Hello All! I have gone into the web search rabbit hole of a beginner noob getting into PCP'ing and in that journey I have learned the following....

• Buy a reputable gun or else you'll get made fun of on the internet when you ask for help
• More money, less problems, less money, more problems?
• Gamo breakbarrels are not a good entry into air rifling (refer to first bullet point)
• If you want to make your fills easy, plan on spending another $400-$600 on a tank. Otherwise, get ready to pump...
• PCP'ing can be like a science to someone who has no idea what a baffle, trigger group, hammer, or shroud is..
• Expect to go down another rabbit hole when it comes to scopes...

Anyways, in my searching, I have been introduced to the JTS Airacuda due to the YouTube and Google algorithm's. Don't blame me for buying one because from what I watched and read from reputable reviewers and articles online, it's a great gun for the price. I ordered it, then saw the Airacuda had some issues and the Avenger is the better bet for $30 more. But finding evidence of those issues and also a concise list of those issues is nearly impossible. So I thought, why not sign up on a reputable forum and make a list for guys like me searching to get into the game and finding the JTS Airacuda. (With potential ridicule from other forum members)

So I'll start the list and maybe Google can help new PCPers looking at the Airacuda Standard...

1. The customer services sucks - This is only what I have read and heard. Seems that Reddit is a little more frank on how bad their service is (Anyone want to share their experience with JTS?)
2. There was an initial pinging sound that all of the YouTubers encountered that was quieted for mass production rifles
3. Baffle issues? What is a baffle anyways?
4. Leaking foster adapter due to what?
5. Issue with clipping on some moderators (For the noobs, that is a silencer) and the pellet smashes into the moderator upon exit of the barrel(I know what a barrel is)

My Airacuda is showing up next week. I bought it for plinking and hunting on my 11 acre property that has quail, doves, and rabbits. Someone gifted me a .25 Gen 1 Marauder but that caliber seems a little big the little birdies so I got this guy to accompany my Benjamin. THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Considering a Ghost or Impact m4 in .22 as a do it all benchrest / EFT gun. has anyone shot both? trigger quality is important. thanks!

Howdy folks,

Let me preface this with a bit of a back story. Part of my air gun range is an expanded IHMSA air pistol range shooting 1/10th scale targets. I say expanded because instead of the regulation 10yd Chicken, 12yd Pig, 15yd Turkey & 18yd Ram they are sitting at 10yds, 15yds, 20yds & 25yds respectively. IHMSA air pistol never took off in my area, so the range became the family favorite plinking range. Many years of good times have been spent knocking them over with all manner of air guns. I say with all humility that the ”old man” is the undisputed champion of that range. Don’t get me wrong, my kids are dang good shots but I always manage to edge them out in our friendly competitions.

Fast forward 20 years..

Recently my son got into 10m pistol & from all accounts he’s good at it! After speaking to him on the phone last night, he was telling me he wouldn’t be home for Thanksgiving but would for Christmas, he had the audacity to challenge me with the IHMSA range. The cocky little sh*t thinks he can take me ON MY RANGE with his 10m pistol! But it gets better, owing to my old age & infirmity (his words) he will allow me the use of a long gun with some proviso’s. It needs to have open sights & shoot sub 700 fps.

He doesn’t realize old age & treachery will overcome youth & skill so to my way of thinking that means diopter sights. The problem is I don’t own any rifles that meet that criterion. I do have a tuned Daisy 880 that is a tack driver but it has standard irons. I am tempted to use it & even think I might could take him with it (I have “cleaned” the course using it a time or 2) but where is the fun in that??

I NEED A NEW GUN!!

I would prefer not to spend $5k on a 10m rifle to win a gentleman’s bet but I am willing to spend a good bit so I might as well use this “challenge” as an excuse to get something I will actually enjoy having.

I am not really up on the myriad of springers out there (This “old man” is wanting “old school” to learn this whipper snapper) so if anyone can provide some suggestions I would be greatly appreciative!

So in a nutshell I am looking for a springer that is sub 700fps, exceptionally accurate & has provisions for a diopter rear & hooded front sight (duel dovetail). Oh & I need it in the next 2 -3 weeks. Easy right...



Sorry for the long post but I figured there aren’t any (many) kids here & some of you might enjoy the wind up.

Everyone loves beautiful wood furniture, so leaving that out of the decision process I'm a solid 4. That said, something that I'll agree is conventionally ugly (cough, cough any AF gun) can also be something that I find myself warming up to as I begin to appreciate it's functionality. So it's like a trusty power tool type relationship beauty in the eye of the beholder type thing.

