Just learning to shoot with both eyes open, but I need something over my non dominant eye, I need some ideas what to use to cover my left eye.
I do where glasses. Thx

I know PCPs leak. I had my FX Impact M3 serviced a year ago for seals. They also tuned it for 30gr slugs. It is maxed out at the moment. Not that I need it to be but it is. I use it for backyard hunting raccoons in the winter for the most part. It will be shot maybe 20x a year and probably no more than 5 shots per occasion if even that. I would imagine that does not help. Anyways now it is leaking again very very slowly. 10 PSI a week. No big deal at all. But when it was new, it held pressure for a very long time. The Leshey2 I had also held pressure. It seamed like it never lost any pressure. Anyways... I am just curious. Would you service it? Should I care?

As much as I like the M3, I am starting to feel it is a total overkill and too much complication for my 20 yards distance, private war with coons. Maybe I should get something simple.

I have all three but my favorite is probably under-lever

Hi All. I do not have any local buying options for most anything airgun related. Where do you have the best experience with purchasing slugs online? I’ve used UA for gear and find their customer service to be fantastic. However, I’ve compared a handful of online retailers and when it comes to the cost plus shipping, shipping doubles the price.

I know they’re literally sending lead.

Some retailers offer free shipping over $150 or $200, but I don’t need 4,000 slugs at this time. Free shipping over $50 would be nice. Pointers?


Merry Christmas!

Last nite ,And it was looking really good" then the guy is setting up the rifle and goes to put this $1000 scope on it and he starts useing a crescent wrench to put it on"i just lost interest in the whole thing"God ya think after all that bull they would,a have a 10 or 14mm wrench laying around?

Absolutely pristine with everything you need to do a full rebuild if needed. Also comes with bat moderator…scope can be purchased for an additional amount, but does not come with gun. This is a laserbeam you can put 30 shots in basically one hole at 50 yards all day long. It’s almost ridiculous check out the reviews also shoot slugs FX hybrids with great groups at 100+ yards and plenty of power super easy to adjust comes with factory original walnut stock and a factory synthetic stock all parts are from Ed gun. This is a hard gun to find gun in the long model and it’s a beautiful, beautiful gun. This is not a desperate sale so the price is firm. I would probably be interested in taking a trade, and some money or equal value gun. also, this thing is super quiet very backyard friendly. Price is $1850.00 firm new owner will pay for shipping which will be three days select and insured.


full seal kit and also comes with the factory regulator…
2 moderators
Huma reg installed by dealer
new dealer xtra valve
new springs set
new synthetic gun stock
6 six factory magazines and O-rings for them.
If interested, I prefer to speak to people 209-984-6322 Dean have excellent reviews on here and eBay

Hey Guys,
Not sure what AirForce is up to, but they came out with a new line of (RAW) stabilization accessories which are attached via scope mount rings - I guess?
If these added weights use the scope rings, where does the scope go?

Maybe I've got it wrong, but these accessories seem ludicrous .......... does anyone understand this seemingly, superfluous addition ?

What should I inspect before purchasing a "used" Yong Heng compressor?

Do they come with a manual and spare parts?

Got this sweet little magnifier for Christmas… Airgun related because I will use it to read the gauges on my PCP. Now I can ”see” exactly where the needles are pointing.

He knows if you've been naughty

Anyone have a link, to a animated diagram, of a PCP operating system with plenum?

God bless

Woke up today and it is a wonderful 55 degrees out , rain all day but up to 64 Wahoo!!!

MERRY MERRY everyone

This morning I was looking for a rabbit for Christmas dinner but this little girl decided she would try burying an acorn in the grass before heading back to her tree.
That was the last mistake she'll ever make. Caught her at the ear and I found the pellet under the skin just behind her other ear, she was essentially pithed. The bulging eye indicates surprise(lol) or just excessive cranial pressure.
Another notch on the Notos sling.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Anyone had contact with this member lately.

Seeing as the 1:5 scale gasoline RC car track investment was money well wasted by my friend, i am now entering the construction business and will construct a new shot shed there.
This shed will have a Chinese diesel heater for winter, be plenty large to house 2 shooters, and as it is almost maximising what is available on my friends land the max range will be 130 Meters.

Short backstop will be a 20 foot container ( the driver tower ) that is at 57 Meters. ( we probably put targets at 50 M here, so some ways in front of container )

Middle range back stop will be a earth berm ( 180 degree turn on the now overgrown track ) its 4-5 feet tall so should do fine as is, but a pellet trap thing might well be put up there.
This is about as far as i shoot now so 88 Meters according to google maps ruler.

Finally the long range that will be the enbankment / stone wall back stop way back in the corner where i shoot to now from the other shed on the picture, but where this have been 86 Meters it will change to be a massive 130 Meters, so that should be good wholesome fun with a .177 air rifle.

A big plus, well for two fatties like us, the shed will be in the shade most of the day as it will be up against some fairly big Fir trees, so nice comfortable shade most of a summer day.
In the winter the trees also a nice wind break.

Otherwise the general direction of shooting is also pretty much clear as far as neighbours is, well unless you overshoot massive, dont hit any of the tall trees, and a .177 can fly 1/2 mile and be a problem.

The shed will start out pretty ghetto like CUZ building materials too are not cheap here either, but i recon something like 450 USD will get us started ( that is minus the heater )

Just wanted to follow-up on post by "Neu" last week on the $16 tripod. Might be inexpensive but certainly NOT cheap in build quality. Received my rifle clamp yesterday & immediately mounted it on tripod. SOLID! Easily & SAFELY supports my beloved guns. What an amazing deal. Thanks again Neu!!!

Well, my grown kids were busy this year so it was just me and my wife. Decided to go to the casino, she walked out 600 ahead and I came out 350 ahead. Now I already have the money for my next airgun purchase, but this just made it alot easier to justify it. Now lets see, HW98 or HW97, decisions, decisions.........

