    Valve wont fill past 3000psi?

    Unfortunately, I dont have a deadhead to test with... but would be interesting and now this has me questioning if the valve I got was somehow regulated to put out 3k.

    Airgun shooting for people with PTSD

    I am a vet and work every day with veterans both with and without PTSD and a host of other things. We arent that fragile for the most part. If you have a storefront, put up a sign. If you have a web site, put on the web site that you offer a Veteran Discount and 'ask me about a shoot' and see...

    Valve wont fill past 3000psi?

    No spring in the check valve... I'm at a loss as well. Talked with Grackleblast who has a valve for me so will give that a go. I got the valve from PA a couple years ago and was advertised as a 'slow fill' valve and most of my guns that I was shooting at the time only filled to 3kpsi so I...

    Valve wont fill past 3000psi?

    Morning, all Originally, I had thought perhaps that my CF tank was leaking. I would fill it up with the compressor and then some days later, use it to fill a gun and it would only fill to right at 3kpsi. Today, I topped it off and it was near 4kpsi. Filled to just under 4500 and went to fill...

    @JohnTaylor Thank you, sir. My shop stays a wreck. I only have a small 10x10 as a grinding room with some belt grinders and other things that make metal dust and then a 12x20 for my wood working shop, tool storage, forging and knifemaking assembly tables... so it stays a hot mess. I know...

    Tuning Bam B40 177 - Project

    Seems that yours is shooting a bit weak. I had one back in the day that came in at 15fpe and after adding a Macarri kit to it, dropped down to 12fpe. Did improve accuracy, and not near as hold sensitive. How is the shot cycle on it? As heavy as those are, at 10.5fpe, should be really...

    Straight Shooters

    Yes sir. I actually have one in .177 and one in .22, but one of them is missing quite a few pellets. Over the years, I've used it to send 'samples' out to folks to try in their own guns. Back then, I think we tried every pellet to find 'the' one. Nowadays, I'm lazy. If it doesnt shoot JSB's...

    Straight Shooters

    Still have a mostly complete SS pellet sampler something in amongst my junk. Loved the 'stats' they had for each of the guns as well. Took a while to compile all that. Great folks to deal with.

    Renewing Classified Ads

    As I've noted before, I dont mind it... this is still the most active classifieds around. Most days there is an entire PAGE full of new ads to peruse through. If a particular ad has been listed over and over, I just dont look at it, unless I just need a chuckle. Still not a bad problem...

    What is the process to accept payment on classified?

    This is key. This place runs a tight ship to avoid common scammers. Sure, some good folks turn bad and some others fall through the cracks, but this place is by far the safest and best place to sell on the net.

    6 o'clock hold with the chevron will be your ticket.

    Newbie Budget Suggestions

    Another member had recommended CV Life scopes as a good for the money budget option and so I tried one and have to say that it's actually really good for the money. This is the one I grabbed, but imagine the lower powered options are similar quality...

    red dot type sight

    right. Hence my dislike for scopes on pistols. Even EER ones doesnt seem 'right' to me. Anyway, threw out the offer. Will see you at Hickory! Another option for a red dot that may suit you is a Holosun with the ACSS reticle. That reticle has a chevron rather than a dot. Can be very...

    red dot type sight

    ah... I've never been a fan of a scope on a pistol, but some folks love them. Are you going to be at the Hickory show this year? I can send you a spare LPVO to try out if you'd like and you can get it back to me at Hickory. At least could give you an idea on if you'd like to spend your coin...

    red dot type sight

    Going to be difficult to impossible to find a 1MOA red dot without spending some serious cash. I would ask what is it about the red dot that you find appealing? Is this on a rifle or a pistol? Reason I ask is that for rifles, I've compromised by using an LPVO. I can keep it set to 1x...

    Airforce Tex rex

    Keeping my .457 Carbine. Does all I need it to do. The Tex Rex would give me nothing other than bragging rights at this point.

    Airforce Airforce 22 Condor 17 inch LW Barrel 39 gr at 1050 fps

    Leading the barrel... that makes perfect sense. Didnt think about tracer effect, either bonus. Appreciate the explanation!
