I am considering getting an air pistol so I am not yet even yet a newby.

For use indoors or in my back yard, CO2 seems the best choice. For use at my gun club with 25 and 50 yard target berms, a PCP style pistol seems to be correct.

My question: Can I use a PCP pistol for short range indoor shooting if I simply fill it up to a lower pressure?

It is reasonable to assume that the limiting factor for pellet speeds in air guns is the speed of sound in the barrel. If you just let compressed air expand behind the pellet, then the pellet would only accelerate until its speed matches the speed of the expanding air, and the speed of the expanding air can't be faster than the speed of sound.
But, if you impart velocity onto the expanding air itself, then this might be able to compensate for this effect.
A bit like what they are doing in this video:

So, creating a nozzle behind the pellet might actually make it go faster, even if it would be a bit of a choke point. This could actually be quite easy to do on most air guns, by incorporating a choke into the probe (to create a nozzle with the barrel walls), assuming much less air resistance all the way through the port, valve and to the air tank (i.e. higher cross-sectional area).

like this:



(the second choke version is intended to be like the ports on some springers, which have stepped changes in diameter to induce eddies and reduce air resistance)

I have a 1/2" UNF .22/.177 Wylie Kanz moderator made by the forum member @Bullysyclone for me custom. He is known for making very high end products and it is a fully carbon fiber made moderator with aluminum end caps. Here is a thread with more info on them and a review. They are known for being extrwmely quiet. I am only selling it as I have moved on to .25cal and above for all of my guns. These are sold for $180 and mine is like brand new condition, it was never used once. I can sell it for $160 shipped or best offer. SOLD






I also have a 1/2" UNF 0db moderator as well, for .22/.177 these are made by Daystate's sister company. They are also known to be very good. This is the compact version and looks great.

1000 shipped F/X Dreamline .22 700mm slug barrel and shoots pellets awesome as well.
It is in excellent condition and shoots everything i put through it very well. I dont have any heavy slugs but it stacks 17.5 nsa.2175 slugs, right in line with jsb 18.1. It is very consistent with zero leaks or creep. Ships in FX case. Scope, moderator and bipod not included but can be discussed. Doing 32fpe at 102 bar on the reg so plenty more to go up or down in power.

These don't come up too often anymore. Your chance to get a mk1 impact before the smooth twist x liners came out. This gun has only had at most 500 pellets through in between me and the original owner. Im the second owner, and only put between 100 and 200 shots through it myself. After receiving it, I ordered a few upgrade parts for it but never installed them. I completely re-sealed the gun and polished some of the internals to get the shot string to tighten up. After doing that, I sighted it in with a few more pellets and basically put it back in the case where it stayed for the past two years. The gun shoots flawlessly and is in great condition. There is the slightest little imperfection of the DLC coating on the barrel but you cannot even feel it, it is only superficial, and there is a couple little scuffs on the bottle where a bipod rested from the previous owner. It comes with one of Ernest Rowes' custom cocking levers and the OEM one, the upgrade parts I never installed, a complete replacement set of seals and gaskets, some unopened scope stickers from utah airguns, an unopened can of jsb exact king diabolo's, and everything else seen in the photos. I'm asking $900 obo plus shipping, which we can split. CONUS. I accept Paypal F&F or you cover the fees. Feel free to pm me or text/call me at my cell (317)315-9528 with questions. Thanks for looking.

Hello everyone,

Here is how you turn a cold, wet and windy day into a Hoot to Shoot. My good friend and neighbor Mr. D ( Delbert ) invited me over to his farm to do a bit of target shooting. I had just completed the new Alpha Bullet~Pellet-Trap ( I will do a separate thread on this later ) so I took it with me and spent half a day doing some test shooting. Set the Trap out at a measured 50-Yards and shot two clips (22LR) and only removed some paint at the impact area. Talk about being spoiled, I was chauffeured via the golf cart, out to the Trap for inspections. Got back home and set the Trap out at 10-Meters and shot the heck out of it with my .22 cal Airacuda Max using both 18.1gr at three of the 10-Rings and some 25.4gr. I shot 25-shots of the 25.4gr at the last 10-Ring and pretty much stack all 25 shots. Looking on the inside none of the pellets even removed any of the paint at the impact areas. Turned out to be a really great day and thank you Delbert.

