Reminds me of the time a fella goes to the doctor and says, "Doc, when I do this, it hurts" Doc says, "Well, don't do that!"

I was hunting once with one of my bottle builds and took a shot at a squirrel from fairly close range not aware that the bolt wasn't locked down - I got the squirrel, but damn near soiled my britches.

Pb blaster, marvel air tool oil, transmission fluid acetone mix, soak long time. In my experience pb blaster dissolves rust really well, I use it on old antiques that have been neglected for years.

Looking for jsb or fx .30 cal pellets in 44.75 grains.

Generally speaking, you're probably already in a sweet spot. I generally tune my guns to around 125-135 bar. Go much lower and you start wasting air. Much higher, the valve tends to be a lot harder to open, and tends to yield less consistency. More hammer mass can aleviate this. Port work might help? Essentially getting air to flow with less turbulence. But I honestly don't know if increse in flow in these terms means more air useage as well? It very well could? A longer barrel is definitely more efficient, but that usually isn't desirable either.

Either way, big bore airguns, even at their most efficient, tend to be air hogs regardless. It just comes with the territory.

What are you shooting?
I tried to shoot one with my Notos and it just broke open. No explosion.
Going to try with my 25 cal L2 next.
I think the notos just doesn't put out enough energy to make it explode.

I'm shooting a modified AV Avenger 22cal. It is shooting H&N Baracuda 21.14gr pellets at about 875FPS, so it is about 36FPE. It is hitting pretty hard.

The Baracuda are more "pointy" than traditional Diabolo, so this may make a small difference as there would be more force applied to a smaller area when it first hits.

It looks like the Notos caps at about 20FPE. Here is a chart:

I think that the energy that you are applying to the target makes more difference than the velocity by itself. You can blow them up with arrows, so those would be heavy, would be going slow, and would thereby deliver significant FPE to the target. I don't know how hard it would be to get the power up on that gun (adding plenum, increasing hammer spring, reducing valve spring, boring out the valve, increasing the size of the transfer port, etc, etc, etc.)

Your Leshiy 2 should be more suitable to make these pop with the 25cal putting out 35-40FPE which is right where I am.

Good luck, and don't forget to record your success so you can share it with the rest of us "kids" that like to make things go BOOM!

Hey guys, got a 3d printer. Just wondering if anyone has an stl file for a Picatinny rail for the Notos? Would clamp or tape to the air tube, would prefer it to be whole length but I guess just enough for a bipod would be okay if it isn't possible to do whole/most of length.

PS I know about the one from Airgun Archery Fun but I have the plenum and am not sure how that'd mount... plus it's like $36 to get here and a whole roll of PETG is cheaper than that lol

I am very interested in fx panthera hunter compact .22
I would like to know the length after using the AR Folding Stock and how long is it folded?

With a short shroud the Marauder is 39.75 inches, can be shorter yet. Shrouds can be cut and threaded or purchased from Tim Hill. As well, Airgun Revisions produces a short Marauder that is about 36 inches long. Aluminum reservoir tubes are available from time to time which puts the weight down around 5.5 pounds with the SynRod stock.

That is good information, thank you.

Anybody here have a .20 air rifle? What do you guys think of your .20 compared to your other air rifles.
Again I'm limited to sub 12ft/lb limit.
I'm thinking to exchange my 177 hw77k for a .20 hw97k but the problem is there's only 5 choices of .20 pellets in every store online that I checked in uk.

I only ever plan on having 2 air rifles so if I do get .20 hw97k then the hw77k has to go.

I recently purchased a HW95 in .20 and its the best springer I have owned to date. Smooth cocking and very accurate. I tried two pellets both H&N and settled on the 11.42gr. Rumor has it the .20s are better built, don't know that its true but I'm loving mine. BTW it's the FAC as I live in the US.

Thank you, I like this solution. I'll see how it fits.

I agree 100%. I age all my squirrels(small game) for a week before eating or freezing.
I also slow cook all squirrels so they end up like pulled pork.
I have yet to try the batter fried recipes but I'm curious.

Would love an invite to partake and would contribute some squirrels to the feast. Just a former city old boy looking to be schooled…

Thanks for the advice.

Free magazine for a P-rod, just pay the shipping.

Looks like a Brian Samson on Motorheads TX. I've got a couple and they're great. I'd recommend them.

BSB HFT Butt Pad - Brian Samson's Webshop

Adjustable butt pad for HFT (fully UKAHFT legal). The pad can be adjusted up/down and can be angled into you to give a consistent shoulder position. If you want to hit the target, a good stock fit is vital - whether you're a hunter or a competition shooter, consistency is the key to accuracy...

Thanks Cole will send them an email.

Does anyone know where you can purchase barrels for them?

i have used the .25 hades on coon's and fox on the farm with a 62fpe Talon-p carbine.
i dont recover the projectile, but i can tell you at a distance of 20-25yrds...there is no pass thru's
and the critters are usually planted right there after nerve response.
but POI justifies the end results.
