I of course am just in the camp of not being a fan of the fx reg design. Be it Huma or whatever. Every other brand gun I have owned lacked the hidden and tricky to get at orings present in the FX design. No thanks. Great shooting guns though. 100 %. Selling my last one.

I like my Caiman X and it is built noticably better than my other airguns. It is not more accurate, however, and it's CZ barrel likes to get lead fouled near the breach. It is still accurate with pellets but my SPA barrels are as accurate and none has lead fouled like the Caiman.

I would almost guarantee that he bent something. He probably not only shot it without the magazine and a pallet, but with the probe open.

Thanks

CORRECTION!!!: That is NOT the BLEED SCREW (shown at the end of this video). DO NOT UNSCREW THAT SCREW UNDER PRESSURE. It is the test pressure guage port to ad an included test guage. Probably for reg pressure. To see it.

Got $2500 burning a hole in your pocket? Here you go:

This aint' no Western Sidewinder...way nicer. Worth the $, if you got it to spend, in my opinion. Best slug shooter out there for sure. Thanks for watching! -Nate

My friend just got one. He loves it.

None that I’m aware of. If I owned that gun I would 110% buy the refillable air cylinders that are made by a couple manufacturers. Pay for itself quick.

Woohoo, that makes 11.
Dont know if it counts as a quality post.

There is the tried and true vague request for best tune on your rifle, with follow-up answers...

You got a backflip! I've seen 3 of those in 20 years of cotton tail hunting for a golf course. You should get pass thru or acceptible terminal results with your energy levels. My buddy was using 177 pellets at 12 fpe for years and they never walked off. 60 yard shots usually.

Nice video and shot!

I get alot of backflips, the 3rd one did a backflip with a twist https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/3-more-rabbits-for-the-stew-slow-mo.1336570/

AOA sells an excellent 36" whip. It is light, flexible, very well made, and can be purchased with or without fittings.

I have two of these.

I have no need for a 30, but I am 100% sure that puppy will be packing some power,, WOW, My 25 caliber shorty is just over the edge in power , Shooting GTO pellets I can go from 1,300 FPS to 600 FPS in just a few turns of the power knob, I keep mime tuned to 600 FPS just for the shoot count and I don't shoot past 30 -35 yards with my pistols , Grackles, sparrows and Euro doves are about the only kills I have made with the GKl 25 caliber shooting the GTO pellets , Red dot installed and its been a huge learning curve shooting with a red dot but I think I am getting the hang of it.

Sounds like your logic is spot on,lube is good in the right amounts and the right places. I'm retired out of the aviation maintenance and learned the manufacturers are very specific on this as far as what type and where it is used,the idea if a little is good then a lot should be better is left for the 'other guys' who don't get it. I'm pleased you have got this figured out for your guns. Thank you for sharing, hopefully some one will read this and think,hey, that might be a problem they are having and don't realize it.. Bill

I see you have the common problem of not seeing the closed window.

My PB rifle range has HUGE Leopold stickers on the window. Never understood why until I realized it was so the windows do not get shot out.

Thanks folks...wise and very well received suggestions!

Didn't realize that info was provided by Airmaks. DOH Thank you!

Limited lifetime for US sales. I didn't dig into details.

Wow! That’s a great deal!!

Would be great if there was a way around this. But understandable with all the scammers out there today

Depending on your version of Torpedo you should be getting 750-850 FPS with .25.

You need to test it out with a chronograph. If you are not getting close to those numbers it is most likely the spring mechanism. Two versions, gas ram and spring so you need to determine which version you have. Cocking force should be pretty stout. If it isnt that would be a clue.

Also could be a missing breech seal. Given how long it sat it could have dried out and disintegrated with the first shot.

There is a series of youtube videos on the Torpedo. I'd watch them first. Might help you decide if a rebuild is in your future.

What is the barrel diameter and has anyone stuck on a moderator?

Click to expand...

The barrel is 0.785 and I did buil a moderator for it with 4 baffles that works really well.

so, for every .01mm it is just under 4 ten thousands of an inch .0003937
i would think those are in spec

I would agree, BARS are some great slugs, I am putting in an order soon for my bulldog m357.

I got my new pcp gun today it’s an sig sauer virtus. I spent the extra money and got an air compressor. My question is,,say I’m down to about a quarter tank and I want to go ahead and refill it. Can I unscrew it from the gun with a quarter tank of air left in it or do I have to somehow bleed all the air out first and then unscrew it to fill it up or can I fill it up while it’s still attached to the gun.?? I know that there’s warnings saying that it’s a very high amount of pressure and I just don’t want it exploding on me or something. Sorry if this seems like stupid question like I said this is my first one.

Welcome to Airgun Nation. Congratulations on your new PCP rifle. Beware, the rabbit hole is deep. HPA is a tool and you have to respect it.

YouTube is your friend. Here is a good video on your rifle to get started. Rick puts a lot of work into his videos.


I would youtube your compressor as well and watch whatever you can find.

Have fun!

The display issue seems to have resolved.
