I am told "the good ol' boys" FT range at Roz Sumpter's place shot the last Tenn state match yesterday 9/17/22 after the match the targets were auctioned off and today part 2 is at the Invicta range just south of Roz's . What a beautiful range set in the woods , Quiet , peaceful .

OOPS sorry for the wrong date , my bad

Borrowed these photos from a post on one of the Dutch airgun fora.
In a post from a guy (together with some other shooting expert) having examined the exact compostion of both JSB and H&N pellets and slugs.



At least one big surprise for me. And i guess for some other amongst you too.
Everyone knows JSB to be of the ‘softest lead’ around. Even softer than H&N pellets. Figures confirming this much.


JSB Exact 99,89 % lead, 0,1 % antimony and 0,01% tin.
HN Baracuda 99,8 % lood, 0,2 % antimony.


However….
Imagine my surprise... at seeing the analysis of H&N slugs…
In the past often asked myself “do (commercially manufactured) 100% lead slugs exist ?”
The answer is ‘YES’. And it s not JSB slugs.
But the H&N slugs which indeed appear to be the softest of them all, with one 100% pure lead.



Who d ever thought that when compared to the already soft lead JSB slugs, the H&N slugs are the “softer ones” ?


JSB Knockout 99,91 % lead, 0,09 % antimony.
H&N Slug HP 100 % lead

Pb = Lead.
Sn = Tin.

Hello all!
So I got a used .22 Walther Reign UTX.
it had a blown “pellet probe O-ring”
For some reason it’s extremely hard to find them online.
I measured it the best I could and got some on Amazon and none of them work.
So I found the OEM part number (465.22.01.2)
And I think the size is 3.5mm X 5.9mm and 1.2mm width.
So I got that exact size from McMaster and it blew out right away.

So I called and ordered the OEM one right from Umarex and it blew out on the second shot.
So obviously something else is wrong.
I searched pretty hard and cant find the solution.
The pellet probe is pretty loose and doesn’t seem like it’s lined up real great, but I’m thinking maybe it’s supposed to be loose so it can find it’s own center?
I give up.
I’m really hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Prepping some .457 barrels for Don Cothran guns.

If I have a gen 1 maurader and a stock from a gen 2, will it fit? If not, what would be required to make them fit?
Thanks much

Today I had the joy of setting up my new .177 Uragan 2 in carbon with my new Sightron VIII ED scope - I was blown away with my very first pellet through this gun finding center in the Middle box. I moved to upper left box after a couple of adjustments. Lastly Top right was final adjustment. Each box got 15 pellets- this is my 10 meter initial go. I am very impressed with this combination!

What distance should I use for Zero for FT purposes?

Also asking in other forums as well......

Great scope but eye relief is very close. I had to move scope all the way back of my pic rail and use only one ring to hold the scope,

Is this OK? Any ideas for proper mount?

Gun only used for bench and its only tikka 22.

New old stock Dragar 45min SCBA tank. I filled it once and put it back in the box. Moving and no room to take it with me.
No issues with tank at all.

Evening everyone,

i got on the road this morning well before sunrise to attend an air rifle match at CMP in Anniston AL and I must say, it was interesting in several ways. This event was open to multiple age groups all shooting against each other. I was clearly the oldest shooter as the others ranged in age from 13 to maybe 25. While my Beeman rifle was easily more capable than me it was also the least costly by far next to the Anschutz, Walther and other purpose built rifles. Let’s just say I was not a top ten finisher and leave it at that. What I found impressive and very encouraging was that every other shooter there had clearly worked hard to develop a routine that worked and that even the youngest had a lot of family support. While my Beeman is maybe a $250 rifle the others started at $4K and up. Add in all the other support gear, cost, time and travel involved and I left feeling very upbeat about the future of shooting sports in general. What’s more was that these shooters were at least polite and generally downright friendly and helpful as was true of everyone else. I made sure I registered for the October match before I left. Now for the work and practice.

Airgun in your vehicle. How hot can the tank get before being a dangerous problem

I have 2 high pressure gauges for sale. Asking 30 each . Shipped TYD.

As the title states, looking for a dreamline classic stock, synthetic or walnut

Thanks

My must accurate .25 Cal PCP at 90 yards is the Vulcan 2, but my favorite one is the Renegade HP because of power (66 foot pounds) and because of the electronic trigger.

