I bought it for a friend of mine, it now lives in Texas. It is a really sweet gun, I can’t believe you sold it.

That is the one that I REGRET selling. I wish I could roll back the clock and unsell that one. None the less I am glad that it has found a new home.

Thanks! Sucks about the bubble wrap, but bet it would look as amazing in person as it looks in the photo with a little work.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our sale today! We sold out quickly and look forward to seeing all the cool photos and video from the new AirForce Airguns owners who grabbed one from this awesome sale today. Stay tuned for more cool gear from AirForce Airguns and other brands we carry over at DonnyFL.com!

Many thanks but won't be rebuilding. I live in Zimbabwe so getting parts etc is more hassle than ehat it is worth

Oh! Yes that would be far more in shipping than it's worth. I would seek out a way to silver solder or braze that back on without distorting the tube. You'll need to remove the gas piston before applying heat. Good luck

When I was searching the internet to try and understand the stock lengths of the Daisy 753 vs 853, I could not find anything definitive. So this post will cover this topic. I like a bit longer trigger reach so these three models are set up at 14 inches. The 853c (top in picture) has one “butt pad” spacer to get to the 14”. The 753w (middle) has two spacers. And the 753s (bottom) has three spacers. Also as a side note, the spacers supplied with the new synthetic stock fit both 753/853 wood stocks better than the supplied ones that came with the rifle. However, they have a lip on the one side that needs to be removed. Daisy sells the spacers for a $1 each. Just specify for the “synthetic” stock. Hope this helps. Thank you.

How many Max 1 are out there?
I'm not sure the 0.5mm will negatively affect things.

Great progress. The lanes look promising. With five lanes you can host a full match. Shoot through five lanes. Move the targets, eat a light lunch then shoot through them again.

Since the club is new and the shooters and still beginning we do a loops. That way you kinda get a second or third try at the same target. Doing fun shoots for now.
The gun club has really given me a lot of area to work with and been super supportive. This is more like an airgun theme park. We have a field target range for practice and one for competition set up all the time. Plus enough room for extreme field target, bench rest , silhouette or just long range shooting up to 100 yards.

Athlon continues to impress me for what it makes at the price point it gives us.
I continue my quest (obsession) to find the worlds greatest HFT scope for ranging at 16X.
I am currently waiting on a 6" round parallax wheel for this scope, but my initial workup on the bench has me totally impressed with the I.Q.
Stay tuned for pics and further details.

as I have said so many times I do love the Athlon scopes : )

Maybe it’s time for us to design our own US made springers! What was the last decent US springer? We all buy German because of quality/tradition. The US has some pretty good engineers. Let the Germans build the barrel, and we build the rest of it!

Click to expand...

Supposedly that's one of the purposes behind the tariffs, to bring more manufacturing back home to the US.

If Alvin and Theodore are Alvina or Theodora, you'd better look out for Simon/Simonette also.

Oo ee oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang!

I shot the FX Archery Chonograph simultaneously with the cheap Chinese chronograph. It was pretty messed-up looking, I should have taken a picture. Shots according to the FX were from 917 fps to 863 (80 shots, fell off the reg). The Chinese chrony thought the shots were slower by a little more than a percent.

Having the Chinese chrony around scared the FX into its best behavior; it didn't miss a shot.

Good to hear that the cheap chinese chronographs are accurate. My FX chrony was anything but reliable and finally gave up the ghost this year. I must have dropped it or something. I kept it in my old range bag. It would only record one of ten shots on average. Nothing worse than an unreliable chronograph!

I upgraded my range bag to a Savior and the chronograph to the Garmin. Both were huge upgrades.

The points brought up in the setup comparison table are certainly valid, but the comparison itself is not a fair one As it compares apples to oranges. Look at your own setup: the ARCA rail is on the stock. So the standard Caldwell precision turret clamp would clamp on the stock as well. In stead the table lists disadvantages of the clamp setup as if it was clamped to the barrel or airtube iso the stock.

Anyway, not trying to start an argument here, your setup is very clever and I use it quite often myself (on a ”regular” tripod) in addition to the standard precision turret.

cheers!

cost.... making a "exceptional" barrel is an expensive endeavor.

Click to expand...

Very much so. I'm well over $6000 just in R&D plus well over 100hrs in research and computer calculations. That's not including material and manufacturing just to prove concept.

I do it with my Marlin 880SQ.. shoot flies that land on my 50 yd targets. need an airgun to try with.

Accuracy with a springer takes a lot of practice, especially with hold. With PCP's it's usually on the shooter for pin point accuracy. If your budget allows, I would go the PCP route, much more enjoyable shooting and accuracy wise as well as a more quiet report with a moderator.

Click to expand...

PCP is more enjoyable?
Why do I grab a springer more often than a pcp, or pumper, or CO2 gun then?
I guess I'm lazy?
I don’t feel like pulling the compressor out, making room for the gun to charge, waiting on this noisy compressor, hoping the compressor makes it, and doesn't wind up in my dead compressor stack.
Accuracy in PCP is better?
I have three PCP's, and my springers, or pumpers will out shoot two of them.
I do shoot them, but concider them a bit more of a commitment on a lesser scale similar to my powder burners,

These used to sell for $20 at traveling Cumming's tool sales. Most are fairly accurate and shoot about 550 fps with a lead pellet.

Funny thing, that's what I gave for it and I remember the Cumming's tool sales. Really quality stuff
Cheers

4” give or take?
Informal, no one measures.
These are my practice targets for the backyard:

I have a 210 junior and it is absolutely my favorite match rifle. I bought it new, from Champion's Choice. I think it was one of the last ones available.

Click to expand...

What stock configuration did your 210 Jr. Come with, the Ambi stock or is it handed?

The entire power source (bottle, jets, valve, regulator, and almost all o-rings) are completely separate from the breach, barrel and trigger group! Making it easier to work on, and fill separately.



The Leshiy 2 via EDgun West

I like that feeder simple, cheap and easy,,

I have the Venom 5-25x56 and it's a great scope for the money. I would assume the Venom 3-15x44 is similar quality. Clarity on the Venom is a little better than my Arken EP5 and the turrets feel much smoother/less skippy.

I had to go look, but sure enough, mine's updated also, and I had no idea it did it ???

Click to expand...

Yes you have to be carful or it will update when connected to your phone. I made effort to not have it do so prior to today.
Updated mine today as it seems from what a few of you say anyway, it's a good update.

Looks like it will fit the Snowpeak Max 1.

The M60 and Max 1 share some parts

This is what I've been using. It's not cheap but really works good.
