    AGT vulcan 2 hammer grinding

    I have a vulcan 2 bought used around 2 years ago. The previuos owner said the gun was new, he bought it for his daughter, but she was not interested in the hobby, so he sold it. I had a long time problem with the hammer grinding against the action while cocking. You can see on the picture some...

    RPM equal important as twist rate?

    A question for you knowledgeable out there: I see allot of discussin about 1/16 twist vs 1/18, and so on. Usually faster twist = better for slugs, seems to be what most agree on. But if a slug in a slower twist barrel are shot faster, so it spins with the same rpm as the faster twist barrel at...

    Putting gun in water to find leaks

    Do not do it! Posting this so others can learn from my mistake. Had a slow leak on my impact, I could not figure out. As a quick way of finding it, I took the barrel, and scope off, and dropped it in water. Thought it would do no harm, if I kept the gun in a warm room afterwards. Turned out it...

    Tuning A good video about lubing pcp

    Think this video by sub12 airgunners is very good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj6gsyTDqbg&ab_channel=Sub12Airgunners. Among all the repair viedoes I have seen on youtube, none have actually made a video dedicated to lubing. Think it is good information for both beginners, and more...

    Tuning A simple step to make the trigger on vulcan 2 lighter

    I have owned my vulcan 2 some days now, and have adjusted the trigger a couple of times, to make it lighter and more crisp. Today I took off some tension on the spring on the trigger linkage which will make both 1. stage, and 2. stage a litle lighter. There is youtube videos out there describing...

    Got myself a vulcan 2 tactical

    Got a oportunity to buy a vulcan 2 in .177. Theese guns are not on sale in any store, where I live, and the previous owner had just test fired the gun, and let it sit for a few month. So it is basically a new rifle. Could not let this oportunity pass. Did clean it, chronied it, and startet...

    Something to beware of when trying out slugs, regarding lead fouling

    Resently I tried some slugs out of my taipan veteran in .177. Not that I expected good results from it, but wanted to try anyway. After that I cleaned the barrel with patch worm. When I went back to pellets, I had some really bad fliers, and the grouping was not as good as before. Tried leading...

    Was my taipan veteran barrel indexed?

    Some time ago I did install a huma reg in my .177 taipan veteran. As I had the gun apart I also took the oportunity to inspect the transferport, to check if it had no burrs in it (it did not). I did notice the barrel was not screwed all the way in. There was maybe 1/4 turns left, before it...

    Tuning Take the liner out, when installing a high flow transfer port on FX barrel?

    I wondered if it is nescesarry to take the liner out, before heating the brass peace, to install a high flow port? I have seen on youtube videos on how to take the brass peace off, while using heat, but as far as I can recall, no one did mention if they took liner out. My guess would be...

    What happens when a pellet or slug is oversized?

    I am asking this question to get better understanding of internal ballistics, and to educate myself . I have no problem understanding what a undersized pellet can do, but what is the real deal if the pellet is bigger than you need? Except for that they will be harder to load, does it really matters?

    Anyone know if a reg for FX wildcat fits into a taipan veteran?

    I have a huma reg for a wildcat which I do not use, and wondered if it would fit into the tube of my veteran? I measured the OD`s of both tube, and the OD of the taipan is 2mm bigger. But it is the ID which matter, so if anyone know the ID of the taipan tube, it might be helpfull also. I might...

    The difference between a indicator and a gauge

    I have probably posted this video by Robert Lane before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdoY-4EtYd0, but I think it never can be watched to much. I see many complain about the gauges on some guns are not accurate, or why one gun has different reg pressure than another one. But after watching...

    Focus adjustment the most important factor?

    I am have relative litle experiance in scopes. But I have personally learned to use allot of time on adjusting the focus on a my scopes. When I got new glasses, I went over all of them again. I see in some threads when people are comparing scopes they have looked true all, but have they really...

    New taipan owner and a question

    Since I am a satisfied owner several FX guns, I got tempted to try something different to play with, and went ahead and bought a taipan veteran standard in .177. So far my impression of the gun are good. It needed some adjustment from the factory tune, as it was shooting JSB heavy at 1040fps...

    What causes recoil on a pcp ?

    I sometimes wonder what is the reason for the relative high recoil on my impact shooting in .25 cal. It seems to have more recoil than a .22 rimfire, even the energy is lower. I believe it is not the weight of the projectile, but rather the weight of the compressed air moving inside the gun...

    My experiance with POI change on smooth twist X barrels.

    I am a owner of 3 FX guns with smooth twist X barrels, a wildcat mk2, a crown, and a impact. In my experiance the main reason for POI change is the barrel leading up. By that I mean if I experiance POI drifting while sitting on the bench on a calm day. I have 3 calibers, .177, .22, and .25...
