  • Question
FX  PCP Airgun Tuning - Why would the FPS go down when increasing the Hammer Spring at a constant reg pressure.

Hi All I have a very early FX Crown (in the first 500 made) It has the 8mm reg piston - I only mention that to date it.

Now I have been out of shooting it for a while and it used to be an good gun and Shot JSB King Heavy MKII’s best at about 800fps and 120bar reg, this was how it came from the factory with a 600mm barrel.

I wanted to experiment with slugs. I watched all the usual Youtube suspects re tuning and got to work practicing on pellets first. In the end I got to about 155 bar reg pressure and had effectively maxed out the HST, on the MAX setting. it was shooting the MKII’s at about 930 fps but it sounded terrible, it wasn’t consistent, or accurate with the extra distance I could now achieve and I realised somewhere down the road I’d turned into a blind alley and this was just not right…

So Ive left the HST on almost Max when it was on MAX on the dial. I then reduced the Reg pressure to 100 bar, to start again. I had a tin of the lighter JSB Kings and started using them to experiment with. With my reg at 100 bar Im getting about 910-920fps with the HST at the “MIN” setting on the wheel.

Now here is what I really cant get my head around, and is making me question what I think I know…

When I keep the reg the same and increase the HST the FPS falls, and it does so linearly in line with the increase in HST so at the “MAX” position on the wheel I get 720ish FPS. Also the sound of the gun changes and becomes quieter and more “dull” less of a pop or crack and more of a hollow “thud”. what is more this is very consistent, if I turn the HST back down I get 920, back up I get 720. its not just all over the place

I thought that HST would increase FPS if every thing remains the same, or at very least it would not increase FPS, but to significantly reduce the FPS??? this makes no sense and I cant fathom how the mechanics of this would play out. I get that increased reg Pressure provides more resistance to HST so you get a shorter open duration on the valve and results in a decrease in FPS, but Im not touching the reg…so what gives

Can someone help me understand why this is? I thought I understood this, well until today!

Regards
SOTL

RAW Rapid  HM1000x .177 100 yd BR match

Shot another 100 yard EBR style match yesterday in the whirlywinds of Sparta Wisconsin with 10 of my other shooting friends. I used my RAW HM1000x rifle in .177 caliber prepared by the man, Martin Rutterford of Airguns-USA. At last months match, the winds were fairly calm and variable, but I really wanted to see if this gun could compete with all the other Impacts, Crowns, Red Pandas, and BRKs mostly in 30 caliber. The weather was more typical: 78 degrees, 5-18 MPH gusty winds which seemed to change direction every 25 yards. I shot 3 relays and qualified for the finals. My scores were 175, 179, and 193, but the other folks were just the same. There were no 220 -230 scores like last month. The point of all this is that caliber doesn't seem to be so important because all of these rifles were capable of being competitive regardless of caliber. I had to leave a little early due to family obligations, but I think the winner used a Crown M2 in 22 caliber with a score of 190 in the final round using pellets, no less. I won't say who it was, but he always drags this gun out at the last minute and wins with it.

PCP Rifle  SOLD Taipan Veteran 2 Standard 22 - mint

Latest Taipan .22 Veteran 2 in mint condition. Appearance and function as close to new as possible.

I added the underside Picatinny rail and it has the Arca adapter connected to it.

At the breech, there is a rubber pad I added so my face did not touch the metal. This can be easily removed.

This includes the Taipan (latest model) with the moderator (see photos), filling probe, 2 magazines and some O rings that came with it. The scope is not included. I do not have the original box, but can assure you it will be very well packed.

I purchased it (as seen in the photo) from Tony at Talon Tunes — 5 months ago in March 2024, and used it occasionally. Decided to sell as I moved to a Daystate air rifle.

It is highly accurate and you will not find one in better condition.

This air rifle is listed at $1425 by the dealer without the picatinny rail and arca adapter.

My loss is your gain. $1000 with shipping CONUS.

Traditional Rifle  WTS Air Arms TX200HC Laminate

Excellent condition, 0.177 caliber, 12fpe TX200HC with the factory adjustable laminate stock. I purchased brand new and shot it a literal handful of times before putting it in the safe. Just not getting used and it deserves to.

Very, very light handling marks if you squint your eyes in just the right light - pretty typical of the high gloss bluing used by AA. Looks essentially new.

Asking $1150 shipped in the CONUS. Prefer paypal friends and family or add 4% to cover fees.

You can reach me here or email tobinwebster at yahoo dot com.

Thanks!

Huben  Huben GK1 is (NOT) a good pistol


Probably the stupidest review on that thing out there... I would like to puntualize, the GK1 is definitivelly not a good pistol by any means, but it is a good AIR pistol.

Also, my Red Ribbon army mod is finished, the difference between my perfected one is that I changed the silencer system to a direct to barrel treading + discard completelly the barrel to slide compressing system. Now it has a floating barrel and I already see improvement on accuracy.

FX  FX DRS question

So I'm interested in the FX DRS in .22, maybe .25, with a 600mm barrel. I reached out to a seller and asked if the heavy barrel was available in 600mm for this gun. The answer was yes, but it wouldn't shoot pellets well. This left me a bit confused. The 700mm version, which has the heavy barrel, seems to shoot both quite well, with minimal POI shift. And the slugs and pellets are about the same weight.
So I reached out for more info because something didn't add up for me and was told that the 700mm barrel allows you to turn the reg down, because you need more pressure to shoot the same in a 600mm barrel.
So now I'm super confused. What am I missing in this equation? I can't see 100mm making that much of a difference, all things being equal. Can someone explain what I'm missing?

Results  N50 Results 8/10/24 Open Grove - Score-Line info

1st, we have been working really hard to get the new N50 Scoring System up and running - it is not part of the N50 website for now. Software has been constantly improving on many levels. We are so close to releasing. I was able to create todays Open Grove matches remote (I'm working software validation from home) and its working really well. Competitors scores are summed, tabulated, racked & stacked instantaneously within wifi range.

2nd, this effort has caused a lag in the agg-line updates. I couldn't do both scoring tabulations at the same time, so the old agg-line had to take a back seat.

When the Scoring System is super stable we will merge it into the N50 website.

I'll let Joe filled in todays range details

Compressors  SOLD 4500 psi PCP compressor (tuxing)

Got a nice 4500 psi compressor that I'm selling. Has been used to top up my guns that I hardly shoot. It pumps great and pretty quick. The only flaw is the digital temperature gauge went out. It's a $8 part on Amazon or u can use it without it, by running it for 5-6 mins and letting it cool for 5-6 mins. Comes with a moisture filter and the filters for it. And the Car battery connection cable. Works great. $80 obo Paypal F&F shipping on me.

RAW Rapid  Continue To Be Impressed

My Rapid Air Worx Theoben .25 caliber rifle continues to impress me. Just for grins I filled it to 225 BAR and shot it down to 103 BAR and maintained most 5 shot groups at 1 MOA or better, ES of 5 fps and STD of 1.3 after a 48 shot count! All were FX 34 grain .25 caliber. So I know the gun can do it - now the rest is up to me! Still working on reading wind, cross wind, variable wind, quartering wind, etc, etc, etc. Still so much to learn and experience. Thanks so much for the members on this forum that continue to help, educate and above all, be patient with old guys like me. :ROFLMAO: (well, not THAT old!) By the way, this was only a 30 yard test.
