Ive never heard of that. I would like to see exactly what it is that happens.

Just like a PCP, if there is too much air pressure pumped in, the hammer doesn't have enough energy to open the valve. On my 362, I had left it pumped and loaded for a couple days. When the intended target reappeared, I grabbed it and pumped it 8 times without thinkin. Opened the bolt and realized it was already cocked. When I tried to fire it, just click of the hammer dropping. Cocked it and tried several times. Disassembly of those is easy, just like a Discovery or 1377. The plastic clamshell styles can be a bit tricky. Good luck.

Here are three more cheap air rifles I picked up recently. Crosman 760 Pumpmasters. All three of these shoot as they should. This makes about a dozen Pumpmasters I have now, including a couple new in the box(es).

I'd love to have my Walther LGR trigger in my BM RAW. Bad triggers are no joy for me & just can't keep em around.

Yea I have the huben cricket. I would love to put that on my gauntlet with the 700cc tank.

View attachment 558460

I move things around just to test things out between my various guns. The G30 currently has a non-plenum Cricket and a 700cc bottle. Which is why I was going to do the big plenum setup.

rear mounted bottle stock?

It's going to be a turd floater. Lots of folks are going to be displaced. I hope it's not as bad as they are predicting.

I bet ol' Jace has his pellet guns stuffed up in the rafters and is on the highway north to the closest high spot. I hope he's o.k.

I don't know how the air tank over barrel thing will work with the "other" company like the panda.

Excellent shooting
You seem to have an endless supply of groundhogs in your area. I purchased a rifle last year specifically for hunting groundhogs that I’ll probably be placing in the classifieds soon since the farmers employees seem to have dispatched all of them. I haven’t seen one of them on the farms in the past two months.

Thank you so much.
I have been taking out a very large amount with each outing for sure. They are hard to track down, as they usually do everything they can to avoid humans. They are also very hard to eliminate. Who would have thought I would be at number 59 after 57 or 58? It's like they have a groundhog copy machine running 24/7!!

This isn't exactly what you are showing, but is a related example to avoid:
It works, but I'm not super happy with my Megaorei, but it is a 720p. It looks like a little security camera mounted in a tube that slips over a small regular scope eyepiece, and connects to a screen that mounts on top, next to an IR illuminator. It looks like this one:

Day & Night Vision Rifle Scope Hunting Sight Infrared 850nm LED IR Camera DIY | eBay

Infrared technology: Increase the range and accuracy. Our high-power 850nm infrared illuminator allows you to easily reset to zero on any target, up to 300+ yards! Applicable gun types: rifle, shotgun, crossbow.

www.ebay.com

What is good is that the IR works and the security camera picks up the IR light even in darkness. What is bad is that the view screen is way to bright on even the lowest setting, totally destroying any night vision my eyes might have, so that I have to wear sunglasses at night to view it. And the dynamic range seems limited, either objects are too bright or too dim to see, so I have to pass my hand over or play with the IR light to get them visible.
In a set location it could be optimized to work reasonably well, like a hide or table to snipe rats at night at specific location, but it isn't a scope for glassing the woods or backyard as one walks around.

Thanks!
Yeah I didn't add that one to the list because it just looked too bulky. It def. has alot going on haha.

@N2Shooter Well you certainly look prepared. Which caliber and gun did you use? What's that that you have rigged up to skin it?

The first time I got a squirrel, I had a difficult time skinning it. This device makes it a piece of cake even for city slickers like me!

doly.the.sheep · Oct 7, 2024

Hello gentlemen.
I was wondering if there was a specific term for these type of buttstocks for MCAR and Edgun leishy 2 where the bottles are attached in reverse.

Also, are there any aftermarket buttstocks like these for other airgun models?

Thanks a lot and much appreciated in advance!

I was wondering what it was I wouldn't agree with, as on my laptop all your headings are invisible!! I only managed to see it when I selected it and all the headings suddenly became visible.

If you're going to use BC's then you may as well use multiple BC's as they will never entirely match the drag law of any pellet other than the one used as a basis. Me personally, I'm a purpose drag law man, but I know most people won't have the means to get them. Even with purpose drag laws, you will often require calibration factors (fiddle factors) to match flight measurements. What's good enough for the artillery is plenty good enough for me.

Fiddle factors are what make or break many models, definitely a love/hate relationship with them, perfectionist me says to heck with em, while the other half of me that enjoys making things functional gives them praise.

