    Daystate Wolverine

    Nice...👍 If your stock could handle it , looks like that tube mount block would interchange with the Wolverine ... Interesting ... I've never owned or looked inside a Renegade... At least 3 years ago there was discussion about upgrading the Wolverine to higher power capabilities ... looks like...

    Daystate Wolverine

    Looks like you have a very good handle on these rifles. As mentioned above , they just don't have much plenum so it's going to be a struggle to get them very pumped up. In 22, the Wolverine taps out at about 47 ft lb in stock guise. It's not going to be a lot better but you're pushing the 25...

    Another Vintage Crosman 101 Back in Working Order

    I would agree with your best statement ... VERY nice carry weight and balance with a good pump mechanism. Valve needs some work though. I've had several and hung onto one that is all steel and wood with the hex peep. Re-blued it and put a 20 cal LW on it back a few years. My bluing is not too...

    Daystate Wolverine

    I'm with you on that question ... In my view, the Red Wolf and Air Wolf have the highest efficiency, the Harper valve equipped 177 and lower powered 22s are next, then the older valves, THEN the Ghost/Delta valves. It seems that DS are using a Ghost valve or at least based on it on the...

    N/A Making an airgun something it was not intended to be

    I'm GLAD you pushed through on the Pistol FT and definitely there needs to be a LIMIT. I've enjoyed your builds and Scott's as well. Scott's valve work is particularly interesting to me and I'm appreciative of the sharing of his projects. Of course , both of you are influential to a lot of us...

    N/A Making an airgun something it was not intended to be

    Over the years, I've been asked to get more power, change caliber, change the form, etc., for things in production. It has sometimes been fun and sometimes fairly tedious and frustrating. MOST of this is probably on me when I've "brainstormed around the campfire " with friends. I've been...

    Daystate Wolverine

    A lot of very well thought out info here ... In my view, the term quirky might be extreme but the Wolverine definitely has some limitations. One thing I disagree with above is the 25 cal recommendation. It has a small plenum so WILL NOT achieve real high power except the 303. It will NOT be...

    Daystate Alpha Safari

    I understand your frustration , for sure... I DO know how they respond, even from the Factory for things they don't know or want to get deep into or even admit isn't right. I go back to : there is a LOT of good info in this forum for someone that will make the effort to find... For instance ...

    Daystate Alpha Safari

    Ok... there's a lot of misinformation in this thread but I'm not going to respond to it all. A couple of things though... Not everyone at AoA are experts on every airgun they sell... the DW/AW is likely one of the least understood and not just at AoA. Daystate does not have a lot of pellet...

    Daystate Alpha Safari

    While I agree about having more pellet options in Factory mode, the editing of the presets has been covered MANY times... it's just not a menu item... You make your changes then save as the same Set. It will be lighted in red to show that it's already in use, but allows saving over it...

    Brocock/BRK One year with the BRK Ghost

    Nice procedure, @cavedweller 👍 Based on sub 20 ft lb and a TYPICAL scope height for the Ghost, I've found the peak at around 38 yards. You can use the above procedure to verify... I like to have my reference zero at the peak, even if I'm going long... Some people like their reference zero's...
