    Little video of my yong heng fill station

    Great set-up! May I know where you got that after market pressure gauge on your YH? It looks great.

    The new site looks amazing!!!

    I actually prefer the old site. It took less clicks to go through all the new contents. Maybe I’m officially old.

    Taipan Vets offhand?

    As much as I love my Taipan, I don't think it's an offhand gun, at least I don't do well with it. It could be the weight really, I offhand my avenger much better with its light synthetic body. Or, it could be the style. I find myself much more confident with a traditionally styled rifle than a...

    Yong Heng owners - Are you SHURE you have the correct amount of oil in it? Is a level YH really level? Let's talk.

    Maybe you are way overthinking this? I filled a tank with my YH sitting on my car hood once, and another time I topped up my avenger without oil in the compressor and it took it like a champ. My point being the little machine is pretty robust (except the thermometer).

    If you could only keep one gun, which would it be?

    My pick would be my Taipan vet. It could do nothing but sits there on a bipod and that's enough for me to enjoy it.

    New to PCP, questions on types

    I have no experience with this particular model. But I do own a Artemis P15, which was the old name of the same company, and have a lot of good things to say about it. To answer your question, when we say a gun has "power control", usually it means we can adjust the hammer spring system...

    New to PCP, questions on types

    Hey there, there was some pretty sweet deals that get you some cheap guns. Idk if you know Gamo urban, it's a robust and accurate gun that ran as low as $199 with holiday deals. If you are willing to do used, I suggest you to look up this rifle. edit: Apparently Gamo Urban's smallest caliber...

    Do You Pay More Than $6.25 for Crosman .22 CPHP's?

    My go-to Walmart have then going at $6.97 if you order them so it’s a good deal I’ll say! But you are right about questioning Amazon pellets. I still remember how they butchered my jsb pellets where only about half of the tin were usable :( Maybe the harder lead of the CPHP can endure Amazon‘s...

    Chinese scba tanks?

    Short answer is no, you don’t need a DOT tank if you are doing the filling, as all my three tanks are CE tanks. But I will tell you how a DOT tank could have some surprising perk here in the states: So let’s say you have a scuba shop near your home and the owner who absolutely refuses to work...

    "best" bullpup

    I second Taipan. A wood stock fx wildcat is my close second choice, because the new synthetic look just don't feel the same.

    Pellet prices - WTF?!

    My local Walmart sill offers 6 bucks CPHP 500 rounds. It's my go-to knock things around ammo now.

    Chinese scba tanks?

    I bought my 6.8 tank at around $260 that's before the freight cost hike. I remember someone here bought them at 150 in bulk if memory serves.
