    Pulsar or bobcat?

    Get yourself an FX Boss .30 (I'm assuming that you already have several .177 or .22 rifles). You can add a Huggett if you think that you really need it (try it first). You'll never regret the amazing power and accuracy of the Boss! It's in a different league altogether and since quiet is a...

    How should I exterminate red squirrels

    I suggest that you use black sunflower seed and just persevere and work on the patience thing - yes, the seed will initially bring loads of birds in and if you just wait a bit the squirrels will soon follow. For maximum effect do NOT shoot the birds and the squirrels will see them come and go...

    Another FX Impact with issues :(

    Sorry to hear this. For the record I love my FX Boss .30 - it is an amazing rifle on all counts and very well made to boot! This has to be an early adopter issue IMHO since it is not typical of FX quality. Hopefully FX will step up to the plate on this one (via AOA their US rep) and turn you...

    FX Impact Pellet Spiral - Possible Root Cause Found

    BTW, it is worth confirming that you really HAVE the transfer port problem. In my case I recovered shot pellets from some deep water and I noticed the same pattern of gouging on one side of every recovered pellet (as thought they had been scraped over a file or rasp). That is in addition to the...

    FX Impact Pellet Spiral - Possible Root Cause Found

    I was chatting to Kip a couple of weeks ago when I bought my FX Boss. He told me that it was him who had worked on my Wolverine - he used special tools to get in there and to gently "lap" and polish the burr off. I'd suggest very strongly that you have them do it for you under the warranty...

    FX Impact Pellet Spiral - Possible Root Cause Found

    I had this same problem with my Daystate Wolverine .22 when it was new. Accuracy at distance was all over the place and variable. In my case recovered pellets all had telltale damage along one side - with further investigation it turned out that there was a burr on my transfer port. (I later...

    New compressor about to hit the market

    Compressing the air in stages is done to allow the heat generated to be dissipated - you'll see that there is usually a cooling coil between each stage on good quality compressors. That way your tank doesn't end up boiling hot which would cause a big drop in pressure after it cooled down and...

    Have you ever had a pellet that was unbelievably inaccurate?

    I had a few top secret laser guided pellets to test for the Pentagon. All you had to do was lase the target exactly where you would like the impact to occur and then shoot your rifle in any direction - after that the pellet did the rest. Unfortunately due to government spending cuts my project...

    I've seen the same thing on a rock from a pellet that has passed through a squirrel ;) Sometimes even with a few hairs. Robert

    Final Modification To FX Boss ( I Hope !!! )

    Hi NCairgunner, I recently bought a Boss myself (at the AOA store) and while it is very quiet considering the power output I was wondering about replacing the stock shroud tube with a Huggett. I also have a Wolverine .22 limited edition with a full Hugget Shroud - it is quite a bit quieter...

    pump vs scuba tank

    The air from most breathing air compressors is very dry - however if you hold tissue paper in a stream of it you might find that the paper dampens I think because the air coming from the HP source will be very cold. That will cause any moisture in the room air to condense onto the very cold...

    Omga 75 Cu. Ft. tank gauge

    Sounds like the gauge has an internal leak (it is a curved brass tube usually soldered - the needle is attached to the end of it via gears). The feed to the gage has a tiny metering hole and the gauge itself is oil filled in case the gauge tube ruptures - both are to prevent you from getting...

    Need assistance setting up 220v for compressor

    You'll likely be a good bit under a full tank however because the air heats up as it is compressed. After your freshly filled 310 bar tank has cooled down again it will probably be less than 4400 psi. 330 bar cools down to just over 4500 which is just slightly over a full tank. (Back when I...

    Need assistance setting up 220v for compressor

    BTW, the air blow off valve is not adjustable on the Daystate compressor and it is a VERY expensive item. Since I bought my compressor in the AOA store I had them fit a 330 bar blow off (for my 4500 psi carbon tank) before I left with the compressor. If you are planning to fill to 4500 psi you...

    Need assistance setting up 220v for compressor

    I am running my new Daystate compressor from my dryer outlet. The only hassle was finding a plug that matched and then connecting it all. Currently our dryer needs to be unplugged to use my compressor and then reconnected afterwards (I guess I could have a dedicated outlet installed but with a...

    .30 FX Impact vs FX Boss

    Just got an FX Boss myself recently (Kip sold it to me) and I have tried it in my backyard a few times already (yeah I know) - however the "rifle" noise itself is really not loud at all. But I'll probably stick to my Daystate for occasional stealthy backyard target shooting. The Boss is an...

    Omega Super Charger

    Hi TexasHoosier, I was in the AOA store recently and I chose the Daystate (ie. Coltri) electric compressor. I also had a very good close up look at the Omega presser while I was in there which I was considering at the time to save some money. If you can possibly stretch your wallet to the...

    Happy with new Daystate 4500 Compressor

    HI, I also just got myself a new Daystate (ahem Coltri) paintball (ahem SCUBA) compressor. Well, I am very happy that I did - I filled some of my old SCUBA tanks from completely empty in just over 20 mins. Fantastic! Tops up my 97 cu/ft carbon Omega to 4500 psi in no time at all. It seems...
