I found that the CMP sells the Crosman Challenger 2021 @ 650 if you belong to a qualifying NRA affiliated club. Is that a good deal? My limited looking around indicates it is a deal. Edit: Junior shooter program clubs only, rules are not the same as buying garands.

I wonder if durability is as much of a concern when being used in the airgun vs paintball applications. I know paintball guns get a lot more use generaly than airguns. I think Viton would be a bad choice but maybe a nitrile 90 duro would be enough to both hold air and take abrasion in dynamic use. 90 nitriles are pretty tough and seem to keep the shape they were made in.

An issue that comes to mind is STICKSION in that some rubber compounds tend to stick to there surfaces sealed against and this gets worse with time as the material extrudes into the o-ring groove ever increasing its contact area and drag against dynamic motion.
Just thoughts ....

I felt some air in my face at the shooting.

Already changed the o'ring inside the barrel, made adjustments with the spring of the hammer and applied the unfailing weird solution: inserted some silicone grease by the transfer port.

The Uragan is back in business!!!

AT EBR 2024 WE GONNA PARTY LIKE ITS only '13 WOOP!
This kills the joke to being sad but my spell check fixes EBR to its proper spelling of EBT.
However, that was really about how exciting it was. Like I was making it rain in the club with 2013 EBT cards.

has anyone adapted the barrel from avenger x to avenger?

All of you guys using O rings and washers please be careful. Yes, it solves the sticky thread issue, but it also creates a potential clipping issue. GeneT is correct. Virtually all of these commercial moderators use a moderator bore much larger than the exit diameter of the pellet. This policy does nothing to help silence the gun's report. It is done to prevent potential moderator to barrel misalignment causing clipping and customer complaints. For safety, you should always use an alignment rod every time you install a moderator. The test rod should be sized to the exit diameter of the barrel lands for about 2 inches and be long enough to extent beyond the end of the moderator. Once the moderator is mounted to the gun, insert the rod through the moderator and into the barrel. Misalignment can easily be seen as the test rod will not be in the center of the mod bore.

Ha , been there done that ,, last night !! Only tagged 6 rats yet I went through a mag & 1/2 at the barn for 3 hrs. Little buggers are too fast for me !

I wanted to go buy some stuff. But before I drove out there, I called over and over, left messages, but no replies. I even filled out the contact us on their website but nothing. I wonder if they are still in business.

I've had leaks from the same place that randomly developed over time. I occasionally check all my fittings now between the heat and vibration things loosen.

And its got to fit a Huben,Reximex,aPP750 and the PP700 should be easy to find, OOPS and for the ones not listening thats one gun at a time , Not all of Them at once......

I had the same issue due to improper assembly after lubrication and I took a while to get a spare sear. I tried to weld it - no success. Answering to Arkansas Airgunner, I paid US$ for mine but I can't recall where, I need to find.
Will post here when I find the receipt. After that, it is running fine.

Here’s a little preview of what the 1701P is doing with its new PEEK poppet, 120bar reg, light hammer with PEEK striker and 0.42 spring.

177 redesigns, 10.34 grain, putting out 11.75fpe, so let’s call it a UK tune!



18 shots from 2950psi before it drops off. Barely registering on a dB meter 6ft to the side. Too windy for any accuracy testing right now..

Here it is in testing guise before it gets a nice shroud and wooden stock!

So the scba tank that i purchased and linked here is a 30 year tank. It is not the 15 year tank that could be extended. This specific one/type is made and sold as a 30 year with the label written on it under the clear coat. Same seller reposted some more, but the price on that is like 1800 or so. Im guessing the made a mistake in the original post to sell it for only 325. The one I got had last hydro don in january of this year and i have 24 years of "life" left on this one. I took the valve off and inspected it prior to filling with an endoscope, and its pristine in the inside and out.

Good deal. Yeah that was a super good buy for sure.

