Yesterday, Member Kcmusa, asked similar question in thread, "First Fill, Sidewinder, Compressor," in PCP Airgun forum section, under Western Airguns, might be interesting read. WM

i live where it is very hot.... we fight mirage constantly. The higher the magnification, the more mirage.

Don't own one but got got to shoot a friend's .25. Picture is my 2nd 5 shots with it @ 200 yards (3" gong)View attachment 528455. After that we went 286 yards & I missed bullseye by the width of a .25 slug! Amazing guns!

I hope I can shoot that well with mine

Thanks for the reply. As a navy diver I should have recognized the material as an air filter. Never seen it on a PCP though.

About the Cheekrest: Bin said he received them mid December. Normally, I would not post this kind of stuff on forums but I have tried anything else. I am now going to get something custom made as a replacement.

Yo Frogman!

Cool rifle!

You'll find the manual and parts diagram here. https://support.crosman.com/hc/en-us/articles/203360894-400-Owner-s-Manual-EVP-1957-1964

I'd get it quick before it goes away.

Cheers,

Got them! Thank you.

The stripper, as i understand it, is to divert the airflow that is not directly flow out the muzzle.
tear drops go with the flow and face the muzzle..as you suspected

Owned a bunch of Vortek kits over the years never a problem with any of them, nice shot cycle just a solid thud. Have also had guns with ARH kits in them no problems either but like Vortek shot cycle better. JMO

What liner are you using for the MRD’s? I dabble with them at times out of my .22 slugger. I switch to a 1:16 for them.

Anything heavy or longer in the caliber of the liner seems to do better with the 1:16 for me.

.25 heavy mk1 and 2, Hades and slugs 30 and over.

In .22 monsters, 33.95s and slugs 21 and heavier

carpmaster · Jan 17, 2025

about two years ago I started to be interested in AGT, not finding any data on their site about the barrels installed, I sent an email requesting the type of barrels installed (twist rate, rifiling, choke or not, brand etc.)
the answer was this:
"All barrels are without choke.
All barrels, except one, are with conventional rifling.
A 700 mm long barrel in cal.5,5 mm (.22) is with polygonal rifling."

no more information

it's just my thought: I believe that in their construction philosophy they want to offer an already complete and functional product, the end user just has to shoot. However, in the current state of the PCP world, I think it is a concept that needs to be revisited a bit

MDriskill · Jan 14, 2025

The Hurricane is basically why the Tempest exists, LOL!

The Hurricane was introduced in 1977 and sales were so disappointing that they cut the frame and muzzle housing down to create the Tempest, which came to market in 1979! The Tempest was much more successful, no doubt helped by its stronger resemblance to the more compact, classic all-steel Webley pistols of yore.

A junior version of the Hurricane called the Typhoon, with a similar long frame but weaker spring and smaller grips, also came out in '77. It was not a sales his, and was dropped fairly quickly - a very collectible item today.

Both guns stayed in the Webley catalog for many years, so keep at it - the Hurricane is a nice pistol, and fine examples are out there. But it's always been less common than the Tempest and will be harder to find.

(My favorite Webley trivia: these pistols are named after aircraft. During WW2, Webley suspended airgun production and made parts for Hawker-designed fighters - the Hurricane, Typhoon, and Tempest!)

I have the Saber Tactical Universal Pro Monopod like I saw you were initially using. How does the Skout rear monopod compare? I know both are fantastic workmanship, but which do you prefer and why?

First off, I’m a left handed shooter. The ST never quite felt at home. I fumbled with adjusting it with any kind of efficiency! Also, the Skout rest is built for their PCPs. It bolts on. There‘s no shifting. I likes it

Simple, fits the two disciplines I love to shoot

Simply the best

marflow 777 · Jan 12, 2025

NO, the 13th edition was the last

the pricing as stated is old now so any older BB would be useful

all the info is at Blue Book on digital for a price but not cheap

Okay, I finished some video about how to make the custom torsion spring and how to do the assembly (when I posted my Avenger magazine, I end up getting a bunch of questions). Having uploaded the videos, I also posted the 3D files on cults3d.com.

That sure is a nice looking place to do some slug testing

Impressed by CenterPoint 3-9x40AO that came on Benjamin Trail NP XL so found same on eBay in like-new condition for $50. F4 doesn't get much use but still groups OK @ 25 yards with H&N FTT (8.64 grain.) WM

Ok ya I see it as a package on gun scope .. mine use to sell them with the other scopes on the rack but I don't see them anymore standalone.

Athlon, Bushnell, braska, Simmons, tasco .. no more center points

Hicap97470 · Jan 11, 2025

Just purchased and at fist glance was surprised at bulk of the rifle and barrel length seems long but nicely built ,filled with air and after a few shots it definitely does not have a trigger like my Daystate huntsman but will see if it gets better with use.
shot dead center pellets from 18 to to 24 grn.And H&N slugs 23 grn.it seems to like those really well on 3rd and 4th setting all shot at 50 yards and 5 shots very accurate rifle can only imagine if it had a lighter trigger!

IcySwan1 · Jan 12, 2025

After 43 winters in extreme winter, She Who Must Be Obeyed now insists we spend the winter months in warmer climes. So we now are in Arizona for the winter. RAW and Daystate seem to be popular brands and now it is apparent why most folks shoot .177 or .22. Thanks for the insights.

I will take a pass on the .30 cal rifle and pick up a .177 or .22. In the meantime I will use my nice HW97.

I haven't read all the threads on the Dream Valve so I don't know if this has been reported. I just went to Huben Power and put a Dream Valve in the cart. I used the code "Inspire" and the price shipped was $108. Just to be fair "OTA10" from Justin works too. I didn't order one because like others here, I like the compact and light weight NOTOS as is. If I want to sit at the bench and shoot a ton of shots I'll just tether to my 30 minute scba tank. I can fill the tank to 3500 and shoot all day and not push any pressure limits.. easier on the equipment all the way around.

Krale just sent over a P8X in all of 48 hours from order to my doorstep in MA. A couple weeks ago I hatched a plan to sell my last Model 65 and my P40 and upgrade to what would be my first factory fresh FWB product. Both were rebuilt by me and sold Quickly on EBay producing enough funds to pay for the P8X. I have owned six Model 65s and have shot them quite a lot. As good as they shoot, I found it easy to get better results with the 2004 vintage P40. As good as both of the vintage models shoot the P8X is honestly on a different level. The difference is the trigger, it is considered by many to be the best mechanical trigger available and the equal of electronic offerings from the competition. I only have 23 feet available in my basement front sight to target so I use 10 meter rifle targets as they are considerably smaller than pistol targets. 50 shots on three targets and the few times I was outside of the black were obvious screw ups by this less than great freehand shooter. These things really are getting better as I have never attained those results with any of the earlier models.

Nice! Have been lusting for a PX8 since I first saw one. Love shooting my vintage pistols…but would like to see how a modern FWB shoots. Please refrain from saying anything positive about your new acquisition….as my list is long enough. Thanks John

Often dead-head pressure tests are conducted when filling times increase for no obvious reasons. Others establish a baseline, thru dead-head testing, to record the time it takes to reach a designated pressure. Subsequent tests, with fill times longer than baseline, could be an early indicator of problems. WM
