:) I don't want to be an @rse but where you guys finding 300 bars refilling from a bottle? Especially from those small ones. I tried several times to top up my 14L bottles (I believe these are the largest scba we have seen so far) to 300 bars with multiple last push, after an hour cool down max...

I have tried couple oils in the past. This Mobil one is a twin turbo rated = high RPM high Temp. I am using it second year. The oil - any oil, shall lube the 1st stage piston cast iron rings, but shall never reach to second stage high pressure piston composite rings. If does, there will be...

I was lubing my pellets with lemon pledge for years. And I got cheap. From my gravel bike I have couple leftover Muc-Off rattle can chain/cable lubes with ptfe. Thin and running, works well for me :)

:) I am a large volume shooter and topping up 3 of these 14L bottles at a time of a work party. The vibration meter battery died at about 68 hrs and occasionally coming up with some numbers ups and down, and can't care replacing it. What is a total time on the compressor I don't know anymore...

I think my YH is on third piston kit now, or maybe forth ?? Every time I put a new piston in - slightly lubed with oil - I run the compressor empty for about ten minutes, to season the rings without a heavy load. On the Amp meter I could see the very first minutes draw higher maybe mid 20 ish...

I have a IO 14x50 and the 5x30-pro. I am not considering these as a paper target punching scopes. For target shooting 50 meter rings I am using x32 power and up, for 100 M x50 power. Same x50 on my W308 up to 500 M.

Along my years I slowly reorganized my scope accessories, also my tools to work on scopes. - from two piece scope rings - to a single piece mount .... these costs a bit more but I have find them more comfortable working with. - from a horizontal split rings - to and angled cut and vertical split...

My average rings punching volume per season (April to November) is about 10K, but I could comfortably do about 20K. .22 and .25 pellets only.

In early days I wanted to save some money and made a pre-filter with colour changing granules. The problem with media filtering the input side is ... you cannot drain it, you need to replace that soaked media more often. And ones I toke my gun apart, toke me enormous time and effort to clean...

I have my FX radar ver.1 heavy modded, for several years, but I needed one for a new to me W308 I wanted to start reloading diy. I got my orange Labradar from second hand, last summer, from a guy who was complaining about he could never got reliable readings. Also he already bought the latest...

Around my place (Greater Toronto Area) I have no airgun competition places in a big radius, but I have gun ranges and gun clubs at every second corner. Last summer I got into f-class with my W308, and after some tinkering I got myself a ski-bipod from Rempel. Not so shortly after I figure...

For years I was using lemon pledge in rattle cans. The latest batch of pellets I washed I started using all weather chain lube with ptfe (muc-off MO94 in a can). It is thin and running well and after months in a tin the pellets still slick.

I had it buried deep in these threads probably about 2021 time. I have purchased two IO scopes from Ireland (I believe). Recovered the link from my old emails. Also upgraded one scope (5x30-pro) directly with IO in 2023. http://www.rusmilitary.com/html/sight_immersive.htm

Years ago when I started taking it to a more serious level I have tested most of the pellets in .22 and .25 what was available on the market. I made a pretty long spreadsheet with all my notes. Disposed all junks pellets and buying only those 3-4 in both calibers what was giving me acceptable...

I have a YH for several years now about 68 hr or more so far, 3x rebuilt. The heat kills the piston rings first. Along the way I learned to buy critical spare parts at my own convenient time. Right now I have four full piston assemblies in my drawers. I can replace in a hour and back to the game.
