That could take years - or worse, either never happen or end in a confidential settlement . . . . While I agree that the rampant speculation is pretty useless, I would really like to know more facts around what happened. The picture posted in another thread raises plenty of questions . . ...

The highest rating I have seen on an unwrapped aluminum bottle on an airgun is about 3500 psi or so. And they have much thicker walls than one in the initial picture . . . .

I too give them a pass unless they are messing with the house in some way - if so, they get put down. But if they are just doing stuff in the yard or foraging around the bird feeder then they get a pass. Groundhogs don't get the same pass, as they will dig near the foundation at some point if...

If the issue is that it is "air hog" then you would do better tuning for efficiency and maybe adding an SSG rather than a regulator. Truth be told, I often found that absolute efficiency is actually higher in guns when well tuned without a regulator vs, with a regulator at the same power level...

What you are asking for will take more than just a regulator change, but the Huma regs are a great option. I have them in all three of my Marauders. You have to realize that you are going to be taking the air pressure behind the valve down to something like 2000 psi with a regulator - the 3000...

Are you sure about the 6000 psi rating? That tank has no wrap and appears to be just aluminum - I know of no unwrapped tank rated that high, let alone one made of aluminum . . . . Edit - When I posted this question, his original post said the tank was rated at 6000 psi. He later edited it to...

I probably would have gotten it, but your "asking for a friend" sold it for me . . . . ;)

Both methods of fill could be possible, but it will depend on the compressor that you have . . . - If a big fast one like a Bauer or Alkin, you won't want to fill the gun directly as it would be hard to control the fill. Tanks are best with these. - If it is a small low duty-cycle one then...

With Gen 1 it is simple - unless somebody changed the barrels, the .177 and .22 were made by Crosman and the .25 is a Green Mountain barrel . . . . I'm a Gen 1 shooter too; I don't have a .177, but my .22s have upgraded barrels (one an LW, the other a Jim Gaska Hammer Forged), and the .25 is the...

I get it. I have felt similar since I got my Huben K1 in 2021. I still read about some of the new things, but not with the same interest in how it might work for me. The functionality of the Huben is so great that it set such a high benchmaerk. If it were a little bit more accurate I'd give...

Once you are used to filling your gun from a tank, you probably would not like having to mess with a compressor directly as the only means of filling it. As Allen said, stick with the tank and add a compressor to fill it - then you won't have to mess with driving to a dive shop or deal with...

Thanks, and I agree. I sometimes think that it would be great if a Chinese company would do a knockoff of the Shoebox, and nobody would care much since it is out of production . It really is an optimized design - Tom Kaye made a great product. Unfortunately, everyone seems to want a "fast...

I'm not sure what to suggest, other than if it does not shoot anything well I'd consider sending it back . . . how far off are the fliers? Mine does best with the redesigned monsters, and puts them into about 0.25" ctc over a full magazine at 21 yards - I hope to get out and do some longer...

I love my PCPs as much as the next shooter, but if you like your HW-30S and The Man wants you to use .177, why not just get an HW-30S in .177? I have one, and it will do what you want. I love mine, and will likely never part with it . . . . If you want a PCP, then by all means go ahead - but...
