Don't turn that reg down without draining bottle first turn all the way down then back out 1/4 turn that will give about 1400psi

I have tried Meguiar's ultimate polish and the gold wax but it didn't make much of a difference.

I just got a chance to shoot this yesterday and a little bit today and I’ve got to say I am blown away by what a complete and utter turd it is.

Where to start? Well the muzzle threads don’t align with the bore for one. It doesn’t matter what moderator I put on it, I get baffle strikes with them all and approximately 4” groups at 10 yards. And it’s not just a matter of using a slightly oversized mod. I’m already using a .30 mod on a .22 gun. It doesn’t end there though. Even if it weren’t clipping pellets the front and rear optics rails are approximately 1/16” out of alignment with each other. So when you mount a scope on it it will always shoot way too low even with the elevation maxed out. The front rails not a real picatinny rail either and the part that is supposed to accept picatinny mounts is very short. It may appear to run the full length, but most of that is actually an 11mm dovetail with picatinny style slots cut in it.

It’s a long, long way from being backyard friendly as well. Without a moderator I’d compare it to a .22lr shooting subsonic ammo. The pistol grip is way too small for my hand as well. My pinky overhangs the bottom of the grip and the deepset finger grooves in no way fit my fingers. Now I am 6’1” and stocky so take that for what it’s worth, but I would guess that if you’re at all bigger than average you probably won’t find the grip fits you either.

From what I can tell, it doesn’t have a shot curve to it, (well maybe if you gassed it up to 300 bar). When you fill it up to its max pressure it just loses a little velocity with every shot. I decided initially that given its small size and air volume I’d consider its shot curve to be good over a 50 fps spread. As it turns out that was 17 shots. And I could actually live with that. There may not be a decent shot curve, but the velocities were reasonably consistent for the first 14 shots or two magazines worth and my gx compressor fills it back up in about the same time it takes to reload the magazines.

All in all just an extremely disappointing gun and one I would strongly advise everyone to avoid. I got mine at the midway clearance price of $190 after tax, but honestly I wouldn’t advise you to buy it unless it was under $100 and you were buying it as a project that you knew you would have to fix straight out of the box.

sometimes if the safety won't disengage its because you didn't cock it all the way, I did that a couple times. try pushing the bolt handle forward a bit more and see how that goes. but as far as the slot not being numbered....yeah I don't know how that would have happened, I would definitely send it in for repairs at least. they are great guns, but that power wheel is part of the Airforce charm.

I work in the firearms industry which started off as a hobby for me. I got into airguns because now shooting guns just feels like work. Lesson learned. Don’t turn your hobbies into jobs.

This morning the air is fairly still but the humidity is higher than before. The Rifle Round pellets behave much deferent than the previous shooting sessions, it is as if it rides on the dense air and don't drop as fast. ((Model aeroplanes also sits better in the air in the same conditions and glide much further with the same trimmings.) At best the groups are not as tight as the H&N and H&N are much more consistent in different conditions than the Rifle pellets.

Does Crosman pellets behave the same?
