So I will have to dissasemble all the damn thing... poop.

I'd suggest getting used to disassembly for the fact that it is a semi auto, and as such with all of it's moving parts, pins and rollers, should be regularly maintained and lubed to operate smoothly. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as to the difference in the trigger pull with a cleaning and lubing of the pins, which will help you with accuracy as well.

Maybe "mass produced" is a better term, but there's wiggle room even with that.

The same can be said for ammo, specifically .30 pellets. What does “mass produced commercially available” really mean? How many is “mass produced?” Commercially available where? In a foreign country that the USA has an embargo with? I think the big comps just take someone’s word for it, especially if they are a “big name”. Just try and buy .30 caliber 71 grain pellets from Russia…. Good luck.

You'd do better to have a small "pony tank" or " buddy bottle" with the correct schrader fittings to fill a tire than filling from a compressor directly. 30 seconds to do it from a bottle opposed to 30 minutes from a compressor.

That is a REALLY good idea. Especially for the quad. It wouldn't take a big bottle to keep the tire on the bead.

I will say the head sizes on tins are more of a trend rather than a statistical fact. Especially with JSB.

Tom Gaylord likes it.

Here's a little tip for you guys. On my Weihrauchs I just glue them in with 5min epoxy or green wicking loctite. No need for srews, clips or presses. Holds like a champ and is easily removed with a little heat. Makes barrel swaps safe and quick.

I recently replaced a worn one on my oversprung R1 with a 77/97 cocking pin. Afterwards I ordered a bag of 50, 5x18mm high strength dowels from McMaster Carr for much cheaper than a few Weihrauch pieces. They can be used on any model Weihrauch I own.

@rcrawford58 Do you top off your GK1 fast or slowly? What do you use to fill your GK1s? Have you felt the temperature of the carbon fiber around your reservoir directly after topping it off? If so, how does it feel?

Click to expand...

I use a compressor to fill. The carbon fiber feels slightly warm after filling. It will fill from 14–15mpa to 32 mpa in about five minutes.

Hello,
I have an Air Venturi Rovair 4500 that I am putting back together.
Trying to get the correct orientation of the HO cylinder assembly. The pics I took prior to disassembly disappeared. Have it repacked but am unsure how to click them. The drawings I have of the Air Venturi RovAir High Pressure Cylinder Head and Air Venturi RovAir High-Pressure Cylinder do not have a top down views.
If anyone has pictures they could post it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Couldn’t agree more! Once I had a general understanding of the settings and if I moved this or that and what caused “this” to happen with the tune in a basic sense, such as, “why did my velocity go down all of a sudden?”, I was able to get rolling pretty quickly. I definitely got to where feel and sound of the Airgun became a huge part of tuning much like it is for you.

I see my impact as a cross between a science experiment and a musical instrument. Depending on how you intonate and tune the guitar, the lab equipment provides you with different outcomes for the experiment that sound drastically different. Hammer strike, refresh rate, muzzle report, extreme spread, group size. Etc.

1 change at a time is the safest route so you can track cause and effect. Keep meticulous notes so you can always go back that way.

I decided to try the IQ Vise that @CoyoteGod suggested.

Is anyone using quick change mounts and top plates to swap out hardware (like presses, vises, etc) on their work benches?

FIT in a springer is key !!! You will gain tighter ES when the "Cork in a bottle" effect is uniform shot to shot.
Pellets that load easy feeling little to no resistance seating will be poor in this regard.

As too JSB Monsters in 13.43 g the newer REDESIGNS trend to be a larger skirt and may offer a bit more more compression and snugger fit over the original straight skirt "Trashcan" shape of the 1st gen style.

Click to expand...

Motorhead you are absolutely correct...FIT is optimal. I tried the "Redesigned" JSB match Diabolo Monster 13.43gr pellets. Your idea was my original thinking, because of the new "redesigned" label. In my personal '48, the "redesigned" skirts are too wide, cannot be finger pushed into the chambers completely and if left to the breech bolt, the result is very minor, but noticeable mashed lead residue collecting around the cone that needed to be removed after a dozen or so shots. The original same 13.43 still needs a fair finger push to seat flat against the cone; the compression of air does the final expansion of the skirt. Therefore again in my personal '48, (others rifles may have a different conclusion)...perhaps that is why JSB still manufactures both. Again, your thought is right in line with my original thinking and appreciate your post! I do believe my pellet sorting has accomplished my issue...so far!