Hope everyone is having a fun holiday and is staying safe.

Nooo.... not that kind of a happy ending.
So I had originally threw a cheapie scope on my Firewalker bottle conversion Notos and was happy with it. I then ordered a Carm magazine and went to pop it in and... mounts too low. With all the airgun related crap laying around here, I did not have a set of high 30mm pic rings. Go figure.

So I thought I'd throw on a red dot. This dot is from AT3, inexpensive, but I like them. Not a Holosun, but not bad! A recent Leishy shooting session with a buddy was probably my fist experience with a red dot on a carbine airgun. For whatever reason, I'd always discounted them. I liked it... so gave this a go and sighted in. Originally, my plan for this gun was 30 yards and under chipmunk removal, but I was successfully banging targets out to the 60 yard mark from a rest. Practical accuracy at 30 yards was just as good as with a scope. Might leave it, or may invest in a better red dot. Really like the chevrons so may look for one of those.

Hope all has a Merry Christmas

I am newbie to pcp airguns. I think i want a BRK ghost. I cannot find any reviews that compare accuracy and velocity between the long and short barrel. Any info?

Trying to decide which one i should get. I will hunt with it and plink just for fun. Squirrel, coon, coyote? 25 cal is what i am leaning toward.

Also, i own nothing, so should i get a tank to fill with, or just a compressor? I like quality stuff. Is the Daystate 4500 overkill?

Ok, all you Hw 95 / R9 gurus ,let’s talk..
I haven’t had one in my possession to play with in 15 years .. That being said our friend Lewis told me I needed to play with one. Get to know it.

We discussed the deal and he promised me not to send me a 2x4 ….

what I did get was a new HW 95 K . The bulbous muzzle break .

first thing I did was remove that useless pineapple and shroud it with a matching the breech block width shroud with some internal love.
My question is what is one to expect from a .177 factory gun after and tin of pellets. It came with the typical 34 coil .120 x800 or so .. I don’t recall exact BUT IT WAS FACTORY BRAND NEW ..
It had spring buzz and twang bad and no matter how many tins you put through it it would not get better , guide was loose and no tophat at all
steel washer and liner.
it wasn’t shooting slow but was butter easy to cocking actually falling into the latch but over sprung none the less.
The Hw 95 is a tad longer stroke than the Hw 80 it’s compared to .. it’s as far from it as can be. Ones a short stroked big tube gun and the other is a long stroked small tube gun
Now it’s no secret that 25.mm x 100 mm is the most used platform . Every GAMO,crossman, China copy all share that platform. why ? it’s easy to get power with the platform and power sells…

The 26 mm x95 as it’s called is a bit more tricky. It’s only one mm bigger but that is worlds in air rifles..

I also have two Hw 80 I just tuned in .177 and .22.. wow they are user friendly if you do your homework..
short spring and minimal pre load as well as thinner wire with port work and piston work ,new seals and guides.

Thats another post

Anyways I was not keeping that stock set up , I put a 30 gram top hat on the factory spring to test the velocity gain and reaction of the spring. It gained a bit ,but at the cost of piston bounce .. ( I wasn’t planing on keeping it) .. yuk. BUZZZ. THHWAANG.
So my first test was with a tad bigger wire and smaller diameter I’d to fit the guide snug after .010 was removed. .125 x785
x 34 which is a tad smaller in wire than the famed Hornet spring which is .128 wire .. ANDalmost IDENTICAL TO THE HIGHLY TOUTED E 3650 spring EdCanoles praises..

It was a bit of preload but nothing I could not force down with out a compressor and twist the end on
The shot cycle was so over sprung that it was hard to shoot. Velocity was higher than hell

945 with H&N ftt 8.6 and 835 with Crossman 10.5 , this was not dieseling as a tin of pellets went through it. I HATED the gun.
Wondered how anyone would think this is good

This was odd to me as Vortek,ARH AND MOST USE A 34 coil .128 wire, and this was not pleasant. Now I can cock a air rifle but ,$@it wasn’t a walk in the park daily plinker at this point.
upon refiguring I did some re structuring .. I cut the spring down to 30 coils and added .400 in delrin spacers to get my stack . Left the factory piston seal in as well as no port work.

It’s night and day difference in every area, it’s very easy and liner to cock. it’s dead blow quiet and blasting 8.4 at 900 fps
recoil is minimum and this gun now can play.. like the “Brody”.

I have to get used to fingering these tiny sombitches.. I’ll blue the shroud to match and maybe machine the breech to match the chamber as well as custom stock now I like what I got..

oh yeah.. that HW80… another post in time.

I am new to pcp rifles.Old to shooting.I have two 22 cal Marauders[only needed one].One is 2019 syn with crosman barrel the other a 2022 wood with LW barrel both unregulated.The marauder has many reasons for poi shift.I will discuss one that I have made better and one that I am working on.If my info is old news remember I am old toK taking off shroud and shooting both rifles at at spot [one at a time] at around 30 yds-no wind-on bench.Pretty much one hole group.Put shroud on snug and shoot again at same target.Yea diff poi.Now adjust shroud by shimming.Both of mine shot lower[2 inch to 3 inch] with shroud on.For test purposes I simply put layers of tape on the bottom of the barrel band until it shot into same hole as when the shroud was off and the group was first made.If conditions stay about the same[TEMP] POI is way more consistent day to day then before.Now I am working on temp change effects on POI. Rifles are inside[72] shooting from inside garage[40] Both rifles seem to change poi since it has got colder outside.When I figure something out I will post again.Mabe some of you more seasoned pcp men can enlighten me before I go through several thousand rds more.Oh yea that is the fun of it!
