First deer with the air rifle! 30 yard headshot never flinched a muscle. 80 grain slug put the hurting on him! Just a little buck behind my house that I'm processing myself. Shot with my .30 maverick at over 150 FPE.

In the airgun world can we have too fast of a twist rate for slugs? I have a TJ .25 auto barrel on order which is 1:14 twist rate. For some reason I originally thought it was 1:16. My current barrel is a TJ 1:22 twist and I am shooting slugs too fast out of it and am not fully stabilizing the...

I had a TJ barrel 1:22 twist made for my avenger and it works great for slugs up to 46 grain or so. I tried NSA's 55.5 grain slugs but they keep getting stuck in the barrel. They are very hard to load and it appears they are engaging the rifling way too much fun to their extra length causing...

Does anyone know where to buy a 700cc carbon fiber tank with 5/8 unf threads on it instead of M18? Saw some smaller tanks but really would prefer the larger tank.

So I'm messing with my gun, measuring differing speeds with slugs with my new found power and I decided to sling a few pellets downrange. The Seneca 43.2 grain pellets always created my best energy numbers since the was new out the box... And maybe for good reason. So I shot some and realized I...

Had a goal of getting my avenger to over 80 FPE with slugs and I have surpassed that mark. This was with a 45 grain slugs. I honestly think 100 FPE is possible with a couple small tweaks but that may be a bit too much. I knew it was going to be hot when the first 34.9 grain NSA slug went 1100!

Chasing power with this gun I have found a few weak spots, namely the cocking rod. I have bent a couple stock rods, made my own hardened rod which I snapped, and broke the rod return guide. So, in talking with Rallyshark I decided to somewhat copy his set up. Now the return guide is made from...

For those of you who have made there poppet a larger size what were your final dimensions? I may have someone make one for me and I want to give them a general idea.

Since owning my .30 maverick, I have went down the road to more power and have successfully found it along with some problems. First off I would like to mention I have reached 157 FPE briefly which I believe may be near the absolute limit without a longer barrel (current 700mm) or valve/port...

Took my avenger all the way apart as I have a sudden loss of power so I wanted to inspect all the internals and check the hammer spring and hammer weight. Just in case anyone wants to know the hammer's weight is 27 grams based on my little digital kitchen scale. I have a Hornady scale coming...

I know a lot of people are scared to bump their barrels in fear of a POI shift. However I did some testing today with my .30 Maverick and even after grabbing the gun by the end of the barrel and shaking it violently in between shots it still held it's POI Grouping. Mods done recently include...

After getting a 28" TJ barrel made for my avenger I wanted to build out the barrel to the original 25mm diameter. So I settled on progressively wrapping the barrel in carbon fiber tubes. I used golf club shafting epoxy between each layer I also used two, thick chrome washers on either end so I...

Just decided to do a quick test shooting some varmint knockers slugs into a water jug. The 32.8 grain expanded really nice and held together. They measured over .45" which I thought was great. The 34 grain XL hollow points exploded so I could not take measurements but looks like a big energy...

In testing for big power with my .30 maverick it has come apparent that big long slugs is what it takes to make the most energy. And obviously the problem with that is they don't fit in a factory magazine. Simple solution is a single shot loader which I am using for my 80 grain slugs. However in...

Just shot a near perfect 5 shot slug group. Only a little over 30 yards but I will take it! Big shout out to AVS for these 80 grain slugs! They are tack drivers it seems. Got the gun running about 210 bar and maxing out near 148 FPE. This is with a 700mm superior heavy barrel.

Dropped my TJ barrel off last Friday to a machine shop and just got it back today. I think he did a great job at a good price. Looking forward to trying it out.

I ordered a carbon fiber sleeve for my maverick 700mm barrel. I'm going to epoxy the sleeve to my liner. My question is has anyone also epoxied the barrel housing the carbon sleeve as well for extra rigidity? I do not plan on changing calibers or changing liners. It has a superior heavy slug...

Been doing some mods to my .30 Maverick with 700mm heavy liner in my quest for 150 FPE. I'm starting to get closer and closer. Current mods are Huma dual transfer port, Huma pin probe, Huma 57mm spring, 26 gram tungsten hammer, 300 bar bottle, Huma high pressure regulator up front with the rear...

Anyone here ever had a custom barrel made? I see a couple places that will sell airgun barrel blanks. I would love to have a dedicated slug barrel for my avenger. Even if it's just a blank in the proper OD, the machine work should be pretty simple. Couple set screw points, 2 oring grooves and...

Got a question for some of you. When tuning a certain projectile are you only searching for a certain speed/FPS reading that gives you the best group? Reason I'm asking is on my avenger I am planning on leaving the regulator set at it's max 2900psi and only using the hammer spring to tune with...