With the vast selection to be had out there in consumerland it also leads down a real rabbit hole when it comes to actually finally selecting something. Being out of the activity since the early 90's & limited to springers, I restarted out w the attitude that it had to look like a traditional gun. Now I'm coming around to kind of appreciating the ability to tweak the more 'tactical' looking airgun furniture and hardware. Shooting game where it may really matter isn't something that I'm currently engaged in and also tacticool isn't really my thing either, but those features really are convenient just for general range shooting IMHO. Should I feel guilty about this?

FX MKII Impact .30
700mm STX slug A liner , huma v1 dual port installed will include a unused v2 port . One FX side shot mag . One small mark on shroud otherwise in excellent condition. Only selling because I bought an M3 . $950 shipped CONUS .

Sold.

Up for sale is my beloved Edgun Leyla .25 Cal. She’s been extremely awesome to own and I really hate to see her go. But I don’t have as much free time or a place to shoot anymore since I moved to Texas.
Has a HUMA regulator installed since day one. Currently shooting Polymags at around 855 FPS and she loves those pellets. I honestly think that’s the sweet spot for her with those pellets. I forgot to change the pellet weight on my chronograph so the ft/pounds energy shown in the picture is not correct. The FPS readings is accurate. She enjoyed many kills at 130 yards with that setup. Extremely accurate for such a compact setup. Comes with the BAT MODERATOR which I installed on day one and also with the factory moderator which will be installed prior to shipping so it can fit inside the factory box.
So it will be shipped double boxed in the factory box with BAT MODERATOR not installed, 3 factory magazines and the factory regulator included. It has a yellow laminate stock.The stock is NOT in perfect/mint condition it has a few wear marks from normal handling, they are very minor scuffs and the phone picture makes them look a lot bigger than what they are, but I have to mention them and let you know. I picked up this beauty in person at Brian’s house a couple of years ago. Had to replace the valve stem once but Brian was super kind and sent me a replacement right away. Scope not included in the sale. The gun is rated for 300 bar fill but I always fill at 250 just to be safe and I get about 45 shots per fill which is 5 magazines.
Any questions or requests for more pics, please text or call. I’m not on the forum checking PMs all day, it I do have my phone next to me so if you text or call I will respond right away.

Hello everyone,

I love to shoot PCP Pistols all year long and during the winter months shoot from a Bench indoors. In the past I have used a BiPod along with a Lab Jack and various Bags for the rear support. If you have ever shot from one of these arrangements you know how difficult it is to maintain a precision hold for both Elevation and Windage.

I created a new design, that I am calling “TPR” and competed the build for an answer to this problem. With this design I have incorporated precision control for both Elevation and Windage and still be able to use a solid bag for the rear support.

I had a Caldwell Rock Jr Shooting Rest that I used to mount the TPR on. I removed the original soft bag and drilled 2 holes in the top plate to secure the TPR. As you can see from the photos that I have way more than enough movement in all directions to shoot any size target as far out as 25-yards. I installed a Picatinny Duo-lever Clamp on the TPR so that I can quickly attach any Pistol that has a Picatinny bottom mount. The design also allows for a quick and easy way to refilled the Pistol with air using a large cylinder. I used stainless steel aircraft self locking nuts to be able to control the tension for both axis.

Acquisitions of a target after shooting and then chocking the Pistol is four to five times faster now. I shot this target in way less time than I have been able to do with other set-ups. Boy this “thing” is rock solid and so simple and easy to use.

Fire sale for this bone stock leshiy 2 in 350mm 25cal repr reg. I bought it a few months ago (second owner) from a member here, and although I’ve had many in the past, and love the platform, I want to go a different direction.

Comes with all original accessories and factory box.

Asking $1750 plus half shipping.

Any more questions or picture requests, pm me.

Thanks for looking.

I bought this gun and don't think I'm gonna like it. Checking to see what my trade options are. Send pictures of what your wanting to trade. I shoot 30 caliber bench mostly,so I'll be wanting an bench set up in 30 caliber. It is 30 caliber,23inch barrel. One mag and single shot loader.

Hello!

I brought the 30 of these with me to the 2024 WFTC in Arizona this past week and they were a big hit.

I have 1", 30mm, 34mm and 40mm.

They extend to be 25.5" long, they pivot 360° and hinge greater than 180°. You should be able to get your indicator above you and in a position that reads the wind well. I found that my shooting position would constantly get in the way my windicator from properly reading the direction and intensity of the wind around me.

