Great shooting - it's not the arrows, it's the .... . Cheers, Greg

Athlon Heras SPR 6-24x56 FFP APRS9 reticle, FFP, IR, Mil less than 1 yr old in excellent condition. Selling because I wanted this for my backup Hunter Class FT rifle. After several tries in matches have decided that I would be happier with the SFP, MOA version of this scope. This scope is...

Sorry for the confusion. If you are only buying one rifle and FT is just one of several things you want to do with it (pesting, hunting, etc) then maybe a .22 is better. If FT is the most important and the other things are not as important, then get a .177. I have two.177 rifles (a primary...

Hi, My 2 cents - use a .22 for HFT if it is going to be your only air rifle and you want to do pesting or hunting with it also. If you are shooting American Field Target (Hunter Class) you are limited to 20 FPE. Typically, folks use AA or JSB 13.4 gr .22 pellets shooting them around 820 fps...

Hi Again, I did not mean to scare you off the rifle. I think you will find any .177 (short of the $5K Thomas or the nearly as costly Air Arms XTI ) has a tough time at 50 yds. The pellets are so small that any wind plays hell with the pellet stability as they are so short. The FX DRS at...

Hi Footloose, I have spent a lot of time with my .177 DRS Classic in 500mm. I am trying to get it to the point where it can be my backup FT (Hunter Class) rifle. I am looking to shott 13.4 gr pellets as I have had a lot of luck with the FX and JSB original monsters with the same pellet...

Hi Dale, If you get a chance to read some of my older posts, you will see that I make the argument that sorting pellets really doesn't make much difference. I did some extensive testing of several .177, .22, and 25 pellets in several different riffles and really didn't find any case where...

Hi, It appears that you have the Spring Carrier as far forward as it will go. That means you are compressing the spring the maximum amount. This certainly limits your range of adjustments using the features of the rifle. It is likely that you are getting close to not being able to cock the...

Actually, the formula typically used gives you 820 fps for 20 FPE using the 13.4 gr pellet. In the Grand Prix competitions there is a 2% allowance on velocity to allow for different chronograph types the shooter might have calibrated to and the official one at the match. This means that you...

Tom, Probably should check with Ed on the 10.3's. He has shot those a lot more than I have. I decided early on I wanted the heaviest .177 pellet that shot well for FT. Wind is a huge part of the FT problem at the longer ranges. Cheers, Greg

Tom, The reason I know that Crown likes the 4.52's better than the 4.54's is because of the extensive pellet testing I did right after I bought that rifle. I shot 10 30-yd Challenge cards using pellets randomly chosen from three different tins of FX 13.4 gr pellets purchased from three...

Hi Guys, Have been on the road for the last week in our annual "Escape from July" trip. Went to Maine to see if we could get some cool air. We did for part of the time but didn't need the sweatshirt I brought😕. Figured I needed a good start to the week so I got out the GM Crown and shot a...

Hi, Since the only path for air to get to the barrel is through the valve and valve seat, I expect something is still wrong. From the sound of your initial problem I expect that there was damage done to the receiver block by the hammer (may have been happening for a while and the damage was...

Lamar, Putting on the o-ring that broke off can be a PIA. It is a 2x1 NBR90 o-ring. The NBR 90 means that it is very stiff and hard (relative to the other ones - NBR 70). That is why Jeff and Jack of Sub12Airgunners made the "witches' hat" that B&K sell. In the video I sent they show how...

Cavedweller, Thanks. I was hoping that by making the graph the information might be more easily understood. You really should try a Falcon X503 FT 10-50x60. It is not as expensive as the Sightron SIII, but shares a lot of the same form factors. It is assembled in Japan using Japanese...

Hi Lamar, UA likely has all the parts and also whole new regulators. But only B&K sell the kit with the "witches' hat" and the puller tool. The response time from B&K is really good and I know they sell the old regulators. You can email them and they are great about replying. Europe...

Hi Lamar, My experience is that the Huma Regulator is not necessarily an improvement over the AMP 2 regulators. I found the "flat blade screwdriver" adjuster on the Huma to not be as easy to use as the Hex Head adjuster on the AMP 2. Also, when I de-gas the Crown I take the bottle off then...

Ed said, "OK, I wanna take this opportunity to brag... I shot the four 40-Masters cards today without a single "8" !! That is 80 straight shots - unsorted FX 18.13g straight from the tin - of 9 or better from 40 yards !" And Greg replies, " Love those Crowns !!!" Cheers, Greg P.S. - Awesome Ed!

Concurr!

Ed, I think the 380mm barrel on the Crown looks awesome! With the moderator it has the look of a hunting carbine, but shoots like a target rifle. A lot of folks pooh-pooh the Superlight barrel system, but I think it makes a lot of sense. Adding mass to the barrel doesn't damp the...
