Alan..read your comments..i use a Hills Mk 3 to pump up my daystate huntsman...the method of venting air out after 50 strokes and then repumping...is this effective?i can strip and assemble my pcp myself with no problems but then how does one come to know ones pcp has moisture built up inside.i frankly pump up my pcp from abt 150 bars to 220 bars for each refill but stop in between to catch my breath.is this a correct method.of course the pump requires rebuild because moisture (white stuff) does build up on its base even with that fancy dessicant filter it has.

I think you should be doing fine with that approach. I used a Hill Mk2 (with input desiccant) for a few years exclusively on a Marauder as the only fill source, and when I tore it down for some changes after that time there was no signs of any moisture at all. After that point I bought a tank and had it filled at a dive shop, but still pumped a lot - the tank was more to support my constant changes to to the gun, which often meant degassing - which is not so fun with a hand pump. Eventually I bought a Shoebox compressor about 10 years ago, and that was when I really went down the rabbit hole of reviewing all my old thermo / heat transfer stuff to fully understand what was going on with the water vapor stuff to be sure I had it right . . . .

Bottom line; about 50 strokes with a hand pump followed by venting and a cool down break works great for water vapor and hand pumping. Just down't pump too fast, and pause for a second or two at the bottom of each stroke - this gives the air charge a moment to cool in the base.

100 percent guilty! On every add I look at on FB or C list too. I was a traveling service guy for many years. Always looked around the yard or garage to see what was around. Partly for situational awareness, Looking for things like mean dogs! And partly for interesting things to strike up a conversation about. Like old motorcycles, cars etc. Scored some crazy deals that way! Every once in a while, I would hear, you like that old thing... take it with you!
I was in a garage working and recognized a tiny green 100 plate on her shelf. I asked if she had the motorcycle it went to. She did, laying under a tarp out back.
It was a cherry Hodaka Road Toad with under 300 miles. Got it for 75$ with title! It's good to look around sometimes!

@RickyDB Something in your video struck me. I sent you a PM. Doubt you can reply yet, but please let me know if you can read what I sent.

I have a 22 Flash QE I bought as refurb from Hatsan earlier this year. It's a really light and powerful PCP, but I'm just not a fan of the bolt on it and I find myself grabbing my avenger when I want to shoot something in that power class. I'd like to sell it and use the money from it to buy a power plenum and bottle conversion for my avenger. I'd like to have $150 shipped to lower 48. It comes with fill probe and 2 magazines. No leaks and functions perfectly. I prefer Paypal, Cashapp, or Postal Money Order.

Probably should go on the pistol forum but it was discussed here on a post just recently. The HW75 is one of my favorite pistols. I do shoot the actual 1911 quite frequently and like to keep my handling instincts fresh. The target grip that comes standard on the 75 is very nice. Fits me a bit tight but not uncomfortable. For target shooting, I like it. Fills my extra large hands. I do not think Weihrauch offers the 75 like the 45 in the standard 1911 grip frame. When the 75 first came out I did get one and made this same modification. Probably 30 years ago. A dear, now departed friend got it off me. I regret selling it and acquired one several years ago. Finally, just finished the modification on this one also. An option for anyone with a HW75. Added a trigger adjustment hole in the extension so the trigger can be adjusted without removing the grips or extension.View attachment 408338 View attachment 408339

Coooool!!!! You could rename it "HW45 Recoilless"

I like the changes. If the LOP and other dimensions fit you well your changes make sense to me. If the stock isn't a good fit, however, you might consider just holding onto it in case you ever sell the gun and get a new one made. I like the stock in the video and I agree it looks better than the stock Taipan stock but I don't think that is what I would do. Attached is my latest stock for my P35-22. It's very lightly figured cherry with a highly figured oak cap. But my point in posting it is the shape. I think it is similar to your changes. It works well for me. Original stocks for P35s are plastic so no reworking those. I need more LOP and I like to move my hand away from the trigger so it lands on the last segment of my trigger finger instead of in the middle of it. Those sort of changes pretty much rule out reworking a stock anyway unless you would paint it when you are done. I doubt that is what you have in mind.

Nice looking stock very well done.

I have most of the same guns as @Emu, but in semi-auto in 25 caliber, I might arm wrestle with him and suggest a Huben K1. It shoots pellets and slugs well and has enough power to take down larger game. We both will agree that shot placement is king!

I've owned two Huben K1's (.22 and .25) and an LCS SK19 in .25 and currently own a .30 Sidewinder. The Sidewinder is the best I've owned. The Huben has a better trigger and is better for carrying around, but the removable mag on the Sidewinder allows you to easily clean the barrel and when you remove the magazine the gun is completely safe, unlike the Huben. The accuracy on the Sidewinder is fantastic.

I'd rather have the reticle be a little thick at low power than invisible.

Mine is 511

Oh - sorry - we're talking about two different units apparently. I thought you had the new version 5 - looks like you're on the older version 4. My bad...

I have a little different perspective. I do no airgun reviews (but I do share comments and thoughts here and on GTA) but I am in Home Depot Seeds program. I get a few emails a month offering me "free stuff" if I will write a review of it. I've gotten some nice things but the program has gone downhill from my point of view. I get 20 days from the time the product ships to complete my review. Doesn't matter if it takes a week or two to get to me. The time is not rigidly enforced, they just bug me, but my point is they want a review very quickly. No real time to get to know the item. So all I can do is basically give first impressions. My reviews are normally positive but if I don't like something I say it. There have been no issues when I make an occasional negative comment.

I suspect airgun reviewers have some of the same time pressures. Many seem to get a "loan" of a gun to review. I don't think that would motivate me to be real positive but perhaps keeping the stream of guns to review going is a motivator to be positive. I definitely agree with the comments about who does the better reviews (although I like Andy, he is overly positive but he will include mild critical comments and he sometimes reviews less expensive guns). But I think all of us look at reviews on a large variety of items (look out for those "Seeds" reviews). We need to read-between-the-lines to get usable input. It would be nice if it wasn't this way but it is.

@JimD A hobby reviewer recently shared that vendors or manufacturers press him for reviews to be put together within a certain timeframe. This is sort of strange to me because it seems to defeat the purpose of someone demonstrating the longterm quality of a product or their competency of getting the most out of a product.

robbybishop77 · Nov 20, 2023

Not new but can’t tell it’s used. Comes with rings. It’s a 4-16x44 ffp $300 shipped

Rob_in_NC · Nov 20, 2023

Last Hickory airgun show just a few months ago, I sold off a bunch of scopes cheap because 'I'll never use them' Well... now I need one.

Looking for an inexpensive FFP scope. Prefer something in the 4-16 range but would entertain 4-12.

Depending on what you have, I may be talked into trading a LNIB Blackhound 1-8 FFP LPVO for a 4-16 FFP.

Thank you!

With an oil finish and not urethane. If it blushes from the steam rub out the blushed area with fine steel wool and rub in some Minwax Antique oil as directed on the can. You can do spot repairs. If you have a lot of open pores you can sand in a full coat or two to close some of that up. And improve the satin finish.
