What have you done with your airgun today?

@greenarrow what speed were your shooting at? I brought my 177 pp700 carbine but didn’t bother with it because of the wind. That’s a great group at 75 yards!!! I’m now curious on how far I can stretch my pp700 with crosman .177 pellets! Hahaha

Went for a walk in the woods, saw almost a dozen quails....flew by, fast little birds. Beautiful day to be out and thank you to all the veterans!

I'm not sure. I tweaked it and never checked the speed afterwards since it was shooting so well.

Thanks, I tried to shoot a rock at 75 yards today with crosman 7.4 grain pointed pellet and I can hit it but the wind would push it 7-8 inches at times so grouping is impossible. Can't wait for NSA 177 slugs to get here.

Well it was really calm out when I shot those groups. Maybe 2 mph at most so that may help you rest a little easier. Maybe those Crosman pellets aren't the best for your pistol at that distance.

The pointed crosman pellets are surprisingly good to probably 50 yards max with no wind, for how light and cheap they are it's pretty good. Having slugs in 177 should be a game changer, i'm tempted to convert my dreamline to 177 so I can sling the 15 grain slugs at 850FPS, that would be insane!

Got bored and converted the dream tac compact to dream tac bottle with a custom TJ barrel I got from a member and added carbon sleeve. The sleeve really made the barrel stiff! Can’t wait to try to sling some slugs from it.

Went and did some 100+ yard shooting, forgot my air tank so last group fell off the regulator but incidentally produced the best group!!!

114 meters or around 130 yards, part of the vertical spread is most likely thanks to the pressure drop. That’s definitely sub MOA!!!

After painting a Gamo Viper Express this summer i recently made a 3D printed holder for 6 shot shells

Today I got the Slayer out and threw some lead down range until the resident deer heard decided to eat their way into my long range target.

wow either you are really good with painting or got really good paint shop, that looks awesome.

Mummra · Nov 23, 2020

Did you take it apart and have the parts painted,or hydro dipped? I modded my Vectis,and painting it is the last step. I looked into hydro dipping synthetic plastic seems to be the easiest way.

Once again I find myself in the basement with a glass of wine and my newly acquired FX Wildcat MkIII.

with about 1000 rounds through it I am throughly impressed with this rifle. It does exactly what you want every time I use it.

I got interested now to see all your collections, maybe if you can post some more, maybe you have some hidden stormtrooper inspired design or Star Trek inspired rifle, For me that Blitz is really not that attractive in black, but with your skills, it is now very nice and looks more futuristic.

Picard · Nov 23, 2020

Thanks guys! @Mummra i took it all apart every screw, nut or bolt. Except the barrel, tank and main 'block' with the hammer inside etc. I will post some more pictures of the WIP it took some work to make it look like this

@Fuciliere i do own a couple of movie props and I'm a fan of sci-fi movies/series so you are not far off

To get an idea of the locations that needed to be removed, filled in or altered, some locations where changed during the build, for example i wanted to keep use of the cheek piece and the foregrip needed some cutting and trimming etc.
