To those who fit their own barrels, what's your preferred way of doing the transfer port. I've drilled many but seems as I play more with slugs this is what I want to try. It seems the easiest for me with a very small manual milling machine. It will take a little longer for me to clean the lead-in to prevent shaving of the slug during loading but it seems to maximize the airflow regardless of the valve to barrel port size. I'm always open to better ways and this way may even help someone else so hopefully it's a win-win. Definitely need to give the credit to RTI which is where I got the idea from.

Is FX ever going to bring Ranchero or something similar to it back?
I never understood why it was discontinued.
It was a perfect fit, offering a reasonable shot count and pretty design.

A few minutes ago, less than an hour before sunset, I saw something going down the shore line behind my house. I was hoping it was a muskrat that has chewed some of the floats under my dock but it was this 8 lb 5 ounce raccoon. My dog found it first and wanted to attack it. She's almost 40 lbs but I don't want vet bills. I shot it between the eyes with a 34 grain jsb pellet going a little under 800 fps. Raccoon dropped immediately but Cola, my dog shook it while it twitched. The last one was similar in size and took 3 hits from my 32 fpe P35-22 but the one that put it down was a shot between the eyes.

Should I skin it? I didn't mess with the last one because it showed up in the middle of the day and I thought it might have rabies. I think this one is healthy but tanning skins is a bit of work. I guess I could be like Jerry Jones (Cowboys owner) and eat it.mi

I rebuilt an F8 Shoebox about three years ago and it has given great service in topping off tanks ever since. Sadly, it failed a few days ago. I think I have another rebuild kit squirreled away somewhere and I will try to resurrect the F8 once again.

Since I need a compressor right now, I bought a new GX CS4-i which should arrive next week. So far, so good. However, the Shoebox has spoiled me regarding water removal. The 125 psi external first stage condenses out a a lot of moisture in the form of liquid water and a large low-pressure indicating bead desiccator between the first stage and the Shoebox does a great job of delivering dry air to the Shoebox itself.

So I have two questions. First does the CS4-i have any mechanism to purge liquid water from the compressor? And second, what constitutes a competent high pressure water separator/ output filter for the CS4-i? I've read a lot of posts on the subject of high pressure water separators/output filters and I believe that one of the $75.00 molecular sieve "Gold" filters will serve the purpose if the CS4-I has some means to purge liquid water. I appreciate any and all advice.

I am experiencing poi shift and some people say no don't install barrel band and others say install one ,I need someone to explain why yes and why no....also what would be the best moderator out there for the m4 sniper...gracias!!

I know as airgunners we are always looking forward to something more. Which airgun really scratches that itch for you that you can never part with?

FX crown 1 year old. It has a 177 cal 380mm barrel and a 22cal 500mm barrel.
I have 2 magazines. I am only selling this because I want to try a raw rifle no scope or scope rings. $1500 shipped and insured.

I bought this Taipan Veteran 2 Standard in .25 from Utah Airguns on September 8th this year. It is the Grey Laminate Standard with 700mm barrel in .25 caliber with everything that came with the rifle, including the original box, manual, moderator, 2 magazines, and fill probe. Rifle is 36" OAL with Moderator attached.

This rifle is as all fans of Taipan say they are; well built, super accurate, wonderful trigger, and powerful. I'm wanting to buy a Huben K1 in .25 and this is part of how I will. raise the cash. I just can't justify owning 3 PCPs (Ghost, Taipan, and Huben K1). There are no issues and have been no issues with this rifle. It holds air great, no leaks, etc.

The only mod I've made to this rifle from the Vendor settings is to correctly and cleanly install sling swivel studs. I had the barreled action out of the stock when I did this so they are perfectly and securely installed. Easy to remove if you don't want them.

The sling, scope, and sling swivels are not included, but of course the sling studs are.

I hobbled downstairs just now (knee surgery 9 days ago) and put three shots of Hades 26 grain pellets over the Gamin Chronograph. The picture is a bit blurry but the speeds were average of 154 (1054, 1053, and 1057)

In a couple of pictures you will see the side lever "missing". I temporarily removed it to take some measurements for my plans to make a walnut stock for the rifle.

I don't like selling this rifle, but my hankering for a semi-auto Huben K1 is too strong.

$1,200 + $20 Shipping


















In this photo with the box and manual you can see the very tiny little pressure bump just forward of the top of the trigger and cocking handle. About half the size of little finger nail. It is very shallow and does not go deeper than surface finish.

All,

Just had to stop by and share this one. I have a soft spot for the older FX Smooth Twist guns (Boss, Royale) etc. and have owned and do own more than my fair share but this one is special.

FX Royale 400 .22 picked up here not long ago and had been sitting for a number of years. Had a well known FX guy (promised I wouldn’t name names) go through it top to bottom, Huma reg installed, resealed, cleaned up inside and out including the stock, trigger set perfectly, just taking the good and making it great.

This one has one of the nicest walnut stocks I have ever seen on a FX and tuned for 890 with the JSB 18.13 with the carbon fiber bottle it is light weight and just laughably accurate and what I believe is a Neil Clague moderator affixed it is damn near silent.

It is not often I refer to anything as perfect but this one is about as close as you can get in my opinion.

