Best i recall having had 2 AW's over the years .... They ALL used the thin barrel going into a shroud being shorter than the shroud itself.

Excellent deal. Go for it! Bauer compressors are top of the line. They are rated for continuous duty and repair parts are readily available.. I would scrap the Honda and convert to electric though.

I am shooting from a bench and rings only. I cannot recall a single time in four years I ever shot my Impact offhand.
Zero vertical grip for me. Emperor and Penguin.

I am trying to find a figure 8 type of buttstock part that will allow me to drop down from the tube on an AR style butt stock. It would allow me to put a tube under the original tube and then fasten the butt plate to the new tube
Thanks
Rod

These are awesome soda can shooters. Hold tons of bb’s. Mine just started leaking last week. Not sure censure about resealing it, it has never needed service.

Another vote for the 6-24 Vector Veyron. You can pick SFP or FFP too.

They also have great adjustable rings. As good as the Eagle Vision for 1/3 the cost.

X-ACCU 30mm Adjustable Elevation Picatinny Rings

Video Feature 30mm Diameter, Adjustable Elevation Height From 32 to 38mm (1.25-1.5“ Bottom to Ring Center) 6 Torx Screws Per Ring, Can Fit 56mm Objective Lens Scope, CNC Well Machined.

vector2007.com

Have SFP and FFP, IR, non-IR and several different reticle configurations in my 6 VV 6-24x44 collection. Preference for SFP, 6-shade red center dot IR and MPR-V10 reticle. Find FFP reticle thins out too much for older eyes under 8 power. Also, scopes with full illuminated reticles wash out view, 6-shade center red dot IR can be dialed back to lightly highlight aiming point, perfect IMO. WM

Hi. I wanted to post a brief introduction. I didn’t see a dedicated “new member intro” section and thought that the general discussion area would do nicely, thank you.

I’m a Texas native, living in exile in Georgia. It isn’t that bad, but sounds sort dramatic (and it is a tribute of sorts to my dad). I live in South West GA, maybe 90 mins from ATL.

I think the airgun bug bit me around 2008’ish (maybe a couple of years earlier, but I can find some posts and emails to safely say 2008). I was a longtime member of the old Straight Shooters forum (I see they are no longer around), probably another site or two, and I wrote a fair bit on my own website as well. If you remember other boards and sites - jcalvert (that is probably me) or Calvertgames (for sure that is me).

I have been in and out of the hobby for a while. Life has a way of throwing curve balls, but I digress. I would hazard a guess that I more or less stopped posting to various boards and whatnot around 2018; although my love for the hobby and has never really died. And here I am again …

My inventory, all purchased from (the old) Straight Shooters:

-Beeman R1 .20 Carbine
-Beeman R1 .22
-Beeman R7 .177
-Benjamin Marauder .22

The R1 .22 was my first purchase, followed by the R7 and then the Carbine, which is probably my favorite airgun. I plunged into the PCP world with the Marauder, which is a brilliant entry into PCPs.

All this is to say that I was looking to rekindle the fire and find a likeminded community. I plink, I hunt (backyard, vermin style) and just enjoy shooting my airguns for the fun of it.

Welcome back jcalvert

If you count Daisy's I have been in the hobby relatively serious since the late sixties. I shot them in my youth, collected the different models "for shooting" in my teens, then bought a Sheridan in 72. In the early eighties I decided I wanted a Sheridan pistol and wound up with my first Beeman offering, a Tempest with a Bianci holster.

Never joined anything but lurked and kept up with internet postings. AGN was one of two sites where the answers I searched for were discussed in good detail. I eventually joined both but AGN turned out to have better social interaction. Which to me is what it's all about.
Welcome aboard.

A way of asking an equivalent question might help it make sense. You could have asked "at what pressure would a 1000 cc bottle filled to 300 bar get to the same pressure as a 500cc airgun starting at 150 bar?". The question is a bit odd because the bottle is small. But regardless of the size when you take air out of the supply bottle it's pressure starts to fall. If the supply is pretty close to the recipient size then you may not reach your target pressure. The supply is only 50 bar higher than the target and you are trying to raise the gun 150 bar.

I'll give those a whirl. Are they good for squirrels? That's what I mostly hunt and doves.

Those two are exactly what I shoot with them.

I use the 17gr in my notos @845-850

Here's 840fps expansion

Down to 750/760fps

To get a accurate down range power you need a accurate BC of the projectile being shot.

i said really t=you did a rebuild and didn't clean the sledges i was not happy

Hard to believe the sled components weren’t cleaned up while laying on the bench during the rebuild??

Sounds like someone is playing to many video war games.

Peashooter · Dec 28, 2024

Yes the tool is install and adjust tool all in one, though the install as depicted can be handled with a coin, and i also did just that at the time.
I got a Huma reg for my maverick, the #2 one, but i have to admit it soon left my maverick again.
But this one on the Two give me good vibes.

I still want to be able to run the factory REG too for the even lower pressures it allow for, but i do not want to swap regulators all the time so i want the pipe piece the reg sit in, so i can swap that piece when i want to, air loss not a big deal after i got my own big boy compressor.

I thought I would leave a quick impression after installing this chassis. These have been on sale at Utah for less than half price at $200.00. You get to choose between black and FDE Magpul AK grips on purchase but could use any AK grips. Installation was easy enough but you need to have some very small punches as you need to transfer the pin retained trigger components. The chassis requires a longer trigger rod connector than the factory stock. The supplied connector has a flat side the factory connector does not. A message to Utah Airguns yielded an immediate response that the flat side faces the action, I didn’t want to wear the pin holes with trial and error. Other than that installation without instructions was straight forward after you realize that the chassis is disassembled and built back up on the action. After firing a couple mags I really appreciate the adjustability of the butt pad and would consider the balance perfect. In all honesty I bought it because I find the standard stock looks to me a little 10 years ago, that said I was pleasantly surprised by real ergonomic improvements.

My best guess is the valve seat is compromised in some way. Something like a bit of debris pinched in the seat or a hairline scratch, causing a scenario where the seat attempts to pinch closed in the normal fashion, but cannot seal 100% so air continues to weep very slowly past/through this imperfection.

I couldn't find a good picture or exploded view of an Altaros regulator but if you can post one, I can direct you more precisely where to look.

Yeah I understand what you are saying. Sadly I don't think I can find or get any image of an exploded altaros regulator.

Threading of the Filler assembly DOES NOT bottom out, it is designed t be backed off some so rotation allows gauge face centering or probe placement alignment.
As shown it is threaded in too far, ideal position is having probe hole close to front to back centered within the rotating cover sleeve.

The leaky ghost I speak of (not from PA) was shipped with a very nice 10s shot string that was obviously BS.

I would prefer the vendor keep its fictional shot string and simply air it the day before shipping and verify leak status before throwing it out the door. I would also prefer the vendor to give a return (and I was polite about the problem) and repair priority over shipping more crap.

I have worked on both triggers, stoned sears, adjusted, etc. I prefer the CD trigger. I have found it easier to adjust to the 8-12oz range. I have found the Rekord triggers more finicky in this range. The Rekord sears are better quality, but the CD cage is better quality than the Rekord. The CD trigger unit is easier to disassemble and reassemble. Despite the differences, they are both excellent trigger units!

I own an M3 in .177 and one in .30 and the .177 is the most accurate because:

1. Far, far, better selection of high quality pellets that are competition proven.

2. The .177 M3 has a far broader range of tuning for pellet weights available.
