Thank you

Member fullpower, I did this test just for you...Consider the results. Question; do Crosman pellets mess up the bore of a airgun? Testing JSB 18's, CPHP's, CP domes, JTS 18's, and last and final group JSB 14.35's.
All shot at 34 measured yards off my knee nonbenched with a Taipan Mutant standard shooting JSB 18's at 890 fps. Barrel wasn't cleaned for test...infact it already had all these pellets shot through it for days before. Some wind.
Group 1 to 4 three shots each but not JSB 14.35's. Only last group for them...I forgot I had 'em.
Group 5 is 3 each shot back to back at same point of aim. 12 shots.
Group 6 and 7 15 each CPHP''s and JSB 18's.
Group 8 is 15 CP domes.
Group 9 is JTS 18's, (not last group 11 is.)
Group 10 JSB 18's, same as group 1, was some wind with this one.
Group 11. JSB 14.35's, after all those different pellets in different numbers and orders, best group of the test. How fitting!
I only use MP5 or equivalent and Bounty paper towels to clean my barrels...then not much.
I shoot a lot, I shoot often. Crosman pellets aren't the best but they have their place.View attachment 523414View attachment 523415View attachment 523416View attachment 523417View attachment 523419View attachment 523421View attachment 523422
I've shot dump truck loads of them...I never worried about anything except running out of them!

RM100Guy, Now that is a serious comparison test. Thanks for taking the time to document this and some really good shooting there and no bench rest. . I like the fact that the only thing you worry about is run-in* out of them ha!

It looks like Europe Airguns has them in stock. But if it were me, I'd wait for the carbon fiber air tubes to come out. They probably won't be much more expensive and they can be run at a higher pressure.

thank you.

The small round tube with a hole on each side is a tool to take out the gauge on the front of the air tube and yes you turn the hammer adjuster right to increase and left to decrease power in a manner of speaking I turned mine a one and a half turns out and am still pushing 890 fps but my shot count went from 45 shots on reg to 62 shots on the reg they seem to be great guns for A low cost

Older post but forgive me - recently bought XM1 Ranger and its shooting 18.52 gr Baracuda Hunter Extreme at 790fps out of the box. Did yours come shooting 890? I might fiddle with the hammer spring as I'd like to get mine at least up to the mid 800s but definitely don't have the confidence to disassemble everything

I use that on all my guns, the metal and the wood.. phenomenal stuff! Your stock turned out beautiful!

Another comment about the K1. I know some folks don't care for the integral magazine an o certainly get that. However the positive high quality feel of rotating the mag as you load is a very pleasant tactile experience!

rcarlisle, what’s on there for a front sight? I could use something like that on my various tubes.

I've created the part using OpenSCAD and then printed it on my 3D printer. My printer isn't in good shape, but I'll happily share the SCAD file with anyone who'd like to play around with it. Message me and I'll get it to you. SCAD files are pretty simple to work on, the software is free. But you can actually edit them in a regular text editor, once you're familiar. Just a text based 3D programming language.
Here's what it looks like up close (it's much better after some black spray paint).

Good luck with yours Jack.
I think that sucks you have to unplug, have to get a switch inline.
I filled one gun about ten times today, one time when I pressed the start button the whole thing shut down. Checked outlet ok. Wasn’t run so not hot or anything, tried again a couple minutes later and worked fine.
Worrysome though

Who's not for taking the kid out to have some fun but after all that and you let the kid shoot at something on top of the berm risking the projectile going over it.

Projectiles going over the berm is exactly why Ben Avery shooting range banned ELR cartridges - as I found out and not that I ever had the notion in my mind to try it because I knew better.

Here's a tip for you guys that wear Rx. For the last month or so, I have been putting one drop or organic hexane free castor oil on each eyelid before bed and massage it gently into the lid. There are many health benefits for using castor oil. You can do your own research. Anyway, I had an eye exam last week and my new prescription is LOWER than my last exam.

I don't get my new pair of glasses for another few days, I'm sure I will have to readjust the diopter on my rifle scopes.

Well, I'm not too old to learn a new trick. I have been using eye drops for 'itchy' dry eyes caused by dodgy tear glands in the eye lids. This morning I went out and bought that castor oil and put a drop on each upper eyelid, and gently rubbed it in (I wasn't going to wait until tonight).
For the rest of the day...no more itchy eyes, and no need to use the eye drops.
Yep, I'm convinced!
Many thanks @Mr.H

Empty Bore indicator or Empty Chamber Indicator must be inplace before the rifle is pointed anywhere but down range on the firing line including charging of cylinder.

