Anyone care to share their rifle tuning info? I’m currently shooting javelin slugs, 34 grain at around 980 ft./s. Has anyone found a brand of slug that seems to work well in their impacts? Thanks for your thoughts.

The short questions: When springs break is it subtle or dramatic? Do they often look like the one below? If not and you have some examples please post them to satiate my curiosity, and perhaps help educate newbies like me.

The background: I bought a HW50s .177 in the late fall and fitted a Hawke air max 2-7 x 32. Then a fellow member, Ugly John, suggested I get a chrono which I did. The gun chrono’d at 9.5-10 ft lbs. It seemed to shoot fairly well, but every now and then I’d hear a metallic click which made me wonder if I was imagining something. The new gun “twang” went away and i thought it had settled down. Nonetheless, after watching a bunch of videos and seeing a few posts i thought I’d set myself up with winter projects which may seem like a morning’s work to you experienced folks. I didn’t want to start breaking it apart until I’d got all the tools for the job.
Last week I started at it. When I opened the gun I found the spring broken, which surprised me because it was shooting quite well. It seemed that after it broke the longer piece wrapped itself around the shorter piece. The inside of the tube looked pretty clean with no gouging, just a few light scratches.
I’ll post a few photos of the broken spring and the new TBT spring kit side by side - it was buying the new kit which prompted me to open the gun up. Followed by a photo of the 10 shot chrony string showing its performance with a broken spring.

I bought a 2 year old M3 last week it’s still shooting great 22 cal 25.39gr heavy pellets 40fpe sd 4. However, I noticed first time I shot, the first shot was a bit low velocity then all the others is perfect. So I dry fire one shot before shooting. I also noticed that there seems to be a tiny leak sometimes maybe I line in 48 hrs. I would fill the gun to 210 bar and in couple days it’s 200 bar and it would stay there a not move at all. Or like the other day I fill to 210 and its 2 days and no movement. I hate when something is not perfect.

I have feeling that the white oring on the valve rod is having issues, maybe changing shape as I cock and de cock the bolt. I really want to change the orings on valve rod and plenum nose and also polish the valve rod.

However, others tell me if it’s not broke don’t touch it until there is a big leak. Last night I tried using a leak detector liquid to see if there is other leak causing my issues and also to justify opening up the M3. But to my bad luck I found nothing. I tried all the usual places, there are lots of videos on it, but no leak.

I just want to survey what people think open it up or leave it alone. Lol

Hi guys I am looking for a sight for my taipan vet 2. Preferably used in the 150-300 range with preferably 30mm tube as I have the rings already. What do you guys recommend?

Also if you have one for sale drop info. Thanks

I ask this not to be a smart ass, but due to the emergence of other options that seem to outperform the JSB (and variants) Monster Redesign 25.4 grain pellets.
I have shot the AEA 21.9 grain and JTS 22.07 grain, and both these pellets significantly outperform the Monster RDs. Yes, the other two are lighter in weight, but they both have a better BC than the MRDs, are just as if not more accurate, and don't throw the occasional flyer as the MRDs have been known to do.

With the MRDs, I get about 0.053 to 0.055 GA BC at about 950 to 960 fps. I've shot these for years from numerous gun/barrel combinations, and when they are good, they are very good, but it seems that none of the variants are free from the flyer(s) that seem inevitable.

The AEA/JTS are very similar and shoot about the same, but I think the AEA are slightly better. I can shoot them accurately at 995 and 1020 fps, but they come into their own at 970 - 975 fps. I've been shooting them through the 700mm FX STX Pellet liner and get a BC of 0.060 to 0.063 GA. Very accurate without the inevitable flyer. Just messing around yesterday in light breezes and shot a 229-4x at 100Y with the AEA 21.9.
FYI, the AEA/JTS version of the MRD 25.4 grain are not even as good as the JSB (and variant) version...

I love the power my Gamo swarm has but cocking it is a workout, does it get easier over time , is there anything I can do to make it easier?

Well it's Monday and I thought everyone might enjoy this..especially those waiting on something for delivery.



They definately took the most direct route here. I'm sure that there's a reason behind this, but really?

The holiday season is upon us!

Certainly we’ve all had our eyes on a special something for our favorite shooter.

Personally I’d love a custom stock for my favorite Airgun to wear at the next turkey silhouette shooting event. My Marauder HFT pistol needs a new dress.

How about you?

Just me and my FX Verminator. Oahu, Hawaii.

