    Found a deal on spinner target on Amazon

    I bought a screw in double spinner on Amazon to replace my old one that was bending from pellet strikes. This one from Do All Outdoors seems pretty sturdy, rated for .22cal rimfire, and is on sale on Amazon for $13.58. After getting the 1st one and seeing the thickness, I ordered 2 more.

    Dust Cover fo FX DRS Probe

    For me, I’d rather not be disconnecting and reconnecting the probe with the quick connect, it’s always attached to the whip and ready when I need it. The plug provides a more finished look on my gun, almost invisible unless you’re looking for it. I don’t think there’s an advantage either way...

    Dust Cover fo FX DRS Probe

    I printed a 3D plug that I leave in the port until I’m ready to refill. With the Tactical you can fill from either side, so I just push the plug out with the probe.

    Dust Cover fo FX DRS Probe

    I was looking for one but didn’t like the design or price on a piece of plastic with a hole in it. It was pretty simple, just needed a little trial and error to get the sizing right, a tenth of a millimeter makes all the difference. It’s a 6.6mm hole for the 1st 26mm and 6.1mm for the bottom part.

    Dust Cover fo FX DRS Probe

    I was concerned about my fill probe getting dirty sitting exposed while target practicing, so I designed a 3D dust cover. It fits loosely over the O-ring section but is a snug fit on the metal closest to the whip. I only had to print 3 before i got the dimensions correct, not bad for a rookie. I...

    3D Printed 3L Bottle Cradle

    My design is based on a 3l carbon fiber bottle. The cradle is a couple of millimeters larger than the radius of the bottle and is a perfect fit, each post is 10mm thick so should not put any pressure on the bottle. Not sure how TinkerCad works, but once the posts are raised, create a circle...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    I measured my fill probe on the DRS Tactical and 3D printed a cover. It’s tight on the metal next to the whip and secure, but loose at the orings. I’ll be putting it up on thingiverse later so others can download the model.

    FX DRS Tactical Tuning Issue

    Evidently this gun really likes this tune. I shoot 1” paper dots stuck to gongs at 55, 60 and 75ds; today I was hitting the dots at 75yds, then I was able to hit the left over pieces that were 1/4”-1/2” size. With a fill of 225bar, it is at 150bar after 30 shots. First shot after sitting or...

    3D Printed 3L Bottle Cradle

    I uploaded a 3mf file to thingiverse that should be able to download straight to the slicer.

    3D Printed 3L Bottle Cradle

    I watched a tutorial on YouTube, and paused and replayed until it finished my cradle. There is a learning curve but it’s kind of fun figuring out how to accomplish the various tasks. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

    I designed a 3D cradle to secure my air tank to my shooting bench. It's raining so I got creative, great accomplishment for someone who knows nothing about 3D printing.

    3D Printed 3L Bottle Cradle

    I designed a cradle to keep my air tank from rolling around on my shooting bench, it attaches with a 8x1" panhead screw. I'm new at this 3D stuff but this cradle appears to work. Designed in FreeCAD and saved as a 3mf to print on my Elegoo Centuri Carbon. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7107837

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Been shooting off a folding table on my back deck with occasional clipping on the top rail when I don’t raise the bipod high enough. I finally got motivated and cut out a section of top rail and built a proper bench, lfe is so much better.

    FX DRS Tactical Tuning Issue

    I had another issue with the chrony and had to start over on the tune. I started with a regulator pressure of 85bar (I thought I was at 90bar but my old eyes can’t see those tiny marks very well) and reached a plateau of 934fps at that regulator pressure, so I backed the hammer down until I got...

    Umarex Tuning in general

    Never heard of the “knee”, as most of the YouTube tuning videos suggest finding the plateau and that’s your balance between pressure and hammer spring. I decided to adjust to the knee on my .25 DRS Tactical, I found the plateau at 934fps at 90bar, adjusted the hammer spring wheel down til I got...

    FX DRS Tactical Tuning Issue

    I guess I need to back off the hammer, set regulator to 110 or 120bar then adjust the the hammer to get 900fps, hopefully not having a heavier hammer than I do now. There’s only about 15 clicks left before I reach max. I wish I knew the stock plenum pressure on the DRS Tactical, it’s probably...

    FX DRS Tactical Tuning Issue

    Mine actually has an exposed wheel on the left side that adjusts the hex head that you’re showing.

    FX DRS Tactical Tuning Issue

    I’m probably about 85 clicks in on the hammer spring at 100bar. If going up on plenum pressure would require a heavier hammer spring adjustment wouldn’t it defeat the purpose. I’m thinking that the lowest pressure to get the desired velocity would be the best option, am I wrong?

    FX DRS Tactical Tuning Issue

    It’s a .25 with a 600mm barrel shooting JSB 25.39gr. My velocity dropped when I increased pressure above 100bar with same hammer setting. I may try again with higher pressure if my accuracy is off, right now I’m just happy to get my velocity back to where it was before I started messing with it.

    FX DRS Tactical Tuning Issue

    The DRS Tactical only has one wheel with 100 clicks for hammer adjustment. I installed a meter on the plenum yesterday only got good fps with the regulator bottomed out (evidently had residual air) and max hammer spring. I took a look at the plenum pressure today and it read “0”. I adjusted to...
