Actually I found the issue...

I'm running a Maddog stock on my AFT 45, and was running a 500cc Acecare CF tank , which is around 12-1/2" from flat to round ends of the tank.
It seems to stick out past the butt of the rifle around 1" along with the butt pad.. so when taking shots, as I pulled into the gun, changing my posture recently.... my shoulder grazed the tank enough for my entire tank and valve to move ever so slightly on shots,,... sheering off the rings....
The Acecare 500cc with a new 2024 AAO MOAV valve on a my Maddog is 16-1/2" in it's entirety..
So I plan on sacrificing the 500cc for a 480cc from "Joe Brancato- TopGun Airguns" (which comes to 10-1/2 and will now lay inside on top of the bed of the Stock... Phew.... had my grey matter spinning on this.... But anyway , thank you for keepin an eye out regardless,.. stay safe and happy shooting

Ever done something stupid? LOL. 1st my Prophet II compact Is set up for 22 caliber, Its been 177, 25 and 30 , Its the one I shoot a lot of, not as much as 177 but its second fiddle,, I shoot pellet holes that is I shoot a pellet then I start shooting the hole, at 49 yards,, Its super accurate.. Two days ago it went bonkers 1 2 and 3 inch groups at 49 yards,,,, Clean barral ,check it over real good , Whats that something about the nut behind the wheel,
On accident I mixed the 15 gr JSB pellets with the 18 gr pellets and with my eyes I could not tell the difference,, DUH, DUH,
I just jumped to conclusion its got to be the regulator can't be nothing else,,
What a dumb mistake,,
Mike

You’re not alone, I just did the same with 22 and 25 grain pellets…

@Gear_Junkie I haven’t seen a schematic for any carbon fiber SCBA tanks or valves. If you have questions about the Omega tanks, I suggest contacting the folks at Airguns of Arizona to attempt to get answers to your question. They’re the main retailer that I’ve seen selling Omega branded products.

Shoot it! My zeus dumped all it's air. I called Bin and he was like "shoot it and let me know". I shot it, and I guess that closed the valve all the way and fixed the issue.

I found similar suggestions for other guns but nothing specifically about the Zeus. So try that if you're dumping air before you freak out like I did lol

Thanks to Bin for always taking the time to help out if I need it.

Thanks all for the replies. I talked to Bin at BinTac and he is sending me out some whatchamacallits which will hopefull fix the leak.

Since that leak in November have you had any more issues with the T9? Very much on the fence about getting one

Yeah, as i thought. A much smaller tube. only 37mm or so. This means that the receiver is totally different. The side lever guns are just a different design.
I did make a really awesome chassis for the standard non-pullpup gun that might fit. I wonder if the bullpup can be converted to a non-bullpup.

Yes it can. I bet with just a little work that chassis could be adapted to a bullpup too.

Vana2 · Aug 26, 2024

Great to hear!

I'm waiting for a .22/600mm in synthetic with plans to make a curly maple stock for it this winter.

Cheers!

graycrait · Aug 26, 2024

Just curious if anyone has done this? Cost, issues, parts availability, tuning challenges?

Glad to hear you figured it out it was the pellets after all.

I left the evidence of my butthurt wailing up. I apologize. But yes. There is not much I hate more than issues with a gun I built, which performed perfect, up until it absolute sh+t the bed. I can sleep now.

Not finished yet. Still have to decide whether I want to take of this rail again and replace with a dove to pic and back to the cantilever mount. The buckrail pp750 ar grip and stock mod, 1913 mount and folding AK74 triangle paratrooper stock and I will call it done.

If you are shooting anything out the window in the city it's best to know how a cop is going to react to it. Sooner or later someone will notice you and call them. Even if it's "legal" it has the potential to be a huge hassle.

Any time you do anything with an airgun assume people will think it's a firearm. The cops are going to arrive assuming that it is. Guys get shot holding a cell phone when cops are expecting trouble. A barrel sticking out a window could easily draw fire.

Is it legal? Maybe. Ask someone who knows the law you can trust.

