I'm surprised Gamo doesn't offer a military style, tactical chassis on any of their guns. Keep in mind, Gamo is one of the biggest selling air rifles in the world, if not the biggest. You are sitting on a gold mine if you come up with one to retrofit their "Swarm" (magazine fed, repeater) rifles!

Well If I remember correctly 1.75 turns out should be about 145 bar or slightly less
I've used those regs a lot in the past and even made a custom reg tester for that reg

Max out presser on those regs is about 2800-2850 PSI give or take a little

I asked Darren at AOA, he said that it is just steel (not stainless) it comes with a coating of silicone grease, but that it would need to be oiled/etc. To be maintained.

I am debating between bluing or painting mine once I get it.

I did see pics of one that had been painted black and it looked good.

It does have a shine to it, so it looks like SUB MOA did polish it. Black or blued would look really good too.

A Puncher Mega Mini/carbine?. I guess that’s what you’d call it lol. He takes parts from a couple different guns. End up with a Puncher Mega stock with a barrel/tube barely longer than the stock. It’ll be like 35” w/ mod which is awesome for non bullpup.

It’s going to make the ultimate woods walker or truck gun. Can’t wait to get it. Should be done soon.

That will be a sweet Rifle And short for non bully.
.22 cal ?
Sounds very interesting. Those krals can be amazing.
I have a kuzey k300 that he massaged and it shoots light out.

Absolutely. I still love that gun. I think you'll find the level of accuracy surprising.

Click to expand...

yes. the accuracy is very surprising. drt myna bird at 92 yards about 1 hour ago

Do not be overwhelmed by the task. They are fun to dive into. Challenging, yes, but gives a new perspective on the craftsmanship. eBay has all factory parts needed. Take photos along the way so you do not forget something simple. Good Luck! -blbr

You'd best have a nice long barrel, 600mm minimum, they need to go 900 - 940, if they love the barrel you can go faster. I've got a 500mm Maverick and mine fall out of the end of the barrel, can't get enough air behind them. I can do 21 and a touch higher in slugs and up to about 28gr in pellets that it's pushing it too hard.

good luck.

No problem man I completely understand. I’ve had quite a bit of interest in the gun, it’s got a for sale price on it now as well.

Even with the wonky fps this little guns been a tack driver pellet in pellet at 25 and dime groups at 50

I have 2 (1.6L (non-acecare) and 4.7L acecare) tanks and they both have the valve in the first option (in the image you posted, which has the middle one selected) and they have been perfect. I like this valve because it provides a Foster (male side) fitting with a built in check valve that makes filling the tank so much easier as your compressor usually comes with the female side of the Foster fitting to connect with. The check valve helps insure that the air doesn't rush back out of your tank when you relieve the pressure to disconnect.

So, I think the valve to get is the one you think best as they at least 2 of them seem solid.

Nice shooting
A hauntingly beautful place to shoot among the ruins of the old buildings
lots of power in those Mora's
Shot well at the lower speed with the Zan's ..may not need a higher speed

Most off topic threads get locked down pretty quickly. Some get through though, this one below even got moderator participation. The initial post in the thread does have the word “airgunning” so I guess it could be considered ON topic.

I bought this Crosman 150 earlier today at a local pawnshop. I had been watching it for about a year. I installed a CO2 cartridge and fired it without a pellet a couple of times. It seems fine.

I bought one at a show a few years ago , Nice find , they are great little guns .

i shoot 62.5gr at 960fps with an 8mm hammer and 145bar regulator pressure. it will go faster. i would not recommend a tungsten hammer - it will bend your valve stem...

You won’t find anyone publishing their factory tolerances for runout.

Runout definitely has consequences for accuracy.

Assuming you have a perfect projectile and perfect bore, AND a perfect loading process such that the projectile is loaded perfectly concentric with the bore, then accuracy would be at its peak.

