    does powder coating slow big bore ammo down

    I played a little with it on bullets for my 257. It didn't seem worth the trouble. I use bike chain wax on soft lead with no sizing. I don't claim to be an expert. I just bought a 257 Texan and a lead pot when I retired at about the same time it came out with the goal learn bullet casting and...

    Airforce Anyone shoot the new Altaros 84 grain 257 slugs through their Texan? ATP KING .257

    I cast my own. I have been wondering hue else is shooting one. The price to operate in terms of air and ammo was the reason for my choice. On your typical sat at my range there are at least several long-range powder burners blasting away at 100 and I have the 200 all to myself with my 257 and...

    Texanss .510 cal has rattle in tank and won’t hold air

    Order the parts to rebuild it yourself. I did and it's not hard. I also improved the flow of air by porting and polishing the replacement part.

    Air Venturi Avenger .25

    I have one that I bought from a friend that had lots of upgrades with port mod , hill hammer system with an internal huma. The max speed was 872 with the rest waisted. The huma spacer is enough plenum for a speed of 855 with the 25s and is a very sweet gun. You are only going to get so...

    Daystate Heliboard tune. What have I got?

    Thank you It is 22, high power ranges are 2106, 2325, 2532, 2571 which is pretty much the same as my friend's high power. I called AOA and they said it was tuned by them to shoot the 25grs. At middle voltage too fast. I lowered the voltage on #9 and got the speed down to just under 1000 with...

    Daystate Heliboard tune. What have I got?

    Thanks I just sent off a message and will try to be hopeful. I'm saying that because I know that being 72 and not tec savvy I will be the weakest link in that operation. But what about that 1700 pulse range? Was it just some big damn oop? Does anyone think that is a magic number and for...

    Daystate Heliboard tune. What have I got?

    I bought a used Redwolf. Nice gun. my question is about the power ranges. the four in the middle are all in the mid1700 range. The rest correspond with my friends helliboard. I intended to shoot the 25 grs, but the range looks more like 18s instead. Putting it back to the original looks...

    You get what you pay for ATP

    The regulator I use for my Texan started to leak after helping me throw enough lead I didn't begrudge it. It was still under warranty, they were great, and I got it back faster than expected.

    Other Big bore airgun accuracy

    buy a good springer, you can practice fifty times more. Shooting my HW97 at 50 feels like my Texan at 200. The hang time feels close. My Texan never shot well until I tuned it the way I treat a spring gun.

    At what distance do you typically shoot your airgun?

    t The wind at my range determines my distances The wind is cleaner at 200 than 100. I can play in the wind with a 12 ftp but will be frustrated at 50 or 100 with a more powerful air rifle because of the foliage. So, 200 with my FX and 257 texan then 30 with a good springer.

    My new Texan .257 LSS setup for 200 yards

    I'm glad to see other people shooting the257. My problem is it's so much fun to shoot I forget about the tuning. I use the same slugs as well as ones from the arsenal 85 gr spitzer mold which works out well because of the weight. I was shooting at about 970 but went up to your speed and like it...

    AF Texan .457 LSS

    That makes it always safety maybe removing the spring and piece it presses against would work but I would put it back like it was. the Rekord trigger is the gold standard. It is square, the HW 97 trigger is the same which which allows the space for a mechanical advantages in the sears you...

    AF Texan .457 LSS

    That piece is controlled by the safety bar that was removed. It blocks the sears from moving which releases the hammer. I would put the safety back in.

    Air Arms TX200HC .177 Cal, Performance & Maintenance Review

    I think I only shot mine four times before I took my new gun apart because of the grinding noise. Luckily the TB tune kit got here before the rifle. People in the back room of a Pakistani village gun shop wouldn't have claimed that piston and there were enough burs inside to tear it up even...

    Huma rebuild help

    Thanks for the advice. It gave me a chance for a fresh look. It turns out I wasn't smart enough to make a technical mistake. My rebuild was perfect. I was so zoned into the reg I forgot about the Oring on the base of the plenum. Without It will work when you first fill it but not when you drain...

    Huma rebuild help

    I have been trying to rebuild my reg for my marauder but am not having much success. It will set to a level and stay that way over night. When I shoot it down and refill it stops working and goes up to 3000. I really like this rifle. It has a TJ barrel,the hill kit and the port enlarged. When...

    Rocky Mountain Precision Airguns AirForce Triggers

    Polishing the top of the trigger and were it rubs on the piece inside and cutting off some of the spring will improve it. Another thing you can do is take the hammer out and polish the ends' Thats were the most friction is and is harder than the sear it rubs against. If you have the trigger...

    What to buy?? PCP...

    How far are you shooting? I have an R7 and if you shoot at 15 to 30 yards in your back yard it is all you need. If you shoot out to 50 a TX 200 or a97 Which reminds me of the ugly part of pcp ,air source. What part of that money would go to that. Besides those I have an fx mk3 as well as a 257...

    Which compressor in the $1,500 range?

    I generally top off a half hour tank from 3000 to 4200 twice a week. I"M thinking Omega as well so far. The basic model looks good for less but without some features.
