    Is this how this is how this us supposed to look? Its from a HUBEN GK1 V3.

    It's the opening valve on my Huben GK1. I got it a few months ago, emptied the mag twice, then it developed a leak. Due to other more pressing issues, I wasn't able to address the teardown until today. When I did, I noticed the face of the opening valve looks like it's made of concrete, and...

    How do you shoot your groups?

    I don't think you're allowed to shoot groups anymore. 🤔 I think they're calling that kind of thing a hate crime these days🥴😵‍💫🙄 Joke joke.. hehe😬 Lol.. ok. I finally kicked down and bought a nice sturdy carbon fiber tripod with built in ball head and I mounted an arca swiss plate to my air...

    What are you guys shooting?

    ..and therefore continue to provide more fun targets to shoot at. I'm thinking about pinning up a piece of bacon to attract yellow jackets (hornets). After all, 'tis the season...😉. ..and a good way to test the old wive's tail about hornets being able to follow the trajectory of rocks thrown at...

    Oil cooler for Tuxing 2 head compressor

    I finally got some video of my oil cooler mod I did on my Tuxing compressor. It could have been a bolt on modification, but I decided to drill a hole in the bottom of the cover and add a ⅜"x⅛" bulkhead fitting to be sure all the oil gets circulated, and to use as a power drain when changing the...

    Western Airguns Is the Western sidewinder barrel swap capable to other calibers?

    You can swap out barrels to whatever caliber you want. However, you have to be sure you're getting the same make of barrel. I called AOA this morning to find out what was available. I want a .22 cal barrel and mags. I got mine in 2023. They changed barrel manufacturers sometime after that...

    Best Moderator for Wester Airguns Sidewinder

    You can cut a ½" washer in half and make 2 spanners that fit the end cap. You can either weld a handle on it or just use it with pliers

    Western Airguns Western sidewinder diagram

    Preach on, brother. It's not just Western Airguns that's so stingy with the info. I'm having a problem with FX. They quit making the Revolution, and Airguns of Arizona is no longer their carrier. They got me on a double whammy. When I inquired about parts with their new carrier, Airguns of...

    I just came to make this same post. I saw a video short on YouTube. This looks interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing some thorough reviews. Here's a link to the video I saw

    Filter to separate rubber mulch from pellets

    At McMaster Carr, you can get any size mesh of many different materials and many different gauges of wire in many different types of weaves. You should use this setup as your rough filter, then run it through maybe a mesh with ¼ or 3/16" opening. It all depends on the largest caliber pellets...

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    Actually, my setup looks kinda hokey, but it works well. As for oil cooling, I have been pondering and checking prices on parts. Since the crankcase already has 2 tapped penetrations, I'd like to run a tee off the fill port for an oil return line and drill and tap the drain port to ¼" npt. Then...

    Tuxing Compressors

    Yes. Mine is set at around 5,100 psi. Just turn in the adjustable PRV it came with. Tighten it about one full rotation and set the pressure stop at whatever pressure. When the compressor shuts off, back the PRV off until it starts to bleed out. Then tighten it back until it stops bleeding. Done...

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    Idk how much it costs here. I understand why acetylene costs a lot, and even oxygen really. But our atmosphere is like 75% nitrogen. I don't know why it costs so much.

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    Update on the 6000 psi cylinders on ebay. I made them a lowball 2 for 1 offer. They turned me down. I went to see my guy at the weld supply place to inquire about pricing. He said they wouldn't sell me an empty one. The only option I had with them was to rent a CGA 677 cylinder with 6000 psi of...

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    I've got three of them like this (they came out of an old mini fountain that was tossed to the curb). I dropped the other two into a couple of socks and run each one to a cylinder head. Then each return line runs back to the shower head. .. but I recently found that a gatorade bottle with a...

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    Yea. I like the open cooling system too. I run a water pump to each head and the pumps put out a little more volume and pressure so I can run the return lines a couple feet above the reservoir and let the water free back down into it. That action cools the water off a lot. At first I ran into a...

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    I've actually got three fj40s. A 69, 73 and a 76. The 69 is all original and a complete rust bucket. It was a hunting rig most of its life. It's been punished here in California we have the strict smog laws but vehicles that are from 75 and older are exempt. The 76 is also all original and...

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    Yea. I know what you mean. I like pushing the envelope a little but I really like when I figure out a simple yet impactful hack. But then I don't know what to do with it. I wish I could download it the way I see it so everyone will understand it from that perspective, without all the back n...

    850nm vs 940nm for night vision. Which one do you use?

    It just occurred to me that they use ir lasers to cut metal. I'm wondering if the coyotes see it or feel it some other way. I really doubt they see it when it's at a color wavelength we don't even see.
