AT 29 it still pushing the 64gr bullet .. it falls apart after 29 .. will cut one of them to 30.5 just to see where it goes.. I just posted what happened in a test . really was expecting to be supersonic at 33.5 but it didn't.. kept in mind than a 64gr bullet in 22 is almost 3/4" long as long as 85gr . 257 bullet

Pellet weight is more a function of initial pressure. Heavier pellet takes more energy to accelerate from rest. That damn Newton and his laws. Continued acceleration takes more energy too but the question still remains at what point does the pressure on the pellet drop below the energy required for acceleration.

High starting pressure only gets you part of the way.
These two can give the same FPS/FPE
High pressure no plenum: high initial accel but ceases acceleration soon.
Lower Pressure w plenum: Pellet accelerates for a longer period

You get more shots with the plenum.

been looking for a good parts diagram and can't find one with enough details
i am little surprised that JG air guns doesn't have one

I took the advice on this forum and contacted Daisy. They sent me the attached Schematic along with a parts/price list. Thought I would share with the group.

Saw quite a few w/o springs on Ebay just now. HOWEVER what used to be listed in the $18-25ish range is $55-70ish! There are some around $17 but they're fully "sprung". (fully springed, spranged springified?!?) You know, end to end.

Athlon does have a no questions asked return policy so they may take it back and exchange it. Heard good things about their customer service.

Seems like a great gun for a shooting coyotes at close range. However a little bit too loud for my backyard. I doubt of any Moderator would make it backyard friendly.

I'm thinking that this sort of a cleaning is appropriate for my steroided Blue Streak.
Thanks for the reminder and good write up!

In reading many posts about the N50 results, it seems that the Rem 40X dominates the rimfire class and Thomas the pellet class.

I think you would see from the past few years of Sporsman standings that the Anschutz rifles (except for Joe’s Suhl) take most of the top spots. That will end now that slug rifles can compete in Sportsman Class

I had to plead and beg to get my mom to sign off on allowing me to join the National Guard on my 17th birthday. I served a year of weekend drill before graduation then off to boot camp. That was 26 years ago next Thursday. I carry challenge coins everyday to hand out to veterans (My brothers and sisters) that served. Every Saturday morning at the local coffee shop 30-40 veterans from Vietnam to today meet up and make sure we're all okay. I missed being deployed by 2 weeks. My 6 years were up and my unit went to Iraq without me. I lost a few good friends that year. Call it a blessing or a curse. Could have been me that didn't come home or it could have been me that made sure they could. I'll never know. I carry this coin proudly and if you read it closely and think of the meaning behind it you'll hopefully understand that those brave men and women that truly gave it all, paved the way for us to celebrate.

What you shared was truth. No hurt feels here. Even those who were blessed to come home are not who they left as.

Old Vet wants to thank you for your service , and your support. Where can I get some of these coins.? OldVet Steve.

It is not the same brand but it looks like the same battery I have for my trolling motor on my small V boat. It will have 14V at full charge or perhaps a little less and will be fully discharged when it reaches 12V. Cars provide about 14V when the motor is running so I don't see how it can hurt your compressor. I think it will work fine. Mine weighs about half what a lead acid battery weighs but it is still not light. A cart is a good idea. The compressor will not be as quiet as a bottle filling your gun but people in a range should be wearing hearing protection and may not even hear it.

You could also buy a Chinese bottle with fill set for about what that battery costs, however. That could be another way to go. The bottle will not give you 300 bar fills but works well for me to provide 250 bar fills. Fills are quicker and quieter with a bottle. Your GX CS4 is said to be able to fill up to a 6.8 litter bottle like I use.

Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
Thank you.

Perle= You may be on to something? My gun is now at about 1400 psi, so I took a few shots. 610, 616, 619. A lot closer than from a full fill. So why doesn't the reg work like it should at a full fill? I still think I turned the reg to far down?

humbled.ag · May 27, 2025

The match has been canceled due to a scheduling snafoo. No need to worry, there's a match on Sunday at Rockville Fish and Game in Vernon Ct.
Our next match is the Mass Bay Challenge June 6-8. Hope to see you there!

