There's been times I've dialed for wind but it was only because the wind wasn't switching, so coming from one direction, and target was at a fixed distance.

I think this is the only time that dialing for wind is the preferred method… something like F-class, where you’re shooting a fixed distance and have a rather constant wind.

Other than that, dialing for both elevation and wind is surely inviting Murphy to the party.

No. I`m not even sure it is 100% British made. 2008 production year, so maybe Turkish licensed? Any how - it shoots good, feels good and the stock are well made, even compared to one of his Turkish walnut wildcat brothers......( )

This thread is about a Venom tuned Tomahawk rifle not standard factory versions and is why I asked.

Working on a design for a carbon fiber barrel shroud. Next I need to figure out the cutout pattern for the shroud. The monopod that I made is almost finished. I am also installing an adjustable carbon fiber cheek riser and installed a a carbon fiber grip. Almost ready to go shoot it.

Set the Huma to 150bar. Filled it yesterday and after cooldown was cylinder read 230bar. Checked 12 hours later, 230bar.

Fired a 9 round magazine with my cheapo Chinese chrono hanging on the moderator.
All between 877 and 881 FPS
JSB Exact Diablo 44.75gr. 8 rounds at 25 yards essentially hole-in-hole and 1 I pulled due to the trigger.

9 rounds dropped the cylinder to ~205bar.

I'm good with that, not going to try to tune it any better. Do have to tighten up the trigger, just a touch and it fires. Looking in the manual need to lengthen the first stage (A screw) and increase the pressure (B screw).

Down side of that, have to pull the cylinder, take off the stock and turn the manometer enough to get a 2 or 2.5mm Allen to the B screw. I can test the trigger with the stock off, dry fire. Less than optimal design. It sure isn't an easy process like where the adjustments are right on the trigger assembly accessible from the outside.

Haven't decided if I'm keeping it or not. It does fill the .30 Bullpup(ish) slot.

Thanks for all the advice, an excellent rifle back to like new.

Nice AJ. As a heads up, I ended up sanding mine a little to make sure that the trigger linkage bar was moving freely.

With the stock added, can you run it at 12fpe in the UK?

No one really knows the answer when it comes to pistols turned into carbines, but as it’s available from Wolfiek with a stock at Sub12 i reckon it’s acceptable

I fired off a mag and the trigger seems fine, but if it plays up I know where to check first, cheers

I run chairgun on my laptop. Never tried it on my phone. I hadn't run AGN on my phone until recently but now I do it most of the time.

Well the good news is he does have 2 positive feedbacks from very active members of this forum so he seems legit as a seller.

I do not own a lathe but have occasional need for a new delrin top hat and spring guide. I’m able to reduce the OD on my drill press if slightly oversized so a generic fit could work. What would be a fare price for these given spring ID? Uj

When doing In-House tuning jobs ... A Custom fitted guide and Top Hat is @ $35

Why do you use 4 feet instead of the more common 3? I’d think 4 would be much more difficult to set up and level on different bench tops? Three feet are always faster to set up, especially on uneven and less than perfect surfaces. When you are shooting multiple card matches or are required to swap benches I don't want to be "that guy" who is always last to be ready.

They are having trouble with the web site and working to get the problem resolve. As for the mD, everyone has a problem getting in touch with him.

Last time I spoke to him his life had gotten a little crazy - personal stuff.

Thanks. Thought it might be something like that.

It's been cold and windy lately, 4 degrees low a few day ago, so I haven't been shooting much. I'll be using the new rear rest to test my newly rebuilt FX Royale as soon as I get a good day again. I typically only use the gun with a Harris bipod via the bipod stud. For once with this Royale I'll be able to tune with higher capability than previously due to a more consistent hold than before by using THE Endgame, YAY!!!

Well it says in other thread he went north on family emergency. But if that's all it was he wouldn't of had phone disconnected as he would just have to pay to have reconnected when he got back.. I'm betting he is no longer in business and has flown the coop leaving everyone holding the bag otherwise he would have let someone know or had someone running business while gone.

Yeah doesn’t look good as it appears the website is down as well. Will def follow this story for sure.

You might try giving this young lady a call or ask for Tommy Whitten.

Totally ridiculous... I know! But I couldn't help myself.

As far as the Chinesium compressors. I've been very lucky one lasted 8 months until I had to replace the piston seals. I noticed it slowed badly. Bumped up the inverter voltage . Worked again. Until it didn't.was the brushes in the motor. Bought the most god awful cheapo mid August. Took its motor, changed all gaskets and orings... Been running better than originally since August. I learned if you take the casing off it runs 15⁰c cooler. Used to get up to 44⁰c filling 500cc tanks from 135-250. Without the housing I rarely break 30⁰c. Water filters on both ends. Fills from 150-250 in a 500 in a out 6-7 minutes

Edit. For the most part they most appear to be the exact same components with the fan, motor, pressure gauge, bleed screw, and outlet air locations differed between them. I bought the "spritech", the larger one with 2 intake cooling fans and one large outlet fan. Most use the exact same piston. Of which there seem to be 2 different designs

If you sold an epoch for an evo was it really worth it ? If you own both is there honestly any point. I have an epoch and really am trying to talk myself out of an evo. The barrel thing doesn’t make sense to me as I’m pretty sure I can buy the newer style evo barrels for my epoch ?? I can put the higher power regulator spring in my epoch and I can put the evo bottle valve in it if I want. The evo is aesthetically more pleasing to me for sure but I’ve done some investigating and it ain’t much lighter. Doesn’t appear they shaved anywhere near the weight claimed in a few videos. Anything in my thinking flawed?? If you switched or own both is it really justifiable other than just wanting another one. lol.

Hi Trucker3573
I had thought about the Evo, but then decided to do everything you listed and have zero regrets

I do like the angled gauges of the Evo, but i prefer the easier access to the regulators on the Epoch

the slimmer profile is quite attaractive, but not enough to make me want to change.

Reckon I’m now 100% happy with the butt stock and grip set up, but I will revisit the scope/immersive again time soon, a 3x prism scope would be sweet tho

High pressure side of my regulator was leaking. I ordered an O ring replacement kit from Captain o Ring. Replaced the o rings and it’s still leaked. took the gun apart and replaced the high pressure side oring again and it’s still leaking. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dewy.

I have this butt hook that has always been a little small. It looked kinda added on to my HFT-500. So I have a larger one coming that has more adjustments and a wider face. It fits the contour of the stock .
So I mounted this little one on my 853. I think the size looks right. It’s not a giant thing hanging off the back. It feels nice and adds a little needed reach. I can see why it would be illegal in competition. I can literally hang the rifle between my shoulder and the shooting sticks and hold it on target. It definitely feels like cheating.

I lived in Chicago IL area for the first 67 years , enough was enough !

Don’t rule out a .20. Can’t remember the speed or ft lbs but a 13gr. JSB works well when placed in the head. Took 6 shots as one deflected on some brush. My New Years Day meal is in the frig!

Plinkalot said:

Accurate was a poor choice of words. They agree so there are inaccurate to the same degree.

What I was looking for was in the nature of what bcchannell posted about temperature/pressure loss over time.

My pressure difference from immediately after a fill to about 3 hours later is about 20 bar.

Click to expand...

Yeah, there's always a loss of pressure. The amount depends on temperature and pressure differentials.

It is what it is, I just try to top of the tank regularly rather that shooting it to the bottom of the fill.

A number of my PCPs have low volume, low pressure capability so I'm used to filling every 30 shots or so. The shot-count on my higher pressure bottle guns spoilers me.

Cheers!

Priceless!
