And I think this AirMarksman Backbone will really help stiffen things up. Anyone currently using the backbone?

This is an FX Royale 22 stock that was taken off when gun was purchased. This has really nice grain and color. I decided when i bought the gun to nice to carry around and scratch up so i ordered a synthetic. Been sitting in gun case since never put back on!! You can PM or Call or Text 9892257424

Since we are talking classifieds....

Excluding modular air rifles where parts are sold to mix and match, and upgrade....

I let this topic sit for a while before asking this question so the ad cannot be identified.

I saw an older classic air rifle in the classifieds a while back that is a fairly rare style of that particular rifle model. The base model is still available, and is sold a few times a year in the classifieds.

Looking at the seller's postings it appears that this rarer model was assembled from three different rifles with two being the more common type.

Would you purchase a rifle like that?

Is it fair to sell a rifle like that without full disclosure?

I am just curious on others thoughts.

I bought a used airgun and after a phone call I determiined the guy was a good egg. I paid and he shipped immediately. I got the gun and it looked perfect as advertised. Then I shot it. The gun blew air into my face every time I shot it. I contacted the seller who had NO knowledge of this problem. So evidently the seal failed while in shipment to me. I sent it off for repairs and hoped it would be warranted as the gun was less than a year old. Tony at Talon Tunes would not warrant the work as I was not the original buyer. So I am out at least $28 for original shipping $175 for repairs and unknown return shipping, call it another $28. I contacted the seller who agreed to reimburse me $90 for my added expense. I say he should pay the whole bill. I am not going to say anything further to the seller as he has shown his true colors. If I am right according to any comments I will give out his name. If I am wrong, I won't publish it and you all can go without warning and maybe buy from him. Before you wags write that I should have fixed it myself, I submit that there should have been nothing to fix. How can you not know there is an air leak when it hits you in the face? I am getting gun shy as this is my second time at getting bad product. On the bright side, I may have saved someone else! LOL I am laughing to keep from crying!

So during our recent match I noticed the report of a few competitors rifles had that distinct Pft report that says to me that it’s tuned efficiently. I struggle to get that same tune on my Prophet. I set the reg, run the HS in until it reaches max velocity then back it off until the velocity drops 3% which should be tuning to the knee. But I don’t get that same Pft report. Any suggestions?

Just some of the guns I've owned but let go for one reason or another: 1. A MAC1 tuned RWS Career II 707 long gun, 2. a RWS Excalibre (an FX rebadged sharpshooter) I bought off the Yellow Forum from a famous muscleman from California, 3. a stock BSA Super10 I bought from Straightshooters of ARK. Whenever I reach for my airguns, which, nowadays are not as frequent as I would like, I almost always think if these guns and sigh. Regrets. What are your regrets?

Winter has arrived here in NE Ohio.
Specifically, Mentor.

Too Many guns, I am thinning the herd. I have had this side cocking QB57 for awhile but rarely shot it. It is too loud for suberbia. It is an excellent take down rifle and is in great condition. It comes with both the .177 and .22 barrels, and it takes seconds to swap out. The .177 does not have the front sight, but the QB is best with a red dot or light scope. It comes it its origional case. (Scope not included) $125 shipped. Paypal F&F or you pay fees, or USPO M.O. I have great reps here and on the GTA.

Thank you for looking,

Philip

I am not an MOA guy, so I am letting this go. this comes with Burris rings, a level, everything pictured except for the gun and tripod. I have had it just one day so yes LNIB

starting a thread to document my travel down the dark road of quieting down my edgun leshiy2 250mm 25cal

began with a post about it prior to this one and got a lot of good, useful info from experienced members.
debate really centered on whether to get a whole separate gun to run quiet and just keep this stock; decided to mod this one.