FBA (Flat Broke Airgunner) ice cube on top of a balloon challenge The Airgunnero style

Proudly Philippine made GCMAG MAGNUM Gen2 and GF1000 barrel by Gilbert Felipe Felipe Gcmag, made pellets by JMS-Pro, Vector Optics Global Sentinel X scope, Protektor Model Deluxe BB rear bag as front rest and Protektor rabbit ear rear bag.

Im pretty sure the gun won't shoot slugs as its way under powered.

Max Velocity 25 cal – 625 FPS

Thats probably with some every light pellets. Get a chronograph and get some JTS 25.4 grainers and see what happens. Probably 500 FPS range with those.. Can always try the HN Field Target.. I think they are 22 grain. May work better in such a low power gun.

Mike

I hope you find your pouch.

Quick lost knife story:

When I was attending Purdue (mid-70's) I drove home to squirrel hunt (near Richmond, IN). I hunted alone in one of the woods that my Dad and I liked to hunt. Killed a few squirrels and cleaned them like usual there in the woods. I stuck the Old Timer pocket knife in a small hickory tree as I washed them up with a bottle of water I bring for that purpose. Yep, I forgot the knife.

Drove the 170 miles back to school. I talked to Dad the next day or two and told him I left my knife in a tree. He asked for me to describe where. I told him in the left back corner of the woods (about 40 acres) in a grove of shagbark hickory trees. Stuck in tree about head high. He called me in another day or two letting me know he found it!

Of course I eventually lost the knife again years later, never to be found again.

@Teep - One door shuts, another opens. I suggest looking at the wares on Airgun Revision's website. He has some really nice rifles, pistols and carbines.

PCP's are fun, get one that shoots cheap .22 Crosman pellets and a compressor.

The House vs. the Huben. Four of a kind.

As you can see, the house lost a few members.

Two were brain shot, on was neck shot, and the other was double lunged. Pictured below was the final squirrel I shot today. There was a pursuit in which I abandoned my Primos Trigger Stick bipod and the kill shot was a quick acquisition shot. I only took one shot at her, at relatively close range - say 15 yards give or take. This photo isn’t staged. Actually I’m unsure if I’d rotated her for this photo or another one, both taken in the same spot, she was just moved in one of them. After reviewing the photos again, this one was taken first so that may be how she fell. The position she’s in is odd to me, but you can tell it was lights out. That is exactly where she fell. She hardly even twitched after hitting the ground.

Hello @Ezana4CE

Looks like a big pot of squirrel stew for supper tonight, good shooting.

ThomasT

so what t can recommend about the impact is get the velocity you want with the lowest hammer spring setting you can achieve it with. Then start turning the valve in until your velocity just start to drop, then stop.

This is what did with my M3 and my extreme speed is low something like 6-8 fps

Good shooting hope this helps

@K80 Sooooo did you find a solution to the jam or a way to prevent it?

Click to expand...

Don't use slugs in this gun! The magazine is designed for pellets not slugs. Pellets are retained by the small chamfer in the magazine. Slugs don't have an oversize mating skirt. The only way slugs are prevented from moving around in the magazine is through friction. So size is critical.

I finally got fed up with this situation and now get all QYS from nordicmarksman.com

Shipping in quantity is not too terrible and coming from Canada, has been reasonably quick.

They have been very reliable vendors and stock lots of stuff for precision shooting that can be hard to find elsewhere.

Thanks for the info guys !!!

You're welcome! There's also a K1 thread with over 100 pages if you need ANYTHING lol

I have the Venturi Male Disconnect as per Dairyboy's recommendation above. It wa working fine the first time I hooked it all up. I could fill the problem-filled Taipan and then the nipple (terminology?) BRK Ghost without much trouble. Today I had air escaping from the foster fitting. I tightened it, still leaked. So I took the quick disconnect out of the chain and screwed the problem on directly. Worked fine.

I don't know what I did different or wrong? It seems like teflon tape isn't supposed to be used on these hoses? Or would that be the answer. The air isn't escaping through the problem but where the disconnect connects to my compressor hose.

Ideas?
