SHOW PICTURES. If you're asking for help diagnosing something we need to SEE it so relevant info can be given.

anyone use a thermal to try to see moles in the tunnels in your lawn ? MY lawn is infested .

Same at my friends place, at least where the grass is mowed it look like you can jump from one mole hill to the other.
In IR mode they look black where as everything else is some shade of grey.
I often sweep my scope over them but so far i have not seen any activity.

Also mouse holes all over the god damn place, and even some golf ball sized holes which i assume are rats.
How they do it i have no idea, at my friends place the ground water table are only 1-2 feet deep according to maps online.

Honestly mine is like a tank. Had it since 1987 and I've beat it up pretty good. It spent many a day in my backpack when I was young and spry. Just basic care, don't shoot slugs or lightweight pellets because mine will diesel with lightweights. It's a fun easy gun to shoot.

I’m sure your dies wear. When they do slightly bigger pellets are made. I exclusively use FTT IN EVERY CALIBER.

For the target shooters who want every pellet within a grain
make a hand picked tin lot. Charge a buck more a tin ,you will outsell them as fast as you can make them.

EXCEPT ,.30. None yet made. ( hint, sub 40 grain). I know demand is not there for such as most .30 guys are PCP SHOOTERS. PROVIDE me a pellet I’ll build the springer that does 40 + ft lbs. …… I’m working on two now with re shaped current selections 38 grains.

Oh yeah. Don’t ever stop making .20. legends never die.

WHY? Why not.

I would buy 10+ tins of .30 in the barracuda match if they would make them. Pretty much all I use in .22 and .25.

A lot depends on the power you are trying to push the pellet with. From such a short barrel, anything over 700-750 fps will have a bark to it. There is not alot of internal baffling to direct the air back so it has to go somewhere. With the reg around 90-100 bar, start trying to back out the hammer spring till you get an acceptable shot report if you do not have a chronograph. Keep the trabsfer port on 22 as the larger opening will only slow the velocity down as the air has too much volume to fill before it starts down the barrel. Low chokes it down too much.

Are they real? Ive been waiting quite a while on some parts that just says “ shipping label created” curious to see if anyone has dealt with them.

There are other AEA dealers also, https://www.aeaprecisionairguns.com/ https://www.bing.com/images/search?...6A1E2FB117&thid=OIP.JBqDdgYT5T51m3vzzM4u0QHaD

could be i don't have the 1/16 liner in it I'm using the 1/18 superior heavy it like these AEA 32 and 30g along with H%N 32G
i have a new 1/16 in the tube buy don't dare touch this one it shoots so good

You're a stronger man than I. I call it the FX Itch (to tinker when not needed). Absolutely no need to fix what isn't broken.

We always ship these guns with the stock off and separate. It has nothing to do with saving shipping cost.

If the gun gets hit butt first hard the stock will split at the grip. Much like a Marauder, or Cayden. There is too much weight from the action when assembled.

We take all precautions so you get a gun thats not harmed during shipping.
The factory boxes and molded foam are none obtainable.

The boxes are easy to find and get that way as well breaking the gun down as that .

My cleaning rod feels like my 22 700mm slug liner is like yours. There's less choke on the slug liner iirc. Depending on the pressures you run it may or may not obturate the projectile to fit the bore. Pellets for sure do this. Way back when they were smooth till the last couple inches. Being over analyzing and unable to leave well enough alone myself, the best thing I can say is that if it shoots well don't mess with it much or worry much. We are in a different world with fx stuff. Liners, and impressed rifling vs button or cut rifling is a whole other thing, as are liners that some people take issue with(especially if they're from powder burner world previously like me). I wish you the best of accuracy with yours.

So I ended up making the purchase on the arken sh4j genII and I love it so far it’s a beautifully made well built scope. Hopefully I can get it mounted on my barra 250z today because my gun comes today as well I’m super excited I’ll post some pics and info later or tomorrow. I’m south eastern pa and of course it’s raining today so we’ll see. My luck

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!
I own 3 Arken SH4-J 6X24X50 scopes.
Many folks complain about the reticle being too faint at low magnification. They suit my needs perfectly since I shoot long range and the magnification is never set to less than 12X anyway. It's a fine scope for $320 with lifetime warranty.
I've seen a few reviews with the 250z shooting long range and it seems to do okay. Tuning and the right pellet can get you where you wanna be.
Good luck!

Jerkeejoe · Dec 17, 2024

So, I got my compressor and filter set up today. It will have a permanent home in a more convenient place later, but here’s what I came up with. Compressor to Brancato filter to bleed valve to fill whip.

I think I’m going to add an on off valve after the filter and before the bleed valve so that I can keep the filter pressurized in case I’m filling several guns in a row. That way I don’t have to wait for the pressure to build up in the filter between guns.

