I have the hammer spring turned is as far as I can gets about 800 fps with 29 grain pellets. I have to do some more tuning because I just purchased a chronograph and still learning it. But I have took a full grown groundhog with it with 1 shot at 30 yards to the dome dropped dead.

And I also just got a heavy hammer spring off eBay but it feels so hard to cock the gun with it almost feels like something will break. Gotta play with it a little.

If I understand correctly (and I may not) when you turn it in all the way and then back off around a quarter to half turn it should perform a little better?
I am sure someone with more knowledge will chime in and correct me helping you and I both.
Next thing you will be doing is taking a dremel to the transfer port hole

...I have not done anything to mine but am considering exploring the possibilities a bit more.
I really want to get another .25 like a AEA challenger pro that pumps out around 80 fpe stock.
I also have an Avenger in .25 with buck rail full tac mods and the Avenger does about the same in fpe as the Airacuda...but I saw a post from a guy on here who modded his up to 115fpe!

I guess I’m in a little different boat with my build. I have a custom barrel built with a permanly bonded FX liner. Shoot 20.2 gr nsa at 930 fps.

If I read the wind righf, 120-130y plinking is a ton of fun

On my tune, I also shoot the NSA 20.2gr @ 930fps-ish but with the stock LW non choked poly very accurately

. Those FX liners can be special for slugs!

Hello everyone!

I just bought my first PCP, a Diana Storm Rider in .22.

I would like to add an Altaros regulator but am at a loss as to which foot pound level I should order.

I am looking to get a good consistency of shots, in the 800 ft per second range with an average pellet weight. I will mainly be plinking in the backyard.

On their website, Altaros has options from 5.5 foot pounds all the way up to 44 plus. I live in the US and do not have any regulations on power levels.

Any suggestions on what I should order based on my user requirement?

Thanks so much in advance, I am really enjoying this new sport and this wonderful forum.

Perfect timing this pops up again!

Got my yearly measurements/calibration done - with new designs, new circuits, and new software.
Absolutely bonkers accuracy & really happy with the results!
Physical dimensions of the sampled units were within 0.01mm (uncertainty of 0.003)... I still dont get why people dont like 3D printing

Now for the data....
3 Units each received 300 sample shots (electronically triggered) all at 1,000fps

Unit1:
Spread: 0.11fps

Difference from actual ~1,000fps measurement: -0.00087fps (avg)

Unit2:
Spread: 0.09fps

Difference from actual ~1,000fps measurement: 0.00127fps (avg)

Unit3:
Spread: 0.11fps

Difference from actual ~1,000fps measurement: -0.00099fps (avg)
Mounting the units back to back - we saw a difference of 0.34fps between the units, so we'll average that down to ~0.1fps & re-test.
These are different dimensions to the regular NateChronys - so expect the shot-shot resolution of a NateChrony to be around 0.25fps @ 1,000fps & within the usual 1fps @1,000fps of actual speed.

That's how I know my Chronographs are accurate, I put about 3 days of work in to make sure.

Geeez Louise that’s serious work!

would my history and participation in the forum be considered as trustworthy to buy or sell within the classifieds? i haven’t been on here very long but i’ve made a bit more than quite a few posts. i’ve even bought a huben k1 from another member without any issues, (though i didn’t get a feedback score on it lol)

Probably. Scammers are way too lazy to make 345 posts. That's why they have to rely on scamming to make money. They also tend to be stupid and have small, misshapen genitals.

Yes sir!

Totally different environment than the old Brookhaven range. I went there one day and shot at 200 yds because all the 50 and 100 benches were full, I had no clue what I was doing.

With the moderator, are they backyard friendly?

With a moderator if you have it set to about 25fpe pounds it is quiet.But I would not say it's as quiet as a Benjamin marauder or benjamin akela. At about 38-44 foot-pounds.It's about as loud as a nail gun, and that's with a 22gr pellet goin 960fps

Ooops, sorry I forgot to delete this thread. I am surprised how many people replied to this!

