My buddy has a Hatsan NS with an Altaros Regulator and when trying to fill it, there is a leak out of a little hole in the reg. Any ideas as to a fix?

I am getting different answers from different sources on this, and finding all kinds of different charts on the liner twist rates for the Superior and Superior Heavy Liners in .30/700mm. I was wondering if anyone who has recently received a new Impact M4 .30 700mm Sniper would be willing to verify the twist rate currently shipping with new guns by eyeballing the twist rate data lasered on the side of the liner? A pain, I know, but if someone could positively tell me whether it's 1:40 or 1:22 coming on a new M4 .30 700mm Sniper, I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

Chuck

And finally...what happened?

All okay now. I think a good cleaning with the right stuff (OTIS 085) did help.

Yes. Im aware of that
But how is it best to tune? With hammer and fixed reg setting or with reg + hammer

Buy the large plenum and a slug kit

I had .5 inch groups at 50 yards with JSB shallow 25.39 pellets.

It's tough to argue with Performance for less Money.

In the pro class...lets say the top 30 ...any of them "independent"? non affiliated with a team?

Click to expand...

My guess would be all of them to some degree from a full ride, to a shirt and ammo. That's why in the near future there will need to be separate championships for sponsored or independent. If they do that,....there will be a flood of VERY talented shooters coming out of powder smallbore where ammo is WAY too expensive if you can find it, and no $$$ just trophiesyear before they finish this year. and a thanks see you next year.

When more of us realize how good these PCP rifles are 22lr will be extinct. Having sold all my powder burning stuff and transitioning to Air, I am in that camp. The best part is most all the equipment transfers right over so intro cost is low...rifle and comprressor and away you go. Not to mention you can practice at home!

The powers that be will need to realize...if they want higher participation numbers.... that unsponsored serious shooters are going to stay home if they have to shoot against factory engineer prepped guns, handpicked barrels, perfect ammo, and all you can eat, I'm all for "belly up" quit whining and shoot your target, but if I'm coming out of pocket for everything and shooting next to a full ride shooter? The first year will be a fun experienee. The next year will be a hard sell.

@88turbocoupe Good question. I don't know, but you may be surprised with what some people come up with.

Click to expand...

you know i wasn't thinking this isn't the same world i grew up in

Try a little automotive valve grinding compound on a small, round head, BRASS screw chucked up in a drill. apply a little pressure with the round head screw using the valve grinding compound to chamfer the leading edge of the rear of the barrel. This may take care of the issue. Also, you can purchase some brands of pellets with varying head diameters. H&N Field Target Trophy is one brand which comes to mind. You may find that going to a smaller diameter pellet is all that needs to be done.
Good luck!

I'd avoid Hunter Supply slugs due to the way they are packaged and arrive and they way that mine don't shoot worth a damn. They're going to be ingots along with H&N Grizzly slugs.

@Ezana4CE I foolishly ordered a box of 250 of them. I was shocked when I opened the box and they were not packaged or protected at all! They were all simply poured into the box, it was sealed, and they shipped it!

@Ezana4CE Thank you. It was a lot of fun to be out and shot my airgun again. Just helping out the farmer to thin out these pests. The HW100T is my first PCP and it is still one of my favourite. Just like any PCP, once you find the right ammo and the right tune, the accuracy is excellent. This gun is heavy and built like a tank, but it is easy to maintain and operate. A great gun for my rats work. Cheers.

I started with a hair dryer to heat it up and get the end cap off. No dice. Moved on to a torch and got it hot enough I couldn’t hold it without a rag even in the opposite end. Clear gauge lens and gauge face got hot enough to warp and fall out. The inner gauge screw right out but both end plugs won’t budge. Open to suggestions.

Thanks Dairyboy!!! The Uragan had just come out when I was last actively in airguns. Looks like they've discontinued the current gen of Uragan and coming out with something new / updated?

Click to expand...

Talon Tunes still has the original in .177 and the newer Uragan 2. I don't think there is alot difference besides a 20moa rail and I believe a balanced valve. Regardless both great and worth a look. Of course looking for a .177 Taipan is an option also. But for a lower powered gun the Uragan Compact are hard to beat.

Google will find threads on improving these mounts.

Was not where I was going.
I was suggesting a design that does not require improvement.
One that would eliminate those actual or perceived issues.

Ok great, no full auto shooting for me!! Thanks for the advice!!

I have no regrets with mine. I got lucky mine is not pellet picker, actually I’m in the process of testing all my pellets before move to slugs, I will be posting the results later best pellet so far is baracuda extreme hunter 19.09 in .22 8 rounds @25 yards single hole

Click to expand...

Mine were shooters aside from leaks. Well 2 of the 3 haha. Try jsb 20.83s if you have any. They were the best pellets I tried out. Here’s 4 shots at 73 yards. I can’t remember what the reg was set at.

I wonder how far down the road until we see a binary trigger appear?

Good question and good answer! I learn as much as I can when I have time to view these posts. Thanks

The only issue you should be concerned with is if the components can handle it in the event of regulator failure where the gun sees full pressure. So either double check that with other users, or ensure there is a burst disc ahead of the bottle to prevent it from ever seeing 4500 in the worse case scenario.

Thanks for the info.

I lied. It's been so many years I forgot what I have in it. It looks like the regulator is variable and currently set to 2500psi. I think what I'll do is only fill to current pressures and just enjoy the extra 150cu/in's capacity (430 vs 580).

These things aren't cheap and I'm not too excited about potentially wrecking something trying to max it beyond the components original design.

Scott...It's very contradictory to point out how the class has flourished and become the biggest and, therefore, most important....but then strip the credit from the very organization that created it and guided its success.

If you start your own organization, then the vast number of Hunter shooters that you believe have elected you as their mouthpiece will surely follow you anywhere. In one fell swoop... you'll cripple the good ole boys and take the sport to heights beyond comprehension.

I got the22 rh and have been shooting it. Nice gun and I’m pretty sure it’s new. Don’t think they had many 22 s especially in rh. Killer deal ! I had been looking at the wood stocked ones and was going to buy one and after speaking to Utah airguns they said I would probably be happier with an FX M3 for hunting. I’m very happy with my new M3 in 30 caliber and it will be my go to ground squirrel gun. My raw is a heavier gun even though it’s the chassis model.
Anyway I was going to wait till spring to get a 22 but the deal was too good to pass up. Both guns are very accurate and ima happy shooter.
