. I was considering getting that lower handguard/rail but would not be able to mount a scope on it properly. At least from what I can tell anyway. Went ahead and just put an adhesive pad on the air cylinder just to protect it if I rest it on something. I did tune it just a bit. Have it shooting .22 JSB 18 grains at right about 800fps. Have not messed with the reg yet.

Appreciate the comments Trucker. I don't turn over equipment much at this point and the upgrade was more out of getting to platform that was at a competetier level, at least for where I am. I like the way the 22 cal shoots and hence the choice of going 25 cal on a new AG.

I don’t think it would be wise for Martin, or any manufacturer to participate in these forums. You will always get someone with an axe to grind.