I have seen a few Youtube videos about tuning. They were all for rifles I do not own, but I think I can still apply the principles. I would like to go over my understand of what I have learned and hope some of you will correct me if I am wrong.

Rifles I own
Umarex Guantlet 2 SL 30 (Hammer spring adjustment only but I am sure Hajimoto can hook me up)
Umarex Zelos (regulator and hammer spring adjustment)

For this example lets assume I am tuning the Zelos to a lower than stock pressure for more shots per fill.
1 Set the regulator pressure at whatever pressure I want to tune to.
2 Back out the hammer spring significantly
3 Gradually increase the hammer spring tension until 2-3 increases in tension do not result in greater FPS

That's all I can do without a more adjustable rifle like the FX right?

bchannell said:
You've got the idea, but as stated, when you find the peak or plateau, you then back down the hammer, 3-5% in velocity to get you on the knee. You can almost always hear your gun change it sound. When air is blowing out the barrel after the pellet leaves it will be loud and grouchy, but when you turn the hammer back, and reach the point you are no longer wasting air, it will quiet down to a pfffft!. It's harder to say than it is to hear. That sound is a good indication of efficiency.

A good example is the FX Impact. They have so many adjustments, that you can easily get a bit lost. It's easy to just start over. But when you get it right, the sound on mine changes dramatically, and I know, I'm there.

Just starting to learn the fine points of tuning - used my Nates Chrony for the first time with promising results. Haven’t touched hs yet - actually have new springs coming after reading postings here. A wealth of information for all levels of experience - as I am a mechanically challenged beginner (at 80) I am especially grateful. Thanks.

jkingrph · Dec 5, 2024

Not a bad Idea. I upgraded my triggers probably 3-4 years ago and got them adjusted to my liking, so no need for that. I did some other things like got one of the aluminum sideplates, a wider roller type trigger, I think that's all I cannot remember everything at this point.

Thanks for the reply, I wish you good luck with trying to up the velocity, so far I haven't talked to anyone that has tried to rebuild or tune one of the Bone collectors, I bought mine new about six years ago, my adult son is into air guns and he liked the looks of mine and bought the second generation Swarm Bone Collector, it shot ok but didn't deliver the promised velocity or accuracy advertised, so he traded it in at New England Air Guns for a PCP rifle.
One other friend on another air gun forum bought one and was disappointed with it's performance, when he sold it he mailed me a couple of his extra 10 shot magazines.
As I said I keep mine for pesting and small game hunting, at 17~18 fpe its plenty powerful enough for that use, it's not the most accurate air rifle I own but for anything 35 ysds. or under it's good enough, what does make it shine is the 10 shot magazine, in the woods hunting one magazine in the rifle and a spare in a pocket keep you from having to fumble with pellets with half frozen fingers or dropping a bunch of pellets on the ground.

My Gen 2 Bone Collector needs 5.55mm headed pellets. Smaller ones are too inaccurate.

I wonder if it could be disassembled, and corrected?

Just rotate it 180°, it will be right side up!

O.D. is 37.5mm , I.D. is 31.95mm.

I was just wondering if they would be 40mm like another Bullet Project airgun, Taipan II.

I had to do that when I ordered a bunch of 853s. I thought that was wierd as well. But the check was sent somewheres else. Not my local CMP.

Probably went to Ohio by Camp Perry. Once they started letting Dealers buy the rifles, I stopped dealing with them

We would like to congratulate the new Dutch champion in the 100m airgun benchrest Mr. Bert Vellen.

Dutch championship is make from 6 matches for the 100 meter and the 4 best results count for the title.

Mr. Vellen win all 6 matches. 5 of them winning with the Krale sponsored FX Panthera and ATP King 40gr 5.52mm slugs and one with Drummen Sinner .223 airgun.
Also with Panthera and ATP King slug set a new Dutch matchrecord of 309 points. The total number of points of 1221 over 4 mathces was also a record.

Once again we congratulate him on a great end of the season and thank him for excellent representation of our slugs and his shooting skills.
The same slugs used by Dutch Champion can be found hire:

marflow 777 · Dec 4, 2024

an interesting question
and yes you are right parts are disappearing, new valve stem sometimes does work with an old valve
i tell people to not touch the valve at rebuild time before you replace the tube and piston head Orings
of course, if you know the air is leaking out the barrel than you have no choice and that is where the gun could be in trouble because you may never get it to stop leaking
as you know the pistol can leak from three places
the valve to the barrel
the valve stem out the stem
and the tube Oring at the valve
and the only way to find the leak is with a bowl of water and pressure in the cylinder, kind of a 3 handed job
so would i leave it cocked, no i don't think so
would it hurt maybe the springs
it is a 50-50 call in my thinking, i have never read anyone doing it and if that was true ever SSP should be done that way if they could be
the daisy is not like most of the rest of the SSP in the trigger group
i will say it again a good question

I went with the vortex tactical 6x24 and liked it so well I put another on my other pcp.
