After putting a aftermarket tensioned barrel kit on my 25 Maverick Slug gun I tried the Buckrail and it did great, better than a couple of $300 moderators I've got laying around

I've bought from TalonTunes in the past years ago (A Texan and several TT carbon fiber bottles a couple of years before Airforce caught on to how to up performance) along with other accessories but this is the first time I called and talked with Tony. I wanted a truck gun and didn't have a clue...

FYI - Multiple people have had leaking valve problems with their Slayers and while talking to Brian at Veridium Air recently he mentioned he'd found the problem and had made a new valve he was testing (to make sure it was working properly) before sending the customer gun back. Might contact him...

You have to standardize somewhat like only shoot one projectile. I've got a Maverick Sniper .25 and I created a 'dope card' which is actually a piece of tape on the side of the rifle that has a table I worked up with the PW (power wheel) number and what MIL dot elevation holdover on the recticle...

Hummmm having read this whole thread I thought I'd add that for hunting you might consider zeroing at 85 yards because in most airguns you'll be very close to the same height over at 50 yards as you'll be under at 100. I like to tune my air rifles to 925 to 950 FPS for slugs so I'm +-3" high at...

If you're asking me due to my above post? Understand that I didn't do any before and after testing BECAUSE I've had several other air rifles in the past that I did test and saw that glueing / securing the CF sleeve was the better choice. So when I got my Maverick I didn't test it factory...

Hmmm, brand new Maverick which I disassembled to put in the slug kit and I examined those parts closely bto learn my gun.... That part isn't there.

I glued my CF sleeve on my 700mm barrel on my Maverick Sniper but I didn't use two part epoxy. I cleaned the oil film off the barrel then used Locktite which sets up fine. (You don't use silicone caulk or such because they cure by atmospheric moisture and so the end inches cure but the middle...

Note that the holes can't be very large or the sound does increase. A lot of guys use something around 1 to 2mm. You'd think "those are too small to do anything" but it does allow the pressure to vent yet keep the sound pressure wave inside (somehow). Use 1/16" and it's too big (again somehow...

1955.99 Great giveaway, thanks

FYI Brian has also got a prototype .45 Taurus he's working on and hopes to be finished testing in a month or so.

I just took this one for you Ive never repainted it with the camo as you can see, just shoot it as is. sorry the pictures a bit dark, thats the best light in my bedroom

I'd also like to mention that the Pitbull in the picture in a post above showing my DIY camo job ISN'T a Pitbull anymore.... last year Brian converted it to a full Taurus w/ all the mods in the short rail version and it is more powerful based on real world chronograph before and after testing...

Brian at Veridium Air is doing a lot more than just drilling out the port and changing a spring. Here's his description of what he does. "Ok top to bottom. On the Taurus Barrel reworked ie cleaned polished recrowned. Chamber worked as required. Barrels slugged for sizing Tensioned barrel...

We're talking Slayers here but it applies to many air rifles. First of all, a bullet flying in the transonic region is being whipped back and forth by the base drag tail... Well, whipping around randomly. This is why many supersonic centerfire bullets suddenly lose accuracy at extreme range as...
