You will need at least .65" to clear the stock .177 mag. Carm is your friend when it comes to extra mags. I have high capacity and low capacity 13 rd and 10 rd from Carm. Medium rings should give you the right amount of height. Mine are sports match 1" rings. A 3-4" mod is all that is needed to tame the bark. Mine wears a 30mm 2 section huma. The barrel pretty much ends where the shroud stops so it does very little to reduce the sound signature.

The review on this post shows about 5 oz both semi and side lever. I really want one of these but not with a 5lb trigger!

What was your answer from TkO.

TKO was a ton of help. He built me a 6.5" slip on moderator and it's great. Super quiet now and still ridiculously accurate.

@Plinkalot
I suggest searching the “Optics” forum for threads with answered to some of your questions. I don’t have this scope, but have seen several threads asking some similar questions.

I had the old chairgun. The machine that had it is no longer functional. I have not found a replacement yet. Are these any good?

I think they are great apps.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Also the gauge on regulator actually is not a regulator gauge but measures the pressure in the plenum, correct?

Click to expand...

That depends entirely on how your gun is made. If it has two guages, then one gauge will be for the air tank fill pressure and the other gauge will be for the plenum (which will be showing what the regulator is set at).

VA have a brand new video on tuning the M4 too.

I'm getting away from youtube and videos in general. I'll search for something specific and quickly check my (few) subscriptions but don't surf any more.

The lure of easy youtube money has spawned millions of "creators" who don't know what they are talking about. It's just not worth the time to try to sort out the bull$hit. I feel bad for newbies watching these false "experts" who are only interested in likes and subscriptions to "grow the channel".

Can understand that knowledgeable creators are getting overwhelmed by the wannabes and are backing off.

That was ingenious! Glad things are back on track.

I'm still getting back to this custom theme for couple of reasons. I know you are wise and seasoned but everyone needs a hint every now and then.

First, I honestly don't believe there is anything even remotely satisfying to your taste and need readily available, especially online.

Second, if there was a place to have a holster made, it would most definitely be in Texas US. I would see this as self explanatory.

Third, having invested good money on quality products like Edgun and Huben, it would be a long lasting road of regret and self loathing if you stick to cheap non-functioning and probably dangerous solutions. Treat yourself.

Fourth, safety.
I'm not yet too familiar with Huben but I say this because of what I have read.
Personally I would really love to have the holster barrel end blocked slug proof in the hopefully never occurring accidental discharge. The energy one puts out would not be problematic to stop if the holster was custom made, and you have made clear you absolutely do not want a moderator.

Fifth, snug fit.
They make holsters that clamp around the gun so no need for all kinds of straps.
I would suspect some down time leaving the pistol in the shop but in my opinion well worth it. If you are okay with the red dot, it would be so easy for them to make you happy.

So, my short list would be:
Color
Texture
Snug fit, open top
Pellet/slug stopper
Chest/hip carry

I hope you find something nice

I think the Daystate Huntsman Revere, the AA S510 series, and the FX DRS would be my top 3 picks. If you can track down the DRS Deluxe I think thats what I would be most drawn to.

One thing to keep in mind is that most all pellets will not like to be pushed too hard or too fast. The common fps cap recommendation for pellets is 850-880. Some pellets in some setups with some tunes will do well at faster speeds, but that is not the norm.

The air charge your pcp releases to push a pellet matters too. If the air charge is too aggressive even at slow speeds, you can disrupt flight out of the muzzle.

Some of us run very fast pellet speeds for hunting purposes, but there are drawbacks. For example my M3 Impact is setup to push 22Cal Hades at about 990fps right now. I get good groups out to about 60yds, but then the pellets veer off and really open up my groups. If I wanted to get a pellet out further I would choose a heavier pellet, slow it down, and tune for max accuracy.

Pellets are very very sensitive and have terrible ballistic properties. They can spiral through the air like a plane missing a wing, or randomly take a right turn etc. They like being lobbed gently toward your target, and can provide some terrific accuracy if you treat them right. So when deciding for a target tune and fps, its good to understand how pellets act/react.

My office is taking shape slowly but surely.

Saturday I spent some time making a gun rack for my current favourites.
This morning I re-arranged some if the shelves in the cupboard behind me to accommodate all sorts of shooting related stuff, my old bar fridge and my 3D printer.

It is small, but it is mine.

It remains a work in progress.

Do you guy keep a log of settings/tunes for your favorite pellets and uses?

---

Click to expand...

Yes, even for the breakbarrels, at least to record what holds and pellets I've tried. Very quickly I realized I'd forget things. I use a lab type notebook with gridded pages; office max/depot/staples has them, soft-bound. If I have to go back and look something up, I also record it in a table of contents, because if I looked once, I'll probably look again. Next to actually shooting the gun, the notes have been most helpful.

I think it means:

HT - 5 turns clockwise inward from minimum tension
HS - 5 turns clockwise from striker fully retracted flush to hammer
TS - 5 turns CCW from fully closed

Thank you!!

Looks like 4 and 6 m lots of this posted and answered around especially at agbb

Just measure your length needed and buy ftom wherever / Amazon ..

my rear screw m4 I replaced the slotted with a torx pan head ... I have no issues with the rest . Just that one was factory defective I guess

Ok guys,
c3 has arrived and initial inspection went well,
everything about the scope is as expected,
this is my third budget scope,
some pics as comparison with my utg bug buster!!!
the first crosshair is of c3
and the second is of utg.
both have exact cross hair Pattern.
both weigh exactly the same.
both take the same 1620 cell
and last but not least
both have same exact length.

So far accuracy with mine has been awesome with most slugs but best with nsa 298 knurled

Click to expand...

Great to hear, I just ordered one from Talon Tunes with some 285 grain zans. Has anyone ran 200 grain slugs out of this rifle yet? I'm just a paper puncher so not worried about reduced stopping power but I would think a lighter weight slug would have a flatter trajectory for better accuracy.

Nice shooting

The Notos is no toy but I regress, please have fun.

Tried pellets in the Mak, very tedious to load, but definitely better group than the Gamo bb's.
Looking at the right hand target, the holes marked in blue are five 6.9 gr Super H-Point, the red ones are the Gamos.
This was shot at 10m with a two hand hold, don't know why the pellets grouped at one o'clock, the aim point was the same for every shot.
The left target is ten Gamo bb's at 10m with a single arm hold, some even went in the black...

View attachment 516857

I then tried the Gamos again at 10m with a two hand hold, ten shots, much better result.

View attachment 516858

Ultimately, they are a fun gun, and I certainly have fun when shooting mine at any distance!

That slide spring is mighty stiff, perhaps the same one used in the real Mak. And that can make loading pellets tedious, as you say. If you install a lighter spring then loading pellets becomes a much more pleasant process.
I changed that spring after the slide hammered my fingers once or twice

Not in my guns.

AEA & JTS 18.1gr pellets seem to tighten up at 900fps or even faster.

That make sense to me. Thank you for the info.
