Diy Measure barrel Harmonics

Every round - or square - shape, full material or hollow like a tube - have node points and flexes - and oscillate. More noticeable when longer.
Tensioning a barrel you can do only - imagine a guitar string.
People here entertaining with "barrel tensioners" idea and claiming results - is a placebo. These tensioners all compressing a tube and can create other errors.
No worries I am not pointing a finger to anybody, I was on that list as well for couple months testing thausand pellets and slugs. And finally removed, and back to a barrel tuner.

GX Pump CS-4 on the way

I have one of these on my GX CS3i. I just place it under the compressor carry handle. It works fine.

Hatsan  Hatsan blitz .25 full auto wont work past 4.3 turns out on hammer set screw

Im wondering if this is an issue just on my gun, Has anyone else tried turning up the power on the hatsan blitz past 4.3 turns out from all the way in on the hammer in .25 cal or .30 and ran full auto mine does not seem to work full auto it jams the bolt handle runs 1 round out of the 41 round mag an gets caught on the 2nd round the pellet gets caught right before it hits the barrel I push it thru an take the mag out an push a barrel rod to and I see the pellet had ran into the side before it can get centered into the barrel it had a dent where it ran into the side before it can enter the barrel happened with slugs and pellets when I was at 7 turns out I found out after testing it wont run full auto past 4.3 turns outward from fully turned in on hammer spring. I want to get more potential as I use to be able to expand the 46 grain h an n slugs 80% of the way in gel 1 foot away now they hardly expand so I defiantly lost some power, Has this been the case for anyone else with the blitz in .25/.30 cal or is it just my gun.

Thanks! This is great info

N/A  Healthways Western spring air pistol like new in box with manaul too!

Thanks the ad is cool. Started collecting these because they have low price in the Airgun (AG) Blue Book 13th I paid $229 for it on Ebay so the owner made to solid return from the MRSP $10.95. According to the Airgun (AG) Blue Book 13th, I over paid by $19; Spring Western value is 100% plus 20% for spring version ($175+$35 = $210) I am happy withthe price. Lately AGs prices on EBay have spiked in the short term. I Hope the prices will stop trending higher as there are many "AGs on my want list".
This a really weak AG. My shooter Western in Pic. I will try the tin can test! Do not have a model 9404 Plainsman Shorty or 9406 .

Beeman  Morning shooting session

I start almost every morning with coffee and the forum.
Then I do a 7 yard shooting session with my HW30. I try to get inside the circle without hitting a line, and then go back and do it again as many times as possible before hitting a line.
Sitting in the recliner and shooting over a crossed knee.
It’s a excellent way to start the day lol!

Penetration of pine

I can shoot through 3/4 plywood with my 25 calibers tuned to mid to upper 40s fpe. But you basically cannot get that fpe out of a gamo redfire. I think it weighs 15.4 grains and even at 1000 fps it would only produce about 34 fpe. My P35-22 gets to 32 fpe with it's preferred 21 grain pellet and it will only shoot through 1/2 inch of plywood. 22 will penetrate a bit better than a 25 caliber but 1000 fps is not very practical for a pellet either. If 32 won't even get close, 34 isn't going to make it.

I don't test in solid wood because it is so variable. If you shoot near a knot pine can be very hard. Away from a knot, it is probably similar to plywood which is, after all, made primarily or totally of softwood. I have a test block I shoot made of 1/4 inch layers of mdf glued together. MDF and plywood give similar results but mdf is more consistent than plywood (and cheaper). But I also shoot scraps of 3/4 plywood sometimes. Even at 49 fpe pellets tend to make it through by blasting part of the last layer of plywood away, they do not typically make a hole through all the layers. That would not change with solid wood, it will tend to split if you hit it hard enough.
I’m just curious because my Airgun will shoot the Gamo red fire and 23grain hp slugs through an inch of pine but I’ve modded my Airgun from 1100 psi output to 2000 output and some other internal mods I won’t go over it all because it’s a lot to cover but anyways I don’t have a chrono so I was wondering if anyone had a good guess thanks for the feedback

FX  I give up on this STX barrel and slugs

It's definitely a 1:24. I really need this gun to shoot slugs. I need a projectile with a better BC and better energy retention for 100+ yard pesting. I'll give it one try and order a heavy liner and some heavier gr slugs. I'll try some JSB, Zan, and NSA slugs. If I can't get a good 100 yard group outta one of them I'll turn that liner into the most expensive fireplace poker ever and send FX a pic of it LMAO.

Or you can turn it into a 600mm, by getting rid of that pesky choke.. 1 each slug barrel. I've found, after watching hours of videos, that Matt Gruber(sic??) had it right, too much air and you can kiss off hitting something with a slug. You need to find that absolutely PERFECT setting, just enough air and not one CC more at the muzzle.

Scope Decision Guide: "You can't always get what you want!" —— Scope Performance Triangle #1

I notice that most of the scopes I see on the airgun websites are not the names I recognize from the choices I made from my powder burning rifles. I was not familiar with Hawke, UTG, Mantis, etc. I plan on getting a break barrel spring piston model so the spring action must shake the scope.


Yes! That is hugely important for a springer gas-piston airgun — a scope that can withstand the harsh double recoil.

When you're getting ready for scope shopping, ask the forum which brands and models are spriner approved (and fulfill some of your other requirements).

Does it increase the rigidity of the rifle?
Oh ya! For poops and grins I put the old rail and AM rail in a vice and pushed and torqued on both of them. The AM rails are solid! Plus having the scope rail integrated with the main rail will eliminate and possibility of shifting between those two parts.
