I have everything I need right now. So I'm not really holding off -- if I had an extra $10k sitting around I'd spend it on fixing my car.

I have two CF tanks, still within their 5 year time of purchase. That said, I won't bother getting a tank tested unless I'm suspicious of it. My impression is that when such a tank fails it's not a dangerous failure. More often than not it will be a slow leak. The only real precaution you...

For me it's the Edgun Leshiy 2 in .22", firing Crosman pellets. Usually with a 3x 640x480 thermal scope on it, but I'm experimenting with a hybrid thermal red dot. Most of my pesting is at night. My shots are usually 20 yards or less. The longest shot possible in my yard is about 30 yards...

I took the thermal to the range yesterday and gave it a good rundown. The red-dot portion is pretty much like any Holosun variable-reticle red-dot. I like how you can "roughly" zero the thermal reticle by setting it to match the red dot. I find you can't get them quite perfectly matched...

There's basically four types of 3d printers in the mainstream nowadays. Filament printers, these are the most common and generally are the lowest-resolution. That said, they print in a lot of materials. Prusa, Ender, Bambu Lab, are the main companies that come to mind. Resin printers...

If it's a ghost gun, yes. If not, no.

I've never seen a failure like that. The hose bursts I've seen involved the hose staying connected at both ends. The hose expands in a bulb shape, usually near one of the connectors, cracks develop and the air is let out in a bang. So there was no whipping motion. I imagine one of the...

Cubic feet of air at 4500 psi is a really odd unit of measurement. It should state, cubic feet of air this would produce if full at 4500psi, then emptied into a 14.7psi room.

I'd maybe only wear hearing protection until you're sure you've got the hang of things. Most compressors are noisy. And if you burst a fill line it'll be louder than a typical gunshot.

I think if you have problems with this kind of compressor it will either be 1) a really simple one in the first few days or weeks. It should be an easy self-repair or 2) A failure in around the 3 year mark of the "major rebuild" variety. Given that the warrantee covers you for ?4 years? if...

I pretty much do all my pesting at under 30 yards and mostly use Crosman 22 pellets. They've worked wonderfully.

I've never drained water out of a PCP. As people here have discussed, water in the PCP is something you want to avoid -- at about the cost of your PCP rifle. I similarly dry my air before putting it in an SCBA tank, and I fill my PCPs from the SCBA tank. You can find multiple threads on...

I put my toes into the "buy thermal" pool, first getting a rather affordable (under $1000) spotting scope. I then was fully suckered into it and bought a 640x480 thermal that was more expensive than my car. I also bought a thermal red-dot (the Holosun) just last year. They're not just great...

You can find **very** cheap and effective battery-powered car/bicycle tire pumps on Amazon. I have a slow leak in one of my car tires. I keep a pump like this in my car: It takes my car tire from 20psi to 35psi in about 10 minutes. Then I just put it in the car and plug it into a USB...

I've done so many I forget most of them. Most recent was my son (so, pretty much my fault) when I took him to the range for the first time. Put the Leshiy 2 in his hands and before he even looked down the sights he put his finger on the trigger and let off a shot, without realizing it...

Recently I've mostly been using Crosman .22 pellets, so it's been Wal Mart for me.

If anyone has this I'd be curious to see it side-by-side with the stock trigger. Aren't they essentially the same? They look almost the same.

My only concern would be to check how long the CS4 can handle continuous operation. With my CS2 to fill a large tank like that is I cycle the pump off and on to help keep everything cool.

I've been shopping on AliExpress since around 2019. Found some lovely VG-10 kitchen knives, basically knock-offs of some standard Japanese kitchen knives, but at about a quarter the price. That said, I've since found better Japanese sources for Japanese knives and have decided to stick with...

I have no problems with the stock trigger.
