    N/A Compressor help

    A full system pressure test with test plug (pictured), inserted in fill whip (hose) female quick-disconnect, is usual first step in finding compressor problems. Pressurize system, shut down compressor, use soapy water spray bottle to check for leaks. Important to release pressure before...

    Vector Veyron and west hunter compact

    My WestHunter sits in the scope drawer, tried on several airguns but blurry edge scope picture eventually gets to me. All my Vector Veyron scope views are crystal clear, side-to side. WM

    Zelos and 4 Uncles, do i need anything?

    The hand pump fill whip (hose) end will be a female quick-disconnect. Pull back brass collar, install on male quick-disconnect fitting, release collar to secure. PCPs come with pre-installed male quick-disconnects or require a separate fill probe. My Snowpeak M60B is a bottle-version Zelos and...

    AGT VULCAN 3 500 .30 slugs?

    ZAN's .30 slug assortment box was the answer for finding the most accurate slug for my V3 (700mm). Contains six different weights from 44.5 to 68, in quantities that allow plenty of testing. With factory settings the V3 preferred 59 grains. Very interesting watching groups tighten up moving...

    Why kill crows?

    Retired to Florida in 2005 to a neighborhood under siege by crows. Songbirds nearly gone, trash cans raided and noisy pre-dawn raucous. Neighbors tried yelling, banging pots and decoy owls, all to no avail. Battled with Crosman 760 for years but they learned to cuss me just out of range...

    Vector Optics Veyron 4-16

    Don't recall fit complaints regarding 4-16, but specifics escape me. Had to use cantilever on my AGT guns, FX and Taipan, with longer pic rails, were no problem. WM

    Am I going to be disappointed.

    Slug accuracy out of a pellet barrel is always a crapshoot, disappointment is common. Pellets self-stabilize by design, slugs need speed and spin. Pellets don't appreciate much spin, that's why your FX barrel just imparts a little prior to exit. Maybe the slugs will find enough spin to be...

    Pump vs Compressor on a Zelos?

    A high-pressure-air (HPA) handpump will work, for some it's all they've ever used. Bought an eBay (under $50) Chinese one when I first started, worked OK, all that pumping got old fast. Sits in drawer now as a backup, very glad I didn't get a $300 one. WM

    Vector Optics Veyron 4-16

    No personal Veyron 4-16 experience but read some member concerns. Was similarly impressed with 3-12 and 6-24. WM

    What Airgun would you like to buy new in 2025

    Mother was 3x baby mama, covered in tattoos, with lime green hair. Frankly, didn't feel comfortable approaching her. They didn't stay long.

    Vector Optics Veyron Compact

    Tried a bunch of mid-priced scopes, including Hawke, but super-subcompact, light weight Vector Veyrons with side-to-side crystal clarity, a same price point, was a gamechanger. I swear they transformed my airguns favorably in appearance and function. WM

    Vector Optics Veyron Compact

    Was my first VV, recommended by member. Very impressed but 12 power wasn't making it shooting dime-size circles @ 50 yards. Three AGTs, 2 FXs and a Taipan Veteran wear 6-24x44s, IR, non-IR, SFP and FFP. Six shade red center dot IR is outstanding, easily dialed down to avoid washout of sight...

    Vector Optics Veyron Compact

    Vector Veyrons include flip-up scope covers, honeycomb sun shade and a decent set of rings. Taipan Veteran and FXs mounted perfect with included rings but AGT (Uragan, Uragan 2 and Vulcan 3) all needed cantilever scope rings, as shown in photo, for proper eye relief. WestHunter and Marcool are...

    Vector Optics Veyron Compact

    I've heard complaints regarding 4-16 but 3-12 has good reviews. I've five 6-24s in SFP and FFP, IR and non-IR, can't be more impressed. Super-subcompact size and weight is perfect for airguns, crystal clear optics and smooth functioning round out the package. WM

    Thoughts on buying used?

    Two cautions with used, one, you'll have to trust modifier knew what he was doing, high pressure air is nothing to fool with, and, two, did original owner take care to assure moisture wasn't introduced when airing up? WM

    Air Venturi Avenge-X Tactical Carbine Leak - I’ve exhausted all attempts!!

    Few years back, Hajimoto did an upgrade video for the original Umarex Gauntlet that included replacing poppet. I referred to this when replacing Airacuda one, he uses drill to hold poppet against brass fitting and gives light (10-second) burnish to seat. Video can be found on YouTube, seating...

    Air Venturi Avenge-X Tactical Carbine Leak - I’ve exhausted all attempts!!

    You're welcome. Here's Airacuda MAX poppet, at break air blasted out muzzle and breech. Replacement chipped after a few magazines, slow leak from same. Appeared OK but felt chip running fingernail along edge. Poppet separates reservoir air from breech so unable to fill reservoir with air...
