    Clockwise/ tightening to reduce pressure on reg.

    RTI Just me? RTI Prophet II & cycling

    For what it’s worth I’ve never had the issue or any issues with feeding on my P2 performance.. if I remember correctly there is some sort of adjustment rod for the cocking lever and I’d bet yours needs a bit of adjustment.

    I understand how you see it that way but it is not.. because the barrel and the thimble “ if you will” are two separate pieces.. The set screw goes in the dimple as you say and retains the “ thimble with the transfer port “ in it precise location then the barrel which is a completely separate...

    I disagree with your analysis about the barrel simply because that is not what I’ve experienced with my gun. I attempted to explain to you in an earlier thread that if the barrel isn’t snugged up with a wrench before the shroud goes on and isn’t installed using the correct process it will not...

    To your point on the barrel retention system, I believe I know what caused your concern because the first time I had mine apart and was re-threading the barrel in by hand I got it snugged up as far as I could by hand and noticed there was a huge amount of slop up and down with the barrel. That...

    I will have to definitely give the jsb 18s a solid try in this rifle since according to the manufacturer that’s what it’s supposed to shoot.. just don’t have any on hand at the moment. Yesterday I pulled the reg out and made a quarter turn counter clockwise from factory setting.. I have no idea...

    I had a little free time to test my rifle a bit the other day.. however, I’ll preface by saying that I performed the tests using only one pellet (JSB 15.9 grains) at one fps setup ( 825 FPS/ 25ish FPE ) This is a good baseline I feel since it’s a generally good performing pellet. All groups...

    Ok here ya go… Things I like - all aluminum, well thought out design and construction. The only plastic is the stock “ which is cheap and somewhat flimsy but serves its intended purpose “ The trigger group housing and the transfer port itself are plastic also, none of which I see an issue with...

    Yes, I ordered the genesis version “short model”. It was $280 plus shipping. I had it apart the other day to give everything a once over & I’d have to say that this is the cleanest air rifle I’ve ever disassembled out of the box.. especially in the category of cheap Chinese guns. What I mean...

    I have one in 22 cal also and I’ve been nothing short of impressed so far.. it does say made in PRC “people’s republic of china” I’m assuming. The build quality and machining of this rifle is miles ahead of the AV avenger. It is built like a tank ! A finely machined tank at that! The quality of...

    AGT Nevtor Big Bore .457

    A 41” long 10.5 lb bullpup 😳 I’m sure it’ll be a shooter but good grief the bench is only way I’d ever use one…

    Which PCP's can shoot Slugs Well?

    My Prophet II with the RPB .22 cal barrel shoots well with H&N 217 23grain slugs.. Haven’t pushed to 100yds yet but shooting about 3/4” at 78 yds. Haven’t seen anyone mention RTI for slugs yet.