The only problem with the Renegade HP is that you need to take with you a squba or a portable compressor because it only gives 25 hunting shots per fill. Solved that the Renegade HP is a dream of hunting rifle.

Ordered a HW30 from Krale this past Wednesday morning and I was holding it Friday afternoon. ?? Of course it came with the new Jetsons laser stock. I could not wait to get it off. What the heck is Weihrauch thinking??? The gun shot accurately and averaged 685 fps with 7 grain Basic wadcutters. Monday a Vortek tune kit is going in. I had a traditional style stock left over from the addition of a custom stock. The stock is probably 15+ years old now but it was the sprayed stain type with the checkering filled with clear finish. I wanted to add a Weihrauch Diopter sight so I hoped to make the gun look vintage like they once were. I removed the old finish and stain and tried to get the Beech stock to have the old look.

Recently had surgery to remove a basil cell carcinoma from the schnoz, so I couldn't bend over or lift, so the wife asked our two new neighbors to do a little heavy lifting for us, moving an old Sony Trinitron tv. One of the fellas saw my airguns, so we had something to talk about, and then he informed me that I was welcome to use his Yong Heng compressor!




Was able to fill all my bottle builds by connecting directly to the foster, but couldn't get anything to work trying to fill any of my tanks.

There will definitely be one of these in my cart at some point, but I do wish I could fill my tanks before returning lol -

As pretty much everyone knows, the FWB Sport is a jumpy, slammy, godawful shot cycle from the factory. Ran some pellets over the chrono and was getting 860fps with both the JSB 8.44gr and the FTT 8.64gr. From my experience, the FTTs are usually a good 20-30fps slower so it was a safe bet the Sport was a bit over sprung. Cutting a single coil would likely soften the shot cycle some while maintaining a very similar velocity withe the JSBs. I opted to remove 2 coils though and hopefully really tame the beast.

I removed the spring (guide is just as poorly fitted as expected), snipped and flattened two coils, relubed, and reinstalled everything. Re ran the JSBs over the chrono and sure enough I was still sitting at 835 fps with the JSBs with the added benefit of a much tamer gun. With only 200 shots or so on it now, I expect it to only get better with time. When I have a bit more free time I'll turn myself a proper guide and call it a day. Here is a shot cycle comparison between my HW50S (stock spring, Vortek piston seal) and the FWB Sport.

I've never done any content on shooting - but I figured, what the heck, since I'm out there blasting stuff and having fun, it may be worth making some videos and sharing.

I certainly enjoy watching stuff blow up in slow-mo - let me know if this sort of thing is something you'd want to see more of and I might make some more videos - I know this isn't anything special at all, but, it's not really intended to be - just a simple video of me shooting the 'standard' target I've used since I was a kid. Water filled coke cans.

New crown owner as of about two weeks. Love it. I just got my chrono in today and think I’ve got my tune dialed in now. Backed off of max internal hammer screw until the fps leveled off around 930-935. 130 on the reg shooting jsb 25.39s. Turned wheel down to get it at about 896 fps currently. Didn’t have time to shoot groups tonight before dark so going to in the morning, hitting dime sized marks at 50 yards with last three shots I took right around 890-896 fps. My question is for you .25 cal guys shooting the 25.39 pellets what’s your sweet spot for fps for accuracy? Until I get a better scope I won’t be reaching out to 100 yards too often so until the scope upgrade i won’t step up the pellet weight and will be sticking with the 25.39.

With my gun (Huben K1) completely drained of air, the manometer needle is not at zero exactly which is not doing my OCD any good! I want to to adjust this (I know, I know, first world problems). Is there any way of removing the plastic window without cracking it, and if not are there any plastic clear window replacements in case there is no way to remove it without cracking it. Its a 25mm manometer gauge, looks pretty standard. There doesn't seem to be any sideports where I could insert a syringe and pop it off.

I have a leshiy 2 .22 magazine that I am not using it willncine with the black mag cover. $70TYD any questions feel free to ask.

Anyone used a 10X42 SWFA SS scope on a springer?

What do you use if for? Hunting, field target, punching paper?
,
There are three choice of reticle Mil-Dot, MOA-Quad and Mil-Quad. I kind of like the MOA-Quad. What reticle do you have and how do you like it?

Thanks
