I have this vevor , I wish it didn't time out at 25 minutes. It never gets hot at all but will only run 25 minutes at a time. I was able to fill my scba tank with it over a couple days, 25 minutes at a time. it brings the notos from low to full in under 2 minutes. I did purchase a 3 year warranty just in case.

LOL.....that's....HILARIOUS Kevin!

Here at our house, Cardinals are special.....Not the over paid football players here in Arizona, but the birds. I was always told it is a loved one coming to visit....So every time I see a bright red Cardinal I think of my dad......When the females come around it's my mom.....

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside

There already is a slug challenge at Oregon's Extreme held in Ashland

Good! I hadn't seen mention of it. I would like to see these competitions move from local/regional to national.

Competition pushes every sport forward.

A best case comparison with 22rf and pcp using slugs is with all out BR rifles like the latest iteration Thomas slug and a equivalent 2500x rimfire designed specifically for benchrest.

Maybe by now Mike N's newest Thomas slugs guns are up there in precision with the best 22rf's and lot tested ammo. It's going to be close.

The problem with my 22rf and ammo is the 22rf ammo is not lot tested, my Anschutz isn't a BR rifle, and it's lightweight being designed for Biathlon comps. Plus I can't shoot up to either guns full potential in the wind.

Had a couple 6mmPPC's and even for me .3" wasn't hard at 100Y. IIRC for the top competitors the average group size for a whole match can be in the .1's which is mind boggling.

advice,never force it,you bent the cocking lever ,that should be hard to do.Think before you react.

GX pump E-5K2 review

Just thought I'd post this up in case anyone is looking at these. They are great compressors (especially on value). I bought one to fill a 12L tank and it does so pretty quick, I did it from empty to full in about 3 runs of 45-60 minutes/each. The integrated cooling system got a little warm...

www.airgunnation.com

I think a 12L is pretty close to AL80

Click to expand...

At 3000 psi, a 12L aluminum SCUBA tank holds about 86.5 cu ft of air. At 4500 psi, a 12 L SCBA tank will hold 129.7 cuft.

Just uploaded a new video on my YouTube channel

ARH seal works great. I have it in my 52 and 56. It’s the hard old school type. If you’re looking for the newer blue seal they switched to I have no idea.

GX hand pump on its way let’s give hand pumping another try after 5 years

Click to expand...

I have one.

It's a very well- constructed HP.

About 5 years old now with no repairs yet, just lube.

I once rebuild my reg and had to screw in the reg body pretty tight so that the back of the trigger, where the safety screw is, would not touch it. Hopefully that makes sense, I don’t know if it will help you but take a close look at the back of the trigger group, near the regulator, and check that they are not touching. Good luck

If you have some calipers you can also measure the old ones. O-rings are normally sold by the id and thickness.

More than anything I was wondering if someone figured out the best ones to replace them with. I gotta go to see my hydraulic guy Monday n get them measured n order them. Thanks

One challenge that can make for some laughs is to shoot the paint completely off of a silhouette. 40 meter chicken or 60 meter pig s fun, but 100 meter ram is for the OCD class.

Good point. Will likely bite the bullet and try one. If I do I'll post the results

Sounds good . Definitely looks like a affordable local usa option vs the rowan /trobb .

Great write-up. Like many hobbies it can definitely be a money-pit but this is a good place to read up on stuff and avoid paying lots of unnecessary money on stuff you don't need or won't last long.

Welcome to AGN. IMHO it's the best.
The people here were very helpful to me when I started. The best Zelos review I seen was on Airgun Channel by Nate he is the best. I kinda went backwards as now I want to buy a top end springer after I seen the accuracy of them by looking at Crowskis targets under the ( What Springer did you shoot today) Forum. OV

You were definitly an influence. Whittling down your collection to one rifle ….

10 shooters enjoyed our midsummer match at DIFTA. Temperatures started in the high 60s and climbed to the high 70s by the match end. It was a glorious day to be shooting outside with barely any wind. The only environmental challenges were large swarms of bugs, the density of which noticeably increased on lanes 11 and 12, as well as poor lighting for several lanes due to the full tree canopy. We had no target malfunctions!

The average course difficulty was 29.74, with four 3/8” and two ½” kill zones, and eight targets at > 40 yards. Scores were closely grouped with the top scorers in each division leading the ‘rest of the pack’ by just a few points. Open Division was the best represented, but the match high score of 49/60 went to Greg White who was shooting a new rifle for the first time. Another notable score of 46/90 was shot by Hector Medina in WFTF Piston.


Thanks to Scott Broom for help with setting up the match, to multiple shooters who arrived early and helped run strings, and who stayed behind to take down the course, and as always, many thanks to those who travel long distances to compete and keep our sport alive. Mark Mayer acted as match Director.

The next match at DIFTA will be held on Sunday September 7th

My Scott 45 minute SCBA tank:
Tank thread CGA347 (if same as Scott) ¾-16. Valve outlet for CGA347 probe and nut 7/8-14 TPI.

I bought mine in 2021 and Amazon no longer has the link. It was like this: https://www.amazon.ca/SS-CGA347-Sta...arging+adapter+with+hand+tight,aps,138&sr=8-3

I had an initial leak issue but worked out the solution and used the setup for 1+ years.




Hopefully, that is of some use.

I ordered one from AliExpress which worked well but no longer have the listing. IIRC the "CGA347 connector" is the important factor.

Nice haul! That 760 is a nice find.

Thanks. I have more than a dozen 760 variants, including 3-4 new in the box. I believe this is my first all wood example.

I mostly have PCP air rifles, but am looking to add a decent springer or gasser rifle to the collection. I've noticed that most of the options out there today don't seem to be moderator friendly (have threaded barrels). Why is that?

Click to expand...

Possibly because spring/piston rifles make more noise on the back end than the front end.

I played around with a DFL Tanto on my little Stoeger X20 using a slip on adapter from eBay. I found that it made very little difference to the noise level percieved by me shooting it. My wife, standing about 25 yards away told me that the sound of the rifle shooting seemed slightly duller from her position 90 degrees to the shooting direction.

Also, the set screw slip on adapter quickly walked off the barrel dumping my Tanto in the dirt. Enough of that foolishness.

I keep reading that some of the Gamo Fusion rifles are very quiet, beats me. If Gamo designed the thing from the beginning to have a quiet shooting cycle then maybe they really are.

Cool, I appreciate your offer. My two bottles are different sizes, so I adapated your idea to a universal design that will fit my needs. I left a place to attach bungie cords to hold the bottles to the cradle. I am honestly surprised at the strength of the end product. I am not concerned at all about their durability or suitability .

Thanks for sharing your creations

i degassed my wildcat today to add a reg in place of the brass plug. filled it up seemed to hold air pit ear next to gauge. went back to check on it 4 or 5 hrs. later and 0 pressure. so i gassed it up again. its leaking past the oring on the breech end of the cylinder? didnt touch that. my question is , by degassing does this sometimes happen where orings are compressed and just dont seal again.?
next question……
the parts list shows the oring as a 23mm x 2.5mm. is the 23 inner or outer dia. not sure how fx sizes.
thanks!