Is it wise? I guess that's up to each individual to decide based on their situation.

some good points made

actionpistol I have to take back my statement of the moderator being so big, I just measured mine and it is 8" long, whisper quite btw. The 25cal must be attached different than the 22 cal. as mine is a slip fit with a grub screw. I'll never get rid of it because of the accuracy. Did Charlie send you a sheet with different pellet accuracy tests ? he did with mine.
My 22 cal. 2019
My moderator screws off. Not sure of the thread pitch. And yes he did send 2 sheets with targets shot at 40 yards. He also polished barrel, crowned it and aligned and smoothed the ports on it. Great guy to deal with

Thanks. That yields to me thinking how long it would take me to pay that back in shooting and the fact that I am a hunter, I can make a lot of shots before I recognized the savings from making my own slugs. Thanks for your info!

I was the same. But for the cost of a gun you can get the press. And now I can make my own ammo, control quality, fine tune, and have fun...all while not being dependent on someone to have my slugs in stock. I can go to my shop and make up a batch anytime I want or need.

I always feel bad when someone really needs to sell something. When you post it in the classifieds I hope someone gets a fair deal on a great gun and you get what you need to get out of the jam you're in. Good luck with your sale. It is a beautiful rifle.

Exactly.

I am a resident of Washington state, the gun laws here changed recently.
So far the 2028 likes the Crosman hollow points from Wally world just fine shooting offhand. I have a pellet assortment coming soon to further explore it's accuracy. Got it on the Chrono yesterday, hit 825 FPS with the Crosman hollow points, and the spring has a long way to go yet. The cocking effort gets pretty high, that will improve once I polish the bolt, just greased it for now. I think this pistol will hit 900-950 easily, I'll get a new battery for the Chrony and report.

Well amigo I don't know what it is about Texas and hobbies...???

I have been an avid RC Car Racer and Manufacturer since 1984 and I'll be damned if I can figure out why we can Not get more than a few guys together anymore...

I got this from a good friend of mine, as I was wondering about the same thing, be it on another gathering.

Seems accurate to me.

TimeRabbit · Sep 7, 2024

2 or 3 out of 10 are flyers the others are same ragged hole frustrating lot's of potential just can't trust them .

Life is to short for flyers that's why I shot JTS .

Wow sounds like a mid 80s commercial but it is what it is.

Invicta Field Target match August 24th

Great temperatures greeted the nine shooters who made it out to play our game, and it would have been perfect conditions, except for the naughty wind and towards the end the heat mirage.....

Cliff made it back up from Florida JUST to shoot the match.... well almost, and Jim made it out for the second time in a row, I hope we see more of him this season!

Very important note! The next match will be September the 7th, I moved the match as the Pyramyd Cup will be on the following weekend, so make sure you show up on the 7th and not the 14th LOL.

Bill was doing some awesome shooting, was only down two shots half way through the course, and the he got to the off hand lane, which he unfortunately goose egged, after that he dropped another four, but was really cruising there for a while. Brad brought out his MK1 TX200, and shot an amazing 51, but like me got caught by the wind! I didn't aim off enough, or aimed off and it went exactly where I aimed..... that cost me five points, I don't know how many it cost Brad, but each one hurt!

Okay so for this match I thought I might try and make sure my rifle was zeroed with the right pellets for a change, for some reason I had used FX for the last two matches and while they are good and look identical to the JSB, I was getting flyers.... anyway Danny couldn't make the match due to family commitments, and that gave me the chance to get top score for a change!

Everyone had fun, so don't miss out and come out to play!

God Bless

no i have 3 triggers here one in the 1701p grip frame, one a stock 2240 trigger and a roller trigger from Cothran
you will note how the Cothran trigger is a bit straighter and i do believe he has one for the 1701P but you would need to email him
now the frame dictates the trigger shape but you could add 7 to 10 mm of material to make the 1701P trigger straight and or less deep
a mock up of a piece of plastic or wood as a test would be easy and then a piece of aluminum or steel could follow and a person with a 3D printer could make one very easy
