    GX CS4 100hrs Cylinder Pulled, Was it Worth It

    Apologies for a long one I'm assuming that it hasn't been just me watching the hour meter climb and wondering whether, "Have I been greasing enough, or over greasing?" Or, "Does my connecting rod still have grease?" Well I figured I'd find out since no one has post anything about a long term PM...

    Stoeger Updated Warranty Replacement for XM1 Bullshark Arrived From Benelli Today

    Received my new Bullshark yesterday. Sat down to clean it and go over it this morning and found bad tooling just inside the muzzle, last 1/4 inch. I believe that I must have the worst luck with barrels as possible. (Still working out buying a new barrel for my big bore because I didn't get a...

    AEA Challenger Elite Bore scoped YUCK! Updated

    Got my .457 Challenger Elite last spring as my first pcp. Despite negative opinions I took the chance with AEA because I don't mind tinkering. Certainly hasn't been a straight out of the box gun. Regulator issues, 1st replacement my doing, 2nd because originally owners manual didn't include the...

    Gun Cabinet/Indoor Pellet Trap Build

    Got a 10 meter Crosman Challenger Pro recently so needed to make an indoor pellet trap, plus getting to many guns and all else that accumulates once you start down the PCP rabbit hole. (It's to shallow for my big bore though.) Live in a small family fatm house built in 1903 so space is limited...

    Crosman Seeking info about an older Crosman Challenger Pro I just received

    Just had this fall into my hands today and know nothing about it. Was talking to someone today about my current project of making pellet traps for some indoor shooting of my break barrel and 40+ yr old bb pistol my dad found stored away. They said they had this laying around unused for several...

    AEA Update Challanger Elite .457 Finally Right

    Life got in the way of finishing up getting my gun right so feel this update is over due. Replaced Regulator Core twice. The 1st I backed out to far and blew an o-ring (have since replace that and so have a spare reg core now). The 2nd I damaged over time by adjusting reg pressure down without...

    Other Big Bore Lead Traps Targets Anyone?

    Haven't seen anyone mention making a lead trap target for their big bores. New to pcp's and casting, but I hate wasting money unnecessarily and lead cost money. Got my idea off another forum for indoor pistol shooting. I wanted something mobile though. This has worked with no issues shooting my...

    AEA Will heavier hammer solve valve bounce. Company sent wrong one

    New to pcp's. Valve bouncing, company sent free replacement spring but heavier and wrong dimensions. Not sure if worth the effort to make work or just wait for another. This is for .457 Challenger Elite.

    AEA Challenger Elite.457 Head Aches

    New to pcps and here, but lurking a while trying to learn. But this gun has had a steep learning curve. Got the Challenger Elite .457 about 4 months back, because externally regulated and didn't want to deal a shot bell curve with my 1st pcp. But it's been a head ache. First blew o-ring in...
