    How long do I rub on my Impact bore before I give up?

    .30 Impact lost it's accuracy after about 1,000 shots. Decided to clean it. Took off the moderator and the barrel and ran patch after patch with Lead Wipe away, Ballistol, Goof-off spot remover, Brakleen and dry patches in rotation. None ever came out clean after at least a hundred passes total...

    .50 Hammer 0-rings?

    .50 Hammer "was" leaking out the regulator body. Took it apart and cleaned it. It was really crusty where the bigger 0-ring sits. Assembled with silicone grease on the old 0-rings and now it holds air, no leaks at all.............but I'm sure it will again (as nearly all PCP's)eventually do...

    FX Impact tensioned barrel question............/

    The way I see the set up, it is tensioning the barrel housing and not the actual barrel liner. To truly be a tensioned barrel, the liner would have to be threaded/captured on both ends. I see it as the tighter you turn the muzzle cap, the more the barrel housing is tensioned/stretched, relieving...

    FX Smooth twist X Superior barrel with BAD drill markings (22 cal M3)

    This is barrel out of my 700MM 22 caliber M3. Drill marks the full length.Would you say it's very bad? I didn't even know it until I cleaned it and too a look down it. This is a brand new barrel that I just received for an upgrade to my older rifle. All my other FX barrels (5) look great...

    7 revolutions of windage??

    I have a Discovery scope with 7 revolutions of windage...all with 'clicks. Problem, only two revolutions actually change the setting. I highly doubt that is normal. Most scopes have barely 4 turns. Send it back for warranty?

    Night vision scopes....so frustrating to choose one

    My Pusar is going bad with degradation. YouTube testimonials are mostly fake or paid it seems as well as Amazon or online reviews. Looking at several options and I really like the Pard 700 the best but reviews are bad. Same with the Pard 800, Sightmark Wraith 4K and the ATN X-Sight 4K Pro...

    Tactacam with Android phone :-(

    The Google Pixel 5 Android phone will not recognize the Tactacam no matter what I do with the phone settings. My old Android phone will connect, but it locks up more than 50% of the time when I try to use it. Do I need a non android phone? What is the cure. Not real happy with the $$$.$$ spent...

    Digital pressure gauges

    I have an Edgun and a Sekhmet digital pressure gauge. Like them both but the Sekhmet is easier to use and has a magnetic battery charger. Saw this on Aliexpress. I might have to try one and compare accuracy between the three on them on my 3 port manifold :)

    Dead calm "is where it's at"! 230 yard hits........./

    Emptied a tin that had 15 JSB .30 44 grain pellets. Set the crono and shot at my 230 yard ram. 146 BAR, Max hammer setting & valve just past 4 lines. Sadly the damned Tactacam won't work with my new google Pixle 5 Android phone and was really sketchy with my older Android phone (MAD!) Next...

    Gain twist rifleing?

    Gain twist is when the rifling starts out slow and the rate of twist is essentially a gradual increase in the rate of twist from the breech to the muzzle. Since spin is a factor in flight stabilization, would that be a benefit to diabalo shape pellets or slugs? Can projectiles be spun too fast...

    Best unmodifed .30 FX Impact for 230 yard slug shooting?

    I have several FX rifles and shooting at crows in the tree at 230 yards is a pain with wind, pellets, parallax and scope settings. I would like to get an Impact specifically and solely for shooting slugs at 230 yards. Grab the rifle and go :) I don't trust paid reviews and would like personal...

    Ataman AP-16 Can't fix a leak...HELP!

    My Ap-16 developed a leak that won't stop with new o-rings installed. The leak is between the frame and the plenum(see pictures ). Surgically cleaned and lubed, silicone greased the new 0-ring(as always) and it still leaks in the same place. Magnify shows no voids,cracks or any damage on the...