Anyways, just wanted to share an oldie but a goodie.

Some pics below that barely do it justice (be kind to an old iPhone 11 user who refuses to upgrade)

Merry Christmas,
Mike

Holy Cow! I ordered a dozen or so tins of pellets from them and the packaging must be seen to be believed. It took me a while to get into it.

BTW, they have/had a great sale on FX pellets, not sure if they have any stock left, but even if not, it's worth an order to see the packaging!

For sale or trade. Notos with 360cc bottle, mod adapter. It is currently tuned to shoot crossman 14.3g at 700fps and gets 80shots per 250bar fill. Comes as pictured with magazines and softcase. $400 shipped best offer or trade.

I've shot several near hole in hole groups over the years but this is by far my favorite. 2289 Crosman backpacker. Only 15 yards. Nothing ground breaking by any means but the way I got to capture it will probably always make it my favorite. Shooting an old hardwood pallet. Aiming at a knot in the wood. 3 shots and I stopped so I didn't ruin the group...lol

Not an expensive gun, no crazy long range, and a cheap Walmart scope but a memory that will last a lifetime.

I've never had these 10gr JSB V3 slugs expand this much but just wow! This was at 25yds head shot and remained under the skim the smaller expanded one was similar but at 42yds retrieved under the skin in the neck.

580cc Leishy bottle with Peazy. In excellent condition. $250 shipped

My new notos arrived. I started the fill with my air tank. Topped it off with air compressor. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. No leaks. Velocity on my first 3 shots with a 14.3 pellet was 779, 771, 772. Is this about what I should expect from a factory gun.

I took this one with my Prod this morning. It is shooting copper plated H&N FTT pellets about 750 fps at the muzzle. The squirrel was only about 10 yards away so I like the low scope of the Prod. It dropped immediately but when I picked it up and saw the guts hanging out I got a little worried about my placement. The pelleted entered behind the diaphragm but went forward stopping under the skin on top of the off side shoulder. It broke the shoulder on the way past. So right through the lungs and may have hit the heart. Good shot, not a lousy gut shot.

17 ounce male.

Price is for the .22 350mm setup only (scope not included). I’ll throw in two extra valves, original grip, original Edgun regulator ,Huma pellet dispenser and enough orings to last for a very long time. . $900 PP F&F FIRM.

Here is the gun that's trying to beat the M4! Thanks for watching! -Nate

I Have a Daystate Delta Wolf with a Custom Lothar Walther 19in barrel and Wylie Kans shroud on it, making it very compact 29in overall length and an excellent slug shooter and not pellet picky, factory dyastate is not known for liking slugs, 2 daystate magazines, extended trigger guard and daystate bipod included. Current scope is not included but can be discussed. Let me know if interested, thank you. I am open to trades, leishy 2, compacts or other bullpups of similar value, let me know what you have, will trade for multigun trade as well. I would prefer a very quiet .177, but I am not picky. I would sell for $1700, no ammo, but can be discussed.

Howdy AGN, I have a new Alpha Wolf Safari FAC in .22 23in barrel that is acting strange.

First issue: Advanced Shot Settings, every time when the rifle times out AKA powers off and then back on the initial shot upon powering on is nearly 50 FPS slower just like an FX with the reg creep issues. The reg is set to 110 bar.

Second issue: Factory Shot Settings, after setting the speed and shooting at least 10 consecutive shots that are within 4FPS, after the rifle times out AKA powers off and then turned back on the computer appears to go through the velocity hunting process as if a different speed was set. It does not matter if the regulator is set to the recommended setting 140 bar or at 110 bar.

I did verify the Wolf's chronograph is reading the correct velocities against my Caldwell and FX chronographs and they are all within 2FPS.

I have a programming pod on its way in hopes a re-flash of the software and looking at the tables to see what is going on may help.

This is certainly disappointing :-(

Any advice from you Delta/Alpha Wolf gurus would be appreciated.

Finally got my handguard from Inspirecraftsandhobbies, needed it to fit a redlight on my Notos so I can shoot creepy crawly stuff in the backyard at night...and seems I have another skunk that's been visiting smelling up the place so I'm ready now. Love the handguard, perfect fit and sturdy.

Also got a new scope for it, a CVLIFE EagleFeather 4-16X44 Side Focus Parallax. I have an old CVlife scope which was decent for what it is but this thing is a huge improvement...for the money and for my backyard plinking it's perfect. Was surprised at the clarity, and keeping zero. I messed around with the windage and elevation for a bit and came right back to zero no issues.

Looking through the scope is much sharper and clear than the video shows, one reason was my light was dying but also for night filming it is recording in 15fps and lower resolution, gotta tweak it a bit yet and find out what works best.

Then I got an mlok flashlight mount and put an old bipod on it and good to go.

My kids got me the compressor for father's day. Today when I was filling my rifle it just stalled and shut off before a complete fill. It just blacked out the temperature lights went dark. I unplugged the unit and waited for a while, fired the unit back up and the same thing occurred. Any ideas? How can I contact Vevor and what compressor would you recommend. I'm new to the pcp world, I want a decent compressor, but being a disabled vet I'm on a strict budget. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
