I’ve ordered huggetts from both krale and airgun heaven. No issues shipping to the US. I would check some of the british sites for parts first. Bagnall and kirkwood, chambers, and airgun spares. They show what parts are available/in stock. Utah orders from fx directly I guess, so they can get more parts, but it took at least 4 weeks to arrive to them. I’ve ordered parts a few times from Utah, and communication was hit or miss.

I'm learning how to tune my new Crown, which I have .177, 22 and 25 barrels for. I've been getting some pretty good results. Nothing earth shaking but pretty decent and accuracy is really good.

I have a question. When tuning and getting pretty good results, I was ok with it. Then while toying with AA 10.3gr pellets, and getting %ES of 1.6 to 2.0 %. Then I starting toying with the hammer adjuster and at #20 with a reg pressure of 112 bar and the xfer set at 117/22, HOLY COW, it shot 22 shots in one hole, with a %ES of 0.69%. I have a Brocock Sniper HR, a Cricket Carbine, a Katran and a BSA R10 and all with keep ES below 10 fps and %ES at 1.0 or less, but nothing this close to perfection.

Anyone else notice that a tiny adjustment results in an amazing difference in stats and accuracy??

Also, the new Garmin chronograph is the bomb for tuning. If you need a new chrono, it's the one to buy for sure.

Sounds like you hit on a really good tune. What velocity were you getting and at what range was the target? The best source for how to tune a Crown when you are trying new pellet weights or calibers is a video by Sub12Airgunners (I will attach below). While Geoff is tuning a Sub12 ft-lb (legal UK limit), the explanation he provides and the process he uses apply well to any air rifle. This is my favorite air gun YouTube channel.

Also you might want to drop down to the Target Shooting Challenge forum here on AGN. The 30yd Challange is now in its 3rd or 4th year with thousands of shooter inputs. EPG does a great job of moderating the forum and he posts monthly leaderboards for .177 and .22 at 30 and 40 yds.

Cheers,
Greg

No worries. You don't need the filter in the test unless you think it's leaking. The idea is to have a baseline that is quick and repeatable so you can check performance sporadically or if you think there is an issue. My manual states 30seconds to 4500 psi (on factory length hose). It was faster when I received it but now with time it's at the 30seconds. If you are filling an air tank and 15 minutes in you think it's not going fast enough the 30second test will at least confirm sealing and function to the end of the factory hose. The filter probably takes 3 or 4 minutes to fill so if you want to establish a base line with the filter, go for it. I have a filter I use if filling tanks and I have it recorded somewhere (or maybe will record it on the next fill).

Well you got me to thinking just what is my average re-fill time for my 186cc AA .22, from about 160 to 250 bar. 56 seconds.
After installation of the Omega Clean Air filter my fill time averaged 2.56 minutes. yes takes a little longer but I think it worth it.

err just remembered I didnt take pics....

did put in a small nylon top hat. added ~3mm of net preload.... added 9 ish fps to the average, but still legal, Need to shoot it in some more

I would call Utah Air and give them the part # 5113 and they'll fix you right up. I just ordered a kit for my Crown from them with some extras and they have it all.

I contacted them and still awaiting a response. Thanks

It seems u dont have a good understanding for the use of the red dot in conjiction with a scope.

Click to expand...

I don't doubt that haha. If I ever decide to use the reflex because I wanna scope for longer range, we'll see. But, the theory of sighting the reflex sights and the scopes are the same right? They need to be sighted while leveled and straight above the barrel. That's why people tilt their rifles with offset reflex. You can't sight an offset when the reflex isn't level.

I could not get the power necessary for slugs with the 550mm standard version, the 700mm barrel standard should without issue.

Right track, wrong train. Consider drying the air entering the compressor pump. I feed mine with dry compressed air at < 10 PSI. DO NOT pressurize the inlet air you would think that would be helpful, the opposite is true. The motor will not start with pressure on the piston either. I'm not certain if filtering the input through desiccant is effective. My shop air is dry to a minus 150 F dewpoint and filtered to 10 micron. Not everyone has a dental compressed air system to do that. Compressing the air literally squeezes the water out of it. I live in a very wet place. I think drying the input air has merit, but really can't remove much water without compression, unlikely the juice is worth the squeeze attempting to dry the input air supply to the pump. A big molecular sieve type HPA filter is likely the best and most practical method to protect your guns from wet air. If you live in a place where air conditioning is a requirement to live running your pump in an air conditioned space is very helpful to minimize water.

Hi @Firewalker,
Just a quick note to thank you. I received the M60b .30 and went to the range on Saturday. New gun, new scope at 50 yards all on the paper, I am impressed. The M60b is a step up from my Avenger .25 in quality. Thank you for your encouragement.

p.s. I was surprised at the attention the M60b received at the range, lots of positive feedback.

