Greg,
Thank you for the report. Incidently, when Brain says something he is usually right!

Reach out to AIRGUNARCHERYFUN, Wes seems to have parts for the Notos's

Take it off and replace it with one of Hectors tuners. It will bring out the hidden accuracy in your rifle.

Put some IR /motioned triggered webcam out there to ID the critters and alert you when to lock and load.

No kidding. Last night the largest possum I’ve ever seen was just waltzing through the back yard out side the fence. It was walking along the edge paused looked at me like oh hey and kept on where ever it was headed. Went and set up my night vision and waited to see if it would come back. And luck me the ole one eye raccoon came back. He’s the one who took my first duck I remember because I took its eye. Well he came back… I haven’t had this many for years.

Just wondering if anyone has a PDF or document they could send me that breaks out all parts and orings sizes for the edgun leshiy classic? I cannot find any such document on the web.... ugh. thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

OOOPS, never mind, I just found the DOC's on edgun wests site

I don't have that pumper, but on my other pumpers, I get good results with wadcutter (flat nose pellets). I shoot short distances from 5 yards to 20 yards. I use RWS pellets.

These 7 grain are flat nose. Maybe I should try bb's.

Penchetta is the spelling, it is the guy from 'Penchetta pen and knife'
He sometimes goes under the screen name Turk something, Turk 182 maybe?

I have dealt with Carel from the Netherlands several times and would not hesitate to purchase from him again,

I got my P35-22 and P35-177 almost exactly 3 years ago. I put a different scope on the P35-22 today and started shooting it a little to zero the scope. I was getting 830+ on 21 grain at first and then it dropped to about 800. Sometimes velocity would go up with more hammer spring, sometimes it would not. This gun has consistently shot around 825 fps with these pellets since new. So I decided the regulator was probably acting up. I rebuilt two other SPA regulators this week. They were from used guns that are new-to-me. But how to do it was fresh in my mind.

I pulled the regulator out the back of the airtube, it conveniently was locked to the end fitting. Nothing looked bad but I replaced all the O-rings and put some anti-corrosion spray on the bellville washers, the kind Motorhead (Scott) recommends. Then I put it all back together replacing O-rings in everything I took apart. When I got it together velocity was low, under 800 so I correctly guessed the regulator was a bit high. I measured the height of the stem of the adjustment screw above the lock ring as best I could with digital calipers but I guess I was a bit off. So I turned it down a little over a quarter turn. Moved it maybe 0.3mm. Looks like success. Velocity was over 830 with the hammer spring at max and would presumably have gone higher if I had more hammer spring. I turned the hammer spring down over a turn and am getting consistent 820-825 velocity and accuracy seems to be there, maybe. I will tune a bit more. The first time I had it together with the new regulator setting it leaked. I think it was the O-ring under the gauge but I replaced all the O-rings in that end of the gun. I had not taken that apart intially but when I got that nut off and the gauge off the O-ring seemed to have no silicone grease on it. Dropping the pressure to zero a couple times probably finished the killing of that O-ring.

So my recommendation is if you have a SPA gun that is 3 years old or more and it starts acting funny it may be time to replace a bunch of O-rings including the regulator if it might be involved. I've messed with my other P35s a lot more, this is the first time the 22 has been apart. So I've replaced parts already in the others but this one shot so well I was leaving it alone. But hopefully now it will return to it's original form which includes excellent accuracy. Last 4 shots hit at least the 9 ring so it may be there if I can get the Veyron adjusted and read the wind well.

Thanks again.

I have some H&N 22cal Precision 34gr slugs on back order at Pyramid, but it could be few weeks before they come in. In the meantime, if you know of source, I'm interested.

And that's why I had my kid do them for me. It also required a different program to unzip the files. So, did you get it updated.

Click to expand...

I didn't have any problem uncompressing the .rar file for the programmer.
I just didn't see the the drop-down menu slider, which was at the bottom 5 options by default.
I thought I was counting down 5 options from the top row, but was inadvertently counting down to option 13 from option 9 in the drop-down menu.

1st photo shows the slider at the bottom of drop-down menu. Option 13 selected.
2nd photo shows the slider at the top of the drop-down menu. Option 5 selected.

After moving the drop-down menu slider and selecting the correct option (photo 2) the firmware upgrade went smoothly.
Updated the firmware successfully!

Ditto… that’s what makes it so satisfying when you finally thwack a few… Thank you gents for assuaging my misses… I was a little upset at my misses, but reminded myself that I was on “boy time” allowed by my wife and the graces of the landowner…

go to huben3dparts.com

I used a green dot and love it

first release ones have a very slightly undersized valve that can slow leak from high pressure. mine does sometimes. temp changes exacerbates it. it will stop leaking at around 250 bar.
they can also get a leak from the check valve. mine has done that too...but that's a 5 minute job to replace, and kit comes with a spare!

I also use a Crosman 2240 converted to .177 , open ports and JSB 16.20 .

The pests never know what hits them !

Only a few shots but with power !

Lou, I’ve got to be honest with you because this was the match that I was hoping not to read the results of. I saw Joe’s last two scores looming in the shadows and I figured when he posted his 3rd match that he would instantly move everyone down the leaderboard and boy I was right, arrrrggggghhhhh. I hate it when I’m right.… Congrats on another fine match Joe.

Maybe try using Rumble.

Click to expand...

Rumble gets 0 views. All the airgun channels who have tried it quit after a few videos because they top out at 300 views for airgun channels. I have researched everything. I'm about to start a media company that makes channels, not a channel, channel"s" that pay big $. Airgun Channel will soon be my "Day Job" that I hope to quit by becoming a Youtuber. If you curiouse I will probably focus on Animals, Bodycams, a Talking Head channel as described above, and a few others. I will eventualy run a bunch of channels and have 90% of the work hired out. Possibly partnering with another guy you all know so we can get out of the gun business.

It appears that we have another winner! AGN member @student submitted a guess on June 15th. He didn't completely follow the rules, as we requested the winners first & last name (and we initially searched the entries by first name), but ZAN is a stand-up guy and agreed to donate a second Pellet Sizer kit!

Many thanks to ZAN projectiles - your team is AMAZING!!!

I have to come down to your neck of the woods, a lot more critters running around than by me.

primaz said:

so you used a little torch or something after masking the rest of the grip, or what exactly? Did you sand the rest of the grip as well, and apply different stain? can you provide more details....

Click to expand...

No masking no sanding no stain I wiped down the grip with soapy water flushed it off wiped it down paper napkin. Set it in the sun till dried. Went the the garage hung it on the garage door and opened the door and hit it with the polyurethane. Added pix of my burner bought it in 74 !

Nice work, I guess to each his own, I don’t find mine a problem. Having a lathe and knowing how to use it opens up a world of opportunities for sure.

@Savagefox Just checking in. Have you made any progress in figuring out what works for you or if your GK1 is actually having issues?

We’re about to see. RMAC starts tomorrow. EBR is in October. IMHO those are the only two “majors”. There are “minors” such as PAC and Oregon, but neither draw the equivalent level of competition as the “majors”.

thoughts on the Vevor budget compressors with built in converter?
