Good pricing on Amazon for these scopes, less than going thru DiscoveryOpt website and a lot easier to return if there’s a problem

In cases like this, I always suspect that a gauge is lying to you. Secondly, most all male foster fittings have a rubber plug in the center that provides a check valve function, just as an O ring does on probe fill ports. No springs are used. To prevent a check valve function on male foster fittings, simply punch out the rubber plug. It is also a really good idea to use more than one pressure gauge, as some do indicate false pressure readings. I use 3, one on the compressor, one on the fill whip and another on my bottle. It is cheap insurance. Gauges do fail and HPA can be very dangerous.. Perhaps the OP does not understand what a deadhead test is. All it is, is a fill attempt with the compressor against a tank with a closed valve watching the whip pressure gauge.

That's weird about the pm, it worked for one reply. Oh well. Had you popped up a couple years back I was living in Sandwich. So for you, it's about 1.5 hours to Mass Rifle, maybe an hour to Marlborough, and 2 to Vernon ct or Palmer ma. As i said, it's not to bad considering how far I had to go for ft years ago.

I've dabbled in mini rc helicopters for a few months to see if I liked it. After a few hundred dollars in broken choppers I decided the money was better spent on pellets.

Are the FX STX barrels useable in the FX Boss or would they need to be machined to fit?

That vibra tite stuff reminds of “superelastic bubble plastic”. The stuff you play with as a kid. Has the little straw and tubes of stuff you blow bubbles with. Feels and smells exactly as I remember as a kid

No brain cells lost huffing that "toy" ..

Decades ago I had a indoor range for practice. Shot leagues. Temperature controlled. Recoil Springers poi changed from night to night. Drove me crazy. My wife said- “short drive”!

Short drive very funny lol I was working on the POI With my Marauder , and think it's much more pronounced with Airguns than PB's. The .177 Marauder has no kick then why was my POI off , so I added 2 sets of rings , and very very carefully tried to bump it , or drop it. My newest rifle is a Hatsan Air Tac in .177 My first springer ever I would put 5 rings on it if I could kicks hard.

What do you recommend for a .22 chamber flag that won't damage the breech o-ring? I'm currently using a weed wacker string but I don't really like it.

Is the symptom that the plenum pressure is climbing to the same pressure as the bottle?

If so, the O-ring on the regulator's adjustment screw needs replacing. The Snowpeak regulator probably looks different than this example, but the adjuster is the brass piece on the bottom right.

View attachment 577577

I saw in another thread the top ring is close to a 7x1.5 , I figure the lower ones are close to that. There's also some kits on Amazon but I'm not entirely sure of the size needed. Do you have any idea if there's any verified info on that? Ordering the replacement seals from Canada will take weeks at best.

Interesting side note, while the bottle was pressurized I'd guess there was more air in the plenum than it liked because the seal under the side gauge gave up and blew all the air out while the rifle was sitting.

Stocks look good, but I always go for performance over esthetics.

Springs, hammers, tophats, regulators, barrels and plenums AirForce guns have a lot of really simple upgrades. 30 minutes from stock to monster.

I consider the stock a performance improvement. It eliminated any issues of hold sensitivity and makes the TalonP more comfortable to shoot.

If you look up die springs , there are American manufacturers that make gas rams for tool and die stamps. They come in a variety of sizes and pressure. Last I checked they were much less than buying from the Irgun manufacturers.

I don't know. Old model Pulsars had an hour meter running. None of mine have died, nor have I had any issues with them. They are electronics and I expect that someday they will need to be replaced. I plan on having a couple (or eight ) until I'm in the ground.

I’ll do some googling, even the cheapest solid state components these days seem to do great if you take care of them. Now I’m getting excited!

i looked and found nothing and the reason is that part should not get lost or a wear part but no help for the tinkerer
now i have been using Ruger Pistol for sights off Ebay
they are aluminum but are for a barrel so the bottom is not flat
length 32mm
width 8mm-
screw hole center to front 17mm+ or -
blade with 3mm -
the picture is one that i use to make up [email protected] Chaser pistol barrels and it is sitting on a carbine spacer
shop around and just an idea

Never Too much! I'll try my best to answer:
Huben reg is set to 3400 psi (preset from factory)
Rifle reg is set to 2200 psi
Gauge is from Ali Express (amazon was out of the 25mm at the time, and I didn't know that Mike at Backyard airguns sold them yet)
I like it A LOT...more of my guns WILL go to digital gauges! (I just put a Sekhmet on my FX Dynamic)
The weight of the JTS was 25.39 GR
The weight of the NSA slugs were 38.5 GR
Keep in mind...those were early groups...I was fiddlin with the power adjuster a lil bit through the strings
I kinda dig the rest (Caldwell Stinger , Amazon)...its not perfect (none of them are), and I switch between this one and a Caldwell Precision Turret, depending upon which rifle I'm shooting...The ever changing form factors of these guns definitely takes away the old school adage of one size (or rest) fits all!
The bottle band is Inspire Precision

Hope this helps, hope you become a Zelos owner! They really are a fantastic, sleek, lil rifle! And you are talking to a guy that probably owns in the neighborhood of 90 or so PCP's...(from low end to higher end).

Feel free to ask, if you have anymore questions! I love to help this community!

DJ

I own a Zelos in .22 just want a .25 as well . I think I made a lot of Zelos post like " Zelos Question" , and "Zelos Mod Squad" , and "The Zelos is Amazing".
Those are all good post check them out . OV , thanks for all the questions you answered that was great. Here is a pic where I had to cut the rail to fit my Spina Optics FFP 5 X 30 X 56 30 MM tube. The bottom pic shows a barrel bottle band that came on mine from Pyramid Air although I never seen another.

Good shooting Dana!

JimD · Jul 13, 2025

It''s amazing to me that anybody would get upset because their new airgun would not shoot the cheapest pellets they can find accurately. I would expect that and in half my 22 caliber pcps that is what I get. The other two will shoot them OK but definitely worse than more expensive pellets.

Relative to weight, however, my Stoeger Bullshark in 22 shoots Crosman domed (what I had on hand) about 950 fps but they are pretty accurate. Like a 194 30 yard challenge. JSB 18s shoot better at more like 860 fps with the same tune but they only gave me a 198. For many purposes the Crosmans might be good enough. I haven't tested them beyond 30 yards, however.

My view is Crosman are OK plinking pellets in some guns but should not be expected to be very accurate. You might get a pleasant surprise in a gun but you shouldn't count on it. And a gun tuned for 25 grain is not going to also shoot Crosmans well. 18s maybe. But not 25s.

I dig it.

Jammin22 · Jul 31, 2025

I have ran one of my .22 Huben at 90-110 bar with no issues. But, I had it setup to shoot Crossman Ultra mags at 350fps. Power wheel adjusted to reg. pressure. Ran 7000+ rounds thru it with no issues.
But, in .25 cal I would think that it should be 150-165bar. You might be safe running it at at 140 with no issues.
Hubens are picky with reg. pressure, power wheel setting, and fps. Once you find sweet spot they are golden.
I will say this all Hubens are different what works in one may not work in another. Just have to find what it likes.
