There was a thread about this before.
Most of that on Ali is fake or bogus ads.

GX Shut down a number of them a few months back. "If" you even got a compressor from them and it needs work, GX would never honor that compressor or support any warranty on it.

If you search the past posts you will see it was a Mess. I got a Bad one, and I was chastised for Mentioning it. About 8 Pages worth If I remember right. It came, was leaking, so I sent it back. Good luck on your choices.

A bit more stability than you need is better than a bit less. Apart from diameter, weight and length of the slug, the nose and base shapes need to be considered. So, the diameter, weight and length are not enough info to calculate bullet stability, strictly speaking. The relative position between the center of gravity and center of dynamic air pressure is what matters, and these are also affected by shape. And by, if there is a hollow point or not. And the diameter, depth and shape of such a cavity. Ditto, for hollow base projectiles.

If you were talking about waisted pellets, they are already aerodynamically stable and need very little spin. Spin for pellets is mainly to null out the effect of imperfections in shape and the placement of the CG relative to the primary axis. More spin helps pellet stability as it emerges from the muzzle, and is kicked by the air blast from behind. Air blast is something that can be mitigated for pellets via an effective air stripper. Overspinning pellets tends to make them spiral at longer ranges; which seems like a contradiction regarding stability.

Barrel twist requirements for a bullet peaks at a muzzle velocity right at the speed of sound. You are well above a stability factor of 1.5 at 900 FPS, so if your bullets shoot well out of your Texan, I would not worry about anything. Shooting PCPs at 1150+ FPS is silly for many reasons, that include excess air consumption and noise. So, simply don't go over 1050 FPS and you should be fine. If you want more power, shoot heavier slugs. Ones that still go fast enough to give you a flat enough trajectory for your range and mission.

This looks way better than goofy clip on mounts. Bases are a hacksaw and file job. Cut to length and simply filed a radius on the bottom to match the receiver. I made the front base work with the barrel screw. The rear mount is epoxied on and what does that hurt? It comes off easily with solvent. I think those chinsy rings came with the Bushnell Sportview scope. It’s been on there over 30 years.
Guns should look cool, right?

And that is the cleanest install of optics on a 160 that I have ever seen.
Well done sir!

Nice write up on your awesome Brococks Luis! Nice pics, that is one big ghog your Ghost, well, ghosted! Oh...and I do remember that movie...old guy here.... I used to workout with Lawrence McCutchen, Jackie Slater @ the JC I used to attend, it has a fantastic gym!

I know they make some for rimfires that might work. There are some for CZs that could work but they are all like $75+

I have just ordered a degassing tool from PA. Got plenty others to try so big hurry, and thanks to all! Charles

Really are the best! Great work Doug!

I know the Miami Airgun Alley guy promotes them a lot, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Just look at all the guntubers shilling for SDI.

hypothetically speaking.. if i could get someone to make wooden stock for the notos. i need a show of hands of who would be willing to buy them.
i dont know CAD so if anyone can make a file, i know someone who might just take on the job of helping us make the notos prettier.

Well. If you have the goods to a cnc , lets talk chassis. Id buy any ORYX , MTD , FX style chassis for my notos . Talking about a butt stock to the barrel shroud 1 pirce with mloc and picatinny slots.

Oh yeah , dont get me started . Hahaha

Jetpopt: I agree on the P3 tigger being a spoiler I have four airguns and three powder burners one of the powder burners with a custom trigger, and the P3 is the best out of all them! I bought the P3 from AOA 20 years ago so it has the older front sights on, meaning they are not FO.

Had the Cobra out today for a bit. Neighbor had a skunk spray his dogs so I went out on "skunk patrol" but no joy . I did smell the thing but could not locate the source. Maybe tomorrow.

Like most shipping I think it’s mostly by weight. You can add pellets and see the change. I haven’t figured out the limits as I normally order up to the first shipping price change, which comes to about $140 worth of pellets and slugs plus shipping which has been $54 to me.

My capt that is profound. A 13.73 on target... Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

Assuming you’re using the Tuxing, can you tell me how long youve used it and a little about why you like it? Seems easier to get than the Yong Heng so i may go that direction.

Click to expand...

