Looks like you guys had fun this year! Sucks that I switched jobs and didn't have the time off to make it to the event. The wind looks about the same as last year, though you guys seem to have missed out on all the rain! Congrats to all that placed, and hope everyone at least had a blast and...

The balance is just in front of the block. I have a barricade stop sitting just behind the spot to keep the barricades right where I want them. I can get a picture of the spot tomorrow. A cylinder for the gun would be interesting for sure. I have a barricade here at the house I will pull out...

Well the rifle is here and I have it all set up and ready to go. Will take the rifle out tomorrow after work to get some shots and some velocity numbers. The wide base on the chassis is a GREAT platform for stability! The only prop that I am concerned about would be the pyramid, I am sure the...

The best thing that you can do is to make sure you are getting the exact same squirt of air each time. The other thing would be to get a projectile that is as close to the same weight as possible. If you are able to swage our own ammo you can darn near get the same weight for every projectile.

That is cool as hell! It really looks like a basic "Air Zooka" but you pump it up and dump all the air in one shot. I really want one!

I called Martin a few weeks back about building me an HM1000x in 22 caliber and asking multiple questions. After a few back and forth conversations I was happy with what Martin was saying and I made an order. Martin worked his magic on the HM1000x and got the rifle shooting a 27 grain slug at...

Just put together my rifle! Martin was kind enough to build me one of his amazing rifles, the HM1000x in 22 caliber. Pushing a 30 grain slug around 1000 fps! Hoping the swaging set up I have access to will make some good slugs for hunting and competition. I have an issue/thing for these...

Really!?!? Didn't know that. I just got mine from Martin today!

Welcome to the north! You missed out on a quite lovely winter this year, but things should get interesting next year I am sure. I'm not to far away from Oakdale. Have shot there before with the guys and they are a great group to shoot with. Have been trying to get a hunter or "extreme"...

That's brilliant! Love the idea of the indexable barrel

With RC planes in my shop as well, you couldn't be more right! Some of my $1K+ gliders were nerve wracking to maiden and fly, but now they are just boring. Try something new, or stretch the rifles legs. There is always something else to get you going.

I just paid for the rifle, so hoping in a few days I will have the rifle in my hands. Then testing can begin.

Have said it multiple times, these threads come up about once a month. Fatboy all the way

I am sending money down to Martin for my HM1000x!!!! Yay should be here next week I hope!

I have both, and according to my wife I have to many of each! Though I tell her she is nuts.. :D I enjoy them both. The airguns fill a niche that powder doesn't. Easy as that. Most powder burners look at the cost of an airgun, say a good rifle around the $2k range. That will buy you a...
