FX  FX Impact M3 Compact Tuning Pellets

Hello all first post random question…

I have an Impact M3 compact and I shoot pellets only in .177 and .30 in 500mm with superior stx barrels.

I have first regulator at 155 factory and my second at 110 which I have heard is basically as high as you want to go with the stock hammer. This is my starting point for .30.

Here is the question. I shoot a lot from in my house out to about 25 yards in .177 in my backyard from my kitchen table and have been keeping my second regulator set at 110. I then close the valve to somewhat above the velocity I want for the pellet I’m shooting and then lower hammer tension to dial in the speed. I understand this is prob very lazy however I can literally pound a nail in a board from 25 yards. I am wondering what the disadvantage is to tuning the gun this way?

HW/Weihrauch  HW30S - Strange Inscription On Barrel

Has anyone seen this on any Weihrauch before? I just bought this .177 HW30S in Canada. It’s S/N suggests 2017 year manufactured. The gun was pirchased as new. It is shooting incredibly well out of the box. I just have no idea what that inscription might mean. 🫤🧐 see pic of the inscription, and 5 shot groups 2nd time out at 25 yards. I mounted a Hawke 2-7x32mm Vantage AO, Sportsmatch 2 piece 1” 11mm dovetail. Thanks for any comments!

Crosman  Crosman 760 1970 won’t pump up

I found the article very informative about replacing the seals on my Crosman 760. I also found out it was made in July 1970. Thank you. After replacing 3 of the 4 seals and reassembling the BB gun, it still will not pump up and hold air. The 4th seal in the replacement kit just did not look compatible. I noticed when I took the brass valve apart the spring was corroded a little and only one plug came out. It looked like another piece was still up inside. Any suggestions?

Benjamin  Akela 177. caliber

Would anybody have a list of all of the o-rings to the 177 caliber Akela ? Seems that Crosman does not list them and I didn't even see a PDF site like they had before for any of their guns. I also did a search on AGN and GTA. Would like to buy them in bulk and not in a kit before or when I have a problem with the gun. I know my last resort is to take it apart and measure them. Someone, anybody ? Thanks in advance Darell

Snowpeak  Some observations on the Snowpeak p35 / stoeger xm1 bullshark

Got my new stoeger xm1 bullshark aka snowpeak p35 the other day. First thing I noticed was this gun is very very inconsistent
IMG_20240310_213720.jpg

Checked the hammer (factory oil was very sticky) cleaned off the factory oil still very inconsistent.
So I decided to take the whole thing apart which is very easy to do just a single bleed screw.
I found the regulator was cover with silicone grease. Cleaned those off the reg and lowered the regulator setting a bit.
This is what I am getting after. Had to lower the hammer spring as well to hit that 900fps magic number with JSB 18.13gr.

FX  FX Impact Barrel Hold Open Not Working

I took my son to shoot my FX Impact MK2 and he double loaded pellets which got stuck in the barrel. I have not been able to remove the lodged pellets and have a liner on order. FUN.

The bigger issue I’m seeing though is my rifle no longer is doing bolt hold open. What is the mechanism that does bolt hold open when their is no magazine and no pellets in the magazine? This seems to be not functioning as well.

  • Question
I’m baffled

So I bought an f4 177 for my daughter and a ruger 22 cal air rifles . I have turkey that come through every opening weekend and get one every year. I killed a Tom last year one shot in the head at about 20-25 yards. This was with my daughters 177 as I find it is way more accurate than the ruger. Of course only with certain type of pellets. I had tried many and the best for that gun is the flat tipped
Anyways I’m getting offf topic. I decided to clean them today and looking down the barrel of the f4. After you beak it open with a light from the other end the bore is no longer round. It looks like a football shape with the points up and down. Best I can see is the baffle is out of place and someone slid into the bore half way blocking the bore. I just sighted it in and it’s dead on. I’m guessing this happened on my last shot . Has anyone had this problem?

Daisy  Old Daisy 880 safety

Have old 1981 daisy 880 that I'm trying to restore. Didn't have a safety. Ordered daisy safety button kit with ball and spring but doesn't seem to work. If I put the spring in the trigger guard, the safety will slide but then the ball will push up into the hole in the safety and then just bend the spring when I try to move it back. I'm thinking this can't be original design. Also doesn't clear the firing piece that it is supposed to engage. Hope that all makes sense. Please let me know if anyone can tell me if design has changed and are old buttons out there. Thanks.

HW/Weihrauch  Do I Have an HW30s? 🧐

I purchased what was shown on the Great North Gun Site as a HW30s. It arrived today but I’m really wondering if it is. It came in a Weihrauch box with a SKU and description as a HW30s (see pics attached) but the gun has no checkering On the grip or forestock. The GNG site has good reviews. Are there any HW30 or HW30s users out there that can help clear up this mystery?

Diana  Diana Bandit PCP question

Is this gun‘s rear sight supposed to have a spring around the elevation adjustment screw? I recently purchased this and adjusting elevation yields no movement of the sight whatsoever. I’ve emailed Pyramyd about it but I thought I’d check in here as well. Thanks.

(Putting a red dot sight works somewhat, making loading a single pellet a little tricky, and you don’t necessarily need to remove the attached rear sight, but…just for laughs I also tried taking off the rear sight and put on a small, short 4x30 rifle scope and it worked splendidly as long as I didn’t mind the unnaturally long eye relief with a pistol!)

  • Question
Compressor raising pressure but not filling the gun (auto shut-off in a few seconds)

Hi from Greece.

I bought my first PCP compressor from Amazon in order to fill my two Kalibrguns (Cricket and Argus 60 ).
61sEHp+WTuL._AC_SX679_.jpg
Amazon

Until now I used a Hill MK5 hand pump using the kalibrgun fill probe strait to the pump hose (1/8 BSP).

In order to use the quick connect of the compressor I bought a 1/8 bsp quick connect adaptor

QC03-1000x1000w.jpg

I connected the Kalibrgun fill probe to the above connector using Teflon seal on the threads to avoid leakage.
When I turned on the compressor (the bleeding valve was closed) the pressure raised and when it reached 300 Bar in a few seconds the compressor shut of for security reasons. The guns pressure was about 180bar.

So it is obvious that the gun valve didn't opened at all. This happened and with the Argus also

For testing purpose I turned on the compressor without connecting the filling probe to the gun and from the probe the air was bleeding synchronous to the pump piston movement with a constant and high flow rhythm.

So to check if the filling probe was for any reason problematic, I disassembled the filling probe from the adapter and I connected it again to the Hill MK5 and did a test fill.
Everything was normal and the gun started to be filled as normal.

-> So, can anybody reply to this question why that strange situation happens?

Thank you at advance
