Airforce - How to tune your AirForce Texan for max velocity with very little waisted air.

I frequently see airgunners talking about the confusing subject of tuning the Airforce Texan, so I thought it might be helpful, if I shared my process for "How to tune your AirForce Texan for max velocity with very little waisted air." Please understand that tuning your rifle for velocity is not...

That’s about all you can expect with short barrel and small air tube even with the ports enlarged to the max.

I'd start doing the check in, not sure how I got started with them

Just a note to the OP from personal experience of mounting a laser on a pistol. The only advantage of using one is short distance shooting. In that role the closer the beam is to the barrel center the more useful it is. The further the beam is from the barrel center, the more hold over/hold under is required. Mounting a laser at the bottom of the air tube on a GK1 will not be very effective. The PP700 SA has a milled dovetail on the side of the shroud. Using that as a mounting point allowed a 1/2" offset left. Anything more than that is problematic when shooting at a mouse size target. Jus saying.

Very nice! I started my airgun journey around 2019 with a Origin and now have a FX Panthera along with a few others.

What do you think of each so far? I also found out that I need an extended quick connect to fill the gun easily. My fingers are far too large to grab it easily.

I hit up the canal east of Everglades saw about 10 only got a shot on 2 and I killed 1. Do you know about the Matlcha Pass Aquatic Preserve?

Keep an eye out for the dens, some really good hot spots around them. Time of day will also play a big role. They aren't like the golf course iguanas, in that area it doesn't take much for them to hide/run.

I've been fishing off the bridge up there, but never for work. I try not to go more North than Estero.

Some of us are pragmatic.

COULD I blow a whole bunch of money and turn my very pedestrian GMC 1500 into a Baja 500 rig? Yes, but it would certainly be the hard and expensive way to go about it, and I still would be forcing a square peg in a round hole. If I truly had a burning desire to race in the Baja 500 there are better ways to go about equipping myself to do so.

For rimfire power levels and BC, a rimfire is the path of least resistance.

I didn't mention it in my previous post here, but volume shooting is another reason I love airguns. If you're buying high BC slugs you're talking $/shot. And if you're rolling your own you're talking time/shot. And "time is money."

To do it with an airgun just cuz you can? Sure. Knock yourself out.

The air gun slugs below are top of the line 150gr, 100 ct are still a lot cheaper then 150gr firearm of the same quality, 0 moa at 100 yards 2, 2 shot groups, the tape on the one ( 2nd pic) was just to mark the shot. Eyes are old,lol

The water district guy is already hunting them from a boat. They are glad to have the help, Wa law leaves us wide open since they are both invasive and destructive. A hunting license is required, that's it. I hear Thursday may be good weather. If I go W/O the kayak I need a dead nutria retrieval system, while I won't eat them, I will not leave them to rot either. I live here too! Maybe I can modify my drone in a tree retrieval system, a wrist rocket and a big Zebco closed face spinning reel. Shoot weight over tree branch, shake like crazy drone falls out of tree (most of time) need hooks for dead critters.

I've seen remote control boats and ones disguised as ducks for waterfowl retrieval. People will also use a fishing rod with treble hook. Dull the points and close the barbs to help prevent snags.

Finally got mine yesterday. Am really happy with it. I like how it has a lock on it so it won't get bumped and come loose

Order the parts to rebuild it yourself. I did and it's not hard. I also improved the flow of air by porting and polishing the replacement part.

I don’t know about warranty service, but I wouldn’t pay to ship a $30 hand pump. I will get by on it until I get something better.

I would not be averse to another el cheapo pump like that 4 brothers. All I can find after searching is a 4 uncles pump.

The available and affordability of PCP ‘s and equipment has gotten way, way better since I started fiddling around with pellet guns again.

I've noticed the same thing, so I'm looking to jump back in again. These discussions of hand pumps have me interested.

The size of the outlet from the Valve seat into the manifold on the restricted sub 12 .177 is around 1.3mm so as I couldn't match the valve seal contour I just chamfered it and then 2mm opening out to 5mm to get it near the barrel TP which is around 4mm by 6mm also much too large with a fillet across the centre so a compromise for testing, but it works very well!
So may make some other prototypes, but it seems that it's just the area/volume that is causing the FPS problems.

One area of confusion we notice at TopGun-Airguns is a lot of people have a hard time either describing, discerning, or determining various hose connections.
A lot of people get 1/8" vs. 1/4" confused, as well as BSPP/BSPT/NPT.

in order to help the forum members figure what each one looks like, here is a link to a page. Tap on any of the types of connectors, and a picture will show up.
For this to work, you WILL NEED TO choose 40" hose length (it needs that piece of information).

https://www.topgun-airguns.com/product/air-hose/

Let me know if this kind of information is helpful. And, if you know of a particular connector that you would like added, put it down below as a reply.
Thanks for keeping the thread "live" with your feeedback.

Thanks so much for this! Very timely for me, too!
I purchased a small Carette filter from you about 21/2 years ago (you did video with Target Forge on GX CS2) on this. Anyhow, the one way “entrance” valve, from the compressor, at the bottom of the filter is leaking and needs to be replaced. Can you advise what size is needed for this? Thanks in advance for your help!!
