Making the DRS or any other rifle fit in a Bolt action stock made for the Remington 700 is going to require a lot of modification to the action and barrel channel. It can be mocked up but just isn’t practical. I just stocked my DRS 600 in wood and copied the grip from my GRS Dreamline. It was the easiest inletting job I have ever done. All the lines of the inletting are straight with no tapper in the action or barrel. I set the wood up in my vertical mill and inlet the whole thing with a 1/2” and a 1/8” bit In less than two hours. I have another 6 hours shaping the blank mostly with power tools and different rasps. It is in the final sanding stage now so another half day I will have it all done. It is coming out really nice. The DRS platform really shines in a wood stock. My wood stock which is soft curly maple is only 2 pounds heavier than the synthetic stock. There isn’t really a noticeable difference of the gun in hand between the two. The DRS barrel is so light so most of the weight is in the rear half of the gun. This is just opposite of a typical PB deer rifle with a heavy steel barrel. Everyone is raving about how light the DRS is and how nice a hunting gun it will make. But not me . I personally like a slightly barrel heavy gun for offhand shooting which comes in to play in hunting scenario when a rest isn’t available. I have been shooting my DRS offhand and I simply can not shoot it as well as most of my other guns especially my PB guns. It’s too light . So I’m going to be adding weight in the barrel channel of the stock to replicate what I am used too. it might wind up a 8 or 9 pound gun. It looks like a typical bull barrel PB rifle , it might benefit to feel like one too. i know others will have different opinions. I dont have a picture of the stock at it latest stage so I will post one next week when it’s finished. I think you will see what I’m talking about.

Looks awesome

I have a .457 and the only disadvantage is that I can't shoot at the backyard due to the noise...

Thanks for the info. Yeah that is a respectable power. Just always have looked at crowns and really liked them. With a stock hammer weight what do you think the max useable reg pressure would be ? Thanks again

Seemed to be that peak output was around 130 bar. But you'd really have to run it over a chrono to be sure.

I'm impressed with them too. Maybe not as consistent as the 18gr but could have been me too. I will be trying them more. If I can't get them as good as the 18gr I'll bump them down to say 920fps instead of the 960fps to save air and likely tighten up groups alittle.

The 18g JSBs , the 16g Hades and the 22.07s all hit the same windage wise for me. Just a little more holdover at 50y with the heavier JTS pellet.

Well what I'm trying to say......

Lets go back a minute, for almost 2 decades into PCPs I sure had my favorites but I still loved to read and follow other guns, loved to follow new guns coming out and so and so now,

Since I got my Hubens I really don't spend hardly any time reading about other guns, I might chime in once in a while if I see something that looks very nice but in reality I lost all interest in any other gun.

I feel that same was about my 308 Texan and AEA big 9 they both fit my needs very much so.

If you look up reviews of the newer Air Venturi Avenge-X, it is an accurate and affordable airgun. A friend has one in 22, has been quite accurate, fun to shoot. He says he wouldn’t pick the synthetic stock again as it is 2 pieces, the forend being separate and can move.

Hatsan has referbs, and field / wing supply ( more hatsan)

Barra

Crosman (alternative)


Midway has some and I think open box, blems

.... More on reg less on hammer and vise versa will give you the same speed .

Click to expand...

I am seeing a lot of answers, but no one actually answered you specifically for the above...
Yes, you can get the same speed going either process, but the results would be much different at the muzzle.
With a higher Reg and matching hammer hit energy (hammer spring and hammer weight balance) you will get a smaller air blast at the muzzle that can unbalance the pellet skirt. Going from there tighten the Valve spring monitoring the speed, take away maybe 10-15-20 fps from the Max and that will shorten the air blast inside barrel hopefully before reaches the muzzle.
Internal + external airstripper will help you greatly.
Sorry I don't know your gun dictionary I have the .25 Impact MK2 also couple .22 liners as well but no .177, and this shall give you some picture.
To fully tune your gun - or just any gun - sometimes a tin of pellet is just not enough. You change the pellet weight you retune, you change the caliber you retune.
Take a (paper) notebook and a pencil and document all your steps. Always change only one thing at a time and write it down. When you got couple pages of data, grab a beer and start tinkering.
You will see a first.... smaller calibers need more air and higher pressures, you can start from there. Then change to higher caliber and examine with that given Reg you will turn the Hammer Spring Tensioning Wheel to lower numbers to eliminate the high burst.
Yes, it is possible...

