In the states, retailers sold the 3 barrel old stock for the same price as the one barrel after the price change.
I don’t know all the changes they made, but a few were the barrel nut addition, bottle on/off switch, and maybe some internal stuff that isn’t as obvious.

As for your customer service, doesn’t match mine overall. Excellent quick feedback, quick shipping, etc. I have one general question go unanswered the last 2 weeks but it was a small thing and not high priority. I also understand that the person I asked isn’t sitting behind a desk answering questions all day. I sent the same question to a retailer I’m familiar with and they answered it fast.

so, Mike what pistols do you like

I received my Magpul Daka Grid today. They don't make it specifically for my Pelican iM3100 Storm case and I thought about buying another case that has a Daka Grid available for but I really love the case I already have. I decided to buy an oversized Daka Grid and cut it to size. I plan to use the reconfigurability to alternate between my two rifles.

1200 to 1300 on the reg with 0 or maybe one turn on the spring . Don't shoot your eye out !

Have seen threads elsewhere where some MK 2s were modified. One was made into a .25 by Wes at airgunarcheryfun and was getting near 1000 FPS.

The big things to do were open up the transfer port, adjust the piston close to the valve, and install a weaker hammer spring.

I have been making my own 3D .50 cal shot shell capsules for my Wingshots for over a year. But now I have a .72 cal AEA Harpoon and need shot capsules for it. Instead of making my own 3D or paying $1+ for them on line, I came up with a solution that anyone can make and shoot for less than 3 cents plus lead each. I buy a bag of 500 12ga shotgun wads for $12. Cut the cup off one end and cut the wad off the other. Slip the cup half way in the shell holder and fill with whatever weight shot you want. Put the wad on top and pack it down in the holder. Will not fall out. That’s it! I have shot a couple hundred of these. You can pack them differently using different brand wads to have them open at closer or longer ranges unlike the 3D ones that shatter in the barrel.

That's awesome! I'd love to see a picture or video of the ammo or shells you use. I've played with wads some with it. Still hard to get anything affordable that works good.

I have two pcps at about 18 or 19 fpe. A Marauder pistol and a P35 in 177. Each has taken 17 squirrels. I lost one with the 177 because I shot it in the rear end. My fault obviously. The squirrel dropped but crawled off and I couldn't find it. I lost 2 with the Prod when it was at the original tune and thus 13 or 14 fpe. After I tuned it up the only one I lost was a brain shot that flipped itself into a rotted out area at the base of the tree I shot it from. The squirrels do not die quite as quickly with my "little guns" as with my 30-50 fpe 22s and 25s but when I do my part they die quick enough. If I did not have to worry about where a missed shot up in a tree would land I'd probably use a 25 tuned to 30-40 fpe or more. I took one with my P35-25 when it was tuned to only 32 fpe by shooting it in the jaw. Crushed it's skull. I've taken 30 with my more powerful PCPs and lost none. They all work great when I place the pellet properly but I think a little more power helps when my shot isn't ideal.

Looking for a smooth metal muzzle break for my rws Diana 48 any out the or athoughts no plastic please

In my mind this is the only choice. Tony has a few left, the OG Taipan Vet Gen 1 in 25Cal.

I would love one of these but I blew the wad on the gk1. Not sure if that was the right choice or not...

A 357 pumper would be insane and id be in line money in hand for one for sure

That's what I did with the aspen .25 and it stacks them at 50 yards although yes, barrel seems a bit flimsy and I waited to see the nova freedom fixed before I jumped on it. The pump is not that hard to rebuild. It's actually a .435 diameter barrel so I've actually considered replacing it with a bull .550 diameter barrel for rigidity and using the aspen barrel on a crosman 22xx pcp build with barrel bands.

Thanks for a nice story. I did nothing but miss the whole month of October, the start of the season here. Then I shot 5 in November. I was using my P35-177 on all the hits and most of the misses. I'm sure some misses were me getting excited but I decided to shoot a target where the first cell was the first shot, the one right of that the second etc. I did not shoot again for at least 12 hours. I found out the H&N FTT that work well on 30 yard challenge targets were not as dependable for the first shot as the Baracuda Match I previously used. I switched and started connecting.

Can anyone tell me the outside diameter of the Sharp pan target barrel please.

Thanks! I’m just wanting accuracy out of this one and a good shot count would be welcome. I have an Avenge-X .22 coming for higher power tunes and tinkering. How do you know when your hammer spring is too strong for your valve? If I tune it at 3,000 psi and shoot it to 2,000 does it start making a noise when it doesn’t have enough push back?

