Air Shootist, I’m a fan of their scopes, but their customer service is dog crap! I recently damaged my scope. Per their website and warranty info, they will replace the scope if it’s been damaged regardless how the damage occurred. Their only disclaimer is the damage can’t just be cosmetic. It...

The term "This is where you go astray" is subjective to your opinion. So what you're saying is, (theoretically) if you were a car manufacturer and a potential customer came to you and said "Hey, I'm interested in one of your vehicles. Buy before I pull the trigger on the purchase, I'd like to...

The real question is this: A .177 slug out of a springer at 27 yards..... Did it hit where you were aiming? I'm looking at the circumference of the slug that expanded for any evidence of engagement from the lands, and I really don't see any. 

Mike, let me ask you a question. Are you making your own barrels for personal use, or for sale to the general public? If they're for personal use, I fully understand why you wouldn't divulge your "special blend of herbs and spices". However, if you make them for sale, the buyer has a right to...

Doug has historically been more active on GTA. If you go there and post your question, you'll get a reply. But just out of curiosity, are you upgrading your rifle from .25 to .257? Or are you just wanting the additional power from a valve with larger ports on it? I would imagine Doug's work...

I own 1 PCP air rifle. It's a HIGHLY modified .25 Condor SS. I think the frame is the only stock thing left on the gun. That being said..... I'm very familiar with the nuances of the AF platform. It sounds like the "tophat" in reference is the "Spin Lock" that allows you to swap orifices to...

You're correct. The website says it will require a 1:12 twist. I didn't even notice that until you responded. 

I agree with James D. Get the .257. All of the AF big bores are accurate, but the .257 is EXCEPTIONALLY accurate. Even with the stock barrel. The caliber / twist combo found a sweet spot on that rifle. You can find LOTS of videos online of long range shooters using the .257 Condor or Texan...

Well..... I apologize for the silence. I'm not shooting the .30 or .357 Texan. But I have a friend that shoots the .257, and it is a long range TACK DRIVER! The other big bore models from Air Force are accurate, but not like the .257. My buddy shoots a 71gr boat tail that he casts himself from...

It's difficult to say it's good without a reference of MOA measurement. Is the black line on each target 1" long? If so, that's GREAT for 200 yards. 

GTA is run with mafia mentality. I was chastised once for quoting an email correspondence between myself and Paul from PCP Tunes. Let it be known that the email wasn't bashing him. I was actually defending one of his products. The correspondence on GTA was very copacetic. No one was in duress or...

WAYYYY too many variables to call this one. Muzzle velocity, power, suppressor, efficiency, and caliber all play into this equation. I have a highly modified AF Condor in .25 that makes 81fpe at the muzzle. I use a DonnyFL Ronin in .30 to quiet it down. The slug hitting the target is louder than...

I don't think emissions are an issue with lead. When it's in it's liquid form (melted), there are fumes, but they're not creating carbon emissions as there's no conversion process from one organic form to another creating airborne carbon when the heat is being applied (1st law of...

Problem with big bores is they're difficult to regulate. It requires a HUGE plenum, and a HUGE valve to dump the air in the plenum without getting "valve dump". An expert in regulating big bores is Mr Doug Noble. He's fabricated his own regulators for his bench rest competition big bores. The...

Stephen from AVS Slugs did a YouTube video where he tested the Air Venturi Avenger right out of the box with his 34gr .254 slugs. And at 50 yards he had solid accuracy! He did NOTHING to tune the gun. He didn't even clean the barrel. Just took it straight out of the box to the range. So I'm...

There's a LOT left to cover on this topic. Not sure about the Katran standard, but there are some guys on YouTube that have had amazing results shooting slugs from the Taipan Veteran. Especially the long because the longer barrel length allows for more power. The length of the slug will be...

I would LOVE to purchase some molds from NOE. But the molds I want are ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS sold out! I called them one time and inquired why this was the case, and he told me that he cuts the molds in batches. And I'd have to just wait and watch. Well...... It's been a year, and the mold...
