  • Question
Diana  Diana 54 action movement

I just purchased a new Diana 54 Airking Pro (laminated stock) in .22 cal. I was siting it in and found that the first shot would be dead on, the second 3" low, the third dead on (same hole as the first) and fourth 3" low (same hole as the second). I was very puzzled until I realized that the entire action slides within the stock and it was not returning to the front position when re-cocked. So, I manually pull the barrel forward within the stock after every shot and it's always dead on.

The manual says that it should automatically go back to the front position when re-cocked. Any ideas?

Also, the entire mechanisms shifts within the stock (see pics). Is this normal? Pyramid Air (Seller) said this is a defective gun but I think they might be wrong? They said that the there should be no movement within the stock. However, I thought that's what a sliding action did.
Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Dan

Airgun Altaros M24 - Increasing power and shot count, New spare magazine

We would like to inform you that the current stock M24 rifles have already been delivered new elements in the
form of the possibility to fill the airtube up to 300bar and the possibility to set the output pressure from the
regulator up to the limit of 250bar
. Thanks to this, more power can be achieved and the shot count can be
increased.

The green field is the recommended output pressure in the form of a suitable ratio of power and air consumption,
as well as the pressure to which the rifle is primarily set from the factory.

We would also like to officially announce that it is possible to order Altaros M24 airgun from our second e-shop https://www.militaryairgun.com/49-airguns also for customers from the USA.
We have also added to the ehsop the possibility of purchasing spare magazines for all types of our ATP .25 slugs, not just for the ATP Queen. https://www.militaryairgun.com/113-magazines-accesories


new power and shot count.png



Some rifles with these features were already delivered to users at the end of 2023. The possibility of filling
the airtube for a short time to 300bar (roughly one to 1 hour) can be recognized by the fact that the manometer
showing unregulated pressure has a scale up to 400bar (original manometer for max. filling pressure 250bar has a scale
only up to 300bar).
If you have a manometer with a 400bar scale, you can download the new manual on our website and after studying
it, start using the rifle even for 300bar filling pressure in accordance with this new manual

Air Arms  Prosport/ TX200 breech seals...

Just curious about the life span on these o-ring breech seals for the prosport. I don't know, but would assume, the TX200 has the same 2 ring set up. I have read of some having issues with the top o-ring being sliced or chewed up somewhat?
Is this more so on the TX200, or do the prosports
have similar issues?

So far with mine I have a couple of tins through it and I haven't seen any issues yet.

With my 97K and 77K I use a thin delrin spacer to put between the compression tube and the back of the breech (not where the pellet goes in),to keep pressure off of the breech seal when they're stored in the safe. This seems to work well from keeping the seals from being flattened out over time.

I bought several spare 97/77 breech seals long ago before the price on them went way up. There was a place in Canada, Specialty Shooting Sports
I think it was. They had the 97 seals for like $4 which was the cheapest I've ever seen, they're out of business now.

FX  Jekyll and Hyde... the FX M3..

When i purchased my first FX M3 its sole purpose was to be for extended range shooting with slugs....
Distances of less than 100yds and pellets are of no interest.


It has been a VERY frustrating adventure with the M3.... I never dreamed the M3 was actually a "Jekyll and Hyde" in the disguise as an PCP airgun..

When the M3 presents itself as "Dr Jekyll" it is VERY charming....behaves as should and produces some stunning , stunning examples of accuracy right where it should be and right where you want it.
In this form its a fantastic friend to have and something you can depend on..

BUT!!!

Just when you thought life was all roses and just couldn't get any better.......This evil evil bastard called " Mr Hyde" takes the form of the M3!!!!

Groups open up......... and the worst , worst trait of "Mr Hyde" ...............even if you do get good groups , they are not where they are supposed to be ....... he just says to hell with it, and puts them at random all around your point of aim ......then you hear that manic laughter and you realise its time to call it quits for the day.


:LOL::LOL:


Today...... was "Dr Jekyll" :)

Air Arms  TX200 HC Cocking arm spinning?

Something felt weird when I cocked the gun and I noticed it's rotating. I can pull it about 1/8 inch forward. It does not screw on to the nub on the knuckle if you want to call it that but definitely is rotating freely.
It slides over the top of that piece. But I can't see how it is attached ?
I have looked at schematics but nothing shows it as being separate.


update-

I just found this picture on a UK forum and it sounds like it just glues on..

I'm just curious if anybody here has come to a better resolution than that, or if that's just fine...

Tuning  L2 Conversion Therapy- Bigbore No more! ((.177) tune repository

Hello Friends! Hope everyone is having a great start to the year :)
My current L2 is stock 250mm AP .30 with REPR reg.

I want to convert it to a .177 paper puncher and maximize shot count for distances 25yrds and under. Preferred ammo would be jsb wadcutters but would love to know peoples’ tunes for other ammo as well. My gf got me a pack of greens (7.33gr) for Christmas so that’s on deck.