Click to expand...

Your valve is different and may have a lower sweet spot. As for knowing about the spring tune, a chrono for monitoring diminishing returns and an ear out for a change in noise that is a little more poof than in used to be. That's the best advice I have. Sorry it involves a bit of tribal knowledge and feel. Your preference in tune is important too. I had to make the best of what I had on a full fill with mine being 25. As simply put as I can, I basically watch the chronograph and adjust things till i can achieve a happy middle ground of accuracy, noise, velocity, and efficiency is a function of those things sort of. Certain characteristics walk hand in hand from my 7 ft lb crosmans to my 70 ft lb fx stuff, efficiency tends to come with accuracy and low noise. Lmk how it goes

I just sold some of these to a gauntlet owner last week. Awaiting feedback:

Congratulations, nice buck

I have an Air Ranger and have found I get the highest acuracy with the single shot tray, or the Rowan loader above. I have never figured out why, but the mags are just not as accurate - OK, but not as good. The CARM mag works about the best, despite being the cheapest of all the iterations I have tried - and I tried them all . . . (but not the Canadian one - they don't list compatability with the Air Ranger).

They're excellent. First, though, they don't actually track your aim, just your movement. They're first rate at that, and used well, they *will* improve your shooting. Like any other tool, it's up to you to use it well. They will not teach you to shoot. If your fundamntals are poor, you'll just be learning how to improve fundamentally poor practices.

The coaching is well, a "hint" - don't take it too literally. It's a guess based on what you're doing. If you're a rank amateur, the guess is more likely correct than it is if you're fairly advanced. Check out the guidance, but exercise discretion and don't take it to heart if it doesn't seem to ring true.

Interesting side note: I've watched a half dozen reviews (including some from shooters I respect) that really haven't used these. They took it out of the box, hooked it up, and fired a few rounds - then made a video about it. Those folks have missed out, and so have their viewers. Deliberate practice with the Mantis is enlightening. Trying it a few times is ... well, ... nothing.

I'm firmly in the pro-mantis camp.

GsT

Edit: I was going to mention the (much more expensive) Scatt system, which does track your aim as well as your movement. Another great tool (rifle only), with its own limitations. They're made in Russia, so they were unavailable for awhile, I haven't looked to see the status today. These are in the tool kit of nearly every olympic rifle team.

Just looked at link. Very cool! Some are pre-vintage, almost Paleolithic

Nice idea!

From Google search: The Daisy V/L was the first production rifle for caseless ammunition. It was released in 1968 by Daisy Outdoor Products.
In 1961, Cass Hough, the president of Daisy Heddon division of Victor Comptometer, purchased the design of a new firearm system. The new system was developed by a Belgian chemist named Jules Van Langenhover. The new gun would be known as the Daisy V/L rifle....

Caseless ammo firearm is not an AIRGUN.

Thanks everyone

FYI it was only slightly bigger than the Holosun, so rather compact. It lets you change the battery without changing zero, which is always a plus. I might buy it for my PP700SA. Found it on Amazon. Votatu RMD502-R. 1 MOA red dot with a Picatinny mount.

As an owner of .25 & .30 guns I don't mind the extra cost of the .30. It's far more dependable at long range in "sketchy" conditions but I mainly hunt, not target shooting so I'm only going through 30-40 pellets average on a typical outing.

Gun arrived the other day. After reading posts here, watching videos, and reading on Reddit. I was pretty confident this gun would be a good value and punch above it's price point.

MA2 standard .25

Saw allot of people talking about the stock being flimsy. Honestly so much chatter about it nearly passed on it.

I'm so glad I didn't!!

The front lower mount is not best out there. But for me it's definitely not as bad as some have made it sound. One video made it look like hot rubber. First thing I did was mount a bi-pod and see if that was the case. And it took reasonable effort to get it to move around half as much as some video showed.

So unless im flinging my gun about like a mad man while mounted. It stayed plenty sturdy for me and didn't harm shots or accuracy at all.

When handling and treating the gun as I would any other gun, I never once noticed the stock.

Essentially if I wanted it to flex I had to make it do it. But I added two tiny tiny rubber chucks anyway. And pretty much zero movement.

In conclusion TO ME, some of the talk about the stock is overblown. I'm glad I didn't let it effect my purchase because it's an awesome experience right out the box.

The gun absolutely out performed my initial expectations of a gun at that price point.

Sorry for any grammatical errors. Long fingers small phone life.
