Snowpeak  Pinty Poppet

pat585 said:
Thank's for the offer 6gun. I'm waiting to see what Pinty has to say. I'm filling with my AV 4500 compressor. & it worked before. I also contacted Maple Custom, as they make a lot of Snowpeak poppets. They said they are not familiar with the Pinty guns but I sent them the measurements & they will check when they get back on 8/21. They also said they can custom make one in Delrin or Peek for any gun as long as they have the shaft size in stock & the measurements. I would probably just exchange it but I have already stripped & re stained the stock.

I was making them out of delrin at first and then generic acetal (non name brand delrin) in a different color because of an incident with a client and not my valve. The shafts can be made from precision ground drill rod stock too. It's not awful to do . If you had a manual job shop near you I bet getting a handful made wouldn't be expensive, and you'd have the stash of unobtainium.

OK, yes, that is the S6. However, is that the FT model or the Benchrest model? Two different offerings from Sightron, according to their website.

sightron.com

S6 10-60x56 EDBench Rest

Sightron's latest Bench Rest competition riflescope with ED glass elements for 55% more resolution than the industry standard S3 Model. Max magnification of 60x and a close range parallax correction of 9 yards.

not to shabby for a 59.00 airgun at wallyworld.

Somebody gave me a silver edition 880 for free and it's an astonishingly good gun for being a wally world budget plastic gun. Especially so with bbs. I got a crosman 2100 with it that is equally surprising with pellets.... Especially it's power level

Why does FX come out with so many different rifles ?

.20calguy
EPG said:
Regarding this thread’s original topic regarding why so many FX models…

Most all FX guns use the same barrels and essentially the same trigger design.

To me, barrels and triggers are the most critical areas where you can improve/optimize performance. So I’d like to see FX focus a bit on trigger performance. They seem to have started some R&D in that area by adding a lever to the M4 trigger.

FX had also made their barrel systems more rigid with their recent “plenum over the barrel” platforms. Unfortunately for me, I’ve shied away from trying those designs as they reduce/eliminate the shroud volume - and I require low noise designs to allow backyard shooting.

Just my opinion, but it does seem FX is trying to innovate in those two areas (barrels and triggers) that are most important to me (well, beginning to improve their sorely lacking triggers). I love that caliber swaps are easy and that you can essentially try a new “barrel” cost effectively by just swapping out the liner in your existing barrel. With other premium brands, barrel swaps can be prohibitively expensive.

I’m not so focused on fancy pressure regulation systems (dual regulators, electronic feedback loop regulation) as I’ve had fantastic target result with well set up unregulated rifles - so I think you can achieve excellent velocity regulation at a moderate cost - i.e. a single Huma mechanical regulator.

I’d love to see FX introduce a simple electronic trigger- like on the Daystate Renegade. Powered by a 9V battery, the Renegade’s trigger can be set so light and yet still two stage and with great feel and consistency. I’ve been unable to set up my 6 FX triggers to be anywhere near as nice as my Renegade’s trigger. I don’t need/want an entirely electronic rifle like some Daystate/Scout platforms. Maybe eventually as costs come down, but not right now.

Overall, I think the most important innovation that FX has demonstrated is that you don’t need an (expensive, heavy) solid steel barrel to shoot pellets/slugs effectively. Those steel barrels seem a holdover from powder burners where the steel was necessary to handle gun powder expansion pressures - not necessary to handle PCP pressures. I’d like to see FX (and other manufacturers) continue to innovate in barrel technology - perhaps even pure carbon fiber barrels someday with extremely smooth (low friction) bores with rifling optimized for specific projectile choice (pellets, slugs, hybrids, future projectiles).

I’ve got 3 Crowns that shoot lights out with pellets. Give me a simple bolt-in electronic trigger for my Crowns and Dreamlines and I’m in pellet rifle nirvana…

I don't know how the Crowns trigger could be improved on?

I’ve been dreaming and scheming about a RAW pistol lately too. I’d like to turn one into a little carbine for silhouette and plinking. What are you planning?

I want to see if one can be built with a pistol tube air cylinder instead of a bottle .

just my guess the individual product would , gun stock , would tie up the inspection station to much ?

