Looks like Weihrauch designed the stock.

Weihrauch translated to English means Weirdrock, or Weirdstock

Very true. I try to get a sighter in before every hunt. I shoot .177 so I typically have a ton of shoots to practice with.

Springers only, no PCPs.

way to go Rob.. great seeing you around.. yes I need to write you again..if I can find the disappearing PM messages
that wood will make you some nice handles..
we have madrone trees and I keep thinking if they could be dried without cracking it's some pretty wood.. lots of grain in burls..

Amazon hand pump? not for long, like 5 pistol tank fills $60

NYDWXYZ all you need if just filling a small gun tank. Noisy , slow , hot $200

Gx cs4i. Very nice , fairly quiet, slow , cool, fills 9 liter tank in one shot ( 5 hours ) $480

Tuxing TXED042 or similarly based . So far: heavy, very fast, relatively quiet, because fast will top off my 9 liter before it can get hot. $360

hi BD- are those the tall filters on your Gx4 set up ? Do they take long to fill before pressure builds ? or do you have some type of valve to keep them under pressure when disconnecting or restarting the unit Mounting set up looks good. S.

Definitely hits well above its price point.

Hatsan uses a threaded TP along with a weaker spring to adjust the power. The TP can be changed in the H135 I have.

The carnivore 130 I have has a tiny port for its power. It’s been enlarged.

It's amazing how well everything holds up when there is no Oxidizers

I 3D print stuff and the only possible issue I see with mounts would be the stability. I cant say for sure but I feel like dimensions will change with temp and moisture. I know temp will do it and filament absorbs moisture. Air guns dont have enough recoil to be an issue but the possible stability could cause poi changes day to day. Have you checked for poi changes from temp and humidity swings?

Click to expand...

No, I haven't checked that yet. I wouldn't use them to shoot a match either. I designed them out of curiosity whether it can work as a cheaper alternative or for the not too serious shooting work. I have an Air Venturi Avenger Bullpup that already gives a lot of poi shift problems from the factory using metal scope mounts. After placing two barrel bands, the poi shifts are largely fixed, but I still suffer from it every now and then. I am already used to the poi shifts and have learned to live with it. The first thing I usually do with a new shooting session is to immediately readjust my scope. There are so many other factors that can also influence this.

If you remove the rear pic rail there is a silver adjustment screw underneath that houses a spring loaded ball bearing. Turning it clockwise will increase the tension on the detent hole in the closed position. I recommend using some blue locktite once you have it set where you want. Mine tends to loosen over time and I will need to locktite the next time I adjust it.

You nailed that one. Thanks.

As such, when you are measuring the force exerted by the stack as it is slowly compressed, the output is no where near linear, but is a sawtooth with varying peak heights and valley depths.

This is why the stack may close off flow at a slightly lower than setpoint pressure (valley) or higher (peak).

I imagine if someone recorded the sound of a regulator cycle -- like with a direct to metal high-sensitivity and high dynamic range microphone recorded at 192K samples per second and 32-bits per sample (typical digital audio workstation setup on a home computer) and worked some audio magic on it, they'd be able to isolate the sound of the piston "eeeking" past the o-rings and also isolate the sound of the belleville washers making whatever sounds they make as they get compressed. I imagine that, near the end of the cycle, the bellevilles might exhibit "ticking" sounds.

That might be a fun project for a really, really, really bored audio engineer / musician that happens to have a PCP rifle.

On some shot strings I start to get a cloverleaf but it never lasts for all five shots.

That's exactly what happened with the 177 R7 I just did. Little glimmers of hope here and there but then hope was dashed on the rocks of reality when it threw number 4 and or 5 and >1" away at 25 yards scoped. Also changing pellet types often moved the POI 4-6" from the last type. Not sure if yours does the same.

I'm sorry yours performed as you suspected. I was hoping to hear differently.

Best of luck to you

EPG , I read where you open your bleed valve before shutting it down . I've been mostly doing that as well . Do you think the compressors with auto stop are wearing out faster because of how they stop under pressure ? My cs2 is quiet when stopping against pressure but the Vevor I had with auto stop had a loud clunk when stopping against pressure , after a few months use . That's when I stopped using the auto stop and would bleed off the pressure first .

I can understand, but all my efforts with this addy get me to a real estate agent. I think if Tim were in reality online, he would have found this commentary and responded. We have been hoping to see him back for several years.

Welcome. Ft Lostinthewoods sure has changed from my days back in the 1960s getting "ready" for my Combat Engineer job in RVN. I was sure glad to be gone from there. Hope you enjoy your retirement and shooting with air.

It has changed a lot since I first got here in 98! I retired in 08 but still contract for the GOV!

Ouch!
What is cool about this gun is it's the last of the receiver stamped date codes. Perhaps literally.
Serial numbered C's began in April of this same year.

Click to expand...

Yes and another good thing is that this gun has been everywhere with me. All my freinds and family have memories with it, through the years.

Another cool thing is that the serial numbered Silverstreak, (The Dumpster Queen) is one month older, being in the first month of serial numbers of the same year.

Hi All!
Do we have any Snowpeak M25 5.5mm owners in the group that have played with a Huma regulator? Im scratchign my head at the results im getting here....As far as i know the stock reg is set to 110bar on the high power models (not sub-12ftlb) but im getting less shots per fill and less performance than the stock regulator and i cant understand it. See results from all my testing below.

All testing done with JSB 18.13gr 5.5mm - 10 shots per pressure setting from a full air tank
Stock Regulator
======================
??? bar
970fps
(37 full power shots)
Huma Air Regulator
======================
110bar
860fps
(27 full power shots)

120 bar
890fps
(24 full power shots)

130 bar
900fps
(21 full power shots)

140bar
920fps
(18 full power shots)

150bar
940fps
(15 full power shots)

I have shown Huma Air this and they have decided to send me another regulator. So ill post results with that soon too. TIA!

yes what would it be to change the tooling to make AMBI loading ports ? (in the case of
Pro Sport ) actually thought of filing / grinding one

Click to expand...

It's funny, I've gotten so used to loading with my right hand, that the loading port on the left side of my lefty TX200 feels awkward because it forces me to use my left hand. Muscle memory doesn't like to be messed with.

Here are the two trigger assemblies. The conversion kit came with the correct trigger for the compact tactical.

I actually don't know the model number, but they are relatively common, and Anschutz made several similar models. If you search for "Anschutz tunnel sight" they should pop up auction sites, etc.

If you can buy from the German auction site "eGun," that place is a treasure-house of target sights. Search there for "korntunnel" and it will bring up a ton of 'em. (Search for "diopter" and it's match sight heaven.)

This old thread has a good picture and some useful notes:
