New R10 SE from AOA came last night not too long before dark, while it was double boxed the gun was fairly loose in package and the lock/accessories was sliding around loose in box luckily nothing was dinged up..
My question is why is it when you buy a 1200.00 air rifle they send you a fill probe that cant be used w/o a adapter, every mid level or cheap air rifle Ive bought you could use probe right out of the box.. you would think spending that much money they would give you a probe you could fill gun up with without ordering parts.. Even though I only spent 700.00 on gun its still a almost 1200 gun.
Love the looks of the gun and feel other then length of pull is too long, measured 14.5 in and I need around 13.50-13.75 to be comfortable. Has anyone put a after market butt pad on theirs to shorten length of pull and if so where did you get it, been looking and cant find anything but adjustable ones.
Ask AOA to try to pick out a gun with decent wood and they did find a pretty nice one. Cant wait to get new probe and adapters for present one so I can shoot gun. Only took pic of one side of gun as other side is pretty plain.

I had a thought this morning. Does anyone shoot bullets in your airgun?

Still in the early stages of my serious interest in airguns, I now have springers, co2, ssp and multipump guns. If something breaks, I imagine with the help of folks on AGN I can learn what parts I need to repair.

I am not at all handy but I enjoy trying to learn how to do simple maintenance. But my screwdrivers and allen wrenches, which worked fine for my firearms, never seem to fit just right. For supplies I basically have Pellgunoil and Ballistol.

In the Army we always had a basic parts list and it didn't matter what kind of unit it was, they included what parts, tools, oils, lubricants and other supplies were likely to be needed to perform preventive maintenance, and commonly needed repairs for the lower levels of maintenance.

I have looked on line and did not find anything like that for airguns. It would be great to hear the comments on this from those who are more skilled and knowledgeable than me (which would include just about everyone). What tools, parts and supplies do you have for basic level maintenance?

Hello AGN,

Looking to sell some pellets that I do not use. 4 seals tins of AA 16 gr, 2 seals tins of JSB Hades, 1 full tin of JSB Hades (no tape but never used, how they came from AOA) and two 3/4 full tins of AA and Hades pellets. Also throwing in partial box of FX Hybrids. My asking price is $135 via PayPal shipped USPS 2-3 day.

Hello again folks been doing some tuning with my .177 pp700sa. I ordered huma reg and just rec'd. I want to be able to shoot slugs and I think I'm almost there but almost but maybe not. Ok so I put the reg in and I put it at 145lbs. The hammer spring screw used to be flush and now I screwed in 3/4 of the screw is covered or down, there is just enough to barely turn with wrench. SO I filled the tank right at a line before it turns red 20bar. My first shot is only 469fps then slowly by 10 shots im at 500fps. The gauge has hardly moved. Velocity keeps going up, by 15bar im at 600fps and climbing and this time at 25 shots. Around 32 shots im hitting 700fps and it hovers there until 40 shots then it starts to go down finally and I stop at 45 shots and at 650fps. At this point im at 10bar. Im shooting JSB match beast at 16.20gr.

How do I get more of a straight line with the higher velocity rather than a hill of starting very low then going up to the very high.

When you put the reg at a certain value is this where I should fill the tank to to get consistent shots? I have no clue. I hope someone can help? Should I lessen the tension of the hammer spring or should I increase the reg?

I hear a lot of people in the air gun world make statements about shooting harder slugs wearing barrels out rapidy. I even see comments about pellets having a bit of antimony worry about wearing barrels. I have a decent collection of century old powder Burning single shot rifles from before the turn of the century to about 1920 that have countless thousands of rounds with harder bullets and the guns still retain gilt edge accuracy. The only wear you often see on these is from the powder heat in the throat forward of the end of the case. The metalurgy of these barrels is not what we have today I would think they would be on par with modern air gun barrels, but that's just a guess.

Has anybody done a real test and measurement to see if the statements about barrel wear in air rifles and harder bullets are true?
I had a .50 Texan and I put about 3000 rounds of linotype bullets(22bhn) down the tube And I could not see any sign wear with my gunsmiths Hawkeye bore scope,nor an accuracy fall off.

im not trying to start an argument, just looking for data .

I have a super nice commander for trade. Scope can be included. Comes with 3D printed high capacity mag and standard mag. Looking for .177 m3 or crown or daystate redwolf. Adding cash is no problem if needed. If you get scope I can give data over and all the holdover for dial shooting. Accuracy is a given with brocock.

I am fortunate in having access to an up to 50 yd indoor that accepts airgun owners. I shoot primarily a Vet .25 ,a Royale in .22 and a Crossman 1701P. I have been using a very small zip tie as an empty chamber indicator but worry I could damage the breach o-ring or possibly the transfer port due to the hard irregular nature of the zip tie. Wondering what everyone else is using. Range masters are very versatile.

