Just curious if anyone else has this weird anomaly. Everything works great except in profile 3 ( I only have 3 saved total) of ballistics. It will not save my zero range. Every time I shut it off when I turn it back on it resets to 20 yards. A bit frustrating. Everything else saves just fine even within profile 3. The stupid zero range won’t. I think I’m just going to wave the white flag and zero that one at 20. I’ve also thought maybe I would just duplicate everything on number four profile and see if it saves correctly there. Just really weird.

I have that same one. I used it once. I just don’t need it.

I know this gun was a total flop for Crosman, and was only made for about 2 years. Hand pumping it would of been no fun, and at the time there were no inexpensive compressors to fill it...tanks would of been about mandatory. Then the high cost of the gun itself, I can't imagine there are a lot of these out there.

Does anyone know approximately how many were ever made.

I've been after one for awhile and finally have one on the way. If it doesn't work, it's a wall decoration from my understanding

I looked at the shot string and I don't see a declining curve. Shot 14 is 920 just like shot 2. I was interested because my Caiman X had a declining shot string because the regulator was not venting. But I see no signs of that here. A 22 spread on 15 shots is not great but it may get better, as has been mentioned, and in my experience it varies by projectile and exact hammer spring setting. I was retuning the Caiman for pellets last week and a hammer spring setting that gives me about 875 fps gives an extreme spread over 30 fps but a setting of about 900 gives an extreme spread of less than 20 fps. The 875 setting is noticably more accurate (and gave me a 197 30 yard challenge score) so that is where the gun is at. I'd still like to see a lower ES but I'll take accuracy over low ES anytime.

What do you think of the trigger pull? I have seen a comment that at least early guns had an issue but also comments that there is a "fix" for later guns. I like to be able to set the pull to half a pound or less for target work. Will an EQ do that?

Hmm. I usually shoot the double shot into the dirt. Then make sure the barrel is clear before trying again.

Give AOA a call all my Brococks use the standard 1/2” unf?

Click to expand...

mine as well

Factory tune.
Inconsistent with NSA .217 24.8gr slugs and
Brimstone 28.24gr slugs at 70 yards.
Got better consistency with JSB 18.13 pellets. (Heaviest pellets I have).

Going to get some heavier pellets(any recommendations for this gun?).

Going to tune it down to 1750 psi on reg.
and play with the hammer spring.

Any revelations on the MAX 1 .22 would be
appreciated!

I use the one inch brush from this kit or similar from Ace. I cut the handle end off to shorten it and then bend it over to make a hook or loop so that I can grab it and pull it out for maintenance.

I ended up removing my depinger after I installed the huma regulator. I read it wouldn’t make much difference at that point, what’s your experience?

What is the purpose of this spring that got pushed out??
Anyone knows???

The spring resets the striker after you fire.

the rear sight when last sold were 19.95 so you are ahead of the game
i would have to see a parts diagram to understand the trigger group or even see it
but they were never great in the first place, they sold for under 20 bucks years ago, now people think they are worth a 100 bucks

It also should be noted that once you are on the e-mail list with the match director (Dave), you don't have to be a member of TRRC to come out and shoot. An access code will be sent out for the main gate for the event to get you into the range.

I believe AOA tests all their guns before shipping or at least sends a piece of paper showing a group and muzzle velocity with their guns. FX tests their barrels at the factory and everyone I've owned shot lights out straight out of the box.

Hello Field Target gunners!

Clark Rifles first field target match of the year will be held on Saturday June 7th. Sight-in on Range two will start at 0900 and the match will begin at 10:00. This will be our standard 48 shot match will one standing position. We will be setting up on Friday and would appreciate a call if you would like to help. Feel free to bring a friend if you have a rifle you would be willing to share. Please RSVP and bring $10.

We look forward to seeing you.
Brian & Beverly

please message me if you want to attend so I can get you in the gate.

Felt pellets are meant to never be shot as singles, without a lead pellet in the same load (as advised by VFG), or with multiple felt pellets at once (the number depending on gun power).

There are prominent springer guys who are always ready to label felt pellets as "worse than useless", but the felts have never failed to pick up substantial filth out of my springer bores. I especially like them in my antique fixed barrel guns that are quite difficult to clean otherwise, with no direct access to the chamber.

