    Assorted BB guns as a kid but this go-around (last 8 years into PCP'S) my 1st was a Benjamin Discovery .22 then a Marauder .22 then onto Hatsans AT44 .22, BT65 .22 & .25 then to an FX Royale 500, Boss, Bobcat .22 & a few months ago traded the Bobcat for an Edgun R3 long, .22 slug gun. Not as...

    Favorite kind of Airgun?

    I'm doing great Fuss! So good to see you on here again (& know you're alive :unsure: :p). Hard decision about the old Kalibrguns and Vulcan (great guns) but keeping the Boss & Royale, that's a no-brainer. Stay safe & well pal!

    Cleaning with a rod instead of a pull through

    With my FX guns (Boss, Royale) Cleaning is only needed once or twice a YEAR. The Original Smooth Twist barrels on those guns are known for accuracy & low maintenance. My slug gun requires more cleaning though not as much as I expected. I have a rod and pull-through and usually only use rod for a...

    Hello, hunters! :) curious.

    "Hunting" covers a lot of ground in its interpretation. What quarry (prey), area, intent, time of year, etc. The more prepared & aware of surroundings & educated one is about what they're doing, the less "fear" to be experienced. Just like everything else in life.

    Air Venturi odd question about magazines avenge x

    If your gun is new from a dealer why don't you inquire as to why different mags were sent! Could be probe isn't lining up correctly on the 10-shot mag. Demand another 16 shot mag.

    Having problems with this TUXING FILL ADAPTER (CGA347)?

    I've spent the past 8 years figuring out safe, economical solutions & fixes for the peripherals that our airguns require. Fixed income has forced me to use ingenuity & acquired skills to "have toys like the rich(er) boys". :unsure: :p I must be doing something right because my fixes have all...

    Favorite kind of Airgun?

    Simple in design, low maintenance, robust, reliable, quiet and, above all else, extremely ACCURATE! My only 3 guns ALL fit that to a "T". (FX Royale 500, FX Boss, Edgun r3 long slug gun)

    Having problems with this TUXING FILL ADAPTER (CGA347)?

    If you've purchased one of these fill adapters (See link)& having problems you're not alone! There IS an easy fix however. Seems Tuxing made the probe that goes inside SCBA tank valve 347 threads a mm or 2 too long to get a good seal & will leak. If you remove the hex screw & o-ring (rubber or...

    Brand New here.

    Welcome aboard! I got into airguns around 2016, joined this forum a year later & never looked back. I've made some great friends & hunting compadres that have been more than generous with their knowledge, assistance & equipment. I try to pay it forward & help others going through the "learning...

    N/A Can PCP Work For me

    Though the initial investment might be costly for gun and air source it sounds like a PCP might just be the ticket for you. SO much less strain on the body to shoot, for us older guys, than springers & the accuracy is ridiculous. Keep an eye on Classifieds & something appealing for you just...

    Here's the link where @techna mentioned what you're looking to do (6th picture down). Talk to him. Thread '.30 cal AGT Vulcan 3 (Wood stock) 500mm with AGT Moderator' https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/30-cal-agt-vulcan-3-wood-stock-500mm-with-agt-moderator.1338394/

    Other Never attempted own custom build air powered anything??

    For safety's sake, just MAKE SURE everything is rated for pressures to be endured during use! Good luck on your build.

    N/A fatter O-rings more prone to leaking air ?

    As said by nervoustrig, reason for failure is probably not attributed to size only. Most of us have learned to have multiples of each ring needed as sh*t happens. I'm willing to bet that undersized ring that's sealing NOW won't be for long (not as long as the mfg specified size would). Your...
