My Fx m3 compact 500 mm, is now shooting 23 gr. Pellets in 22 cal. At 900 fps. ( it was that way when I bought it).

They are somewhat consistent but get fliers in different places out of say one mag.

i know different barrels like didderent things. Just trying to get a range like 900-950?
or what others have found works best in theirs.

Wanting to go to 100 with accuracy. considering slugs as well.

Thanks in advance!

Hi peeps,

A newbie here. Over the past few months I've been researching pcp air rifles with the goal to design and make 1 (for) myself. During this process, it got me thinking of alternative methods to achieve spin stabilization of the pellet/slug other then rifling the barrel or making a polygonal barrel with a twist.

I've been wondering, is it possible to spin the pellet through airflow alone? By "rifling" the airflow behind the pellet, which in turn would spin the pellet as it is propelled forward by the air. The reduce friction and increase the effect of the "rifled airflow", maybe a very small gap between the barrel and pellet is needed.

Any insight and/or related comments are greatly appreciated.
Also happy holidays everyone, hope you have a good one.

What shooting app would you recommend for my I phone? I tried strelok but it is no longer available. I have a BRK ghost hp in 22caliber.

Hello,

This shroud works amazing if you have a barrel tensioner kit installed. Basically you will slide right over carbon barrel tensioner (see pic) and screw it on. It will put your impact in original form with the barrel tensioner kit hidden. The benefit is that it will dramatically reduce the muzzle report like in the original form before barrel tensioner kit. If you have a tensioner kit installed without a shroud it is super loud and this is because there is no way for air to escape other than the very front of the barrel, hence, the very loud noise.

This shroud will fit over .30 cal and below since it came out of a .30 cal impact. Will fit MK2 and M3 Impacts.

Thanks for looking!

Well after talking with Scott Schneider (Motörhead) and Matt from Jefferson State Air Rifles I've flipped the switch on a .25 Raptor long barrel ( 26"/ 660mm) and larger plentum). Not doing anything crazy. Rational is I WANT IT, which should be enough. Went with a .25 because of my permission for ground squirrels has WIND. As some know I've got a .22 Maverick Compact that splats the little rodents quite well at 125 yards, and my .25 VP 600mm barrel that is a friggin' tack driver so....I'm treating myself to something different. I'm fully expecting 1/2 minute of squirrel.

Now at some point in time, I'll get this thing and we'll see what it can do.

Shifted to shooting indoors so time to tune the .177 Piatt/Thomas. I may be the 3rd or even 4th owner and the rifle may not have even been shot before l purchased it, as such, I had no idea what FPE it was jetted for.

Turns out it was jetted for 12 FPE. Adjusted the hammer spring CCW from 12 o'clock to 7 o'clock dropping the FPE from 13.9 to 11.6 using the Baracuda FT 9.57 gr 4.51 mm pellets.

If you give the regulator 10 seconds between shots the FPE stays between 11.4 and 11.6 (tested over 100 shots).

As for accuracy - it is a Thomas - cut the 9 ring every time on the USA/NRA 5O ft Target at 20 yards.

I want to thank Mike for an awesome design and beautiful machining and finish work, Will Piatt for assembling and smithing the rifle, and Rod for the final range set up. You three made it possible for me to own and shoot one kick ass rifle.

Hi all.

I own a Fx impact M3 in .25cal, i have it tuned to shoot 39g slugs at 960fps, i have used the same tune since june 2021, everything internally is stock, Airmarksman backbone rail fitted,saber tactical front rail fitted etc. Recently i have noticed it sounds louder at the breech end, i changed the orings on the transfer port and the breech oring, but it still sounds a little louder than it used to, any ideas??.

I have spent many hours researching the Hatsan Jet on various air gun websites, independent posts and Youtube videos (most of these are positive since these guys are either clueless or have something to sell).

In the past week, Midway USA had the Hatsan Jets on clearance (Jet 1 177/25 for $136 and Jet 2 177/22 for $178).
Those lowered prices triggered even more research, and still the same crappy shot strings and acceptable short range (15-25 yards) accuracy.

Every time I have an itch for a Hatsan Jet I seem to buy a different air gun, like my second Umarex Notos or a Gamo Arrow.

This is my conclusion
The shot string is really bad (2 consistent magazines at most), and the accuracy seems pretty bad (especially in .177) or if you shoot past 20 yards.
Many people will cut and recrown their barrels to improve their poor accuracy, still the limit is about 20-25 yards.

Overall performance is much worse than the Umarex Notos or even the 13-14 year old Benjamin Marauder pistol (my PROD with a BStaley mod would be vastly better than the Jet).

After all my research, the main thing I like about the Jet are its cool looks,.
But I will not buy anything (or marry anyone) based on looks

Update
I caved and bought a Hatsan jet 2 in .177 from MidwayUSA (about $160 shipped).
To my surprise it is not bad.
The acceptable accuracy (3/4-1 inch at 18-20 yards) is the main weak point.
Ergonomics are really good.
Trigger is very good.

Even the shot string is good after doing some mods.

With my .177 Jet 2 I have managed to get 6 magazines (48 shots) with 7.5-8 grain pellets in the 740-780 FPS range from 250 bar to 130 bar.
These are the mods:
-removed the 2 hammer spring preload washers
-added 1 M3 nut as preload to the valve spring
-placed 1 washer on the valve stem where the valve spring sits
This washer will restrict the air flowing into the barrel, and also acts as valve spring preload.
Initially the washer was restricting most air and got velocities in the 400 FPS range.
I ground the washer outer diameter a little to allow more air to pass.

are these something special?

