That's cool! Airforce should have released a new model with factory pic rail instead of dove. Great work!

Yes, it seems pretty ridiculous.

the "splits" shot timer app for android has picked up my sig virtus very very well.

i use it to shoot steel challenge style shooting.

free is good lol

I have been dreaming of an LP Tac 2 stock. But just can’t justify it.

If both were shooting the same slug at the same speed would the accuracy be the same?

Click to expand...

At the same medium/short distance with light slugs, the short barrel more likely to have an accuracy edge.

For long distance, with heavy slugs at high velocity, the short barrel will have a more violent shot cycle, which can affect your accuracy. The longer barrel can do the same velocity with lower pressure and a lighter hammer strike.

Good that Mike was able to fix you up. You might want to reverse the cam cover to its original position so it hides the bolt lug and helps keep dirt out.

Good point! The cam cover was in this position when got the rifle, didn’t know it should be vice versa. Thank you!!!

It is a bit confusing because when designating a tank size in liters, the true volume of the tank is used (how much liquid it can hold).

When designating in cubic feet, it’s how much air AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE the tank will hold.

In liters, pressure is not accounted for in the designation.

Hth,

6.75L or 412 cubic inches.

Hey guys. My new M4 was barely cocking and then about 20 shot in it stopped cocking all together. How would I fix that? Settings are as it came out of the box. Pictured below. Shooting 18.1 at 890 FPS. Not great groups at 38 yards with JSB and FX. Was about to try AEA but won't cock now. (also see mystery screw I found on Patio a few posts down).

Mine doing same thing it's just springing forward won't cock to even load a pellet and I paid $35 for a custom tune from Utah Airguns for the 25.39 grain Hades monsters hammer was on 5 and 115 reg when i got it why wouldn't they notice the cocking problem when they Tuned it. It did it first time cocking it and still doing it calling them tomorrow

The rules is the rules is the rules

Barrel bands finally got here. Shipped from Germany. Made the front sight replacement shroud from a .89 plumbing fixture. Did the pistol and rifle both. Looks cleaner without the sights to me.View attachment 483026View attachment 483027

I like those barrel bands , I also bought 2 and one stormrider/cr600w/ aluminum receivers with walnut grip and M4 stock adapter. really nice stuff.

We hate to cancel the match, but weather and low turnout coupled with shooters not registering online has forced us to.

she’d insist I sit down for a cup of tea with her

Well of course.
I have now gotten several invitations to get coffee at other elderly people living where my mother do, i have kindly turned those down CUZ i only drink 1 cup in the morning.
But it is only 2 days ago since i offered one of the little old ladies a ride home with her shopping, but she preferred to walk in the nice weather, which i also understand and after all it is just a few 100 M of walking.

I'm with you, John.

Some of the things I love about airguns are...

They're easy to diagnose. No electronics needed. Has seals and leaks. Okay...
You don't need a lift or to pull the wheels off.
You can fix them while seated or standing (instead of laying flat on your back on a creeper).
The're not loaded with sensors that usually give you bad data because of wear in the wiring.
They don't have wiring (and if they do then I ain't buying one).
You don't have to subscribe to a service just to figure out what's wrong.
They don't have to be and stay EPA compliant (yet).
You don't have to mortgage your soul to Mac or Snap-On for the tools to repair them.
I'm my only disgruntled customer.

Good luck,

J~

Jeff,

All your points are well stated no doubt. Your comments speaks volumes about the journey you go on when wrenching for so long. I grew up with the 3 rules of spark, air or fuel as the main culprits. While I love what electronics have done to improve our on the road experience they sure have added layer upon layer of techno babble just to get er' done now a days.

I can see from both using and from the exploded diagrams that the crosman 2250 platform is simple and straight forward. I have tuned many a TX200 and HW97 and also built the obligatory RWS 850 bottle gun conversion. Even made my own simple reg tester for that project. Then I drifted into the dark side if you will of pcps and while it was a fun ride I yern for the simpler days of the magic feeling I got from my first ever Mountain Air custom guns.

I haven't shot for over 2 years so I am refreshed and renewed if you will. Very excited to get back into the hobby. It could be due to a recent trade I made of a pencil, a single die and a AR for a 86 F250 with a transplanted 7.3 International IDI. Pure mechanical diesel with none of the tech you get with a truck today. I can see it now me loading up the freshly resealed MA 1750, MA 2050, MA 2250 and the MA 2550 in Iddy and driving to the lake for some afternoon co2 plinking . Brings a smile to my face for the simplicity of it all..... Stay tuned.

~GOD BLESS~

We had a good discussion several years ago that you may find helpful.......



Ron

Currently it may be the issues caused by the "crowdstrike" which is global, likely largest IT screw up in history. Tried flying commercial or any transaction, heck Bank of America went down, global.
And depending where you are what card.... sometimes you do need to call your bank/card issuer to prior approval the charge. I've had that occur.

John

Dude after what happened with those two dumb ****s who bassicaly did swatting on you address you keep lifting that middle finger. Lot of respect for that. Keep on it. Maybe you have a future somewhere in the industry.

I Have the same mold in 2 cavity they shoot well out of my Texan I PC'd some and sized to .457 real accurate to 50 yards I just need some time at the 100 yard line now.

Love all the reviews.

I will check later - i am curious as well. I am guessing around 35-40 fpe /in the 800's? as far as fps, based on the report and my memory of the adjustments I made since I last clocked it. The crowmags are pretty light for .25 but I don't recall the weight.

it's not really conserving air - one mag plus a dry fire takes it from 350 down to 200 bar.

The Crow-mags though really do create a small explosion when they pancake inside the prey. When scrubbing through the slomo footage you can visualize the spot in the zuch where it dumped the energy because everything is rushing away from that point in all directions.

They all ask full retail on ebay . You might get a mod or an optic with it for that price. I don't disagree with wait to buy an fx till the rolling updates catch up. The youtube southafrican infomercials and rolling updates funded by early adopters I take big issue with too.

If they asked half price id buy them all up and spin a simple delrin part up on the lathe in 5 minutes to replace the offending part, maybe even add 2 more. I will keep my eyes peeled for more instances of this issue. As of yet mine has been awesome and bricks the game birds super reliably. Sorry you had a bum example.

Click to expand...

Delrin spacers may be a good replacement for those flimsy little wagon wheel spacers, ain't gonna fix the cracks in the .177 liners. If FX totally stopped making .177's I may gather a little respect for them.

I actually miss that guy's posts....his posts were gd entertainment and he had us thinking he had more airguns than aoa lol

Probably a sign that I shoot to much OR NOT !

Since July I got the Rempel rest, yes, this one is big and heavy as well





Ordered with a picatinny adapter, and I already had some arca clamps in my drawers.
This rest is .... a totally different ball game , this what I can say
Shopping now for a heavy duty (f-class again) rear bag. Not in hurry but actively looking.

I just did a Chaszel barrel liner to Airforce condor and it was easy to thread to 3/8-24 thread and buy a Amazon brake line adapter for 3/8-24 to 1/2-20 it is $5.69 drill over bore diameter.. Another option many to choose from..
