New 25 cal. Fun fun.

[1911matt]

So I had been admiring the bullpups. I also had been admiring the energy the 25 cal guns were capable of. Well I bought one. I went with the Flashpup. Made a little adjustment to power following advice from my favorite air gun shop, and wow. My backstop was great for 22 cal guns. The 25 blows right through with a good bit of energy left. This is going to be fun.

I want a bigger scope, but I was able to grab a cheap 4-16x44 locally.

Oh NICE you got WOOD! How does she shoot? You shooting 25gr JSB Kings? YO!

 

[1911matt]

I'm not ready to answer that yet. The only 25 pellet I have on hand are RWS superdomes. The hit like a freight train, but the accuracy isn't there. It's 1 inch groups or less at 50 but there are an unacceptable amount of flyers. I blame the superdomes. RWS Pellets suck. Plus at 31 grains they may be heavy. I have a full diet of JSB coming Monday.

What place is shipping so quickly? That's amazing.

WOW that's a good price! For a GOOD WOODY! I haven't had ANY luck with .25 RWS pellets EXCEPT for the 19.9gr DIANA Magnums which are just like H&N FTTs in .25. H&N Barracudas 31gr are the other good accurate pellet if it fits in your magazine. Benjamin domed 27gr is another. YO!

I have the 25 grain JSB on the way. 



This gun came from Amazon. 

My dealer Airguns of Texas is just as fast.

Airguns of Texas...Is that AustinB or (Abrakeen)? YO!

 

[JimNM]

Sweet gun. My .25 Mrod likes the AA domes, the Hades and the Benji domes as much as or better than the JSB domes.



Shoot'em good

Nice .25 pup, Matt Thanks for posting a pic!

Did you adjust the power up or down?

Are you gonna be pesting/hunting?

.25 really puts a smack on critters.

How are you liking the bullpup platform so far?

I tuned it down just a bit. I'm pushing these 31 grain superdomes an average of 800 fps. My foggy brain this early calculates 44 fpe. That's plenty this was my reason for wanting a 25. I'll adjust again when I get my regular ammo.

I'm noticing these guns are like real guns in one sense. They all need what we gunsmiths call a "Fluff and Buff". I went through every part on this gun with a set of hones . If it moves, it got a mirror finish. That seems to really help. I don't have a cr 123 battery for my trigger scale but I bet I got it to 1.2-1.4 pounds. 

I removed the barrel and used a bronze brush in .257 caliber to scrub any burs from the barrel. The stock had a 1 place that caused pressure on the action so I relieved that with some 220 grit paper.

All of my guns get this treatment. It it night and day difference.

Drill out the ports as well as the valve seat and you'll be close to 50fpe with the 25.4. Of course you'll only get about 15 shots (w/i3%) but should get 2 mags w/i 5%. Mine liked the AA 25.4 the best. The Baracuda was 2nd and the only other one under 1/2" at 25yds was the 31 grizzly.
