This was take 2 as my first video was a small pumkin and not very festive. I really put my time into this and it may not seem it in the final video but for those of you that know the huben K1 I had to reload after each 19 shot round. I have 2 separate vidoes so check them both out. One is the DNT zulus and I ran that on the side next to my DNT ThermNight TNC225R. The zulus was not mount led on the K1 so take note the point of aim and point of impact will not match with the zulus. Zulus is now on sale so head over and use brawler10 to get it at the new low price. Thanks for watching and hope to see some other pumpkin carvings.

DNT Optics is actually having a pumking carving contest if you own any of the DNT Optics scopes or the previous zulus scopes check out the
Rules and get to the Facebook groups to post your entry.

so i assume you know the shroud is really a hand protector but it has many parts
now if you just made the profile of the shroud and held it with and grub screw or two that would work
but it has a set screw for the position it has a plunger and spring and a threaded cap
now i know that 3D printing doesn't thread well but that is what i assume so two areas have threads
of course there were two threaded holes for the Barrel weight
is there a market for the replacement YES, at the last when you could get them, they only sold them complete plugger spring the screw and they were about 47 buck plus shipping and that was 10-12 years ago and sooner than later every model 6M and model 10 are going to need them or something that will work
now if Diana had finished the barrels, you could run them without it but the barrels are crude at best
you could take some 14mm ID carbon fiber tube and make a cover cut an opening for the front sight and wear a deer skin glove on your cocking hand and move on
most people that don't own the pistols would not know how sharp the front sight is but they can do damage to your paw
a CNC machine could make them out of aluminum and that would be the way to go and as i said i have seen picture of just that but when they were made and how many is unknow it could have been a one off made by a very handy person

Thanks, it's the latest version of Arken optics 7-35x56 the glass is perfect, beautiful sharp image, the video is not close to reality at all.

Attended the show yesterday on a lovely spring day and had a good time. Met some very nice folks and saw lots of very cool guns, parts, and pellets. Spent a few bucks of course......Thank you to all of those that put this together, I'm already looking forward to next year.

Yes,I have one with a 6pound barrel sleeve for my crown. The stx in 22 caliber will work,but oversized dual transfer port will interfere with your transfer port adjustment. What it's on when you put it in is where it'll stay. You'll not be able to turn it. That's no problem,with dual port you'll want it on high anyway.i have what your wanting and will sale it. The stx 22 caliber 700mm .

Click to expand...

I have 600mm also. The big tube in the picture is a friction fit steel tube bored to 13.95mm to tension the 700mm and add weight for bench rest shooting. The system is very accurate with aea 25.4 grain pellets and with hybrid slugs. I'm taking dime size 5 shoot groups with out wind.

Your valve seal is deformed. If it's new, get it repaired under warranty. If you don't care about the warranty, then repair/replace the parts yourself.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Claymore, but those are often not popular with the HOA

Hey no worries! The guy came off a little rude which was understandable knowing what we know now.

is there any better electric bb gun?

So far as I know it's one of only two electric BB guns, the other being the Umarex AER16.

Where are you guys seeing a missing breech seal?

it’s clearly in the photo looking through the barrel at the rifling. Did I miss something?

i just looked back at the original and yes i mistook the seal as an slightly out of focus polish of the barrel end .

Geez some good deals on cheap .177s might need to try the Normas

Click to expand...

They raised the price on the Norma multipacks from $11.99 to $19.99, so they’re not as big a bargain as they were, but around a penny per shot’s still not bad.

^ That’s the same picatinny sling mount that I use. They are inexpensive from fleabay or Amazon.

Just received a beautiful Akela .177 from airgun revisions. The barrel shroud is a little loose and even my smallest Allen wrenches won't fit. Would someone be able to tell me what size Allen key fits the grub screws on the barrel shroud?

Click to expand...

They should be 1.5mm or 2mm I can't remember which exactly.

To the OP, what discussion do you want? You made a statement and that's fine. Protect yourself as you wish. That's not what this forum pursues.

