I ordered a small picatinny rail to mount my atlas bipod and a DonnyFl Shogun to make her back yard friendly. She cracks like a rimfire without a moderator. I am temporarily sharing a Fatboy from my W/C .22

That tool looks like a must have. I never really cared for the cheap spanner that came with my AF.

Don’t pay attention a lot to that side of the league. How are the dodgers doing ? Should be awesome with that pitcher that has that obscenely high contract. The one with the interpreter making bets for him err I mean stealing his money

However that does sound like an awesome day for sure. Maybe not for the neighbors if you did the stripping while on the front porch.

Go TIgers. Maybe we will see each other soon

Wonderful examples! I feel more comfortable shooting the guns with patina. Really nice ones are often just for show and tell, kept in pristine condition for the next curator.

Two each FWB rifles and pistols were purchased, looking good but knowing they needed work. I spent the money sending them out to be resealed and respringed so I could shoot them. They still even being over 50 and 60 years old look pristine.

I did some lead testing on a target 8 pumps in the green marks, 7 pumps in the black marker, 10 pumps on the orange arrows. 13.43gr JSB, the 12gr Apollo slugs are a no go. I tried off target first
10m benched, I blame the Caldwell Matrix for the shift off target. If shooting with the lawyer spring in , best to pull up the 1st stage slack, then follow through, otherwise one feels a few bumps on the final release.

Sac Sam, Your videos are getting better all the time. Great job, really enjoyed it. Please keep it up!

Cool upgrade, I will be interested to see what your fps and shot count numbers look like.

Pre-regulator, my .22 CondorSS has been achieving shots at low/mid 900's velocity and 52-3 #'s energy and set on #4 wheel, with so far 20 shots without noticeable decreases in velocity or energy (NOTE: I have not pushed past that mark due to time constraints)...PSI originally set at max 3000PSI on original bottle, and extremely accurate at 30-50 yds. When the weather cools, I will try 75/100yds. So far, for me I find that pretty darn good. I'm shooting a mix of JSB Exact Jumbo Monster redesigned deep and shallow (cannot tell the difference) 25.39gr pellets. I am using a new to me Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph. Post regulator report will be a while yet before it is installed due to other activities, etc. I really enjoy shooting my springers and my air guns! Best past time ever.....

I know and do understand that the 9mm/.35 is not a populaire caliber for the Raw HM1000x but people do shoot them in a RAW and was wondering would there favourite pellet would be and what is the heaviest pellet they use. Slugs is a no go that is for sure.
Must say that I am very happy with the performance of my Raw in .30 and .35 while not a very big power houses I am shooting paper at 100 and 150 meter and the 150 joules in .35 and 133 in .30 is sufficient to do so.

That the platform in.177 .22 .25. is great is true, I have them in al of those calibers.

I also recommend the Orion mags, they work great and you can get cool colors.

35 plus years ago I had a 52 in a 48 stock. I was a kid and abused it horribly and it never skipped a beat. Was accurate and reliable. I still have it in pieces in a box with plans on restoring it to its original glory days. Lots of good memories with the old girl.

I like my 25 caliber mini Raptor. I’ve never had any trouble with it.

Hi, I'm new to pcp air guns, coming from rim fire and centerfire it was challenging. The videos on YouTube and the information here are great, however, they did not work for my needs. I needed effective and high count shots, and as quite as possible for urban settings.
Here are my settungs
Reg: 80 bars
Vakve: 4
Marco: 2.5
FPS: average 850
Super quiet.
Tuned at 50 yards

Ceracote and spray paint are two different animals, besides, the ceracote is free on the Krait X in .30 so why not.

Pretty dope that it comes with it and it looks great. FDE is of course the most based of the single color cerakote options out there. Olive would be rad, too, though.

Can't write anything about the Uragan 2 but I have an Epic Two in .22 cal with a balanced valve and find it will shoot to a specific tune very well. When the Epic Two first arrived it was tuned very high, I suspect to be used as a slug gun, and I drained the air and turned the regulator down to 95BAR. Memory is a bit fuzzy but 18 gr pellets seemed to fly around 800->825ft/sec once the hammer spring was adjusted correcly. It has been shooting so well that an Epic Two Lite in .22cal has been ordered to run heavier pellets and maybe slugs: retuning a well shooting guns seems like such a waist.

I did weeks ago no response

And the same thing with lots of noise and low shot count if you have too much hammer mass and/or spring rate and not enough plenum pressure helping close that poppet valve.

I tend to suffer from not enough psi when my groups are wide open.

I should've clarified op. I know your mind.
I micro adjust obsessively. When the ref adjustment doesn't have a gauge to verify. And you cant adjust valve. Hammer spring is the entire ballgame and youre going to have to accept the optivelocity

Try using para cord to hang the cans up. They always return to zero until you eventually shoot the can off the string! More fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Just received this today Gamo Shadow Maxxim Tactical .22. Unboxed it, quick function test, scoped it up ( I always use Locktite wicking grade thread locker on all of the mount screws) and off to the range.
This thing is absolutely phenomenal. I was only able to get about 75 shots in today and it sighted beautifully and hit everything I was aiming at. The Gamo scope is pretty good and the trigger is nice as well.
There's a lot more work to be done but this may very well be a new favorite.
PS I was using Benjamin 14.3 gr pellets.
PPS the pellet tin the photo was shot three times consecutively at thirty yards. The soupcan dot at 15, just for fun.
A great little rifle. Nice job Gamo!

I will try later ,microsoft screwed my picture posting,I blame them as I did not ask them for a update.....

I am shooting AEA 45s at 890-ish but can't get the 50s above 840. Did you raise your reg pressure to get them up to 880? I already have 2 washers on the HS.

Click to expand...

No, I have an extended plenum. The reg is still at 145bar as stock. I don't want to raise the reg, because it will eventually make the shot cycle harsh and not be conducive to long distance accuracy.

I don't have the drill press attachment, so I freehanded indeed. With the plastic plug it's rather easy, but freehanding won't work on metal I'm afraid.

If you "peened" the hole pins will stick. If the pin hole is not flat bottom and you push on them, they will stick in the drill point at bottom of hole. Hitting with plastic malett should be on the open side (moves reciever and pins stay, just like banging on table should be the open side to make pins drop).

I only have one AEA pcp, Challenger 357 standard and have only had 1 O-ring let lose in 4 years. shoot great and very reliable but heavy, and for good reason safety. 340 fpe with 214gr
