    Altaros ETA

    My last order was 10 days from order to arrival. I typically order at least 10 packs per order and the packages come via FedEx. Several US vendors exist, STO being one of them.

    Taipan Original vet leak

    I had a constant, very slow leak on one of my veterans, even after all orings replaced and reg rebuild. I keep a spray bottle with a fairly heavy mixture of water and Dawn dish liquid on hand, it works pretty well as a leak finder. Spraying with soapy water showed a tiny leak at the gauge to...

    Disassemble an STO Falx?

    It will vary, just inspect after the first thousand or so shots to see what it looks like. Lower energy pellet shooters may never require cleaning whereas higher energy slug shooters may shed more lead and require more frequent cleaning. Higher shot counts at higher energy levels typically...

    6k Nitrogen tank

    Thanks for sharing those details. In this area all of our 6KN2 cylinders are green, I have never seen a black one over here. Initially plans are to both feed and drive the booster with nitrogen. Depending on how much nitrogen this consumes will dictate if I change over to my shop compressor...

    6k Nitrogen tank

    Sorry, I misunderstood your posts. My cylinders are currently near the lower end of usefulness, one is 3200psi, the other is 2400psi. I was planning to exchange a cylinder this week, but today received word that my booster would ship either Friday or Monday. I plan to wait on the cylinder...

    My new P35

    Jim, I've enjoyed following your journey with the platform. I wrote a lot about the p15 over a few years, but keep mind it was a LOT of trial and error.....so i would recommend giving the later posts more weight than early posts. Really I didn't begin to fully understand the platform (and...

    My new P35

    A lathe would be ideal, but not a requirement. In my caveman shop I have only used my drill press and/or dremel, using files and sandpaper as cutting/finishing tools. High RPM's and a firm "tool" rest help with concentricity, using a light touch, as not to burn. For these crude methods my...

    My new P35

    As you begin to exceed 40 fpe, which typically requires higher reg settings, this platform greatly benefits from reducing poppet OD/sealing margin diameter. If you inspect the poppet and valve seat you will see the poppet's sealing margin is much larger in OD when compared to the valve throat...

    Taipan OG Veteran Tactical Stock

    I look forward to seeing what you come up with for the buttplate. I temporarily grafted on a piece of a skeleton buffer tube style stock but ultimately put the original buttplate back on. My stock came with the articulating knee but not the forearm piece. I've considered refinishing the wood...

    6k Nitrogen tank

    I will soon be adding a booster to my setup. How low can you take your N2 tank before it is no longer practical to boost? Agreed on the regulator being optional for many, especially if one is filling anything in excess of 300cc or so. I direct fill my guns and prefer to use a reg whenever the...

    Ballistol vs Shooters Choice Lead remover

    That's the model I have, x2, they have been somewhat abused for a couple of years now. Im sure there are better units available, but likely at a higher cost point. Great customer service as well, the light stopped working on one and the seller was very quick to send a replacement.
