    Airgun Technologies Slowly but surely getting the V3 700 (.22) tuned

    With work and the weather ( frequently cold, windy and rainy lately ) it's been slow but I'm making some headway. I discovered some .216 NSA 27.5's that I (apparently) didn't have any luck with from some other gun so I figured I'd give them a try. Initial impressions from a week or two ago ( I...

    N/A Huma Regs -- can they handle > 250 bar?

    I've got a gun that can handle a 300 bar fill. I don't have a reg tester for the reg that it ships with -- I'm tuning it but . . . guessing with minor incremental changes -- you know - kind of a pia not to mention going through air bleeding it off between changes. I could slap a huma in it...

    Airgun Technologies New AGT magazines?

    I posted recently re: a new V3 700mm in .22 that I recently purchased. They come with two mags - 12 shots per for .22. I already had four of them for the smaller 500m V3 that I already own. Initially I didn't notice the new magazines that the new gun came with as both are same caliber - so I...

    Airgun Technologies New gun - .22 Vulcan 3 700mm / Synthetic Stock - Slugs - what are you guys running?

    Per the title of this thread - I just got my new gun yesterday (Friday 05 April) and did some very early testing with it today with the little bit of ammo I happen to have available. I bought it from Talon Tunes and asked Tony to tune it so that I could get 32 - 34 grain slugs flying out of it...

    Airgun Technologies First world problems (I "need" this new gun . . . ) lol (( 700mm V3 in .22 ))

    So the subject says it. ( lol ) I "need" another gun like a need another hole in my head but . . . I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one up from Tony @Talontunes. Keeping it simple I just grabbed one of the black synthetic stock ones. For those of you who have one - straight out of...

    HW/Weihrauch HW100 barrel band o-ring size

    Hey guys - subject asks it - anyone know what the size is? Mine broke and I'd like to replace it. I've just wrapped a bit of electrical tape around the tube for the time being but I'd just assume have the o-ring back in place if I can find the one. Thanks . . .

    Airgun Technologies .22 Vulcan 3 500mm - can I flip the plenum tube on it like the longer 700's can?

    Subject asks it. I probably shouldn't but . . . . I might too. <grin> It's cold and crappy out and I'm bored. :sneaky: I have subjected gun and it shoots pellets *really* well and I get a really good shot count out of it - wouldn't mind a little more 'oomph' out of it though even given...

    BOG Adrenaline Bipod?

    Hi guys -- readers digest, I went from a hatchback suv style vehicle to a sedan with a trunk. With my old vehicle I left the rear seats down all the time and with the entire rear opening up it was a breeze to keep my rifle in a hard case back there along with tools, shooting sticks, etc ...

    Benjamin rebuild an old gen2 mrod / need a set of o-rings for huma reg

    Hey guys . . . 'tis the season - at least here in the north east U.S.A. Cold, crappy and (still) mostly dark. One of my farm permissions may very well be letting me switch the lights off in his barns to wack starlings. I've got an older model sightmark wraith scope that works pretty good -...

    boat tail slugs - anyone using them for hunting?

    . . . just curious. Obviously 99% of the current 'mainstream' slugs in XX weights and calibers are hollow points that do (or not) expand on impact with intended prey. I've been seeing / reading a lot recently about how good the BT's (apparently) fly and quite accurately too. Subject asks it.

    I shoulda played the lottery today . . .

    I shoulda played the lottery today . . . . . . or that starling shouldn't have perched up there. ( I'm off today - burning a vaca day from work - just 'cause - {sigh} crappy weather outside now BUT still . . . better than being at work ) So . . . prior to the weather going south on us, I...

    Chuckie #14 has gone to heaven

    . . . after a slow start to this year - the chuckie's have started "cooperating" with me a little more and I've actually managed to drop quite a few of them this year. #14 here went earlier today on my way home from work at one of my local dairy farm permissions. I didn't have a "chuckie" gun...

    jsb 13.43's - "old" ( original ) ones or the redesigns for 20ft/lb limit ft?

    Hi - question asks it. Readers digest - my regular shooting partner in the local ft meets shoots the 13.43's and he's doing really well with them. ( I don't know which ones - original flavor or the rd's - I just pm'd him asking . . . ;-) ) I've been shooting regular jsb 10.34's pretty much...

    My longest attempt yet - .25 cal RTI - 291 yds

    In a nutshell - Molly (my dog ) and I set out to one of my farm permissions as I recently discovered a nice big field near one of the farmers other properties. He's given me permission to do pretty much whatever I want - cool! I wanted to get the .25 ranged out to 150 - 160 yds and mark up the...

    RTI Prophet Performance 1 (1st gen) - Grub screw that holds the barrel in place - M7x1.0??

    I have (three actually) of the subjected guns - .177, .22, and .25. In a nutshell I managed to strip / round out the allen / hex key on the grub screw that keeps the barrel in place. Fortunately I was able to get it out and just for the heck of it I took it into a nearby Lowes as I know they...

    Finally landed chuckie #1 with the rti .25

    Subject says it. I built that gun specifically for chuckies and so far this year the other 8 have all come via different guns. I was in the right place at the right time AND happened to have that chuckie gun. It's an original Prophet Performance 1 but it does have the newer RPB barrel in it...

    The Taipan strikes again

    .22 long, .217 23g H&N slugs, 935'ish fps. 100 yds. Big fatty too. I knew I connected but as the grass was kind of deep, and I was below him ... I didn't see him when he initially went down. I kept looking through the scope and then saw the "helicopter tail". Booyah. I took him off the...

    This little gun - it's a vicious little beastie ( lol )

    RTI Prophet Performance 1 that I purchased from a fellow member here on AGN. He sold it to me with the LR .22 barrel in it - but I already had one of those - I wanted a .177 and already had the barrel. Readers digest - I initially tested the 13.43 jsb ko's in it and they shot surprisingly...

    Projectiles .218 H&N 27g slugs for .217's of the same

    Hi - I've never posted in the classifieds - hope I'm doing this right. In a nutshell I picked up a bunch of .218 slugs a few years ago as I got it into my head that a slug gun I was building would like .218's. It didn't. None of my .22 slug guns do - they like either .216 or .217's. So . . ...

    Chuckie(s) 6 & 7 on the year - with multiple guns but NOT the one I build specifically FOR chuckies . . . ( lol )

    <grin> Subject says it. I built up a .25 cal RTI Prophet Performance (1st gen) with an upgraded RPB barrel in it. It's dead accurate and I tied for 1st place with another guy @the local field target meet a week or two ago in the first "XFT" meet that they had. It's a shooter. Have any...
