N/A  new backyard pcp rifle under 500

18.1 at 880 fps will hit harder at 30 than 14.3 going 1060, at that speed the pellet slows down very quickly and accuracy is not comparable. Worth a tin to test out. Also the 18.1 can be shot a little faster at 910 fps if need be.
will buy a tin to make this test jsb you referring?

Interchange bottle regulator help

So I got a free HK army paint ball tank. I know it not ideal for pcps. But my gun only fills to 200bar and the bottle only fills to 3000psi, so the bottle is like 100psi higher. But I digress..my question is will I be able to But a pcp gun regulator/ full station on this bottle? And any ideas on a cheap one? I'm somewhat new to pcp air guns.but I did buy an shoe box compressor last week..so is I can get at least one gun fill out of the bottle I'll be happy. And my rifle I'll be using the bottle of if a hatsan flash. 22..thanks for any feedback or suggestions

Air Arms - rebrand, partnership, and new products!

Did some research on Precihole, nothing much other than sub 12 fpe, 177's. They make button rifling machines/ barrel making capacity. (https://www.precihole.com/ ) this is their parent company. Maybe, AA is partnering with them for barrels and some CNC machined aluminum parts. Wont be surprised if the production gets shifted to India from the UK. Quality is definitely going to be a point of contention, sharp edges, rough corners may be seen.

Daystate Alpha Wolf Safari - Silver Edition

Some guns are more suitible for the bench. I preferre guns that are made for woodswalking. I admit I am attracted to Daystate guns in generel. They are pretty and very well made.

I predict Daystate will in future also make pcpc with the airtank over the barrel and in a classic design producing power and accuracy unmatched.(just about).
Your predictions make come true but I don‘t know if I will live that long.

What brand and style of piston seal are you running?

I've had issues with deep lip parachute seals on 30mm guns. If they are oversprung even a little, the seal can have a lot of braking force and rob a TON of power.

On the flip side, a cup face seal needs a really good dimensioned tube and proper sizing to be at its best.

I'd take it apart one more time, and cover the transfer port and push the piston down and see if it is mostly air tight. That's a start.

Skout  Borescope!

I cleaned it again and it looks exactly the same “ I figured it would” part of the reasoning I used for borescoping this is to compare a clean barrel to one that’s fouled and how many pellets I can put through it before accuracy goes away.

I’m fine with a barrel the looks like this even though I to agree with most that a conventional barrels interior finish shouldn’t look like this! Obviously this is not a conventional barrel.

I've only gotten moisture from mine so far. No grease or dark stuff that I've seen yet. I haven't taken mine apart cause its just got a little over 2 hours on it. I do have a habit of putting a paper towel down below the drain line so I can see if there is anything coming out other than moisture when I bleed the system.
I've got an inline filter between the compressor and the fill hose end. I check it after every use and it has not had any moisture make it down the hose to that filter yet. I'm pleased with it so far. I did add an external digital temp sensor to the pump head next to the factory sensor. I like to be able to "KNOW" how hot it is when its running. Also added LED lights to the water tank so I can see the pump working without having to remove the tank cap while it's pumping. I also 3D printed a bracket to fit over the pressure gauge and it has a LED in it pointing down to light up the gauge housing so I can see it better. And finally I put on an hour meter to keep track of run time.
Thx

Perhaps you "haven't yet", but you will see the dark grease coming out. It has to, as the air line is the ONLY place it can go.

I took mine apart the day I got it. The engineer in me wanted to see "what makes this tick?". And I shared it so others wouldn't have to do the same.

Other  Quite backyard pcp rifles

Europe is not America and the realities of the two markets are vastly different. Especially west of the Mississippi. Fly over country, 12 fpe, is that a joke!

There is no rifle that is silent enough to support shooting air rifles where air rifles are illegal. Even at an anemic 12 fpe. The reality here is to move to outside the city limits or away from whatever is restricting your shooting activities. Which in North America is much easier to do than in Europe. Noise is not the only issue, bad things happen and a pellet can stray off to some place it does not belong, even at 12 fpe. If the complaining neighbor is upset by a little noise, imagine what a pellet will do to their karma if it is found stuck in the bumper of their Telsa.
