Thanx Edward!

gread idea Vana. Like that better than inserts

Element could not (or chose not to) fix the scope and send a new one to the dealer. It took them a few months too.

The Marauder gen1 and gen2 have a 1/2 -20 spring adjuster with a 3/8-24 degassing thread.

The Marauder pistol has a 3/8-24 spring adjuster with a 5/16-24 degassing thread.

I tried that, no luck! I literally tore my workshop apart looking for that screw, and never found it. I did e-mail BKL asking for the correct size screw so I could get a replacement. I just heard back, they are sending me a couple for free! Great customer service! I also didn't realize Auto-Numatic Corp., the parent company of BKL is also the parent company for Air Force Airguns, Rapid Air and Theoben! Learned something new today!

Got this second hand. Length of pull is over 18 inches!
Very uncomfortable. This can't be right.
I have a few questions if anyone can help.
Can the rear tank be removed without de-gassing the gun or no?
It can be shot with just the front tank correct?
Can I screw on a mil-spec buffer tube and adjustable stock from an AR platform?
Probably need an adapter of some sort.
I realize the gun is going to get front heavy.
Who makes a stock for this?
Option ideas welcome
Thanks

I vote
tactical.
Springer or PCP.
Whoever don't like it sorry.
I am a tacticool dude.

For anyone that has received one (.25CAL 600 / 700mm) this year what liner is included? Is it the new FX STX Slug Liner (1:16) or the older Heavy Duty Liner (1:18)

I'm assuming tho older / original rifles came with the Heavy Duty Liner?

Thanks
MIke

1:18, if you want to really make sure you'll have to take the liner out and inspect. You may luck out with a 1:16

I want to know which way to turn the regulator screw to lower the pressure? Thanks in advance! Charles

I have two Daisy 747s that I used to shoot 10 meter. I would like to sell both as I don't use them anymore. Both are very accurate. I think I have to wait till I can think up 10 posts or something like that before I can sell on this site. Any clue on what they would be worth as a fair asking price? I can't remember what I paid for them. I am hooked on PCP rifles now and would like to put the $s into another rifle. Here is a couple pics.

Over 50 yards with a red dot and a pistol?! I don’t care where your from or what your firing that’s some great shooting!

Hi everyone! New member here checking in. I've been lurking here for a while as I recently purchased a new HW97k. I'd like to hear some recommendations on scopes from you guys. I'm just planning to target shoot and some pest control. I'd like the scope to be SFP with a IR, pretty good clarity, and definitely durable to handle the recoil. This will probably get shot a lot to take care of some rats in the area.

don't know where you are so really can't recommend any particular scope suitable for the area your in , sorry

Caveat: The Vulcan 3 - 500 I had tested above, has a choked CZ barrel as all 500mm CZ barrels that AGT used in .177, .22 & .25 previous had. Now, however, all AGT barrels of any length are not choked in new current offerings!!

Hmmm…my .30 that is newer shoots pellets well. Hope the .25 does. Anyone have a newer one ?

Pellets impacting steel will add to the Lead in your basement. Appreciate the poster with the water idea to recycle the pellets from the trap, good thinkin!
Did not really consider the Lead, the soft and quiet pellet traps are helpful in this respect. PB ranges often have a water curtain setup where the bullets impact to hold down the airborne Lead.

WOW!

I'm guessing that the surgeon will remove that life-long pellet from its place of residence?
At least you're finally able to have the needed (kneeded?) surgery.
Hoping that your recovery is mild and swift.

Thanks! But I only make for myself I'm afraid too much faf, i do make silenced shrouds and butt pads, but that's about it.

I shoot the .25 35 gr out of a 24 twist around 975 with good results. By good, I mean 1/2” to 3/4“ at 50 yds. I’m slowly switching to the Nielsen 34.9 mainly for cost, but haven’t given up anything in the accuracy department yet.

Hmm…I suspect there is something else going on if you aren’t having luck with the 44.75 out of an fx liner. They should be dead nuts accurate.

There's a pa blog on measuring up a main spring as well .

Maybe like this blog or maybe another or 2 he's done ..

Hey its great to hear about a new Airgun store in Missouri. I have relatives there, and it would be nice to drop in once you get a store up and going.
Wish you the best.

The first thing anyone should do when a AG loose power suddenly is to put a hand around the magazine and then fire a shot, a dead breech O-ring should mean you feel a puf of air there.

Air leaking thru barrel is normal for FX as explained.
Also the recommended way to take the pressure off, remove air tank, and fire a few no load shots and the remaining air in rifle should leak out thru barrel / fire valve.

Yea. I knew something was up when velocities were low and I could feel “poof” of air shooting prone.

It sounds counterintuitive, but the low volume pump actually removes more heat from the water than a pump of greater volume. The measly pump is just what the system needs.

I used to use H&N FTTs in my P35-25 because they were the most accurate pellet at the original plenum size. They weigh 20 grains. My P35-22 likes H&N Baracuda Match which weigh 21 grains. The 22 only pushes them about 820 fps and I adjusted the regulator of the 25 to push the 20 grain a little faster and they were both at about 32 fpe. I killed 18 squirrels with my 35-25 at that tune. I've taken 10 so far with the P35-22 (I've had it almost a year less time). They are both very effective. In both squirrels and in tests in wet paper the 22 penetrated a bit further but the 25 sent all the way through 15 of the 18 squirrels I took with it. I have not lost a squirrel with either gun. Even with shots not ideally placed. I remember one squirrel with the 25 that was hit about at the joint of the jaw. Missed the brain entirely. Dropped immediately anyway. The skull was crushed. I've since installed a larger plenum on the 25 and retuned it to almost 50 fpe with JSB MKII 34 grain. I haven't shot a squirrel with it but I am sure it is overkill at this power level.

My Prod and my P35-177 are also at about the same fpe, 18-19 fpe for both. The Prod pellets are H&N FTT copper plated at 14.66 grain and the P35 is shooting H&N Baracuda Match 10.6 grain at nearly 900 fps. Squirrels drop a step or two slower with these guns but they perform about the same. But the Prod velocity is in the low 700s so the trajectory is not nearly as flat. But the 177 pellets have a lower bc so they are more sensitive to wind. I think they are both better at shorter range both from a power and other factors. 30 to 35 yards is about as far as I want to use them.

I think 20 fpe is awfully low for a 25. For very short range or very well known distance I guess it could work. The FTT is about the lightest 25 caliber pellet and could only go about 675 fps. If your gun was accurate with them I guess it could work but if it likes heavier pellets you'd have to go slower. I would want to keep the fpe up to 25-30 fpe minimum.

The one you show is a male foster with male threads. You need to find a male foster with female threads to attach to the male thread on end of fill hose. Here's an example (or, did you mean at the TANK, not the end of fill hose? If so, you've got the right idea)

Air Venturi Male Quick-Disconnect, 1/8 BSPP Female Threads, Steel, Rated to 5000 PSI, Incl. Delrin Seal https://a.co/d/c7mEmnw

For that to work, you would need a hose with 2 females(to use on a gun). Then you risk mixing up fill port with air outlet port.

I'll be there... Was wondering if I would due to Helene. My little town got thrashed pretty badly. I just got power back a couple weeks ago and internet back this past Sunday. But... I'm loaded up and will be headed out that way bright and early. I have two tables reserved. Will have various parts, some pistolas, some other unique stuff and some handmade wood crafts and knives...made by me.
