Hobbyman2007, I think it would be extremely unlikely that aluminum drive gear is unique to the Shoebox. Have you looked on places like McMaster Carr?

AEA is not a scam they are good people, i bought my M 50 directly from them and they gave me a good deal and threw in a free folding stock. Im referring to a third party vender who created a modification for the m 50, took. Lot of orders when supply was out, but never came back with it and went out of business apparently.

I ordered their Harpoon on the 9th of March, & they won't respond to emails, & their number is out of service. Go on their website & check it out for yourself.

irritated by repeat questions

Well it is not something that instantly throw you into a good mood, but i also have to play it real and say that i am personally absolutely not good at using the search function on forums.
To offset that i have a quite strong " figure it out yourself" genome, though it is more challenged now since i do no longer use google search that the way i see it is still superior to the search engine i use these days as aside for youtube i can not use google products, and i need professional help to get off youtube.

Anyway on another forum i frequent i have answered the same question many - MANY times in the past 10 - 15 years, but i only blame myself that i do not bookmark some of these replies or search them out with the search function.

And so, i write a wall of information again and again about the same, only spiced up some with newer information and technologies that are available now.

Aside for sitting on my ass and shoot, helping other people is just about the only joy i have in life. So i gladly do it.

Looks good! Definitely a beech stock.

About the AR15 yes that is true as long as it was permanently attached it counted as barrel length. On a Guantlet the rifled barrel is covered by a shroud these are 2 separate things you can't say the Guantlet has a 281/4" barrel. It is 231/2" the shroud is 28.

I agree that what the gauntlet has isn’t a 28.25” barrel. It’s just a shroud over a shorter barrel. I was just trying to clarify that the barrel should be one continuous piece of metal, or perhaps one continuous laminate, but isn’t necessarily measured by the rifled portion or the portion that contacts the projectile.

Hope you're well! Have a good one!

I agree. Old circular saw blades make terrific gongs for air rifles. The larger diameter the better. 12” and 14” blades seem to have a ring that just hangs in the air for several seconds.

While going thru wally world the other day I picked up a set of (3) 6 1/2" saw blades for $10.44 for pellet gun shooting I find they are great.

How is the la radar lx working out for you?

I have a couple Long-Shot Products LTD Micro Level levels and they rock. Its the original eyepiece mounted scope level with leds to show you where you need to go. The MDT fiber optic add on does something similar but it is on the outside instead of the inside. Probably impossible to find unless someone has one they want to let go. There was a modified version that ran upside down like it was right side up. No issues with re-levelling or it being off, the thing is solid and I trusted it in high level competition situations 100%. Has two settings for sensitivity (bench and field) and is easy to see when looking through the scope. Can't believe it took so many years for this item to be duplicated (and it really hasn't been).

With the crazy egg prices right now my daughter and I decided to do something a little different for Easter eggs this year. I got out some scrap steel and the plasma cutter and welder and she is the artist with the paint. I painted some too but the good ones are hers . We’re going to shoot them tomorrow and then we’ll paint them again next year. Here are a few photos to show the progression of our project. I started with a cardboard egg as a template and most of the steel is .125”.

I also have a Notos that also got the bottle treatment $30 plemun $ 120 drop block regulator $112 300 cc bottle
$512 for gun plus addons still 800fps for 180 shots so bang for the buck the Chaser is hard to beat longer barrel better trigger
They are both very accurate

Thanks for that probably the same issue.hoping umarex covers this under warranty

Fingers crossed for you. Grrr, I shot my new Chronograph last night, destroying it. I contacted the vendor and they gave me a 1/3 credit on it...as usual no parts available. I will jerry rig the LED light bars off the new one I shot to my old Shooting Chrony. Heck the old Chrony will take hits....other than the display.

Wait, when you say “fires as if I’m out of air”, do you mean just clicking the hammer but nothing happens? Not even a little air?! If so, then hammer is obviously not opening the valve since your reg/plenum gauge is reading pressure. Could be a bent/broken valve pin then or something blocking the hammer.

25.5 FPE low power ? no comment .

LOL! Yes, 'relatively' - relative to what the GK1 is capable of.

Spike_9 · Apr 19, 2025

That is great news. I found that generic one piece riser type on ebay. Amazon has them too. I hope the trade war gets sorted soon and it doesn't hurt Piny Airguns too badly. I like to seem them expand their airgun line so I don't have to use Krale.

Trucker3573 · Apr 21, 2025

Just received my cs4. Something to note that I learned right off the bat. First use was going to be a top off of a 6.8L. I let it run til the gauge on the cs4 was about 3500 psi as there was 3k in the scba. Then I opened the valve on the tank. The cs4 immediately stopped. The next try even though the cs4 line pressure was above the tank pressure I opened the tank valve very slowly easing a little at a time. No problem at all when I did it that way. Been going like 45 minutes and I’m just a touch over 4k. Open your tanks slowly as to not overwhelm the machine.

OldVet · Apr 22, 2025

I'm glad the guage is on the left side because I can see it much easier.
I shot these .22 Crow Magnums at around 950 fps got 70 shots 14 five shot groups. Filled it to 4,400 psi
70 shots brought it down to 2,100 psi
still above the 1,900 reg pressure. Going to restack the belliview washers try to get the 18 grains down to 890 , or so the 950 too hot.

The intent of the sportsman class was to have factory produced slug guns go against factory produced Rimfire with no cost limit. That turned out to be ridiculously optimistic on the airgun side. Not a single factory slug gun in 4 years has been able to keep up with even the low cost factory Rimfires....let alone the match rimfires in sportsman.

Continuing to do the same thing doesn't make sense on any level.

Is a rule change coming to score the "Match RF rifles and Match .22 slug guns" in sportsman class with the Pro plug? It might allow the pellet rifle shooters a chance to even things up.

CactusPilot · Apr 22, 2025

Thanks for the upgraded trigger option. Class act to offer the free upgrade.

Its nice to hear! My buddy @PA_AirHead just had his two FX rifles worked on over at Cape Fear and had nothing but good to say.
