Any buy it for life air rifles?

Hello My name is Zachary, and I am a new member from Oklahoma. This seems like a nice website and forum just getting into air guns for myself. Bought an old Diana 34 for my dad up in Alaska years ago after moving down here I decided that the cottontail population was too tempting so here I am.

What are some examples of air guns that were made especifically for slugs?

I acquired a Reximex Ixia/Throne sub 12 (I'm in UK) as a project so as I have modded Turkish guns before to very good effect I made it an SSG plugged the plenum volume and turned the reg down to 80bar and added a .177 barrel as it was previously .22, now this setup is very accurate, but the fps is not at all consistent with various weights of pellets.

So re stripped and when through the trigger sears as there was a little too much tension on the hammer from the sear, so that sorted I then had a look at the reg and decided that the transfer port of the reg was very small so bored it out a little more and the sealing face was IMO a bad design and not good for sealing so re machined that and put it back together, but the fps is still not consistent and will vary by over 20 fps from one shot to another, so I am at a bit of a loss, although I may just buy a Lane bottle reg and see if that helps but the STD reg has to stay due to the design so it either run it as a second reg with the first taking the bottle pressure down to about 90-100 bar and have the STD reg handle the jump to 80bar or just open the STD reg up so it's just passing through but I maybe barking up the wrong tree completely, so any input would be appreciated.

Hello all! We had to go to Bordeaux today for a hospital appointment, something that usually fills me with dread! But this time, I had a repaired gun to return to a gun shop down that way.

An excuse to check out the stockroom full of unwanted wrecks!

First I found a Diana 56 that needs repair, I said I’d do that as they are easy to work on. Then I spotted a pumper!

I thought it was a Benjamin a392 as I didn’t have my reading glasses, and it looked like brand new so it can’t be an old one.
Then I got it home………

Please can you take a look at this video and give me a rough idea of age? We never saw many over here, but this does appear to be an 80’s gun in brand new condition Any help most welcome

Pump Up The Jam! With the Sheridan Blue Streak. Is this an 80's sleeper? please help

I have an Airacuda Max in .22 and an Umarex Gauntlet SL .30. I would like a .25 cal bullpup style rifle. I told myself I would save up for an M3 or M4 but I am just not sure I want to spend that much. The Zelos/Snowpeak looks great but I really wish it had a little higher shot count between fills. Is there something great in between the cost of these two rifles?

Hello! Are there affordable (<500$ for example) .22 air guns that were made specifically for slugs?

No other quip raises my hackles quite as much as, "Buy once, cry once".

I just counted 9 instances of a n00b buying an M4 as a first air gun and they are completely lost in the tune and setup.

What good does it do to push n00bs to high end guns?

Hi gang.
I spoke with Shane at AoA, and he said that nothing I said, scared him. He said to pull the stock and have a look for any damage. He asked what I had to work with for lubes, and he told me to lube it if it's dry.

That gave me the green light to contact Mycapt65, (Ron), for some guidance. He asked for pics.
Pic 1 spring at the trigger end!


That looked good.


Then he said to lightly lube the roof over the spring.
Using the tool, Ron suggested I checked the roof and the entire spring cavity wall. It was dry. So I gave it a thin lube with said tool.



Ron also said to grease the slot edges, then I gave it a test, and the friction/resistance is gone.
Let's shoot.
Thanks, Ron, and all who contributed.

I'm trying a variety of pellets and tweaking tunes - is there any ground to be gained in the winter season on the indoor range is 20y long and I'm ultimately going to be shooting at 25 and 50 outdoors?

I'm thinking I can at least eliminate some definite 'no' combinations and later I can test the better performers at full distance.

Pristine condition .177 Diana 48 side-lever spring-piston rifle with match-style Morgan adjustable butt-pad and alloy muzzle weight. Manufactured in 08/95, it is shooting up to manufacturers spec of 20 foot-pounds, the trigger-action is very nice, and she LOVES the new 10.5 grain Benjamin pellets (3/4” to 1” five-shot groups at 50 yards).

My testing notes-

Wife put up a bird feeder October 28, the squirrels were swarming it. Told her I was going to Deter them a little. Had to do some quick shopping on line and saw that Tractor Supply had a Umerex pellet gun in the closest store. They actually had several models, one being a gas cartridge nitrogen maybe. Researched a bit and glad I went with the underlever Synergis 22.

