HW/Weihrauch  Vintage ARH/Beeman Catalogs - QUESTION

Out of an estate find over a decade ago, I got a box full of old vintage catalogs. Is there people that collect these? Where does a person learn a value on them? This is Not a solicitation. If I do decide to sell them, I’ll list them in the classified. Thank you

Unexpected Shooting Range Occupant

I was just shooting down range after some tuning and wanted to stretch her out to 185y tonight. Switched over to night mode, no IR, and this feller showed up. So I giggled and hit my white trash muffler target 10 yards away from it. This was my second shot that I have recorded here. My deer just don't care. Had to share the brilliance of silence.

Hey All,

Airforce  Yet More Texan questions. Why the swing in votes?

Hi All.

First post, don't be too hard on me.

I want to upgrade to a big bore. My requirements are simple I think.

ACCURATE
RELIABLE
Simple to use operate and maintain.

I have a Diana in .177 (most accurate one I own), a Flashpup in .22, a Stormrider in .22 a Seneca in .25 and an Airbow. Hand pump. And a compressor that I am still figuring out!

The number of shots I understand is relative and not a really big deal within reason. As to cost, I am limited (thankfully) to around $1000

I think (as uneducated at this as I am) the AirForce TexanLSS-CF Package seems to fit my bill.

First then, the caliber. 308--357--457.

308-- More shots??
357-- Have Lead and molds. mostly pistol weights (grains)
457-- Have Lead and molds. All types 45LC to 45-120 monsters for BPCR Shillohette (sp)

I understand I would get 3-4 good shots from the last two. Not sure about the 308.

My State has not legalized Air Rifles for Deer yet. So I don'tknow what caliber. Also I would like to shoot it more than just deer season and prep.

Why does there seem to be such a disparity on the Texans? Or is it AirForce. Either it is super accurate or it's crap. Is there that big a difference? I can only afford to do this once!

So, these are my thoughts. Care to jerk me into reality? Please do!!!!

Any and all guidance is truly appreciated.

Coyote and fox squirrels do mix

Decided to hunt the family farm this weekend and happy I did. Started out windy and cool with zero signs of life in the trees. I sat patiently on a hardwood hillside hoping a few fat squirrels would get hungry and come out. I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and started trying to find it among the trees. Spotted a beautiful yellow coyote trotting along the creek 150-175 yards below and across from me. She suddenly turned and crossed the creek traveling diagonally towards the hillside in front of me. I watched as she entered into a shooting lane that gave me a perfectly clear shot right at 75 yards. I barked once and she paused. I squeezed the trigger on my Maverick .30 sniper and watched her crumple in place. I was going for lungs because I was shooting hybrids and didn’t know if they’re capable of penetrating a coyote skull. I hit a little high and think I caught a piece of her spine. I’m happy with the outcome even though it wasn’t exactly a perfect shot. Everything happened so fast I feel lucky to have even had the opportunity and even luckier I was carrying enough rifle to pull it off cleanly. Either way our new beef calves hitting the ground over the past two weeks and the deer and turkey populations will have one less coyote to deal with. After taking photos and dragging her out I decided to change locations and continue trying to get a couple squirrels for the pot. Another stroke of luck hit me when I decided to try an area I hadn’t been in for 10-15 years. I settled in a draw about 20 feet deep on each side and had a small trickle of water running through the rocks. Didn’t take long to realize I was in a good spot. Shot 3 large males and then a female within minutes of settling in. Smoked another large male fox squirrel while I was retrieving the first 4. Never got a chance at the one more I needed to limit out but can’t complain after an amazing day in the woods.

Measuring my progress as a shooter…

Recently, I have felt my accuracy has improved. On a 1/4 inch bullseye, with sorted pellets by weight, I had 25 of 30 inside the bullseye at 25 yards off of a bench with just a bipod and no other stabilizer. The other five were within 1/8 inch of the bullseye.(.22 Maverick Compact -500 mm barrel).
I have no idea if this is good bad or what.
Looking for comments, not approval. I practice weekly at local TWRA. Indoor range, so no wind.

Temp changing POI (Hunting)

So I have read other members discussing the effects of temp changing in the performance and POI of their Airguns and completely understand that aspect . My question is this. I sit in a stand while hunting that is heated. The little heater I use it amazing and will run you out of the stand because it gets so warm. How do I zero my rifle in, in the cold, and still have it be accurate when it is in the warm stand shooting into the cold air? I am shooting a Texan 457 with an AAO upgrade installed.

