I just had to see what the fuss was all about , so I placed an order from Utah Air for a Veteran Standard. It didn't take long to show up , packed well, even had fragile stickers on the box. I ran a few patches down the barrel and off to gather some data. It was shooting 18g pellets at 920 and giving me standard deviation as low as 1.8 fps and in the 2s. The Maverick was my first regulated pcp and I've never had such low numbers. And the Vets accuracy is simply outstanding. So for investment purposes I was excited to try out compact and couldn't pass up the sale price. So I've had a chance to try out the Shorty .177 for a couple days. It showed up shooting 10.9g FX pellets right around 900 fps, Tony's shot string, and my crossman 10.4 gr around 880 fps. The weight or lack of is nice and accuracy is just like larger vet Standard . Really good. I'm really satisfied with the Vets and having fun , just taking my time with the single shot tray. So now I have 2 sets of Orings , probes ect that they came with and 2 nice magazines in .177 and .22. Anyways, I checked the tune and it was adjusted a little beyond the knee , so backed it off 1/2 turn and my shot count went way up and it sounded better and lost only a little velocity. I was a little worried from reading of Veteran shorts in .177 having large SDs because of ports being too large and possibly over powered for normal weight 177 pellets. But mine is doing great in that area. Absolutely having fun and ready for some pests to get out of line. My cat is out doing so far this year. With scope and rings it under 8lbs. A couple of shot strings shooting just under 18 fpe. Peace.

Feel like it speaks for itself.

When the shipping update emails say that the gun, moderator, rings, and scope have all happened to arrive on the same day...that means it's time to leave work early.

Been wanting one for awhile. Daystate Hunstman Revere in .22 with Element Helix 4-16x44 FFP

I had asked my closest Daystate dealer in the next state over to let me know when he got one in that had a particularly nice stock. Got the call a few days ago. He sent pics and I sent money.

Got the scope on and leveled (Element does not make this easy with their not-so-flat turret caps), screwed on the mod, loaded the mag and away we went. Gave a rough zero and then cycled a few mags with just plinking on steel to lead the barrel a bit. Then ran a few hole-on-hole groups at 20 and 30, and one 6-shot ragged hole at 40yds with a slight breeze. Without any particular effort on my end. Pic below is the last group at 40.

Quite impressed to say the least. After dealing with FX guns for awhile (which I still love) it's very refreshing to just be able to take a gun and shoot it and have the pellets land exactly where they are supposed to land, without all the fussing around with tunes, and knobs, and wheels, and chronys, and having a set of hex keys sitting on the bench next to you at all times. I like this gun. Out of the box, 890fps with Hades, right at 28fpe which is my sweet spot for pesting, hole-on-hole, and I didn't have to do a damn thing to achieve that. It's a winner in my book.

Here's the skinny. I have a classified ad posted wtb, Optisan CP 3-12×32. Got a text offering one for $200. Shipped. The member sent me a picture of said scope, requesting my shipping info to get it. Two requests for a phone call got me nothing other than him texting to agree to the call. Google Images brought up a picture of same. A request for a couple more pics went nowhere. Not sure about putting his username out for all to see. What do you think? Deal or no deal? Bill and Addi

I have a used 400 and it's leaking. I've had it apart several times and changed all the orings, and it just keeps on leaking.
So far I've put all new orings in it, even internal reg orings and it still leaks.
* it leaked down the barrel, so I replaced all the firing valve orings, and the seat oring
* it leaked out the reg vent, so I replaced all the oring internal and external on the reg
* it leaked at the gauge threads, so I replaced the seal under the gauge
* for good measure I replaced all the orings on the fill adapter

Now, I can't really tell where it's leaking, but it's leaking quite a bit.
How do you guys find leaks, I had to slather the whole action with leak detect solution so as to keep moisture out of the system, but I'm almost at my wits end.
Please give me an idea of how to find leaks with liquid solution. I've used it on the seams at the bottle etc, but don't want to douse the whole action with it, unless someone says it wont' hurt anything.
Ordering from FX is a problem too, if I don't get it right the first time, I have to wait nearly a month to get an order shipped again, whew! So, I just ordered everything I could possibly think of the last time and am still waiting on my order to arrive two weeks later.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Okay maybe not ready for serving yet haha. Had a great day of slaying dragons yesterday, this is about a 3rd of the ones I got yesterday the rest were under 3lbs and couldn't really fit them on top of the lid haha.

I've had so many of these over the years.
Finally able to afford putting a little $/stuff on/into it and what not.
Figured is start with what spare parts I had laying around.
I like this ALOT more now
More weight up front*my preference on a multipump*
Can now go prone of need be.
Folded up bipod gives me more "shelf" up front for my big hands/for me more stability off-hand.
I can set the slinger down and not worry about it.
Even the lady was eyeballing it bc she shot it off of bags and liked it
..
So!
Uhhh....
Barrel clamp with picatinny for bipod
Barska 3-9×32 with 30/30 reticle
Usually slinging 10-13gr for hunting/pesting
Then 5.4-10gr for paper pinching.

