Pump To Maximize Air Use When Shooting Big Bores While Tethered

Yes compressor is the external force.

usb cycles electronics. Electronic valve controls 100 psi air to piston that moves the compression pistons "Drive Air". 100 psi air can come from shop compressor or be regulated down from the bottle (save the money on the regulator and use shop compressor). Bottle pressure air feeds the air that is being compressed by the 2 compression pistons and boosted to 4500 psi (input can be 800-3000 psi "supply Air").

Standard version uses shop air at 100 psi and splits it for both functions - driving air and supply air to be compressed. It has 2 stages of compression that are sequential (upto 800 psi then to 4500 psi).

Standard version with B2B option - uses only the stage that boosts 800 to 4500 psi (left half).

B2B version - Right and Left stage are identical and both are used to boost "supply bottle pressure" to 4500 psi. You can buy the regulator to regulate bottle pressure to down 100 psi for "Drive" air if you are in the field or you can supply a compressor to provide the "Drive Air" and save money on the regulator.

The 2 American boosters only worked for B2B and only had 1 stage of compression. They were $1250-$1500, I think - heavier, did not cycle automatically. You had to push the button for each compression cycle. I never had any of the American ones. I did have a Haskel Scuba booster and it was a beast .

Where Do I Begin???

22 yards is prob a good starting zero for your scope on a springer, depending of course, on the weight and speed of the pellet your shooting.

The peak of my trajectory is about 26-27 yards using a 40mm scope mounted low shooting 14.66 pellets at 640 fps. and sighted at 25. So 22 yards seems just about perfect. It would shoot pretty flat from 20-28 and barely noticeable drop at 30.

I sight mine in at 25 because I never shoot any closer than that. But a couple yards closer zero would be perfect for garden pests from 12-30 yards. You could (almost) hit behind the crosshair and never worry about trajectory until you got past 30.

Knowing that optimum zero point is critical to a good hunting shot. If you are dialing in elevation for each range that's an easy concept to overlook. Shooting at varied ranges and using holdover it becomes really important.

Shooting a scope mounted high really changes things too. Your peak trajectory is farther out. So a big scope mounted high really messes with your close shots and puts your "flat spot" farther out.. If that works then its groovy. But you will need more correction for close shots.

RAW Rapid  How to degas RAW Micro Hunter?

Jeff, my 177 came with one of these extra deep mags is the issue - not a proper pellet mag really. If it had been the marauder style then fine, I know those work. So I had to buy a mag and went with Maple and its flawless. They also made me a narrow side shot loader for my other RAW and I love it.

Ah ok that makes sense. Mine are all the original style.

avenger pressure question?

3000psi? That's kind of low for a system capable of 4500 don't you think? if I can't go to advertised pressures or close to it, my shot strings will be what 25 shots at 3000? Granted, I never fill to 4500, mostly I fill to 4000 to 4200.
Maybe you mean to test the system at a lower pressure? Then yes I agree with you totally. Which I did, with the same result. Thanks for the input! Have fun,
Gerry

Another FX rifle,like is FX the Baskins Robbins of air guns?

Fx making cheap rifles? Lmao. Come on, their cheapest model cost a thousand USD. I can get real firearm for much less. When buying any fx guns, expect to pay $1000-2000. When fx makes a $200-300 gun, I will lick my dog's azzhole. Lmao
If someone at FX sees this and decides to make a $300 gun just for this, we're going to need a video for proof that you did it.

FX  O-Ring in clip

Yeah, I’ve had something like that happen before. Turns out, the O-ring came off the probe and got stuck in the clip, messing things up. Since then, I always keep some extras, like spring retainer clips and O-rings, just to avoid headaches when I’m out shooting. It’s worth checking the diagram for your gun to figure out where it came from, but my guess would be the breech or probe area. Happened to me once, and it was an easy fix once I spotted it.

Looks like the Caldwell Velociradar is available to ship just now

Before I bought my Garmin, I contacted Caldwell and asked questions about it working with airguns. I got an email back that was not encouraging. It said that smaller projectiles, like pellets, could be problematic. Certainly not the, "heck yeah, it works" I was looking for.
The Garmin never misses a shot, so I'm happy with my choice.

Domed pellets for small game

Some may think I don't like JSB pellets because of some of my comments. That is not where I am at. I just have not found them to always shoot better than H&N pellets in my guns. Some guns they do and some they don't. So I always test both. The only ones I've shot today happened to be JSBs because I was sighting in a different scope on my P35-25 and it prefers JSBs. I've seen others who have the opposite experience and I can totally believe that. Guns want what they want.

Odd but Possible Viable Lead Source?

I have been casting bullets for my airguns out of roofing lead for years. It is really soft and works great for cast airgun slugs. I also swage airgun slugs but haven't tried swaging slugs with the roof lead yet but I'm sure it's soft enough. I'm sure they would know for sure the hardness on the cast bullit forum.

N/A  Glock 45 MOS?

In my opinion airsoft replica pistols are much better training aides than the BB/pellet counterparts. Their full blowback action and realistic takedown just like the real thing give them a real edge, along with realistic magazine ammo counts.

I think this G45 airsoft replica is just what you are looking for.


Looking back at your OP I realized the optic mount requirement. There are aftermarket MOS slides sold.

The Gen4 is full blowback and tears down just like the real thing. It holds a few more BBs than the real thing would hold cartridges, but that’s not actually a problem. All you need to do is just load a few less if you want it to match the capacity.

Having the MOS setup is a genuine advantage for airsoft however.