We're still troubleshooting an issue with 2FA that just happened to rear its head simultaneously with the launching of our new App. Particularly when someone uses multiple devices. It has caused some problems with logging in, accessing DM's, creating threads, and replying to existing threads. I've got my developer involved and they believe they've isolated the issue and hope to have a fix pushed out tomorrow Wednesday.

Thanks for your patience

I once did a job where a fellow wanted an indoor small bore range, he bought an old single wide trailer house and gutted it front to back, then set about proofing sides with metal and foam.. it was nice for 17 hmr and .22 lr. After that it got loud.
I have dreamed of getting a cinder block range build 15x75'

Does anyone know the size of the oring on a bottle adapter the uses the hand nut?

Dotdotdot · Jun 7, 2024

I have the same question. Glad to find the answer here.

Too fast on the speed, that's why it's all over the place, JSB's like something in the 900 range, AEA's you can push somewhat higher, I think you're getting too much air behind them. If the slugs are working, then IMHO, forget about pellets but you can try the AEA's and see if they work better for you without changing anything or turn down your HSA on the pellets but it'll never be perfect.

I know, power wheel setting 6, pellets hit hole in hole. Just didn't chrono on pw setting 6.

They make a mess

I just found that out shooting at one at home in my living room, but at the outdoor range it is quite OK

I dont really measure CTC or groups, i just like them to be small enough, and that i generally gauge from how many of the holes touch each other, CUZ it is quite rare i get 2 slugs in the same hole with the distances i shoot.

My fellow Randusian ( name for people living in the Danish town of Randers ) Viking airgunner he shoot at marker dots made on the back of regular paper targets.

I've got the chance to buy a daystate mk3 but I'm hesitant to buy it as I don't see any youtube videos on it showing instructions on how to use it & not hardly any videos on it. Has anyone got a daystate mk3 & know how to use it/charge it etc. There's a manual but it's confusing when there's no actual video

Wanted a red wolf/pulsar but that's out of my budget, could get a hw100 too but prefer the mk3 just because there's no mechanical noise on it & it's electric mechanism.

Did you get the Mark 3?

Can experts on here help with this ??
How to remove the shaft from the hammer, without cutting it or damaging the spring with heat ?
Thanks in advance

Most any decent gun will do 100, it's mainly mental, been there done that. My thing is magnification you see your heart beat, you learn to time your shots to it. I like a moderately light trigger...11oz. Some do really light but I prefer a touch of safety, no pun intended. I like Arken FFP Scopes, I LOVE their simple reticles with a .3 moa center dot instead of a massive cross hair or even a thin cross hair, put dot on target and let fly. I lube everything that moves, my trigger groups get either Tri-flow or Mobile 1, the light stuff, nothing special and I've got a bucket full of special gun oils. Personally I do Mavericks, I'm familiar with them, I can tune them, I know most of the issues with the 'barrels' , you'll read about how FX POI shift from day to day, as long as everything is properly installed, short of using it as a pry bar they are fine, every gun shifts a little, it has to, I carry mine by the scopes the barrels the frames, whatever I grab. I prefer Donny FL Moderators, I've got another box of Mods, I always go back to my Donny's, I put a small 1/2" or what ever size thread it is, 0-ring, it helps to seal the Mod to the barrel, and possibly help with accuracy but also keeps the lead dust going away from you.

This is a lot of really good information. Thank you!

@L.Leon I’m not sure this will benefit me as an owner of an HR, but this information should save many others from headaches while trying to repair and maintain their BRK and Daystate rifles.

Firewalker · Sep 25, 2024

I've tried hard to not respond to this post as I just don't see the Maverick as a good choice for .25.

I'm set up for .30 slugs and she is as perfect as a gun can be. In .25, she was a complete turd,

With pellets, she was a dream but that was not the plan.

I'd get the Dynamic and see if the slug issue has been solved in .25.
