You shouldn't need to increase hammer spring. Increasing hammer weight increases the momentum, decreases hammer velocity and increases hammer lock time, however the hammer energy (fpe) would remains relatively unchanged.

I don’t understand this post and the link is bad. Did you mean to post this in the classifieds?

I went ahead and took this challenge today at 50 yards with my modified Avenger 22cal. I had pretty decent wind switching back and forth, and I recorded the wind flag closest to me so you could see what was going on.

Here is the footage:

This session sucked pretty bad. With my wind switching all around, it was really hard to make wind calls. I missed shot #8, and thought I did on #19 as well, so I went back and took another shot at it. After looking at the footage, I realized that I DID take the shot at #19, but ended up putting it through the exact same hole as #16. That was why I couldn't tell.

I could wait for some more consistent wind, which would be a good idea, but otherwise I may move the target a little closer. This was really difficult as I queued it up today.

Let me know your thoughts...

if your in a competition you can't wait on wind . so i would do the same in practice . Also in the vid those little marker flags do a great job in the distance .

thanks

They are having labor day sale with 10 percent extra off any sale price, some decent deals on pellets.. just ordered 5,000 more FX 15.89 gr.

I still think we should start a pellet union. A cooperative.

We could buy in bulk at distributors volume. Negotiate free shipping to 2 regional points. Appoint some poor saps to break it all up and send it to us.

We could have pallets of pellets and fancy PCP rifles stacked like cordwood. All at Crazy Eddie prices!

Using the GX EL3 is sure better than hand pumping.

Getting this old airgun from approximately 1740 mfg sighted in and ready for deer hunting this fall. Since it is a muzzle loader, it is usable for the gun deer season and the muzzle loader season here.

At only 750PSI it's easy and fast to fill with this compressor

DVOR.com has a 6-24-50 helix ffp on sale for $320.00.

Or worse, takes five shots, picks the three best, and calls that a group.

But I like what I’m seeing with the MCAR. I think it’s got potential. Time will tell.

Yeah mcar is looking pretty decent. Love the long barrel and the power that comes with it. Wish it was a bullpup. The 2.5k price (preorder was live for a couple hours then removed) is well outside of what I want to spend for an AEA.

I'm 6'3 with long arms and legs. What you're doing is probably better. Most people prefer to hold the gun closer to the center of gravity. I have hard time repeating that so I use a more forward hold that I can repeat. Its consistent hold placement that's most critical. Consistent pressures at contact points is next important.

I shoot too many rifles to learn any of them good so I use the basic formula I outlined for all of them. I'd get better results from any of them if I only shot that one. There's a lot of truth to the saying, Beware the man with one gun...

Ya I got that notice today also but at over 200 dollars they can keep em

I imagine if you're really a fussy high-precision shooter it might be worthwhile.

But I figure for my purposes, if the pellet squeezes into the barrel (and doesn't fall through), it'll be extruded into essentially the right shape when its fired. So no need for a sizer.

Another happy Omega Supercharger user here. I keep a 74 CF, a 97 CF, a 3L and 2L filled with it. 17hrs on the run clock and no issues so far.

The flexible microbore hose that comes with an Omega tank is the best I've used. Most other brands of hoses have a black plastic outer layer that can split if kinked or become brittle over time. The Omega hose can be tied in knots and the knit nylon outer covering is extremely wear resistant. A fill hose in a PCP application is probably pressurized less than .00001% of the time compared to an SCBA fill tank which is under high pressure almost all of the time. There is no need to ever replace a hose unless it leaks or shows obvious signs of damage.

SCBA tanks have expiration dates because the aluminum inner bladder expands and contracts each time it is refilled. The DOT standard is that 15 years worth of cycles is enough before an SCBA tank cannot be retested and approved. There are a few recent exceptions where certain SCBA tanks may be renewed up to a 30 year life span. Steel diver tanks don't have expiration dates as long as they pass a hydro test.

how heavy is this? and sound level?

I ended up getting one in .25 cal. It's load, even with a DonnyFL moderator. Weighs around 2 lbs without a optic, if I'm not mistaken.

To add to bustachip's comment, high-moly lube is what has been used for synth seal springers the longest and most commonly, those being much more available / affordable than Krytox / Ultimox. Moly lubes are potentially dieseling, but that can be avoided and excellent results gotten. The critical thing is to clean the compression chamber and the piston of any old lubrication, using brake cleaner, elbow grease etc., deburr the receiver cutouts so that the piston seal stays intact with re-entry, and use only a very small amount of the moly paste on the sides of the piston seal and the piston bearing surfaces front and back only. Then the lubrication stays out of the compression chamber through the shot cycles, and the gun works as intended.

Leather piston seals have completely different rules, in that it is perfectly OK to drip oil (neatsfoot is best) directly onto and into the seal through the transfer port, letting the oil soak in and literally make a sloshing sound in the chamber with piston movement. Doing this on a synth seal gun would result in massive dieseling and likely detonation (which breaks guns), but with a leather seal it's different, and in a way, much simpler and easier.

If you don't go with the Arsenal mold, I have NOE's 39 grain slug mold up for sale in the classifieds. NOE's other molds cast accurate slugs.
Make an offer if interested.

Personally, for filling tanks I would want a compressor with a duty cycle that can do it without cool down breaks, at least on the partial refills we do on a regular basis (maybe one break on an initial fill would not be a bad thing). After all, a shorter duty cycle than we would ideally need is a clear sign that the compressor has inadequate cooling for the work it is doing - that is just not a recipe for a long trouble free service life.

In the end, it gets down to the kind of person you are - are you fine with something that might only last a few years, and just replacing it then or are you somebody that can't stand that thought as a "going in plan" and wants things that last?

If you want something that lasts, I'll second @Franklink 's recommendation for a booster - those can be set up to just run non-stop (by how you supply air to it) and last forever (with the same risk of individual part issues/ service as every other mechanical thing) . . . .

Good shooting. Is that a new R9 or is it the one you been shooting a long time

Click to expand...

Maybe 4 years old now but there's stuff from when new around posted

Epic just started selling the One model ( bulpup )
Mora also selling, though you will probably have to search to find one, or wait until your local seller get inventory.
I recall seeing them at Huma, but all are out of stock now, probably got snagged up real fast.
My local guy have the P3 but no hint of him getting the Mora

No news on .30 from Epic, and from RTI no word about a 357 / 9 mm

Euro boys dont seen too big on the really big calibers, seem like for us .30 is plenty.

Well, I have an R1, R10, R7, R8, HW77, AA Pro Sport. RX2, Theoben Eliminator, Theoben Scirocco, Theoben Crusader, and……..so no too many yet
