N/A  Daisy 717 being bad

so i have many Daisy 7-7 pistols and rebuild all of them with great success they are easy to work on and for the most part a straightforward rebuild
i had one that was hard to get the large valve Oring to seal but solved that
i have one now that i was using as a test mule for a rear sight workup and as i have finished that project wanted to set in aside
i had replaced the piston head and valve large Orings and the pistol would shoot fine but as i test i found that it was leaking over time
apart it came and replaced both large Orings again and found that was not going to help
pulled the valve apart and the larger Oring was in bad shape and it is a 012 and put a 006 on the stem
the stem Oring is either a 005 or 006 both have the same CS
slammed the pistol back together and cocked pumped and fired sounded okay but the handle was out of adjustment that done my testing continued
cock and pump and dry fire sound okay but the valve has air left and that is impossible because the valve has been pulled open
cock, pump leave over night well it is not leaking but it is firing weak and you can cock it and fire again and even one more time
i shim the valve stem no difference
pulled it apart and see no problems

so, here is the question valve is clear no obstructions valve is not leaking but valve is not dumping all the air why is that

all i am going to change when i get them is the 006 Oring for a 005 and if that doesn't work i guess i will have a parts guns

N/A  New Notos

Doing the research for the best price on the guns we are looking for is not always the best way to go about making the purchase. We gotta do our due diligents. Customer Service should be near or at the top of the list. That's where these forums shine... real experience and knowledge from real people. I can't think of anything worse than receiving a defective gun and being sent to the abyss of contacting the manufacture to solve my problem.. "I didn't buy it from the manufacturer.. I bought it from YOU !! " Send me a brand new functioning gun and an RMA to return this one or send me a full refund including my shipping cost and the afore mentioned RMA. Actually IMO this should be a law. It leaves the door open for legal scamming.

What's your thoughts on the new FX DRS Tactical? Prices and lots of pictures here

I bought the .25 cal in 700mm. As a slug maker I primarily shoot slugs and the 700mm has the superior Heavy barrel for slugs. I will be shooting slugs at either 34 or 36 grain and although I’ll need to take the gun somewhat apart to tune it, I’ll only need to do that once and since the DRS Tactical already comes without the buffer tube and stock it’s already apart for tuning.
I already three Huben airguns: the GK1 in .25 and K1’s in both .22 and .25 so having a semiautomatic isn’t why I bought the DRS-T.
The plus points for me are the lightweight, the accuracy and the looks. I don’t have a PRS gun yet and I’m hoping that this will be my PRS rifle. Yes the DRS PRO is a true PRS rifle but it costs three times what the Tactical cost. I will definitely be using it for small game hunting as it is much lighter than my Huben .25 cal K1.
All the chatter that it looks too much like a PB doesn’t bother me at all, I really love how it looks. It’s bad ass and I know that it will be another one of my favorites to shoot.

FX 33.95 grain 25 caliber?

Why don’t you try the JTS 33.80? I tried JSB,FX,AEA,JTS all in 25 cal. 33. some grains, also I like to clean and weight all my pellets ( my choice 😬) however I found so many inconsistencies in weights from (JSB and FX) that wasn’t even funny, long story short I stared using JTS and AEA , they’re very clean and their weight is very consistent, I couldn’t believe it , any way give them a try , by the way I used them in my ( M3-Alpha W- EDGUN)
Be safe.

Crosman the drifter

Oh man all that extra stuff isn't necessary.extratoy these guys like to see how much power , and money they can spend Lol Anyway I have a stock Drifter I purchased Directly from Crossman. I was just at Wally world , and bought some Gamo Rockets for my Drifter. It's a great little gun , and works perfect as is. I figure if I'm pumping something up ten times I'm going to use some kick grass pellets to complement all that work Lol. I'm telling you it's a lot skinnier , and smaller than I thought it would be. It shoots great with open sights , so I left it that way. One thing I learned by trial, and error is removing the shoulder stock is easy just push in the pin , and pull down not back. I love how it shoulders with the stock , but I take it off , and keep it in the fold up pouch it came with. Now I'm not saying anything bad about these power builders it can be fun to spend money on it , and make it more powerful ect ect it's just not necessary. I never had trouble with the pump arm , or anything else. On it. I've only shot the Crossman red fire , but will try the rockets tomorrow.