I’m not that good at doing videos but I really do enjoy shooting slugs with my BRK Ghost!

Click to expand...

Are those the .250 or .251 slugs?

When ordering a custom stock, and I have from both CS Stocks (Great Britain) and SC Stocks (Steve Corcoran) there still may be some final adjustments made to fit your action. My SC stock fit my R7 but not my HW30. Even Weihrauch doesn’t get exact tolerances. Also the fit needs to be not so tight as to blow the stock out from the movement of the action but not to loose that the action isn’t properly held.

Maybe your .177s have a smoother shot cycle than the 19ftlb HW95? Maybe you just need to get used to that?
Just thinking out loud

I had another R9 (same gun) that was nothing like this one along with HW97 and TX200. This one shoots 15 fpe.

Centercut said:

Jeff, at EBR you shot .22 RD Monster Deep at 50Y and 75Y, but at 100Y you shot .30 caliber due to flyer and spiraling concerns, correct? AEA 50.5 grain at ??? fps...

Steve, those were exceptional cards, but I remember you started to have lots of flyers/spiraling, and in fact did not shoot that gun at RMAC that year and bought a .22 Daystate Red Wolf HP to shoot instead....

Click to expand...

Mostly correct. The HPX shot crazy good for a while after I first got it especially with the couple tins Mike N gave me initially. The next batch I bought from AOA was when things went wonky. Also tried some FX rebranded. Those might have both been when JSB changed their molds, I'd say probably so. I've kind of lost memory of the time frames of RMAC and EBR and what happened. I do know that at RMAC was when I had the huge flyers.

I had some bedding problems with screw spacing holes on the custom wood stock of the HPX. Bobby fixed that and re-bedded it last year. This seemed to help. But this spring I found what was a ever worsening problem for who knows how long. LSS, the receiver screws came loose from the lower part of the action enough to become obvious when I took the gun out of the safe one day. Once tightened the gun shoots slugs fantastic again. What's funny is when I was shooting the N50 @100Y with slugs last February it'd still do 1"-2.5" at 100Y with the ever so slightly loose reciever??!!

Once those screws were tightened again I went out to my friends place and hit a 1" spinner 9 times in a row at 100Y. That was with the swaged 42gr custom slugs and the barrel made to shoot those. Man that put a smile on my face.

A couple weeks ago I got 46/48 at UFT with the 17.7 twist barrel Bobby fit to the HPX. I had turned it down from 67 fpe to 49 fpe and used the 32.3gr Altaros slugs for Ben's upcoming new match format. Very happy with it currently.

Well there you go.

The best tool for maintaining a break barrel is a friend who is good at working on a break barrel.

Airgunwerks does not repair these rifles. Does anyone know who can repair them?

Probably valve and transfer port too.

It also has a regulator that you would have to deal with. Probably best to just purchase from Airgun Revisions if you want the higher power Challenger.

I used those with the .457 Texan last season and full pass thru shots as well they’re accurate gun season opens this weekend in Florida so hope to have same results

Definitely !

Thanks you've been a great help

SilentSquirrel said:

That's from a DUK IL RS 22
Made by The Duk Il Arms Company, Korea
RS= Rifle Shotgun
The gun was designed to fire shot and pellets, thus the long magazine
Pellets were not very accurate

I have one I am intending to restore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,someday

Amazing Thanks so much There was no way of solving it ! Thanks for answering the mystery

It's a copper M4 with odd lighting. Lots of fun shooting in my basement, for sure!

To add a little insight on weighing the pellets. They had a fish aquarium with the scale inside so wind, etc would not effect it. They had chrono‘s set up on Wednesday before the match and set up in the sight in area each morning.
I did learn something about my rifle. I put a rifle together for this event. I had never shot it in cooler weather. I had the velocity set up at 785fps with a JSB 8.44 in warm weather. I found the rifle I set up is temp sensitive (PCP). In the morning while in AZ my rifle shot as low as 723fps. The first day of the match it was warm and at the chrono test it shot 785. Day 2&3 at the chrono station it shot 760. I learned from this (other than I need to fix the rifle issue) to test your velocity at different temps. I knew I had an issue right before leaving for AZ as it finally cooled off and my rifle was shooting way low. I redid all my sight settings not realizing it was a temp issue. I thought I knocked the rifle around or something. As a result I shot great in the morning while it was still cold but things fell apart as it heated up and I was guessing on how many clicks of the turret to use.

Great, now I want to buy another K1 in .22, and I’m hungry for squirrel wings hahahhaa

Great shooting, those nut thugs are shifty!

Ask your buddy to remove the vale and measure the diameter. (Most likely to require M18 or 7/8, is my guess)

Cool Video. Not Bad For A Budget Break Barrel.
Color me impressed.
I received this same one today from Amazon.
