I bought the VP and put a 480cc carbon bottle on it. I lucked out and got an FX bottle cheap. You don’t necessarily have to put an FX branded bottle on it, you can get a bottle much cheaper on Amazon or Aliexpress. The carbon bottle is a noticeable weight saving for sure.

That being said, if you want the compact, get the compact. The extra 4 inches makes the rifle a lot longer once you add a mod on the end, and you will need one, the guns pretty loud without one.

Good afternoon everyone,

ASC will have our next FT match on Saturday October 26, 2024 (the 4th Saturday of the month) starting at 9:00am.

Firewalker , how did you come by that name ? In the show Walker Texas Ranger his real name is Firewalker.
I was wondering what are those green mags u are using in the Zelos. I seen you said .22L or 220 cc that is even less than the 250cc tube. I only bench rest, so I just put a 500 cc on my .22 cal Zelos. I did not like the guage on the adapter, so I put it in the plenum.
I really like the custom short one , and as you said great bush gun.

I'm a catastrophic burn survivor and I took my name from the title of a book by a dear friend who's husband had his foot severely burned when he took a "fire walk". They have helped me along my journey to achieve a sense of normalcy.

The mags are from my friend at Big Air: https://www.bigairprecision.com/Zelos.html

I make the Zelos conversions available in any bottle size you wish to use. The caveats are that the bottle has to be 61mm or smaller in diameter and your moderator has to clear the bottle. I have answers to the issue as well via PM.

Thats off a folgers can filled with cornhole bags & 1 bag ontop. lol

Nice! Thanks!

Maverick, Compact, .25 hammer weight, It started life as a .25 sniper, I never changed the weight if memory serves.... latest 16:1 barrel, CF sleeve, Slug Port, FX slug probe 120ish Bar , 21gr Hybrid. 908 fps, 40 ft #, easily out to 100 yards, dead ground squirrels to prove it.

Just opened for me (10/24/24 at 7:50p EDT)

Joe also has an eBay store

Any Vendors have these in stock?

Tuning -

They (Edgun), have a good amount of tuning, working information in YouTube.

Hate when they play possum, even worse when you get them picked up and they reach up to try to bite you. Nice hunt and nice pics.

Heat...

I'm going to sign O-TIH from now on!

Try contacting Jeff @ Trenier Outdoors, I know he carries different JSB head sizes.

I got these three yesterday morning. I just changed scopes the day before and was anxious to try it out. I like the little GPO daylight bright dot.

Great improvised sling. That is what I find so hard to do with my tactical style bottle guns, darn hard to comfortably carry in the field.

So far my two are working ok. Charles

TWO? that's good both working , I am sure there pretty easy to work on but I hate chasing leaks , So I am just sending back to Pyramyd . Never had a new gun leak in my many years in the PCP sport, Always a first time I guess , . The Carm magazines look a lot better than the OEM ones and he said he is working on a higher capacity one,
Mike

Just a VW Bug with Cadillac fins would be prettier

Made a post a few days ago. After watching some videos and doing more research. I think I've narrowed it down to 2. Donnyfl yokozuna and or huma-air mod30-3/0 < the old model not avalanche.
Going on a air venturi avenge-x .25cal.
Will be shooting pellets and slugs obviously will have to tune for both . I know on the donnys you go up a size up.
Note**
I did read up onsome moderators using the same size as the caliber cause clipping when running slugs is my only worry about the mod30. i Watched Steve with AEAC youtube tuning guide run the yokozuna pretty flawless with both slugs and pellets.
The yokozuna is onsale atm for 157$ shipped .
Mod30 found for 117 shipped.
Input welcome!

The Markforged printer we bought at work ~6 years ago could be upgraded to reinforce the nylon base filament with either continuous fiberglass or continuous carbon fiber material - IIRC the carbon fiber had strength similar to aluminum. (No experience with it, we just bought the basic model)

Click to expand...

Yeah, we had Markforged on-site a few years ago to demo their parts. The technology was impressive, but at the time, the material was quite expensive, and the printing process was relatively slow. Im curious if they now offer printing services with that machine.. it could be worth exploring since the gears are small and likely more affordable. I appreciate you bringing this back to my attention. I wanted to make the hammer spring tool work, but I’ve been tied up with other designs, and this time of year is especially busy. I really don’t want to send them out if they aren’t 100%. I will see what I can find regarding printing them with continuous fiber. That’s a good thought!

Wuwhoo! Great combos

I think I just discovered that this tank is beyond its 15yr life but the friend who gave it to me is looking for one with a little more life left. Still interested in what fill valve to use.

I love shooting my PCPs, but they definitely take a back seat to my daily reality. Just a hobby for me… @rangur1, be well and as others have stated… “count your blessings”…

Interesting results . I'm a big fan of the ARH plinkers kit, and have had one in my .177 hw50s for a couple of years. From the factory, it shot JSB 8.4s at about 11.5fpe. Dropped in the ARH plinkers kit, a Vortek piston seal and the usual moly lube and the gun delivered 9fpe with the JSB 8.4s. After many thousands of shots, the power has not changed. Much easier cocking effort as you noted, and the shot cycle is a lot more docile. At this power level, my hw50s is more accurate and more enjoyable for extended shooting sessions. Still plenty of power for small game hunting inside of 25 yards. How yours ended up delivering more power is a mystery, but I'm glad you like the outcome.

Hello, I located a refurbished MROD with LW barrel in 22 caliber. I'm curious what pellet and groups other owners of the same platform are getting at 50 & 75 yards and at what starting velocity?

Thanks in advance for the replies!

Click to expand...

My refurb. F&T does great with Crosman CPHPs at 830, Hades at 800+or-, most any 18gr pellet at 750/760. I can't seem to get much more out of it with any adjustment , so I get by with it for pesting & target work. Quarry taken never complained about the speed .

I bought one West Hunter once and ran out of elevation very fast while sighting it in, yet the elevation knob kept turning from what I recall. Sent it back to Amazon and never purchased another. For cheap scopes I like Vector Veryrons 3-12x, although I’m not a fan of the 4-16x with illuminated center dot. It’s not cheap. I’ve read good things about the Vector Veyron in 6-24x magnification as well. I also like Primary Arms for budget scopes. Keep in mind I’m not a turret clicker.

Great shooting at RMAC Eric. Coming in 4th place and beating Boyd Linder in a shoot off was super impressive. You were very close to 2nd, and those top few actually shoot for a living, I.e., that is their profession and how they earn a living.
All of the weekend NRL 22 and PRS shooters should be very proud of your accomplishment. I know I am.

Click to expand...

Thank you Mike! I really appreciate that. Regardless of finish I was happy with how I shot, and that was my goal. There's a lot more going on at RMAC than the COF. So I was really happy that the prep paid off, that the actual event was run well, and I was in a good place physically to give it a good run.

The competition there is no joke! Outsiders may hear "airgun" and brush it off, but I was legit taken back by the squad lineup. So really congrats to everyone that competed. Many of these guys have cred in the powder burner competition world. I really hope this means the airgun shooters will see some notice in those series now that it's clear we can keep up with "the big boys".

I'm looking forward to next year already

@JimD Thank you. I don’t know if I’d try that shot on a squirrel with a .177. I’ve never shot a PCP in .177, only pneumatic, CO2, and spring-piston airguns. I’d shoot rata and mice like that., but I’d be very hesitant on rabbits and squirrels. If for nothing other than I’m not too familiar with .177 projectiles.
