    Tuning Terminador Slugs

    He shows some expansion on gel & it looks pretty good. One of the videos he explains why he went to pure lead for expansion. I may have to get some to try out. He gets some pretty good accuracy from his rifles, but I haven’t seen any of his rifles that has a CZ barrel like my Caiman X.

    Tuning Terminador Slugs

    Anyone with experience with these slugs? Found his YouTube channel & he seems to have good luck with them. Just can’t find any info on them. https://youtu.be/TM1WwE3MmHA

    Tuning Air turbulence

    Tore my .22 cal Caiman X down for a good cleaning & checking things over. I found that the transfer port (in the receiver) is threaded. I assume for a restrictor. Question is can the threads in the transfer port cause turbulence that could affect the performance of the gun? Right now it’s tuned...

    Katran owners

    If someone with a Katran .22 could take a couple of measurements when you have the barrel out would awesome. I’m looking to maybe if possibly getting a Katran Hp barrel & installing it in my Caimam X for slugs. Need barrel O.D, length to grub screw flats for securing barrel & length to Transfer...

    Ataman BP17

    I second the Caiman or the Caiman X, mainly the X, since that’s the one I have. I have freind that had the Ataman but after he shot my X he sold it. His Ataman was fairly loud, by the time he got it as quite as my X it was the same length. I have my X shooting 46fpe now & it’s louder now but...

    I am blown away by what this rifle can do, so was the Squirrel 🐿

    Another great shot there!! Those .17’s are pretty amazing once you get them dialed in. That’s another caliber on my slug gun list.

    PROD vs Bullpup

    I think weight is weight. BullPup will balance better but when your carrying a rifle all day 6lbs is still 6lbs. The issue I ran into was shot count, my PRod would only get about 3 mags(if I remember correctly), I had the PRod converted to .25 cal carbine. It’s an awesome gun in .25. But my...

    Katran .22 Cal Long 520 mm barrel

    Congrats on the new rifle!! I’ve been eyeing the Compact. I’d love to have one tuned to 20fpe. I’ve got a Caiman X & it’s a shooter for sure. I turned the regulator up just a tad & it’s pushing Jsb Knock Outs @910fps. Took a squirrel just the other day at 108.4yrds.

    Thanks. The shot was off a little bit. I was trying for base of the skull shot, but my vans window seal wasn’t the steadiest rest. 🤣🤣

    Yong Heng Question

    Got this thing fixed finally. Turned out I had install the the 2nd stage reed valve wrong. Finally found a video of a guy putting the 2md stage head together for reference. Got it together & turned it on, at 4k psi I turned it off.

    Yong Heng Question

    Also there seems to be a lot of oil on the inside of the 1st stage cylinder wall & on top of the piston. But the oil control ring seems fine & right in the bore.

    Yong Heng Question

    Went back through this thing & I believe I had the top reed in backwards, now it doesn’t loose pressure but it want build past 3100. When it hits 3100 that’s it, I let run for about 4 minutes at 3100 then just turned it off cause it wasn’t going any higher. Didn’t bleed the system for 10 minutes...

    Tuning Tuning question

    Yeah you’ve told me that In another thread but I could never understand why. I didn’t doubt what you said in my other post but the way my mind works I needed to see it. I only ran 2 mags across the chrony, I couldn’t attest for the efficiency & didn’t pay attention to my gauge. But as for power...

    Tuning Tuning question

    The hammer spring is ok. I can adjust the hammer spring down & get it as low as 775fps with 15.89’s. But the consistency is horrible, we’re taking 30-40fps spread over 1 mag. To get it consistent I have the hammer spring turned about 4-4.5 turns, that it where I get my smallest sd. I’m not sure...

    Tuning Tuning question

    I believe I’m at the lowest set point of the reg cause of I try to adjust it any more it doesn’t let any air into the plenum. So I think your spot on with the reg be at its operating limit. Next time I’ll take the reg apart & see if it’s bevel washers or spring. Also I never even thought about...
