My full ported with a moded valve stem 22 redwolf is pushing 23 gr slug at 970 which isn't bad heliboard as well
not quite as power as drs 22 But the valve is larger too

If I bought one I’d just be looking for 60 ft/lbs in .25. I’d be happy

Just got the new fx barrel on it today. Definitely gonna need a moderator. Thing is alot louder then I expected.

Anything Huben K1 or GK1 I get ahold of my Missouri homeboy. Kelly always did me right, damn good dude.

I've purchased from Europeaiguns sparepart FX things in the past no other vendors (US or EU) had them in stock. Based in Tenerife - island - the shipping may be a bit extended time, but my overall impression was positive.
About the OP, I am not inclined for diy slugs.... pellets maybe...

Not sure I thought the nipple on the gun looked stainless not sure
What the metal is the valve is made of
I had ordered both a new nipple from Utah and the valve from. Krale
As their the only ones who had the newer style bottle valve
I'm going to wait for the new parts to come before removing again.
Just in case.

I used powdered molybdenum disulfide lubricant on the nipple threads and it seems to be working.

I might try it. I shot my last conventional chronograph, however. I am using little inexpensive ones made in China now. They have a much more limited window but they are cheap.

When did we first learn of FFP scopes? Ten years ago? 12? Before that, most airgun scopes were 1" tube, SFP, implicit MOA, and didn't have mil hashmarks or christmas tree reticles. And somehow we still hit stuff we aimed at. Fairly often, anyway, and misses weren't the fault of the scope.

Agree with comments above that FFP isn't particularly practical for typical airgun distances, other than for competition. You can't see the reticle at short distances unless you crank up the magnification. If you do that, it can be hard to find the target and the reticle jumps around with breath and heartbeats. Illumination doesn't help in daytime.

I'm coming (back) around to compact, lightweight, SFP scopes, 1" tubes, 16x max mag, simple reticles, quality glass.

For the poll, I'm estimating my scope inventory at 50% SFP and the other half FFP.

My $0.02.

Yes....

Hands down the one I shoot the most is my AA ProSport. That said it’s not the one that be last to go.

Nothing is forever but the last airgun to go will probably be the FAS AP604 pistol. Wonderfully balanced, great trigger, fits me well, accurate and simple. The epitome of pellet, gun, shoot. Low power means I will always be able to shoot practically anywhere, indoors or out. My smile maker.

Only with the greatest reluctance will I ever give up my FWB 603, the last rifle to go. The rest I like to varying degrees but feel no permanent attachment.

My wife and I sure like the HW45.......I've looked at the FAS AP604 a few times but haven't ordered one yet, YET!

Pistols are fun!

Another quick question. Is it normal after you've removed the bottle(s) and degassed the gun and then later start refilling it to have some leaking around the regulator adjustment screw for many seconds as soon as the fill air starts flowing? Mine did this today but after the pressure built up a little bit (partially helped by me pressing my thumb firmly on the regulator screw) the regulator seemed to seal itself and it pressured up fine with no subsequent leaking.

My Royale. I think it is a 500? Shoots awesome has a slow leak. I need to get around to rebuilding it.

I hope they incorporate an illuminated reticle on future versions.

I would be all over them if they had IRs, my old eyes need it alas…

I have removed probably 10 of them and never found any thread locker of any kind. I think they just get the normal aluminum thread galling and are difficult to remove. I have a spanner tool thing that fits the holes to make things easier to grip, but sometimes they still need a little help. I cheap heat gun from home depot will help and wont hurt the finish at all if you leave it on low.

Update on my m4,as i shoot the gun maybe 600 rounds, i took shroud off and checking the liner notice it was really easy to turn, yes it was half way loose, i tighten back up good and poi shift appeared to have gotten away, I couldn't believe it, my impact m4 is doing groups at 100 yards that none my other pcp's rifles cannot do at half the distance, one inch consistently and I only could shoot 35 rounds and I have to stop due to darkness but I will continue hopefully tomorrow afternoon, im so incredibly happy with thk

Okay every one thanks to every single person here sharing their experiences i spend time tunning and got some tremendous results and very happy with the platform ,the reason i ask what moderator was the best is because i thought the factory one was the reason for poi change during the groups,I could get done a great tune as you can see in the pictures but poi issues never went away, i order a sleeve and shroud tensioner to see if i can g install it some

Thanks. The stock on my P35-25 and P35-177 are from recycled church pews. Traditionally the wood was mahogany but I think this is luan. The nose piece is from my "killing tree" oak that fell over from root rot. I have a little wood from the Stump. It's highly figured.

I have a hunting license. In SC where I am you can get a lifetime license for a few dollars when you get old enough.

Shot string for the meg

The wind finally died down and I was finally able to shoot last night. Before the weather got too bad i moved my 135 yard target to 125 so I wouldn’t have to cross the creek and possibly crash & burn. I walked down there today to change out the paper and saw this one weird group. It didn’t even register last night when I shot it. It’s the one in red. Then I thought of this topic. The group below it was also shot last night and I think it wanted to be an X also. I don’t think I’ll ever duplicate this again because my final group is upper left after some clicking. For now I have to wonder if when this gun sits for a week or two it shoots X groups until it limbers up.

Most likely ... The Poly o-ring that seals the Peek seat & poppet.
It hardens over time, gets a flat spot and starts leaking over time.

Tho some spritzing of soapy water at some of the external joints & connections and at Pressure transducer where screwed and checking the silicone sealing for not bulging, broke seal ... These areas needs to be checked before blindly going in.

Indeed it is!

Look down the female connector on the fill whip. I had an Oring that was buggered up once on one. Oring is down at bottom of connector

Holy Cow! I ordered a dozen or so tins of pellets from them and the packaging must be seen to be believed. It took me a while to get into it.

BTW, they have/had a great sale on FX pellets, not sure if they have any stock left, but even if not, it's worth an order to see the packaging!

I too am a loyal customer of theirs and I LOVE how my ammo arrives all 100% safe and secure with outstanding packaging!

JSB HADES PELLETS .22 CAL. 15.89 GR

I've had the best luck with the JSB Hades 15.89 gr pellets for accuracy in my Notos. A number of three shot .2" groups at 25 yds.

Drives me crazy how the same pcp rifle in same caliber can produce such different results...with 15.89gn JSB my groups suck...pic is 20 yards

Hi Jack,

How about a picture of how you set up.

I’m used to solving my own problems, who judges experience? As in just newer to airguns but lifetime of shooting, competing, reloading for up to 1000 yard f class, long range western hunting, etc, doesn’t matter, never proficient at shotgunning.
Original post was merely about 2 new scopes, same manufacturer ( centered crosshairs) , same gun, unmoved mounts, same pellets, same range.
One scope close to bull on mounting the other feet low and not enough elevation to correct. I know how to correct with angled rails or rings. Yes several “helps “ were not relevant as mounting itself was not problem.
ive mounted a lot of scopes just never anything to this extreme difference . Scope in question is on target now with the raised rear ring. Will investigate further when I get out of cellar
