    Too much reg, or not enough hammer tension or weight?

    Ok guys. My gun is the impact mk2 .25 cal. It have a slug power kit kit and 72 cc ppl installed. Front valve is past the 4th line so its fully open. I use the hex key to turn the screw next to the power wheel until the wheel can not turn anymore, so I know I'm max out. Then I back off a turn so...

    30 cal crush all other calibers???

    I got into airgun watching Ted video 10 plus years ago. Ted have always said, the best caliber in terms of weight, size, accuracy, buffing the wind, etc, was the .25 cal. How much he talks so highly of the .25 cal. That is why most of my guns are .25 cals. I own a few .22 too. But never 30 or 35...

    Slug A or superior heavy??? For slug only

    Hey guys. Have a .25 cal impact. I want to shoot only slugs. Been shooting pellets for the past 20 years but after seeing Matt dubbers videos on how well slugs handle in wind over pellets, I dont think I will go back to pellets. The days of pellets is over. The time for slug is now. Should I get...

    300 bar only for 2 regulator guns?

    Fx seem to make the new norm as 300 bar fill can only be use on guns with 2 regulators. But im looking at 300 bar guns and I see most only have 1 regulator. Example AEA guns do not have 2 regs and they are fill to 310 bars or 4500 psi. Umarex also makes 300 bar fill guns with single reg. The...

    Smooth twist x vs lw barrels.

    I dont own any lw barrels but i hear they are great on accuracy but get fowl quick. So you have to clean the barrels like after 100 shots. As for smooth twist barrels I only have experience with the impact and it shoot accurately and I never clean the barrels. I watch some of Ted's and Matt's...

    Can I use .22lr bullet in my airgun?

    Lots of people switching over to slug. But they cost like $15 for only 100 rounds. I saw some .22lr bullets pack of 50 for only $1.93. that's 100 rounds for less than $4. Wow. I don't own a 22lr cause I live in the city and can't shoot firearm. And shooting range charges $25 to go shoot there...

    Why are airgun more expensive than firearm.

    I can go out and buy a good .22 lr for under $200. I can go and buy a good 12g shotgun for about $300. I can buy a AR15 or AK47 for under $1000. Most decent airgun are $500-1000. And high end airgun $1500-2500. Really? Is it the labor, the parts, or just the brand name that makes them expensive...

    Never miss a shot again.

    I saw this a few years ago. It's a rifle scope that only shoot when you have your cross hair on the target. Even if you pull trigger, nothing will happen unless target is on the cross hair. Could this scope be set up for airgun? They claim you will never miss your target...

    First oil change question.

    Have about 4 hours runtime on my compressor. Oil is looking dark brown..using royal purple. I see people do oil change by just removing the small screw below the window to drain the old oil and just top it back. Wouldn't there still be some oil left that didn't get drain? So my question is...

    Will Huma reg fix fx impact reg creep?

    Like most fx impact/crown owner. I'm having this reg creep. Usually creeps about 5 bars over night. But if leave for few days to a week without shooting. It will creep from 140bar to 150 bar. I know dry fire 2-3 times will bring it back down to normal. But tired of having to do it every time I...
