Hi Lou

I don’t think Joe or Tim have anything to worry about.

This is especially true after just seeing Joe’s 25 Meter 63x’s yesterday. Yikes!

I have a fx maverick for slugs so this gun will primarly be pellets

All your choices make me nervous. Each in their own individual way. I would try to score a Benjamin Akela in .22. The selection of truck guns gets better when you’re willing to beat up a $1k+ gun. But I understand where you’re coming from. If Kral was still around, they made good truck guns. Remember, big temperature swings don’t mess with an unregulated gun. They also have less things that can leak.

I've never heard that there's anything wrong with shooting below the reg, but, what do I know. Probably wont do it again, just seeing how many shots in the 915's I could get. But, that's something to watch out for. I usually refill around 150 bar anyways. And yes, loving the Vet II tactical, as well as my Vet I.

I just researched that & it seems there's nothing seriously wrong with shooting below reg pressure, just that we shouldn't make a habit of going WAY below it

Anyone have experience using these pellets?
Thanks!

Beeman 1222 – .177 Caliber Hollow Point Coated Pellets 250ct

Model: 1222

There is a collar that requires a special tool at the end of the shroud/barrel that has to come off… I may have to make that tool myself

Hi looks like fun , question for you do you have a lot of air gun ranges where you live? I live In Sacramento and we have maybe one I know of thanks in advance

As far as I know, the Veteran 1 .25 from a few years ago had LW barrel with tight chokes. The more recent ones have unchoked CZ barrels. I'm not sure when they made the transition but guns from the last half of last year have the CZ barrels according to Taipan. The type of barrel you have might be a large contributing factor whether the gun will shoot slugs well or not.

There was some back & forth on the forum regarding the gen 1 guns that Tony had in stock back when I made my purchase.

The impression I have is that it has a CZ barrel, but I'm not 100% on that.

It's not a huge deal to me, but I get the impression that these guns aren't super ammo choosey & in my limited experience w it that's been true.

The little choad flings 34 gr pellets to 100 yds just fine. If it throws slugs that'd be even sweeter.

Happy wife, happy life!

LOL
There isn't an abundance of 392G guns out there and that one is on the chart of serials that I've collected.

Thank you all, my friends, for your help. Indeed, the problem appeared when I removed the barrel and took off the carbon sleeve. I'm currently waiting to receive the new one, so although the barrel is already inserted into the block, I haven't adjusted it yet, which is probably the issue. I appreciate the explanation about the pellet probe—it's always good to know how it's adjusted. Thanks again for your help.

Should be a nice day on Sunday in Palmyra, PA.

You killed a protected species! The rarely seen "Backwards Headed Bunny" (Rodentia Necktwistium)

Great pellet in .177 , .22 & .25

In the past I had a Caldwell lead sled to zero in my pcp's that is until I read an article that this was not the way to go so, I sold it. Since then, I have used bags and more recently Caldwell precision turret. Both would get me close, but I feel close wasn't enough, so I bought a Caldwell lead sled DFT 2 and looking forward to being spot on once again. The true meaning of "different strokes for different folk's"

Annual oil changes, don't go by hours. WM

No, you will end up with a compressor anyway save the money

Agreed, question is do you want a $300 handpump sitting in closet, or a $50 one? WM

Today mine one pin fall down, did you solved it? Or, just a bit of loctite and all good.
Maybe this can help.

Click to expand...

yes, i simply reinserted it. probably should have use a drop of loctite. will do for sure next time.

I swapped my Maverick #2 regulator to one of the new ones, and it work just fine, and i have shot it quite a bit.
On the other hand the Huma REG i got, that was soon replaced by the FX regulator again.

Interesting edit. Lol

1) the rubber cap is lost. I could try to drain the glycerin but that will take a while and probably keep leaking for a while. The needle may vibrate excessively too.
2) my compressor does not have an automatic shutoff and it’s across the garage from my workbench. So ideally I could have a backlit gauge that I could see without walking back and forth. I’ve even seen gauges that will connect via Bluetooth (not so I can walk away, but again to reduce walking back and forth). I was about to buy a digital gauge to replace the one on my compressor but when this one leaked I figured I should explore my options for that instead.
3) I was advised that if the rubber cap is already lost on this gauge, it could be from a tiny leak in the bourdon tube blowing it out and that it’s not uncommon. So while I’m sure I could get an identical replacement I figured the upgraded gauge would be very nice.

It looks like finding a threaded adapter is not trivial. McMaster-Carr usually has what I need but not to bush BSPP to NPT at 300bar.

Burn a lot testing and not much hunting which is mostly coyotes..

There is a screw at this location, I don't know what it is used for

@Shane California Thanks for the reply. How’d you mark the underside of the rail in order to know exactly where to remove material from the underside of the rail?
