Can someone please help me identify what parts are missing from a hammer tube assembly for a .45 Texan? I called Airforce and they were, well, wrong in what they told me. They told me the entire assembly is: 1. The actual hammer tube. 2. Hammer spring. 3. Hammer. 4. Power adjuster. So...

1 shot at 105fpe, 8 shots at 72fpe (not 75fpe I mispoke). A bunch more shots at 64fpe. There are full shot strings on the video. 

Talon Tunes barrel. Probably the same barrel Tony uses for the long barrel conversion kits just cut to size. Various projectiles used in the video, the 105fpe number comes from a 58 grain NOE pellet at 903fps. 

Yes its a stock hammer and yes the TT tophat replaces the factory tophat. Big PSA as to the tophats: the gun as I received it could only make 800fps with JSBs and was puffing air out the breech. Turns out the TT tophat stem was .24 (the size of the old style tophats for the older valves) where...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rLuY__H7iA This is a TalonTunes conversion kit, barrel just over 12", factory valve. Max power I've got off of it was 105fpe, although I'm going to run it around 75fpe. 

To hit on some of your points, in the video I address that "survival" means homesteading on your country estate in an economic downturn. Its not contemplating a bugout scenario. In fact I think its a valid but separate point of discussion whether bugging out is even realistic or a fantasy. To my...

I don't disagree that there's great survival utility in many of the higher-end guns. My goal with this series is to keep it as simple as possible for the person who may be new to PCPs. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpi4wf8rBGc I've been wanting to do this video for a long time. Its a longer video, but if you stick with it I think it hits some valid points in favor of PCPs over multi-pumpers for this sort of use. 

.30 in excess of 150fpe is just fine for southeastern-sized whitetails for lung shots and an expanding round. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfeY1ZTx13Q Airforce Texan SS .308, shooting 98 grain NOEs at 900fps. The NOE cast bullet is a clone of the NSA 99 grainer .308. 75 yard shot, 60 yard run. The video is otherwise self-explanatory. 

A .30 would be fine for lung shots on a turkey. Where the wing connects to the body. If you’re going to do head shots, you want a light gun you can balance easy on a set of shooting sticks from a sitting position. 

The solid bones are such an odd trait for galliforms and especially chickens, that’s one reason some believe that they represent a separate line of chickens that descend from the hypothetical wild species gallus giganteus as opposed to gallus gallus bankiva, the Javan red jungle fowl most...

Here's one of my jungle fowl and some domestic layers eating the remains of a wild turkey. Most of my chickens are junglefowl hybrids; the wild jungle pheasants that domestic chickens were bred from. Predators can't hardly catch them and they reproduce like rabbits on a free range setting. I...

Nothing wrong with it at all. There's no magical hunting morality written into the fabric of the universe. Otherwise most predatory animals would be immoral for their hunting tactics. 

Everything around you in the internet airgun community is a marketing machine. Don’t ever doubt that. A lot of the airgun talking heads on Youtube are making substantial money talking you into buying whatever product their sponsors want you to buy. That’s just the way it works. Yes, FX is a...
