    GX CS2 debugging

    My first GS CS2 failed after about 3.3 years of hard usage. So I plugged in my backup CS2 compressor (never used!) only to discover it also had a problem. My burst disc was broken, on a new CS2. In the above image, I believe the metal thing with the hole in it is the burst disc. The...

    Holosun Thermal (DRS-TH) -- and future optical-thermal hybrid scopes

    Is anyone planning on trying the Holosun Thermal (DRS-TH) for pesting? I currently have a 640x480 thermal (IRAY RICO RH50) but I'm curious if the red dot would be enough for most of my purposes. It's cheaper, smaller and overlays thermal over an optical image. So there's a decent amount to...

    Deluxe slingshot vs. pellet gun for hunting/pesting

    Any strong feelings about the difference between pesting with an airgun vs. a slingshot? There are nice "conversion kits" that turn bows into "barrelled" slingshots with red dot sights. These are pretty heavy-hitting things, shooting 15mm carbon steel ballbearings. They appear to give...

    Fill lines, pressure ratings, typical failure pressure over short periods of time

    Hi all, Once I was filling my SCBA bottle (unsupervised) and forgot to check up on it. The pump appears to have got the bottle up to about 340 bar, and the fill line burst. This has got me wondering, what is the landscape out there for PCP fill lines like? I don't know who really makes...

    EDgun SCBA burst disc replacement - correction: Edgun EZ-fill 360-degree adapter o-ring burst

    Hi all, I believe my "burst disc" for my Air Venturi 100 cu-in SCBA tank burst. This is the AV-4516HPT, in case the exact model matters. Is this something I should get a rebuild kit for, from the manufacturer, or are suitable replacement burst discs and parts easily obtained elsewhere...

    Seneca hunting pellets

    Hi there, I see Seneca Hunting Pellets are being sold in Canada now. They look really nice -- on the long and heavy side of pellets. Does anyone know what their lengths are? I'd rather not buy them if they're too long for my magazines. I'm primarily interested in the 32.4gr .22 cal...

    Edgun Leshiy classic in Canada

    If anyone in Canada has a Leshiy classic, I'd love to take it off your hands. Calibre does not matter much, but 0.22" mildly preferred. At present I'm not interested in anything cross-border as importation would likely be too much of a headache for me.

    Edgun Leshiy 2 jet kit, hole diameters vs. labels

    I've been curious to verify the hole diameters on my jet kit. So I bought a hole gauge kit, to measure. My kit can measure hole diameters between 0.2mm and 1.28mm in 0.02mm increments. What I'll do is list the largest gauge that fits in each jet. 0.1mm jets -- can't test. 0.2mm jets --...

    o-rings for foster fittings

    I recently had an o-ring for a foster fitting fail -- in the female 1/8" BSPP fitting in the image below. I did some searching on the forum and all the advice was for buna-n AS568-10 o-rings. But I have some of those, and they're far from what I need. My o-rings need to be 3/32" thick, but...

    EGW "Bell target"

    Recently acquired the EGW "Bell target" https://www.edgunwest.com/store/targets/item/bell-target/ These are made by someone in southern California. The design appears to have changed a little since EGW posted its advertisement. The above is the front. I think those are my grimy...

    I got into airguns for pesting. My job appears to be done.

    When we bought our house, the first few months I was too busy with home renovations to act. But there'd be raccoons fighting on our deck at night. Massive colonies of rats in our trees and the vines along our fences, and mice everywhere. The symptoms were bad: 1) taking a flashlight into...

    SWAT prismatic / Immersive Optics ?quick release?

    Are there any quick release attachments or mounts that fit the SWAT prismatic scopes, or equivalently the Immersive Optics scopes? I find I'd use mine more often if it had a QR. I mount my SWAT on top of a rail extender + riser. So if there were quick releases that fit onto those, I'd be...

    Extra-long slugs

    Has anyone tried experiments with "extra-long" slugs? I'm thinking of 80 or 100 grain .22 cal slugs. I imagine these would be almost an inch long. With those kinds of lengths you could make them football shaped and very aerodynamic. Curious if there has been much trials of those kinds of...

    pic-rail mounted IR illuminator for night-time pesting

    I'm looking for a small pic-rail mounted IR illuminator. i.e. not a big flashlight that hangs off the gun. Ideally it would be something like the o-light baldr lights. An IR-illuminator with an IR-laser pointer -- I sent a request to o-light to consider building one. This would be entirely...

    The heaviest slugs (or pellets), by calibre

    I'm interested in what the heaviest slug (or pellet) is, primarily for 0.22 and 0.30 cal. They need to be 11mm in length or shorter to be useful to me. Generally I find I can get slugs that are heavier than pellets for a given calibre and length, presumably because pellets need to have...

    Electic gun -- Gauss cannon

    Someone was asking recently when an electric gun would first be produced, as opposed to being powered by springs, compressed air or explosives. Here you go. https://youtu.be/eAHKS0nVlL4

    Sourcing BSPP pipe fittings

    I'm looking for a female BSPP to female BSPP adapter (both 1/8"), and this has me wondering, where do people source parts like this? I've gone to four different airgun websites and they often have male-male adapters, but female-female appear rare. Found a source on AliExpress but would prefer...

    Stock barrel shrouds on the Leshiy 2

    Does anyone know the lengths for the stock barrel shrouds for the Leshy 2? My understanding is just the tube for the long is 245mm long, but if you put the front and back plate on it, it'll be about 259.5mm. Curious to know if the short shroud is exactly 10cm shorter than the long. edit: ...

    Extracting maximal value from a cheap compressor

    I thought I'd post a little adaptation I've made to my cheap Amazon pump, that lets me use it to fill up relatively large air tanks. I have an affordable air-cooled pcp pump from Amazon, the GS compressor. It's great for filling up my rifle, but I've migrated to using a tank, and this pump...

    Slugs for the Leshiy 2

    Hi all, I bought the NSA slug "Sample Pack" in .30 cal and notice that some of the slugs fall through the Leshiy magazines. My impression is slugs fire the most reliably when they have a snug fit in the magazine. What are you all doing? Slugs that don't fit, after a few light taps on the...
