I have been running through pellets like they were water. Finding out what my gun likes and what it only tolerates. At this point I'm in by nearly 450 pellets total.( Saving the tins like they had value lol). But I absolutely have to give props to bbsllc! I purchased the gx cs2 from their eBay store and it is doing fantastic!!! I shall continue to try to max this unit out!

When I first got my Leshiy 2 semiautomatic, I was going thru a 500 tin everyday

I’ll try them. Thank you.

The filter shoudl be bled of moisture every time you use it.

I don't see it; I see the scope cover, where is the rest?

I had a Vulcan .25. Was the second generation version. Loved that thing and regret selling it. Out of all the other airguns I have let go that was the one I wish I kept.

Been a lurker for some time here. Learned quite a bit from the posts...Thanks!

Always had some sort of air guns but never took them too serious. I live on an agricultural property, able to legally shoot firearms here though i have a residential neighborhood surrounding me so i try not to upset the neighbors (they don't like my loud tractors and other ag type of stuff and call the police when i burn, etc...though im zoned ag so im able to do things my in town neighbors cant.)

I needed some way to thin my squirrel population. Bought a crosman break barrel and started shooting, trying different scopes, different rings, other budget springers, various pellets, etc. I was getting decent accuracy but I felt it could be better. Came across a 30 year old Diana 34 in .177...WOW what a difference. I know it's still in the realm of budget springers but it's a huge difference. Currently at 860fps with 7.9 cphp.

Next up will be a tune kit and spring. There seems to be a few different spring options? Im not solely concerned with velocity, was considering the "Old school" kit from air rifle headquarters.

Any other spring/tune recommendations before I dive in?

The older 34s were the best

Only problem I have with it is that none of them are things I'm currently looking at purchasing myself I say more power to them. Listing a bunch of different items that could benefit other members. Now if it was a bunch of listing for the same item I could see a problem, but that's not the case

OK, the movie is kind of boring so I messed with the fill calculator. I assumed 66ft3 as the "big tank" and 33 ft3 as the "smaller tanks". I used a fill pressure of the tanks of 4250psi, a fill pressure for the gun of 3600 psi and refilling them at 2200 psi. I assumed the gun stores 220cc of air. These are roughly right for one of my P35s (so I could sanity check the result).

With those assumptions I would get 13 full fills from the big tank and 6 from each of the smaller ones.

Then I started different assumptions for doing a partial fill from one smaller tank and then raising it to 3600 with the other smaller tank. The best strategy I came up with is filling from 2200psi to 3100 with one tank then from 3100 to 3600 with the other. That would give 18 full fills. So you gain 5 fills, in theory.

The worst strategy I calculated was filling from 2200 to 2900 and then 2900 to 3600. The tank in the second fill would only give you 13 fills - so no gain. Planning the strategy is important.

This all ignores the loss of the air in the lines of the fill set from each fill operation. That would double with the partial fill case so you'd probably loose a fill or two. But still you would get something for your trouble. If you rig up lines that minimize the losses or use a "EZ fill" on each line you might get close to these numbers.

The other way this is a bit theoretical is the calculator only tells you full fills. I usually keep using the tank down to something like 3200 or 3300 psi. That also gives you a bunch more fills. But it works for big or small tanks. Using partial fills minimizes the benefit of multi stage filling. The gain from that strategy is in using the tank more fully. But if you use partial fills you are doing that already. In the "best" two tank scenario you quit when one tank gets below 3600. I pretty much always go below that. But the other tank in that scenario keeps getting used until you go below 3100 psi. Sometimes I go that low but not always.

So unless you only use full fills, fills to the limiting fill pressure, I still don't think it matters much if at all whether you get 1 bigger or two smaller bottles. You can get more full fills from two smaller ones if you are willing to fill your gun twice each time but if you use partial fills that benefit would seem to pretty much go away.

If you are just filling a paintball tank or smaller I don't feel an external filter is necessary. Other guys here strongly disagree. That is just something you will have to decide for yourself.

I live in Florida with 90% humidity. When I fill my paintball tank with my GX Compressor I do not get moisture in the tank. (I take the valve off often to check for moisture).