Nice gun. Would like to try a DRS myself.

I have been using a Vevor water cooler (fan and radiator) for a couple months. Had to buy adapters to reduce the tube to fit my compressor. But my compressor runs about 8c cooler topping off 9L tank and when it hits about 38c the temp rise slows way down. Had to put clamps on all the compressor fittings because the pressure was a lot higher.

You can even get one with a compressor and chill the water.

Some 78s

The Buffington rear sight developed for the Springfield Trapdoor rifle has compensation for drift built in. They were designed for the "volley fire" concepts advanced in the 1870s and 1880s. IIRC, they were std. ~1884. I don't remember if they were the earliest adopted with drift comp.

There is no TP adjustor on the Ghost, its a HS wheel with 20 settings and externally adjustable regulator… But agree its an awesome platform, was thinking of trading mine in, but came to my senses. What’s left of them anyway… Am going to keep it, it simply performs awesomely for what I do with it…

That said my Atomics check all the boxes for what I do with PCPs. The big plus is that I can hand pump them and not overly worry about a HPA source…

Thank you for the clarification Luis!

I like the looks of the Vulcan 3. I just checked the price of the .30 with 700mm barrel. It's less than I paid for my Maverick .30 sniper. I'm surprised. I wish I could afford to go shopping.

Hey, I think I see a Nickel-alloy belleville peeking out from under that Pod-loc. Nice.

stovepipe

It fixed itself. Cleaned the floor, opened the case (an adventure-cheap soft Chinese screws way over-torqued), cleaned the inside of the case. Could not see any loose hoses or wet at any connection. Figured what the heck, turn it on. Ran fine and shut off as usual. Did that 5 or 6 times. No leaks. Only thing I can think of-I may have slightly overfilled it (I did top off the water before I last used it) and it must have overflowed. I may have to add a bit of antifreeze next time I need to top off. The yellow looks like good old car antifreeze.

I had the PF100 which I regret selling big time. Ha all I needed was a video tripod to handle the weight of this beast but I didn't understand that at the time.

The 65's are very good scopes considering the price.

I just need to find an hm1000 and see how those shoot.

The USFT is a cool rifle for sure, but the loading is a little to weird for me. Rifle shoots great, and hopefully I will see how well in July at a match.

Having owned 3 different usft and five different HM/TM1000’s and three different thomas rifles, the reality of my choice has come down to developing a well rehearsed routine. This also requires a degree of commitment to the platform or lots of practice-same thing.
The usft like the thomas are more fiddly for me loading while in the sticks; but so is my TM1000. It’s hard to beat the simplicity of a flip out single shot loader, especially when fiddling with.177 pellets and you are on the clock, but these are not options with the TM or USFT or Thomas… so it’s a trade off… accuracy or simplicity in handling And loading. Then there is the weight to balance issues - utopia in an Airgun? Finding what works for you is part of the game. Nothing to date is more accurate than my Thomas, but, nothing is easier to load and handle than my Redwolf with a SSL.

I can relay what I've found to work, and the common reg pressure for guns that my group of buddies have stumbled upon.

Firstly . The guns I've worked with are all 22 and 25. No matter the model of fx they all start to perform better at 150 bar for slugs 380mm 500mm, 700mm, or either caliber. Also we all use one of the chinese digital guages for the final reg pressure, not a sekmet and none of us have had issues.

My 700 was a harmonic tuning monster vs the 380s and 500s, and the combo of reg pressure and muzzle device weight closed my groups. I recommend taking the velocities and pressures people recommend, or specific power figures under advisement but don't marry yourself to them. Each gun is like a musical instrument and it will tell you where it's happiest. Leaving some fpe and sometimes 100 or more fps is sometimes the consequence for precision. Its really tough to back away from on-paper spec thoughts , but I've had to learn to ignore what I want mathematically and see what the gun is capable of delivering in it's current tune, precisely, and use that to my advantage.

After 50 fpe you an kinda handle almost anything, and your being 30 cal means you have that covered nicely. A 30 fpe well placed shot anchors turkeys and skunk-coyote fwiw.

Hi everyone,
I’ve just ordered a 0.217 and 0.218 die set from GMI for my Presslug. I’d love to hear your thoughts on their quality and your overall experience using these dies. Any feedback or tips would be appreciated!
