Somehow I missed these guides. Thank you for posting the link. Simply another reason to choose Daystate. I paid almost $200 to ship my RedWolf to AOA for a reseal...

Ouch!

Omega Trail Charger for airguns, not tanks, has worked great for me, at home or away using the car battery, possibly lighter than a bottle too

That i do not know, but when the bunker barge ( floating gas station ) try to screw you over, it is generally for many tonnes of the stuff.
On my first ship the engineer apprentice was supposed to fill a little motor oil on the engine, he put over 1000 liters in it, and it dident mind.

I am not engineer, but they soon figure out i have been around, and so i got to do much of their work.

Of course some times i screw up, like on the Daihatsu AUX engine where i did not secure the fule in / outlet to the injector properly, that cost a load of engine oil as it have been contaminated by fule oil.

Same engine for some reason blew its fule oil pressure gauge now and then, guess who got to clean up the mess that made, damn things do not run on the nice clean diesel we know from out cars, a lot blacker stuff, though it was also not the heavy crude oil you need to keep at a high temperature just to be able to pump the damn stuff around, and if the heating coils in your fule tank blow,,,,, well you are dead in the water soon as you can almost walk on the damn stuff when it is cold.

I had squirrels nesting in my attic and squirrels/chipmunks chewing in my car engine well. They are pests to be eliminated. Starlings are one of 3 birds to be legally killed any time of the year almost in all states.

Back in the late 1970's/early 80's, one of my uncles bought a vacation home on a lake in ohio. First summer he and his wife stayed there his wife fed the squirrels and chipmunks, they were cute and got to the point of eating out of her hand. My uncle tried to stop her. After winterizing the home at end of summer, they had a surprise in spring when they went back to get the house ready for the summer.... It was another year before they got to use the house again. Hungry squirrels without their free food made holes in the home that every 4 legged rodent used to enter the home for the winter. The interior of the house had to be gutted completely down to the studs and bare subfloor(much of which had to be replaced too). Cost him a lot of money, insurance did not cover it all. The next summer his wife said kill them all, buy whatever you need, she never fed any wildlife again in her life, even stopped using bird feeders since they attracted other things.

Very impressive!

Seems like a lot of things are cheaper over there if you can get decent shipping rates.

Sorting pellets sucks. But visual inspection for major issues and damage is the least sucky kind of sorting.

While I go on the hunt to find the pellet each rifle likes best, my favorite rifles are the ones that tend to be the least pellet picky. I got a crosman made 22 that is the equivalent of a tiger shark...eats everything in its path. Some stuff spreads a bit more over distance. Mostly a change in ammo requires a couple clicks of sight adjustment. Been feeding it dirt cheap excite hammers recently. But it will also shoot h&n ftt. Cphp, daisy hp, norma. Rws super hp, really haven't found anything that's a complete no go with it.

Timing was perfect on a pistol. Crosman never made one like that so I’m doing my best this Saturday w a ‘ slightly’ modified Prod. It identifies as a Thomas, so…
.

Generally it's not going to matter much but I can tell you a 35 needs a big moderator volume wise, it's more important than the hole on the end ..

Does DRS = "a la carte" in Swedish?

free airguns for everybody!

Very impressive Trevor! But now you’ve ruined any chance of improvement. Just kidding, great shooting!

I don't know yet, dghal, because when I tried again, the problem seemed to fix itself. I didn't have the advice here yet about opening the bleed valve fast, so I didn't try that.

My guess is that the posters above are right, but the check valve just unstuck itself. I just got lucky. When I run the gun out of air, I am going to remove the fill port and clean it.

Thanks again for the advice, guys!

I Guess you will have to lower the pressure, to get the rifle to shoot slower - and then when its within +/- 100 fps it can correct itself.
I still prefer to have factory programs based on actual tested shooting speed with each Pellet / slugs.

A little DW / AW update:

I shoot the .177 Deltawolf HP version. And was struggling to get speed enough on Zan 16 and Zan 20 slugs.
First I tested what I could achieve with up to 190 bar. Then I installed the Ultra fire valve - but still i did not gain much speed.
Then i figured that it must be mechanical limitations.
I found the pellet probe to be with only a ø3 mm hole in the center and the barrel with a transfer port hole of only ø3.3mm.
The first test I did was to drill up the pellet probe to ø3.5 mm that increased the speed a lot. (About the same increase in speed as going from a 600 mm barrel to a 700 mm)
Then I started to draw a sketch and calculate flow areas.