N/A  Easy way to get regulator in the ballpark for a desired tune?

My P35s and Caiman also have internal regulators. I don't change the tunes often, I have never changed the reg on my P35-22 (too accurate). But when I do I just guess how much to move the regulator. I have to guess again, of course, but I can change the P35 in about q5 minutes so I don't see it as a big deal.

Penetration testing of slugs

The weather is nasty here today so no target shooting for me. I decided instead to test the penetration of a couple slugs my guns like. My Caiman X likes 21 grain H&N slugs and is tuned to shoot them about 920 fps. My P35-177 shoots 12.5 grain Nielsen slugs pretty well. It is tuned to shoot 10.6 grain pellets about 875 fps and shot the 12.5 grain slugs about 800 fps in these tests.

It was raining when I started so I tested penetration in mdf in the garage at point blank range. That was a bit of a mistake because I normally test at 25 yards. The 21 grain went through 3 .25 inch pieces of mdf and the 12.5 grain 2. But I then tried the 21 grain at 25 yards and a 10.6 grain pellet at point blank range. Both tests indicate I get through 1 more layer of mdf with either gun when testing at point blank range. So penetration of the slugs in this hard material is the same as pellets. I will include a picture of a 10.6 grain pellet and a 21 grain slug after going through the mdf. Both are pretty distorted.

I will also include pictures from the side and nose of the projectiles that went into the paper. The 21 grain H&N slugs expanded to about .265 and the 12.5 grain Nielsen did not expand. But the Nielsens left the muzzle at 800 fps and the H&N left at about 920 fps.

I found the 10.6 grain pellets in the 10th and 11th magazine. That's consistent with previous tests or a little less, probably because this test was at 35 yards and prior tests were at 25. The 12.5 grain slugs went through 9, 11, and 12 magazines. The 3 21 grain slugs went through 12 magazines. In prior tests the Caiman shot through 17 to 19 magazines with 18 grain pellets.

I do these tests to see if there is enough penetration for small game. I like to see about 10 magazines or more and got that. I would expect either slug to kill squirrels fine with the 21 grain dropping them a bit quicker.

RTI ARMS SHOP RETURN

Could also be they have some kind of holiday, my friend have a parcel from Mundilar, which was stranded in Spain Friday - weekend - Monday - Tuesday according to tracking number.

Right now in Denmark, schools ASO are on winter break for a week. but not aware if Spain have the same deal going at the same time, that would be amazing

DEAL-Bushnell Engage 2.5-10x44

I hope I have better luck with them as I have 3 because I like them and got great deals on them.I hope the great deals were not because of any problems,they are all new.
I going to mount them all on PCP rifles. Now I going to watch over them like a mother hen and make sure they work right.....
Big Companies buy other companies to get well-known brand names and then the qualitites go down Sucks!!

FX  Need ORing Help With FX Impact MKII AMP Regulator

Rather than rebuild the Amp in my Bobcat I opted to throw money at the problem and bought a Huma Air replacement. Much better, easy to adjust, easy to maintain.
I upgraded both regs on my M3 to HUMA regs. The HUMA Reg 1 for the tank seems more responsive and more consistent. The second HUMA Reg is not much different than the newer brass piston version of the FX Amp Reg 2 for the plenum, except the piston seal/seat (Delrin?) on the newer FX Amp is affixed to the end of the brass piston. If for some reason the seal/seat get damaged or dimpled, and needs replaced, the whole piston has to be replaced. On the HUMA Reg, you have a separate tiny seal/disc that you can flip over to a fresh surface and continue with a new seal. After the first flip to reseal, you can replace just the disc if a new part is needed, and the reg comes with a couple spares. Again, well-thought-out serviceability from HUMA.