I’ve witnessed when someone comes from an island on vacation and brings a souvenir from that place. Made out of wood. Well, you should know better. They will go up one side of you a down the other. Some get away. It’s right on you declaration forms they hand you on the plane.
I was in Thailand a few years back. I was going to send a container of Teak until I found out about the inspection. Crow

AEA  My gun oozes silicone oil sometimes

Normkel
Many people don't understand that grease is not super thick oil. Grease is composed of a carrier (functions like a sponge) to hold the lubricant such as oil, at least that is simple way to begin to understand grease.

When one is specifiying a lubricant, the characteristics of the carrier (such as a lithium soap, clay, or other material) impacts the temperature range, and many other factors. Ditto the oil component that dictates the pressure tolerance.

The correct silicone grease is suitable for high loading applications. A factor often overlooked is that grease can protect metal surfaces better than oil because it can be formed into an enduring barrier. Depending on the grease or oil, either one can absorb water, acids or other contaminents.

One downside of grease is that it is more difficult to remove in order to remove trapped contaminents.

Technical professionals will know that understanding lubricants can be a life's work, but if one simply consults the manufacturer's specifications (gun/mechanism and lubricant) for a proper match.

It can be a disservice to consider greases, or oils as having one characteristic.

New rpb vs older lr rti barrels

Vetmx
None of my RPB barrels (3) will outshoot my CZ RTI barrel in .25 with a 25.39 pellet. But the RPB’s close the gap or exceed the CZ with a 33.95gr pellet. It’s close. The CZ will also shoot a Polymag, the RPB’s are not close with that pellet either. The CZ will also shoot bent skirt pellets like there’s nothing wrong with them. That’s a sign of a good choke.

Daystate  Used Daystate Air Wolf CDT .25, switched to used BRK sniper XR magnum .25

N
Daystate Airwolf CDT .25 is nice, but there were a few technical details that were to much for me to work out ( it was a .22 NOT a .25 ) so I switched to a used

Brocock/BRK Sniper XR Magnum .25 Cal with moderator and Hawk Vantange 30 WA SF IR 6-24x50​

Screenshot 2025-09-03 175724.png


The Airwolf was a .22 not a .25, I wanted a .25. The Brocock is a .25. Hopefully I made right choice, I think the longer range is better and a bit more power on the BRK xr sniper Magnum. They said that model Brocock won a few competitions they say. So should be accurate.

Taipan  Taipan Slash

ram2jeep said:
I have had the Slash for almost a month now and have a few thoughts. After running through about 3 or 4 magazines I began to have the magazine not advance.
I went right to youtube and found how to correct the problem; hasn’t happened again and believe it occurred because I went to a heavier slug. This rifle is sturdy and is definitely easy to adjust; degas, add reg gauge, upping or lowering regulator pressure.
The regulator came to me at about 120 and was shooting 26gr AVS at roughly 890. I have since adjusted and went to 145 bar and shoot the same AVS at roughly 942fps.
With the increase in speed the rifle shot tighter groups of groups which were already tight. I have only been testing the AVS slugs and for the magazines sent, excellent quality, my rifle loves the .2183 flat.
I can definitely say I am extremely pleased with this rifle.

My Vet2 Tac 550mm .22 also shoots the AVS 20gr Dish .2183's as accurately as pellets!

Rochester Brooks results August 16

Poopshoot55
Set up the course yesterday with Doug Rogers, was calling for 89 today with light breeze. Got to the club at 8 to set up the practice range, people started rolling in and helped set up, which was greatly appreciated. Had Glenn and Nathan Thomas show up which was a nice surprise. Was about 70 degrees at the start at 9:30 and 85 at 12:15pm when we finished, winds were moderate at 5mph with slight gusts to 10, sometimes switching to our backs. We had one new shooter David who used my seat and borrowed some sticks, hopefully he will be back. High score of the day was Greg Shirhall with a 48 in Hunter Piston. Had 3 cold lines that were resolved quickly. For people who have shot with and know Doug Rogers, he went into the hospital today with health issues, please keep him in your thoughts. Results are as follows.
