I love my .25 maverick. The AEAC maverick tuning video really turned the lights on for me. I have been able to tune almost every brand of slug I have purchased. 68 whiskey is a great source as well. Just learning how to fine tune and balance properly produces phenomenal results.The gun is just amazing. Upgraded to saber tactical trs rail as well as 700mm slug barrel, slug power kit. I average 80- 96 shots with nsa 26.8-29.5 at 880-980fps. 64+ shots at 1000-1042. Dynamite accuracy at 50-130 yards. 33- 42 grain slugs are just laser beams. Have not tried long distance shooting as of yet, but 68 whiskey has proven it can be done. Great job Keith and Norm. Do I want an Impact, yes. Do I need an Impact,no. I have a maverick which I think is a great success.

I’m not going in with any preconceptions of how easy or difficult it will be. I have lots of experience with powder rifles, been in the military. You get what you get and move forward. If it’s completely dialed in, great if not I’ll enjoy the process of getting it there. Called spaw today, they took my order over the phone, they need to order the Yokozuna from DonnyFL as they do not carry that moderator yet. Im sure I’ll have in a week or two. Then the journey begins…

Thank you again fellas. I’m working on a R 9 soon , Or R1 , maybe finish this big guy ..it’s in temp cold blue to test. (Stop rust while working on it) You can see the immediate wear on the barrel from hand wear. COLD BLUE SUCKS ..

View attachment 406143
It’s a 30 mm tubed gun.. Uk Tommy for size difference.
View attachment 406144There it is next to the full sized R7 that I made, (note the length of pull is for men,that was before I fitted it for 5’2 arms) I made the original my pattern with the Weatherby Look , so I can make Adult sized stocks for grown ass men.
Note the stamping on the tube do not match with the trigger. Boooom….

Hadnt thought of using Gunbroker, but that's a great idea. I would need to check the rules here and other places regarding linking to another site. If I recall correctly, that was/is a no no on the Yellow.

Maybe if you just tell them in the post where the place to find it is instead of posting a link. That might be OK but do not know.

The mk III Wildcat either VP or CF bottle has been on my short list. Ill be following along to see how she goes for you.
Congratulations on your new Wildcat! What do you think of the balance with the 600mm barrel? and is that the standard Fx donny moderator?
keep us updated
cheers

The balance is good. If I rest the gun in my hand, under the trigger guard, it's balanced with the scope and moderator mounted. I think the CF bottle would tip it slightly rearward, which I think I would prefer. But, no complaints so far. Besides not having a compressor... But, that's not the gun's fault!

Yes, it's the FX/Donny FL. The only thing I don't like is the logo is upside down. That's gonna drive me crazy. It's plenty effective for my needs. Proof is in the pudding. My neighbor was letting his dog out when I popped the first squirrel, today. All he heard was the impact of the Atomic impacting the squirrel, and the squirrel impacting the ground from the tree.

They're chewing on everything. They got the rubber on top of my nice sawhorses this morning...

Swapped the Immersive 14x50 to the longer mount today and re-sighted with the Atomics (Hades). I actually ended up dialing out about a third of the windage adjustment I had to make for the 18.1's. I'm thinking the mount wasn't seated flush on the rail for that first magazine. Pic of the first shots with the Atomics, below. 50 yds from the same crappy position. The two keyholes to the right are from that first double-load, yesterday.

Looking for info on a blunder I just did and found this. Anyone accidentally fill their gun to 6,000 psi? I have the cs4-i compressor and I ****ing hate the gauge. What I had thought I set the shutoff to was 5,000, was actually 6,000. I usually watch but I had to grab my reading glasses and a light to make sure I set it right. By the time I found everything the pump had stopped. When I looked at the gun gauge it was past the 40 MPa and pretty much to those letters. I didn't want to waste time loading with that much pressure, nor did I know how the gun would react. So I was forced to dry fire to relieve the pressure back to 5K. Anyone have any ideas on what I should look out for now? It held the pressure and fired fine. Hoping I didn't damage anything but I don't even know what to check for on this gun.

Click to expand...

There's nothing ro do but shoot the thing and enjoy it.now. Nothing broke when you dry fired the excess air off, and so you should be alright long term.

