Some nice bushy tails.

Jay, at Maple Custom just sent me a picture of the finished poppet. He also suggested I wait until the middle of next week to place my order to see how the tariffs work out? Time will tell.

Thanks for watching brother

I believe it was set at 135b when I picked it up and H/S was 16 and 3.5? I now have it set at 120b, 16 and 2.5 shooting the 34gr FX pellets about 900fps. I'm still trying to tweak it to find the best combination of accuracy and shot count.

What was the reg pressure from the factory on your .25 Leopard? If you dont mind share your Micro and Macro settings as well. I have a 30 but was curious if the average reg pressure is really 10-15% higher since it has a smaller plenum.

Thanks all for sharing experiences. I need a lot of practice to catch up with you guys!

Currently 7.0 gr pellets seem a bit hard to find.

I ordered some directly from Zan. Fast shipping through DHL. Can’t wait to start testing them.

I have two. The one on the side porch is for left handed shooters like me. It is made of refined pieces of 2x6s. The top is glued up and the legs are doubled thicknesses glued together. It got primed and painted with house paint and is holding up great. There are adjustable feet on each of the tree legs so the wood does not contact the cement of the porch.

My other bench is lighter so more easily portable. The top is 3/4 plywood and the legs are pieces of 3/4 water pipe. I cut tapered pieces from a 2x4 to splay the 3 legs. A pipe flange is mounted to the 2x4 pieces so the legs screw on and off. I cut pieces of PVC pipe for the legs to snap into on the underside of the top during transport. This bench is on the back porch for right handed shooters.

I use a Harbor Freight rolling mechanics stool with both benches. I added some wood blocking to the one on the side porch to raise it up where it's more comfortable for me.

You've tried the open sights and a red dot and still cannot zero. Sounds like something wrong with the pistol. I assume that it is new so I'd try for a warranty replacement. Otherwise, I 'd check assembly of the pistol to see whether the barrel is set properly.

I bought a can of "Corrosion X" lube, I think it was recommended at one point by Scott. Seems to work fine but I think it's best not to just spray it on the assembled stack as I have done a time or two. It needs to be a light film, in other words. I also find this area to be the trickiest to lube correctly. I also found out the hard way that not putting any silicone grease on the sides of the chamber to help the O-rings slide smoothly as the regulator opens and closes isn't good. On the other side of things the regulator of my Caiman had the spring stack encased in silicone grease when I got it. That didn't work well either. Light silicone grease on the O-rings and the inside of the chamber the washers are in and a little lube/corrosion guard for the washers has worked for me well so far.

This is what Mike Schultz won for his pellet rifle efforts. Two! AR250 rests with engraved N50 side plates.

Opinions offered without firsthand knowledge or experience, are not only invalid, but irrelevant.
As the owner of three of the options I listed, I can say, without a doubt, that the Manop stock, at a near equivalent cost to my Tom West stock, is hands down, the better balance of price, fit, finish and function that I’ve experienced so far.
Caveat emptor

Actually not horrible pricing. However the ones that come with the filter are easily refillable with desiccant

that is a lot of added height as the front sight is high to start with
if it works it works

Thank you for the report. Very nice course BUT very, very , very long to walk.

I also remember that, interesting idea , I'm not into making noise but thought that same set up to flash an LED would be cool , maybe in a KYL configuration ?

I think the pubs in England are doing just that now.
Some patrons do not like the ringing sound.
Easy enough to do..

The Night Eyes GL-300R is a reflector based light and the beam will fill the FOV of your scope.

To my understanding Airetex is no longer in business. Alkin has taken their place. It’s where Airetex users get their parts and service. Look at the year on the bottom of the webpage linked in the quote. Several threads support my claim. Below is a link one. Search the threads and you can easily find others making similar claims.

Airetex Compressor

It appears that Airetex is no more. I have been unable to contact Airetex for several weeks and drove by their location to find an eviction notice on the door. No response to emails or phone calls. Hopefully Alkin can supply any needed parts in the future.

Bruce Dodson, the owner of Airetex, as far as I know quit producing/ selling any compressors in about 2016. His compressors were pretty much just rebadged Alkin compressors. I don't know how much was engineered by Airetex but the compressor, filters, etc. were all Alkin. The equipment he sold was good quality and for me at least convenient as his shop was only 5 miles from my home.
I think he still sells compressors but mostly Chinese imports, good products but not at the same level as the Alkins.
I can say , I am not disappointed with my purchase as i would have spent much more than the price of the compressor by having to rely on paintball/scuba shops for air.

No, only ragged holes.

I recently received a 4-16. I currently don’t have a gun for it but I temporarily mounted on a gun. I like everything about it except two things. I wish a throw lever was available for it. And I agree with @bchannell 100%. You can tell when you are getting close to 16x that you crossed over into what the optics are capable of. It’s not so bad that you have to avoid max magnification like some scopes, but it’s also not like like let’s say my Sightron S-Tac where there is no difference in clarity on max. But let’s consider price. The Veyron is worth its price. You get exactly what you paid for.

I have a throw lever on my 6-24 Veyron, I’m not at home to see what it is, but will post it when back in town next week.

I have the old style and cut a piece of brass rod to take the place of the hammer spring. I screw the adjuster in and it pushes on rod which pushes the valve open and degasses it. Could use any kind of rod to do it.

Good idea, kind of like the Marauder degassing rod.

Can you tell me if you use a .177 pellet seater tool? Not looking for a pellet pen type loader, just a pellet seating tool.
If you have one, did you make if yourself?
How did you make it?
If so, can you please post some pictures of it.

If you purchased one, could you please post some pictures and comment on how you like it.
Thanks

Thanks to all that responded, a lot of very good ideas here!

Update, how do you delete stuff? Ive decided theres no need to start a dumpster fire out of some garbage so i was going to delete this but i can't. So I guess it'll be here incase anyone made 100 fpe monster and changes my mind.
Wondering if anyone has swapped the neutronstar barrel and bt65 air tank to the flash like montana airgunner and what kind of improvements it's made? Is it worth putting $200-$300 into a $300 gun?

I bought a 9L Air Marksmen bottle from another member on the forum and have been on a journey to figure out how to fill it. It all finally came together tonight!

I have access to a Scuba tank fill system at work, but I couldn’t figure out what fitting I needed to make it work. After digging around on the forum I discovered that I needed a “scuba to fin filler” adapter. I ordered it on Amazon and put it to the test today. Everything worked great, I was able to fill my 9L bottle to 300 bar in about 10 minutes (including figuring out how to use it .

According to the online calculators, I should be able to fill my Karma EQ’s 520cc tank about 17 times from full to empty. Should keep me shooting for a while until I can fork out the dough for a compressor at home.

Let it cool and refill it. Seems like every time I get my carbon tank filled it drops about roughly 500 psi when it cools. I hate it because the scuba spot is so far away from my house and those 500 psi matters when I’m in the middle of nowhere lol

Hardening of the O-ring at the small end of the regulator’s piston is a result of thermal stress. For adjustable regulators, the same occurs with the O-ring on the adjuster screw.

An elastomer with better high-temperature properties will last longer. Viton, or its generic material callout FKM, is a good example.
