I was gifted an old Daisy 111. I am going to start the cleanup process and was wondering about what type of oil to use in the oil hole in the barrel?
I had heard a NON detergent 30 weight motor oil would work. The problem is that I think a NON detergent 30 weight motor oil is hard to find now a days.
Does anyone have a brand name NON detergent 30 weight motor oil that they would recommend? Does it specify "NON detergent" on the label?
Is there any other oil you would recommend?
Thanks.

I just discovered that Daisy has an account on X and it's rather lit. Lots of nostalgic stuff. Crosman and others really should do the same.


Cheers,

A very small compact scope for a pp750 .what all are you running.for squirrel 5 to 30 yards?you no those little pesty poops when you are hunting deer from a treestand?what say you?

So two weeks ago I was doing some shots at 40-50 yards with the Notos at some targets I had beside the shed. Then decided to stretch it out a little more. Once I got the holdover figured out I was able to pretty consistently hit this plastic jug on a stick at just a little over 100 yards in a light variable wind. Even though it’s not that small of a target, I was pretty happy with that. Who else is pushing the Notos into unintended territory, distance or otherwise?

I have 3 PCP guns 2 are regulated. Last few days I setup my shooting bench and checked the accuracy and speed of the pellets. The Edgun R5M and AGT Vixen are regulated guns were bad at more than 1.5" to 2" at 33 yards. The last time I checked they were much better like 1/3" or less. I pulled out the Marauder to check am I that lousy of a shot or are the others guns bad. My 1st and cheapest gun the unregulated Marauder was the most accurate like 1/2" at 33 yards with a low un-regulated ES. The velocities of the R5M and Vixen had ES over 50 fps at times. So I think the regulators are bad and need re-building.

The Vixen is 2021 and the Edgun is 2018. Never rebuilt the regulators. Maybe they would last longer if I didn't fill to 300 bar and leave them like that for months! They never leaked any air.

Funny, the cheapest gun the Marauder I don't use 1+ year, just works, no leaks, zero stays put, no reg problems, but the velocity dropped from last I checked from 840 fps to 810 fps.

Edit- thanks everyone for a lot of answers. Before I posted this I did not know enough to simply ask the question any better.
So here is what (or how) I think I should have asked it:
Why does the drag law I am being told, or recommended, to use in certain apps differ?
Why does the bc on the tin not match what the calculator says it will do AND not match what I see in real life?
I have a ton of stuff to go try out now and I don't feel stuck so thanks.

P.S.
Some people are super smart and they like showing off and that can come across as talking down. But I grew up on the less fun end of a one-way range so it's pretty hard to hurt my feelings. I'm new to improving at this level, not 10 years old.
People can be any combination of wrong, right, nice or a big turd about it. It's all paying for education and now I've got homework or else I just wasted everyone's time with a less than optimal question that ya'll kindly took the time to try to answer.
I can tell you all that there are a LOT fewer and less angry know it alls in this world than in real guns, 3 gun especially. Some folks maybe should be nicer and other people maybe need to let more attitudes slide.


Guys and gals I have been doing my homework which means I have tried figuring it out on my own before bothering you fine folks.
I have a chrony built into my barrel and one at 25 yards.
I am using JSB Exact 44.75gr, a well calibrated mg scale and a brand of micrometer for head size that is so German I'd get kicked out of Disneyland (again) for saying it out loud. What am I doing wrong?
I'm getting bcs from low .03s to mid- high .04s.
I've read some things that are way too complex that I don't have equipment for, radar and such, but we have been figuring bc on paper forever.
What do I do? I intended to go through all my JSB weights and play on all the ballistics calcs to scratch my autism itch for the day but I never got past the JSB exact 44.75.

Today at the Junior Sportsman’s session at my club, while the juniors were shooting. I let a few of the attending dads fondle the Pathfinder… I was running the line and overheard them talking bout “BB guns”. One of them owns a Benjamin Fortitude. So I pulled out my case and said when the line goes hot… fondle away. To say they were impressed is an understatement, then I gave them the addresses to the AGN and HAM sites… Am going to set up a specific shooting station for the dads in the next session to deeply set the PCP hooks…

Just had this happen.. Crazy.. Lucky I was just pressure testing and was only at 200 BAR and not higher.

Anyone have this happen? Looks like tank is okay and valave is okay.. Just the O-ring blew out. I had it on tight.

are HW barrels pressed in or threaded on the breach block ? EDIT : spring guns as in HW50 , HW 97 etc.