I dig that grip

Thanks bud! Pierce 1911 adapter for AR. And a set of 1911 sideplates. May ne switching to a set of G10 grips soon and move these plates to my Impact.

Thanks Stoti I'm pretty excited about adding the plenum to my existing setup..

I was on the RAW website nosing around and saw that they make a plenum that screw right on to your existing plenum so I ordered it for my .25 raw..
Does anyone have any experience with it or can tell me what to expect..
Thanks ahead of time

Hello. I hope this isn't breaking any rules. I see that there is a Classified Forum, but I don't have the time or knowledge currently to try to sell individual airguns. I need to sell around 80 airguns. Most of them are antique, and I know enough to know some of them are quite valuable. I'm looking for someone who might be interested in buying part or all of this collection. It would have to be someone from the Pacific Northwest, as I also don't have the time to pack and ship that many guns. We could and probably should do any exchange with law enforcement present, just to be sure everyone is on the up-and-up. I am starting to catalog and value these airguns now. If you are interested or can point me in the direction of individuals or entities that might be interested, please let me know.

You can not sell or advertise on AGN until you meet the requirements - please review the rules

You bring me to another good point. By the time you're equipped to do everything you need, what have you spent? What is your time worth? I realized this and stopped casting 355 and just bought bulk powder coated stuff. Not for an airgun tho tbf.

It's like my whim to hot rod a notos I don't own yet, by the time I'm done I'm most of the way to a gun that came the way I wanted. I love the adventure and the process more than shooting tho. Problem solving is my joy. If that rings true for somebody else, by all means chase that project. I won't talk you out of it.

For my .510 Texan slugs are .50 to $1.00 a piece..Owww..I took 200 lbs of horded wheel weights and turn them into powder coated slugs that shoot targets and critters equally well..I have shot 300 lbs of lead through my .510 Texan at 450 grains at piece mostly..For my .22 cal condor i cast 39 grain .225 powder coated spire points . I have to buy pure lead for it at a wopping $1.25a pound...I could not afford to shoot my Airforce PCP on my budget if i didnt cast....22 cal slugs for airguns are $15.00 to $20.00 a hundred...Too much for me

I keep seeing a 500cc tank on the classifieds. Easy swap.

Click to expand...

Yeah, I've seen it advertised too, but I just hate adding the extra weight. When I got it, I was looking for a gun that was fairly light to carry around. The actual weight of the gun started out almost a pound heavier than the advertised 5.2#, but by only adding a lightweight Leupold scope and rings, it still weighs just under 7#. I can live with the 3 shot string, but it would be nice to have a few more like yours.

Just member, targets are scored not chronogaphs.

What do you folks recommend for a suppressor on an Impact M II in 9MM? TIA, Be Well Brothers, B.

It's absolutely amazing how much they know about the new phones and how to use them, and with some it's not just with phones. When my granddaughter was about 5 or 6, she set up YouTube on our TV.

Available in Canada, trying not to ship anything across the border these days,
and has enough knocking power let say up to 10 M, .22 cal comes to mind first.
I had a PP750 earlier and now regret trading it.
I want to free up my de-tuned L2 from a property damage protection asap.

Black Vulture "Open Season". Really ?

Click to expand...

Yes, All you need is to sign up for a free permit to shoot black headed vultures. No limit or season. They claim they have become too aggressive and are killing calves and costing ranchers alot of money. It was on the news and is still in the magazine I get from my electric company every month. You get the permits through the USDA. Mark

Am loving all the rightful accolades for the Sniper… My Sniper HR was simply stellar to me… My lil Pathfinder is but a smaller Bantam Sniper with a little less power and a folding stock…

They shot outstanding at distance. fat grey @ 115yrds, .082bc were the numbers i got. Alt 1132', 732.2 mmHg Barometer, 69% humidity at 85.5 deg F.

Dialed 4.8 put the dot on her the upper right corner of her shoulder. Pop. the hole couldn't have been more perfectly on the dot. Heart/lung punch, knocked off the tree, DRT on retrieval.

Where they were aimed, they hit exactly. NO flyers, perfect.

looking great .