Just wondering if any of you air using air guns more during the quarantine? With the scarcity/cost of ammo, social distancing, ranges being closed and people stuck at home, this seems like the perfect time for air guns.

I wasn't sure how to find a mod here straight out, so any help from them is appreciated along with any of you members.

I haven't been so active in the forums themselves, mostly the PMs about the collection I posted about some time ago.

Been selling some things on American Classifieds, but would rather sell here to you all, as a lot of you that contacted me were very helpful. Also, running into many uh, odd characters texting me or emailing was less than desireable. Understandably, a lot of people that contacted me were highly suspicious of scammers. I could see why, as I saw a few myself, but I also thought that might be quelled a little bit more here, as you seem to watch each other's backs. Even sending multiple requested pictures, it was hard to convince people that I wasn't scamming them, and although it's understandable, it's a little exhausting.

I have quite a few to sell as well, still. I've only sold a few, so another question would be, how many posts are considered too many here? I don't want to spam the heck out of the classifieds with every individual item. Is there a way to list them all in one post or does it have to be one at a time? If so, how many would you all say is reasonable? I don't want to be disrespectful or rude. Please give me any heads up needed.

I have the required amount of messages to post there, but as I said, I haven't been as active in the forum. I've been swamped with trying to work and take care of the things necessary since my dad's passing. If that is a problem with me advertising here, I would like to know that as well.

Thanks all, in advance.

like new Nordic wolf GRS stock for the FX Crown. $425 shipped. PayPal. no trades.

Brand new from FX, The King is here. Incredibly efficient, extremely powerful, and topped off with a GRS stock, the King is a staple in the high end airgun category. Let us know what questions you have!

So far we have tested shot counts - shooting 18gr out of the 500mm .22 cal, got 150 shots before reaching the reg. So far we are very impressed with this platform and excited to see what all it can do.

SOLD

I simply don’t have time to tinker. Who is known to tune the FX impact X ? I want to send it and get a tuned

Do any of you ever worry that with the increase in power and caliber that airguns will be more on the radar to be regulated? I know how liberals operate and even though I've not heard of a single case of problems, the could, and in some States, already are limited as to who can buy what.
Just curious as to where you all see this going. I just saw an ad for the new FX King and the power levels are way up there.

Dear mates, I filled up my Dreamlite .22 day before and the regulator pr was around 135bar. I DID NOT fire it that time.
After 20 hrs, I realized that the regulator pressure itself has moved up to 140 bar.
I fired the first shot and the pressure went down to 120 bar. Till other four consecutive shots it remained there. I left gun under observation.
After one hour, I realized regulator pressure moved upto 135 bar. Then very slowly to 140 bar in other 12 hours.
Have seen 910 Airgun video several times and earlier gone through this pain of adjusting regulator by degassing the rifle (as internal plenum installed).
There is .....
1. External AMP adjuster screw.
2. Piston travel adjuster (brass one with two small o-rings) whose travel controlled by a steel ball and the ball's movement further controlled by allen screw.

I received the gun few days back to rectify the similar creep and the person assured of having changed all O Rings and set regulator pressure between 130 - 135 bar. This has become a PAIN to repeatedly open the rifle and work on regulator.

I will be very greatful if someone can guide what to do.... which screw to tighten or loosen.
Don't want to courier the gun again and
again. Please help.

Shot this squirrel this afternoon. .22 hatsan 95 vortex, 17.75gr vortex pellets, about 15 yards resting on sliding door frame. Head shot, dropped stone dead. Cleaned and in fridge. It will be cooked up this weekend with the other few that are in the freezer.
