    I now have skin in the compressor game -

    I have two Yong Heng compressors, both gifted to me. One from my next door neighbor, and one from forum member Mike in Nashville. The one from my neighbor had been doing just fine until a recent session where I presume I overworked it, filling all my guns and topping off my 45 minute scba & a...

    Benjamin Another P-Rod permutation

    Installed a JSAR P-Rod valve in one of my bottle builds that was previously powered with a Maximus valve coupled with a 2240 steel breech. I had another P-Rod tube, so I installed the JSAR valve in it, along with a Hill gauge block and aluminum hammer. So I took the above assembly, minus the...

    Hard to maintain a 1000 batting average -

    But 500 is still pretty good. Popped this young (cahones yet to descend) but fat male at close to 6:00 just an hour or so ago, he's already cleaned and marinating in zesty Italian dressing. He moved just as I was pulling the trigger, but it must have hit close because he jumped straight up and...

    Still batting a thousand -

    Didn't get into the WMA till a little after 4:00, went to my spot, after 45 minutes or so finally saw two, did my best to stalk to a comfortable range, but they dissapeared. Then I saw two more close to where I was before my stalk, so I backed out of the edge of the woods into the adjacent...

    Short hunt 2-25-2024

    A pretty and warm but windy day, decided to try my luck at the local WMA. Unfortunately so did some local hikers. The wind calmed down finally as I hoped it would, and right on cue, I see two squirrelzillas coming out to play - A few pics of the surroundings - I was able to pull off a...

    N/A Show us your mancave, boredom inspired airgun permutations

    I've had this P-Rod's action in a 1701 tube for awhile, it's been a hoot. But been housebound since Wednesday with a stomach virus, so boredom set in, and this is what I came up with - P-Rod guts in a 1701 tube, slightly modified Buckrail forearm & red dot, Huggett Atom moderator, DFL...

    Diana The Diana pcp on the home page banner -

    Is that a new/improved version of the XR200? Doesn't appear to be the same gun as the original XR200?

    Benjamin Is it possible and practical to mount a Crosman Challenger breech on a M-Rod tube?

    Maybe someone has thought of and/or tried this? Thanks in advance fellow AGN'ers, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    Celebrated the 46th anniversary of my 21st birthday -

    with a short hunt at the local WMA on Percy Priest Reservoir. With the chorus of the 70's hit Afternoon Delight running through my mind and a silly grin I got in the woods right at 3 and took a very relaxed meandering stroll. Decided to take the left fork in the trail leading into the WMA and...

    Hit the WMA for an hour under a certain condition*

    I don't normally squirrel hunt the opening weekend of deer season, but as the WMA is only 10 minutes from the house, decided to chance it. Luck was on my side, *no other vehicles parked at the entrance.* A couple of pics I took of the WMA on the last twofer hunt Didn't have much daylight...

    Popped a few, and I do mean POPPED! a few tree rats

    I've been jonesin' for a .25 for awhile now, so I was exited to give the Airgun /revisions tuned M-Rod .25 a spin. Turns out I was 3 for 5 shots taken, but I was not prepared for the difference in impact and tissue damage. Wow is an understatement. first squirrel sighting & shot taken, from...

    One For One

    No pics other than this one. Marauder pistol action, Marauder rifle 20" LW 22 barrel, modified Fortitude tube in a Maximus stock shooting 14.3 points@24 fpe for 3 clips. Last light of the day, from 43 paces, just a bit ago -

    Benjamin Have any of our airgun brethren ever used a P-Rod trigger group on a Gen. 2 Marauder?

    Have been wanting to acquire a .25 pcp, and recently got a great deal on a .25 Marauder. Had no idea they were this heavy, so I'm open to any ideas or solutions, thoughts on the subject, links, etc.. Thank you in advance, Vines

    Airgun Revisions running a great deal on a P-Rod -

    $322.00 on the website, just pulled the trigger on one. Combined it with PayPal pay in 4 plan, a no brainer. Ironically, just moved one set of P-Rod internals from a 1701 tube BACK to it's original tube in order to utilise a neglected Tom West stock. So this new one on the way will get the...

    It it possible to re-configure this tank with a male foster?

    It's a challenge to fill this tank from a Yong Heng, would be much simpler if it had a male foster with a check valve - EDIT: no check valve needed, my bad!!

    Name what you consider an underrated pellet -

    My choice is the Crosman 14.3 field hunting pellet. Although I've never hunted a field, have hunted in a field. But seriously, these pellets really shoot well in all of my .22 caliber ag's. I was testing some H&N Barracuda 18 grainers. They were doing pretty well out to around 35 yards, so moved...

    Do Yong Heng compressors have a hidden burst disc?

    Or did I just blow a piston ring, or seal? I just filled my first tank bigger than 15ci bottle, a 90ci unit. Ran it for around 8 minutes or so, got it up to 2000 psi from 500 psi. Let it cool for a good 15 minutes, then ran it to 4000 psi. I guess I was a little paranoid, so I attempted to...