I can tell you that unless you are a machinist or engineer don't get the Tuxing. I'm both, all the problems were repairable. Right now my choice would be the CS4. It's still running. The TXEDT032 I've had to rebuild and repair several times. The tuxing people are useless. I purchased replacement heads on Amazon from Tuxing official store twice and got different parts each time. Not actual high pressure heads like ordered but ended up with 1 complete Yong Heng cylinder assembly and 1 just the head. They tried to tell me it's the new design (lie) runs hot and doesn't have the right number of piston rings compared to authentic tuxing. Got tired of dealing with them and ordered a second compressor as a parts manual and to confirm design change. Guess what it came with the exact same parts I have on mine. Arrived with a broken gauge packed so well that eggs would have made it to my office (they installed a bad gauge and sent it anyway). I really liked the Tuxing little box compressors but they have lost control of their manufacturing. I would not buy anything from them. Both sets of heads going back and the compressor. I'm remachining my original head to fix the check valve in the high pressure head. While I had the Yong Heng assembly I had a chance to look at it. The Yong Heng high pressure check valves are much better but the high pressure cylinder does not have enough cooling channels (likely why it ran hot when installed on the Tuxing and why people say they run hot).

If you want service buy the CX4 either from the official store or the Omega version from AOA (that's what I have, 250w not 350 from GX, works great). They are 4 stage rather than 2 stage of the Tuxing double cylinder. The Tuxing double cylinder is basically Yong Heng 2 stages separated into 2 cylinders.

Best of luck on the compressor purchase. My most reliable compressor so far has been the Altaros Booster (had 2), they are just slow and require an air compressor.

The general way to do it is as I explained above. I have Proton VPN on both my PC and iPhone and that is what I use to get an IP address for each device outside the USA. When you setup the VPN, select an English speaking country or your browser will think it needs to change the language!

It was a tough day trying to get the Hikmicro Sight app. I got the Proton vpn and set the UK as country.
Apple would not change country until 2 apps that have about a month of use left, can’t cancel today.
Thats what it says now anyway and if anything I’ve learned you ain’t getting an app unless they say so.

Thank you. Have you found that cooler or cold air has much effect on trajectory

i never weighted it but sounds about right. the moderator i built adds a little more weight but makes it a 24fpe 14.3gr smacker that’s quieter than my crosman 1322 fitted with the buckrail moderator.

@Firewalker cant wait to see what that .25 barrel swap does for you! younger brother zelos might get jealous.

Mine does the exact same . Straight after building. My hotsnot3dprints bottle band holds everything nicely .

Maybe keep your reports on your new Gauntlet SL coming? I heard Rick Eutsler speak about this revised model very enthusiastically when he first tested one, saying something like "they did a whole lot more to this gun than just adding a side lever." It sounded like the revisions to the SL model were quite positive in the overall performance & capabilities of the gun.

My tank is an expired fireman's tank, a Scott. It has no visible damage to the carbon fiber and I use it with confidence. I am very convinced that it will leak if it ever fails. I see zero risk it will explode.

If I ever have a fire in my home I will have lots more to worry about of more significance than my air tank. I have a propane line in the crawl space made of soft copper. If it gets damaged the fire would get a lot worse. I have a car with a gas tank, a generator with it's small tank, and a pressure washer with a tank in the garage. That gasoline would really feed a fire and soft "rubber" gas lines would not take much heat to let loose. My house is wood framed so it will burn and the furnishings have lots of synthetic material in them which will give off dangerous fumes. My only reasonable course of action will be to get out, call the fire department, and hope that insurance takes care of at least most of the loss. Stated another way, I'd rather have an air tank let loose than a gas tank or propane line.

Very good points. If a fire gets so bad as to heat a tank fast enough so that the burst disk won't work you have bigger problems and should be far away long before that happens.

I presently have a FX Sniper MkIII 2022 model, and I love it but its
a little long and heavy for squirrel hunting. Thinking of buying the new wildcat BT. My dealer of many years retired and closed shop. Any suggestions on where to buy a new rifle and get support to go along with it?

Thank you.

I have bought from Ken Hicks at (SPAW) who BTW advertises on here. He ships fast and threw in a couple goodies like QD foster along with the factory one. The gun runs flawless. Great choice BTW. I'm waiting on the same gun but tube version in .22 compact
