Cost after Initial Investment vs PB's any day. Thats what I like the most IMHO...for all thats worth anyways

Nice

I hand pump both of mine. Very easy with approx twenty strokes to refill after 10 shots. If you shoot it lower in pressure, it’ll take more strokes.

Took my intermittently leaking rpa apart the other night to see what makes it tick.
Nothing noticeable but have to do again , this time replacing o rings.View attachment 547681View attachment 547682

can you spot where exactly does that leak air from ?

because the air-tube connection to regulator has a very very intricate design, and that is the place most prone to damage o-rings.

there must be a vertical hole on the tip of the regulator, where it goes into the air tube.
if that hole has some sharp edges, it might have damaged the internal o-ring, just enough to leak intermittently.

(when we are talking about o-rings in these kind of intricate designs, in such small geometries, carrying those kind of pressures; even tiny micro-scratches might matter.)

Yes! the stock Motörhead uses it money. I get mine from XLR industries. Very well made. Tons of adjustment and two different length of pull options upon ordering. Awesome set up. Also Ergo grip 90 degree. Nice and fat for big hands. Good wrist placement.

Interesting thread, lots of good information. I appreciate the experience here!

I've got a pretty good supply of those. They're good shooters.

They're stupid expensive. I have a tin I bought to try on pests in lieu of wadcutters. Never used but a few of them for accuracy testing. Very accurate pellet in my rifles

from what I have seen working on this gun once you get to about 100psi nothing moves I think the orings push to the side and grip it will be free to flex back and fourth air pressure hits it goes rigid I checked all the fit diameters and bores and there is about .007 interference for the orings. Im a retired machinist and I myself would give them twice that and see if you can get it together you can always remove material it complicates things that mid section that the gauge screws into is so short so it flops around I had this gun apart many times thats the only place I had leaks . My first pcp I have had several spring guns I will be getting another pcp very fun to shoot. Yes the dar gen 3 looks very similar to the Airacuda

Wow, impressive air rifles. I've long wanted a Walther, but it's hard to find a used one. So I recently bought the Crosman Challenger 2021 just to kind of stick my toes in the water, and I'm really enjoying it. Time to start looking for that Walther again.

Your rifles are truly incredible.

I'm more worried about the arrow shaft being the durable part. If they aren't caught in a suitable target then at the speeds they travel when hitting anything hard they can't be reused. Any tip works. Broadheads for ethical hunting should be sharp but fruit doesn't care.

Yep. Blueprint the stock probe and call it a day. Then focus on stuff that really matters.

10p coin due to a rogue pellet... next time 5p

I just got another one. 2 came in and were sitting out about 45 yards. nailed one and the other one ran to the next state. New video dropping soon

Nice. That's great they squeezed 8 rounds in the magazine.

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know you had a channel. Some great info in those videos. You really get those krals to sing

I am really looking hard at the Kalibrgun Cricket 60 in 30 Caliber and was wondering if anyone has been hunting with one.....Crows, woodchucks or anything for that matter and if so, how do you like it, carrying weight, accuracy, holding zero, etc.
Thanks

The only thing you have to "worry" with these guns is the weight. Other than that they shoot amazing in all calibers and all models.

The 717's aren't worth $150 in my opinion. Bought one from a different auction site for $51 a month ago.

When I used to coyote hunt and call a lot Ive had owls almost take my hat off a couple times. Scares the crap out of you cause usually dont see or hear anything until they brush by you. This was using mouth calls, have had Grey fox almost run up in my lap also.

That will get your blood pumping!

A springer in competition is the gun and a tin of pellets , not all the paraphyla PCP require . For practice in your yard its grab gun /grab pellets , go out side . shoot for the 15 minutes you have to spare .

That is a beautiful gun right there.

My top 3 moderators from best to least are below.

STO Sarissa
STO Falx/IA-1350 with 2 additional baffles

STO does a great job but with the Falx andIA-1350 it’s tough to pick which one is better. It sounds like they reduce the noise the same but the pitch is different. On my Maverick and Panthera Hunter Compact, the Falx has more of a thump with air compared to the IA-1350 which sounds more like a snap/slap. I think it’ll vary person by person to choose which one is louder.

Nice gun and great shooting ................................. If it was mine i would put wood grips and check rest on , but as a hunter no wood .

The grip has side panels that slide in. They would look sweet in wood. But that’s not popular with all the Buck Rodger guns nowadays.
