    Re-"design" a new Field Target game

    Intriguing thread. I have been involved in trying to build up a club and one thing I observed when youth are involved is that we/the older shooters can waffle on a bit. I think kids like or respond to set boundries, so a bit of talk is good, but keeping things moving will help to keep the...

    FX Reinforcing a synthetic stock.

    If you have any photos of your work on the Crown, I would be keen to see it?

    FX Reinforcing a synthetic stock.

    I am waiting for it to arrive, and will put up a photo, but someone else might too. I believe the stocks are solid. For this purpose I was asking about the section of the stock under the bottle where a bipod would be mounted. I personally don't want to mount onto the bottle.

    Nomad ll air compressor Stoped building air pressure

    I have a Nomad 2 that stopped building pressure. I changed all the check valves and it didn't help, so I changed the brown O ring that seals around the shaft of the piston along with the O ring that sits behind it, and now it builds pressure again. Kits are cheap from Aliexpress. So there are...

    FX Reinforcing a synthetic stock.

    I like that idea. I hadn't considered carbon fibre rods.

    FX Reinforcing a synthetic stock.

    I am buying a Crown with synthetic stock, and am considering ways of reinforcing the stock where a bipod rail would be mounted. I saw a thread where that whole front section of a crown stock under the bottle had broken off, and hear of screws working loose in the synthetic material. I have a...

    Arken Zulus 0, 20, and 35 MOA Mounts - Short or Long for FX Crown?

    I am considering buying a crown that I would likely mount a Zulus on, so am very interested in this. I see you have yours mounted on an additional rail and your butt pad removed. Are you hunting with this or mainly shooting off a bench? I am just curious as it looks quite "upright", and wonder...

    Let's see those 2240 builds!

    Nice setup there. Is that a long eye relief scope?

    Carbon Fiber Shroud with 3D printed moderator for AGT Vixen

    How is this holding up after a bit of use? Is your gun fac or sub 12? Am looking at doing something for a friends Vixen, but it's fac.

    HW/Weihrauch HW100 bubbling paint on tank

    I am considering bvuying an HW100s. I haven't handled the gun and have some photos. One troubling thing is this bubbling at the fill end of the tank. Has anyone seen this before, or know what this is a symptom of? I mean, I can figure it's corrosion, and if I didn't get it for a bargain so I...

    Let's see those 2240 builds!

    I have just assembled my next build where I have made my own breech. It still needs finishing work, and I will use a crosman trigger grip and some walnut grips instead of what's here, which is just to test function.

    Let's see those 2240 builds!

    Tube is 32 mm OD with a 3 mm wall 6061 aluminium. Fill and firing valve are pinned in using M5 caphead screws. I made the valve using a screw driver shaft and engineering plastic. Fundamentally straight forward and it was a nice surprise that it works well. My biggest concern was the safety of...

    Let's see those 2240 builds!

    I've ripped the heart out of this 2240 and replaced it with HPA tube, valve and hammer I made. First time, and it works well putting out around 25 useful shots at 13 fpe.

    N/A PCP with your favorite shot cycle? and why you think that is?

    Have fired a Daystate with an electronic trigger. Pretty hard to beat, otherwise out of the guns i have experience with, I really like the EDgun matador and AGT Uragan with the swinging hammer style. They feel crisp and like an instantaneous event.

    how to design the PCP valve ?

    I appreciate this is an old thread, but the subject suits what i'm doing at the moment. I am building a pcp pistol using the crosman trigger frame. I am a little stuck on the firing valve design as I am wanting a big safety factor for the air pressure. I had wondered about using the crosman...

    GX CS4 Compressor - Initial Impressions

    I may have missed it, but any recommendations on a run hour meter? I believe there are ones that sense either movement or power usage to log run time.

    GX CS4 Compressor - Initial Impressions

    Thanks for that write up, very useful. I just got a CS4 last week, and made sure I flushed and drained the water that came in it. To drain it I pulled off the "push" connect hoses, held them lower than the system and tilted it to get everything out. When I filled it I had to gently blow through...

    Nomad II issues

    I never really push it more than about 220 bar anyway, and it's held up so far. I also found that taking the time to tighten things up evenly and align things has made it run a bit quieter. The other thing is keeping all the little non return valve seats clean.
