Mine does that too. I can turn the mag about half a slot ccw. It's not an issue as far as I'm aware. As long as the mag cannot spin freely when the lever is down, you're good.

Same reason your toilet paper is 4 ply, but your t-shirts from Walmart is 2 ply. This way, your paying a premium to wipe your butt, however the fabric to cover it won't last more than 30 washes before falling apart.

That's no way to treat an M3!

Thanks, I plan on recontouring the stock some and doing inlays. That's the one down side for me about Matadors is the blocky edges on the stock.

Anytime my friend !

I don't know anything about the talon, actually have been looking at a Condor 22 caliber.. not sure what difference is between them although the Condor seems more powerful, and I was looking at shooting jsb beasts.. most guns the magazine is too small for them..
anyway I have a question about what you said.. your new gun worked perfectly and then you did some adjustments..
isn't there any where in the manual or something that says a starting point? so like if you get it out of adjustment, can't you set it to whatever number and orface and basically start at factory settings..
I'd like to hear more, especially if I decide to get a Condor 22 and not regret doing it..
I'd actually like a Texan in 22 caliber so I could have a 36" barrel instead of the 24" Condor..
mostly looking for extreme long distances..
I've got a couple others that I am considering so I'm trying to get some research done before I spend money

Hope this helps some. I have not worked on a tune yet on my Condor .22 because I want to try some slugs first but this is at 1.5 out of 12 on the power wheel 3000psi original top hat using JSB Beast and Hades Monster pellets at just 30 yards. As I said, I'm not working on a tune just yet but the groups got better going from 1 to 1.5 on the wheel. I want to try 34-40 grain slugs first before I decide what I want to tune it for.

As for the TalonSS I would try giving the barrel a good cleaning first. I have seen airforce make a remark that when a gun gets sent back to them for accuracy problems, they will clean the barrel with some JB Bore Bright and it normally takes care of the problem. AOA also has a cleaner degreaser that some people think is okey. Just something to consider. I used both JB polishing products on a TalonP and I felt like it did a good job and the groups were better. Pasadena Mike seems to like the results it was his TalonP. Good luck.

Was there a weight on the box?

The old ones are full pressed 16 mm barrels micro knurled with a cross pin ,
NO ADHEASIVEI. Easy to remove. I’ve used many Hw barrels on other guns.


THE NEW STAR nut is just that a special nut that is threaded onto a stepped inleted breech block and the nut creates the seal seat area.. I’ve taken a few apart but had to make a special tool and it’s not a profitable deal

September BONKS video. Reximex Tormenta and .25 AA, filmed with Tactacam 5.0 FTS. I enjoy filming my shots, but it does take some more pre-shot execution to make it happen. 36 shots today, I dumb thumbed 5. Blame it on late season allergies.

I use a complex system of hydraulic cellular membranes controlled by a neuroprocessor implanted behind my eyes. It interfaces with the rifle via a telekinetic connection with the antenna mounted on the front of the barrel. The hydraulics automatically adjust for windage and elevation thanks to a technological breakthrough called the "rear sight". It works in conjuction with the antenna on the front and allows the neurological processor to control the hydraulics and aim accurately.

Its all automatic. All I have to do is pull the trigger.

The very best shooting aid I can recommend is a comfortable pair of hiking boots with plenty of ankle support. A hat, loose fitting pants and a canvas shirt that fits properly across the shoulders.

@Potshot - Holy crap! A HW57 that shoots strait? Amazing!

The days progress cables and painted all good to go now jusy put in posts and set up range....or just leave as in shop target range lol

Got it. Maybe I've been lucky, but after pinching the new O ring into the breech, using something not sharp, like a small allen wrench, the ring usually pops in place with a little fiddling.

I've shot a couple more fairly long strings with this tune. The first tune started at 200 bar. It was 12 shots sighting in my 32X scope for shooting targets and then 24 shots on a 30 yard challenge target. I ended at 100 bar. If I ignore the last 4 shots I think the ES was 22 fps. The final two shots were Xs, however, with a velocity of 756 and 751. I scored the target at 189 with 10Xs. The best I've done with this gun is a 194.

Today I shot 40 shots starting at 220 bar and ending at 110 bar. The first 24 were on a 30 yard challenge target and the final 16 were sighting in the 4-14 scope I put back on the gun and messing around a little. The ES was 26 without the final two shots (765 and 759fps). The Average velocity of the same 38 shots was 785 fps. The first 25 shots (the ones I think were on the reg) averaged 788 fps. 13 of the final 15 averaged 779 fps. Fpe ran from 45 to 48 fpe. Todays target was a 190 with 10Xs.

The ES is a little higher than I would like but it doesn't change by incorporating the final few shots. It might have been made worse by my chronograph shifting a little while I'm shooting. There is enough of a muzzle blast it twists the chronograph sometimes. I changed the way it is mounted before shooting the last 16 shots and the ES dropped to 10. So maybe part of the 20s ES is measurement. I am not seeing point of impact changes.

This .357 Rex pistol was a real hand cannon.
Power ranged from ~100fpe down to about 70fpe over 3 to 4 shots, depending on pellet weight.

