PerkyVal- Wouldyou please advise the information on the Chrono mount? The Search function here does not think the same way I do.... 😬 Thank you for taking the time to post the information, I look forward to trying out my FX Chrono when my new rifle arrives, so I am trying to prepare where...

Impressive! Keep up the good work. I think I recognize that harvest area- looks a lot like my hunting grounds in OR... ;-) Good shooting! Hi-vel

Ron T- Congratulations! I hope to be in the same situation within the next 2 or 3 weeks myself. If you don't mind me asking, how long ago did you place the order? I am currently on a waiting list… After some extensive reading and video watching, I think I have come up with a plan with my...

Kinetic45- Outstanding info & find! IMO this should be required reading for anyone dealing with SCBA equipment. Thank you.

Hobbyman2007- Nice post! Are you using pure lead or do you use a mix? Any lubes? Thanks! Hi-vel

Drummer87- I believe the short answer to be NO. My first HPA pumps were 'Shoebox's and they used a standard construction or garage type compressor to precharge the air to 80-90lbs. From there they boosted on up to 4500psi. Relatively slow, but worked very well for me. My latest compressor is...

Yes, the accurate guns are the interesting ones. A lot of the enjoyment I get out of airguns is in working with the variables to get them to shoot. Then I go out and shoot quantities at various ranges. With my current set-up I was pushing it to obtain acceptable critter hits beyond...

Drummer87- Welcome aboard, I think you'll enjoy this... Airtanks- The firemen you read previously have the professional experience to keep you safe, as close to the 100% as possible. Moving away from 100% is simply your choice. That said, I chose to cross the line and use a 'slightly...

OldSparky and Funshine- You are absolutely right, and, it (the hole) really doesn't matter within reason is honestly the point... ;-) Airgun .vs. PB (powder burners)- I kinda assumed here that everyone would recognize the application of PB to the lesser pressure airguns. The PB gases simply...

Following suggestions for reading from a month or so ago, I found the online publication of Hard Air, an airgun monthly. They posted a good basic information article on slugs versus pellet ballistics. Always good to refresh... 😏 You can find it at: ...

Color me jealous mtnGhost... I hope to be there soon! I think with the 600mm pellet barrel, this is going to be noticeably lighter than most other Impact configurations. Let us know how they work out, I look forward to hearing more. Hi-vel

In one of Ted's later videos he commented about the bore diameter being noticeably larger than the actual bore of the barrel. This is correct and I agree with his statement that it is desirable. This may make some shooters wonder about the manufacturing, but in reality it shouldn't. My...

Very Informative thread! Thanks for the help, when I get the next moderator I will probably decide which way to go. I already knew I did not want to spend the money on a lab quality, higher end unit, so I'm just poking around out of curiousity. Thanks again! Hi-vel

Greetings All- Just rec'd my STO (Silent Thunder Ordnance) Philum model moderator. Looks good! Weighs NOTHING! (Well not really 'nothing'- 2.5oz/ 70g) It is composite, made with a stainless steel thread insert. Carbon fibre tube, nylon appearing endcaps. Feels very rigid, no flex...

Group: Greetings- I am wondering if anyone has any experience with some of the Db Meter apps that are available on the i-phone? I now have 3 different moderators and have wondered what the realistic numbers are- 'really'. While I do not expect laboratory quality, a relative reading is a good...
