The front gauge on the right hand side is the bottle pressure gauge. The rear gauge on the left hand side is the reg gauge used for both regs.

Thanks! That rifle may be the luckiest auction-site find of my life, to make a long story short.That D50 in the bottom photo absolutely oozes Diana vintage classic, Mike! SOOO COOL!![]()
Great job on the pigeons, but please, please, please get that gun off the ground. She is too gorgeous to be laying among the vermin…Finally a nice day with low wind so headed to my Fremont permission. Had a productive day and dropped 22 pigeons. Best day in quite a while. Shot the majority inside the barns with my .22 Crown with the power turned down to 4 and a couple others with my DRS classic .25 cal.

Yeah, that is it, thanks.
I think everywhere east of the Rockies has been windy or bad weather for the last couple of weeks, at least here in E. TexasGot up early loaded my guns, bottle range box and chronograph into the car... Didn't bother checking the weather.. I have permission to shoot on a small dairy farm about a block away...
When I arrived I walked out to set my bench and reality hit or should I say weather 50mph winds coming right in face !!! Now I come home and check my weather.. Lowest wind and for the next week 20mph and gust to 50mph !!! Maybe I will get a chance The 28th !! Oh well, I guess some chrony work in the shed..
They say here in Illinois, we can wear a parka and shorts on the same day !! Windy city, more like windy STATE !!
Thank you for your reply.Made this years ago from wood being a 4 mag holder for the TAIPAN ... if crafty a fun and rewarding project !!

FX Leopard, PistolI'm not an experienced user of FX products, but I've had a couple of FX airguns and see the usual comments about FX on the forums.
Just had a quick look at their site: https://fxairguns.com/
Can you list a few currently available FX products that are missing from their web site. Or maybe some items still on the site that are so old or unavailable that they should not be listed anymore?
That's the kind of specific follow-up info to the original post that might benefit someone who is unfamiliar with FX products and depends on their website for initial information. I usually get most of my purchase decision info from comments on airgun forums like this. And like anyone else, I usually check a manufacturer's website as well. On reflection I mostly do that because the manufacturers' web sites usually include a full list of technical specifications on their products. Many vendor websites seem to leave out important specs from the product descriptions, like the weight of an airgun. Perhaps because once an airgun gets up into the 9+ lb weight range, listing the weight in the product description might hurt potential sales.
Where is trigger pull set screw. If it’s adjacent to trigger, but not part of trigger. Have watched u tube video on trigger adjustment. Followed instructions numerous times. Will not cockMaybe check the trigger pull set screws....if the pull is too light the sear wil not engage.
You get yourself a zelos instead if you haven't bought anything yet.How do you like your Throne 2? I have about $650 for a pcp air rifle and want an accurate high powered bullpup in .22. Suggestions?
I hope , but at least I'll be able to comb my hair I have left in the shine lol@OldVet bet that will look sweet.
I believe the problem started with removing under pressure. My theory, the aluminum threads "stretched" when removed. A few times of remove/replace eventually caused results. I should note - tube was a little loose when I was threading it back on. Should have stopped at that point. Lesson learned.Gulp, I feel for you man. It happens. Just sorry that it had to be this gun.
So much aluminum in PCPs. I get why this is so, but anything threaded will be relatively delicate. The alternatives will probably result in either a steel boat anchor or will be plastic, I mean polymers. Titanium?
Out of curiosity & education, was the cause crossed threads putting it back on? Or was that the result of removal w the pressure?
Holding at 160 which is what AOA said is the recommended setting.A gradual upward migration is usually caused by wear on the regulator’s valve seat (the small end of the piston).
A more sudden increase may be the result of a small bit of debris pinched into the valve seat.
If it were to continue climbing and reach reservoir pressure, it’s probably the seal on the pressure adjustment screw.
Yes, I agree. I don't know what is going on with them lately.Many times, it takes hundreds of shots to break a springer in. My MyHW50 and Tomahawk require more than that, so give it more shots. Plus, some newer Diana springers are not very accurate.