None of that is reality. Each complication compounds with the others. Bores are not straight nor are they constant in diameter. This lets projectiles tilt in the bore as they move. Loading pellets also deforms them to be off center in the bore. Those two plus projectile runout exaggerates the rotation of the project down the bore and along its point of aim. Thus increasing dispersion.

Increasing velocity also exacerbates those as bullet RPM increases, its rotation about its off center “axis” will cause it to spiral around its point of aim.

Chokes help as much as they hurt. They squeeze the project down around its current attitude in the bore, but if that attitude is not concentric, then it’s not really helping at best and hurting at worst.

The Hornady Podcast has some amazing episodes about internal ballistics with Jeff Seiwert, he’s a leading industry guy with decades of experience developing and consulting on the accuracy of small cal up to large cal (155mm+) systems.

...or I can avoid another point of potential failure and more cost, and purge the water trap as explained. Yes a one way valve is an option, but why?

The back pressure would come from the release of pressure at the purge and the premature opening of the bottle valve, hence why I let the pressure in the fill whip build to nearly what the tank pressure is.

I can open my tank valve before even starting compressor. Once fill whip pressurizes it overcomes check valve resistance & fills tank. Imho it simplifies things by removing the need for another step.

I have an LP2 also. Shoots every bit as good as the LP10 I had. Wonderful pistols.

I am interested as well. I like the magazine feature as it's great to do 10 shots without a reload but I wondered how much better the gun may be accuracy wise if you direct load the pellet vs the m

There wasn't much to it. Took the little pin that keeps the multi shot mechanism in place out, opened up the two wires that attach the rifle. The mechanism came off and now, she's a single shot! FPS the same, accuracy the same. That's my report.

Hello, any news on tuning your valve?
What numbers are you getting with Krait?

I recently got Krait L HP .22 and I’m also trying to figure out the best possible tune for slugs (21-34gr is my preferred weight)
At the moment I don’t have better pic than this, but it’s good enough to see that my valve is screwed in significantly more than yours.
I’m using H&N HPII .217 25gr slugs and with reg @135b they fly 931fps.
ZAN .218 20gr with the same reg pressure - 994fps
Hammer is really close to its lock position.
Hope this helps.
Stay sharp,
S.

I have finished tuning the valve close to you. H&N 30gr 935fps - reg 130bar but it's Krait X. I won't show you the pictures because I recently changed the equipment and sold it.

I would not suggest anybody start their compressor with the bleed valve closed but actually on a gun fill or any situation where there is no pressure in the line, it isn't going to hurt anything by closing the bleed valve before startup. The goal is for the compressor to not see any pressure at startup. That goal is met. But it would be a bad habit to get into. If you were to do this filling a bottle (without a one way valve in the line) it could make your compressor inoperable. Damage it. Even one time.

So the right habit is to close the bleed valve after the compressor starts and open it before turning the compressor off. Starts and stops should not be against pressure. Nothing to be gained closing the bleed valve early.

EDIT:

That is i did once donate a fill probe for a gun i never owned that somehow found its way into my shopping basket at krale, but that was of course given away

Really want to root for this US company unfortunately i could not ever in good faith put other people through what I have went through with them so many times on warranty stuff. In the end worth it if your very patient and enduring but....

Last night I made 50 hours service to my Hill compressor following YouTube tutoríal.

Really easy.

I feel a relief and adopted the expectation of more hours of functioning without any problem.

I hope I am right.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Chaser. That’s just what I was looking for. I probably would be looking at .177 and maybe even tuning down for more shots. I was leaning more toward a Crosman 2240 type carbine at first but the Chaser also sounds like it could serve the same purpose. I also do really like Buck Rail products. Thanks again,
Kenny

I just shot my stock .22 Chaser today (see pic above). Using RWS 11.9 gr Hobby pellets I was getting 40 shots with a high of 571 fps and low of 520 which is when I pulled the cartridge out. Probably 25 shots between 550 and 560 fps. And It was only 72 F outside! When it hits the 80's & 90's performance goes up. These things are a great bang for the buck. Yes, the trigger is a little crunchy, but it's consistent.
