Without snap ring pliers you cannot get to the belleville washer area of the regulators I have worked on but you should be able to replace the O-rings on the piece that you screw in and out to adjust the regulator. On my Huma and SPA regulators the O-rings are the same size on that stem and on the stem that holds the belleville washers. So you could see if you have some and, if not, order them.

The new Huma in my Caiman stopped working right after I got it. It had been assembled with blobs of silicone grease on the belleville washers and none on the O-ring for the adjustment stem. Cleaning the belleville washers and putting a little silicone grease on the O-ring on the adjustment stem was all it needed. It still works fine. But on a regulator that has a few years on it I think it's a good idea to replace all the smaller O-rings. The ones holding and sealing it to the airtube have held up fine in mine so far.

I've bought 6000. Great plinkin pellet.

I emailed HUMA about these a while ago asking about how precise the mounting system is.
My question concerned putting a front sight on a moderator and I wanted to know if alignment would be accurate enough to remove & replace the mod as needed.
The fine folks at HUMA thought it might work but had never tried.

I may get around to trying this some day
Has anyone else done so?

The Midwest Airgunners matches are usually held on the first Saturday of each month at the Fort Osage Muzzle Loaders Range, 1637 NW 550th Rd, Kingsville, MO. http://mocobps.com/FOML.htm View our Web Site for match information - http://sites.google.com/view/midwestairgunners

We had to cancel all our early matches this year because of the bad weather so our May match was the first match of the season for us. We finally had a scheduled match day where it wasn't freezing, snowing or pouring down rain.

Seems for general airgun ranges for most of us you would have to be quite a bit off for it to make a huge difference anyway ??

sad to hear that a friend would do that
hope you find what you're looking for

No ,this is not my friend's rifle, he doesn't sell his. I bought this rifle on eBay.

As you are aware, the 45 gr AEA pellets are sold out in the USA. I just received my order from AEA Airguns within a week and free shipping! So they are the same price as the USA.

That works out to be 16 bucks for 300 same as FX pellets from Trenier

I've tested JSB, AEA, FX, JTS and a few others.
I find the H&N Barracuda to be the one that works well in ALL of my guns. JTS being a close 2nd. The JSB/FX were very average. AEA were inconsistent.

I look for consistency with all my guns. H&N seems to do that well. Barracuda Match and 18 in my .22.

Zan in my .30.

I think the machinists had a problem with the .22 barrel line. Been seeing a lot of those.

Well, here I go....
I like one spinner with one blade painted black to give me a hint of wind speed. I still cannot tell the difference between 5mph and 40. If the black blade is a blur then that means high velocity and hold farther.
Bad part? gyroscopic effects makes that flag less responsive.

Here’e my take on them, after doing a quick test at 24 meters.
The new ones look a lot cleaner coming out of the box, I always had to wash and lube the old ones to not get your hands all dirty from loading them.

The 2 target groups on the left are with the new ones, 2 on the right the old ones.
Upper targets are 5 shots each with a ssloader,
Bottom targets are 11 shots each with a magazine.

You can see the CTC group size on the chalkboard.

Of course this is just a small test, but my initial impression is that they perform at least at the same level as the old ones, (at least at this distance) so I’m happy about that!

.177 doing me good 50y no prob . Ill grab some .22 next to see . The daisy .177 hp did well for me to . Wish instead of lighter they kept it the sam 7.9 or go heavier up to 9g .

Looking at your picture sbove of the .22 looks they kept the weight same 14.3 . Im liking that part on them so i not looking yoward issues using them as well ..

What is the liner length please, Bhaur?

Andwhichifles will they fit without modification?

Thanks
Edward

Click to expand...

These are 700mm liners. I understand that in most of FX guns, these can be used.

I have started a few upgrades on my own Impact M4.

A bit of increase in plenum volume due to removing material from valve housing.

Quicker air flow to regulator gauge due to above modification.

Peek valve instead of delrin

Barrel holder.

Why not just file down the top of the rear sight? I just checked mine and there was plenty of room to work with even if the sight was bottomed out. Alternatively, you might be able to increase the length of the adjustment slot or modify the area on the rear sight blade where it hits the stop screw at the rear of the gun.

@AlanMcD
Thank you again for the thorough explanation! I'm still new to the PCP game and assumed "shoebox" referred to the small cheap Chinese compressors as well (which is what I have). Learned a few new things today!

