I agree completely. The Blue Streak was my first "real" pellet rifle. I found a NOS 1973 Blue Streak rifle still in the original box. Never been shot. I traded him a beat up R9 and I ran out of the building before he realized I had stolen his rifle.

Is anyone shooting the JSB 25.39 Monster pellets @890fps outta their Impact M4 22.cal compact 500mm if so what is your tune setting
Valve line
Reg.
Micro
Macro

I didn’t know that you could still uncheck the box. I looked for a way to opt out and couldn’t find one on my last order.

It’s on the second screen. I placed and order this morning and had to find it. Sneaky sneaky

Yeah, I have the TNC635R and that's one of the reasons I went with a riser instead. The other is the price. Just can't justify the price of that thing.

Try rebuilding the regulator. Could be a damaged oring.

Was just very sensitive to hammer spring tension. Much like the uragan 1. Got the issues solved. <1.5FPS now.

I haven't been able to test at the range. The mag is too narrow to allow .218's into it without a lot of pressure.
My other 550mm cz un-ckoked barrel (epic, taipan vet II ... .22) like .218's
Assuming the barrel in the Slash likes .218's as well but they might even get sized down below .218 from the tight magazine and I have no idea if .217's would work as well as .218 (might)

I'm not surprised at all. I am convinced most manufacturers think barrels are exact. I'm already considering using the pellet mags to fit bigger slugs. It's obvious they are looking to fit bore diameter.

Any 18" Crosman barrels for 1322?

The rifle rest I JUST finished after 4 days of trial fitting & error, works OK, but there are some shortcomings.

First off, the rear of the rest is too thick. I'm not able to correctly place my face against the cheek of the stock, so my alignment is way off when looking through the scope.

The 'feet,' are made up of triple-layer 2×6×10 boards (front) and triple-layer 2×4×5 boards (rear), with the rear foot height adjustable. They are very steady, but add more weight than I'd like, and with any tilt at all, they only rest on the corner of the boards, not flat.

And finally, the 2×4×24 "backbone" looks like Swiss Cheese from all the screws that I used to attach the different supports, then decided they would work better elsewhere.

I have more than enough scrap wood to competely build a new one, so that's what I'm going to do.

The biggest change will be the support feet. Instead of layered 2×6 and 2×4 boards, I found several feet of 2" (id) PVC pipe.

I'm thinking that I could cut 2, 10" pieces and 2, 5" pieces, double them up and then attach them to the frame as the feet. The curved surface will give a more consistent (but still small) contact patch on the shooting bench, and I will attach rubber pads (like furniture feet pads) to give the tubular feet better grip.

Hopefully I will have V2 pictures this evening.

Another way to clarify a bit. I would use the macro more on a tuned gun to adjust power to a situation , where as the micro is what is concentrated on more for tuning.

Bayonet, that’s a good one!

The two-yarder was a young, dumb one who came up to my shooting position. I didn’t use Strelok or even the scope, just by guess & by golly. That one took two shots.

Landowner said he’s tried rimfire but after one shot they all disappear for the day. I love my quiet and accurate rifle!

.17 HMR from 100+ yards is easy, by the time they figure out what's happening, it's all over. I used a Savage A17.

Can anyone recommend what to set my new huma reg at to shot 30gr for my vulcan 3

Thanks guys looks like Amazon only for me. Direct from gx to Honolulu shipping was 200. I'll look around for options.

Fly said:

That’s great to hear. The price is better than many others.The only down side I can see, is availability. Does not
seem to be many dealers ? Amazon carry,s some sizes, but they did not have 29.63 gram.

AoA carries JTS and AEA ammo.

Yes you have the option for both you can check it out here on the website under reticle view.

I'm sure it has something to do with protecting a revenue stream. Probably want you to buy a tophat and bottle if you wanted to put a CF bottle on the gun.

Niksan has the rear bottle and adapter on the Escalade rifle thread locked.

AF might counter that since the CF bottle is at a higher pressure, it needs a valve tuned for that, and so they only provide the correct valve-tank combinations. One downside to something that is idiot-easy to work on is that idiots will work on them. They could still have revenue if they sold bottles and valves separately, but then might be responsible for the mis-use of those items. The 3000 psi valve on a carbon bottle is one thing, but a 4500 psi valve on an aluminum bottle... somebody, somewhere will fill that to 4500 psi.

I'm going to try one. From Cpt_Willson , and be doing a post on it soon they are metal as well.

Well I, like others had no idea of the situation. From now on ill buy Orion.

The decision is easier as their are better mags out there. I've only had feeding problems with two brands.....factory & Fox.

I'm recently retired and finally have more time for my hobbies. Are there any PCP airgun groups or get togethers in Virginia? I live in Ruther Glen halfway between Richmond and Fredericksburg. But I can always hop on the Can Am Spyder to travel wherever in the state. Thanks

Thanks for all the responses. I would have never guessed it was so hit or miss on upgrading the barrel liner. I think I'll keep my FX Dreamline as it is and maybe look for a new dedicated slug gun from the factory. Again, thanks to everyone.

Tried both on a gk1 in 22 cal that is loud , a fx Donny beat them both, more testing to come.