These are $20 each, shipping is $5.
Paypal f&f or you pay the 3%

Well we got an early snow before Thanksgiving here in southern Indiana. So I did some rearranging. Macavity MA2, .25 long. DNT Zulus 5-20 LRF. Good fun to be had by all!

By chance anyone got one of these, a Benjamin nitro piston with synthetic stock? It’s the Trail series


Looking for one in 22 caliber. Must be functional. I’d like to gift it to my junior high basketball coach whom I’ve kept in touch with since 1977. He’s a special person to me, but truly old school. Definitely not the pcp type which can be overwhelming. He’s a simple guy with simple country boy needs. He’s got a beautiful log cabin in the hills getting overrun with squirrels, and having had one of this exact same gun, I think it would be perfect for him

Thanks in advance

My first step up in tiers, only previous experience is with Hatsan AT44 and Flashpup(which I love!). Definitely can see where the extra money goes wow!!! The 2 lower rows are 14 shot groups, the bottom middle was my Dad his first time shooting the gun. The inner white circle is 0.5" and the outer black is 1". Thanks again Mike!!!

I have seen the other posts but a bit confused. I would love to find the cheapest most effective mod to quit it down if that’s baffles or any type of moderator and you have a product please post it here. Also mags. I would like to upgrade to a bottle but I’m not going to bother if I can’t find a 4500 regulator/adapter. If I am missing something please let me know. I have been shooting at about 2500 at 905 with 25.39gr and get about exactly a mag worth out and it’s time too fill. It’s worth it for how accurate it is. First PCP gun and Love it! 75yrd on the target smashing the red

Hello AGN,

I'm looking to sell an FX Impact M3 Standard 0.22 600mm in black w/ FX high capacity Side-Shot magazine, FX moderator, Magpul grip, stainless steel bolts installed, FX extended foster fitting, and factory FX hard case. This is the latest iteration of the M3 with the Power Block and front barrel clamp; the barrel has dual transfer ports (P for pellets & S for slugs) and has the latest STX Superior pellet liner inside. This awesome rifle is currently set up to shoot 18.13g JSB's at 915-920fps with great consistency and accuracy. First reg is set to 150 bar, second reg at 100bar, power wheel is at 8, Quick Tune adjuster is at 3, and valve adjust is at about 3.5 bars - at this setting, the rifle is very quiet with the included factory FX moderator. It also comes with a complete set of stainless steel bolts already installed (with anti-seize compound applied); these bolts not only look better - they'll wear better over time as they will not rust. All of the original black screws will be included as well if you want to reinstall those instead.

This rifle is in excellent condition, holds air perfectly and shoots extremely well. This was my personal rifle for the last year or so and it has served me very well whenever I needed it. It wasn't shot much but was always reliable and accurate whenever a ground squirrel popped up in the backyard. The left and right side plates by the butt stock were cerakoted in distressed red for a custom build (the other cerakoted accessories are being sold separately); you can paint/cerakote these plates back to black as needed. The original grip was upgraded to the Magpul beavertail AR grip in stealth gray. The only thing to point out on this rifle is that the tiny little factory FX grub screw that holds the pellet probe in the carrier is stripped. FX loctites this tiny little grub screw at the factory so it's very difficult to remove without stripping the screw so if you plan on replacing the pellet probe or doing a barrel caliber change, you'll need to figure out how to get this stripped screw out before doing so. Other than that, this rifle is rock solid and ready to go! The only reason I'm selling this rifle is because my M4 finally arrived.

Price is: $1500 + 1/2 shipping within the continental US (scope and mounts not included in the selling price...)

Local pickup is available in the SF Bay Area - otherwise, payment by Paypal Friends & Family is preferred (or add 3.5% if using PP Goods & Services). I have plenty of feedback both here as well as dating back to the old Yellow Forum so please feel free to do your due diligence and know that you're dealing with a reputable trader.

Does anyone know of someone in the Buffalo, New York area who repairs PCP pellet rifles?

They have several new rifles coming out ..... Supposedly...but right now it been crickets...the rifles coming out is the JTS ThunderLance Pro.....JTS Shawlawk......and of the course the JTS StealthHawk.....
With Barra releasing the 250z I don't think JTS should have any issues with that FX patent issue and besides these are Snowpeak M30 rifles remake over a little. If anyone called and asked please let us know...or if anyone from JTS is reading the forums let us know if there is a releasing date....thanks...

Ok, lets try this again...Kral .22cal synthetic stock bull pup. UTG 3-9x32 scope, two mags, fill probe, LDC, single shot tray, threaded shroud adapter for LDC. Extremely accurate with 21gr pellets. Holds air and functions great. Free shipping to lower 48. $325.