- project started as stock everything, non-repr model
- bought donnyfl ronin 22/25cal w 1/2-UNF end + 250mm shroud kit
- chorno has me running stock at about 850fps with hades 25cal pellets
- this setup sounds exactly like a literal pneumatic nail-gun - too loud for me

spoke with edgunwest team and they recommended a pair of 1.3mm jets & discussed hornet mod kit, ordered both and on the way...
i will be manually tuning the reg, changing the stock jets for the 1.3mm pair, and installing the hornet kit.

more to come...

So, I just posted about it but idk if itll make it here to general discussion. But has anyone compared the hammer adjusters from the Mav to the Ghost? I saw it broken down on a thread from a couple weeks ago, for all you Mav and wildcat owners what do you think?

Hello Gents’ and Ladies if you’re in here as well. I made a big DIVE back into premium airgunning today with the purchase of a ew FX Crown Mk II, .22, 600mm, Arctic Wolf with an Athelon 6-24x50. Oh my God they have become proud of these top level guns. My last air rifle was a Daystate X2 PCP about 16 years ago and long ago sold.
Have been / still am an enthusiastic powder-burner and reloader of many cartridges for both plinking and Hi Pwr precision paper shooting. Don’t have any plans to hunt.
I have to say, though, that the Incredible level of Precision, Accuracy, Shot Counts, Variety of projectiles to pick from and ability to Tune on a specific rifle to experiment and maximize the results is Really intriguing for a shooting “Geek” like me.
I have everything coming in my direction now except the portable Air supply.

I am Excited as Hell and will look forward to interacting with this Great Community of enthusiasts you have got Here on Air Gun Nation

I'm moving and cutting back to just 2 guns. I was going to keep this as a back up gun to my TalonP just because of how it looks, but it is just too different of a gun.

Haven't done much to it (other then the stock finishing) I did cut the spring back to get a much better shot string. Right now it's set as follows:

TP full open - 10.5 Crosman box 70 shots between 890 and 930 from 3000 fill. It a single hole gun at 25yds with the Crosman's.
With about 2 turns of the HS it will shoot the 13.4's at 900fps.

Has 3 mags and the Buckrail Scope Rail/Shroud bracket.

$400 plus shipping to you from 21009.

Or would like to work a trade on either another TalonP or other small .22 or .25. Depending on the deal the scope could be included.

At this point I deleted my account with paypal. I wish not to dwell on their policies, what they may do or not do etc. I prefer to focus on positive changes. So what are my options? Venmo is paypal light, Zelle is a possible answer that I will look into. USPS money orders and Personal checks. I believe I can make it work. Sure, I'll have issues buying stuff on delayed payment plans. I just can't have some entity hanging nefarious possible actions over my head. Someone screwed up there big time, Either the company approved asset seizure as part of their conditions of use to be arbitrarily applied as they see fit or some wingnut in their employ came up with that by mistake and a superior approved it! Either way , I can't accept that level of malice or stupidity.

I'm trying to post feedback for a member I purchased a gun from. How? where? I do this stuff for a living and this is ridiculous! please help... moderators??

Early this year I bought a new .177 FX Dreamline Classic in Walnut with a 500mm STX Superior (Super Lite) barrel. I only really bought it because Joe @viperjoe had it for such a good deal (under $1000) that I wanted to see if all the hubbub about .177 FX not shooting well was true, or old wives tales.

I had shot my newby AAFTA matches last year with a .177 Daystate Pulsar, and the gun is very accurate and shot the 10.65 H&N very well at 910 fps. I've only shot maybe 5 matches total, and my last one at the Saguaro Classic at Rio Salado in AZ my first round sucked, but my second was comparable to most of the top shooters.

Anyway, shortly after that I got the Dreamline. And stashed it in the gun cabinet and forgot about it until after EBR. Until this past Sunday. My Pulsar shot the 13.4 JSB RDMs pretty good, but shot the H&Ns better and didn't like the 10.3 JSB at all. I wanted a gun that would shoot the 13.4 RDMs for their wind bucking abilities. So I scoped up the Dreamline, tuned for 820 fps, reg. set at 85 bar, got the rough zero in my backyard at 14 yards, and went to my shooting spot.
Set a target at 50 yards. Shot a few burners, then shot this 5 shot group, 50 yards, RDMs at 820 fps. Light breeze left to right...
This was the VERY FIRST GROUP that I shot!!! SCHWING!!! That's my pinky finer...