I call BC ballistic calibration now that I understand them and how they function. I can see why the likes of Hornady and yourself are purpose drag law driven. BC is an antiquated method for calculating ballistics, but its the best hobbyist have until every projectile has its own purpose drag law and we simply use projectile diameter/reference area opposed to BC to calculate drag, at least from my understanding.

those looks like peice of normal black foam place on top of the wood stock. Doesn't look nice imo. I like the look of the cheek riser on the magpul but not sure if it would line up with the notches on the stock notos. If anyone have the cheek riser for the magpul and test to see if it fits on the notos stock would be nice.

Yeah It wouldn't look good was just suggesting something. I got the Buck Rail Notos adapter kit which uses AR buffer and whatever stock you want. I used this for riser on normal ar stock

Why not wait till the M10

EmptyTin_Tim · Oct 20, 2024

Hey guys I have a little update. So my Avenger squished out an o ring and I need a replacement, need to know the size I posted about here https://www.airgunnation.com/thread...e-plug-o-ring-for-bottle-adapter-kit.1321150/

Anyway since it was out of air I decided to pull it apart and get the poppet under inspection.

Poppet is totally fine. I think the issue is the lighter replacement spring is not ground flat. The spring must rotate certain times of shooting and the coil hangs up the poppet and makes it stick sideways. See photos

So I am going back to original spring.

Hoping this stops the brrrrrt air dump!

So I have This Scope and im looking for flip up covers. I measured (roughly) the diameter of the housing of the objective and eyepiece lenses. eye piece is 43mm obj is 55mm. I was looking at These covers and im not sure if they wouuld fit or not since the eyepiece measured around 43mm. but as i said those are rough measurements. I couldnt find my calipers and had to use a ruler and so those are rough measurements. im thinking maybe the eye piece is ACTUALLY 44mm and my measurement was off a bit. Does anyone have the Hammers 4-12x40 and know what size flip ups i need? TIA.

@Grundy1133 These cost less and I use them alot. Be sure that your measurements fit within the size parameters in the "objective diameter" and "eyepiece diameter" drop-down menus. https://www.amazon.com/Monstrum-Rubberized-Flip-Up-Objective-Diameter/dp/B0B75WRY5L/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1DD7GWGPUPOKR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.L1rXTSatxSSfY-j1f8UnLrahHole-1dZZ_l5mfIXc5LtkfoZrl5LcYjfNYWbydZhqOhrgM2rDPlNrHt4YlsScA-XJMH9N2fKllZlFYLmJsZLhCpYAWMwT7I3Djk8PFMMv5Jb5weGVs2iw9J90D6iN-JDWDv7rupJMgMvlgEtrEqtFFGqmUU-wvXh3RU-c-tfVNbDWBmTquA6CvvbBezDJY8M9TDRfGTHIn9YkDZWEAZZSzL7mla9TKKnfyYjLLdbAQYhcd8Uy7sLTPdDuMsv3VbcWnzSUpGsGfP8hLRaf_o.f04L0RshRiJKBkRmO9EnyhvTMv-0Vmjp9U6FXKwOM0Q&dib_tag=se&keywords=monstrum+scope+covers+flip+up&qid=1728387237&sprefix=Monstrum+scope+covers,aps,321&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

Nice rifle.

oooh I like the sound of that ..

Pfddi · Oct 7, 2024

Thanks @TMH - I found the view but now I have another problem that I had when I got the gun. One of the M4-10 screws (15) came stripped when I got the gun new, so I have never been able to take the barrel off. I guess I'll have to figure out how to remove it and then replace it. I may try and take it to a machine shop and see if they can't get it out for me. I don't have the tools to do that. Here's the problem screw. Then maybe I can get it apart to change the o-ring.

Your welcome. Crow

Thanks. Crow

Thanks. I thought being Webley‘s couldn’t go wrong. Go for it. Crow

Thanks for that info. Had no idea. I’m the same age as the Senior. I was used a lot more than it. Have the scraps and dents to prove it.
This Senior hasn’t been used, but it will now.
Are they similar to a rifle to work on? Only smaller scale. Crow

yes, and I think simpler too.. great find.

I could have sworn I saw someone mentioned that they got a Huma-Air regulator for Vulcan 3 in 30 caliber that can go over 175 bar but I can't find that posting. Anyone know of anyone that has? Was wondering how it performs and what foot pounds of energy at 200 bar it's putting out for different grains.

ask kyles1990. the reg was something specifically made based on their development/input.

i think you might be looking for this:

Airgun Technologies - Vulcan 3 HP (high power) .30

If you shoot with HP you have to use heavy slugs... the 2.2 gram are shot with supersonic speed and there is a big bang :) If you shoot subsonic - the rifle is very quiet... And unfortunately i can not ship to Finland :(
