Other indicators that help you see what some of these suspicious members are up to are as follows:

1) Creating several threads in a short period. In these threads their only post may be the initial post where they ask questions and ghost (abandon) the thread.

2) When you go to their profile and click “More Options” then “Find All Content,” all of their bull pops up in a list there. It’s very easy to see. I don’t care what they say after you call them out on it, it’s there for all to see. I’ve seen many types BSers come and go on here, but the evidence speaks volumes. I don’t care how they try to dress it or who tried to vouch for them. If you vouch for a suspicious person who is behaving strangely on the forums, you also become suspect in my eyes.

3) There are other that I will not reveal because I don’t think it’s worthwhile to lay everything out in this thread so they can read it and try to circumvent methods of sniffing out potential scammers BSers.

I don’t come here to start mess. I enjoy being a part of this community and what it has to offer. If you see me riled or rousting someone, there’s likely a reason for it.

Will aluminum scope caps work on the Vantage 4-12x40 AO model?

TIA,
Bill

I have realized that a lot of pcp/air fill shooters keep talking about their superiority over break barrels air rifles, but I don't really want to mess with all that for my first air rifle. Strongly leaning towards an HW 50S.

Just when I am ready to pull the proverbial trigger, now I hear about all this barrel droop with the 50S. What the hell is that? Next question what cleaning or preparation should I do to my new air rifle before I shoot?

For what it's worth, I own 2 HW50's, both are 2022 production guns bought from PA. No barrel droop, no problems at all with either rifle. The .22 has a Bug Buster up top and the .177 has a diopter setup. Both are trim, light, easy shooting guns that aren't ammo picky. Granted, two guns don't represent the overall production quality, but I have no complaints with mine.

What's your proxy for assuming the valve is open or closed when the pellet exits the barrel?

Click to expand...

The telltale that a valve is kept open until complete pellet exit is when gradual increase of hammer spring tension no longer increases velocity at a given regulator set point.

As an example, when tuning my Ghost to shoot at 685 FPS, I’d start at a regulator set point of 50 BAR and start at MIN on the power wheel. At, say, power level 14, the point at which the zenith of velocity has been reached and pellet speed tops out at 670 FPS, I’d very slightly increase pressure by 5 BAR (so that would translate to a plenum pressure of 55 BAR). At that point, attaining the desired 685 FPS is just one upward turn of the power wheel to 15. From there, I turn the wheel one notch up to 16 for good measure. The sound of shots is also distinctive at this point and the shots are extremely consistent.

Of course, all of the above is with a shorter spring installed for the preferred tune.

Both of the GK1's I just bought in Spain had the plugs installed.

After seeing other topics and in them the same chemical mentioned in this form or different... I myself have only used a chemical in question for sizing slugs and bullets. Not as a lubricant for any other place in airgun or anything else.
As someone already mentioned in another topic, metal against metal and the substance in question brings big and even irreparable problems. Don't use it!
Sizing and lubing slugs and bullets, this chemical has worked well for more than 10 years, as you can see from the date on one of the pictures. Then there has been nothing but benefit. But only sizing and lubricating slugs and bullets. Thanks.

Thanks all for the informative that’s what I mean lots of help thanks

I like many things about the Arrow except the firing valve broke after only a few months, now in for warranty repair. I'll jerry rig something so that won't happen again. I also plan on enlarging the transfer port.

You REALLY expect us to believe anyone in Texas airgunning circles capable of snarky comments, SasScott? PLEASE!

Must'a been one-a them Okie types. That's a rough bunch'a characters; outlaws ALL!

On an unrelated note: remember last month when I hosted a match in the rain and I was so kind and gracious about the miserable conditions? You've got a few days to figure out how to be kind and gracious. I recommend staying off the internet this week, not the place to learn those things.

I should maybe add, when i say ice cubes it mean a huge block of ice, one of us attack with his pocket knife, so some times 1 cube or should i say chunk is plenty.

I do wonder if you can get a slug shaped ice cube mold, i would even take a pellet shaped one too.
Say maybe .50 cal BMG ice cube mold, a couple of those big boys should do me fine.
Also very much hope that this new year evening i can get a few hours of shooting in too.

Nothing but .177 here, but for cooling alcohol i need the biggest lumps.

A quick duckduckgo let me to this.




Now i regret i threw out the small collection i had of 20 - 35 mm projectiles i once had. would have been nice for a bit of DIY mold making.

Got interested in adult pellet airguns in the late 70s remember this was "Life on Mars" time no good computers,no internet and everybody into EU yep no EU either airguns they were German or English made at that time. Dr Beeman would release his catalogs and most of us would drool over the R1 which I couldn't get the cash together to buy. I did buy a R10 and later the R9 in 4.5mm/.177. In later years I would play with Spanish and Chinese made springers. I really miss that era but airgun quality has improved over the years with the lower cost airguns. The Kodiak is a beast and well made and will admit I'm getting too old to cock that type of gun for a day of shooting. I'm sorry I sold my R10,R9, R7 and even that Webley C1. The Kodiak if an early model can be sold, but maybe...

Your welcome for my posting the link but I didn't upload it. I found it the other day and don't recall why I looked at it or who actually uploaded it..

Less then 100 point from the top. 2180

If only we could get them here in Canada

Price lowered for Black Friday!

Big bores and high power aren't my thing (I'm a .22, 30 fpe shooter) but I like to read about other interests.

Nice airgun, nice dog!

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers!

Congratulations! Great guns, great groups and Tony is a pleasure to do business with for sure! Nice pics, enjoy shooting!
