    Air Venturi Avenge-X Classic. Wood or Synthetic stock? Bottle or Tube?

    Wouldn't consider any Air Venturi Avenge-X model as beautiful but Classic (wood grain) tube-fed is sharpest of the bunch, IMO. Prefer functionality over beauty in airguns so synthetic is first choice. Nothing wrong with wood just hate that first dent or scratch. WM

    Air Gun Compressor Oil....does this one seem like it would be a good option?

    Not all HPA compressors use crankcase oil, GX-CS Series and the rectangular box multi-power, oil-less, waterless, to name a few. Used HUSKY Full Synthetic compressor oil for first two years in Yong Heng, without issue. Switched to SecoLube 500, following Biohazardman's advice. He pointed out...

    Air Venturi Avenge-x on sale

    Haven't followed Avenge-X pricing but if anyone asked I'd suggest Pyramyd Air, around major holidays, when special discounts often show up. If PA drops regular pricing to move product, I'd try to combine that with special holiday discounts for extra savings. WM

    Krale Netherlands .

    Searching Krale inventory, selecting, "USA" in upper right page dropdown list should reflect gun availability. You can also search what Krale will sell to other parts of the world, using same drop-down list, but I find that too depressing. WM

    Welcome, sorry about 10-day/10 "quality" post requirement for PM privileges and Classifieds, thank scammers for that. Best to stick to forum rules, trying to circumvent doesn't sit well with members. WM

    Correct, regional sales agreements prohibit FX sales from Krale to US customers. WM

    Yong Heng after piston replacement

    Slowing fills for any compressor means time for dead head pressure test with soapy water spray on all parts of the system. First slow fill encounter for me brought needless removal of high-pressure head, bad quick-disconnect "O" ring was real culprit. Lesson learned, next time found YH gauge...

    Diana Air leak

    First thought is failed one-way valve in air reservoir, likely caused by moisture-induced corrosion. Few drops of silicone oil in foster fitting, or installed fill probe, left to soak overnight, would be first step. If unsuccessful, and zero air pressure in reservoir, remove and inspect...

    Silicone oil

    Heavyweight silicone oil used for maintenance of treadmill exercise machines was recommended to me. Bought a small three-bottle set from Amazon. WM

    FX Impact M4 bottle

    Twin bottle platforms appeal to some but judging from Krale pricing discounts trying to move AGT Kings and Princes, not to most. WM

    What qualifies as a quality post

    Scammers took advantage of members through Classifieds so Admin instituted 10-day waiting period/10-post minimum for access. Scammers managed the ten days but had nothing to add to conversations so lots of, "Awesome," "Cool," and, "Neat," posts were made. I surmise Admin refined rules to 10...

    New member post!

    Welcome, you've come to the right place. Best advice in beginning for me was to check out Matt Dubber's 9-part YouTube series, "Airgun Ballistics, 101." Short and easy to follow, really lays out the basics. WM

    N/A Corroded valve removal

    Wise choice, for budget compressors search, "Yong Heng," or, "GX-CS," in upper right page corner search box. GX-CS just came out with a magnetically attached external filter which looks good. WM