Was hoping to get some info on the Manufacturers/Brands , the warranty and if you can easily get a replacement part from said party lol.

This is something that would make a huge difference in my decision to purchase anything beyond the 1000.00 price range since they are all on the rise in pricing as of the last couple of years. A few examples of what I am hoping for are as follows .

BroCock
Warranty = Is it transferable if you are not the original purchaser with proof of purchase . In other words you bought used or traded for it.
Parts availability = Can you easily purchase parts for it or do you have to send it in to have them repair it as not to void the warranty if you actually have one. Also can you change the barrel length shorter or longer.

and so on lol you get the picture.

Thank you for your responses and information . I feel there are alot of us out there that would appreciate/benefit from your shared experiences/knowledge.

I purchased a used Crown Mk2 .30 cal, 600 mm barrel, that came with no baffles or anything in the moderator.
I don't know the original owner to find out if this was an intentional mod, or an oversight.
Should I restore it, replace it, forget about it?
Thanks.

Shooting Absolutely Awesome...!!!!!!! I've had my new MK3 for about a month now and I have done a few tweaks to it, I just got a new Stud magazine for it and I was testing out the new mag this morning on my 100 yard range and this thing is shooting the JSB MK 2's Awesome.....I honestly believe the Stud magazine eliminates a lot of the fliers as I had no fliers this morning shooting. With this MK3 shooting as good as it is, I don't want to change anything on it, I'm thinking about buying a new Panthera to shoot slugs with and use the MK3 for pellets....LOL I know I said in another post that I wasn't going to post anymore pics of groups but this is the type of groups I'm getting at 100 yards with this MK3.....FX haters can hate...but, these rifles just flat azz shoot....

i Have a 25 cal 700 mm Fx Panthera that is the best shooter I have. It is a pleasure to shoot in the Nrl22 matches allowing a rookie like myself (only 6 cof matches) to score around 400. I have room to improve and I know this platform will do it. I am currently waiting for my 2nd Panthera but this one is in 22 cal with 700 mm liner which is supposed to arrive today. If anybody is on the fence about this platform , don’t be. If tuned right it will be the most accurate gun shooting Slugs then any other with unrivaled power straight out of box. i will keep y’all posted on the progress of the new one. Happy shooting to all

Does anyone here not know what cphp means in the air gun world? Well the folks at crosman dont.., really..

So i wanted to send a inquiry so i go to contact and fill out my lifes history and get to them drop down box thingd .

So the product one thats a mile long but funny nothing for ammo or ammo products ( should of been my first clue).

So i check air rifle the closest thing to pellets i see and move on to my inquiry.

So i het the reply back that was in breif " we dont have any product called cphp'.

I guess its my bad for not spelling it all the way out , but come on man.. how dont you know in the business .

Maybe im wrong but just thought it funny .. then maybe dealing with a cubicle slave in India not a knowledgeable usa employee?

This has to be the most boring stock ever. I checked into hydro but that costs more that the gun is worth. Sand it down and stain it, still boring with the arrow straight grain, paint, bed liner? what do you guys think.

This morning dawned beautiful and cool in Indiana. At 6:30, the sun was just breaking through the trees, no wind, perfectly quiet except for the noise of the bulldozer preparing the site for the new casino being built about a mile to the southeast. The neighbors hadn't start stirring yet, and I needed to leave for work in about an hour, so to get my mind adjusted for the day and not disturb any one, I grabbed the Air Arms S510 .177 from the vault and proceeded to the bench.

This rifle was #3 for me and was acquired new from Straight Shooters more than two decades ago. First came a Beeman R1, then an Air Arms S410 in .22 (still in the vault and as dependable and accurate as the day it was acquired), then this rifle. A few years ago, I had Scott Schneider at Motorhead Airgun Tuning Services completely resealed it and installed a Huma regulator. Along the way I upgraded it to the new style magazine indexing post (vastly improved over the original) and replaced the proprietary AA fill adapter with a foster fitting. I used it so much that the soft poplar stock became on dinged up and rather than replace it, I sanding it down and painted it camo - giving it new life - ugly but very efficient.

With the Air Arms 10.3 gr pellet and no wind conditions, I proceed to shoot all of the spinners on the course from 20 yards to 86, with not a single miss. The Hawke Sidewinder 6-24x56 FFP scope image was very crisp in the morning sun and the perfectly adjusted trigger broke like glass. With Donny FL Sumo moderator working perfectly, and the relatively low power of the .177 pellet hitting the heavy steel swinging plate and spinners out at 70 yards and beyond, all one could hear was the faint but clear "ding" of the the pellet hitting steel. But once I got inside of 50 yards, this rifle came into its own, spinning the spinners with authority.

