Favorite airgun of 2023?

Maybe not my favorite, but the one I have used more than any of my other guns this year is the Rohm Twinmaster.
Nr 2 have been the FWB 300s.

WOW!! What a GORGEOUS stock on the FWB 300! Looks like hyroglyphics made by nature. Stunning

No it’s about normal for this time of year. I could be wrong, but I have a theory on climate change, I reckon that the planet has tilted because of all the lead you guys are shooting over there.😂😂😂

Thanks, Gary, your a piece of work. Happy New Year. Crow
Very nice Crow! I dream of the day I can have a room dedicated to my airguns. It would be so nice to be able to keep all the tools and such set up and ready. A guy can dream right.
Bin there, done that.
Sad thing is I had to get rid of a Bob Timberlake solid cherry bedroom set to empty the room. It was worth it. Crow

Thanks. It was my dream and was I shocked, when. It was a nice bedroom, which might of got used 5 nights a year. As soon as the queen OK it, I moved like a 18 yr old leaving work, to empty room and refill with my goods. Dreams become realities. Crow

FX  Finaly got an M3 impact

After looking at some vids on yt i May have the new "thing, all brass in one piece" TP so its not ment to Come off so I cant use my old huma tp from my crown xD

Edit: i think its the new FX v2 barrel inlet its called, huma dont have it with bigger port apparently, so I hope i can take off the one from my crown and swap them, they look Alike, the only difference is that the "old" model used o rings and a locknut to keep the liner in place and this new version dosen have a lock mechanic at all

Other  alternative ways to achieve spin stabilization

Hi Vana, thnx for sharing your thoughts. I think for small scale (helical) groves would definitely be easier then fins. Maybe a combination of spinning airflow and groves on the pellet/slug. Also, this is just for fun, as I'm fascinated with how airguns work. Its truly a mechanical art piece in my opinion, especially semi-/automatic airguns.
You're welcome 🙂

Fins that deflect air and airfoils that produce lift could create a rotational force to spin a projectile, whether it would be enough to stabilize it would be another matter.

Don't think that grooves would have any (useful) affect as they would be lost under the boundary layer of the airflow. By guess, I'd say that they might produce a bit of turbulence and drag at the most.

Projects are fun (I'm working on a homemade slug swaging press at the moment) enjoy yours!

Cheers!

How fast for 23 gr. 22 pellets

There is no rule that says slugs have to be shot fast. Old wive’s tale.
I had not shot my Panther 25 in close to 3 months. Took it to the indoor range and just for the fun of it I retuned it.
I started with the gun @135 bar and the micro wheel @ 2.5. I started working up from there. When I got to 760 fps the gun was dead quiet and was shooting 33 gr Zan slugs into one slightly enlarged hole @ 20 yards.
I could not repeat that performance until I got up to 970 fps.
If I did not want the increased fpe I would have left it at 760 and shot it there. It was that consistent
I have a compact and have attempted shooting light slugs in both 2 and 25. The compact remains a pellet gun.
Thank you. When I first got my compact it was apparently tuned for 18 gr pellets. It shot them well. I had the annual done and new o rings and etc. Now thinking it maybe best to go back to the 18 gr pellets or change to 600 or 700mm barrel to shoot slugs at linger distance.
Ultimate goal is to shoot 100 yards consistently well.