I shoot often in my yard and my neighbors know it, the ones to the left can see me at my bench. The ones to the right can see as I walk out to paste targets.I have good relations with them and am a good and helpful neighbor, so far no problems. Plus I won’t be told what I can do on my property, so there’s that. Unjust laws are just that… Unjust.

Well...you could interview Bonnie...

I've always wanted to see interviews of the guys that built the forums we enjoy so much now. AGN, GTA, Yellow, Airgunwerks... some of these go way back in internet years. "Where are they now?" Also, interviews with some of the known tuners in the airgun world and their history in the sport. Motorhead, JohninPA, Allen Zasadney, the brothers that pioneered the original Marauder tunes, <fill in the blank>. The airgun sport has come a heckuva long way! How about the pioneers of the competitions? Brad Troyer...whoever came up with extreme benchrest.... you get the idea.

And how to plan an iguana slaying vacation on the cheap!

Beside that, I got nuthin...

Hi Airgunners, I bought this Air Venturi Avenger X 2 weeks ago from Utah airguns,
I shot it once last Wednesday at the Diablo Rod and gun club Airgun range. A few of fellow airgunnation members helped me zero it and @rodjava even generously gave me a can of .22 pellets to get me started.
Then I saw @nirinium classifieds post about the Panthera he had for sale. He gave me a bundle deal for his gun scope, transfer tank & FX pocket chrono.
Anyway I can’t justify keeping this AvengeX so I’m listing it for sale.
This is the $570 wood tube version in .22. Used once.
I’ll ship it with the original box and packaging.
Local pickups are of course preferred.
490$ shipped?
Cheers

I have the maverick in .25 and the dynamic in .30. Both 700 mm. Both are very good guns, shoot very good and with the heavier hammers produce lots of power. If length is not an issue Id go dynamic.

Click to expand...

I might add, the maverick is much better if you tension the barrel as it is plagued by the more flimsy barrel issues that fx guns have. The dynamic doesn’t have that problem.

Very good video. sluggin a barrel tells you a lot. Just about all the Weihrauchs I've checked get tight in the breech block and then loosen up to light sometimes very light drag and get tight at the muzzle choke. I'll call it the breech choke is formed when they spline and press in the barrel. The muzzle choke is from crimping the sight dovetails.

I've had three bad barrels from Weihrauch. Two on sequentially numbered 177 HW77SEs and one new 20 cal Hw80K replacement part bought new. I didn't slug the 77 barrels but I did slug the 80K. It was too loose after the breech choke and went into a free fall the last 2.5" or so before the muzzle choke. Oddly my issue wasn't accuracy as much as power. Weihrauch waranteed the barrel an the new one made almost a fpe more energy. I suppose there was significant blow by after the breech choke. I considered reaming the breech choke so it wouldn't size the pellets so small but it was a brand new and expensive barrel. Luckily I was able to get it replaced.

Keep up the good videos. I know hard they are to make well.

What UTG scope is that? Is it long eye relief? I need to know because I love that set up ;-)...And that is some great shooting!

Click to expand...

This is the Bug Buster 3-12 power side focus. Eye relief is about 3”. Not a traditional pistol scope. Focuses down to about 3 yards!

While I agree with AlanMcD's clarification, it is accurate, my experience is that guns with larger air storage tend to be tuned to higher fpe. When that is true, then you have to pump more pumps per shot than you would with a lower fpe airgun. That is part of the reason I think little guns like the Notos are a good hand pump gun. It has small air storage, a fairly low fill pressure, and it has modest but still very useful fpe. But as Alan pointed out, if it filled to the same pressure and had the same fpe, a gun with larger air storage would require the same number of pumps per shot. (efficiency is also a factor but I am ignoring it just for simplicity)

I'm sorry. I just don't believe a steel barrel can be damaged by cleaning with a bronze brush.
I have heard it for years, never seen a single example of it, old wives tales die hard.

Steel is harder than bronze. It won't damage.

I have never taken a good look at a LH grip cap up close, but I have only ever seen two types of grip caps for sale.
The old flared version and the new straight one, also only seen one type of grip spacer (FWB 1.700,948.1) so presumably they'd be the same.