I shot about 200 rounds, and was trying different wind holds and comparing to the Pulsar with 10.65 H&Ns. Definitely better the RDMs by a considerable amount. Some groups like this one, some not quite as good, but all would fit under a dime. Looks like I have a different FT gun for this year. It is very light, so off hand is harder, and I already suck at off hand, so perhaps I'll add a weight up front.
Oh, and the answer to the Title question - yes, FX Superior liners CAN shoot .177 accurately...

I’ve gotten used to spending my Friday evenings browsing the used items posted at the end of each week. It always gives me a great reason to rationalize my need to buy just one more airgun. I’ve also acquired some amazing vintage pistols over the past year.

But, I haven’t seen the Pro Owned section updated with new items in almost a month. I’m like a crackhead jonesing for my fix. LOL

Possible looking to sell my shogun depending on what I can get for it. Photos are available with request it’s also photo in other listing of it. Believe it’s a .22/.25 or can trade for avenger mods

I finally jumped on the slug bandwagon and boy did I spend a lot of money for some terrible accuracy!

Can you validate if you're having the same experience? Or if I'm missing something, I'm happy to hear any suggestions.

Summary: After some pretty extensive testing, the best slug groups are 200% larger than my average pellet groups.
My benchmark target is at 75y. I can consistently get 1" groups at that distance with various pellets. On good days, 1/2" groups are common.
The very best slug performance I've been able to eek out is with the .22 .217 25g JSB Knockouts. Those groups are inconsistent and average 1.5-2".
The slugs that don't perform so well produce outright hysterical groups. Like 5" at 75y!

I understand slugs like higher velocities so I've focused most of my testing in the velocity ranges between 950-1050fps.
I've tried lubed and dry. I also tried several combinations of reg pressure, hammer spring tension, and valve travel limit on the FX rifles.

My objective: The local benchrest match has 3 classes (low power pellet, high power pellet, and high power slug). I'd like to find a slug setup to allow me to shoot the slug class competitively.

I dont think finding a reasonably accurate slug combo should be this hard (or this expensive). I'm on the ragged edge of giving up on this whole slug thing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Slugs I bought:
.30 50g Knockouts
.22 25g .216 cal Knockouts
.22 25g .217 cal Knockouts
.22 30g .217 cal HN
.22 23g .218 cal HN
.22 FX hybrids
.22 25g .217 ZAN
.22 30g .217 ZAN
.22 -> A couple varieties of Neilsen slugs

Rifles I tried:
FX Impact 22 (smooth twist, superior liner, superior heavy liner)
FX Impact 30 (smooth twist, superior liner, superior heavy liner)
Taipan Mutant 22 (CZ barrel)

Velocities tried:
850-1050fps

I have recently purchased a Taipan Veteran from one of the members of this forum and I am familiarizing myself with the operation of the bullpup. I come from the PB world and certain models had caveats regarding dry firing.
Am I able to (can it damage) dry fire (press the trigger) my veteran with an empty mag cylinder in the place or will it cause any issues? I am awaiting my scope to arrive and really want to check out the trigger based on all of the reviews raving about the trigger. Ultimately I don't want to damage it by being impatient.


Cheers,

This past Sunday, I took the Crown Continuum to the range with my Impact M3.
I shot 50m with the Impact earlier and confirmed that it was a very good group.
Then I shot 50m with Crown.

Oh my god!
There was almost no wind, but the bullets were scattered about the size of a fist.
Changing the bullet velocity did not change the result.
After I got home, I removed the barrel, cleaned it, and replaced the o-rings.
Adjusted the position of the superlight barrel spacers with reference to AEAC.
And finally, I prayed that he would make me feel better.
I will test again next week.
