    HW/Weihrauch HW100 bubbling paint on tank

    I am considering bvuying an HW100s. I haven't handled the gun and have some photos. One troubling thing is this bubbling at the fill end of the tank. Has anyone seen this before, or know what this is a symptom of? I mean, I can figure it's corrosion, and if I didn't get it for a bargain so I...

    Wildcat MK3 (not bottle) tuning question

    I recently bought a sub 12 W/cat mk3, .22. I am going to use this for shooting feral pigeons around buildings and inside warehouses, so I want the power around 10 fpe. It had been tuned previously to it's max potential of about 20 fpe, so I set the reg back down to about 55 /60 bar. Now when I...

    Tuning Tuning down a Brocock Compatto Mk2

    I am considering buying a Compatto MK2 .22 FAC rated gun. I want to know if this version can be tuned down to around 12 ft/lb? It's regulated, but no way of reading the reg setting, but there's ways of estimating that. I would probably try backing off the reg a bit, and lightening the hammer...

    Tuning Dreamline rough valve spring

    I had a slow leak start, and since it was exiting through the barrel, it had to be the valve area. So I took out the valve, leaving the valve seat in. What I found was that the valve spring had really rough ends, and had grated fine plastic from both the spring guide and back of valve stem...

    Tuning Dreamline trigger issue

    Hi, I write this feeling a little stupid. I have had my dreamline close to a year, and it lost all its air overnight, after no problems. So I thought I would give it a clean and check the obvious, like fill valve, tank, and reg O rings. I was looking at the trigger, and it had what looked like...

    Impact magazine

    Can the lower capacity mag fit the Mk2 impact? I am asking as while getting an import permit to buy an impact, the police who issue these were concerned at the large capacity mag. Frustrating. So I am seeing if I can buy it with a lower capacity mag. Thanks.

    Dreampup moderator/shroud

    I have just ordered myself a .22 dreampup. I am in NZ, and believe that there is no way to mount a silencer/moderator in it's current state. So what have others done? Is there and adapter that fits onto the end of the shroud, or can a new, bigger shroud kit be added that will quieten it down? I...

    Dreamline adjustability?

    I am considering getting a dreamline (dreampup) to replace my old Bobcat, .22. I like the Bobcat because I can use low power ( 9 ft/lb ) to shoot pest birds indoors, and then turn it up to full ( 30 ft/lb) for small game. This done by the three position knob. Can this be done with the...

    Finding that damn leak! FX Bobcat

    I feel like i'm asking about a dinosaur in this age of many models since, and I have watched the videos on how to change the valve and seat on the Boss/Bobcat. It's just that I can't seem to find the leak. It's a Mark 2. I have a new valve and seat, but suspect that maybe the valve and piston...

    I have searched but havent found this subject, so thought i would ask. I have just bought a .22 Bobcat. My first bullpup style pcp mainly for pest work. I have noticed that on low and med power I can feel a puff of air on my cheek with each shot, but nothing on high power. I plan to take the...

    Do regulators need breaking in?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but regulators have moving parts, even though the movements are small. So would it be reasonable to expect a break in period? would a regulator that is settled in give a small spread in pellet speed? just putting it out there, value your opinions.

    Wildcat power adjustment

    Sorry if this is covered elsewhere. If I wanted to lower the power of a 30 fpe .22 wildcat to around 20 fpe, can that be done soley by adjusting or replacing the hammer spring, or would the regulator need adjusting too? I just don't need that much power and I'm not just trying to increase shot...

    Outlet valve spring. Fx cyclone

    I am about to install a regulator into my fx cyclone and also plan to change the outlet valve spring. Has anyone done this to a cyclone, anything to look out for, is it straight forward? I can't seem to find a strip down guide anywhere. Or what other fx rifles share the same valve system?

    Varying pellet speed and accuracy.

    I've got an FX Cyclone 177, and I'm struggling a little bit to get the accuracy I would expect from it. What I am interested in knowing is, if a pellet at say 750 Fps is not grouping so well, could an increase or decrease in velocity from the same gun give you better grouping with the same...

    F1 chrony problem

    I got an old F1 green chrony as part of a purchase. It has a display and an on off switch. When I turn it on the numbers keep turning over. If I cover up the slots the display shows 0000. As soon as I uncover either one the display starts turning over again. if I put a flat battery in the...

    Leopold competition scope. How to zero turrets

    Does anyone have the instructions or have it clear on how to zero the elevation turrets on a Leopold competition scope? I tried it once and was luckily at an indoor range. I ended up taking it right off, then back on. I would be keen to know the correct process. Thanks

    AA s510 ultimate sporter vs fx cyclone

    I'm looking at buying one of two guns. Both in 177. One is an AA s510 ultimate sporter, the other an fx cyclone. I have always wanted an fx gun, but I love the stock on the Air arms. I would be using the gun for pest control, pigeons and rabbits, so the lower power for indoors then higher power...