Well, what's your angle? I like two as well, especially if they're not oem delrin piston .

Click to expand...

The only time the Delrin pistons bothered me was when my guns saw big temperature swings.

fits perfect in one of these

Hey guys...Apart from the price difference what would your choice be .22 caliber ? . If you own either or both of these guns what are your pros and cons ?

Thanks for your Input and have a great Christmas .

Really enjoyed the "Recoiless rifle" and Expert"

I wonder who snagged the Don Cothran 1701/PROD trigger blade ‘cuz I don’t see it anymore

That was probably the last of it.

Click to expand...

I messaged Mr. Cothran a while ago, inquiring about te availability of his PROD Trigger Blade and he said he has none left.

He’s still got some Roller Trigger Blade in brass though, so I ordered one for $41 shipped as I only have them in stainless; I have 3 of the SS

Nope. Ended up selling

the heavy vks were just for shts and gigs. I managed to knock back to back to back to back sparrows off of a bald dogwood at about 55y in a good full value left to right 20mph wind.. that was done with .2175 17.5 NSA. This was the experience that opened me up to slugs. I likely wouldn't have pulled that off with pellets. However, No, i've never shot paper in heavy wind conditions.. Everywhere i can set up targets is sheltered by heavy tree and brush cover. The field i shoot long range in is between two VERY THICK plots of Heavily treed and brushed woods, in a valley. At home I have a small lane cut into the woods, it takes VERY VERY strong wind to actually start causing issues in there. My wind experience is in live situations.

Click to expand...

Thanks for the wealth of info especially live situations as that’s my main interest.

I've only used their single shot mags, but they are great. Shipping can take a few weeks as they are in Croatia.

got the Donny Ryu today with 2 extra baffles as they suggested also in 30 cal.
i decided to also change my liner to the stx slug 1/16 last night.
not sure about anyone else but i have found the .22 fx CF Liner stiffeners fit the 25 real tight vs the .25 which slides on.
also add an o ring to each end for vibration just the way my mind thinks right or wrong seems to work, got it indexed put 150 rounds through it.
shot with both the stock fx and the RYU
stock mod just works well for being an empty can cannot deny it.
the RYU i shot 4 groups of 4 starting from 1 baffle to 6, then, 5 baffles down to 4 and 4 worked best. tight groups just like the stock moderator.
i will say the sound is different with 4 baffles i hear the action of the gun more so and a lower tone more so a thump vs a whoosh.
i like it with 4 baffles 3 baffles seem to have more of a pop than a thud i guess you could say
also groups better with 4 than 3 or 5 or 6 for this gun 600mm shooting 32-34g H&ns and 32 aea.
group on the right stock mod one on the left if the Ryū all at 50 yds if no rain going to the range Tomorrow, for 100-150yds.
all in all, I'm happy with the results just as good as groups and a lower tone.
i will say the stock moderator is hard to beat and that's why i bought a spare as well.....

I've used the 1 ton press with the GMI dies. 2 ton would be better I'm guessing, but it works.

Click to expand...

I think if you're a big guy then the 1 ton would be fine.

I'm not a big guy and found the 2 ton worked fantastic in comparison. Though one needs to be careful to make sure everything is aligned well so as to not damage the tip former that gets pushed into the die actual.

Happy new year!
I followed what Garry said about the vendor 'Topdeep' and found it. But it doesn't look like a genuine one at Amazon. There is no metal plate on the other side of the machine cover. The specs are kind of incomplete and so on. If I want to stay with YH, I will go to Aliexpress.com. The machines there look genuine and shipped from the factory where YH machines are manufactured. Another option: forget about YH, what about Vevor? It looks like Vevor uses YH parts and put them together into a machine, called 'Vevor'. It's a YH by nature. Correct? I guess they are more decent than the YH clones, agree? Besides, it's cheap. At Ebay, it will cost about $161 with free chipping (my wife and I went to an Italian restaurant yesterday for lunch and it costed us $145 ($120 plus $25 tips)). The only thing that I am worried about is that I didn't see any options of warranty. I will talk to the vendor if I am serious to buy.
Thanks again guys, for your info!
