    Good results with lube...

    My .177 TX200 shoots pretty good with JSB 10.34's (labeled as 4.52), and H&N FTT 8.64's (also labeled as 4.52). (Strangely, it's not so good with a lot of other pellet weights and diameters, for some reason). Unfortunately, the H&N's which are labeled as 4.52 mm, and actually measure...

    TX200 mkIII barrel shroud question.

    I am considering getting one of these in .177 and have a question about cleaning the barrel with a crown saver pull through. Does the TX200 mkIII barrel shroud have a removable threaded end piece like the TX200 carbine version seems to have? It appears the carbine version has a removable...

    Thumbs up to Crossman...

    I don't know if anyone from Crossman will read this, but... THANKS. I recently chrono'd my 3 year old marauder F&T and the velocity went from 860 last year to 710 this year. I was getting 710 all the way down to 800 psi, so I figured the reg was at issue. I called them to order a new reg and...

    Tuning adjusting a .177 F&T Marauder regulator, and other questions...

    My F&T .177 Marauder is about 3 years old. It originally shot JSB 10.34's at 870 fps and I got around 70 shots before the velocity dropped. I just checked the velocity and now it's shooting at 710 fps and I get about 120 shots before the velocity drops off to the 690's. It drops off when the...

    Daystate Revere Red Flag...no mags available, worldwide!

    So I'm thinking I could really use a Daystate Huntsman Revere in .177. Accurate, nice and light, side lever cocking, and looks great. However... I always like to have a few extra magazines. If I'm hard at work knocking off pinecones from a pine tree it just won't do to stop every 13 shots to...

    "Best?" PCP for offhand shooting...

    I've been wanting to ask this question for a while. Almost all my shooting is offhand (standing) target shooting. Anywhere from 15 to 80 yards. I have 2 PCP's, an Impact X in .22 and a Marauder F&T in .177, and with them, I can hit 80 yard tin cans with both "most of the time" (> +/- 50%), not...

    [WTS] SOLD HW44 & HW110 .177 mags for sale (4)

    I have 4 mags for sale as described above. I no longer have a HW44 as the gun was returned during the warranty period. These were extras and were hardly used. They are currently for sale at a well know vendor for $27.99 each. I will sell them at $10 each and will also ask for $5 toward a flat...

    Marauder fill pressures...

    I just ordered a Marauder .177 F&T from PA. It is the regulated version. I'll need to do some chrono work to get it nailed down but at what PSI (per the gauge) does the velocity start to drop on the stock settings? (NOT the number of shots, please)

    Bad Vendor experience, what would you do?

    I bought a HW44 new (May 2019) from _ _, and it has been an utter failure. 3 times it has had a major air leaks from around the magazine opening. The first time I sent it in they apparently had to remove the "fixed" moderator, and it came back scratched with a couple extra set screws. 200...

    Marauder "Custom Shop" response...

    I was kicking around the idea of picking up a custom shop marauder, thinking it would be something I could put a lot of pellets through and be able to fix myself as needed, and maybe it wouldn't be as fussy as my $1,999.00 boutique gun. I also wanted it with the synthetic stock as I shoot...

    FX Impact X .22 loosing power...

    My FX Impact X .22 (AMP reg model) is 5 months old and was setup with factory recommended specs for a .22: Reg at 110, HST at 19mm (on Max) Valve spring at original 4 lines. (I'm using JSB 18.13's, and have put over 10,000 rounds through it.) My velocities "were": setting #2: 748-753, #4...

    My new.177 HW44 is 1,000 rounds old!

    Yup, got it from Pyramid Air a couple of weeks ago, and somehow managed a VERY GOOD deal. Short story... I put a Burris 2-7X32 Pistol Scope on it, and can hit aluminum cans (it actually seems to prefer beer cans for some reason) off a 2X4 at 40 yards offhand. I dial the scope to 4X or 5X and...

    How to clean a HW44 barrel with the dedicated moderator on it?

    I don't have one "yet", but since I always clean a new barrel, and as needed, I'm a little hesitant of buying a HW44 because of the fixed mod. I'm not sure if a straw is the best method, but since the mod will not come off, I would hate to have a patch get hung up and damage some plastic baffles...

    PCP pistol noise comparison

    How loud are PCP pistols compared to something like a HW45/Beeman P1, which are very quite springers? I'm interested in .177 with a velocity around 500 fps.

    FX Impact X questions

    I just ordered a FX Impact X in .22 and expect to get it in a few days. I've read the recommendations to not dry fire the gun. How do you know when you've reached the last pellet in the mag? And, if you're done shooting and decide to remove the mag, should you just leave the hammer cocked? Leave...

    FX Impact noise and other stuff...

    I've been bitten by the FX Impact X. (I'm not sure there is an antidote). #1: I'm thinking of getting my first PCP. For those that have knowledge of Impacts: if you dial down the power, does that make it more quiet? (I'm expecting a yes here!) #2: Another Impact question: I see that the air...
