What did you do airgun related today.

[Bowhunter73]

Put the trigger kit in my Notos it made a world of difference so lite and smooth now, I now have it sighted in a 20 yards with Crosman 14.3gr. I also got my Daystate AR80 22cal out and shot it some this is the old 80 fpe rifle I bought from Rodney Hew a few years ago he had done some modifying adding his hand made shroud to quiten it down.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Added some tin can top targets .

Cut the can almost all the way so it hinged. Bend it up


I put these in the support feet of the rack .


Dual action


You can also add sand or weight in the can and set them up as needed around so there not easy to knock over. ... Just shoot the lid bullseye

( Or try to anyways )

Oh' yeah... Its a hit .

Sorry I did not want to high jack your question to Qball, but i cant help it.

Pay once - Cry once sorry I learned the hard way myself my Bambu Lab is printer number 4 - And already now after one and a half year it is my overall cheapest printer, and by far the fastest, best printing and most reliable. The previous printers needed upgrades to perform better and before you know it you have spent more money on a printer that never comes close to a Bambu Lab.

My Bambu Lab printer allowed me to changed the way I design stuff.
Since i bought this printer I never have used Brim - not even when printing ABS.

Only one printer to consider - Bambu Lab P1S Combu with AMS system.
You will never look back - And remember the AMS system is important ... not only for changing colours but more to be able to print another filament type for the support interface layer. Look here at the cut out for the barrel. The body is printed in Petg. Since Petg and PLA does not bond well together the two top layers of support is printed with PLA with 0.0mm gap. It means that i can easily remove the support - and the supported area will look like this.
The change of filament will be done automatically in the AMS 4 spool holder. And you there will be a little waste of material everytime it changes filaments. But i guess the cost for like this is 3-4 cent for a magazine like below.

Software for a beginner - Hmm its a challenge if you are at ground zero in 3d and design experience.
But Autodesk Fusion 360 can be downloaded in a free home user version - This can do everything you need - and it is possible to learn how to make designs from idea to finished model only from watching tutorials on Youtube.
You can always start learning 3d design by yourself before buying a printer. It is fun and you get a good feeling when you can spin your first model on the screen.

Other beginners start by using Tinkercad - but with that you are very limited, and all knowledge you learn will be wasted, if you want to learn Fusion 360 or another serious 3d Cad programme.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I look forward in doing more research to start off this new hobby.

I ran out of pellets
15 tins arriving from PA tmw
Maybe they'll last a few weeks.

I put the bottle back on Zelos , and shot a quick 15 rounds. Hot fun.

 

[Jindodog]

Cleaned up a couple of fwb 102‘s today. An old trick I was told about decades ago to touch up black anodized parts. Multiple coats of magic markers, let each coat dry then rub with a towel to blend it all in. This is just the first coat.

Was playing musical scopes (Athlon => Dreamline, Primary Arms => Avenger, Veyron => box for the moment), and this duck decided that I was done for the day. She sat down right behind the target.

Damn you @engfred! You stole all my thunder!!!

Yes, the printer is Bambu P1P with AMS, P1S wasn’t available at the time but I bought the upgrade kit to make it a P1S. Because I’m interested in designing and printing my ideas or I don’t want 3D printer be my hobbie the Bambi lap printers are absolutely top of the list. I’m tempted to get their new H2D as an upgrade soon.


Also as engfred mentioned the 3D modeling software I use is Fusion 360 and you can get free personal version. Fusion 360 is a bit more nerdy or more engineering focused, you can use freecad or tinkercad for less complex 3d modeling that’s not as heavily engineering focused.

Good luck, I personally like making stuff for my airguns more than shooting them for a long while.

Hi and sorry for my high jack. But I see you agree anyway.
I really like the combination of creating something that dont exist, and then work in details optimizing functions and looks until it is very hard to improve anymore. A joy...

On the topic of 3D printing, almost done with my prototype impact buttstock to add SubMOA buttpad/hook so I can turn my impact into a WFTF rig.

My proposal for backrider. But anyway in the end i ended up designing a simple fixed version for my M4....

 

[Scroooface]

Picked up and looked at the reg on my impact to see it still losing air after my many attempts at fixing the air loss issue

 

[cavedweller]

The quest continues to put the perfect scope atop my perfect airguns.... pairing them is like finding the right snack/cheese to go with the right drink.
Yesterdays greatest discovery was how well the Maven RS5 4-20x50 in Mrad, with a second focal plane works on my field target pistols.
Also the Athlon Helos lineup continues to impress, esp at it's price point!

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I find great value block cheese goes great with box wine after a day of air gunning .. . Everyday low pricing at Walmart

Couldn’t agree more, your design skills are pretty awesome! Im also making a simple fixed version with a mini bagrider for my other impacts.

qball what does wftf stand for. I know what wtf stands for lol.

Oh I see how this is air gun related.
You eat cheese shoot 5 shots through same hole drink wine to celebrate.lol.

Lol . Thats good

I fixed it with a quick editing ..

Sorry, it's a field target term, it stands for World Field Target Federation which sets the rules for the world field target championship matches. One of the rules is power limit of 12 FPE, this is mainly because in most EU countries there is power limit of 12 FPE for airguns. It is very fun and challenging so highly recommend to give it try.

May I suggest a tasting?

Today I had to work on my Tuxing Twin Cylinder Compressor. The reed valve got dirty.
