Awesome! If I weren't on call at the hospital, I'd come play!

It's still holding up good, I've shot at least a couple of tins thru it since then. The stuff I used isn't ideal and I coated it with a clear matte spray to protect it. I already had the stuff so I used it.
I would think anodizing would hold up really well, or powder coat. Time will tell how this holds up, but I do like it way better than bare aluminum.

Happy to hear!

I have a first gen as well bought used from Utah AG. No degassing tool with it. No help from AirMaks when requested either. A manual is indeed available online but does no friggin good when the special tool is not available. Called Utah about it and the guy suggested shooting it down and finish degassing by loosening the gauge. I will try this soon as the reg needs the weevil mod.

Ask Terry Tate on FB messenger. Once, he told me that it is a "Boyds Bold" installed in the PBBA Pro 20. I know, it doesn't make sense to me either.

What kind of power are you seeing?

Hey yeah, I am doing a ton of research and trying to get a little bit of a hold on things. I guess I just need to decide and jump in to get my feet wet.

Nothing wrong with doing your research, to determine what is best for you!
Overall length of a particular rifle is especially useful to understand, and often over looked.
Good luck!

The buffalo is 16 inches long and will be joining the herd at Sagebrush Field Target on the 13th. If you look to the right, you will see a TIE Fighter. The fighter will be a target is the Ailean Attack stage.

.177 I’ll use it for 25/50 meter Bench Rest

You don’t “tune” the GK1.
You can turn the power either up or down.
Simple as that.

Click to expand...

I suppose some might consider 'tune' a relative term. I disagree.

Yes, you increase and decrease the power on GK-1s with a SIMPLE turn of an Allen screw. However, more than minor power adjustments affect, and are affected by, charge-pressure; which "in turn" affect the resultant bell-curve, power-band, and shot count. So if One doesn't care about bell-curve, power-band, and shot count, One indeed doesn't "tune" One's GK-1. Rather, one simply turns the power screw.

However, should One be interested in enjoying the best shot-count per any given charge-pressure within One's acceptable bell-curve (extreme velocity spread), One TUNES the gun for that (shot-count within One's acceptable bell-curve) by adjusting power, TESTING, re-adjusting, and testing again, until One finds One's power-level/charge-pressure/bell-curve/shot-count performance SWEET-SPOT.

In other words, as in tuning many/most machines for maximum performance, including other PCPs, through TUNING.

I have several decisions to make. I would like to purchase a new FX Wildcat compact m3, my question is should I get the BT or tube gun, and also am trying to decide whether to swap barrels on my Impact from .22 to a .25 and get the wildcat in .22 0r get the wildcat in .25. Either way I would like to end up with both a .22 and .25. I am leaning to the wildcat tube gun in .22. Any thoughts ?

Click to expand...

I love the tube guns... Wildcat & Dreamline. Shot count is not a big deal for me, especially if you're leaning toward a hunting gun. How many shots do you need on your average hunt? Refilling at the range is a non issue. I'd rather have the less bulky gun.

Looking for parts if anyone has one of these yaying around collecting dust in the scrap pile. So far compressor has worked good but lately the vent valve is leaking its needing excessive force to build pressure. I've had to put a pliers on to tighten enough to fill gun I'm just looking for the complete valve assembly ttlhank you

1.5ms lock times are pretty common its seems with electronic / solenoid driven hammers.

It would be possible to get below 1ms if I thought there were any significant benefits. Higher voltage and shorter stroke.

That bag is nice I was thinking about getting a saber tactical bag but this might change my mind

Water is flowing normally and always has into the top of the reservoir. I topped off with DI water, ran it for a few seconds, dumped the water and repeated a few times until the water ran clear. So, I don't think water flow is the issue and the pump is probably bad.

Never turned the grease pot, but I did pull the pot off the unit when new. It was half full with grease. Not depth wise, but like it had been shipped on its side for most of the trip so the cylinder was half full like a semi-circle (if that makes any sense). Email already sent to GX pumps. I'll report back what they say.

Click to expand...

Flushing the water several times is good. I probably pumped more than a gallon thru mine before it ran clear. Regardless of how well it was flowing after you flushed it, I'd verify water flow every time I turned it on (hence my adding LEDs to make it easy to see).

Take your grease pot out, turn the knob until the grease is level, then back it off 2-3 turns and reinstall it. This will prevent you from just pushing air into the cylinder when you turn the knob one time at around 6-10 hours from now. (As you can see from my thread, I had the same issue with a huge air pocket in my grease pot too. Many do.)

The AC.... I am storing my guns down in the basement between sessions, there is my mans cave.
From door to door distance is about 15 minutes and my gun cases are well padded with closed foam layers, this a good thermal protection as well.
I remember now when I was setting up the gun at the bench the parts and bits pieces were cold on touch.
I didn't even season my scope just started shooting and minutes later when the rain started sipping a lot of humid not much air to bread neither, probably well above 95%.

Yes! We started as a Schutzenverein in 1864. Bringing back the old discipline but for Airguns! Luftgewehr Schutzen. We also shoot PCP’s to 50 and 100. The permanent steps were removed from the 100yd. I made some to be “portable” between the 25,50 and 100yd ranges. Works well! We are also holding a traditional Schutzenfest in October too, with a Konig bird, clay star shoot etc.

well, some Tite bond or Gorilla glue would have done the job but

Click to expand...

Neither would be a proper fix. Those are both what I would use to send it down the road for someone else to deal with later!

Devcon, is way better than those glues if I just wanted to glue it together.

I don't work that way. There are bandaid, and there are CURES.

Bandaids are quick fixes that leave a rifle less reliable than new.

Cures make the repair better and more reliable than new. Also it will be stronger than the original stock, and as light or possibly an oz lighter? But definitely stronger.

By making the fix with a cure, I can sell it later if I wish and know the buyer has a trouble free platform they can rely on.

Lastly,,, no,,, it's not for sale. This is way to nice of a rifle for me to part with. So either way keeping or selling, I'll have the piece of mind knowing I didn't cheap out, and did the repair responsibly, and correct for any choice I make to sell in the future.

Absolutely, positively MAGNIFICENT!

Anybody has a pellet mold with head size 5.57 and 5.59 skirt ? Where can i buy it?

Is this company no longer in business? The gentleman made amazingly durabke FX impact mags with perfect tolerances and tension for shooting slugs.

That area that you circled shows two digital readouts. When activated, shows battery voltage and adjustable capacitor charge voltage. My long range builds have electronic trigger/hammer systems.

Thanks buddy...I have the Behemouth, but want to add the reflex. I appreciate your comment.
