I love this little Notos. I am making some aftermarket hand guards and accessories for the Umarex Notos. Its a great little compact gun but for me its missing Mlok and picattiny rails to attach a flashlight and other accessories.

If you have any ideas on what you make next please leave a comment. Lets see what mods you have done to your NOTOS.

Just got my .22 cal Brocock Compatto Sniper XR from AoA Wednesday. I didn't know anything about Brocock except it is a sister company to Daystate and as of late they may be sharing some technology. So, I took a chance on the Compatto and so far I'm happy with it. I wanted a rifle that was short, lightweight, accurate, synthetic stock and had adjustable power (hammer spring). It checks all the boxes. I have it set up currently shooting JSB 18.13s at 805fps on mid power for about 25fpe. Once sighted in, I shot this 11 shot group at 40 yards:

It seems to just as accurate as the Daystate Huntsman Revere which is a nice surprise! My question is, does anyone on this site have any data such as speed and accuracy for different pellets at different power levels with this rifle? I tried the JSB 15.89 and 13.43s at different power levels and they were not as accurate as the 18.13s.

How do I do that here?

RWS RA-800 .177 this is my second RA-800 (the other is .22) A Theoben at heart but imported and marked RWS, possibly as few as 40 were produced.




a very rare pair .177 & .22

Pictures are worth a thousand words:

The most important measurement of accuracy for any of my fire arms is MOS...minute of squirrel. Anything better than that is for bragging rights at the range. This time of year MOS is a much tighter group as there are weee little juveniles running about.

This target @ 85 yds. A dime will cover 1 mag. Jsb 15.9 heavy @ 900 fps. Bear also @ 85 yds.

Has anyone seen this?

Are nitro guns a big seller? I did the math. It would cost about $650 to shoot 2500 pellets just in nitro canisters.
I don’t get it

Bonjour, présentation de mon impact .22. Je le dédie à Nounours le mangeur de Boubourses. Désolé, j'ai compris que la traduction s'était faite automatiquement.

Hello folks. I'm just introducing myself as a new member. A lifelong Hunter and shooter of firearms, I eventually extended my collection to break pellet rifles and PCPs. Years ago I started out with a RWS .17. I now own, an FX, Edge, Kral and Hatson, mostly in .25.

Hi everyone, I am new here, it is my first post. I just want to know is your thermal scopes coming with a mount? Thanks.

I got the sun shades for my Athlon scopes, Not sure if its just my old eyes are not but I cant tell any difference with or with out the sun shade,,, Is it just to reduce the glare of the sun
if so it dont work on my scopes, I am talking about the 3 to 4 inch screw on the front of the scope,, Feel free to tell me what yours does for you,,
OK you can put this in the dumb question optics.. LOL.

My old Air Arms still delivers its packages with terrific accuracy. This model was bought in 2001 and doesn’t have a safety or a regulator, but 30 shots without adding air and still hitting what you aim at speaks for itself. I use JSB 16gr exclusively as it loves them like its first born.

Whos got/making the lightest .177 pellets?

Anyone know what other vendors accept Bitcoin? The smart ones I know of are

Alamo

I'm sure there has to be a few others I haven't dealt with before or know about.

I was thinking of testing Knockout 0.216 dia slugs in unchecked cut barrel of my BM500X .22 after installing the barrel on my HM1000X for many days.

This is because my HM1000X is highly modified for power, tuning capabilities and consistency.

The twist rate of cut barrel is somewhere around 1:27" to 1:30".

Here are the pics of my HM1000X with cut barrel.



Initially I zeroed the gun in my house using JSB Knockout 25 grain slugs at around 950fps.

My gun is capable of shooting the same slugs at around 1000 fps at 150 regulator pressure.

Following is 10 shots group of Knockout slugs at 24 yards where I sighted in the gun.


Then I moved to the boundary wall of my society. It is around 85 yards. Pic below.



I shot a 12 shot group from inside the car with same slugs at 950fps. Gun was not very stable and wind was around 14km.

Following is 12 shot group at 85 yards on pre cast wall from inside the car.



There is one flyer. I don't know whether it's my fault, slug fault or the gun needs tuning.

Anyhow I am positively surprised that during this casual shooting, the unchoked cut barrel performed well with slugs even with slow twist rate.

I went off PayPal a few years ago and thereafter, have been making Classifieds purchases here via Zelle, Personal Checks, or Postal Money Orders. I just lost a great deal on a gun off the classifieds because the seller would only accept PayPal, which is their prerogative of course and I have no problem with that. This brings me to express appreciation to those who kindly and graciously accept other forms of payment. I know it's not as convenient as PayPal, so hats off and a big thank you - you know who you are!

