    JTS JTS AIRACUDA STANDARD .22 Owners!

    Anyone shooting slugs out of their .22 airacuda standard. The owners manual says not to. But I'm wanting to do the drop in regulator and trying to tighten my groups. Also trying to decide if I want to wait for the jts stealthhawk or if I want a barra 250z.

    JTS They did it too...

    I am trying to decide if I should wait for the jts or get the barra. I'm assuming the jts will take my airacuda standard magazines which is a plus. I'm happy with 30 to 40 shots. But could really do 20 for my uses I'd prefer to be at the 40 fpe range with the .22 my airacuda standard is right...

    Umarex Umarex Gauntlet 2 PCP .22 heavy vs 30 cal

    My understanding is you are limited by the plenenum. Even if you change the bottle to an adjustable regulater your max is going to be around 40 fpe. They are regulated from factory but non adjustable. And set between energy and shot count If you are hunting just get the 30. If you are set on a...

    I shoot mine in the neighborhood. And have even shot it inside out the window. With the barrell inside and the barrell outside on several occasions. I don't feel mine needs a moderator. I should do a db check on it

    I am thinking the same. When I get the chance i would like to see how dialed the airacuda is for 75 yards. and that will probably be my max range for it. If I get the avenge-x I am trying to decide between the .22 or the .25 even though you can switch to either. it seems the Hammer spring...

    Personally, I prefer the look of the factory stock, I have some concern with the single bolt holding everything to the stock and the wood being to soft. I may drill out the hole and add a large washer, and make some type of stopper to go over it to retain the eye appeal. I like the look as is...

    I think adjusting the regulator is pretty straight forward, i'm still considering a drop in style for the airacuda, @3.25 turns from all the way in. and the gauge reading 2600- 2200 psi, I got a shot string of 967 960 960 960 957 957 957 955 947 947 945 943 ... 947 fps with 18.1 grain should be...

    Ended up going with 3.25 turns out from flush. 950-990fps ramps up then back down. Over 30 shots. Not as tight as I've seen. But 3 turns and 3.5 were worse. Going to get a bigger water catch filter. And going to re zero. Appeared to be a decent group. Also looks like it will shoot some of...

    Any particular weight if I go with the shock oil. I may just order something online but I remembered this morning my original hand pump that i decided was more work than i cared to do came with a very small tube of silicone oil. It will probably last me a few years at a couple drops at a time...

    Did keep pressure over night. On the e in 1 website it states their lubricant is silicone based. However further inspection on the bottle does state there is petroleum distillate. I'll get some full air gun grade silicone base on order. As a precaution

    Over the last few hours she leaked down to 2500 psi. After seeing your post and some light googling I decided a few drops of 3 in 1 I had on hand wouldn't hurt and may help me locate a leak by later seeking out the residual oil. Tried to add oil to the male end of the quick connect.... that is...

    First few months I had it never lost any pressure. Id shoot it every few days. Sometimes only once a week. It's been a few hours and has dropped. I've only put about 2k shots through it. Probably needs seals piled I'm guessing. It's slow . But enough to see it move from the 3k jash to below the...

    Haven't been able to get to my shot string to measure fps. Noticed my pressure appears to be dropping when the rifle sits now. Was at 3000 then after 7 days was at 2k. Just topped off and worked action. Seeing if it is just when the hammer isn't cocked.

    here was my best group showing the rise not using a bench rest just using a barrel rest. 35.5 yards I don't have velocity yet. Those squares are each half inch squares. Best pellets for my personal unit has been the h&n barracuda hunter extreme and then the jts 18.1 after that. That's a 30 shot...
