The problem with the Zelos/M60 magazine is that I have no idea how to open it up.
If I could open it up I could probably fix it.

I had a mag that seemed bad on mine. I spun it one way then the other. Seemed to have zero spring tension. Tossed it down on the table irritated. When I picked it back up it mysteriously worked. Makes zeros sense or maybe I was losing my mind with my Zelos problems.
When I was looking at my mag. It appears that center hollow post screwed together. Kinda like a Chicago screw if you’re familiar. Definitely looks like two sections where one screws into the other. Might even be left hand threads.

Good luck

Get yourself an Umarex Notos. 20fpe, quiet, lightweight, and a cheap gun. Will be quite a bit better than the 3622.

Do you guys actually take in people's 357 bulldogs and turn them into pit bulls?

@longshot81 Ummm, they likely won't see your question here, but yes they do that. You can buy a modified Bulldog or send one to them top be modified. Checkout their site. The info is there. www.pitbullairguns.com

At first I wasn't a fan thought they were cheap decided to try a helos ffp and loved it i bought another I would take the helos over a hawke and hawkes are pretty decent

I’m in agreement - as my Athlon Heras SPR 6-24x56 both FFP and SFP are just as capable in HFT at 16X… Hawkes need more numerical markers and not just dots.

Facts,many of the products you buy are made by a few giant companies,could be tires,could be your TV ,rifle scope or air gun This is nothing new....The giant companies have the means,brains and equipment to make whatever you need,the product you buy is modified to suit the style of the smaller company wants......once you know what is what you can save money,also parts interchange,because the parts are the same in many different brand,just the looks are different. Also China has up to date means to make whatever you want,you tell them what you want and they work with you to make the product you want.Sorry fact.

In today's scenario of high power PCPs, some modifications like installing an external plenum, better valve and anti hammer bounce device takes RAW to a next level as per my experience and many other users agree to it.

However, everyone has his own preferences.

Im thinking of getting a RAW, how would I get a hold of the parts you make.

Correct and of high quality. O-rings can be life or death, that is what failed on the Challenger space shuttle. Thanks for posting the link! If one wants to learn about O-rings there is no better reference than the Parker handbook. I used it a lot as a young engineering tech, later in life as national sales manager I was having major product issues in the field. The Parker handbook saved the day. Was stuck hanging in a hotel room nightly and used the Parker handbook to resolve the issue and get sales back up. All in the compound in that case. Every aspect of an O-ring is a variable, and every aspect can make a difference in the application.

Would like to see a Skout at the PA Cup 2024, since I think there were 16 Skouts competing...

Awesome write up!

Thanks, much appreciated!

Looking for a bottle adapter
Ii think that's what they call it
The part that threads into the regulator and then you screw your bottle on
I just noticed a hairline Crack coming from the shut off screw.
Anyone know where to buy these ?

I am changing the name of the group to the IOWA FILED TARGET ASSOCIATION.

What surprise me, as far as i have seen, not a single Epic Two there.

Et sinon, c'est quel calibre ?

I think most CF tanks have a 15year life span. Since I never max mine out, I'm sure it will out live me.

Depends on the tank. First Strike paintball bottles are good for life.... as long as they pass inspection.
All First Strike FS Tanks feature the UNISO tank certification. They have a never ending life span and are good for life! Hydro date on these tanks is 5 years so after every 5 years you will need to re-hydro your tank, but your tanks will never go bad! Standard Carbon Fiber tanks that are DOT or DOT/TC stamped have a life span of 15 years from production date and still need to be hydro tested after every 5 years. The First Strike FS tanks bring you the most value for your money.

The best hunting pellet is domes. They will give the deepest penetration of any design, with the exception to pointed which have an inherent accuracy problems due to their fragile tip.

I can't say that I've seen any one pellet kill any faster than another with a standard power pcp rifles, and I've tried them all.

As mentioned in post 12, you really need to check on the legality of what you’re wanting to do. A hunting license would probably be needed and done in season.
You might be better off discreetly trapping them. I’ve seen these traps that use a 5 gallon pail with a trap door on them and they fall into water. Maybe a garbage can size for squirrels, they are very athletic. Think this through though.
Are there pesticides that discourage squirrels?

Prod are easy to tune stock,I think for the most part is to get it to fit your daughter,also finding a sight she likes the best.Prods are accurate enough stock .I put a carbine like stock on some of mine and it helps for offhand shooting It put a big smile on my face to see your young one smiling a big smile ,great,Thank you

That's a nice fat one for sure. Great shot my man. I was surprised at how quick the slug got there. You should compete in Extreme FT, looks like you have your clicks & wind reading skills together.

A little off topic, but is that some sort of shrink wrap on your bottle? Just curious, might want to try that myself.

Click to expand...

Thanks for the compliment but I really get nervous with an airgun in the wind. My cold shot out of this gun is 1,038fps. Then it’s 1,045-1,048fps after that so I add two clicks to my elevation in the 130 yard range. I got another one over there the other day in the same wind conditions but I caught it an inch or so back. It died right on the tree but I was reluctant to post that video because where my slug exited was a little graphic.

It’s golf club type shrink wrap. Some of us started using it three years ago. I try to use it on guns that go to the woods so I don’t chip a bottle. One thing, you will invent new swear words when you try to get it on a bottle.

The S-Tac 4-20x50 has a duplex reticle. Not sure about other models from them.

Man when I grow up I want to be like you, you make some sweet looking and performing rigs

Conclusion as to the WHY I've sold off all my previous FX's !! ... POI shift every damn time you seem to handle the AG or fiddle with it

Ok enough of these Soda Straw barrels !!! Gutted the entirety of barrel machining up a take off 17" cut to 14" ( 355mm ) .177 barrel from a LG110 STEYR to fit down within the brass dual port barrel thimble. All done the slip fit a sizzle fit only requiring a few drops of loctite 545 to bond & seal to the OEM brass thimble & threaded shroud mount to effectively secure it.
All the previous shroud mods adjusted to accommodate the added length from the OEM 300 mm to 355 mm barrel.

Over on the chrony the previous 900 fps was now 965 fps requiring the PW to be set on 3. Muzzle report fell further as efficiency gains utilized via a tad more barrel length.

On Paper .. HOLE IN HOLE at the 34Y zero range, Set rifle out in sun for a hour or so @ 117* metal/ optics temp ... very close & acceptable POI .. Bring into shop and cool off, knock it around mildly, take off scope & reattach and then re-shoot with same POi

Now I'm likely 1/2 pound heavier, but consistent and unchanging accuracy rules the day !!! Thinking we're finding improvement there !
