    Anyone Own A PBBA Pro 20 Shotgun?

    I daydream about the PBBA pro20 frequently so it's nice to see someone on the forum with one! It's advertised as a 500 FPE gun, is this true in your experience? We have a flock of turkey that comes through twice a year and I hear a Tom in the woods most days. I also like the available .308 liner...

    AEA Challenger Bullpup .30 32 inch barrel

    The listing for the .457 and .50 say 400+ FPE. Does anyone know what they are really capable of? I found a thread on the other forum saying these rifles support 4,000 psi, is that the same for the .457 or just the .30/.357?

    AEA Challenger Bullpup .30 32 inch barrel

    I'm really thinking about treating myself this Christmas to an AEA .457 Challenger Bullpup with 32" barrel. How do they handle in the woods? I want to hunt deer on my own property and will probably be using a stand or blind. The 10lb weight is the primary reason I am hesitating.

    Tuning Bandit free flight hammer fix kit

    Does anyone know where to find that drop in PR700W spring? Regulated .177 Bandit owner here and would love to find a spring that I can just order, or at least find a backup for my OEM spring before I modify it.

    The moderator came in this week and while checking zero at different regulator pressures I could not get consistent groups. On a whim I removed the moderator and got the great groups I'm used to. On a second test I removed the baffles and tried again and got terrible groups so it seems to be in...

    Thanks for the reply! I'm considering doing the opposite and buying a Stormrider and putting my Chaser furniture on it. I like the Bandit, but it has been a learning curve. The regulator seems to make up for most of the problems, but I sometimes wonder how well the regulator I have works. Some...

    Does anyone know how to convert from Canadian spec to US spec? I sent a message to Wes, but I figure a wide net will turn up more results. Edit: Wes said he sent me a US spec, so never mind.

    Would you buy a Diana Bandit again?

    I have a Canadian Bandit from Wes at Airgun Archery and didn't realize it was going to be limited. When placing the order I did get it with the regulator, but I assume it is still limited to 450 fps. How can it be converted? This thread makes it sound like the brass connection port between the...

    1st PCP: Regulated PP800/Bandit v. PP750/700

    Anyone using lead free ammo in their Bandit? I prefer lead free for target practice so I don't have to worry about my chickens eating lead or worry about lead disposal.

    Is there a more active forum that I could join?

    Where can I find a moderator/silencer that will fit the OEM threads?

    For the few magazines I was able to shoot today I am not impressed with the iron sights at all. I'll be searching for a good reflex sight.

    I got the Bandit working again and adjusted the reg down a bit. When filling the tube back up to test at the lower reg pressure the foster probe exploded and ejected out of the fill port. Has anyone ever experienced this? Also frustrated that the probe is $20...

    sooo... got the pellets out and now nothing happens when I squeeze the trigger. The degassing instructions say to dry fire until there is no air, but I can't even do that.
