Good Day AGN'ers!

Passing along a rifle that I do not need, so it's free to anyone willing to pay the shipping to get it to you.
The pump does not pressurize the air, otherwise it's in very decent shape. Lots of bluing on the barrel and the receiver, while having some very minor marks, is also in good shape.
Since it won't pump, I cannot verify that everything else functions, so ya gotta take it as is.

If you’re after a tactical looking gun, I would definitely add a Katran, a vixen or an Air Arms 510 tactical to that list. If you intend to use it for hunting then maybe look for a more traditional wooden stock, holding a hard lump of metal on a cold dark winters day can loose it’s appeal very quickly.

I had another idea this afternoon, I filled the original RAW push pin disc with a blob of solder, then lightly skimmed it on the lathe and drilled the hole to 0.4mm

Edit, the black rings are an optional illusion, must be a reflection of my phone

I can’t seem to find a Huben GK1 in stock anywhere. Does anyone know when they may be available? Or let me know if you have one for sale.

So is that a Donny Tatsu and which pic rail adapter is that? Looks nice and low.

I use a Tatsu or a Tanto typically. When I use my Jeep as a rolling blind I go bare.

The pic rail was from the "The Country Store" in Britain but I think this is it here:

Picatinny Rail - Gamo

www.gamo.com

The rail does not run full length but it works great and fits nice.

The barrel adapter was from eBay and I bonded it on after careful alignment. The carbon fiber sleeve was Amazon.

Edit to add, there is all sorts of mayhem on the internet about removing the pickle. I removed the barrel from the rifle and put it in a wooden vise. I got out my propane torch and burned it off. The heat did not hurt the barrel or finish. I used a thick pair of welding gloves and after sufficinet heat and burning of the hated plastic pickle, grabbed a hold of it and pulled it off. What is left under the now gone pickle is quite ugly thus the need of an adapter and possibly a carbon fiber sleeve. Do not cut the barrel down. The barrel has a choke in the end and is on the short side already.

I tried the HP models in .30 some weeks ago

Here i am shooting at 150 meters in very strong wind:

The guns are powerfull enough... AGN does not give much info about changes, but what i got is:
new regulator set at 200 bar and stronger hammer spring !

Maybe today or tomorrow I'll try the .25 models !

If that is all it is you could do this to the original v3. I know talon tunes sells a power tuned .30 that produces 100 fpe with a 500 mm compact barrel. Crazy.

A US based user asked me to make an inline plenum for his longer stock RAW HM1000X. But I didn't have complete specs of his after market stock.

Whatever was provided to me, I made the plenum according to those specs.

He got the chance now to install it but found that there are some differences in actual specs of stock due to which the initially sent plenum is useless.

Now I plan to make one more as now I have got better specs.

Pics are hereunder.

Morning all - as a proud Owner of an hm1000x I am looking for advice. My goal is to swap from the buddy bottle system onto a main tube modification for the air reservoir. This way I get a rifle that matches my other target rifles and also gives way to being able to fully shroud the barrel also without need for threaded moderator on the end.

Who can offer advice on having a main tube made to fit and replacing the buddy bottle altogether. I’ve scoured the net for days to no avail
Kind regards

In the links above $46 (tax included!) or $19,99 via the second link, that's a steal! Of your money, that is...
I know it's a free world and all, but this seems ridiculous.

(note: I'm NOT bashing Revoman here, he's just the messenger, and he made the search for the item a little easier.)

The stores behind the above links seem like a ripoff, see below...

I was able to learn some 3D designing program recently and had my friend printed out my 34mm Sideshot mount. So some great scope cam footages to come.

Here is a picture of the 3D 34mm mount.

Thanks for the warning on Amazon and Midway. I had thought about trying Amazon. Airgun depot packages their stuff really well. Each tin is surrounded by foam, plastic wrapped, and they fit very tight in the shipping boxes, if it is just store rack I see no reason to bother. Not trying to sponsor them or anything, just given you a place you could try.

I have tried some JSBs and found them to be hit or miss. The Exact RS and Hades I got from them are great. The RS turned out very good in my rifle. The Monster redesign not so much, 37% of them were over or under weight, wasn't very impressed by the accuracy of the ones in spec ether. I also got a sampler from JSB. And they are extreamly bad, about half had damaged skirts, I blame them having a plastic "tin" instead of metal. I do have some H&N Hunter Extreams, haven't tested them very much but they seemed good from the little time I used them. Have not tryied any Crosman yet, I'll keep them in mind.
I also have a tin of JTS Dead Centers (the ones I linked), only 9 of those were outside spec. I have yet to shoot them. If they are good I planned on buying more, hense this thead.

