    What’s the best trigger in the business

    I’ve been thinking about the most adjustable trigger with the cleanest break that I have had. So far the one that comes to mind is the HW100. Now not including the electronic triggers out there. Is there something I’ve been missing? I’ve had a Marauder trigger for quite some time on a discovery...

    All my bases covered

    After being involved in this hobby for close to 15 years now. I think I can say I’ve got all my bases covered. And for the first time since getting involved , I don’t have the itch to buy a new rifle. I will surely have to do some research on a new source of air in the next few months and even...

    Looking at an LPVO

    I’d like to get my Leshiy 2 set up so that I have two configurations. The first is complete with a 3x prism sight on a QD mount and 350mm barrel. The second I have a 500mm barrel but I’m in need of an optic with a bit more magnification. The Vortex 1-8x24 is really tempting as it comes in an FFP...

    Vector Calypos 3x quick review

    Here’s a quick review of my favourite short range scope . First off this is not the regular optic but a prism sight similar to how the military ACOG works. I’ve had this little beauty mounted to a few different rifles and even the PP750 and now finds its home on the Leshiy 2. Let me start off...

    Non choked FX barrel liners

    Does FX make any non choked barrels? To my dismay , I just can’t get either of the liners in .22 cal to shoot cast bullets very well. I have fitted a Brownells liner in .224 cal and it shoots lights out with the same cast bullet only sized to the barrel. I pushed a couple through the slug A...

    .172 cal Impact X

    Anyone else out there interested in a .172 cal Impact ? TJ’s has an already proven liner in 5/16” OD ( 8mm) and NOE bullet molds has an already proven 24grain bullet that fit in the new FX magazines . Tofazfou’s 17HmAir used this bullet and barrel combo . Since there aren’t any barrel...

    Impact x LOP

    I’ve been looking around the web for ideas on how to get a longer LOP on the Impact . The only thing I have found so far has been the hook style but pad replacements like the FT guys use . Anyone else have long monkey arms and a cheap solution ? I have about an inch or so to make up .

    .223 Windy City project

    I received the rifle today and after putting a few shots over the chrony for a base line started the disassembly . I was quite surprised when I measured the barrel with an AOL of just 17.5” . I will be replacing the barrel with a .222/ .223 liner that Brownells sells in 26” length. First on the...

    .177 FX sideshot magazine

    I received a new mag last week and I’m having issues with the pellets either jamming up or cocking sideways between shots . Anyone else having this problem . I have the FX version and not the original version . The .22 cal mag doesn’t have this issue they cycle fine . It looks like there is...

    FX slug liner alternative

    I stumbled across what appears to be a good choice for an inexpensive barrel liner for FX rifles with the X barrel system . With the popularity of slug shooting these days this might just be the ticket . There a a lot of molds in .223 to .225 cal that should do really well from this twist rate ...

    Sideshot /MKII magazine

    I received and fitted my new sideshot magazine the other day , and today while going through it and figuring it out I thought I’d try to see what the longest pellet would fit . To my surprise , even the 225-39FN bullets fit with just a slight bit of room to spare . They measure at.410 “and...

    Another monopod for Impact or other AR-15 grip

    I made a fully adjustable monopod that is easily removed , with zero modifications that will fit any hollow AR-15 grip . I made it for an Impact and it has almost three inches of travel . First step was to remove the existing hex bolt that holds the grip to the frame . I then cut a 4” long piece...
