    Do You Shoot Airguns With Any Women?

    My wife isn't interested in shooting sports of any kind, usually I end up shooting targets with my brother. Air bows vs pellet guns: When my sons were young we had a couple of Air Javelin air bows. Relatively compact and quite accurate (several Robinhooded bolts) shooting at 30fpe. Had two of...

    Taipan New Slash videos posted by Taipan on YouTube

    So this approach is somewhat similar to the REPR regulator on the Leshiy2 where an external pressure gauge can be screwed in and a special tool is used for regulator adjustments (done externally on the L2). I'd have preferred a permanently mounted regulator gauge on the Slash along with an...

    Airgun Technologies VOTE: Which Caliber TAIPAN Veteran SLASH Semi-Auto should I review?

    Yes, .22 is the obvious choice since that caliber will likely make up the majority of sales. Since this might be (one of) the first Slash videos reviewing the actual performance of the commercially available version, I'm mostly interested in how it is adjusted and how it reacts to adjustments...

    Airgun Technologies VOTE: Which Caliber TAIPAN Veteran SLASH Semi-Auto should I review?

    I loosely referred to the version with the 420mm barrel as a compact just because it is the shorter version currently available. To be more accurate I haven't seen the term 'compact' used in the Taipan descriptions of the Slash. Though I would like to see them offer an even shorter barrel to...

    Airgun Technologies VOTE: Which Caliber TAIPAN Veteran SLASH Semi-Auto should I review?

    I ordered a .25 Slash Tactical compact instead of a .22 mostly because ... I hesitate to be honest here but I can't be the only one to think this way ... because I have so many tins of unused .25 cal pellets left over from an L2 and a Huben K1 I used to have. Plus the few .30s I've had in the...

    N/A Quietest

    The new 8-shot repeating Redback airbow by FX has a regulator and the typical FX smart tune controls. So the power on that one, unlike (most/all?) other dedicated airbows, can be adjusted from lower, quieter ~7fpe up to a very loud 100+fpe. A different approach would be to use Air Venturi Air...

    Which Airgun Accessories Do You Have That You find Indispensable?

    A Chronograph iis an indispensable tool for understanding the performance of your air guns. A well laid out work bench with a good set of tools helps a lot once you start working on your own airguns. A decent scope with a reticle that is easy to see, and a good shooting stand to secure your...

    Taipan Slash

    I'm waiting on a preorder of a .25 Tactical Slash from Talon Tunes. I'd be surprised if they are available at vendors for shipment in June. Balistas recent YouTube video on the Slash provided a nice visual overview of the Standard and Tactical models. But they still haven't released a promised...

    Taipan Comparing the Taipan Slash compared to the Huben K1 - Whether to buy a 1st release model instead of waiting for new owner feedback

    I was just coming back around to delete my erroneous post about the Steyr Pro X not being semi-auto. Since a correction was already posted I'll leave my original post alone. The Steyr Pro X picture I was looking at appeared to have a side cocking handle. I've never had a chance to shoot one and...

    Taipan Comparing the Taipan Slash compared to the Huben K1 - Whether to buy a 1st release model instead of waiting for new owner feedback

    The Steyr Pro X always gets good reviews combined with comments about the high price. I don't see it listed in a semi-auto version though. In my mind that's that's the fundamental difference between Hubens and the Slash and other more common manually cycled repeating models like the Pro X. JP

    Taipan Comparing the Taipan Slash compared to the Huben K1 - Whether to buy a 1st release model instead of waiting for new owner feedback

    I'm winding down my involvement with airguns so my Slash will probably end up in the classifieds within a year. The number of dependable adjustable-power semi-auto hunting airguns is still relatively small. The Huben K1 has been around long enough to have worked through any initial problems and...

    Taipan Comparing the Taipan Slash compared to the Huben K1 - Whether to buy a 1st release model instead of waiting for new owner feedback

    The suspense got to be too much, so I just preordered the only .25 compact Tactical Slash listed on the Talon Tunes web site. It may be risky to order a 1st release of a new model but it's also fun to be one of the first to get one to try. I just relisted a custom-shortened K1 in the...

    Other Drozd Blackbird

    I had three of these for a few years, two of them had been converted to HPA. The one running CO2 never worked 100% and had problems with leaking and freezing up. The two HPAs conversions bought off eBay with a upgraded chip they worked fine. I finally sold them because there wasn't any...

    Why didn't fx think of this when they made the fx chrony?

    It was less expensive to design the original FX chronographs without an internal screen. And a screen wasn't needed by most people since many folks already had a phone then which could use the FX chrony app to show and speak and record the chrony data at a distance removed from the device. This...

    PCP Rifle **SOLD** Huben .25 K1 custom Shortened to 28" by Krazcool - $975 shipped

    **SOLD** There are thousands of almost identical Huben K1s in use. I've had a couple of them and they were excellent for their size, dependable semi-auto action, and easily adjustable power. Last year I asked Kelly at Krazcool airguns to customize a .25 K1 by shortening it by about 4 inches...

    Optics * SOLD * Streamlight TLR-1 Light with Remote Switch for picatinny - $50 shipped

    * SOLD * I've had this Streamlight TLR-1 light with remote switch for several years. It was mounted a couple of times on different airguns but I don't have a need for it anymore. The light and remote switch work fine. I don't have the box for it anymore. It's is good working condition but it...

    Accessories *SOLD* 2 Different Butt stocks for the Huben GK1 Pistol: A one piece stock and a folding stock

    *SOLD* I purchased these two different butt stocks to try with a Huben GK1 I had last year. As you can see from the attached pictures, the designs are quite different from each other. One of them is a folding stock with a Saber Tactical stock brace connector to connect it to the rear of the...

    Accessories *SOLD* Omega 75cf (6.8L) 4500psi DOT-approved air tank from AoA 11/24

    *SOLD* I purchased this Omega 75cf (6.8L) 4500psi DOT-approved air tank from Airguns of Arizona in November of 2024. Filled it once and used it a couple of times, and no longer need it. The label (picture attached) shows a creation date of July 2024. The air tank has an HP3 valve, dual...