After receiving my latest rifle...a Beeman Kodiak. 22, I couldn't help but to break out my other two in .25 caliber for a group photo. Far left is the .25 Springer, in the middle is the .22. Far right is the .25 gas ram version. They're all different in the way they feel when fired. But one thing in common is they all are powerful and kick a little. Enjoy!
When these rifles first arrived on the scene in the 80s, they were touted as the most powerful airguns made. The 10 pound, very robust yet beautiful at the same time power house Kodiak ruled the Beeman roost.
English craftsmanship oozes from the deep black bluing. It breaks and closes smoothly with a reassuring click. Very Webley!

Hi Guys,

My HM1000X sold recently so I still have the sporter stock that I modified for sale.

It started life as a grey laminate sporter stock, and like with so many things I found things that
I felt I could improve upon.

First was the trigger guard, as it comes from RAW I would get a sore spot on my trigger finger
from the square edge that it comes with.

So after some careful measurements and double checking those measurements I found I could
replicate the open trigger guard of an LRT stock which I love.

After some careful cutting and sanding I got exactly the result I wanted.

So the next step was getting rid of the common Gray Laminate because the pattern was SO strong on this particular stock, that
I nicknamed it the Psychedelic Zebra.

To cut the story down I will say after some experimentation I got the color Walnut that I wanted and then did multiple coats of
Formbys Tongue Oil to get the desired finish.

I am looking for $450 for the stock.

Let me know if you have any questions,
Terry Mc

Greetings AGN,
New to the group and my first post. I'm new to PCP but not new with shooting airguns so I do have a few questions on fine tuning my new Avenge X. Went with the Classic in .22, mounted a Talos BTR Gen 2 ,have a Donny FL RYU mounted as well and shooting JSB Heavy Diabolo 18.13gr. So out of the box stock does anyone know what the FPS is from factory? I did find one video from Nate at Airgun Channel doing a review that indicated his was around 950fps, just curious if others have found this to be true? It also sounds like the best accuracy and performance for this platform might be around 890fps, wondering if this is true?

I've got this one dialed in pretty good at 45yds but the frustrating part is that my POI seems to move on me from time to time, about 1-2" on windage. I reluctantly made corrections only to find 10 shots later it needs to go back to where it was. I've checked my scope and mount and yes they are tight. I'm curious if this could be caused by a high out of the box setting and maybe the hammer needs to be dialed down a bit. If so can this be done realistically without a chrono?

My regulator seems to hang out around 2000psi, does this sound about right? So far I'm just thru my first can of 500 pellets. Appreciate any help or advice on fine tuning this in.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the Airacuda max shooting slugs for accuracy at 100yds? I'm just wanting to hunt small game out to 100yds and need advice on slug choices and settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Just a hello from S. FL home of the giant reptiles. I have owned a few air guns for the past 10 years or so and enjoy punching paper, plinking spinners, cans and a few pests now and then. Hope everyone hear is having happy holidays and staying health and safe.

What sights do you use on your airguns? What is your favorite?

nla

Daystate Huntsman MK1 in .177 . Works and functions as it should and it is in excellent cosmetic shape. I ran some chrony numbers and she's running an average of 894 FPS with FX 8.4 grain pellets for 15 ft. lbs of energy. Price is $575 plus shipping

Had posted earlier on what I think is a gorgeous Impact I own and so now I've secured what I consider to be Crown nirvana as well...


The same kind person responsible for my Impact also made this Crown possible so THANK YOU!

I've got this one tuned for lower power. JSB 18gr at 22FPE. Havent done a full string, but should get a good number of shots at that level.

Had always loved the look of the shorter Crowns and in particular with the GRS stock so when the opportunity came to get a short Crown, I was fortunate enough to do so. Found the stock here on AGN and fell in love and so grabbed it up. Got the stock today and everything bolted up. Dont want to take it out to shoot today because as you can see in the pic, it's misting rain a little, but did want to snap a pic!

Any one have any idea why the slugs act like that? i couldn't pin point the problem and start loosing faith in my gun! its not fun any more!

every time i shoot, i would have decent groups then an amazing group then hell break loose! i really need help or an explanation! thanks

Hey y'all,

I want to create a "one-stop shop" for go-to PCP mods that people have used to reliably increase the performance of their PCP's. I'd like the focus to be budget PCP's and modifications that don't necessarily rely on aftermarket support. I have spent an absurd amount of time searching the forums and thought I'd make it easier for other "tinker"-minded airgunners.

So far I have:

1. Polish the barrel
1a. Recrown if necessary
2. Port/Radius TP and other air flow channels
3. Polish contact surfaces (hammer, bolt/side lever, etc.)
4. SSG/SSS/TSS (reduce/eliminate hammer bounce)
5. Add a regulator

What else can we add to this list?

Well I finally got my hands on this massive scope and wanted to share my experiences. Please feel free to share your experiences as well if you have had a scope from this company or have this exact one.

Hi Folks,

Just uploaded another rabbit culling video. Lots of day and night shooting with my Pard DS35, and a sneak peak at a S510 .25cal I’m going to be using for culling in future videos.

Hope you enjoy…

Need some input on the value of a 1984 vintage R1 Beeman .177 springer left handed in very good condition sans it has not been shot in 1 year. Thanks DaMitch
