FX  Fx liners quality

Plot twist: Maybe the liner was perfectly fine before you started ramming things through it and polishing it.

You said you had some inconsistent groups with slugs when you first got that one. Yeah... slugs do that. It's kind of their thing. Consider investing lots of time and effort in trying different slugs and different tunes before taking tools to the barrel.

Good luck with any warranty claim after polishing the liner. FX should rightfully tell a customer to pack sand in that situation.

Not trying to sound rude, but this reminds of a guy here a year or two ago who basically ruined a perfectly good Red Wolf by immediately taking tools to it right out of the box because of "tips" here learned here and elsewhere, instead of just shooting the dang gun.

We are our own worst enemy sometimes. Fix it 'til it's broke.

@tradecraft6f did you ever install that 3100 psi Ninja reg? if so, how's it going and what slug are you using?

Other  Huben, Western, LCS, & other semi auto's... Preventative maintenance and lube in the action's?

No preventative maintenance but I have I have stocked up on o-rings and spare parts for the k1.

Lubing the o-ring that seals the opening valve might be a good idea since the valve is constantly moving through it.

N/A  S&W 79G Trigger Work and Seals - How difficult?

On the ex vale just blow compressor air into it and it come;s apart.
Are you blowing air into the chamber where the co2 cartridge normally sits, after loosening the screws that hold the valve body? I never thought of that … I like it!
And for those who do not have a compressor, could they fill the co2 chamber with water and then screw the cap back on, using the hydraulic pressure to push the valve out? Just a thought.

Brocock/BRK  Atomic, Ghost and Pathfinder XRs… a

I had a sweet, nighttime plinking session with my Atomic. Followed by a sweet session the next day with my Pathfinder XR. Which prompted this post… When I first received my Ghost Carbine, for a while it felt like the Pathfinder was in jeopardy. After downsizing the scope on the Pathfinder the Ghost has made me appreciate the Pathfinder more. And by the same token my Pathfinder makes me appreciate my Atomics all the more for their small, outsized utility. A simple HPA hand pump and off you go… The Ghost being the latest is still fairly new to me, and am trying to figure out where “it” fits in the stable. That it is a PCP amendable to many different, efficient and effective iterations is a given. Its been proven in competition and in the field by many others…🙏 For me, I have found that “less is more” in my pesting and plinking endeavors. As for the Ghosts’ role? TBD…

Short rat kill video 09.13.24

Love it… good shooting on those nasty vermin… At those ranges the CPHPs will get it done at half the price… I remember going through two tins of AAs 16 grain pellets slaughtering roosting starlings at night. Felt foolish as the ranges were really short, after that I’ve standardized on CPHPs for all my sub 40 yard pesting… Give it a try you may be surprised at their effectiveness, particularly at those close distances… Here’s a 20 yard shot ou5 of my Atomic XR…

Yeah, I understand about the CPHP’s. I just have so many of the 25.39’s. Plus a lot of the heavy HADES. They shoot so good out of my GHOST. I also get a lot of chances at further shot distances. I actually killed one last night at 40 yards.

Scope fog

A scuba mask fogs up all the time. Your body heat warms the air and constantly fogs the lens. There are dozens of products and dozens of home remedies. Paste wax works great. Saliva works great. Lemon or lime juice. Silicone grease. Armor All or "Son of a gun" protectant...

Lots of products help. But toothpaste works best. It's got a little fine abrasive. If you used it on coated lenses it would probably damage them after multiple uses. But it won't scratch glass and makes the best anti-fog treatment out there.

You don't have to rub it on the glass. Just gently smear a little on there and wipe it off. You can let it dry and brush it off. I bet you could use it for years and never see any damage to the glass. I use it on eyeglasses all the time when wearing a respirator and it eliminates fog completely. I honestly dont THINK it will damage a scope at all but I suppose that depends on the coatings.
After posting this question I have realized there are sooooo many options to prevent your scope from fogging up!!! I think I am going to just stick with the old take my gun outside before getting everything else ready to shoot so it can just acclimate itself! I do appreciate the advice tho!!👍🏻