The main drawback was the slow single-shot loading. The mechanism itself cycled very smoothly, though, and it was easy to load the large .357 pellets.

The small, unregulated air tube was only good for about 4 shots. But it kept the Rex sort of 'pistol sized' for single hand use.

It was impressively sturdy and very loud due to the short barrel.

Now, if they could just add a pellet magazine and have the cocking handle cycle the action to load a pellet, and then add a regulator, and .. and ...

That eternal hunt for upgrades by some of us is why many manufacturers feel pressured to keep offering upgrades and then rush new products to market every year. Some people, often me, are ready to jump on the newest version of a product in their hobby/passion of interest at the time. Partly just to check out the promised advancements, some want to share their results and impressions, and maybe there's a small bit of bragging rights involved. Airgun tech is finally developing quickly as we get inexpensive 5000 psi portable compressors and electronic fire-by-wire controls. But 100 years from now, I expect that a Rex pistol like this will still be working. Not as sure about the longevity of some of the more complex models coming out now.

It's the distance from your knees to the trigger, divided by half the distance of your nose to the end of the muzzle, minus 1/3rd the length of pull of your stock, unless you're using a scope, then it's 1/4 the length of pull. And then you take that and add the distance to the face of the target from your shoulders, subtracting half the distance between your knees and your toes while sitting at 90 degrees.

Those are the rules agreed upon by OPEC, NAFTA, and UNESCO. But I'm not sure how they do it in the UK.

So then does "Mass of the Azz" become part of the equation as well?

Well, I've sold a handful of these on ebay. I guess most of them worked all right since I didn't get any complaints initially. The most recent guy I sold to has said he was having issues with the teeth shearing off... so here's the first solid aluminum version.

Nice report Chris ... Yea the crew ( Which includes you ) are a pretty well oiled machine and follow along as well self do much of the chores of running and shooting a SVFTC match.

Thank you to all present this match

If you were here in Canukistan, I’d take both of them on without hesitation. I’m a French descendant and if you didn’t know . We are by far the most stubborn group to ever walk this earth. lol . I hope you get them sorted out.

I know of a few issues with them. Barrel port alignment, small hole that cycles the action needs to be lined up. Next is the barrel o ring, this seals the probe when ready to fire. Last are trigger pack screws , if out of adjustment , the sear won’t catch . All three are somewhat simple to check. Break out a magnifying glass and have a Quick Look.

SSG's are very simple to fabricate. Below is a picture of what I use in my Marauders. These are all 'carriers' that I can swap out by removing a rear 5/8-18 plug that I had custom made and had knurled by a cool member here. Each one holds a different tune so I don't have to mess with different preloads. These are crudely made but polished where it matters/where sliding motions occur.

The smoothed threaded end of the bolt sits in a small hex plug that sits within the aforementioned 5/8-18 plug, the small hex plug allows adjustment of the free flight distance and keeps the ssg in line with the hammer at all times, and the front of the bolt sits within the hammer, with enough length on both sides that it won't slip out during hammer travel, and remains smooth in operation.

I don't see why this design cannot be adopted by any gun that currently doesn't have an SSG or adjustable freeflight, one would just need a drill, bits, a tap, a rotary tool / method to round/smooth a few sections, and patience. There are many other ways to skin the cat, not saying mine is best, however I use what I currently do because its the best solution I personally came up with.

Couple of nylon washers/bushings, a bolt, and a nut, cost no more than 2$ at a hardware store per unit. I prefer finer threads which allow more precise adjustments, so I use 1/4-28 bolts, however this specific size isn't necessary, but what is, is not having the bolt be fully threaded, you want one that is shouldered so the spring or front bushing/washer doesn't get caught up during cocking or during your shot cycle.

Depending on the gun, you may need a different size of the below combination, from length to width, but most any gun should be able to accommodate such design.

I have the permission allowed to use a 3rd party app or whatever its called, but when I go to download the app the tablet will not come up as a recognized device..I can usually figure this crap out but Ive run out of patience messing with it, will get a small laptop later and use it. Ive read even if you do get the app to download that Amazon has so many obstructions to prevent it that it can cause device to freeze or quit working completely.

If hand pumps were the only way, I don't think we would have a PCP hobby at all. I kinda choke on paying for something I can easily do myself. The material is free, it does cost something to compress. The inexpensive HPA compressors are what finally got me in to the hobby.

They have nearly the same potential but I cut the power a tad in the 97. They're still not too far apart. The 97 is about 14.2-14.5 fpe IIRC and the 95 around 14.7-14.9 fpe. They both vary a little day to day due to environmental conditions and tin to tin. That's with JSB made 8.44 pellets. They both lose at least a pound of energy with FTTs or more with heavy pellets.

The 97 is easier to shoot accurately because it's a tank. The 95 is just as accurate but needs more concentration for the same results. I still prefer the 95 over the 97. It's plenty accurate horsing around, lighter and much easier to cock and load. The 97 has been up for sale time to time the 95 will never be. Here's the 97.
