If you are not experiencing any air leaks, it could be that the hammer spring has "worn in" and just needs to be adjusted to provide more punch. Tighten the pressure on the spring one half turn, chrony a few shots and see if the velocity comes up. Keep increasing the hammer spring tension until the muzzle velocity comes up to what you want. It is common for the spring to lose some tension as the rifle is broken in.

This increases noise when you shoot correct? Mine sounds louder when trigger is pressed.

Fixed. About 305 grain. Just another attempt at making a decent slug mold... with zero knowledge of projectile design. Eventually I'll get a decent one

I forgot to mention that I have it in 30 cal and also in 22 cal.
I have chronograph and tons of pellets and slugs and I have tried with not much success.
If anyone is nearby then I can come over (once I have time off from work) with my stuff and we can play with it.

If you have the synthetic, I’ll gladly trade you.

Would like to trade Arken SH-4 GEN 4x16 MOA/MOA FFP .includes rings and bikini cover. excellent condition use very little on RapidLooking for an airgun Rated scope. Will add cash for the right scope.
Thanks

i looked and they have them in the UK for about 200 pounds but no shipping

Most are not affected here but we are adding a trial Class to allow commercial entry level rimfires to compete amongst themselves and apart from the high end Sportsman target rifles. Some some rules refinements also. Probably a good time to freshen up on the rules anyway.

Good shootin...

We will have a good time shooting this trial class, thanks for the update.

Whoa guys.. you MUST absolutely MUST use food grade!

You're dealing with HPA and heat...petroleum based grease Will Absolutely destroy your compressor. You'll smoke those seals in no time.

You don't have to use food grade.. You have to use a synthetic grease without any petroleum products or other substances that will cause it to combust at high temps. The food grade grease listed above that is going into the pot is lubing the crank bearing where there is no need for food grade, high pressure or high temp. Synthetic is a good idea as it lasts longer and if for some reason some got into the cylinder there would be an issue. The grease that is used in the cylinders should be a more of a food grade type that can handle extreme pressure and full synthetic. That would only usually need to be changed if there was an issue with a piston ring or the like after replacement of parts inside. (normally)

I generally have a method of removing the pressure gauge on airguns I'm travelling with. I take it off completely in front of them and reinstall it showing it's at zero psi.

That typically takes care of the problem.

As Perle suggested, get you a nice one piece fill probe off ebay for a hatsan. It's all I use on my mega carbine.

I’m not certain that the STUD mags are any better performing than the stock FX mags. Am I missing something?

what gun did you get then?

Click to expand...

I don’t recall, I’ve traded a lot since then lol.

UA responded and said use a 8mm X 2mm oring in place of G6.

Looks very neat, Ray

Purchased and never used it. Bought a compressor so managing air is not an issue. While taking photos I noticed a flaw on the male quick disconnect. (See circle on photo) Pressure tested it to 4500 psi with no leak. Worked fine.

My ding is your discount. SATISFACTION GAURANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK!! I'm to old and close to meeting my maker to cheat anyone.

$45 to your door. PayPal FF preferred.

I received the ZAN 38gr (,253") a coupe days ago. Didn't get to test them right away because of the heavy snow storms we have this week. As I write this now we are in the middle of heavy snow and winds!

At any rate, yesterday was the one day we had that was fair and not blizzard like so I started to test the ZANs. I can't say for sure what the velocity was with the slugs at the factory reg. setting as I adjusted the reg. past the factory setting. Based on the guesses you folks shared with me, I decided to go +1/8-turn past the factory setting.

First shot showed velocity at about 545FPS!!! I fired a couple more to confirm that velocity and then assumed the rifle was in 'valve lock'. I turned the hammer in 2-turns and tested again. Velocity went up to an average of 1005FPS over 10-shots! 1005FPS was higher than what I was 'aiming' for but decided to fire a few groups to see how the Zans grouped. The slugs were grouping with no crazy flyers but overall group size not quite acceptable (for me anyway).

I'm looking for about 950FPS so another reg. adjustment is coming. I ran out of time yesterday so no conclusion out of this just yet. The Zan 38gr (.253") look like they have a chance of grouping well with the right velocity but still too early to say for sure.

Snow storm will conclude by Sunday morning and I'll likely get back to this slug testing Monday or Tuesday.

I would say that at the factory reg. setting..., those of you who guessed around 920FPS are pretty close???

I think I've decided it will be the daystate huntsman revere for my first top tier gun. It checks all the boxes for me, and it's just a nice looking gun and every video I watch of them I hear it calling to me lol. The s510 will come later, or preferably a s410 bolt if I can find one.

The dreamline just doesn't do it for me like I used to think. It almost feels like a pseudo traditional rifle, doesn't have that elegance of the other 2. If I were to get one, it would be a field gun vs taking the huntsman out walking. It'll probably end up like some of my higher end guitars that never leave their case except to play in the chair by the Amp!

I got my non-regulated Regal .20 cal right here in the classified. One of my favorites that I shoot more than others, for sure.

willy said:

Tell me more about it? is it simi auto? 12 gram c0/2 what type vel? thanks Willy

Click to expand...

Yes, 12g co2 and semi auto. It came with 2 21 shot magazines but you will probably want to order more. I've customized it with some carbon fiber tubes and a Buck-Rail Diana Airbug suppressor kit. I'll have to check the velocity, but it's decent and pretty accurate for a smoothbore.

Very good observation!
I'm searching for a few parts to complete a proper BR stock like the enclosed picture.
The machined silver extension and wedge for pinch bag rest. Thanks

The low scope rings arrived yesterday. Mounted the scope and first zeroed with a laser bore sighter.

Then zeroed the scope with some JSB 25.39gr pellets.

Ten shots with the JSB's



Ten shots with cast 47.5 grain bullet unsized and not sorted.



The trigger is light and crisp. It needs a shoe on to the improve the tactile feel of it for me. I will design and make one to take care of that for me.

I am really happy with the rifle and look forward to more shooting with it.

Seeing how our high temperature yesterday was -3 degrees, I was shooting indoors at 15 yards so accuracy hole on hole on hole.

Looking forward to spring!

I was using the single shot tray. At one point I decided to see how my cast bullets worked with the magazine. To remove the single shot tray I used a small screw driver to spin it and flip it out of the action. And as though David Copperfield was there I flipped it out and the thing just dissappeared.

I didn't see it fall from the action, but it had to have fallen. Looked all over the bench, under every peice of gear I had on the bench, all over the floor. Crawling around on my hands and knees. It is just freaking GONE! After 40 45 minutes trying to find the damn thing I gave up, and decided to just put the rifle away and go order a new one.

As I was handling the rifle to put it away I heard a little rattle.

Pulled the bottom metal off. When I was trying to spin and flip it out, it had fallen into the lower part of the action. Needless to say I was relieved to find it, but felt rather dumb at the same time.

The only way I know to approach tuning is to first determine the velocity that shoots best with a specific pellet. Just play with HST until you find that velocity, which is then your target for tuning. That target velocity should be about 95% of the maximum velocity attainable at the final setting. So, if you want 870 fps. change the reg setting until you find the level that will give around 915 at the highest HST, then back the HST down to 870. That general balance should yield an efficient shot count. Don't know about sound level, but I expect it will generally follow velocity.
