Thanks Dave, and all the other Colonial Airgunners, that's very nice of you. I hope all can attend.

Hi, i have the opportunity to use one XR200 on 4.5mm and I have to say Is a fine and well made rifle, using JSB 13.43 gr pellets at 890 fps the groups are pellet on pellet at 50 Mts. I use jsb knockout slugs with decent accuracy, about 0.75" CTC groups. to be honest I think need some love on the magazines (they are ok, just feels so cheap and generic), one of my friends use it as his field target gun, he tune it down to 24 joules and using JSB 10.34 gr is one of the most accurate rifles I ever shoot, also in .22 is a nice pice of equipment but for bigger calibers my opinion is that the gun is a little under power. Important to mention that the .30 caliber at 75 Mts is more accurate than some high power guns such as fx king and brk ghost, all of this applies with no wind once the wind pass the 5-7 kph the groups start to open.

I was very worried about the quality after looking at tons of reviews of these cheaper pumps giving out after only a year or 2 if you are lucky. I ended up getting a GX cs3 and was surprised how robust it was. I expected it to struggle to pump, rattle around and be cheap in general but I was pleasantly surprised once I got it and tried it out.

Mag does have polygonal barrel

Today my eyes were opened up so to speak when sighting in the AEA 357 rated at 340 fpe, at least mine is with 214gr but, at 150gr-3200psi this is max psi any more you start to lose fps,956 and 304 fpe. When you match that against my Texan .308 with 150gr 3300 psi 965fps = 310 fpe and max fpe 362.94 @ 3400 psi and adjust power wheel. both have heavy hammer springs. Still needs tweaking, was running out of day light. 5 shots from 100 yards 2 of them are from sighting in , 3 from what I have to tighten up. I was reloading with single shot tray.

Ok so I’m looking at this from more of a general apocalypse scenario. So a little more geared towards getting food and doubling as a self defense tool. Zombies don’t change my choices a lot, but are a fun spin on it!

If I can only have one it’s probably an Aea semiauto. One I’ve worked on and got running properly, of course. Not the nicest but they are a solid simple gun that puts out a lot of power! I know the semi auto is finicky but if it doesn’t work you can cycle the rifle manually. Probably a compact 25 cal with a big bottle that shoots slugs good. Few rebuild gets and you’d be good for years!

If I can have multiple. I’d have a compact Sidewinder in 30 cal, big bottle. This is my defensive gun. Probably a Taipan in 177. To many choices for that gun, I could list 5 different makes and models that I imagine would do as good of a job as the Taipan. And last would be a Huben pistol in 22, because? Well in a perfect zombie apocalypse a man has to have a good sidearm!

Also a Zero Tolernce or Spyderco in my pocket. And a good kukri in a belt sheath!

Edit: Oh yeah forgot optics. The Aea would have 1-8 power Nightforce lpvo. The Sidewinder would have a solar powered red dot, probably a Holosun. The Taipan would have the 1-8 Nightforce and the Huben would be open sights or a red dot, can’t decide.

Coyotes have extremely keen hearing. A young human can hear 300 hz to 15000 hz, and a bit higher. When I was 15 I could hear 19,000 hz if it was very loud. I have read that Coyote’s can hear up to 80,000!

I got the talking timer last Friday and used it in the RoT match Saturday and Sunday. It was a hit. My squad of three enjoyed it. Definitely worth buying. So much better than a normal timer. Set it at 5 minutes and it tells you you have 4, 3, 2, 1 minute left. Once it gets under a minute it counts down every 10 seconds. So it will say 50 seconds, 40 seconds,…. Once it gets to 10 seconds it counts down every second to zero. It was a lot of fun to use. One lane one of the guys on my squad pulled the trigger at the two second mark. That got a lot of laughs. I am a relatively fast shooter and really do not need a timer and hate using them. This was the first time I kind of enjoyed a timer. So there is my review.

thats awesome!

Garrettkq · Apr 16, 2025

I love this simple solution to a challenge!!!! Thats fantastic

R&R1911 · Apr 18, 2025

I was one of the new guys at the match...
Had a great time and everyone was very helpful and fun!

Thank you so much to Wes C for taking time to chat with me A LOT before the match, and help get me prepared and know what to expect.

Another huge thank you to Kent G who drew the short straw and had to partner with me

He taught me something on every lane, endured a bunch of new guy questions, and made my day very enjoyable!!!

Hope to be back again for more!!!

Most people are surprised when they find out that "made in America" might only mean ASSEMBLED in America. Parts themselves might be outsourced.

