I greatly enjoy the posts on your progress and would love to shoot (not to mention own) one of your pistols. Seems pretty incredible what you have pulled off here.

That's bound to work better than the Bug-a-salt. I had one and it was not powerful enough for the job even though the idea was kind of a good one.

The most efficient air gun that I have shot seems to be the GK one - I don't know what the heck is going on with that one but it's something of an outlier from the standard PCP type valve. Hammerless mechanism. I think you should be able to find the PDF of the manual online which has an exploded...

I had noticed that sound coming from mine, nice to know the source. Thank you.

You might have a defective gun because I have not had any jams with my .25 that weren't my own fault. I'm throwing all kinds of things in there including my own cast 40 and 50 grain slugs. Not sure what's going on with your gun but something is up. Have you sent it into Kelly?

The first Altoro slugs had a very similar profile to the mp mold round nose boattails that had been designed for some early model of Huben. I always felt like that might be the original for that basic profile

i agree

I live in a small rural town and the for profit shipping carriers want nothing to do with serving us, we need USPS. If anybody expects that millions of people can be shipping things every day without occasional mishaps they are delusional.

It will probably turn up. I run a small business that depends on USPS for shipping and something changed with tracking around April / March. A new set of regulations regarding the way packages are binned and scanned was introduced, and my postmaster told me they are no longer updating tracking...

I had one of those briefly. I had issues with the valve seat deforming which will cause leaks out of the barrel. I also had the issue with the stuck fill port mentioned above - there is a hex nut inside the air cylinder that can be used to adjust it if your gun is assembled properly (mine was...

Beautiful

In my opinion the last thing we need on a discussion form is a bunch of people crowning themselves as gatekeepers about what questions are and are not appropriate. People come to forums to seek help from people who know more than them, the search function is sometimes frustrating and produces...

An old acquaintance of mine had a .177 airforce talon ss with a regulator and the standard aluminum ~0.5L bottle. Lent it to me for a week to try out, I can't believe how many times I shot that thing without needing to refill. It just sipped air shooting .177's at around mid-800's.

What about the deadhead test? Does the line reach 4500 psi?

Either that or the poppet cracked - not sure what the material is for this gun.
