    GX cs4i

    I have a early version of the JTS compressor (GX CS3) with external inverter. Once the inverter is plugged in the fans start their cooling process. My GC SC3-I with the internal inverter works the same way; once the unit is plugged in the inverter fan starts. Have you reached out to JTS or GX...

    .22 or .25 Air Venturi Avenger

    I purchased the Avenge-X in .25 cal along with the .22 cal barrel kit. It didn't take me long to hit a wall tuning the .25 for maximum use and never got it to run the medium weight slugs as fast as prefered. When I installed the .22 barrel kit, I found the tuning was much more forgiving and I...

    AirMaks Arms The krait line of guns - what's the difference?

    You want to be careful when comparing pricing from EU vendors because there is a nice suprise at delivery in the manner of taxation. My Epic Two purchased through Balistas ran about an extra $225 at delivery for Customs fees and such.

Heat is the killer of the GX CS compressors, so if you believe it is running hot it probably is. Take some time about the half-fill point to allow the...

    Beeman Beeman R-7 .20 cal rebuild….. results….?

    You should notice and increase in velocity as the piston seal wears in. Did you verify that all original parts and pieces are accounted for with the new install? You didn't forget the top hat, power spacer or any other part going to the front or back side of the spring?

    Air gun identification

    As Motorhead mentioned above, count your fingers and use with caution. The B-3 is a great little airgun to learn all the basics with: shooting technique, maintenance and rebuilding/ modifications. Have fun with it.