Click to expand...

I have the same opinion. I went through quite a bit of testing, filling SCBA, etc. but cannot get any conversation going regarding tests, usually just name-calling.

I have measured ambient RH (relative humidity), filled tanks and bottles, then vented the air from tanks and bottles into a test void, such as a plastic bag. The venting allows the compressed air to be measured for humidity at ambient pressure, since my humidity meters only measure at ambient (room pressure). I have found that humidity is typically <10% which is very dry according to metal storage standards.

I have found that, for gun filling, simply normal pressure release venting appears to purge the water.

I have also found no evidence of liquid water in any of my guns, bottles, or tank, nor any corrosion.

I am not claiming that extra filters/water traps are unnecessary, simply that I have not been able to detect any need for them, given the applications that I have tested. No one seems to respond with humidity measurements, so IDK how to compare results.

I do avoid adding extra volume to gun and bottle filling because it increased compressor run time, especially if not achieving improved water/humidity presence.

It would be very interesting to compare results in order to try to better understand results.

Man your videos & shots are awesome (once you know to watch them muted… sorry, couldn’t resist )

planning a trip down to Greenville mi to see the girlfriends family so i was trying to see if there is anyone down there to shoot with. let me know

If you rifle is only a month or so old, you might give the vendor a call, or email, explain the situation and learn what they can do for you. I know Utah Airguns is a Service Center for FX and if nothing else you might consider discussing the situation with them. While the gun is under warranty it is better to have a shop do the repair and not void your warranty.

I’ll be following as well. Mine is actually a Winnie 435. Chrono numbers look like a PCP gun. And they’re such beautiful rifles. Has a trigger issue that MDriskill helped me with a few years back. Think I’ve found the fix so now we’re shooting again hoping to get it up and running soon.

@Max115 This was very satisfying to watch at the end of the day. That farmer has a very nice looking barn setup. I love it!!

I really enjoyed this video. The rat you busted on the ledge was a great shot and reaction! Shot #s 9 and 10 had me yelling at the screen. Nice shooting!!

Thank you Ezana4CE. Yes, this barn is actually very clean and tidy. It was a fun night of shooting these rats especially the two up on the rafters. Cheers.

I have impact, close enough, same liner and all, you should expect this accuracy with pellets in 30 cal, seems like AEA doing awesome, JSB right behind it, enjoy:

Here’s the list for the different models .it would appear the OP is looking for either the TK in 16.3 or 7.5 J models . Any rifle with the 310mm barrel will have the short cylinder. All other models come with the longer cylinder.

Georgii Arapov said:

Thanks for the suggestion. I was trying to find any sold items/ threads to check on that but I couldn’t find any. Not sure what they are selling for buy I will be asking around 2K for all the items. (Compressor, pellets, and other stuff)

Looks like you are trying to get a jump on advertising.. might want to be careful with that. This has the air of dump and run to it considering it appears you are selling out of the hobby.
This is a forum where folks share experience. The classifieds are just an added benefit for the members. It's not strictly buy and sell website.

I would use a torch warmer it warm it to at least 350° then try working it loose

Great shooting again Dana!

I regret to inform everyone that this Sunday's field target match is cancelled. With the amount of preparation and work that goes into setup and the threat of thunderstorms and rain Saturday evening through most of Sunday I feel it's best to make the decision early enough for those traveling to adjust accordingly. I apologies for the disappointment.

Our next field target match is 21 September. Hopefully the weather will be more favorable.

If anyone has any questions or concerns please let me know.

I couldn't agree more - great company - great customer service - great people!

Loose gauge.

I’ve used the Bushy Match Pro ED and Vortex G3 Razor. Have a G3 razor on my rimfire comp gun as well, highly recommend it if you have the budget. If not, the Match Pro ED kills everything under $1500.

Got that from Tim himself. He mentioned someone, but I had no idea who he was referring to and my concern was my rifle, so it wasn't stored in my memory.

I guess he was injured, but nowhere near the extent that the rumor mill wanted us to believe. There was no mention of that at all.

Thanks for clarifying @Don.Chipmunk-slayer