Order placed Monday morning. Two items in stock. Thursday night still processing

Items shipped this morning (friday)

Hey All,

Posted this yesterday and then changed my mind but no sense letting it just sit so…..

Bought this a week or so ago thinking I was going to be mister slug shooter and while this gun is PHENOMENAL at that, I am just not a slug guy, no matter how much I think I want to be….

This is a custom .22 Kalibr Cricket 60 (long). This was donated for an EBR prize a couple years back.

Has a custom 700mm (stock are 600) 17.7 twist, 12 groove, no choke barrel which is a great combo for anyone wanting a solid .22 slug shooter.

I am shooting 18.13 currently at 900 FPS on a reg pressure of around 120 bar for a ton of shots. This gun can easily be tuned to shoot the mid weight .22 slugs and really what it was designed to do. I have shot the 20.2 Daystate Howlers and they are outstanding (pic below of 2 7 shot groups at 33 yards).

Has a custom paint job and wood grips as well.

Comes with 2 magazines and fill probe.

Say 975.00 and we can split the shipping….

PayPal for pmt.

I think I have posted that I stepped into the CO2 world a short time ago.
Having a great time with the Clone shooting in my garage.
Sooooo stopped off at the local drug store/sporting goods/kitchen goods/clothing store etc etc to buy some 177 pellets. Found tins of Crossman premiers 7.9 gr for about $14.00 and grabbed a tin. When I got to the register they asked for my ID. “What for?“ I asked. For the pellets. Are you kidding me? Carded for a tin of pellets?!?!?!

Is this normal?

Since other platforms where I've been posting my experience have character count restrictions, I decided AGN would be a good place to compile my day-to-day experiences at the Worlds last week. So this will be the full recap, versus the parsed down version I have been posting on my socials.
-
This was my 6th Worlds, but it’s been a few years since I’ve gone and after the season I’ve had, my expectations were pretty high. I had set two goals for myself going in:
1) Earn the WFTF Master patch, meaning my score is within 92.5% of the high score
2) Finish the event as the top US shooter.
-
I traveled with a small group from Ohio. Four of us left Cleveland early Monday morning, arriving in Arizona mid-morning. Ted, Keith, Jeff and I were the first to touch down. We met up with Gary literally at the gate next to ours and Bill flew in on Tuesday. We had a nice house in Mesa that comfortably housed all of us and our gear and for a pretty reasonable price. Our first stop was to Airguns of Arizona, where we had shipped our guns the week prior. After collecting them and getting the tour, we grabbed some lunch before heading to our house to check in and unpack.

We spent Tuesday with Airgunners of Arizona up at the Ben Avery range. It was about an hour drive, but well worth it to check out the guns and get a few lanes in. We saw friends from around the world. Australia, , Canada, Puerto Rico, South Africa, England, Wales, Brazil, and a few others. Thankfully we were also able to get an issue with Jeff’s EV2 resolved. It was intermittently not cocking, and we figured out it was some wear on the hammer and sear, so with a little tweaking, we got it fixed. Special thanks to the AOA crew for letting us work in their mobile airgun van!

(you can see the witness mark (sharpie) on the hammer. Jeff and I checked this every evening to verify it hadn't moved back towards the worn spot)

With that sorted, I shot the mini-match with Jared from Australia. Learned a lot about the tricky wind we would later encounter and ended up with a 45/48 which may have been the top score of the day. Definitely a good start.

(Jared taking aim at the Ben Avery range)

Wednesday was the official check in and equipment check, along with sight in day. No issues there, but the wind was humbling. You had to get very comfortable with the idea of holding anywhere from 1”-6” off of the kill zone at 55 yards. Bear in mind, kill zones at that distance are 40mm/~1.5”, so the wrong wind call can easily lead to a miss. With everyone feeling good about their guns, Keith, Jeff, Bill, and I went to Superstitious Mountain and hiked about 2/3 of the Flat Rock trail. Amazing views, and a great time overall.

(A few pics from Superstitious Mountain)

Later that evening was the official opening ceremony with all the teams and shooters present. One of the best aspects of Worlds is the team side of the event. Each day, the top 3 scores from your team combine for your team total. Highest total wins. Our team was made up of myself and 5 fantastic PCP shooters: Greg Sauve, Lukas Richter, Lauren Parsons, David Alsup and Paul Cray. Even if you’re not in the hunt to place, your score still may have an impact (that'll be important for later). And we had high hopes!

(Team USA - PCP and Piston - Ready to go!)

We will be updating this thread as the deals appear!
