PCP Rifle  SOLD 2021 .22 Huben K1 with Huma Reg and LW Barrel

I purchased directly from Kraz Cool in 2021. When I first received the rifle it had a bad receiver gauge. While Kelly at Kraz Cool had it for the warranty work he suggested installing a Huma regulator and tighter twisted LW barrel to get higher pellet accuracy which has been a great upgrade. Regulated pressure holds much better when doing fast shooting versus an stock K1 regulator.


The K1 will ship with full price coverage insurance and signature confirmation.

My ultimate big bore, air rifle tuning, air supply ...

An air supply setup like this is a must have for shooting "big bore" style air rifles. What I have here is 2 45 minute SCBA tanks wrapped in @diamondgunstocks (made by @Loren ) range bags using the @airtanksplus Stikman and Cascade fill setup then hooked up to the @alkincompressors External regulator with a microbore hose from @humaairregulators right to my @airforceairguns Texan .257.

This seems like a lot but when trying to dial in that big bore to be as accurate and effective as possible this setup makes it effortless.

You can get the regulator and the airtanksplus stuff from @highpressurepneumatics , I pride myself in having quality rifles, scopes, tools and accessories and all 3 of these pieces are QUALITY.

HERES THE OTHER KICKER.... it's not just for big bore, if I have a rifle with a max fill of 3600 psi , I simply set the reg to 3600 or a little less and tether right off my bottles filled to 4500 psi and the total air consumption due to lack of waste is astonishingly less, or so it seems anyways. I've found myself not needing to top the bottles off as often because I'm constantly above reg pressure.

I will be adding a "t man" from airtanksplus soon so I can tether a 3rd tank, but for now this works very well.

Help with Kraford and Lypt

I’ve ordered 2 0r 3 times from them and it was always a 2-4 month wait. In the future I’m looking elseware as there is enough similar stuff out there. I like their products but their manufacturing process is too slow. I imagine they farm out their production and just don’t have enough business to keep the flow going at a good speed

Airforce  NSA vs. Mr.hollowpoint .457

Good to know about shooting close up with a .457 Texan kicking up dust in your face when the slug impacts the dirt.

I actually think the blast was from the holes on the sides of the moderator, like a muzzle brake.

I like snakes and really do not like dispatching them unless absolutely necessary. Killing venomous snakes is legal where I winter.

I walk this particular trail with my dogs a few times a day and noticed this 5' Timber Rattlesnake hanging out near a curve where he / she was difficult to monitor. I relocated this snake twice (3 miles away) and it always came back, so for the safety of my dogs, it had to go.

DAR  DAR gen 3 leaking air

They have instructions to install it on their site. I was the first one to get a reg from them for a Dar. I gave them dimensions of my stock one and they made me one. So you removed the threaded section where the reg is but left the plenum? The plenum unscrews like the air tube does. I found it easiest to remove the barrel first

PCP Rifle  FOUND Looking for Brocock Ghost .22

I know this is a long shot but I am new to the Airgun game and was told the best gun for me to buy if I am not looking to buy multiple would be a brocock ghost in .22 caliber. Just putting the feelers out here on the thread to see if anyone is looking to sale their used one as I dont need a brand new gun being new to the game. I would also consider a .177

Thank you everyone!

Anschutz  Anschutz help

Yes I do still have it. I signed up for the world's shoot and have been trying to shoot as much as possible with it. I am no where even going to compete with those guys but I plan on using this. There really doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the internet about these
If you ever decide to sell it, please let me know

Using N2 with GX pump

Looks good!

The "compression ratio" issue is not a problem - you won't be overloading the second stage, as these pumps basically balance the load through reed type valves. Compression load is basically split between the two cylinders dynamically as pressure increases - these are not fixed closed cylinders like in a car engine - the pressure "leaks out" into the next stage when the pressure rises above what the valve has holding it closed. So you are actually reducing the relative compression load on the cylinder by feeding under pressure.

Think of it this way - when boosting from 1 bar to 300 bar, that is a 300 times increase in pressure in two steps. The square root of 300 is bit over 17, so at 300 bar both cylinders are basically compressing at that level. By feeding it 6 psi, you are feeding it about 40% more air, so it is starting at 1.4 bar. We have to "normalize" that starting pressure out in a two stage system, so booting that 1.4 to 300 bar would be a 214 times increase in pressure (300/1.4). So now the square root is under 15, so less actual compression takes place (40% less, although the pressure is the same at the output.)

This is a good thing, but I would not go overboard on it - I would not go over 2 bar absolute, or about 15 psi gauge, on the input side just out of caution. That said, you could test the stress on the compressor itself indirectly by measuring the temperature of the heads over time at different input pressures. There will be a balance point where the load is going down initially, but then rises as the total amount of air being compressed on each stroke leads to higher heat load because the total amount of air being compressed on each stroke is higher too. But you should be fine where you are now.
I must admit, it's not worth going much higher anyway. The fill times are so short, even on my 480cc CF bottle guns, that I don't need any more speed. The compressor doesn't even get warm to the touch. It is surprising how cool they run.
I understand the math and thanks for pointing it out.
I ordered a better regulator for low pressure, and valves so I can leave it set and just open and close the valve when filling. My little purge regulator is really just OK for this use, but they are known to fail in constant use.

Daisy  Seeking an upgraded Shot Tube for the Daisy Model 25 Pump Air Rifle


I bought two of these to replace the barrels in two model 25’s I bought new about a year ago. I installed them a couple weeks ago. I shot both rifles over the chrono before and after. The barrels increased velocity in both rifles about 30-40fps. I have not done accuracy testing but assume it should improve. I bought them for hopes of increasing accuracy with velocity increase being a bonus. I intended to do a full accuracy & velocity before and after test. I ran out of time. I bought these rifles for mid-day entertainment at deer camp and deer season starts next weekend so I just did a quick velocity test as I was swapping barrels. All testing was done with Crosman Copperhead BBs. I did have some silver Daisy BBs that (some) did not fit in the barrel.

FX  Warranty on Ebay FX items.

It's illegal to deny transferable warranty when there is one remaining. Contact your State Attorney General or Consumer Protection Office in such event, and file a suit in small claims if needed. Also follow up with the BBB (Better Business Bureau). Speaking of the BBB, the company currently taking over the US operations for FX has a terrible review rating with BBB currently. 🤷‍♂️

-Matt
The BBB is a joke and so are you. This site would be better without your opinion on all the industry drama you seem to be thriving on :sick: BLOCKED!

Shows

i think a forum title should be Air Gun Shows . where the upcoming shows dates and address (web page) can be listed this would promote the shows and improve attendance .
Being able to make plans to go to a Show in advance would be very helpful and it would be free advertising for the shows promoter . I have met a few people at shows the were only an hour or two away but didn't know about the show until i posted i was going (which is why i usually post several times with updates )

This would be the best location if it's not already in use imo.