I bought the following:
  • 470cc airtank
  • 250mm .177 barrel (Alfa Precision)
  • .177 pellet mag
  • 0.2mm-1.3mm power jet kit
  • 2x 2.0mm jets
  • Raptor reg
  • Dog collar (New Forward Plug LSA242200 #32)
  • Dog bone (New Forward Plug LSA242200 #33)
  • Assortment of different size transfer port pucks, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm

Unfortunately the Wika gauge arrived all scratched up so I had to send it back and am waiting for a replacement so I don’t currently have a way to measure plenum pressure 😞


Anything submitted here will (eventually) be used as the starter data for a central repository of L2 tunes (all calibers). Not 100% sure how I want to do it yet, just maintain a hosted spreadsheet or actually make a site with selectable options that allows user submissions and possibly a rating system. Honestly it will mostly be a factor of time.


That being said, my questions to all you L2 experts out there are-
  • What are your favorite .177 tunes?
  • Please include as many of the following data points as possible
    • Ammo used (I know this is obvious)
    • Plenum pressure
    • Jet selections
    • Transfer port pick size
    • Barrel length
    • Velocity
    • Shot count & airtank or shots per x cc
    • Were there any notes/comments/issues with this tune?
Additional data points
  • Barrel type
  • REPR/Raptor/Old school
  • [anything else I’m missing]?


Thank you for taking the time to read this and share your wisdom. It’s rare I actually get to shoot at this point which is why I’m requesting this info instead of just doing the leg work myself.
Have a fantastic evening!

Theoben  SLR98...cure for rainy day blues

Crazy rain and flooding here in New England today. What better way to shake off those Winter blahs than some indoor target shooting on my 20 yard range.

And what better gun to plink with than one of my SLR98 Carbines. Just fill a few Mags and let her rip! Such a simple pleasure.

This particular SLR98 is so sublime to shoot being David Slade tuned. The trigger is phenomenal! The lock time is super fast and hardly any recoil. Hard to miss at this distance.

One more reason that I enjoy this hobby so much. Simple unadulterated fun. Takes my mind off of the floods and mess out in the world and makes me focus on what really matters....quality time.

Daystate  Back to the dark side

Back into pcp rifles after a few years away well actually about 10 ,Man time flies ! Used to have a beautiful Air Arms S510 carbine in 22 that was so accurate it was boring lol, sold it and the shoebox compressor (that’s actually why I got out of it because of maintenance pain and hard to find air where I live) so after lurking here and reading lots of threads decided to jump in both feet again and just got my Daystate huntsman revere safari in .22 and what a shooter !! Very impressed with everything about it so far. oh and also got a GX-Cs 4 compressor and tank so different from shoebox a pleasure to use. it’s good to be back!!

Gotta Love FaceBook

Got a friend request from someone I don't know.
Asked them why they wanted to be my friend.
They said it's not a crime is it to ask?
I said No. How do you feel about the bodies buried in my back yard?
I've yet to get a reply.
I don't think they were serious about being Friends!
:unsure:

Cataloging your collection

I read in a recent post somewhere of the idea of cataloging your collection. Just making a detailed list of what I own was an eye opener. It would be good to have in the event I wanted to sell what I have or when I inevitably leave this planet it would be helpful to those left to clean out my things.
Has anyone else cataloged their collection... just wondering

Beeman  My take on a Beeman Marshall carbine

Finally got my project finished up. Started life as a 2028 pistol. Not a fan of the plastic buck rail kit for these guns, so I went to town with a buttstock off a kral I had laying around. Molded it all together with Fiberglass resin.

Painted with a silver base and charcoal metallic top coat to give it a nice pewter finish. Was trying to match the matte carbon fiber I used for the shroud. Now I'm thinking about clear coating the carbon fiber, and maybe redo the paint just a bit darker.

Needed a lot of love done to the barrel, but it's minute of squirrel noggin now. 20 shots at 700-725 with air arms 16s. Will serve well as a bird and squirrel buster under 40 yards.

It's quiet enough not to spook my old beagle who runs and hides when it thunders or there are fireworks. She just stayed on her loveseat and cuddled with her stuffed animals lol. She gets nervous when she even sees a gun. Definitely not a hunting dog!

Im hoping to get it oustide this weekend, but it's supposed to be -4 on Sunday morning here, so I doubt that'll happen.

Umarex  Umarex Gauntlet 2 PCP .22 heavy vs 30 cal

I want to start by saying I do not know much about the Umarex Gauntlet 2 line other than the videos on Uboob. Please help me understand somethings about the gun and what it is capable of doing in both the .22 or 30 cal.

Fact is weight with speed = fpe. Basically right so what I am getting at if I take a .22 cal and drop a 44g projectile in it doing 1040 its no different than dropping a using a 30 cal 44g pellet going 1040. Larger surface mass will decrease speed faster. Just trying to understand what route I would like to take next. So.....

What is the heaviest projectile that will fit in the mag on a Gauntlet 2 in .22cal?

Same goes for the 30cal?

I guess I will start here and keep working on getting to the point. At the end I am looking to see if it would be better to mod a 22 to a heavy slugger or just go with 30 call. I thing but am not sure that you could get a lot more shots on the 22 cal route.

I hope my thoughts came across how I was intending to ask them but may have not. Here goes nothing.
