I bought a screw in double spinner on Amazon to replace my old one that was bending from pellet strikes. This one from Do All Outdoors seems pretty sturdy, rated for .22cal rimfire, and is on sale on Amazon for $13.58. After getting the 1st one and seeing the thickness, I ordered 2 more.

For me, I’d rather not be disconnecting and reconnecting the probe with the quick connect, it’s always attached to the whip and ready when I need it. The plug provides a more finished look on my gun, almost invisible unless you’re looking for it. I don’t think there’s an advantage either way...

I printed a 3D plug that I leave in the port until I’m ready to refill. With the Tactical you can fill from either side, so I just push the plug out with the probe.

I was looking for one but didn’t like the design or price on a piece of plastic with a hole in it. It was pretty simple, just needed a little trial and error to get the sizing right, a tenth of a millimeter makes all the difference. It’s a 6.6mm hole for the 1st 26mm and 6.1mm for the bottom part.

I was concerned about my fill probe getting dirty sitting exposed while target practicing, so I designed a 3D dust cover. It fits loosely over the O-ring section but is a snug fit on the metal closest to the whip. I only had to print 3 before i got the dimensions correct, not bad for a rookie. I...

My design is based on a 3l carbon fiber bottle. The cradle is a couple of millimeters larger than the radius of the bottle and is a perfect fit, each post is 10mm thick so should not put any pressure on the bottle. Not sure how TinkerCad works, but once the posts are raised, create a circle...

I measured my fill probe on the DRS Tactical and 3D printed a cover. It’s tight on the metal next to the whip and secure, but loose at the orings. I’ll be putting it up on thingiverse later so others can download the model.

Evidently this gun really likes this tune. I shoot 1” paper dots stuck to gongs at 55, 60 and 75ds; today I was hitting the dots at 75yds, then I was able to hit the left over pieces that were 1/4”-1/2” size. With a fill of 225bar, it is at 150bar after 30 shots. First shot after sitting or...

I uploaded a 3mf file to thingiverse that should be able to download straight to the slicer.

I watched a tutorial on YouTube, and paused and replayed until it finished my cradle. There is a learning curve but it’s kind of fun figuring out how to accomplish the various tasks. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

I designed a 3D cradle to secure my air tank to my shooting bench. It's raining so I got creative, great accomplishment for someone who knows nothing about 3D printing.

I designed a cradle to keep my air tank from rolling around on my shooting bench, it attaches with a 8x1" panhead screw. I'm new at this 3D stuff but this cradle appears to work. Designed in FreeCAD and saved as a 3mf to print on my Elegoo Centuri Carbon. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7107837

Been shooting off a folding table on my back deck with occasional clipping on the top rail when I don’t raise the bipod high enough. I finally got motivated and cut out a section of top rail and built a proper bench, lfe is so much better.

I had another issue with the chrony and had to start over on the tune. I started with a regulator pressure of 85bar (I thought I was at 90bar but my old eyes can’t see those tiny marks very well) and reached a plateau of 934fps at that regulator pressure, so I backed the hammer down until I got...

Never heard of the “knee”, as most of the YouTube tuning videos suggest finding the plateau and that’s your balance between pressure and hammer spring. I decided to adjust to the knee on my .25 DRS Tactical, I found the plateau at 934fps at 90bar, adjusted the hammer spring wheel down til I got...