I suspect that like many of you, this old rifle doesn't get exercised nearly enough with many much more powerful and glitzy rifles in the vault. However, it is as simple, accurate, and dependable as any rifle one could own. It has provided many hundreds of hours of shooting pleasure while eliminating about every form of pest available to a back yard over the years. One couldn't ask any more of a rifle than that.

I have a few items for sale. 1, brand new steel trap by champion traps.

I was thinking about this on my ride in to work this morning. What rules have you made for yourself that you actually follow when it comes to airgunning? Or what rules have you made that you wish you have followed.

There's no secret I buy , sell, try new air rifles all the time.... with that comes buying new ammo to test in each.

Up until recently I would sell off ammo I shot from a rifle once the rifle went.

My newest rule I have been following for the last 2 months has been no SELLING any ammo. I found myself selling off stock piles of ammo taking hits on them, now I just hold onto the ammo. Amassing it so now it is never an issue of getting any when something new arrives.

We have a very reactive German Shepherd named Amos(it's a characters name in The Expanse book & tv series and my screenname). We've done a lot of work to make him less so but one stumbling block remains. I can't pick up an airgun without Amos going crazy. I think it goes back to the first time I pulled out a bb gun and shot a chipmunk that dropped right at his feet. I pick up a gun and he just starts barking and running around losing his mind. He's smart but somehow guns short circuit his brain and he can't control himself.
Anyway I got the Notos and the story remain unchanged. My wife, to her credit, said it's time to desensitize him. So she had me grab the gun and just keep it with me all day. He would go crazy whining and barking if I shouldered the gun, which my wife had me do and just wait him out. Luckily our neighbors are pretty far off but I had to get ear plugs! Anyway we finally got him to calm down but somewhere in the process my wife said let me hold it.
Next thing you know she's asking how to cock it, how to take the safety off, and then finally she asks if I put the red dot on something will I hit it? I said yes if you are aiming at something in zeroed range. Like that can hanging on the garden fence? Again I said yes and the next thing I hear is the can being hit!
She's a freaking natural and actually had fun! I knew I should've bought a second one!
I'm hoping she'll get her hunting license and go squirrel hunting with me.
At least I have a new target shooting partner and now a dog that's finally calming down around guns! Maybe he'll get to a point where he can come hunting with me, I hope so because he sees and hears way better than me and would be a good spotter.
Either way it's a win! Never thought my wife would want to shoot! And I definitely thought I'd never have a calm dog...that's still a work in progress.

Selling or trading four brand new tins and a near full tin missing 16 pellets.

Picture of tins on a scale to show weights. Dividing the difference in weight by 2.2grams gives me 15.5 pellets of a difference.

I'm looking to upgrade my RAW 1000 HM 1000x to shoot 50 yards (31.2gr slugs). I have reached a limit on its power (approximately 700 fps) with hammer and regulator maxed out at 225 bar. Updated mods (hammer, springs, regulator,plenum possibly, needle valve,etc.)
Part or tuner recommendedations are appreciated.

This is the explosive thread here you post way over power airguns with the pests they blew up and I guess I'll go first. Fx maverick 25cal nsa 38.5 at 85fpe. Chipmunk at 60yds

I'm thinking I need/want a dedicated PCP slug air gun not sure which one to get. I don't think a I can really run or want to run slugs through what I already have (Sniper HP .22, FX Impact M3/compact .25, Wolverine HP .25, Concept HP .177, HW 110 .177). Caliber wise I'm thinking .25 and its intended use would be: field/varmint 75%, target 25%. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I may be on the "One In-One Out" phase, lol.

SOLD I‘m selling my Taipan Veteran Compact in .25 cal. The rifle has a few light pressure marks on the stock but otherwise looks new. It will come with a Donny FL moderator adapter that fits 1/2 inch threads, 3D printed cheek riser, single mag holder, two magazine, fill probe and factory seal kit. I am also including the following ammo since this is my only .25 cal - 3 full tins of FX 25.4 grain and one tin that’s 90% full. One full tin of JSB Hades and another tin that’s 95% full. One tin of Polymags that has around 100 pellets left. I‘m asking $950.00 and buyer to pay half of the shipping charge. I use Pirate Ship and rates are very reasonable. Payment by PayPal F&F or UPS money order. Check my feedback, 27 transactions all positive so deal with confidence. Thanks for looking.

Background on this unit: purchased in 2018 and used for 2-3 hrs filling a small bottle. I got back into the sport this year and the YH was working fine until it lost pressure during a long fill on a 6.8L bottle. The unit runs fine and it isn't making any noises that would lead me to believe it's a catastrophic failure. I just don't have time to mess with it and replaced it with a GX CS4 which I think is more suited longterm to fill my large bottles. Rather than donate it to Goodwill I thought someone here might want it. It can either be picked up (I'm in N. Calif.) or if someone wants to send me a Yong Heng box with a prepaid return label I will ship it back to you using either UPS or USPS. PM me if you're interested.
