Thank you. I will give these setting a try.

And, in addition to enlarging your transfer port, you'll want to enlarge (drill out) the valve opening as well...

It would probably be expensive to built a functional replica, but if someone produced it, I would probably find a way to own one.

Michael, can we be friends? Lets see ... Texas, vacation leave, pack up the Hiker trailer, convince the wife, find pet setters, leave teenagers alone ... maybe best to save up for one!

Whenever people come to visit I try to offer them a variety of different airguns to try. Most of the time they migrate towards the L2. Likely for its: size, weight, length, balance, semi-auto, and overall fun to shoot.

thank you, love these rifles, looking for one that will shoot pellets and slugs around 60 to 150 yds.
have my eye on the FX king 25 cal. looked at AA s510 but other members say not great at long distance. daystate looks ok but you can't tweak it .
I have patience and don't mind slug frustration, rather spend for quality and get it tuned to my liking. any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Light attendance for our Friday N50 match. Conditions were very favorable, but results were not as good as they should have been. I was hit by some radical flyers.

High grade oil in important in any hot process, and these pumps generate a lot of heat!

Nice

I think most agree, side lever or underlever leave little to gain over a quality break barrel. My untuned HW30s always shoots to the same point of impact, and shoot as good as my Tuned HW77K. My R10 shoots just as good tuned by the same tuner.

Buy a proven quality rifle be it underlever, side lever, or barrel breaker, locking breach or detent, and you'll find the only differance, is the guy pulling the trigger.

That little HW30s will shoot better for me when shooting all of the offhand. The 54 Diana,,,, is untouchable off a rest!

Just apples and oranges, both can be better at different times, your the deciding factor.

The most important thing is knowing what alloy you want anodized. The process is different for 6061 and 7075 for instance. Surface prep will be taken care of buy the first step which is an acid bath. Then you have to decide how much buildup you desire. Typically 0.001 penetration and 0.001 is enough for something like an air gun.

Check out the Westhunter scopes on Amazon. They have a lot of choices at reasonable prices. You can get them with or without illumination, FFP or SFP, and different sizes. This is my favorite: WestHunter Optics WHT SFIR FFP Series Compact Competition Riflescope, 1/10 MIL First Focal Plane Red Illumination Etched Glass Reticle, 30mm Tube Tactical Precision Shooting Scopes https://a.co/d/bswWWl8
I love the recticals on these. I've replaced all of my front bell AO scopes with this brand and haven't been happier.

Hey Fire, do you have experience with a shorter FX barrel (like about the size of the standard formfactor) on the Notos? Especially my sons Notos has some strange flyers with the Umarex barrel, (while the other shots in a group are a small ragged single hole) and he is (understandably) not very happy about it. We ruled out many possibilities, so maybe a different barrel eliminates the flyers alltogether...

If you bump up the power it should shoot great without a new barrel I think to save money I am just going to stick with it how it is and I like the compactness killing out to 100 9/10 times

It was with the .25 Cal.

It is about 76 fpe and shooting NSA slugs 29 grain.

I believe mine was doing 970ish with the 38.5gr NSA in .254

Best bang for your buck. Powerful accurate and semi modular. You can put a bigger air tank on it. If your shooting pellets make sure u use lighter spring.

I just remembered that West Hunter adjustable rings have horizontal "ribs" (or notches) on the internal surface of the two moving parts between the base and the ring that allow height adjustment. This means that adjustments can only be made in discrete steps (around 1mm steps), and you must change the height of both rings at the same time to avoid cant and stressing out the scope tube. I.e. they do not allow you to change the angle of the ring vs the base like FX no-limits. They work very well for adjusting the overall height of a scope, but they would not work well when you need to change the angle of the scope to compensate for the drop. Same problem with the Monstrum rings I suggested before, I scratched them out from my last post.

I can't recommend those, they keep the bores parallel but do not allow you to tilt the bores to the scope. i.e. you can mess up your scope, either FX No Limits, not my personal favorite, or my personal favorites, Eagle Visions. Not cheap but less than messing up a scope.

Doesn't the Brocock have a 20moa rail? I'm on their website and there is nothing about the rail.

Nice gesture. Hope you drilled home just how LETHAL today's airguns are.

I will be glad to look at them. The forum has some pretty tight regulations for buying and selling. They want you to have 10 posts and 10 days in attendance to gain access to the classified section. Trades and sales are only allowed in the classifieds... You may get notice of an edit or removal of your last post. No worries, I have read it already

Thank you for your Service. I will be in touch soon.

Agree with Matt here. Had the same issue with my AEA. You might want to look into upgrading to so-called "Enhanced Main Valve Pin", check out eBay. One sec, here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256523570804. But I'm not sure if this "Enhanced" valve would work on your Varminter, better ask the seller.

I just won this on ebay for $46 and was wondering if it's springer rated otherwise it will go on a 10/22

$46? holy cr$p, that's beyond cheap. It's 200 bucks scope, give it or take. Congrats on the score!

PumaCarl said:

Every barrel, every bore, bore type, length, twist, choke, you name it they all shoot everything different from one another pretty much. There are very few universally loved pellets for each caliber. You have done well to find one that shoots well enough to please you. A big win.

Super cool. Swap the stuff out and shoot most anything. I admit it's tempting.

You are trying to lure me in. I'm trying to keep the devil down in a hole.

I'll have one. The curandera told me an FX rifle was in my future. I'm not sure how far in the future. You Florida guys with your big lizards are shortening the time line for sure.

I'd like to shoot a few first. I always buy and then move up. I'd like to cut to the chase and get what I need up front. That's going to take some research and connection.

I met a guy here I think cam get my feet wet with PCPs. Hopefully we'll have a chance to chew the fat.

I have scuba tanks and access to a breathing air compressor. So it's not all uphill. I'll shoot a few, do some research and get me one pretty soon. It just looks fun and blurs the line between the powder rifles and the springer. It's a really neat deal.

They seem to be an HW95 clone-the only one I've seen was a guy shooting one in an FT match with pretty poor results.

That's exactly what I would do except the tune kit would probably be at the house before the gun actually arrived . With the exception of my first Weihrauch I don't think any of the others have had more than 20 shots through them before the factory springs were replaced

Click to expand...

I did the same but after I shot the factory gun out of the box for a while. I still have my factory 77K spring even though I sold the rifle, it was getting over 900fps with a 7.9 premier with a o-ring piston seal and custom guides.
Point is you shouldn't have to do anything to a new rifle but shoot it for 50K pellets or whatever. A young boy isn't going to do any tuning, he just wants to shoot and hunt with the rifle.

Isn't this simply a case of how fast that your slugs are leaving the barrel?

Click to expand...

No, we are not actually talking about ballistics at this point. We are talking about mis-information, poor standardized testing/reporting procedures, bad inter-company communications, and why everyone lets this slide. Your own testing will always be right for you, but how products are represented is up to the companies.

RMR, supplier and maker of the FX Hybrid .30 caliber has one number, FX had printed another number on their box, Element (FX) ballistic software uses the original RMR bc. Huh? WTH Talk to each other people!

I find them to be .07 in my gun, just like the FX box says, but that's just me.