Sorry for the side track.

SteveP-52 · Mar 2, 2024

I own a Norica Deadeye GRS .22 and it's not one bit bad a rifle. Action in the ZRS system is a Norica Hawk if memory serves.
As mentioned, not many reviews but obvious returns for the refurbs that have also been available for awhile now.
Maybe if they were less than half the prices they're asking I'd consider one.

cavedweller · Apr 25, 2024

IMO - all of the comments are somewhat correct but only to a point... there are so many factors that affect a barrels ability to be accurate that you can't just assign one attribute like the length... or harmonics etc..to make a absolute statement of fact. Additionally PB’s are generally pushing a much heavier weight at a much higher speed and rotational forces will be much different.
@Ballisticboy would probably like this thread....

Sawney Bean · Mar 3, 2024

On an R9 for target shooting and plinking I’d go for a 4-16x if you are doing a lot of offhand shooting or hunting/posting and a 6-24x if you’re doing more serious target shooting. An R9 is accurate enough to take advantage of the higher magnification. As to what brand, I’ve heard the Westhunters are a good value.

roaoro · Mar 2, 2024

I put it all back together and it functions correctly now. I think that the spring was not seated correctly from the factory. Glad it was an easy fix.

When I started into "adult" airgunning 25 years ago, there was Rebel Arms down in S. Houston. Then I moved to the country and had all the space I needed (man I wish I still had that place!) Next was Yegua airgun club and a little backyard range at my house. Up until a few years ago, I'd make the trek down to Pearland Sportsman Club (PSC) but that drive all the way across Houston got old fast.

Now I'm square in the middle of the Houston suburbs and I have a safe full of awesome airguns, springers, pre charged, ssp... but nowhere to shoot. I can get in 17 yards in my backyard, but I'm not sure how understanding my neighbors would be... all I do these days is buy and sell, tinker a bit, maybe shoot air pistols across the garage.

Anyone in the Cypress area with a place to shoot? I've even considered trying to find a cheap place to rent to use as a shop and airgun range! I know there is Bayou Rifles, but the waiting list is decades long, and the few times I've been out there as a guest, it was always uncomfortable...

I don't want to compete. My FT, silhouette and bench rest days are behind me I think. But I do want to actually shoot these things!

I don’t think that it’s likely that I’ll ever get one, but if I do I imagine l’ll opt for the 7000 psi version but will tune it to run at 4500 psi with the reg set significantly lower than that. It would be nice to have the option to shoot it at full power just to say you did, but who’s going to want to wait for a compressor to fill it to 7000 psi for every shot? At 4500 psi you could get quite a few shots with a few SCBA tanks especially if you cascaded them or ran it tethered.

Bin claims in the video the 2500gr slug is going 820fps, yes you could go lighter but it sounds to me like they may have increased the caliber a bit ahead of the power provided by the hammer spring/valve/transfer port. I’d imagine such a big slow slug would have one loopy trajectory so I’d want to keep it fast if possible.

Looks like AEA needs to poach some engineers off of one of those air cannon pumpkin chunking teams…

rdpjr6504 · Apr 25, 2024

I have asked but no one with a BARRA states they have the bump fire. I have bought many parts from BARRA as the 1100z has alot of the same internal parts as the ICON and BEEMAN RAIDER. The mags- valves- hammer springs all the same. Barrels are about 1 inch longer . Waiting on BARRA to purchase some of the hammers from the 1100z.

Odd you would have same issue with two very different airguns. On common factor is that both are old. What is the condition of the breach seals? What is the condition of the piston seals? Is it possible neither airgun is producing enough pressure to propel the pellets unless they are very loose in the bore?

Thanks, I will try to see what happens the seals look good, I have a second model 6 that shoots great I'm going to switch barrels and see if a pellet will shoot through that way.

The .25 is a 25 shot mag. The .22 is a 28 shot mag. I have both in front of me on my desk as I type.

Thanks for taking the time to verify it and reply. That clears up my question about .25 cal. Can anyone out there confirm the shot count of the current .177 M3 magazines that are shipping? Thanks so much!

That's a gorgeous stock! I've always liked the marbled Turkish walnut stocks. I've got a Fenix 400 that is almost as nice as yours.
