    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    So took it up to north part of my land. Running low pressure until I get to chrono it. 50 yards into a 6x6" box. Shooting out of back of pickup with gun propped on a back pack. 10 shots fired aiming for center of box. 7 shots you can see. 2 grazed the left side of box and one cant be found...

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    Its back together. Going to chrono it this weekend with a friends chrono. Easy job really. My schrader valve has a small leak but the o-ringed cap seals fine. Dont know if that is normal. Wish I had ordered the schrader valve now and the main forward piston seal. But I think its going to be...

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    I really don't know but I think the nitrogen was an option and not standard. And if humidity is a concern the humidity in my house is 37%,

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    My airpump came today. I thought I would try a small pump on it and see if it held air. Do not have a chronograph to use yet. That made no difference in barrel cocking so I tried a full pump. Might have made a slight difference so I tried three pumps which started to feel some barrel...

    I found this. I think it applies to our guns in general but will let someone like Yo chime in. http://www.airgunforum.co.uk/HW90strip.html

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    Ok good info. I just tried google and only thing I found which ironically was on this site was: "Beeman Silver Jets at 11 gr. @ 910 fps " I might go on the low side anyway so its easier to cock. At least when wife and I are just plinking here at house.

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    I dont remember what the manufacturer spec is. I was thinking that the 20 caliber RX1 was about 1050fps. Sound about right?

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    Yea my balls are not that big. I cant shoot with buildings/houses within 200 yards and I have 3 houses that fall within that. I have a hill against the woods so its safe to shoot. I may have tested the AR. I cannot confirm nor deny that :) I am doing the 80% lower route. Tired of what is going...

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    Well with Yo's help I am going to replace all that :) But good info. I live on an acreage now so will be easier to shoot more often. If only I could do that with the AR15 I just built!

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    I am just going to purchase a pump. I have the fitting on order. Appreciate all your help Yo. So do I need to get a hold of a chrono to charge it properly?

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    Thanks, I am all for doing it myself if it does not require a bunch of specialized tools. I don't have pump but would buy one if it did not break the bank. I did email Martin but have not heard back. I have a ton of tools and a nice shop. If doable, I am in!

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    Plan on checking it all out. Really trying to avoid sending it off and spending a ton of money so looking for my options. I might be happier just buying another cheaper and lighter gun for my use.

    Beeman RX-1 Gas ram

    First post. I have owned a Beeman RX-1 "commemorative edition" (1 of 25) for many years. Its been in the closet for a long time and the gas spring has lost its charge. I would like to start shooting again but not sure I want to spend a ton of money to send it off and get the thing repaired...
