    Warning ! Hikmicro Alpex 4k lite from Huma

    Yeah it sucks but we know going in that Hikmicro is unwilling to support US sales. I'd love to try one, but no way am I jumping thru hoops to buy someone's products. Doesn't seem to make sense as the US market would seem to be substantial...who knows?

    AirMaks Arms Airmaks Katran/BRK pathfinder - Airgun euphoria

    I couldn't agree more with every word! I still have a Brk Sniper HR I bought used on here a good while ago. It is bulletproof. If I ever doubt a scope, I slap it on that rifle and it tells the tale. Never a hiccup, just dead accurate. I also had a Katran and it was my introduction to Airmaks...

    FX What causes regulator to be same pressure as the rest of the air tube?

    I've got three FX rifles that take the same AMP reg. I have 4 or 5 of the latest AMP reg's and 4 or 5 of the HUMA w/ all the different washer stacks. I've used all extensively. Both have pros & cons. If I had to choose.....I'd choose the latest AMP. I get just a tad better consistency. Both...

    Ongoing testing for proper grease to use on GX CS2

    Wow! It must have really went up. One tube will last forever though. You could use Super Lube grease also.

    Best grease for GX CS2 et al gear box

    I wouldn't go exotic, it's a gear drive, a design old as dirt. Keep it lubed and it's golden. I've not tried cv grease as it's made for a completely different animal. Not saying it won't work, just that that's not what it's made for. I'm sorry, I misspoke, you can find it on ebay Just search...

    RTI Prophet Performance P1 fill port

    You guys are killing me with those Prophets. I've yet to find someone who isn't amazed at how they shoot. Some grips about growing pains as they came out with new models, but no gripes about accuracy. I saw a LR barrel advertised and thought I'd buy it because a Prophet is hopefully my next...

    FX FX M4 Slug liner?

    If you're looking at reaching out past 100 yards, then slugs and a slug liner is the way to go. Liner changes are easy and you'll always have a pellet liner should you wanna go back, or you could sell fairly easily. 600-700mm barrel is ideal for long range, get some decent slugs and have at...

    Air Tanks FX 580cc CF cyl for 480cc or smaller

    I'd like to trade my 580cc for a 480cc or maybe a 300cc cf cylinder. Trying to make an ultralight hunting rig.

    Best grease for GX CS2 et al gear box

    You are 100% right. You can fill any size tank, you just have to maintain discipline. There is no reason in the world why it would matter as long as you manage heat. As to Chevron Open Gear Lube, you can find it on Amazon, ~$15

    Buying used rifles

    Every pcp I own right now (5) are used. Over the last many years 95% were used. I can't think of any real issues, and we're probably talking over 50 airguns. Actually, truth be told, I've probably had more problems with new guns than used.

    Question about Hawke Frontier scopes

    I have two Frontier scopes, both 1" tubes, a 4-20x44 and a 3-15x44. Look like same scope size & weight etc. They have great lenses and mechanics. My only gripe is the eye box on both is super critical. There is almost zero tolerance on eye relief and almost zero on side to side alignment...