I have had a FX Royale 400 regulated in 22 caliber for 4 years. In the past year I have noticed it has lost some velocity. Say average was 910fps now down to sometimes 885fps. All shot are still very consistent so I didn't think it is the regulator. I changed the breach o ring on suggestion of a member here and that changed velocity just a little to around 890fps. It seams maybe air is leaking around the o ring on each shot. I ordered some 009 Buna-N O rings of 90 durometer. They are pretty hard and a pain to install but it has helped my velocities to be back at 910fps average again for 50 shots. I will see how the long term effect is.

ok it’s back. Selling my beautiful Revere because I don’t have time to shoot it. Comes with one magazine, fill probe and a single shot tray. She’s all stock from aoa. No leaks. JSB 10.34 at about 880. Asking $1450 shipped. no scope. PayPal f&f only please. Will ship to lower 48 UPS GROUND tracked and an adult signature required.

Just went to buy some pellets.

My HW100 only shoots pin point with Air Arms Diabolo Field, the .177 sized to 4.52mm

My HW57 only shoots straight with RWS Field Line .177

Last time I purchased any pellets, I paid £28 ish for 2 tins of AA and one tin of RWS...

... today I paid £38.48 for exactly the same order.

Thats around a 40% price increase.

Anyone know where you can get online (UK) air gun pellets because at those prices, its going to be cheaper to buy a swage and press my own.

Why on earth are 99% of all Airguns STILL come with an 11mm dovetail mounts!

When 99% of your decent scopes have 22mm scope rings on them.

I can’t find any quality scope rings that will fit both a 1in tube of the scope and have 11mm mounts.

Always have to use an adapter. Which of course raises the scope higher up. Then I tend to need a cheak rest to compensate………

I thought I would have the time but I don’t. I got carried away and bought a bunch of stuff. I have a Texan LSS CF .457 and I have an Skout Epoch in a 22 with a .30 barrel and liner. The Skout is the long barrels and not the short one. I always have a pressslug press and 2 dies. 1 in a .22 and 1 in a .30 I live south of Chicago 30 miles. The Texan I shot 5 rounds and the Skout 10 rounds in the .22. Not a fan of shipping, rather do a face to face at my local PD station for everyone’s safety and ease. Message me if interested. Asking $3,500 for everything. Attached is a pic is the SKOUT Epoch and extra barrel and the Pressslug. The pressslug has .22 and .30 dies with 10# of lead wire for each. I DO NOT SHIP. PICKUP ONLY SO DON’T ASK ABOUT SHIPPING ETC. IF YOUR NOT FOLLOWING WHAT I SAID PLEASE MOVE ON. I DON’T KNOW YOU, YOU DON’T KNOW ME. THIS IS WHY I DO NOT SHIP. PLUS I DON’T USE PAYPAL ETC….

Had myself a little fun in the shop today. Burned through some scrap i had laying around. Now the not so fun times with the grinder to make them look pretty enough to hurl lead at lol

New member. New pcp gun enthusiast looking to buy a notos for pest control. I used to rely heavily on my break barrel for getting the job done but looking for something with more accuracy and durability as I do pest control for a living on gulls, geese pigeons and in my own yard rats. I live in Canada and can't seem to find the notos on any of our sites but can get it in USA and go pick it up at the boarder store. I have my Pal so I don't think it will be a problem. Anyways I would eventually like to get a bottle conversion done as I honestly really like the look of it on the notos and wouldn't mind having extra shots in dealing with gulls. I can't PM yet so Firewalker if you can shoot me a message that would be awesome. I don't know if this type of mode is legal in Canada at all?. Who knows anymore as our country thinks anything that goes bang is scary danger and gets banned. Anyways I won't get into that as my feathers get ruffled.

Need to sell asap. Was in bad car accident. Fully modded out 25 cal mk 2 with original stock. See all included below. $1300 with buyer pays shipping from 08831 :
Larger air tank
Sumo moderator
Air Marks weights
Tons of pellets and slugs

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody out there can help me out.

I own 7 FX Air Rifles. I am having problems with two of rifles at the present time.

One is FX Revolution and the other is a FX Monsoon. Both guns were just resealed by a gunsmith that I have used for a very long time.

When I got the rifles back:

The Monsoon is holding air, but it has a slow leak.

The Revolution is holding air, but it will only work in single shot mode, not the semi-auto mode.

My Gunsmith told me he can't resolve the problems. He even sent the Revolution to one of FX's Repairs Center and they sent it back without even looking at it. Stating they don't work on older FX rifles!

So right now, I have two very expensive paper weights.

I have contacted all three of the repair stations that FX has listed on their website and all three of them told me "THEY DON"T WORK ON OLDER FX GUNS".

My last resort was to contact FX in Sweeden and sent them a very lengthy email explaining my situation. I just received an email back from them with a list of trouble shooting options and diagram and parts lists which I already have.

That Doesn't Help! I am 80 years old and can no longer work on any of my rifles.

Does anyone know of any Repair Shop, Air gun Smith or Individual that can help me out?

Any information that you can send my way would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

There are pages of Amazon and PayPal PCP compressors for <$400. Has anybody had success with the cheaper compressors as far as durability and ease of maintenance/rebuild? I have a ToAuto, new in the box, that I don't dare use for fear it won't work! "AirAuto" has been so maligned that I never see his posts anymore!
