12 Lt vs 9 Lt carbon fiber tank not that much of a difference

Considering a pressure drop of ballpark from 290 ish bars to 200 bars - the difference could be about 200 shots between the two bottles.
I am tethering only, I have two 14L tanks (old fireman tanks probably 15 yo), I never let it drop to 200 bars. Honestly I never pay attention but that is roughly about 3 tins (700 x .25 cal) of shots between refills.

FX  Impact M3 bottles getting really hard to screw on

I have always used Krytox for my Bottle threads and O-rings...
I have the 300 bar bottle..... So...
Push the bottle into the gun as you screw on the bottle when you hear the bottle valve opening...
Same thing when removing the bottle. Apply some force on the bottle into the gun as you Start removing the bottle..Until you hear the pressure release..

Whats the actual benefit of the "FX true ballistics chronograph?"

That's a reasonable suggestion. We'll make 'dope cards' feature first and then see if we can do the smartwatch thing like Strelok.
After using this for quite some time, another feature I’d like to see is a Standard Deviation for BC. The Chrono shows BC and Average BC. A SD for BC would show stability consistency of the pellet/slug and allow development of velocities that are most stable/accurate for that barrel/ammo combination.

Crosman  Frusted SAM Owner

Paul= I still have my Galation in .177. i think we both bought our semi auto Galatians when they were first offered after they were shown at the shot show.

Mine works great as a semi auto but it's too loud & putting a moderator on it affects the action cycling. It's a heavy rifle but i really like the walnut stock . Most of my guns are synthetic so i appreciate the wooden ones much more.

FX  BC tensioner...

Called BC and they said the tensioner will work with stock maverick shroud over it. I'm just not a big fan of the CF look and like the black better than the cf shroud..Could be painted though if the tensioner/cf shroud has to be combined to work. Just confused about what I've read about different lengths and diameters I guess.

Airforce  Talon P Handy little Squirrel Gun

I'll take a video tomorrow and upload it here.

I bought a 177. And the way it was set up it must have got at least 50 or 60 shots per fill. I had a 20 caliber barrel and I got the valve kit put the big valve in it. I put that 20 caliber barrel on it and tuned it to get 20 shots from 2200 PSI to 1750 PSI.

That 15.89 grain pellet just rocks. 11 shots at 25 yards. One was a flyer. The gun will do better than that but I can't anymore I'm getting too old.View attachment 420431

Who was BB King?

I bought my daughter a Red Rider on her 9th birthday. We were shooting cans at about 15' when a dove landed about 20 yrds away. She asked if she could shoot it, sure I said, knowing no way shes going to hit it. She fired and I saw the bb fly right into the doves head, it just collapsed with wings spread out quivering. Pure luck but but she was so proud of herself..

Anybody notice a difference in fx 25 grain??..

My PP700SA 25 cal by Wes didn’t like the JSB 25 grain but shot the Air Arms 25 grain lights out. Air rifles are curious beasts.
If I remmeber correctly AA has their own dies, all of my guns shoot AA the best but the price is a bit up there for how often I shoot.

Moderator for 50 fpe?

My experience is quite different. Not saying Falx is bad but it really depends on the tune. STO moderators are quite effective at max power but at low to mid power level they are not any better or worse compared to some Donny. I owned just about every model Donny made and depends on the tune and power level they also differ in effectiveness. Interestingly the quietest Donny ever made was an old Sumo, partly because they didn’t open up the bore to accommodate clipping and the Falx is much louder.
You are correct about the correlation between moderator bore size and sound reduction. It really matters. In my many years of making moderators, optimum clearance between pellet and bore diameter is .020". Tighter clearance adds negligible value. Unfortunately, most commercial moderators use much more bore clearance to avoid clipping issues caused by barrel to moderator alignment issues, which unfortunately is all too common.

What is more important? Speed V Pellet V Barrel

Those are 3 very independent subjects that are ALL important for different reasons.

BC of a pellet: higher the BC the better it resist the wind, this exponentially more important as distance increases. Obviously the 10 meter indoor crowd couldn't care less.

Speed of a pellet: not really that important until the pellet becomes destabilized by transonic turbulences, usually safe to stay under 900fps for more traditional pellets and a little higher for more slug looking pellets but staying under 900fps is always a safer bet

Barrel choice: barrel to ammo combo is most important foundational requirement or no accuracy for you!

FX  Ergo Vertical Grip install for Impact M3

Now that I recall, when I installed the Ergo Zero Degree grip on my Evol, I had to use an adjustable wrench to clamp the allen key when screwing it in.
Yep so I just went to the work area and looked over my leftover screws. (I was doing this late last night and got cut short)

I tried a different smaller head screw I had laying around that fit with a skinnier Allen key and was able to get it to work.

Thanks for your help

My Dog

Great looking dogs Pete and all!
I've had hard driving working dogs in the past. Czech and east German bloodline shepherds and an Australian cattle dog. They have all been amazing. We have been considering another Heeler but I'm not sure I have the energy LOL
For now we have a slightly less high drive K9 sharing our home.
Cheers
