Water is not the only thing bad for our guns, the 21% oxygen is also a detriment and C02 is no friend that oxygen along with some heat loves to deto0nate.
I f you have access to Nitrogen (it's everywhere) cheaply get it feed it to your compressor and never have trouble from your "AIR"

@Demphna2, your groups are sweet and showcase nicely how accurate BRKs are in general. The repeatable accuracy never gets old and inspires confidence afield… Am definitely going to borrow your playing cards as targets idea…

So I can push them in snug with my finger, the pad of skin can barely depress it past flush, and they stay snug.
sometimes if i am trying to sight it in or something, I have a 2mm seating tool I make, and I will press them in with that, they are a little more snug...

@wimpanzee That sounds about like what I'm experiencing, but I don't feel them catch when I push. Thanks for the info. It helps.

I've been wondering the same thing. Perhaps a soft case with a shoulder strap? There's actually an old thread on this topic in the forums here:

I'm kinda the Notos conversion guy with over 200 conversions. I have some OEM parts, many o-rings and mod parts in stock. You can find a BUNCH of info on the Notos here, many have created parts and designed "things" that we cannot speak of but help to reduce sound pressure measured in dB along with mounts, furniture, full pistol conversions, even 700mm FX barrel conversions shooting 14.39gr pellets at 1050fps!

hi firewalker, i did send the gun back for a replacement and would like to take you up on a replacement pack of seals for the notos is you have them available.
i cant pm you on account i dont have the post count and time needed on the forum to do so.
also im wondering what your backlog on conversion work is like because i think id like to trick this rifle out at some point.
ill try and do some posts on here so i can get pms.
thanks

Which of them do you think you would like the best if both your Texan and the Challenger were in 357? The Texan or the Challenger.

I have two gamo urbans, one the barrel band is holding the barrel downward under great pressure. This one seems to be better with the band, it brings the barrel more in line with the block / scope mounting so that I didnt have to crank a bunch of turns on the scope or try to shim the scope a ton. Sort of working like a tensioned barrel. I think the bands arent very good on the urban, unless they are under a lot of tension - they can hold the barrel off kilter if it does get bumped pretty strongly, seen this before when the non tensioned one gets tipped over. I do have to be careful not to bump that barrel, so I think it might be better without the band.

First gens are like the enterprise … they boldly went where no one had gone before ….: lol

Not my experience at all testing the new 711 mm / 28" slug barrel in BRK Ghost .177 HP and Daystate Delta Wolf .177 HP

Soon I will be testing in a Daystate Red Wolf .177 HP setup as well

I’ve heard nothing but good things about the RedWolf in .177good luck mate

You may want to check these guys, they make wonderful stocks for a couple of brands, including Diana: https://craftsmanvit.com/

Portable compressor that fills my guns from my trucks battery.

Any long range shots, comes out my PB carbines.

Welcome

The optic industry has been forced to remove some toxic transition metals from the glass recipe. The upshot is that the older Japanese built scopes frequently have surprisingly good glass. I've got high end optics and some older Tasco and Bushnell scopes that are remarkably competitive.

As others have said, 20X and more is going to want a larger objective. And the Hubbles, they do weigh...

I have an older Tasco TS target scope, 6-24X and it is as clear as any scope I have ever owned. I haven't looked through it for a while, but it may have some CA or pincushion, but it's a great scope and has held up over....I dunno.....30 years!

Brand new or did the reg get broke in yet mine seems to be fine

Click to expand...

Mine was brand new, I think I posted in this topic somewhere but it was creeping around 8 bar. I could hear that the hammer was too weak for the first shot. Took the regulator out and it was so dirty.

Here's an unboxing Video that AirGun Angie just did on the .25 Caliber Stoeger XM1 Ranger (5 year warranty!)

A full review will be posted in a day or so.

The target is in my backyard at 50 yards with 5.52 H&N Baracuda Match. 10 shots, full magazine and look at that chronograph output with ZERO standard deviation on my .22 Ranger using the same, H&N Baracuda Match 5.52 pellet, unsorted. I couldn't believe my own eyes! Regulator was/is 150 bar. VERY small adjustments to hammer spring from factory setting, to get best tune.

Also shoots 22 grain Hybrid and .30.5 grain FX dish based slugs very well.

Interesting though, in testing I tried 25.39g JSB pellets and then 25.39g JSB REDESIGNED pellets, although same weight, the REDESIGNED got me 20 more fps and increased fpe as well. Same weight! Why was that? I'll ask JSB

Point of clarification, this is a male quick-connect nozzle. Would this be a 1/8 BSP?

Incredible results! congratulations

Here's the target box I made that you can have for free

@klentz thanks for the offer. This is my target stand. It's a data center equipment rack that I cut down to 18 inches and put 2x4s up as posts to eliminate ricochet.

x2 1/2" pieces of plywood behind the cardboard.

I have looked on his web site I didn't see anything that will work unless I missed it

I honestly love the designs evanix comes up with. The Rex p and viper are some of the most aesthetically pleasing guns I’ve seen in the airgun world. If the viper had the power of the gk1 I would have definitely opted for the viper. I wish huben made big bores. If they made a gk1 in 30 cal I would be all over it. Also if the Rex p got more shots per fill I would have bought it.

Congratulations! Beautiful guns

Thanks so far for all the instructions and information. I had no idea what slugging it meant. Now I have several things to check to see if I can understand what the mechanics of the resizer are. It is sold as a .25 6.35 sizer so I need to get a micrometer to start checking some of the pellets. then put some partway in the barrel and see if they show rifling marks. I always seem to believe that the skirt was going to be a little tight in the barrel to make a good seal, now it seems the skirt is flexible enough that the air pressure forces it to seal. I hope I understand all so far. I will try to put into practice tomorrow. I have some more pellets coming that I can get better measurments on before and after resizing.