Looking to buy panthera stock

Lol i might get a high dollar one one day i just love how some guys get with brands and etc sometimes ppl knock a brand but have never owned one. That arrow could be a terd, alot of ppl have said the avenger isnt that good but at 50 yards it is doing less than 1/4 inch group. And wierdly thats untuned i haven't done squat other than the trigger. It is shooting fast right now it seems around 840-900 for around 15gr pellet but a 14.3 crossman in mine is over i think 1100 and groups good so if i tune it around 850 it could keyhole at 50 i will have to see.

I *think* I've found / stumbled upon a tune that I can live with. Readers digest - the .2165 & .217 nsa's showed up. The .217's were noticeably "snugger" fitting into the barrel and speed over the chrony reflected that. Set them aside. The .2165's, as kind of expected, did in fact show real promise. I took some other's with me from stuff I had laying around the house ( some .217 H&N 30's, and the .217 ZAN 30.5's ) Interestingly - both of those - in .217 - pressed right into the barrel like they belonged there. ( compared to the .217 NSA's which were noticeably tighter ) It was hit & miss with both of these 30's - I could get them really good out to 51 yds but then when I chucked them up to the board out at 97 they would fall apart (open up)

** note on odd yards used ** I shot at the Historical Society's range where the "old retired guys" (lol) shoot their flint lock muzzle loaders. The target boards at this range aren't . . .well they ain't where the guys say they are. (lol) The 30 is really 28.5'ish. The 50 - yeah - that's more like 51.5'ish and the one they call the 100 - sorry guys - my rangefinder tells me its really @97. So -- yeah. It's all good though.

. . . anyway ↑ . . . that said. Two things - (1) I was getting frustrated with the 30's hit & miss - just when I think I've got something going - send 'em long to the 97 board and . . . nope. {sigh} (2) - I was getting hungry. I mumbled to myself - " . . . screw it - just load up a magazine of those 27.5's again and see what they do. I won't know how fast they're going but at this point . . . I'm hungry and ready to call it for the time being . . . " <-- I DID know how fast the 30's were going - between 935-950'ish. I've just been shooting at sharpie'd 3/4" circles up on the piece of cardboard per other pictures in this thread. I start sending the lighter 27.5's .

"Whoa . . . " ( actually - a little high - dial it down 3 clicks . . . ) Hot Damn! Move over to another sharpie circle - "N I C E . . . " Alright - I'm gonna slap some reactive sticker ones up there just to make sure I'm not hallucinating . . . .

I sent 4 at the only one I shot at and was like "I'm done. This is my tune. I don't know what it is (lol) but . . . I'm done." (lol) I did move the gun to another spot where I had my chrony setup and ripped off the rest of the mag over it to get an average speed - turns out to be 985. You see that in one of the attached pictures. I took the photo from the 97 yd spot where I shot at the splatter target - you can see the gun and chrony up a little in front of me - that was post shoot when I measured for speed. I'm going to "build" this setup in strelok and start marking up the turret with ranges.

It's not that hard if you can read a diagram. And I also take pictures as im disassembling any airgun. So you know where everything goes.

There is a youtube on the "sub 12 airgun" channel where he talks about different methods of getting gauges to line up. I think one involved shims but I think they were metal.

Click to expand...

I don't like the ideal of using dowty washers, this may increases the surface area under pressure, increasing the force on the threads.

Another way if you have a lathe is to shorten the end of the gauge until it is clocked correctly.

Like steel piston rings on aluminum cylinder? Retired now but would love to send a $ample off thru work, standard checks on our Rexroth pumps in the office onshore. Nothing but crickets from Lawrence Factor...so may switch up with Rarus 427 this summer when SecoLube runs out. thx

Don’t need. Get it discounted and free shipping. PayPal F&F or Zelle.

Well I got 10 yesterday. Had to take a shower before Saturday to get the bug goo off me. Dirty job but somebody has to do it

Revoman said:

Checked it this morning after putting 8 pumps in it last night and it sounded like a full pressure release to me (LOUD!).
I'm saying that it seems good to go....but I also said that the last time I resealed it and after a while it failed....so, I'll have to shoot it more to get a better picture on it's health.
Thanks again for all of the input and suggestions AGN'ers!
