    Karma Karma Red Panda Bench Model

    From some owners posts the RP seems to be accurate, nothing extraordinary but good. Just curious if it’s lighting/camera? China makes amazingly good quality stuff if you pay for it but the barrel doesn’t look that great from these pictures. For the price I was thinking they would/should get top...

    Karma Karma Red Panda Bench Model

    Is it me or the crown and barrel lands and grooves aren’t that smooth and uniformed? Maybe it’s the angle/lighting? Here is a TJ barrel, the RP barrel seems to be a variation of lands and groove TJ uses. Here is TJ barrel picture but with much better lighting.

    Other "Sub MOA all day" Challenge

    For airguns with pellets 30 yards is probably a good distance and 50 yards for slugs to try for MOA groups for most people. The funny part of going to public range is most people don't know how to shoot let along shooting MOA groups. But that's public ranges and it's expended as they are not...

    Dead Chicken

    Yes, all birds of prey are very sensitive to lead poisoning due to high acid digestive system. Condors and vultures have the strongest stomach acid and they eat dead animals like the one hunters kill but could not retrieve. I see a lot of people calling it a lie out of complete ignorance! Anyone...

    Dead Chicken

    most birds will eat small rocks and pellets and casings to aid digestion. The problems with chicken eating lead pellets is they die a slow death and since most people keep chickens for eggs they just got some heavy breakfast. If shooting near chickens definitely use lead free tin pellets. They...

    FX LOTHAR WALTHER BARRELS ** NOT FOR SALE ***. Just an FYI

    Tried solid barrel on FX, been there, done that and over it. Only gain was the weight of the gun.

    Umarex How do you quiet a Notos down?

    you need a moderator that's about 200mm or a bit longer with a bore that's not too over sized. Also try raise the regulator.

    FX M3 Consistency After a time stored .. From an FX Hater ( Not )

    At 50 yards airguns are already affected by environmental changes and wind, if it's that hard to notice then it's probably external influences in my experience. Generally when people complain on the forum about POI it's very significant even at 20 yards, like half to an inch over which is very...

    FX M3 Consistency After a time stored .. From an FX Hater ( Not )

    If the POI doesn’t shift at 50 yards then there is no POI shift if you ask me. At 100 yards POI will shift based on environmental changes and wind. Curious on what mod you made to prevent POI shift.

    FX FX generic magazines on Amazon??

    The design looks good, the print quality looks great and 30 dollars for 2 mag is excellent value. Best of luck with your venture, I’m sure you will do well.

    FX Tuning

    No airgun I know of can shoot the heavy 177 slugs well because of sow twist rates in Airgun barrels. FX refuse to make a true slug barrel for 177 with fast enough twist rate for the heavy slugs. We need 1:11-1:12 twist rate for 20-24 grain slugs, they only have 1:18. Honestly after 12.5 grain...

    N/A Choked vs unchoked barrel with pellets and slugs

    Without choke the entire barrel is a choke. If the slug is just a little too big then there will be bore drag through the entire barrel as supposed to at the very end. The choke helps with some variations in ammo size as long as it’s bigger than the choke. A barrel without choke generally would...

    FX M3 Consistency After a time stored .. From an FX Hater ( Not )

    Both the groups and the M3 certainly can be worse.

    EDgun Leshiy 2 9mm Won’t Leave My Brain.

    As long as there is no safety concerns then overkill when pesting is just about right. The other concern would just be ammo cost but you are unlikely to use a lot of ammo while pesting.
