Have you some fun and get an Avenger 25 and go after them hogs!

Excellent advice. 850 is where I usually start and go up to whatever is good. Barrels are different and even different barrels from the same place will shoot differently. Some of mine really like high velocities, even approaching 950 -960. I do know that at long distances of 75-100+ the spin in...

I wasn't criticizing you just trying to understand the problem. It sounds like you have a gunked up check valve. Cleaning out is the far better option that using water, even though I understand they don't want to have a new user tearing into it, so this is their best shot at clearing it. I...

Probably. I've learned to live with the inaccurate gages as long as they're consistent.

Well, lowering the hammer spring shouldn't have any effect unless it was pushing on the valve, which I kind of doubt it was. As to the transfer port, that also has no effect on the guns abiilty to hold air, as it is after the firing valve. Check the obvious things first, the gauges, fill valve...

Whether the vent is in the right place or not, the hole wasn't nearly the problem that the washer is. Sorry for piling on, but I been there, hard lesson to learn. Don't feel too bad, if it weren't for failure at experimentation, nothing would ever get invented.

As you may know I got a Accushot 3-12X44 on a trade and the mildot reticle is just a tad to thick for precision shooting. Since I really liked the scope really well, and was surprised at the lens quality I decided to take a look at the OP3 version of these scopes which is a bit of a step up, and...

Hw100 won't make the under 7# requirement, but it's a great gun. Crown/Royale is an excellent choice. My 380/177 Crown is a laser and gets a lot of shots. Don't need a 700cc bottle, you could go 580 for tons of shots.

The 177 Katy Long I had was one of the most accurate, consistent rifles ever and i never had a single issue with it. My only complaint is I wanted a bit shorter rifle. If I could fine a compact version, or even a standard I'd jump on it if money was available at the time.

Well I finally settled on a grease for the gear case. The Chevron Open Gear Grease pictured above. No other grease stayed on the teeth as well. The other grease were leaving the gears dry after only a week or so of heavy use. The Chevron grease, after 3 weeks of daily use, still covered every...

I'm with you brother. Anything run by the government......is a mess. More packages shipped now than ever in history and the PO is losing billion$. Go figure. And their package insurance, don't even get me started on that!

I'm missing something here. You did a deadhead of 32 sec but we're hoping for better? You saw times posted a few sec better? You're chasing your tail. Those times are for reference, not for a record time. There are differences between compressors than will cause a few sec difference, not to...

Well no matter what Google does, you have to use common sense. I've seen a lot of these "too good to be true" deals and I'm not biting.

You speak the truth. I couldn't have put it better.

As new and works perfectly. Includes sunshade and focus lever. $200 shipped east of mississippi, west is $15 more.
