Let me check. I might have one. I definitely have the bands both for and without the shroud.

Any luck finding a shroud? Thank you

The $30 amazon reads within a few fps of my FX pocket chrono.

Right there with ya pal. My "discount" chrony has always been within 2-3fps & cheapo rangefinder within a couple yards of units costing hundreds more. It suits my purposes very well. When tuning "blindly" a cheap chrony makes more sense to me than guesswork.

Hey Hopsing, missed you in BattleMountian

Oregon Airgun $599 and they throw in a bubble level.

really looks great.

with respect to the recoil pad, sometimes the mounting plate can be machined to allow for a variety of axis changes....just a thought.

thinking about other accessories....such as a more capacious plenum...but would this chassis allow for this?

just thinking out loud, amazed and what you can do

I go with clean and dry. As far as making it lighter, I installed two lighter springs and a trigger with a roller bearing.
Pretty good, but not like my AA or Mrod.

I live about 25 min from the Crosman plant & I can't buy a gun direct from them! That's all I'll say about our lawmakers.

DAR Gen 3 is a sister design of the JTS Airacuda MAX and both come from same factory. 45Bravo has a series of Airacuda break-down and repair videos on YouTube, I'd suggest checking them out. WM

Will try all of this

And they look like jewels!

Tom that was a horribly humerus reply.

Looking forward to shooting with the OKC crew Saturday!! See you at 9:00 !

Thank you all for your considered replies. In an abundance of caution, I will incrementally back-off the external reg to perhaps relieve stress on the HUMA reg and see if (or when) HUMA reg performance suffers. If I discover anything noteworthy, I'll report back.

I would take the action out of the stock. Should make pin pointing the leak easier.

I have spoken to Dave via text many times. I’m suspecting issues with my mags. Now I purchased this platform in close to initial release. So I’m expecting stuff, and had it with initial regs. Working on valve performance, etc. I know the mags are misaligned a tiny bit, but that’s all it takes. I’m more curious if others have had this experience? Doubt it though. If I don’t get answers here, I’ll reach out to Dave. Mags are epics own.

As some of my friends and neighbors would say
"El gusto es mio, senor"

Anyone here hunt coyotes with 22 shorts. Just curious

Hey that’s nice man thanks!

Should be able to try fix without opening case. Loosen the nut, rotate the breaker 90 degrees by grabbing the flats and retighten nut.

I did that and used this replacement part (had to open case and ream out hole a bit to fit):

At some point they switched from 13 amp to 20 amp breakers.

I had a problem back in 2021 sent a few emails and never heard back from anyone. After reading this thread I though I would try again and Nicole responded within an hour and fixed me right up.

That's been my issue is that the math is just slightly off compared to strelok. If we could add windage correction to a custom table that would be pretty rad too. Compensate for spiral after doing real world poi confirmations.

Click to expand...

To be honest I haven’t looked much deeper than calculating drop, which I need to because I have noticed some spindrift and of course the constant wind. But I’m about to get a plenum mod which should let me move up to 37gr @965-970fps… so I’m hoping that will mitigate a lot more of the wind issues.

As far as drop goes it’s good. I’ve hit a squirrel at 125 so far but I’ve tested the table out to 190 and seen really good results.

Heat is a compressor killer, any method to address is positive. Fans, water, crankcase oil and low-speed gearing are popular. Wouldn't recommend single cooling method compressors, combination platforms will outlast. WM

If they address the compressor head cooling, they rarely address it electronically. It can be done by the end user if they're handy enough.

What WM above said! In my experience, personal & reading the forum, 18.13gr JSB seems to be the Gold Standard for a LOT of .22's.
I guess there's a reason for that. Try em!

I was remiss to learn that ThomasT had passed as I wanted to reach out about his awesome pellet trap. We all lost a great contributor! My understanding is that “Pete” Cammareri Fabrication sells these traps via his FB page. Does anyone know if Pete is selling these traps now?

Oh no, so sorry to hear that. :-(

Perle said:

That’s a shame. Mine are keepers. What are your long rangers your Zeloses ?

Click to expand...

My Kral NP03 are very accurate up to about 50-60 yards.
I downtuned them (using the transfer port adjuster) to get 3-4 good magazines.
If I increase the power they would probably be accurate even farther away.

For longer range these are my favorites (in this order):
Nova Liberty .22, Umarex Zelos .22, Avenger .22, Niksan Ozark .22, Airacuda Max .22, Nova Liberty .177, Airacuda Max .177

All of the longer range PCPs need higher power and are regulated for longer shot strings.

I still enjoy my first run AV Avenger in .25. I upgraded to the Buck Rail Tactical kit. I cast pellets for the gun and use Big Air high capacity mags. This gun continues to do everything I need it to do.

I also started with 1st Gen AV 42 fpe non choked barrel. Everyone knocked it because of the stock but, there were ways to fix it and a way to modify it as I needed more fpe without buying another pcp, 100fpe tuned it for 70 fpe because of barrel limitations. I wish I never sold it. https://www.facebook.com/alienairguns helped me to get to that level also.