Hello,
I have a super nice Vet in .25 with several magazines, o-ring kits, biathlon style cocking handle, digital gauge (originals also), speed dial, with attached Donnie FL Tanto. I have gotten out of the airgun hobby, and need to move it. I am located in north Alabama, but will ship CONUS for $925. There are zero known issues with the rifle. All I ever did was shoot it a bit.

I purchased the rifle here, on AGN a few years back. It is in immaculate condition. Please PM me for pics, and I can text them to you or discuss on the phone.

Thanks for looking,

Chris

I recently bought an Fx impact m4. It seems to be shooting inconsistently on a double stand setup (no I wasn’t holding it) when I was zeroing it. Would anyone know the reason?

This is one of my newest old rifles, a HW50 I believe from 1972. I was shooting it and it was making noises that were alien when jacking.
I took apart last night. First rifle I was able to just twist off the trigger housing without pounding it. Felt like Sampson.
I read a post where Mycapt said to sand the slot for the cocking shoe. Bingo Not the cleanest pic. He think he nailed it. A big thanks.
When I removed the piston this was it’s position. 1/4 turn and it fell out.Is this the correct piston seal?
I read here the transfer port is different for the leather seal. I will convert back if it’s leather. The gun was accurate .
I took some of the sharp edges out, did want to go too far A few deep gouges hopefully smoothed out enough.
My main concern is the piston seal. Crow

Never used 580cc 300bar carbon fiber bottle.

After getting more into hunting in thick cover, I'm considering incorporating air bolts into my hunting repertoire. What I am unable to get around is the idea of finding bolts that passed through the animal traveling into brush and soil. Without an illuminated nock these will be very difficult to recover. Can any members suggest options to illuminate another part of the bolt to aid in recovery?

Hi All,
Hope someone can help me find a replacement bolt probe handle. It's for a .357 Rogue. I snapped it off in the probe but was able to back out the threads and remove it.
It's 55ish mm long and stem is 6mm. I'm guessing thread is 8x32 which I think is standard for benjamin ?
Just looking for where to get a replacement or if someone can machine one ?

These came with a package I bought and have no use for them.

All are unopened, full tins.

1 tin JSB knockouts .217
1 tin JSB Knockouts .216

hey guys got the acura .22 few weeks ago . very excited, got with box had been opened [RETURN?] , and was flopping around in box un-secure. the owners manual had been taken out of the accesory box, which had been crushed in transit. so loved it ,beautiful ,compact and very sweet looking. perfectly balanced,excellent trigger, and super sweet action.!!!. went to shoot and could not get the mags in as the breech was SUPER TIGHT! had to shove in with about 2-3 lbs of pressure, then push out with same, as they went FLYING!
OK WELL iim thinking they will break in. started to shoot and very 4-5 pellet at 50 yds. throwing about 12- 18 inchs to left. tryed many pellets and have lots of experience, but it ....SUCKED!!! well noticed my shroud was sssuper loose, you could grab and turn with a crunching sound....man i loved it wanted to keep, but $450 ???? to many issues. so contact vendor and they sent return label. waited a week and no money after they received??? went to bank and no deposit or any one "trying". called the VENDOR to see about refund and they said they tryed. i had gotten rid of the card that i purchased it on. they said that was the issue???/ ive gotten many refunds back on cards that id deleted as its ASSOCIATED with the same account.
anyway have bought pellets the last couple days and they took the money off my new debit card. if they can take my money they can RETURN/REFUND ME ON MY NEW DEBIT CARD, as they have no problem taking it! really bummed as i received a defective item and i get DRAMA, NO REFUND, NO CHECK and its been about a month. hopefully they will refund BACK INTO MY ACCOUNT FROM THE BANK THEY TOOK IT FROM!!! thanks guy will keep posted,j PS loved the acura and would love another , IF IT WILL SHOOT WELL!!!!!!

So I am looking through a couple of parts boxes and see that there are different numbers on these original Record trigger levers. I can't see anything different between them other than the #s.

Does anyone know the meaning of these #s? Produced on different machines? Subcontractors!

TIA

I just had to rebuild the regulator on my .30 RAW. After I rebuilt it I set the regulator at 145 bar.

In a string of 36 shots the first 9-10 shots are pretty close in the low 900 FPS range. The next 10-12 shots will be in the upper 880 FPS range and the last shots will be back in the lower 900 FPS range again. I end with a standard deviation around 11-12 FPS.

Before the rebuild it would be in 5-8 standard deviation. Accuracy seems pretty good but the velocity swing seems strange to me. Can someone explain it? Do I need to adjust the regulator?
