Seems like this would be a good .177 gun, no? I bought a .22 semi-auto that I'm happy with, but I can get .177 pellets almost literally anywhere and they're often ridiculously cheap.

1) Where is that DIN to Foster adaptor? I didn't see it on Altaros' website 2) There is nowhere near enough threads for 4500 psi unless that's a really bad angle. I only see 2-3 threads at most. 3) Where is it sold for US $130? Ebay has 1 for $155, Altaros sells them on their site in Euro...

Why is everyone against made in China vs UK? 90% of the electronics in your house were made there. The only thing that matters is spares availability and warranty, not where it's made. I'd generally trust Hill to do proper QC and to stand by with warranty support if something goes wrong. I'd...

FLgunner - wish you could make kits including 1 washer and 1 3D printed bipod rail! 😄

You can get SCBA tanks on eBay with a few years left on them for under $100. Add hydro for $25 or so, and the seller I bought from guarantees hydro pass.

That one seems to be for a DIN SCUBA tank and not inline with the on-gun bottle. If you don't mind a tether tank and can find one with a DIN 300 connection, it should work. The extra advantage is that it's externally adjustable whereas the one I posted has to be removed. A possible problem...

Strietwise is 100% correct. The faster the flow the better, ALWAYS. It is that simple. If you need more time to shed heat, you have to get a bigger radiator/heat exchanger, add cooling surface or push more CFM air/heat exchanger cooling medium, but the answer is never, never, never, and I mean...

Has anyone thought about adding an external regulator? Huma external M18x1,5 regulator at Trenier It looks like that Huma regulator would fit, and then you could air up the bottle to 4500 PSI and get more consistent and a higher number of shots per fill. The only real issue I see is that...

I don't know if anyone else's AEA airgun has acted like it's in bolt-action mode, but mine did for a short bit. What happened is the warning on the side says no more than 3600 PSI. So I look at the gauge on the bottom and I air it up to 28, so 2800 PSI, right? NOPE! That's 28 MPa, or about 4000...

airgunfans, I've been tempted to get some stainless steel tubing and bend it to make a large coil between the 1st and 2nd stages and use a fan on that, same with the 2nd stage output. Either that or wrap copper tubing around the 1st to 2nd stage tubing and water cool it. If Hill can remove...

If you watch near the end of the video, the discrepancy is only 2-3 bar. I wouldn't call it inaccurate unless it was that much off while at a static pressure. How is the head cooled? I assume liquid cooled, but I didn't see any coolant tubes to the head. edit - I read more on it, it's air...

edit - I decided to go with regular 30mm dovetail rings.

FLgunner, you just cost me $140! Well, that's on me - I bought that UTG 3-12x44 compact and an offset mount similar to yours. The scope is supposed to get here Sunday, the mount doesn't arrive until Tuesday. At least my Yong Heng pump arrived - I tried filling the gun with a hand pump, and I...

FLgunner, I finally got mine in! I'm overall happy with it, but I haven't had a chance to shoot it. I aired mine up to 1k PSI just to test and she's held that for a couple days now, so no leaks so far. The only thing I really dislike is the cocking effort needed to remove a magazine. I wish...
