How do I read wind and my kestrel?

qball
Kestrel is pretty user unfriendly, you need to read the manual to know all the settings and how to get to them. When it comes to ballistic calculation every input is important and when the solution doesn’t match the real world results then that usually means at least one of the inputs isn’t correct. Strelok indeed is the more user friendly and feature rich ballistic calculators out there, Ketrel is plain PIA which is why I could spend the money on one. Even with strelok I still make mistakes from time to time.

Air Handgun Recommendation

P
scopecreep... said:
Over 40 years ago I would shoot 200 rounds or more indoors per evening with a Webley Tempest and later on a Beeman 800 (FWB 65s wern't in the budget, sure wish I had spent some of my HiFi funds on one back then.) Understand your 5G frustration. My wife won't shoot the Beeman unless I cock it for her. She will shoot about 15 rounds with the Tempest and then requests the IZH 46M which she's happy to shoot until she's out of time. Petite but she's no wimp, I've seen her go through over 500 rounds of 45 auto in a day. I'm in the same boat. The IZH is the most enjoyable pistol to shoot in our collection. Easy to cock and load while you relax and think about your next shot. Suberbely accurate it's ideal for indoor training which obiviously I'm no stranger to. The funny thing is I didn't want to buy it. It was the last one Mac1 had and apparently there was some new ban on imports at the time. The case had a broken latch and the wood on the cocking lever didn't match the grip, just not the way my perfectionist mind rolled. Tim and LD kept telling me I would regret it if I didn't buy it. This was 27 years ago last month, Tim and LD were right. I would highly recommend an IZH for indoor accuracy training.

The Huben's a fantastic pistol. Since the wily coyotes all know us and hide when I'm out and about with the dog it has replaced my favorite Leishy 2 for long walks. As others have pointed out, detuned it would also make a fine choice with the option for semi-auto. I still prefer the IZH for Christ464's application and I believe that there are solutions available for a red dot.

wow Webley Tempest, that is about the only other air pistol I have kept just because it is one of my first, and I doubt it is worth anything selling it. Thanks to the GK1 I am down to just the GK1 and the Webley.

I am also a long time fire arm pistol shooter mostly 9mm and .357 pistols but now they are rarely shot now having purchased the Huben GK1 in .25. You do not need to purchase those weak CO2 cartridges, the power is just so huge it puts all other pistols to shame. Combine that with semi-auto, 17 rounds in a magazine, accuracy way beyond other air pistols, reliability, no more handgun maintenance with my Barretta or Colt and ammo is just cheap as dirt that I am rarely shooting my 9mm or Colt anymore.

The cost of an carbon fiber fill tank and air compressor is very affordable now so why use a handpump or go many steps down to a CO2 air pistol? Using a handpump or CO2 you will not shoot that much as it takes too long to pump and you need to buy cartridges. I have often shot both indoors and outdoors but now with the GK1 shooting 17 rounds typically between 8 to 17 seconds then refilling the mag under a minute and refilling the air plenum every other mag in seconds, I end up shooting hundreds of rounds with so much more fun. Using my old air pistols you would never be able to shoot that many rounds in that time, the fun factor is way better with the GK1...

Benjamin  PROD Power Adjustment?

cahil_2 said:
Mine shoots JSB 14.35 grain at 649 fps for 13.47 ft lb. It also shoots H&N 14.66 good. Last year I shot over 200 pigeons with my PROD.

These are the pellets I used. I was able to source them from my local Walmart. They shot really well and, for my skill level, pretty accurately.

CF Wrap of LW 0.59" (15mm) Barrel?

Not CF tube has the same stiffness. If you want to a greater benefit, but can't fit in a very large CF tube, then choose a higher modulus type CF tube:

Scope mounting suggestions for AA S510 XS and Hawke Airmax 30 with 56 mm Objective

N
I have an Air Arms S510 XS Ultimate Sporter with a Hawke Airmax 30 with a 56 mm objective. Currently it is mounted with Sport Match adjustable rings. There is approx. 0.90 in. clearance between the top of the receiver and the bottom of the 30 mm scope tube, which I find a bit excessive. I would like to drop down about 0.25 inches which would still afford adequate clearance between the objective and barrel and adequate clearance for the magazine. Does anyone have a suggested solution.

Benjamin  Benjamin Marauder Expectations

Motorhead
Joe,
Yes I've been at the R&D / Tuning game on AG's well north of a decade now. Was the one who R&D'ed the use of light Weight hammers used with Regulation in marauders @ 12 years ago. Am I the Marauder Pro :oops: No self claiming of such, tho said, I am a Professional under the description being paid for doing that skill of Air Gun Modifications etc for hire ...

All my SSG experience which is extensive, has all occurred working with REGULATED PCP's. Your results in a Non Regged PCP I'm honestly not sure ?

Crosman  Crosman 2260 IN STOCK??

Dr. Kralenstein
joedirtee said:
Nice, I'll keep a lookout.

I'd like to find a 1359 barrel to build a .25 icon because I have another one in the box here. It's either that or shorten and thread the tube and chop the stock up to make an Icon pistol in .22. Essentially a 2nd gen PRod of sorts but likely more power potential. The barrel on it has some weird flaws so it would need cut down and recrowned to be useful to me anyway. The one pictured has a great barrel and totally different machining on the crown. Built one month apart.

Called Beeman about the barrel but she said call back Monday when the tech gets back from shotshow.

I've seen a few posts about the icon in 22 having barrel issues. They used a piloted crowning tool on them for some reason. My original 2028 pistol barrel wouldn't shoot straight for nothing, so I swapped it out for my kral np01 barrel and it's stacking multiple pellets at 35 all day now. Just had to shim the barrel with 2 sleeves of soda can.

As for my 1358 barrel, it's pretty accurate too. Got lucky I guess. I got the gun on the classifieds here and it had been cut up some, so I reworked it to a pump action, but it had POI problems. Now it's become an organ donor and also being resurrected as a side lever rifle.

Air Venturi  New .22 Avenge-X initial shot string

MikeyJ
I ran a second string of 26 shots today after checking to see where the hammer spring was set from the factory. It was only one turn in. Chrono results were very similar to my first string. I also used the opportunity to zero in my scope at around 35 yards after removing it to take with me to get some scope caps. Two groups- one with the 16 round mag, the other (splatterburst target) with the 8 round mag - both an inch or less. The outliers on the paper target were before adjusting the turrets. Really liking this gun!