Airgun Depot has some models of Kral, currently. I am a happy owner of both Kral and Reximex guns. Nearing 150k pellets collectively through 4 guns. I know that Turkey has been in a tough place in the world for the last several years. Hope they can find some stability and resume free trade with the world.

Yeah, I have a Reximex Throne 2 .25, bought through Huma Air, price vs features it cannot be touched. Pretty much all the features of guns priced 3x or 4x its cost. Well made, nothing negative noted quality wise. Thread somewhere where Troy Hammer (thammer) did all the tweaks.

Very accurate, head shot a tree rat at 35-40 yards 30 feet up.

Only minor negative, a bit underpowered but that can be fixed with regulator adjustment and a little porting. Still need to port mine.

jland48 · Jun 4, 2025

My GX cs3 will only put up 2000psi. Is there a place to send these to get repaired?

I had an m3 so I said wth let me just try. Tied some fishing line to it and screwed it in, when it stopped reversed one full turn. Works like a charm, I can use pliers to pull the fishing line up, adjust the regulator before the threads of the rsservoir, and then push it back down with a ½” pvc.

I’m dying though, Ive disassembled this gun probably 5 times in a week and shot 500-1000+ shots, all hand pumped lol.

Good thinking. I’ve been tuning my PRod for weeks. Try not to let the obsession get the best of you lol. I would not want to being tuning with a hand pump. Especially pumping from completely empty. Start saving for a gx compressor. You’ll be so happy you did. Good luck and have fun

Was curious if 18 tuned to like 925 if 22 would be like 870-880

I bet you are in the ballpark and your gun might even shoot them faster. Projectile weight also plays with how and how long your valve actuates. It's extremely nuanced. Buy a tin and try, even if they're slow you can use them for plinking at worst?

Struckat · May 23, 2025

Got it, thank you. Interesting, the reds here will run the greys out of town .LOL

Gun: Benjamin marauder
Goal: thermal(night) optical (day) scope set up with over 10x max magnification.
Budget: Low

Can I use a magnifier with an LPVO to increase its total magnification or can I not get more than 8ish with any LPVO set up (optical only)

The current scope I’m leaning towards is the Athlon Talos BTR FFP 4-14x44mm. After doing research I’m worried this scopes bottom magnification is too high and will be too pixelated from the zoom.

Last, I’m just hoping for recommendations on good quality but budget clip ons that could pair well with the talos or something else if there’s other recommendations

Depending on your budget take a look at Pulsar. Cameron at Thermal optics plus will talk to you about any line he carries and will give you an honest answer on what scopes are having issues and which firmwares for manufactures are giving the clearest images.

Where can we get it in USA?

Not sure. I’m in Australia. But they are such a good little piece of equipment.

harrympope · May 24, 2025

I would have no problem fitting the barrel as I have a little lathe but like you said it's the magazine that would be an issue. I would be completely happy if the gun was a single shot honestly. Didn't somebody Set up an AirForce platform with a 224 barrel set up?
I would love to have a rifle set up with a standard .224 bore and 1'16 twist .Because I have about ovee a dozen 22 caliber bullet molds I use in powder burners.

The Salem Pistol and Rifle Club located at 430 Black Creek Rd, Salem NY will host two 3 target N50 matches on Sunday 5/25. Gate will be opened at 8am and we will draw for benches as shooters arrive. Match 1 will begin at 10am and we usually begin Match 2 around 12pm, finishing up at approximately 2:30. Match fee is $10 per match and shooters are not obligated to shoot both matches. The weather is supposed to be around 62 degrees with a chance of an isolated shower or two.
Our range is 16 concrete benches on an 80' firing line covered by four 10x 20' carports. We have another 40' of covered area for cleaning and equipment storage just behind the firing line. There are a limited number of stools available so if you're planning on attending you might want to consider bringing your own.
Hope to see our regulars and some new faces!
Todd Banks
