I'm agreeing with the sentiment most people are sharing here. I can't see prices going down any time soon (or ever, really). Just ordered some more tins of the one caliber I have.

I probably only have a couple thousand rounds, but when I buy I do like to buy enough to get the free shipping. Like others have said, my shooting goes way down in the winter. I am interested in the idea that pellets can "go bad" over time. I've never heard that before, but I am certainly...

Awesome write-up, this would be on my short list if I had the time to do a lot more shooting. Thanks a bunch for taking the time.

And yet another vote for Stikman. Without a doubt well worth the money.

I bought this one for my 30 minute tank and it works great: Ruggard Deluxe Padded 27" Tripod Case (Black) BD-3027 B&H Photo (bhphotovideo.com) Only $35.

I do like my Omega Trail Charger I use to charge my gun and smaller bottle (30 min), but I do wish they came with an hour meter already installed.

Whether you get a pump or a compressor depends on many factors: age/health, size of the gun tank you will be filling, tolerance for working up a sweat, budget, shooting location, shooting frequency, and probably other factors I am not thinking about right now. I filled up my FX Impact MKII with...

This is good solid info, thanks a bunch for the review!

My Omega Trail Charger has been working great, but I only have about 5 hours on it. I use it to fill my 30-minute SCBA bottle, which it does without a problem so far. Going from 0 to 4500 psi took a few cycles of pumping/resting, but now I pump it back up after a shooting session and it does it...

Well, if it's not the gun I want people to know that. Even if it had been, I have been very happy with my MKII. It's not the gun for everyone, but I don't feel the need to convert everyone either- people can like whatever they want. At the very least this was a good opportunity to strip the gun...

SOLVED! I had some more time today to dig into my gun, I've been pretty busy. My brother was there and I was showing him all the places I've already checked, and I picked up my bipod and saw that there was something missing on the cam latch. Sure enough, it was the home for my grub screw, even...

It's not the barrel retainer screw, that was the first thing I checked. It also doesn't appear to be from my SWA scope or my bipod. I will have to check to see if it's the setscrew that holds the valve body in place, but that would be odd, since I've never taken the magazine adapter plate off...

So I was out shooting my stock FX Impact MkII with my nephew this morning. We'd been out for a while and were enjoying the laser accuracy of the gun. Suddenly, as I was cocking the gun, a grub screw fell out of the gun and into the shooting table. I was perplexed, but thought I could just give...