After two weeks in pain I decided to see the doc today, I was told I broke my ribs. I thought that I bruised them bad but the pain wouldn't subside so decided to go in. I for one like to do things myself and I paid for it. I was getting a air tank ready for hydro. I was leaning over the bottle with my hand and arm on it and my other hand trying to twist the valve off. The valve was tight so I put my body weight into it, it let go resulting me throwing my chest into the tank. I was in so much pain I almost passed out. Just thought I'd give a little warning two people are sometimes better than one. I wasn't going to mention this but it might help someone from doing the same thing. Yes sh** happens and I did it

I’ve been tuning a few rifles and have approx. 15 spring sets to install now. I’m not satisfied with my crony. I’m using the Caldwell. The FX was not working for me. I would like to get a good quality chronograph. I heard mention of a Garmin Zero and I’ve seen an orange one that looked serious. I don’t want one that’s complicated but simple to use and accurate.
I would really appreciate some suggestions.

Well my HW100 is back from a complete reseal by AOA, I want to thank Shane for excellent service and communication. Now looking forward to shooting it some,going to get cold for next week or so, rain/snow tomorrow so wont get to shoot any for awhile.

TAIPAN VETERAN LONG .25 caliber with scope . It never been tuned or tweaked in any way it's completely stock. This gun is a pellet on pellet shooter. It will be ready to hunt when you get it. It comes with two magazines and one fill probe and yes the scope comes with it. It's in great shape and was very well taken care of. I hate to sell but I'm needing the cash. $900 shipped within the conus

I looked for a sticky but did not find. I am used to paying the gov’t a fee and filling out paperwork to own firearms suppressors for powder burners. I am seeing in the airgun community that this is not so? You guys just buy and install?

What is the difference? What would happen to me if i have papered suppressors, and also airgun suppressors in my possession. The Alphabet org could claim i had them to install on my powder rifles? I need educated before i own one of these. Is there a resource here?

Hey folks. I've got a Huben K1 (.25) with a wood stock. This is going to by my primary woods-walking hunting rifle. I'm anticipating more dings and scratches since it's going to be a weekly carrier. I chose wood for various personal reasons, but know it's gonna get scratched. Looking for opinions. Since it's wood stock, what does everyone else use to protect their wood stocks and why? 'Wood' love to see pics also, lol. Thanks.

I have a bunch of Mr. Hollowpoint pellets for sale. I sold some of my air rifles and now need to get rid of the pellets. Let me know if you're interested. I have 450 99 grain .357 pellets that fit in the HP Max .357 mags, some larger grain .357s that are good for hunting, a bunch of .457s in different weights, and some .72s. Let me know if interested.

I can't hit the bullseye can you help me.

Ok. Here’s the deal with this gun. I bought a Veradium Air Taurus in .357 that was an extreme under performer. It went back to Brian to get “fixed”. In the meantime, I decided I really wanted a .257. I called Brian and asked if her could convert the Taurus into a regulated, mag fed .257. He said yes, and I’d be able to get 16 regulated shots in the 100 fpe range. Long story short, I’m into this gun for $1200, a $900 drone and a .22 Ataman M2R. So for $2600ish, I now have a non regulated, 10 shot, no magazine .257. It wasn’t until deep into the conversion he told me of the changes. I stupidly agreed to them. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty nice gun, but not worth $2600. It will shoot 55gr slugs at 980-880 over 10 shots. After my fall out with Brian, I really don’t want any of his custom guns in my possession. Someone else can enjoy this. I don’t really have any trades in mind. If you have something around the $1000 range to trade I’d be happy. You can PM me your number and I’d be happy to text or call with any questions.

Anybody out there who has ordered the new Zulus heard anything about a shipping date. Mine is on order from early December but have heard nothing from Arken.

Just got a 22 barrel for my 25 cal ghost. I still can’t believe how easy the change was. Take the screw out holding barrel and remove take screw out of probe and remove reverse with 22 parts. Check what pw does-850-975 with 25 gr mrds go up a few clicks and we are sighted in! Wow! Never had 1 go that slick before!

Is there a pistol version of the artillery hold for use with spring piston pistols and shooting offhand? If so, can someone describe it? Not asking about shooting off a rest, just offhand.

So When I purchased my outstanding original Avenger .22, I got a smoking deal on a very lightly used rifle. And it came dressed in a T————r brand tactical stock. This thing has broken twice now, and the second time was catastrophic. Non repairable. So … after using and enjoying a couple of Buck-Rail products, I decided to try his version as a replacement. All I can say is WOW again. Terry’s stuff is miLes ahead of the competition! This thing is EASY to install, and so much better build quality. Fit and finish is excellent, not to mention a little less expensive, and Terry stands behind everything he produces. I, for one, am totally impressed and satisfied.
Thanks again Buck-Rail for making truly quality and affordable products. Keep up the good work.

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any experience with this rifle they could share? What type of pellet shoots well? To what distance are they effective? True velocity of a 20 grsin to 26 grain projectile? Does it have a trajectory like a catapult or only after a certain distance?

I’m considering one but have never tried. Please let me know what you think of them

Thanks

I have an Fx Dreamline and it seems the safety is opposite of the markings...help
