How much weight did that add to gun, looks like it would be very front heavy?

I did not weigh it but the ad on Amazon says 0.7 kg so about 1.5 lbs.

@WorriedMan Does either have external hammer spring or regulator adjustments?

Click to expand...

On my V3HP .30, i have drilled a hole under the adjustable butt-pad, through that the HS is adjustable with an allen key. Regulator not so much, though.

Mostly I shoot 30 yard challenge targets trying to figure something out or trying for a higher score. I rarely sort pellets (I haven't measured a benefit) but I want to shoot pellets my guns really like. When I practice other positions I want misses to be me, not the pellet.

WOW!! that was a roller coaster ride .. I order pellets 99% of the time from PA; always fast delivery, well packaged with no damage. I thought no way am I going to order and have Amazon destroy them with the worst shipping I've ever seen for pellets. Then the VP of PA gets on here; Wow I'm impressed and he explained the situation very well. Then the OP lets everyone know that he received his package and everything is good. Well I'm back to PA for pellet now Thank you Dr. K for sharing your experience; Good, bad and the ugly...

An electronic scope wouldn't fly at an AAFTA match, or at least not in any of the recognized classes. You might find a match director that would allow you to be in the "unlimited/freestyle" class.

If you're talking about just an add-on device to be able to film through your traditional lensed scope, you might find a match director that would allow it.

For some reason I'm thinking electronic aids aren't allowed in at least some of the classes... might be a WFTF thing.

Thankyou for the video. Would also like to be able to show someone through the scope the process of ranging by adjusting for parallax.

Are you guys running an additional inline filter on these smaller compressors when only filling smaller volume tubes and bottles?

Click to expand...

This was my first compressor. Yes I added this Tuxing gold filter. I wanted to fill bigger bottles though so didnt use this long.

i have not ever seen one of these pistols in the hand but it is interesting that Buck Rail has an adapter for the AR-15 grips i wonder what a Royal Arms grip would be like i have one on one of my Chasers

Contact Jose Valencia he will assist you

Will consider reaching out but I feel like I don’t have the prerequisite experience to consume the time of a master.

I have a Gen 2 FX Dreamline tactical in 25 cal with the 600mm barrel. I recently installed Huma Air's 14.45 g hammer weight and spring. I've set my reg at 165 bar and maxed out my hammer spring adjustment to the point where the wheel freely turns in one direction. I was able to achieve an avg FPS of 922 (range 916 - 924 fps) using NSA 33.5 gr slugs and 962 FPS using the NSA 29.5 gr slugs (range 957-967 fps). My results were measured using a NateChrony. I would of thought you would have achieved between 870 and 900 FPS using the 30 cal 44.75 gr pellets. Have you maxed out your hammer spring? You also may want to increase the reg pressure up to 165 bar as the reg is rated for up to 170 bar. I also tried Huma Air's slug/pellet pin probe, but found that the OEM probe produced more consistent shot strings at virtually the same FPS. My next purchase was going to be the 30 ca;l 600mm barrel for the gun, so I'm curious as to what you ultimately determine. Also, the AEAC channel did a received of the FX Dreamline 30 cal w/600mm barrels, and if I recall correctly, they were able to achieve 877 FPS using the 44.75 grain pellets and a reg pressure of 170 bar. Though these results were achieved using the OEM hammer weight and spring, of which, my OEM hammer weight weighed 12.65 g.

What’s the most quiet gun you have experienced at any price point?

Click to expand...

As I make shrouds for all my guns none are STD, the quietest I have ever had was a BSA R10 with SSG and my shroud, and you could literally only hear the action and that was quiet.

Since all of the screws are SAE on AF, I'd say NPT

Each to their own! I have Alpha Wolf and AA FTP900 and find the Epoch the lightest trigger I have yet to encounter, no feel whatsoever despite max adjustment, so the tip might help those who feel the same.

There is LOP, barrel length and OAL specs for these rifles. I'm sure you could find that info rather quickly.

If the LOP and barrels are the same length and the OAL is different then the muzzle treatment is probably different. I think they are all the same just different wood on the stock.

... I think the standard 95 barrels are longer and they have iron sights that aren't too bad. Those sights are probably better than the scope on the field pro.

Those chunks on the barrel may help some shooters. A little more weight up front may help accuracy. I'd think about the tradeoff between that and iron sights. You can always take the sights off if you don't need them. Sooner or later you will.

The scope and mounts on the field pro may be dandy. I don't know. I looked at the field pro and decided on a 95n and a set of low Sportsmatch rings instead. I wanted iron sights on it and I couldn't choose my scope and mounting hardware with the field pro. So I felt a little hemmed in by the field pro option.

Just my two cents...

One of the reasons I come to these forums is to get the real world opinions and experience of you folks that did the leg work for me.
A bargain ain't a bargain until it's tried and trued.

Howdy folks. Diesel here. New to the hobby and just wanted to introduce myself. I just jumped into the PCP realm and purchased a Umarex Gauntlet SL30. I've got ALOT of experience with the real thing(s) but none with the airgun side. I'm old and retired now, so I just want to get into punching holes in paper with the occasional small game hunting. I'm a 3X GWOT Veteran and also worked as an engineer for DOD. The Army's new weapons selections were programs I worked on prior to my retirement. So... (shrugs) I guess, there's that.
Alright, looking forward to getting to know you folks and learning some good stuff. Stay warm out there, it's snowing it's ***s off right now!

welcome .... what's your air source for charging your pcp?

The CS4 makes a lot of noise when I used it on the 2nd floor I could hear it on through the ceiling on the 1st floor. These 3d printed feet that slide over than standard hard plastic feet help quiet it down. I printed it with TPU and 20% concentric infill.

Have to flip them right side up to print.

@Tusk11 How are you enjoying shooting that M357?

3d printing, Im on board, experienced 15×15× 20, just about any filament.

Great review, but still i prefer the looks of the old one !

Wow nice video. TY for posting Rob

I have heard comments that the zelos internals aren't rated for 4600 psi. Thats why you need one of these. Thatales sense. I'm just curious if anyone has tried. Are they only seeing some regulator creep? Or is it more concerning than that?

Buck Rail offers a printed moderator that had metal 1/2 20 threads and is in sections. You can use only as many sections as you need to make your gun quiet. I have one on my Prod with a couple sections. It has a tapered end (or is available that way).

Where are the pics of that stock? Glad everything worked out for you, I know how nerve racking it is to have a missing package worth so much money.

Will take a nice one tomorrow
