I've considered this for 'hard turning' (turning hardened materials). My compound is rigid enough for other work, but I have a large-ish (14x40, ~4500#) lathe.

I have a Bantam Sniper HR .22, and it will leak down once in a while, but not nearly all the time. Just unexpectedly when it's set for a while it will leak down. Then it may go many weeks no problem. The other day, when I fired it the first shot, I heard a short puff of air leak out, I'm assuming down the barrel, for maybe a half second, then stopped and I went on shooting no problem. Hasn't done it again, and holding air fine. Any ideas?
My thought is maybe something in the firing valve, that doesn't always seal, and let's it leak down once in a while, and then seals up fine when the debri is out of the way???? Just a thought. I haven't had time to tear it down yet.

Can probably by it directly from Air Tanks for Sale, too.

One con I did find on the PIP is that it makes my groups look SO much bigger.

Update:

If any of you saw my other thread. I went through a mess to get the Wildcat working because the threads on the front bottle adapter and the bottle valve were cross threaded.

Anyway, I put a new bottle adapter (https://utahairguns.com/product/fx-dream-tac-dream-lite-bottle-adapter/) and a new M3 bottle valve from Talon Tunes and got my Wildcat up and running again.

Unfortunately I am still getting drops in FPS when shooting from 250 bar down to 120bar.

My front regulator is at 145 and rear at 120. I played around with the hammer spring settings. Before doing all this, I took out the hammer assembly cleaned it up, including the spring and hammer weight. Important thing I saw and noted were the two washers on the hammer: is that normal and from factory or something the previous owner added? It is a used gun.

Then I followed the video from Ernst Rowe and turned the HS CCW until I did not gain any FPS. At this current setting ( 120 bar rear reg and power wheel at 7) I got around 910-915 fps. Turning the HS CCW further started dropping FPS so I turned it CW until I was in the 880-885 fps range.

I am getting really good accuracy at this setting, however when I shoot with these parameters from 250bar to 120bar I would get really tight ES of 7-9 fps for 13-15 shots and then would get 3-5 shots that would drop fps to 855-860 and then creep back up to 880-885 and stay this way until my bottle pressure dropped down to the rear reg pressure of 120bar. I can feel and hear the gun not shooting strong when this drop happens. The chronograph confirms what I can hear and feel in the shot cycle.

Any idea what is causing this?

Thanks guys

I have 6 full boxes of NSA 22cal/219 diameter slugs for sale. 2 boxes are 20.2 gr/275 and 4 boxes of 31.2 gr/225. These are just extras that I have laying around. I found that the NSA slugs shoot very flat and accurately and are the best bang for your buck. I'm Asking $95 shipped to the lower 48. Payment by USPMO or check if we have done business before. Buy with confidence as I have about 10 pages of all Positives on the old Yellow BOI and only a few here.

All - I have been messing around with my new Garmin i FPS mode 70-150 for other projectiles. I thik I have figured out how to rate exit Velo off the bat with my so o a tee. was wonderig if ayone else had doe this ad has ay learings. I seem to get really consistant readings so it makes me skeptical.

no, the grips are Herrett and from what i see they no longer make them 5-6 years ago you could get them foe 75 bucks but not now i have seen prices as high as 299.00 of course absurd but they had a retail price of 120.00 from Herrett
with the Phantom adapter for the AR-15 mount you can go 1911
and of course you can find all sort of AR-15 grip
https://phantomonline.com/product/45-frame-only/

the BFD grip frame was for the builder that what something different and said screw the cost and today if they made them people would buy them the market is still there
with so many of the small companies that were around 10-15 years ago making custom parts as a hobby or business now gone the 2240 platform builder is limited to very few parts
i have been working on the Chaser platform but again the parts are hard to find which in reality is absurd also
another pair of Herrett on a Buck Rail grip frame for a Chaser
Royal grips on a Chaser
Steve Corcoran FX grip on a modified Buck rail frame

ideas and the willingness to try and a few pockets full of money can make that factory stock pistol your own
and one last pistol that is 2240 based again with SC grips and i bought this for a song like this 200.00 the good old days

Owned Hill, FX ( a couple of gens) and the Vevor pump - 2 of them one for a back up that's still NIB after 8 years-.
NO reason to pay more at all, you might link to the exact model you are looking at.

Hi,
You should watch all the videos from Sub12Airgunners to learn all about the Crown and Crown MkII. While the guys doing the videos are working on the UK sub 12FPE versions of the rifles, pretty much everything they do applies to the US (or what they call FAC) versions of the rifle. They usually show you where the differences are and what effect they have.
Below is the tuning video they did a few years ago which gives a very good explanation of what you are trying to do and a method to achieve that. Watch this, then use the link to watch the videos on the Crown and Crown MkII differences as well as the complete disassembly and reassembly videos.
Cheers,
Greg

Maybe address this post to "Taipan & JKahn Noblesse owners" & you might get more specific information & help from those "in the know".

That is too bad that these parts for the Chaser buttstock are not easier to obtain, it looks extremely well made and functional. I guess I'll opt for the simpler add-on cheek piece from ATI Outdoors. I think it is designed for the AK of all things. Parts for the AK on a Chaser...how's THAT for opposite ends of the spectrum!

Today tested my Pallas Hamburg Maxi Synthetic 5.5 Fac.

I've had it completely taken apart, everything cleaned and polished
All the ports drilled out to 4.5mm.
Hammerspring all the way in until i just had enough to cock it.
These are the results.

That’s an excellent question!!

It happens with centerfire also. One Sunday morning was cooking breakfast and dry-firing a .45 auto. Put clip back in, ran slide and shot towel rack off bathroom wall about 40 feet away.
