Bighun - Thank you - I found that diagram earlier today, have a 100 70’s and 50 90’s inbound from oringsandmore.com. Cost a whopping 3 bucks….

Oh that’s super cool

My TXEDM042 will fill 6.8l in around 45 minutes dry to 4500psi. About 75 minutes for a 9l. Top off 3000 to 4500 on the 6.8l is 15 minutes.
The M042 has the dual filter, one side is liquid collection the other final dry and clean.
Auto shut off

There is a model with built in water reservoir and radiator.

Before the BRKs stole my heart through performance. The Gamo Urban and Artemis pp700sa did the bulk of my pesting. Heck the pp700sa was my number one rat killer. More kills combined than all my BRKs… The pictured 1701p is murder on them at close range. The single shot loading is the only downside.

PP750 is my favorite go to for barn pesting....Love that unit!

I love my Krait L .177, I am hoping to soon get a .22, same size.

I can help you with that. Call me at 646 450 1515. I'm in Connecticut.

Good question. Short answer is I don't know. That's why I am posting to see anyone has tried it. What's your primary unit? Just curious.

I have a Westhunter WHT 3-12x44 on my Pathfinder XR and an Aztec Emerald 5-25x50 on my Ghost…

Mine is a 250cc also.

Received my mini tripod today and I am pretty excited how it fits and holds my Impact up well.

I bought the taller tripod in the past and it fits my needs so I thought I will add the mini to my collection.

Luis, amazing how the FPS using different TP settings kept both different weight pellets the same! And, the POI for both the same! Great shooting! I am having a blast with the new to me Taipan Vet2 I got from Dillon, I am back in the compact pcp game like you! Nice photos.

Thanks Randall, looking forward to reading more about your impressions of the Taipan Vet 2… you should consider posting up some images of your new rig…

My mental model for what is happening when you pull the trigger is a sine wave starts down your barrel because of the excitation of the release of air. The barrel wants to move a tiny, tiny amount in some direction due to the excitation. When you tune the gun you are trying to find a pellet (most important variable by far in my experience) and tune that minimize the difference in this movement shot to shot. Lots of things, including temperature, can influence what is "best". My one 177 gets tuned to shoot faster than most of my other guns partially because it can. I've tried a variety of speeds in it and not seen much difference in accuracy. So I set it up to shoot 880-900 in part because I want to be able to cleanly kill squirrels (which it does very nicely).

In short, speed is a secondary variable in my opinion which does not strongly affect accuracy. Logically a stronger pulse from air could lead to more excitation of the barrel and potentially less accuracy but I have not seen it. 177s do not use a lot of air per shot and the barrel tends to be thicker than other calibers so if this is a factor at all it would be significantly less for 177. As many others have said, you have to test and see what you think.

If you think you might want a bullpup be sure to look at the P35s, they re my favorite and Krale is the only way I know of to get one in the U. S.. I have three. Light, powerful enough and accurate.

Protect the valve , I can't stress that enough ! I have shipped about 14 -15 tanks over the last year or two . Two broken gauges . The tanks are pretty much indestructible , the vulnerable part is what sits on top ! It needs to be packed like it will be dropped out of an airplane. Also any tank that is out of certification must be completely empty . DOT regulations.

Welcome to AGN! I hope you like RABBIT HOLES because this one is deep!

Yes, what you observed is fairly common with a new regulator as it breaks in. The valve seat consists of plastic part squeezing up against a metal part. In the early going, little imperfections in their mating surfaces allows the pressure to slowly creep up until they eventually squeeze hard enough to fully halt the transfer of air. After they have cycled open and closed a number of times, the plastic part takes on an imprint and the regulator will become more stable.

For what it’s worth, the setpoint will usually increase slightly during the break in period. You experienced the opposite, and if I were to hazard a guess, it’s probably the result of some setting of the spring. But suffice it to say I don’t think it’s anything to be concerned about.

Hi Nervous, I actually discovered that my gun is consistent at 100 bar on the regulator. seems that the reason i was getting 110 bar was the fact that whenever the shop used their tank to fill my rifle they did it too fast leading to heat buildup in the cylinder. i confirmed this by using my new tank to replicate. If i did it slowly and didn't make the gun heat up it would do 100 bar. if i did it quick it would heat up and do 105 110 bars. but once it cools down it did go back to 100 bar or so. the gun is consistent and making very tight groups so the regulator is consistent it seems also.

Damnit, just saw your post but this week was busy for work but would love to one day

I'll be back around April 2nd...heading to do some iguana plankin on Tuesday.

I think my average is 1000 shots on a outing, and i try very hard to shoot 2 times a week all year.
So my now 10 month old Epic airguns Two, have fired a few shots.

They call me Mr lead poisoning.

.22 caliber and .20 caliber are not permitted ????

No one can.

Yeah, when you get a gun tuned like that …. and looks that nice.
You likely would never be able to replace it.

I had Tim give both my older Benjamin 397 (1985) and Sheridan C series (1982) a full steroid treatment circa 2009. I remember speaking to him about maximum pumps but I never wrote it down. Can anyone let me know what is the maxmimum pumps?

BB’s said:

Found this old pumper at a local gun show . I think it’s a Crosman 109 town and country Jr. in 177. I haven’t found much online read one post that the 109 was only made a few years. It’s shooting great about 600fps with 6 pumps wit a 7.4 gr pellet. I just wanted to share this old timer . Enjoy

Nice looking rifle.

Just find a screw and nut that will fit.

Below is at 100 yards, Airforce Texan .308, 150gr 960 ish fps with a Zulus HD 5-20x lrf, Love the wat this .308 is setup now. With a boat tail slug I will be able to really reach out to tag some critters.

Yes.177

With the 700 mm barrel, well the heavy barrel at least slugs worked damn fine ( 13 gr ) also in the STD liner, but unsure if i tried the 10 grainers in it, if i did probably regular 10 gr KO slugs and i can not recall result.
I do remember 10 gr Zan not working good for me.
But tore off the long barrels and DIY CF sleeve and went back to the original 600 mm with a new standard barrel CUZ not able to find any Heavy ones at the time.
The original 600 mm barrel, i would not even give that to the person i loathe the most, it did not work above SUB12 speed / power

Got maverick when it was brand new on market, and a little later the 700 mm barrels when they came out, and it have given me great joy shooting several 10.000 of slugs in the following years.
Im at a place where i might as well have a ammo subscription with Zan, just ordered 10 new boxes of 13 grain yesterday, i shoot 2-3-4 boxes in a day during summer, and often i shoot 2 consecutive days, and do that 2 times a week, so quite a lot of lead launched here.

Right now though i always grab my Epic Two, only think of the Maverick when i see it lying in its case on top of a big cardboard box in my living room, have lived here for like 14 years now and at least 1/2 of my stuff are not unpacked, haven’t even put up light here, i have screen light and a single floor lamp in a corner i use when i work on stuff on my living room table.

Anybody shooting one of these taipan slash yet? I'm really considering one, the brand seems to be well liked. I like how it isn't loaded down with gimmicky nonsense. Just wondering what the opinion of them is and how reliable the semi-auto is.
