Light showing of 4 shooters today. After wearing shorts most of the week, today we had to bundle up. It was cold, windy and switchy.

Are you sure you didn’t use [email protected] ? That one recently got kicked back to me undeliverable. [email protected] worked and they responded pretty promptly

Good morning,
I also have a Lawrence of Arabia .177 springer and the previous owner had changed the spring guide.
This one is very smooth and consistent.
I picked up the Legion from bullseyesouth.com on a great sale but it felt dry and a bit buzzy so I thought I'd try the ram.
The ram is smoother and I feel that I'm getting a quicker pulse and a more solid audible crack on firing.
I've got some more work to do with it, but the sights made the most
significant improvement.
The fiber optic sights provided with it are OK for coarse work but the premium sites and the Williams micrometer rear really made things happen.
I love the open sights because it keeps me challenged, so if you can upgrade the sights or put on a good scope and you'll have
one fantastic rifle there!
Beware of the NECCO wafers, they're addictive, and tasty!
Happy shooting!!

Ha that’s a contraption I built years ago to hold shoes. I remodeled my closet and never put it back up.

I never thought about thattt

After what an American partner did to FX, the total collapse of checks and balances following the coming midterms, and the big retribution following the next presidential election ...... you would be concidered an absolute imbecile by your board or partners if you even suggested investing in a manufacturing facility in the U.S.

Loose wire at the power switch, or loose bullet connector.

Unfortunately, not. I will have to wait until the problem is able to be duplicated often enough to locate.

I'm fascinated by the Diana Airbug, but at the same time I have still much to learn with the guns I already have. I'm thinking that the Airbug is "quite different" so I would need to "learn other things" , and probably I need to focus on improving my skills with "traditional" pistols.
Am I wrong? For example, is it comfortable to use the Airbug with a normal two handed pistol grip and stance, or is the "Olympic style" needed?

You can use either. I also use a rest sometimes.

I’ve have 2 daystate reveres and have had 0 problems with them.
Had 2 fx mavericks ok in bigger cal 177 sucked. Still have a m3 but i don’t shoot it much. Never had airgun technology. But now i have a pair of brk ghosts and am very happy with them they shoot well and I’ve had 0 problems in the last 2 years! Ask me what to get?

Hi all,

I just picked up a Vantage IR 2-7x32 AO with a mil dot reticle.

My understanding is that the mill dot reticle on Hawke scopes would be accurate at 10x. Am I correct in thinking then, that I would need to multiply the mil values I get in chair gun by 0.7 if the scope is at 7x zoom?

Thanks,

Ideally, more than reg pressure, less than maximum pressure.

I have 3, 4x16x44 , no complaints! One on my 17 Hornet

The Uragan 2 is a very very good example of this. Late model after some redesigns just before the U3 are ok, but again perfect example.

I can't disagree with you, and you're 100% correct!! We don't NEED this new gun now, and should know better and just wait... Let the 'other guys' beta test for us!

But, as I type this, I'm still debating a pre-order... .

BTW, was the Uragan 2 that bad when it first came out? I'm not familiar with that gun.

Sweden and Denmark too, need skilled people, even just regular trade educated people.

I have been playing around with a couple different ideas on a better butt plate assembly for my Ghost. I tried the first iteration a couple weeks ago at my first field target match. Well, first with my own gun and gear

I liked how the first one felt and how the rifle mounted to my shoulder, but decided to tweak it a little for version two.
Adjustable length of pull, via different thickness spacers. About 10 degrees of adjustment for cant, and about 1 inch of height available. I tried to get it as close to what I thought I'd like, so the adjustments are only for fine tuning. I have it pretty dialed in now, similar to chassis on a couple of my regular powder rifles.

Made from scrap oak, but different pieces had different grain and color. It didn't look right with the rest of the rifle, so I painted it with some hammer texture Krylon.
Had some leftover grip tape from a baseball bat for a couple soft rubber patches to make the rear plate less slippery.

I may thread a hole in the bottom for some type of bag rider, but mostly I am shooting from sticks.

Loving the Ghost, can't wait to try more field target matches!
Lots to figure out and improve on, but the rifle is awesome!!!

These are good results. -blbr

I guess this probably doesn't belong, but I have heard about the bc calculator before being unavailable because of political reasons.. so is the attaman ap16 compact.. now if we could just get the moderators on the forum to remove the political reasons why we can or can not get a certain thing it would be awesome.. but again that's wishful thinking..

if any of you moderators read this you are doing a awesome job with this site..

I guess I'm just lamenting that we even have to be affected by political things even if we don't care to.
hope you all are doing great. have a great evening

Would someone kindly explain to me the reason for changing the water?

I have an Omega Trail Charger, which I believe is a fairly similar design, and it has been sitting rarely used for about a year and a half. Before that it was used fairly often for a couple years. Anyway, I have never changed it's water. Upon inspection, it still resembles clean water. Has it's thermal cooling properties changed over time?

If you own this or probably the 18X version do you know the answer? The sunshade for this scope is stupid expensive, Like around $50 So...
I was going through my 50mm sunshades and can't find one that fits the objective of this scope.
I no longer have a 50mm objective Athlon or would check that.
Does anyone know if there is a sunshade that fits?

BTW this scope has extremely clear glass.. Very nice.

Have 6. All have just been cleaned..never polished.

I kinda regret selling mine in wood. It was the Varmint from MRodAir.

Yup, when I put the night vision video scope on my Blitz w/ donnyfl Ronin I was looking for wheels as the next accy. I opted for a tripod instead. I think it is pushing 15 lbs. The tripod is very helpful.

They are kits. There was a den of them in my parents yard for a while and I enjoyed watching them. They did no harm at all, didn’t leave a mess and later in the season the whole family moved on.

I spent some time yesterday doing some trial , and error tuning on my .22 cal Guantlet 2 SL , and wanted to share what I found with anyone else messing around with theirs.
First there is no need to adjust the belliview spring washer stack as there are 3 shims that are easy to get to , and as a matter of fact the stack is contained by a white O ring that holds it in place , so the configuration can't be messed up , or washers lost . I started by removing the 2 blue shims. That change alone had the Guantlet shooting 14.3 grain Crosman Premier HP really well.
Then I replaced 1 blue shims , and that had the rifle shooting the 16 grain with excellent accuracy. Next I tried removing the brown shim , and replaced the 2 blue shims. Even though the velocity wasn't at 890 fps accuracy was very impressive. The first pic is the Crosman Premier groups.
The second pic shows the last 2 groups 1 , and 2 with the 18 grain field , and target Apolo domed pellets. The last 2 pics show how the stack is not easily disturbed being held in place by the white O ring. This was very simple to do , and now that Guantlet does not have to be left shooting the 25.4 pellets only. Be careful with the 3 tiny screws holding the bottle cover on that was the hardest part. I was able to post pics the the "Guantlet regulator stack" post please see them there. Thanks OldVet. Today I got my eyes dilated, so asap I will use the hammer spring adjustment , and see if I can up the fps from 835 to a little more. Maybe my local Hardware will have some super thin shims , and I can one or more to reach that sweet 890 fps goal I have in mind. OV.
