I hear ya, I never grew up with any Elf on the shelf but, I certainly knew of the Belt On The Shelf?Honest here ! i almost shot my fathers eye , missed buy an inch , It was with a sling shot i had just made , luckily only with newspaper rubber bands so not powerful . Boy did i learn a lesson that day ! Dad took me outside with a .410 shotgun and i blew bottles apart till my arms were to tired to hold the gun up
Then he made me pick up all those pieces ,every one of them .. I was 8 years old . i was 38 when this movie first released .
yes- the guy from channel 910 gun repairs or something like that tested 1 and 2 plenums on his dreamline and showed the fps.. the second plenum did not change much but it did give 15-25fps (20fps on average) increase over 1 plenum only..Don't think so. Plenum Air is just air that's at regulator pressure, post regulated reserve air. The valve dwell has more to do with the hammer stroke. I think it's more of an issue of aesthetics. Typically one plenum is fine. I just use two because I want to be sure I can get every bit of power available to me. I haven't seen much different between one or two. That's a good bit longer and would position your tank further forward. You asked if it would work, which, yeah, it would.
It's like this.Thanks, very interesting, the more I dig and look, can see this can be a very deep rabbit hole
It was a X-mas gift. He gave no indication to his wife, friends or family that he wanted one. And as I said in my original post, he is not a tech savvy individual. He would have a terrible time trying to learn this and remember how to use it. I told him to return it, which he didI have a x-sight 5 lrf 3-15 model mounted to my night pesting rig. Overall it has worked well for this application and ballistic calculations have been spot on for me. It does have some quirks though. The user interface is slow to navigate, and its missing quite a few settings that would greatly improve its overall function. For instance, after turning off the optic, the ballistic calculator defaults to its disabled state upon powering up the device. The user must remember to re-enable the ballistic calculator in order for it to function, and this task probably takes a good 10-15 seconds to accomplish. I don’t understand how the designers failed to create a startup function in which the user can quickly enable the ballistic calculations and pick the profile they wish to load, or just have the optic default to a user specified profile upon startup. Another example is the time it takes to grab a lrf reading and update the point of aim. After pressing the range button the lrf begins taking readings that last for at least 5-7 seconds, during which time the reticle is replaced with an lrf aiming rectangle. Pressing the range button again, does not stop the process, it must be allowed to finish. The lrf seems to display the measured range quickly (2 seconds) and then just keeps ranging needlessly for an extended amount of time. It would be nice if ATN included a user setting that would allow the user to select the desired duration of the ranging process. What is your buddy planning on using this optic for?
Drop reg pressure and try that. If it’s giving you 1050 out the gate the reg is too high for that pellet. I believe there is a path to what you want to achieve with a little experimentation. I do agree you would think more factory presets would be in there.Well yes and no. The performance is a beast in power. If I load it witha 10.44g pellet and set in factory set 13.42g it gives me over 1050ps and will not adjust. It can only adjust within 100fps
I can't agree more. I'm curious on the design but admin gets their knickers in a twist when we discuss that stuff. I've been playing with that area and can't bounce any ideas off the group because of Agn's aversion to it.There is no greater feeling then when a part you machined yourself works as planned on your airgun. Then there’s the satisfaction knowing you’re the only one who has it.
Your checkering friend does great work. Those little plain patches within the pattern are difficult, not to mention the double border lines. This bottom picture shows the parallel "corn rows" nicely, which is the benchmark of precision checkering. That's real artwork, right there. Nice gun, too, BTW.I ordered one of SC stocks a few years ago, (Bastogne Walnut), for my 124. At the time, he was applying stippling to the pistol grips. I had him leave that off, and had my checkering friend check it up a bit.
I still think these rifles are overall, the best of the production spring guns of the past.

mike. I might be local. do I know you? they tend to be very reliableIt’s a complicated gun. I know a fellow that has one he’s had it at the shop more than he’s had it at the range. The operation is amazing once tuned correctly it looks as if though there’s no recoil.
