    sellers protection

    I have belonged to several PB forums and still do to a couple. In the years that I have belonged to forums the issue of buying from fellow forum members and getting ripped off has never been discussed anywhere near as much as here. Are air gunners a mistrusting lot or are there more bad actors...

    FX Does this seem right?

    Where is your IHS set at? There is a huge difference between PW7 with the IHS screwed all the way in and PW7 with the IHS backed up to 5.5mm. You can go to 6.0mm bu I have never needed to.

    Fx impact m3 compact .25 Slugs

    I tried to get my Maverick 25 compact to shoot slugs. Even tried Hybrids. They did better than anything else but still left much to be desired. A 600mm barrel is the minimum I have found for good slug performance. Jerkey has great advice for the Compact barrel.

    Buying from a new member

    You dodged a bullet for certain. A lot of people here cannot spell very well but their grammar is at least passable. Poor grammar is a good indicator and then of course, your concern about payment type.

    I think your full disclosure describes many of us here.

    Pumpers, pain and new age quackery

    I am 64 and take no meds either. I thank god every day for the blessing. I see the litany of drugs my friends take and the health challenges they face and know that I am very very fortunate. Glad to hear the OP is doing well.

    New Gun

    Clean the barrel and shoot the crap out of it. Anything wrong will show itself in short order.

    "No airguns allowed here"

    There is an indoor range where I live that you can shoot out to 100 yards in. When they first started up they would not allow air guns for the same reason. I have been told they are now allowing air guns. I haven’t been back to check on that situation. I would like to shoot there due to the lack...

    FX FX DRS Walnut

    When the details on the DRS started coming out I offered some less than glowing remarks about some of what was known. I was at the local shop today and one of the folks there had a 600mm walnut version. I was surprised to see the walnut as I thought them to be hard to come by. I will retract my...

    Other Newbie PCP

    Your desire to shoot at subjectively long range will complicate your choice. I suggest you concentrate on 50-75 meter to get started, 50 being a better choice to begin. Master that with whatever price level gun you can justify to start. Make sure this is a hobby you wish to pursue. Motivation...

    FX New Maverick tuning thread

    You just named your problem. You installed a hammer weight that is 36+% heavier. In a 22 compact the stock hammer will do anything you need to do with 16 & 18 gr pellets. I had to put a 25 cal weight in to shoot the 25.39 though. Also, with those lighter pellets I would stay with the pellet...

    N/A Rifle set up to shoot 2 different pellets/slugs

    My wife’s 22 M3 is set up to shoot JSB 25.39’s at 920 fps and if I move the power wheel up two positions it shoots the RMR (hybrids) @ 980. Both deliver good accuracy. I have tried this stunt with other slugs and with poor luck though.

    N/A Airgun Idiocy

    In my life I have known some stupid people, some ignorant people and some foolish people. This one deserves his own category.

    Daystate Daystate revere .177

    I would send it back rather than attempt something that may void your guarantee. The gun should not be doing that even when dry firing. There is something not right there.

    FX FX Panthera Barrel Conversion VS Hunter Compact

    If you are adverse to length, look at a bullpup. I have a Panthera in 600mm and I was committed to selling it. Superbly accurate gun but the length was not really what worked for me because I hunt. The problem is that every time I shoot it, I am impressed by its performance. It has a couple...

    Umarex Nitrogen Powered PCP Rifle (Video Review) Umarex Komplete NCR Nitro

    It may well work for some folks. They probably would not shoot the volume most members here do though. I am perceiving this gun the same way I look at camp stoves and lanterns that use the prefilled propane bottles. They work for the casual camper. The expense and waste involved with the empty...

    seems like people are hiding ?

    It is just the nature of online socializing. Just like the real world, takes all kinds to keep the world turning. People with a wish to maintain some level of anonymity are not rare nor are they aberrant. In reality the vast majority of us will never meet in person so I have no curiosity about...

    I totally scored on my Mystery Box!

    Weird I thought it was supposed to be “a” mystery box not half of a UPS truck. I may get roasted for this, but I am looking at large pile of boxes, some looking like they may well contain an air gun. Then you add in a YouTube influencer and a corn ball pose. Mix all this up with a questionable...

    Fps all over the place on BRK atomic regulated gun

    No way BRK made just one defective gun? Just kidding L.Leon. Couldn’t resist. I would change the breech seal, see what happens and if no resolution try tuning the gun from scratch. God only knows what some people who don’t know how to tune subject a perfectly good gun to. If that doesn’t fix it...
