I've been using mine, which I bought used, since January of 2018. I have no complaints! It has been reliable, and I have not had any problems with the unit. I did buy a better air compressor with a 60 gallon tank, which dramatically reduced the fill time on my carbon fiber tank.

Just another option: I've had a version of this Altaros booster for a couple of years now: https://www.militaryairgun.com/compressors/57-altaros-compressor-booster-unit-sheet-metal-cover.html It's not fast, but it has been very reliable. You also need a quality air compressor that can...

Thanks for all of the quick and thoughtful replies! As a result of these replies, I think I'll focus more on the ammo than my barrel and see what I can find out. I have used a pelletgage to check the sizes, and I did most of one tin that way. Almost every single one went through the 5.53 mm...

I've been working for a while to figure out why I'm getting fliers using JSB KO .217 slugs. I'm shooting an FX Maverick Sniper .22, 135/110 bar front/rear reg settings with Superior barrel and carbon fiber tube over barrel. Velocity is about 923 fps with decent ES of around 10 fps. The KOs...

Double post---sorry! Site was slow and I hit submit again.

I just ordered .22 JSB 18.1s from PA this morning. I don't have a shipping date, but they were apparently in stock.

I noticed that here you said that you had high preload. When I have my 2nd reg down around 90 bar, I don't have hardly any preload on the HS. Otherwise, velocity is already maxed at the lower settings on the adjuster. With the 700 mm barrel, it doesn't take much pressure to push those...

It’s actually shooting a little faster than I said, but it shoots well with the set up. 2nd reg is 90 bar

I've ended up at a similar tune, with 2nd reg between 90-95 bar for my Maverick Sniper .22. I used the HS adjustment to set power wheel setting #2 at about where you have your #7, with speed at about 940 fps and a decent ES of 9 fps. That way, I can turn up the HS for shooting hybrid slugs or...

Here’s my 2nd try with my .22 Maverick Sniper. Conditions are about perfect here in N Mississippi right now—cool and still. It only takes the slightest puff of air to move those pellets!

I've been running an Altaros booster for a couple of years, and, once I got a few bugs ironed out, I haven't had to do anything to it since. After I got a big compressor with a 60 gallon tank, the Altaros fills my Great White tank in a few hours. 

Thanks!! Just ordered 4 tins to add to my pile of airgun ammo. All of my PCPs love these!

I should have mentioned that the NSA slugs are .218, and they seem to shoot more consistently in my Maverick than the JSB KOs. Of course, now NSA is out of the 24.8 gr slugs! I ordered a couple packs of the 27.5 grain .218 slugs to try. I'm definitely going to work on getting closer to the...

What would be wrong with setting the bottle reg about70-80 bar above the 2nd reg? I’m happy with my power with 2nd reg at 110 bar. Setting the bottle reg at 180 should help faster filling on the 2nd reg. Right?

I’m dealing with this, too, and I’m interested in hearing suggestions.