'springers' excluded, more often than not with me its a fatigue thing .. i will NOT shoot the same first shot as i do after sighting into targets for an hour or two .. solution, have a target set up in the general area pests will be and randomly pop it .. sight it in that way, not with 15 clips and half a bottle of air ..

Nice shooting!
My best offhand shots are made with irons (no magnification), but if I am offhanding with a scoped gun, I go as low as I can on magnification and still see the reticle clearly on the target. High magnification tends to make me overcompensate because my brain is telling me I need to move my POA more than I actually need to in order to stay on target.

Pyramyd marked down the price of wood stocked M1 Carbines $120 and I couldn’t resist and ordered one a week ago.

I just got a chance to shoot it today and am pretty impressed overall, but there’s one thing about it that just niggles me and that’s the rear sight. It looks correct, but it doesn’t adjust for elevation. I can’t see how they could have gotten such an easy feature wrong. Crosman loves cutting costs anywhere they can, but on their M1 they managed to get it right.

I know there’s a ton of M1 carbine parts out there and I’m wondering if there’s a replacement that fits. On a gun like this I just like to have it as close to the real thing as possible.

Last week I scored a HW45 Silver Star .177. Couldn’t say no. Today I drive to get yesterday’s mail and this poor baby got cold in the mail box all night. Our nights are slipping into the high 30’s, brrrr. View attachment 503705View attachment 503702Love these guns. This one gave me the third calibre. View attachment 503706These guns are a treat to shoot. Well made. Easy to jack and accurate. Crow

You have the best collection of HW's that I've seen. Much $$$$ hanging on Crows racks.

And here was 10 shots.

I had the same issue and fixed it by adjusting the zoom level on the GoPro so it crops out the dark edges from the scope. Using a tighter lens setup also helped. If you’re considering camera upgrades or alternatives for better edge clarity, I found this article useful: https://medium.com/first-charge/the-best-action-cameras-in-2025-039ba99fbc73. Some models listed have better lens compatibility for this kind of setup.

Very cool footage! What kind of moderator do you have and how do you like it? I'm considering a .30 cal Impact, but would need to silence it really well

Click to expand...

So the impact has a real nice barrel shroud on it. So I find with that, the Ronin and the “extension” quiets my M3 to the point my wife can’t hear it sleeping a few rooms down the hall in the bedroom. I have a gazillion silencers, a “Sarissa” custom made job from silent thunder ordinance. I’ve got the emporer v3, of course the Ronin, The stock one, the Yokozuna as well (which I don’t love). The ronin + extension is better than all of them. Hope this helps, it is considerably quieter than my .25 cal DRS. With air guns, you really need extra air volume to keep them quiet I find. A good moderator to hold back the gases is good too, but you need a place for those to go. The shroud in the impact with the extension from Donny should really do the job !

Really nice conditions, cool and kinda calm except for the switches. Pellet: Didn't seem to bother Joe too much but for the rest of us it was weird. Keith earned his 2nd 750 in Pro and bumped a few down in that class.

with two clean misses, ended up with two hits. I need to learn to be more patient.

Thought the morning was going to be a complete bust, then decided to move to the other end of the WMA.

I sat down and just decided to chill, and after a little over half an hour, had one "appear" on the ground at maybe 12 or 10 yards. I finally was patient, and the young male eventually hopped up on a sapling giving me a shot, so I took it - so at least I'm not going home empty handed!

It was getting close to 11, so I collected my kill and began a slow stalk back to the truck. Seems to be a lot of blackbirds in this part of the woods, and even with them squakin' and making racket I was pretty sure I could here an occasional "mew" not the normal barking, but pretty sure the sound was coming from a squirrel, so I did my best to move as quietly as possible near the source and just listened - well the blackbirds just all took off at once, and I took this opportunity to do the quarter trick - after just a few rubs, the "mew" sound subsided and I caught movement to my left and there was bogie #2 checking me out - a clear shot from no more than 20 yards connected with a solid thump - #2 in the bag

Thanks for putting up with this long winded post for just two squirrels, I do appreciate it!