Click to expand...

You are welcome. I think the best way to differentiate them is by capitalizing Tom Kaye's version (as a proper noun, I guess) and not capitalize the class of compressors . . . personally I'm not that invested in the differentiation but lots of other Shoebox owners are - I think because the quality of design execution is so much different (and maybe also because the early cheap crap from China is what drove Tom to shut down his company because he ended up losing money just to sell off his inventory).

Like in many things, in HPA we get to pick two of the three attributes : Cheap, Fast, and Good (in this case, typically meaning reliable over the long term). The Shoebox was the first one (and maybe the only one) that offered the first and third item, but as a fully USA made product it could not compete with what came from China, even it was more reliable - most of the current crop of Chinese shoebox compressors are the first and second one. Some of the GX pumps look to be offering more of the third; time will tell.

I think one of the keys is that it is very hard on the machine to get to 4500 psi with just two stages, and that is what most of the cheap units try to do - doing so takes compression ratios of 17:1 on the two stages, and that is diesel engine territory there; three stages takes under 7:1 to get there, thus it is much easier to do so robustly . . . so if you want a two stage unit to last, don't run it that high - only use it for lower direct fills of gun

In my opinion that wasn’t the problem in the video. I think it was more of just a mismatch of valve pressure and hammer strike. I suspect the velocity on the 33.95 pellets would have continued to increase beyond a hammer setting of 12 which is what I believe he was on for the video . From the video it appears to me the 28” barrel is suited for heavy slugs in the given caliber. Hopefully the barrel is matched to that or this particular configuration misses the target big time. I personally don’t get the hype here at all. There is no electro mojo magic going on in there. I just cannot see 4k in this gun it’s silly. FX king with a really nice fancy stock is waaaaaay less and let’s be real the tech is on the same plane here. To each their own though.

Yes, I agree about the hammer spring. I was thinking about it later and there was definatley a HORRIBLE relationship between the hammer spring and the reg pressure. If a good balance gives you a low standard deviation, then this was doing the opposite for sure. I need to drop the white spring in and then from there, get to tuning.

How many turns on the hammer spring 10mm can i go? I dont want to turn it too far to cause damage to the gun

Sweet footage, what a nice kill shot and acrobatics… so nice I watched twice….

I have learned to estimate distances from playing golf. I use a gps watch and over time have developed a good feel …I’ll make my own estimate before looking at the gps. Yeah, I know, just what everyone needs, another expensive hobby.

In total agreement with Ratzy. My Tuxing 042 is my workhorse.
I bought on a whim cause it was cheap, $360 to my door. I bought
the GXcs4i before the Tux, it’s fantastic, cool running , relatively
quiet but you pay with time. If I needed to fill from empty my 6.8
or 9 liters I’ll let it chug away for 4 or 5 hours unwatched.
Mounted both on amzon dollys and extra cooling is self contained.

To add to the wishlist of the Mora. Being able to swap the cocking lever to the right.

In the current version of the Mora, a lot of mentioned drawbacks have already being addressed.
- shorter cocking lever
- complete new design dwellvalve and knob
- ability to adjust the scope rail forward and backward.
- new design barrel nut.

Exploded views and manual are available on the RTI website. The manual recently had a update.

Basically an ugly wood stock side lever Snowpeak rebadged as Defender. A little more at the semi-official Defender distributor.

Never heard anything bad about the M16A. Simple and robust.

Pretty happy with the looks & finish of the Shogun! Now if only Barra can get me a barrel that’s not damaged out the factory I can shoot the daggum thing.

The finishes look identical , nice match .

Nice setup! mine is split into 3, main backstop is 10-30 yards away 6 feet wide, diagonal I can get 45 yards and down the side deck of my uncle's house into the back corner makes 65 yards if I'm lucky .long island ny in suburbia very difficult. Been using alot of fruit targets on my youtube channel ,some tomato cans and some steel to shoot holes in .also have my xbow bag on the main part as well. Youtube @new sentry arms. The backstop is on there take a look .any suggestions let me know

Cool pic of your dad. Mine too was in the Nave from '39-45, He was a Chief EM but we never were able to find out exactly where he was much of the time. He was in Pearl during the bombing, as he told us about that before his passing.

Salute to all of those Greatest Generation!
