Newbie self introduction

Thanks for the info! So far, I've gotten everything from Pyramid Air. Super happy so far. I have tried H&N, Crossman, and RWS. Now I need to try JSBs. Question: if you could only keep one, would it be the R9 or HW50s? Just looked at Flying Dragon... oh geesh, I think I might be in trouble. lol
That's a tough one lol. HW50s in .177 cal. is lighter and easier to cock, shoots flatter within 25 yds. The R9 in 22cal is heavier and a little stiffer to cock,has a little more knock down smack, and is less hold sensitive due to it's weight. I'd have to pick the HW50s

Another newbie looking at .30 PCPs

Airforce guns are very well made and made here in the USA . They are cost effective if you are just getting into pcp shootings. But if you want to go all in on a gun that will shoot right out of the box and is very adjustable look into the FX Panthera or FX Dynamic in the 600/700 mm barrels. Way more money but there is no comparison in accuracy in my opinion. I have guns made by both and enjoy shooting them all .

FX gauges , original or alternatives?

While I can't state that they're justified, I can state that the Sekhmet electronic gauges are easy to use, and I have had zero issues with the 28mm diameter ones on both of my Impacts. I only use them on the final regulator, not the bottle or mid regulator though.
Charging is the only thing to remember to do, but each charge lasts a long time, like months. Easy charge with the USB cord, takes about 45 minutes from low to full charge.
No matter if I get another rifle, I will add a Sekhmet gauge to it, if that helps you.
I know that there are less expensive offerings out there but have no experience with any of those.

OEM on mine are all Wika/FX. I don't know that anyone makes a better gauge than Wika.

Looking for Maglite flashlight parts...

I had a 4 D cell maglite with same issue but it had Duracell or Energizer batteries in it and apparently they had some contract that if used with those brand batteries they covered it. So they sent me a new light. Since all the advancements it just sits now ununsed these days. I should probably remove the batteries lol.
Theres still a small group of people who love and use the maglites. Has to be parts floating around, even if from Aliexpress. Find some flashlight forums, probably have better luck.
I have a 4D size and replaced the bulb with an led one . Super bright and uses little battery juice .
You might look in Garage sales i see then there for little money .

What is your favourite valve?

I like Joe B's slow fill valves, but I bought a Saber Tactical valve (with the thread adapter to M18x1.5 too) for my 9L Acecare tank and I really like it - although it had a leak I had to fix when it arrived; fortunately I tested it on a spare 500cc bottle I had first and fixed it before the first fill of the big tank.

The Saber Tactical has a nice built in carry handle on top, which works great for the heavier tanks like the 9L and 12L. Personally, I like the valve and fill assy to be all integrated in one unit (like on Joe's and the Saber) - I don't like the units that hang off to the side at all. The ones that hang off to the side make sense as an add on for something like a used firefighter tank that already has the CGA vavle on it, but it one needs to get a valve for a new tank, the all in one units are hard to pass up.

The Saber Tactical only comes with one gauge, but includes a built-in dead head to test pressure. I prefer two gauges, with one always reading tank pressure, but I accepted the compromise for the nice integral carry handle.

Here's a link to the Saber Tactical valve for more info or pictures. https://sabertacticalinc.com/products/tank-valve-st0031

Shot placement for .177!!

My favorite body shot is the offside shoulder. Drops them just as reliably as a brain shot in my experience. No risk of a deflected path like can happen with a shoulder shot. Worst body shot for DRT results (other than gut shots) are front of chest going lengthwise through the squirrel. Seems to get one lung but not both. I have had two run after this placement with a 32 fpe 25.

Umarex  Zelos Trigger improvements / mods?

I know for a fact that 2 different guns made by the same can shoot different. My 1st Zelos had a smoother trigger than the 2nd one , and the cocking was much smoother as well. I got mine set set as a long first stage ( I hate a rifle to shoot when I barely touch the trigger) I pull back to that stop then a gentle squeeze fires it.

Kalibrgun  ARGUS 60 -- .30

I do not condone yesterday's negative conversation. I removed all my input that wasn't productive, and I offer an apology to anyone who may have viewed the transaction.
@Ricochet We're good. The thread remains focused upon the Argus and the OP's experience with it.