Got to say I was impressed. I haven’t shot an air gun in 55 years and that was a Crossman 760. Came with a cheap scope but it was functional.
I can’t really shoot outside but it’s all woods behind the house. So that evening online I was to read about air guns. The big thing was a pcp gun.
The downside was the filling. I ended up buying a Reximex RPA and a cheap hand pump . I swear I bruised a couple ribs pumping that little cylinder. Ok got one of them $200 compressors on Amazon.

Might as well get a rifle now…

I recently purchased an M4 in 177. Ive only shot one mag so far and Im assuming thats it but I had a dev of 100fps. If I cut the two worst shots im at 56fps. Like up and down between 790 and 830ish throughout the whole mag. Is this normal? Thanks!

These came in a package I bought and I have no use for .25 ammo so moving these along. All unopened.

2 tins JTS 29.63
2 tins JTS 33.80
2 tins JSB (300 count) MK2 33.95
1 tin JSB (150 count) MK2 33.95
1 tin JSB (300 count) MK1 33.95
1 tin JSB Knockout slubs MK2 33.49
1 package ZAN 30 grain slugs

120.00 shipped seems fair.

A classic on airguns by G V and G M Cardew! I have a copy and just wondered about a copy to give as a Christmas gift. Looked at ABE Books and couldn't find one. Neither the first or second one was anywhere in their system. That is a lot of used book stores with nothing on a subject. There wasn't a reference to other books on airguns in their system. Are they that rare? No Encyclopedia of #Spring Air Pistols as well. A dearth of books on the subject! I will find a book on some history of warfare as a second choice.
Are there other airgun books to search for? Used or New? T I A. Be Well Brothers, 'dito.

A compressor or a scuba tank?

I can get a new 80 cuft scuba tank for around $300, a used one that's certified for around $200. A fill will cost less than $20 at a scuba shop, and I'd get the cleanest air possible.

80 cuft = 2,265,348 cc.

My gun has a 580 cc tank so I could get about 3,900 fills for about $320 total investment from an 80 cuft bottle. A smaller bottle would be lighter and more portable and still give plenty of fills.

Am I missing something here? It seems like this is an obvious choice to fill PCP gun tanks.

For Sale: JTS Airacuda MAX .25 caliber. I purchased this air rifle from Pyramyd on June 29, 2024. The gun has ~1200 rounds through it. I have made a few changes. 1) Regulator is set at 2000 PSI. 2) Modified stock for direct access to hammer spring. 3) Modified stock for direct access to degassing screw. 4) drill vent hole in shroud. This made it noticeably quieter. The stock also has about 5 coats of boiled linseed oil. See pictures for all of this. Also included is the stock extender. This makes the Length of pull 15.5 inches.

This gun is tuned for 29g and prefers AEA for both 29g and 25g. JTS is a close second. I included a couple of 25 meter shot cards (25g and 29g) and a 51 shot string from my chrony for reference.

Gun comes in original box, owner’s manual and extra magazine (3 total). ***bipod not included**

My feedback is solid by with confidence

As the thread title states, what are some of the best inexpensive scopes and range finder? I do small game with air guns and the cheap range finder I have keeps reading branches in front of it. Let me know what you recommend. Anything around $300 and under.

I have a regulated .22 Revere, but I was searching the Daystate website and could not find some technical information.

For those members that have the .177 unregulated 18 FPE rifle, what pellet brands and associated velocities are providing best results at 25-40 yards?

Also, for those that have both the .177 and .22 caliber rifles, which do you think are more accurate at the above distances.

I regularly shoot in the 30Y Challenge thread, and although my .22 is very accurate, I was curious about user experiences with the .177.

Thanks in advance.

This is a complete review of the Red Panda's little brother: the Karma Airguns SLS. This is the standard model but it also comes in a compact. This is a great top tier PCP rifle in the mid-range price range. The SLS brings alot to the table. See what I mean in this informative review. Thanks for watching! -Nate

New 700cc 300 bar bottle. M18x1.5 threads so will work for most any airgun (FX,Raw,Daystate etc.)

Now, I’m active on the forums, my knowledge is still limited, but my enthusiasm is high, always wish to help lesser informed individuals as per our guidelines. What catches me off guard is how limited MY knowledge is! I keep getting these responses to old posts of mine and I’m like WTF??? What was I thinking? Back then. Now I’m decent at asking relevant questions, but can see I’m smoked with the qualified responses. Hey, as long as information is shared! , so be it!

Ted's Holdover and 68 Whiskey don't appear to have any new videos out in the last 30 days. Is that just normal? I just started watching them again after a hiatus. Be Well Brothers, dito.