I came up with the maximum area I can achieve reliable behind the pellet is to convert the pellet frope from pipe type to pin type.
To get a stable solution I cut the pipe away from the original pellet probe and drilled a ø1.5 x 8 mm hole in the end of the pellet prope.
Here i glued in the shaft from a ø1.5 mm drill with ca. glue. I then shortened the drill shaft so a pellet with deep cavity will be pushed to be clear of the increased transfer port hole. So now a flat based slug will be seated a bit deeper than before.

Corresponding with the area i achieve with a pin probe ø4.5 mm barrel area subtracted the area of the ø1.5 pin prope i calculated the transfer port must be ø3.5 wide x 5.3 mm Ablong towards the inlet end.
I started by drilling the transfer port up to a 3.5 mm hole and grinded the hole ablong so its ø3.5 wide x 5.5 mm Ab-long.
Then i grinded the inlet conical so from the outside its about ø 6 mm and conical into the ø3.5 wide x 5.5 mm Ab-long hole at the bottom.
After my changes i spent a couple of hours of polishing the barrel and transfer port hole.

I also repolished the complete barrel so its mirror glaze again.

The use of a tiny 1.5 mm probe is about the optimal you can achieve with a .177 - Normal pellet pin probes might be to fragile with the ø1.5 probe and I guess that is why the OEM make them considerably larger - My Pellet probe on my Red Wolf. .177 HP is I guess somewhat between ø2 and ø2.5 mm so here I will also gain extra power by changing the pin to a ø1.5 mm.
But I have plenty of power in my Redwolf with Heliboard as it is now - so this will be a winter project. I had it shooting the ZAN 20 grain at 1045 fps as it is now standard without and porting and probe alterations.

So with my DW I now gained the power I was searching for - I can now confirm the letters from daystate "HP" is correct.
I am still able to shoot 7-8 fpe pellets in the garden with impressing accuracy.

But due to these changes I had to redo all my factory programs again - since it was shooting too fast for the first shots and it took to many shots for the rifle to find the speed I entered.

I found that the LW Polygon barrel is not shooting the Zan 16 and Zan 20 reliable, even when i test shoot them all the way up to 1000 fps.
The accuracy is great for 3-5 shots and then a flier - Too many fliers which I do not get when I shoot the JSB Knockouts 13.43.
With the JSB Knockouts i get reference accuracy even at 100 and 150 meters.
I guess the heavier slugs needs more twist to stabilize the heavier slugs.

Barrel options DAYSTATE??? = Increased business -
To compare for my FX Crown I just bought liner no. 11 or 12 last week!
That is a lot of easy turnover for a rifle manufacture ----. Daystate !!! Hello are you stuck at 12 fpe "knock" "knock" !!!

Still I gained advantages:
Now my standard reg setting is reduced from 170 bar to 148 bar - shooting the same speeds with less noise from the hammer.
This also means that I can get a lot more shots per filling.
I do not have to reduce the pressure, if I shoot in the garden with 10 gr. pellets at 500-700 fps and accuracy is superb.........

Best regards

Claus from Denmark

Does anyone know how big the pourus casting issue was on the very early guns? Was it a lot of them, a few???

I tried to post a rifle there the other day and it got deleted twice! I sent an email asking why and no reply.
I've made quite a few purchases there over the years

Invicta May match report

We had seven shooters come out to play, the temperature was wonderful, a truly beautiful spring morning, the wind less so, but all that came out had fun, everyone was chatting so much I totally forgot to start the shooters meeting, that started 30 minutes late!

Harold came out again for some more fun, and Ray came out to get the dust off his rifle, Brent has been missing due to life getting in the way, three of our regulars had prior commitments, look forward to shooting with them soon!

I had a good day, managed top score for the day, but everyone won that made it out to the shoot, it was a truly classic field target day, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, so if you haven't made it out recently, do yourself a favor, come out and rediscover the joy of field target!

So I set up the match schedule this year, and made the rookie mistake of setting the next one for Memorial weekend, oops, is all I can say, I guess I will simply cancel that as so many have plans for their three day weekend, so the next match will be June 8th, hope to see you there!

God Bless

You could remove 2 pins in side of mod and then remove the nut that holds top rail on. After that you can screw on the QE shroud assembly. Fairly easy and I like the looks better. These are .22 and .25 and waiting on a .177 to do same.

This guy has what you need, and his price is better from his website than what he sells on eBy.

Wish that the sizes were on their site...