Pellet selection for tuning

My chronograph should come in today and I hope to do some tuning this weekend. I have watched dozens of videos on YouTube about tuning and watched reviewers make their first shots with rifles they have acquired. They generally have a wide selection of pellets of differing weights and brands. Is there a logical way I could approach collecting a selection of pellets to have on hand? In this case I will be shooting my new Zelos.

Resources  A Good Target Backer is Good

Good clean backer is important to obtain good scores. A projectile shot into a target with no backing causes the card to shred, possibly increase in diameter and not make a clean hole. Here are 22 pellet examples.

From N50 website, Target/Scoring/Other. "To ensure that the best possible holes are produced in the targets, it is important to use clean backers of heavy cardboard or other to firmly support the target in a flat manner. ... The shooter should take care when hanging their targets to move the target slightly around the backer after each successive target to employ a fresh area for the projectile to penetrate."

Same rifle, same day, one N50 card after another. Difference? Changed the backer or moved the card target dots to clean areas.

Ragged backer. Note the clean holes to the right. Probably a clean backer area. You can pick the worst.

Note how clean the holes are. The scoring pins will leave no doubt what your score is.

GX CS4-i water pump/board fail

TLDR; Brand new GX CS4-i bought on Amazon, water pump did not function even after the usual trouble shooting. Water pump motor measured 17.2-17.3 M Ohm. Board produces 0.0 Volts on the pin outs. Contacted Amazon CS and contacted ANKUL.

Long story long: Several years ago I knew I wanted to go down the PCP road. I also knew the actual expense of PCPs would be accessories like pumps, bottles, etc. So for years I had a hand pump while I built an arsenal of accessories, like SCBA bottles, as well as PCP guns I wanted. I pumped a 4.5L bottle to 3000 PSI with a hand pump - weeks of 20 rep sets at a shot to fill from zero PSI to 3000 PSI. When I got done I swore I had sweat earned myself an electrical pump. Years went by and I never pulled the trigger on a Yong Heng, though I had designed exactly how I'd lay it all out and what upgrades I'd do.

Fast forward to this year, the GX CS4-i caught my eye. Decent price, very little upgrading needed, can fill my 9L bottles. Received my pump, bought at Black Friday price, on Sunday. Set it up Monday, carefully cleaning out the water reservoir. Worked out the burping process of the water fill system. No water pump function. I did the poke it with a stick trick, ensured there was no air bubbles, etc.

Nothing worked to get the water pump running, so I unplugged the water pump from the board, measured the windings, 17.2 to 17.3 MegaOhms. Seems more than a little high, but what do I know? I checked the voltage on the output pins at the board - 0.0 Volts. Hmmm.

Called Amazon CS, got the seemingly requisite, difficult to understand representative, and filled out my request to ANKUL. We'll see what they want to do. If they want to send me a new board and pump I could install it, but I'd rather have a new pump since it arrived defective.

Anybody know what the correct winding resistance ought to be, and/or has anybody had a board failure of this type?

FX  FX IMPACT M4 barrel liners 700mm

I have an FX M4 sniper 700mm barrel. It has the standard stock barrel 1:24 twist. I have been reading that I need to change the barrel to a heavy barrel to shoot slugs. There seems to be 2 types on the market 1:18 twist and 1:16 twist.

Obviously 1:16 will have more of a twist. Can someone please tell me the difference this would have compared to the 1:18 twist.

Hoping to upgrade this weekend

FX  Maverick sprung a big leak

My Maverick VP has always had a slow leak, 2-3 bar a week since new, it’s been about a year and I just got a FX 580 cf bottle. Fill the bottle to 250 bar and the 2nd reg went to 150 bar, I fired a few shots and it refilled to 112 bar like normal, I checked on it about 1 hour later and the I heard a noise and all the air is coming out of the trigger slot, never heard of this before.

I have not touched the regs since tuning it about a year ago, just checked the chrono a few weeks ago, FPS and SD/ES were good. It’s getting sent off under warranty and maybe sold after it’s fixed. Not sure whats next maybe something with less o-rings, BRK?