Winter Projects? Let’s see em!

I got a stupid idea last night. And those are the worst because they nag and nag.
So the 499b is the world’s most accurate BB gun. How about a target stock with an adjustable cheek piece, butt hook and plan rest? Maybe laminated wood.
I can’t make a stock I have no skill or tools. But I could hack up an existing stock to fit the 499 frame. Maybe a rugged 10/99 stock. They are inexpensive.

Huben  buckrail unf on huben gk1 25 cal

I just wanted to come on here to give a shout out to Terry from buckrail. I am so shocked that this little $30 25 cal moderator made my gk1 mousefart quiet on full power!!! At first when i shot it in my house i didnt think the mod was doing too too much. I noticed i was wrong when the next shot i made without the mod left my ears ringing. Today was the first day i used my gk1 outside and i have to say i am so so so happy with this mod. This thing literally made the gk1 sound like a toy outside. Im sure DonnyFL's are great but i could never see myself spending hundreds on a moderator while something this cost effective and sufficient is on the market. Buck Rail seems to be one of the only companies looking out for the less fortunate who want to indulge in this hobby. Figured i would post this so future GK1 owners know that this is a great addition to the gun. Once again thank you Buck Rail!

Twist rate air venturi avenger 22

Coloque un parche de tela ajustado alrededor del cepillo y vuelva a intentarlo.

No tan ajustado como para que el cepillo no pueda moverse por el cañón, pero lo suficientemente ajustado como para que no se resbale al girar.

Realice la medición varias veces para asegurarse de que la precisión sea constante dentro del 5 por ciento.

No habia pensado en lo del parche de tela, muy buena idea. Muchas gracias, lo pondre en practica.

Skout  Skout Evo Scope Rail Question.

AFAIK the PM2 has 26 mils of elevation travel total so if bottomed out 26 mils up is all that's there, not including using the reticle for additional hold overs, or perhaps in conjunction with a wedge prism.

Putting 40gr Altaros Kings at 950 fps my app shows 21.8 mils for 400Y so I'm assuming 40 moa of scope angle/base combined with cantilever should be 11 mils or so of compensation.

Anyway that's cool shooting so far out just dialing and having enough down to sight in at 38Y!

It's part of the reason I got my March Genesis so I could do ELR using a normal zero because it has 86 mils of travel.
My bad ... scope was not in front of me ... was thinking 25 mil per rotation x2 :rolleyes:
Looking at scope it is 14 mil per rotation x2, tho not a full rotation on second time around ... yea @ 25 mil you can dial in from zero'ed

Revere stock gauge plug removal

Blackdog,
You’re gonna need to go to at least 140 bar on the regulator to get decent power.
The shot count will be …. What Ii will be :unsure:
Yeah Ive been from 150 to 120 bar . 150 gives 14, 15 good shots with H&N field target trophy 20.06 at 900fps
ran out of those pellets and have been testing with various others.

Biggest advantage from regulator so far is consistency from shot one till it drops off reg. With no regulator speed would build for the first ten shots . Then it would still climb slower for another 6 or 7 and then start falling .

Huben  Huben GK1 Problem

A couple of things...

The 25 and 22 tends to have "jamming " issues with certain pellets and slugs. With pellets, particularly in the 25, anything heavy and too pointed can move too far forward in the magazine. With slugs, anything fitting too loose in the magazine will allow them to move forward enough to cause the jamming.

The other "jamming" issue with the semi auto is when the cylinder air pressure falls below what is required for proper and complete cycling of the action. The only fix for this is for the operator to pay attention to the pressure.

Have ypu tried any long, heavy slugs in your 177 yet?
yeah I don’t let it go below 10mpa,
I do have some 10grain zan’s slugs,
which I have not tried yet because of cold outside.
I am just using 7ish grain for 5-10 meter indoor shooting.

FX  Are expensive PCPs worth it?

I didnt say accuracy. If you like that pcp, that is great, I do not myself., it also lacks a good magazine, nice trigger and being lightweight.
