"My mistake is that I trusted Accu-Tac who recommended Area419 to me". Sounding more like blame deflection all the time.

Having been a businessman over four decades, I'll speculate the standard 20% restocking fee isn't enough to motivate the sellers to continue wasting their time ("is money") to overcome obstacles preventing them from issuing a refund. A combative attitude likely also isn't motivating them.

It looks like they effectively addressed the major obstacle to folks getting into PCPs; that being the peripheral costs of actually being able to pressurize the gun. I'm interested in seeing if using plastic, plastic, and more plastic, and replacing the PCP charging-equipment expense hurdle with disposable nitrogen cartridges that add thirty-plus cents PER SHOT proves a viable or marketable approach.

If asked for my opinion, I might say "I doubt it." However, that speculated, I often underestimate Modern Man's aesthetics, common-sense, and forethought deficits.

I foresee situations where, after a few $12.50 cartridges spent attempting to repair a leaker the gunsmith realizes it cheaper to buy a new rifle than repair it. Hence the $12.50 disposable-cartridge power-source renders the rifle itself disposable if/when it springs a leak. But hey, it's not like airguns display any propensities whatsoever to spring a leak at any time, for any reason, or no reason; usually at the worst possible moment. Right?

All that said, and being a huge fan of ($00.50) disposable-cartridge Co2 guns, was the new Umarex wood-stocked, devoid of plastic, and $50 more expensive, I might buy it.

That's great, unbiased insight.

I have the reg set at 150 bar. I cant remember what the macro and micro are set at. I am at work and didnt bring it with me today so I can check when I get home if you want that info. With the reg set at 150 bar I hit the plateau at 1045 fps.

Close enough thanks, I've got a Maverick and not fond of pushing it that hard.

Pyramid Air. Great packing, never damaged. I bought pellets twice at other shops, never again. Buy 3 get 1 free. Spend 150.00, free shipping. Works for me.

I use napier power pellet lube, I don

I use Napier power pellet lube on all my ammo, I dont know if that will help but I believe it keeps my barrels cleaner longer.

Keeping the bore as consistent as possible is the name of the game. One of the ways you’ll know if your lube isn’t right is if you have to shoot some shots through your gun before it starts grouping good again. This has happened with several lubes I’ve tested.

Smith and Wesson 78G and 79G.

3-4 bar drop till it is off the reg as well. If it sits over night, the pressure goes back to set pressure. I was thinking of putting softer spring to help get back to pressure

Finally got a response from HUMA. They say the 3 bar swing is normal with the small piston design and if you have it turned correctly, it won't effect the fps. There was no mention of changing out the springs to eliminate this.

Did some leg work with mine today. Didn't shoot for groups as it's intermittently windy then dead calm. Also bear in mind that this rifle isn't broken/settled in yet, even with todays shots I still don't have 250 total shots through it as I was waiting on these plenum additions. There are two FX slug groups as I spaced adjusting the parallax for the closer target and chrono work. Came set from dealer at 125 BAR reg pressure. Rifle is 25 cal Performance model.
I don't really expect to see too much of a change until I go up on reg pressure, do get more shots per fill now obviously.

I have other NSA slugs of this type on hand but have yet to figure out where I put them. Also have Corbin swage die to duplicate these in any weight I want but it took over 18 months (20 I think) to get them so had everything put away when the dies finally arrived and don't know when I will get around to setting that up and seeing how it works out.
The slugs need more speed, but had I been set up for groups it looks like everything, but the FX would have been one-hole groups minus the odd flier with the NSA.
Also looks like the more I shot the more the reg and pressures settled and as I said earlier it isn't broke in yet.

I'm not sure how it's attached. The barrel weights 7 pounds.

Thats mind blowing to me lol the barrel alone weighs more than my Evol Mini. I believe I saw they are just slid in and held with a set screw or 2?

WIdeerhunter90 said:

My understanding is the heavy hammer spring is main cause of those screws stripping out. I have the AAO kit for my .510 LSS but don’t plan on installing until I have another Texan.

Nah I've seen it do it on a stock gun I ended up deciding to buy a .357 extreme big bore

Welcome from the state of Misery. Around KC. Be Well Brother, Bandito.

125 Yards..Wind.. Getting fps spreads high? I'm tethered regulated at 3000 psi..I'm going to try sizing some twice. From.223 to.222 and then in.221 bushings..

The copper coated "power" 177 pellets shoot pretty well from my P35-177. My Prod absolutely LOVES the copper coated H&N FTTs in 22. It does not like unplated FTTs but shoots Crosmans pretty well. It's odd how guns have such strong preferences.

Want one of these? They work awesome. I have two so this one goes. I love these battery compressors. No need for tanks to fill your gun. Tanks not so good anyway if your filling 4000PSI as many guns now do. Easy portability. Battery lasts through many top offs. Use your Makita 18V batteries if you want. You can use other 18V batteries if you buy a 10 dollar adapter. You can even buy a plug-in power supply if you prefer that at home. Asking 260.00 shipped to CONUS PP/FF preferred. Call/text Ron 714-296-4789.

Been a while but I ended up with a Taipan Vet .22 Long paired with an Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2 2-12x42 optic. Fits perfect in the Pelican V730. Maybe a bit heavy but is just a fantastic and solid air rifle. Only fired out to around 10-15yds but have been able to get nickle-ish sized groups standing. Need to get it somewhere to test out to 30yds+ benched.

very nice! congratulations on your new gun. Those are known tack drivers.

my max .357 is now leaking from the fill port & wont hold any air. i thought i once saw how to fix this but cannot locate it now. can any one help?

Click to expand...

So I fixed it it was indeed that's true inside the tank that needed to be adjusted but I backed it all the way out and it was corroded with I don't know like oxidized it wasn't quite rusted but it had a lot of buildup on it so I took it each part of it apart there was a screw a little pin thing and a spring and I took a wire wheel with adrenaline took off all the buildup on it and the O-ring was that was supposed to be on the pin thing it was totally missing and I bought so many O ring kits from various different places and the only one that I could find that would fit that would work is the ones you get for if you play darts the ones that go in between like the shaft and the barrel to keep them from unscrewing was the only o-ring that I can find it would work and then I got some silicone grease and replace the two O-rings on the part that goes into the gun that has the the screw in it and I replace that little tiny holding on it with silicone grease put it all back together and it held it's holding air and everything's back and working order

Larger head size would increase friction so there would be a corresponding drop in velocity (my guess). Perhaps the larger head size creates a little more spin on the pellet due to it sitting tighter in the lands and groves and you get the POI change?

I remember taking my buddy's rifle out for a spin once. It was like a laser beam, hitting targets dead-on even when the conditions weren't ideal. Nothing beats that feeling of nailing the sight-in shot, especially in the rain.

it is interesting to me that the first thing that should be done before posting on a forum is take the stock off and take a look

but i see it all the time but it great to see that the problem is taken care of

Gotta love the unexpected gems.
