I dont think they even tried to do that back then, far more pressing things on their hands i would assume.

Once the entire country of Denmark was pawned to some German Barons,,,,,,, we had bad rulers long before we became a constitutional monarchy.
Norway and Sweden also use to be Denmark,,,,, we lost those too.

This year, I'm switching from 130gr to 145gr HP after some testing. By the fifth shot, I achieved the accuracy and maximum power for the 145gr HP at 3500 psi. From 75 meters, it bent a firearm-rated spinner with 4 shots on a 4-inch target, and the last picture shows 2 shots at 120 meters. ( tethered) AEA 357 BIG BORE.

My question is how to degass the AEA Challenger with Regulator. Does the plenum degass when i degass the pressure tube?

Never tried a night / digital scope, but i am pretty sure i would prefer a round screen to look at.

I have the ds35-70 day night scope with the lazer range finder and ballistics. The pics and videos come out normal but it does have the round display. It awesome! Here is a couple 150yd shots out of my .25 panther hunter at night with a 500mm .22 barrel and 30gr slugs I made with my corbin equipment. They hit within a inch or so.

If it has full pressure the bottle will be difficult to unscrew. Since you are replacing the gauge just unscrew it a bit until you hear it releasing air. Watch the gauge - once it get's down below reg pressure (about 145 BAR) the bottle will be much easier to unscrew.

Are you going to be able to put DW's chicken out to 610 yards ?
I am afraid he might not see it as a challenge otherwise , plus it gives the rest of us a fighting chance !

Yes, I'm going to do exacgtly that. But to give the rest of us a chance, the penny-sized chicken at 610 yards will only be in view over the horizon by shooters at least five-feet tall.

Suffice to say your bribe was well spent, JM! You're welcome, Bud.

Yeah awesome.

I need to finish watching it but one thing that stood out is that it actually has a legitimate safety. I wonder how difficult this is to engineer? it seems pretty simple and I'm surprised it's not more common given the power of some of these things. My gk 1 makes me a little nervous since it does not need to be cocked before firing and the trigger is so sensitive. I don't have any sense for how possible it is that it would fire if bumped or dropped.

Septic Death thanks for leads, I have determined it is a 1930 - 1935. Based on BB articles.
Rifle has post-1930 receiver tang but a pre-1935 longer barrel straps instead of a short strap with 2 spot welds. Shoots strong, it was part of a group buy not an intentional purchase. This is a fun BB gun. It is a definite keeper.

I didn't know they sell on Amazon. I don't buy from them often but I would look at their website and then communicate through ebay. I had better success communicating that way.

I didn't even think to take before and after pictures, but I did get a Marksman 0035 apart and resealed thanks to your help. My best friend's daughter is going to enjoy shooting it. Thank you.

Honestly, I really doubt there are more than a few dozen people out there that are going to mount a thermal optic on a springer. The airgunners with enough money and the inclination to get thermal sights are going to be almost exclusively using them on PCP's. If you can make a product that's strong enough to handle the double recoil of a magnum springer then that would be a good selling point, but I doubt it's actually necessary.

A Diana 54, Gamo Magnum or Hatsan 135 would all be good testbeds for your product. If it can withstand the recoil of any of those three then other spring guns should be no problem.

As far as PCP's are concerned their recoil is similar to that of firearms of similar energy and since airguns in general are less powerful the recoil is also generally less.

Don’t try persuade them not to make one for us springer fans. I’m sure there are plenty who would love to have one.

Tilt it back some and chamber pel with the bolt probe. Works for me and my hands are getting worse by the day.

If you have been lurking on this forum long enough it could be you. Depending on where you need to send it shipping a full rifle may be about the price of some stones and moly paste. If the rifle shoots well but seems rough it could be a fun project for the two of you. Tuning an HW30 is more about a nicer shot cycle unless the seals are shot. If it smokes a little you may just want to try tightening up the breech seal.

This^^^^ Looks like you live in Massachusetts, so John in PA is close to you and does outstanding work if you want someone to do it for you. Here's his contact info, give him a call and see what he says:
John Thomas aka John in PA, phone number (717) 873-5128

While I've never had him work on a rifle for me, Rick Willnecker at Precision Pellet is also very highly spoken of on the forums. Vortek dealer and installer and also lives near you in PA. His contact info:
Rick Willnecker at Precison Pellet, phone number (717) 382-1481

Like IanC said above, the tuner could also be you. The HW30 isn't a hard rifle to get apart and work on. A spring kit and piston seal from Vortek and spend an afternoon with your dad. Also plenty of members here that will happily answer any questions you might have along the way.

I can get my Maverick ( 700 mm ) up to the speeds i like with a mere 60 - 70 Bar, but for some reason it shoot better with a 80 - 90 Bar pressure.
And trust me i have tried jumping thru all kinds of hoops to try and make the rifle perform at the lower pressures, but i just can not make it perform as well.

I tend to start with a low pressure and low hammer, and then increase hammer, and if that do not work i give it a little bit more pressure back the hammer all the way back and start all over.

I tend to jump pressure in 10 Bar segments, but i might get lower than that now i have a digital gauge for my regulated pressure.

My mav and wildcat BT neither work that way well. Whatever reg pressure I run if I tune the gun right up to nearly the max velocity it will produce with that reg pressure they shoot awesome. Extreme spread of 10 or less. Once I start to tune down from that spot the ES goes up to 20 fps rather quickly. Guess I get a little picky about ES maybe.
