    No shooting today, younger brother dropped off his 2240 for some face lift, lol. Tired of the CF bottle, he now wants an Airmega 200 cc tank. I'm making an off set adapter with built in 20 cc plenum and will use a Notos regulator. Now need to change gears on the lather so I can cut the thread...

    Took out the red dot and mounted an scope (3-12x32) and I'm am amazed with this HW44, pellet on pellet 10 shot group at 30 yards.

    What pistol did you shoot today

    Shooting my new to me HW44. Got this 2 days ago from a member here and needed reseal. Very happy with it, very accurate and quite.

    Umarex NOTOS Owners and modifications:

    The front bushing/adapter is machined with tight tolerance to maintain bore concentricity with the moderator. This minimize clipping issues. The problem comes with over tightening the set screw which mar it and raise material. This makes sliding it out difficult and damages both barrel and...

    Got the red dot zeroed on the HW44 and shot it for a bit along with my Notos pistol. At 30 yards, they are both equal in accuracy to me. I'm shooting off a vise to limit operator error, lol. Now I'll have to wait for next months check so I can by a scope for it. The down side of retirement, I...

    Just got an HW44 from a member here that needed some TLC. Took about an hour to do reseal then had to make a fill probe so I could charge it, lol. Anyway she's all charge and will see in the morning how it is.

    LOL, part of the fun diagnosing and fixing issues. When conditions are not ideal, I just work on projects. I think this is why we all end up with more guns. 😁

    Finishing my silhouette pistol build, got the barrel shroud/tensioner/air stripper done and installed. Shot a few to chrony it and it's got a lot of hammer bounce, will need a much stronger spring for the poppet.

    What pistol did you shoot today

    Shot only to chrono my silhouette pistol build and adjust the tune. Working on a barrel band to hold the front of action down. Just finished the barrel shroud/tensioner this morning.

    Tuning my new toy, lower reg 1700 after some mild port work. Still getting 49+ fpe from a 450 mm barrel. A bit too loud for a 25 cal, so I know efficiency can be optimized and get more shots, almost finished a tin this morning.

    Did some testing on the 30 cal Notos project, then spend more money at PA's final birthday sale, lol. Got another Notos for a little over 200 and lots of JSB pellets.

    Notos customizing

    Spent this morning testing my brothers Notos, we installed a 30 cal 450mm reximex barrel on it. We were aiming for 75+ fpe on this project. But had disappointing results, maxing out at 55 fpe with JSB 44.75s. We can't put any bigger valve on it due to the action block width. This test was done...

    Just finished final eval / recommendation on a new model air rifle. Now I get to keep the beta unit and do my own mods and upgrades on my schedule.

    Crosman 2240 hpa conversion question

    My latest build for metalic silhouette shooting. It's almost finished, I'm waiting for an Altarus reg. In the mean time I made another adapter so I can just use the Notos reg set to 100 bar. Barrel is 14.5" and using a 1701 lower ass'y.

    Still waiting on my Altarus reg. In the mean time, I'm making a coupler for one of my Gamo Urban tank to add 100cc capacity for more shot count.