True dat. I do wish it was more like automotive in this respect. Every new car on the dealer lot will have on the Mulroney sticker the percentages of the cars origin to include parts and assembly.
My new Tesla is truly an American car, what did not come from the USA was Canada and Mexico. Less than 5% if memory serves was from other than USA, Mexico and Canada.

Nice shooting! 3 way tie but all close! 4 great shooters, how fun!

elittle1234 · Jun 11, 2025

Not the aluminum but I just did a zeus stock in tan bed liner and the texture/look turned out really nice. Swapped the barrel for a 24" smooth bore. It's a pretty wicked scatter gun, great for target shooting.

Here is the FX Schematic for the Impact MKI: https://fxairguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Impact-MkI-1.pdf. If you look at section B, parts 35 & 34, you will note they are listed as a pressure gauge and pressure gauge washer 'thin'. Since you have stated the air leak you are experiencing is from where the pressure gauge connects to the rifle, I suspect you have lost the thin washer and need to replace it. Contact Utah Airguns: https://utahairguns.com/ via text or phone call to ask what they recommend as a replacment piece.

Thank you for that! Just got off the phone and ordered a few X rings

I've reverted back to tube guns. I'm a compressor filler for the most part. Tubes make the experience more pleasant . I'm also past my search for ever more power. A good solid tune get's the most of a tube. My 35x is doing about 45-50 shots at 35.4 foot pounds with the HP slugs and 34.6 with the 18.1s. the Katran 177 is shooting JSB beasts at a respectable power getting damn near 90 shots from a 265b fill. Tubes are usually a good bit lighter and make for a more mobile, better looking (IMO) package.

I hear ya, the Huben , the bottle, the plenum All unnecessary. Just gadgets to buy and install and fight with.
Especially since 2 compressors and usually a filled 9 and 6.8 tank within 20 feet.

I've sent a couple rifles to Derrick Wall - @zx10wall - Tenacious Airguns. Very reasonable and the rifles came back shooting better than ever!!

An excellent video and an Impressive display of the Karma's accuracy and hitting power. The Karma Airguns were exceeding the FPE of a .22 short cartridge. I was looking at a new Daystate Blackwolf or a used Daystate Redwolf Hi-Power but the Karma air rifles have me rethinking and have my full attention.

100 yards might be stretching the capabilities of the Leyla 2.0 ... I was always under 30 yards. Long range or bench work just not in the cards for me.

Welcome to the forum, Brian.

I had to check out Black Dog Vintage Racing (COOL!) to see if you are my cousin Brian Thomas in Spur, Texas. You aren't.

But being the most highly-experienced Crosman 160 shooter alive (still), thought I'd share some 160 information. Sorry I don't know where you'll find a safety, spring and ball for your 1950's vintage, second-generation (of three) 160, but suffice to say cyberspace is a pretty big place; and occasionally a decent resource. Hopefully JG Airguns has a safety for it. Worst case scenario, you might have to locate a parts gun.

However I consider Crosman 160s well worthy of resurrecting, assuming the rifling isn't damaged. 1940s - 70's vintage Crosman barrels are capable of finer accuracy than most folks would imagine, and the same vintage Co2 Crosmans are capable of higher performance than many would believe (without proof).

My 160 was in rougher condition than I usually mess with, but being a Sears & Roebuck Ted Williams Match Rifle variant of your 160 I refinished the stock, added a rubber butt-pad, had the metalwork bead-blasted and blued, and used it to beat the best NRA Air Rifle Silhouette competition shooters weilding the finest European and British spring-piston rifles available in the late 1990's/Y2K to capture two NRA National Record certificates and a Texas State Champion title. She still shoots 3/4" groups at 50 yards.

Here are my testing notes-

Thanks for letting me know it is a second generation . Is there an easy way to tell what generation a 160 is ?

I bought the Panthera Slug Power kit and installed the hammer on my .22 Cal, but I'm hesitated to install the pin probe because I'm worried the pin probe won't push the slug deep enough past the transfer port or even to the liner, because it really depends on the slug end shape, if it's flat base, the pin probe should push the slug to the same depth as the stock probe does, correct? But if it's dish base, it won't get as deep as flat base? Do anyone get consistent result from installing the pin probe? I have a lot of Javlin 34gr and 40 gr for my Panthera .22 Cal 600mm, do you recommend me to install the pin probe? If so, how many fps will I gain by that? Thanks a lot!

Revoman · Apr 15, 2025

I normally go around 25 yards, I can see the small groups without needing binos at that range. You'll likely end up with a basic circle as you move the liner to each new position on the "clock". Always using the same hold point, which I failed to mention in my previous post (oops).
I would also not tighten the liner nut too hard in between shots and also at the final location. Tightening too much can stress the liner (similar to what cahil_2 stated).
There are also other posts on this subject if you care to do a search.
