    Overheating power supply, modification GX Nuong, etc.

    || When running my GX CS3 compressor in hot weather (It was 38 C at the range), the power supply becomes quite hot. I removed the black plastic grill between the fan and the cover. The volume of air flow increased significantly, so I expect a reduction in operating temperature. FWIW, some of...

    How do you record and track your pellet/range results?

    I keep a spiral backed (college) notebool for each gun, recording Date; weather data every hour or two/when there is a significant change (temperature, humidity, wind); who else is there; accuracy for various pellets. Is there a better method? What else is useful to record? We shoot from...

    Spanish CPHP what lubrication?

    I have a bunch of US CPHP and about (10) tins of the new Spanish made CPHP. TThe Spanish ones are shinier and seem not to have lube, not as much lube, or a different lube. I've been testing them in my .22 Streamlines, DRS, S510 and come to the conclusion that they don't group quite as well...

    Pull through/barrel cleaning

    My most satisfactory pull-through has been the one I made from backing line, a pellet and a reduced diameter slug, stored in a breath mint container. A significant problem, for me, has been avoiding tangling while in use and in storage. I drop the slug down the barrel from the muzzle end, use...

    Crosman PHP 14.3 gr .22 with a few .177 in the tin

    I received a tin of Crosman Premier HP. 22 14.3 gr pellets that contained ~30 .177 pellets which appeared to be .177 CP domed 10.5 gr. As I used more tins, I will keep checking to see if that is the only tin. It is amusing and interesting because the package appeared to be completely normal...

    N/A Why don't PCPs all have safety burst disks?

    The only PCP that I recall that has/had a safety burst disk was my Kral Mega Marine. That is a feature that I value highly, but it seems that only a few guns have what seems an obvious safety feature. Many Kral have them, and a search shows that some: Trimex (never heard of that make), Niksan...

    SCBA tank, bottle, or portable compressor?

    I've had several compressors, smaller bottle, and now use GX CS3 portable compressor to direct fill at the range. I'm wondering if we can do a thread to list how others approach filling and what they consider to be the advantages and disadvantages of their preferred solution? I began with Yong...

    Nuong (GX CS1) compressor power supply repair

    My Nuong compressor's power supply failed (*The Nupong is a clone of GX CS1 and a zillion other shoebox compressors). These are the same type of power supply that is used for many 120 volt/12 volt compressors such as GX CS2 & CS3 I have a spare power supply, but of course I wanted to fix the...

    GX CS3 periodic service

    I haven't serviced my CS3 for about a year, so thought it was time, I used it periodically at home but most use is filling my guns during ~6 hours of continous shooting at the range, each week. The compressor runs for about 2 hours during that time, estimating ~100 hours per year. Pulling it...

    What gun, what criteria?

    We often see questions regarding advice for a gun, scope, compressor, or other equipment, but often the criteria isn't clear. What questions should one ask, and information should one include in an inquiry? Asking something like, "What would be a good air gun for me to buy?", seems more likely...

    Why do maximum pellet velocities differ between various guns?

    I have noticed significant differences between the maximum accurate pellet velociy between my various PCPs. My two Streamline .22s produce virtually identical groups at the same velocities (900 fps range), but my DRS 600 mm Classic .22 will achieve better groups with the same pellets at around...

    Has anyone tried these for 1,000 fps+ PCP at distances from 120 to 160 meters? I haven't been able to find any reviews.