This is a question for you machinists and fabricators out there. Can this be re soldered or could I replace this copper line by soldering a new one into the existing fittings. The close up shows where I cracked the line taking the gun apart. It’s going to be a pain to try to get a new assembly from fx in Sweden and hope it survives shipping unscathed and fits a 10 year old gun properly. I was told by a dealer that it’s probably time for a new gun, because even if I get it all back together it won’t be the same as it was.

the rifle that Mickel has in the spider move?is the air tube made around the barrel?Snow Peck made something like that a while back.

Across this forum and experiencing this hobby for more than two decades, it has been a privilege to interact with so many of you in so many terrific ways. We have learned from each other and shared countless hours of shooting together, generating and sharing information, and spreading the gospel regarding this terrific sport.

Those of you that have visited me know that my outdoor range has been one of envy to most, in a subdivision, but supported by terrific neighbors, where even though I work a busy schedule and demanding job, I was able to walk out the door and shoot in most any conditions, covered, and easily accessible.

Over the last few days, as three more new homes have broken ground, children and pets are becoming more prevalent, and new neighbors that I have not met are moving into homes proximate to my range that I don't know, I figure it is only now a matter of time before the police show up at my door due to the noise of pellets banging targets, or an errant shot from a high power pcp causes an issue I will forever regret. I assess risks of various types for a large construction company each and every day. And when I am truly objective, I know I have been pushing the envelope for too long as it is. It is now time to pull up the back yard range targets and backstops, and I intend to complete that task this weekend.

And while I belong to a beautiful private rifle range only 20 minutes away, the 30 minutes it takes on each end to pack and unpack, the planning that goes into making time available from a demanding job and the priorities of a beautiful family, and working in between scheduled range events, the spontaneous fun I have been so privileged to enjoy with this hobby is now no longer in play.

One of my problems in life is that I am an "all in or all out" kind of guy. To this end, I wish to thank each of you very much for your friendships and sharing of your expertise, but it is time to move on to other things life has to offer.

Those of you that have followed-up my posts and reviews over the years, know that I have a vault that contains nothing but very meticulously tuned and super accurate air rifles. That is all that I have left. The mediocre and very good rifles were weeded out over time to where all that are left are spectacular and dependable performers. Over the next days, weeks, and months, I intend to begin offering them up to enthusiasts that will appreciate them and continue to put them to great use. These rifles beg and deserve to be shot.

It will take me considerable time to go through and sort out all of the seal kits and parts that I have accumulated to service my rifles and those of others, but little by little I will offer the parts and accessories I have accumulated over time, including more than 200,000 pellets and slugs.

Will I keep anything? Yes, I do intend to keep three or four of the rifles that mean so much to me, including my first .22 Air Arms S410, a Weihrauch HW97.20 that will shoot 10 shot groups averaging less than an inch at 50 yards, a super accurate Charlie Frear tune .22 Cricket long, and maybe one other rifle, but all less than 40 FPE and all "backyard friendly." That leaves about 18 or 19 other rifles including a Panthera, Skout, King, multiple Wolverines, a fantastic Red Wolf, BRK rifles, multiple RAWs, and well you get the idea. I will keep a Joe Brancato Great White 97 cu ft tank and my Alkin W31 air compressor.

I can't thank you all enough for your terrific friendships. A particular thanks to Ken Hicks at SPAW, Bin at the Pellet Shop, the Skout team, all of the AOA Team, Pyramid Air, Charlie Frear, the UTAH Air Guns team, Tom at Vortek, and of course Martin and Sandra Rutherford of now Airguns USA. There are too many to thank and I don't mean to leave any one out.

One final tribute - to Scott Schneider, wonderful gentleman whom I never met personally, but performed fair and terrific services for me on several occasions, and helped me learn a lot along the way.

Thanks to each and everyone of you on this forum who have been so terrific to associate with.

I guess I need to find a permanent solution to the pellet problems I'm having with JSB.
Now, even the FX branded JSB's I ordered in .22 25.4 Are having issues.
Not so much with the skirt or head size.
But the cavity of the skirt measures 2.33 mm (new fx) and 3mm for the supposed same FX pellet I ordered a few months ago.
There is no indication when ordering or on the tin which version you are getting. I had issues with one of my .22's shooting the jts in this weight with a shallow depth, but the deep skirt FX's were spot on. I don't know what is happening over there but I think it's time to move on. After finding ton's of screwed up looking JSB's a few years back I went with the FX rebrand and was happy about the change.
I'll test them but I was hoping the FX rebrands would keep to the older styles as all the other jsb's now aren't actually the original redesigned pellets.
