N/A  Vulcan 3 hp .30 or….

Hi everyone! We’re not sure what direction to go in and could use some advice. We currently have an M3 .22 sniper and we’re looking to add a .30 to the collection for hunting coyotes and raccoons. Do we repurpose/upgrade/refresh the m3 to a .30 slugger or buy a Vulcan 3 hp .30? What would you do considering the parts alone to upgrade the m3 will cost about $900 vs a purpose built .30 slugger from the factory? This is the parts list:
1. .30 700mm tensioned slug barrel kit
2. oem shroud with 3d printed end cap to fit over the tensioner
3. Orion mags
4. high pressure Huma reg
5. Huma or maybe tungsten hammer
6. oring rebuild kit
7. mubhaur’s front plenum part that fixes oring stiction….all said and done parts cost ~$900 on top of the $2K+ price tag.

We recently acquired an AGT Uragan 2 .25 carbon and I’m blown away by its ruggedness, dependability, simplicity and accuracy. It’s as accurate as the m3 .22 sniper out to 120 yards (testing out to 175 yards soon) and there is NO NEED for aftermarket parts. Heck it doesn’t even require a moderator shooting at 75 fpe! A Mod40 had no effect on quieting it down whatsoever.

I would love to hear from you guys that have owned one or the other, or both! What direction would you go in and why? I truly appreciate all advice and/or input!

Airgun Technologies  Testing slugs with the VULCAN 3 HP .30

here's 6 5-shot groups on 50m with the VULCAN 3 HP .30 with one fill and factory reg and HS settings from a bench with a cheap bipod and no back-bag.
chronograph numbers in the pictures below.

to my surprize, the best group (but only by a mm) was the 3rd with the super cheap low quality hand-knurled KINGPB-82 brand 63gr slugs i got form a special offer at Krale. (i also adjusted the scope for this group, based on the results of the 2 previous groups.)

i wanted to find out how the lighter 54gr vs. the 63gr and 68gr are, since i am looking for a slug mold. i would very much like to try out the

NOE 300-68-FN-BI3 4 Cavity RG4 BT slugs and get one of the molds, but they are sold out. (looking for one in the classifieds!) i think they will be the better choice for long distances from what i've read here.

  • Question
FX  M4 help!

Ok just got my impact m4 and trying to get to around 950 fps with around 26-32 grain slugs and the gun won't do it. I'm getting around 850's fps
I heard a stock impact should shoot up to around 34 grain slugs before mods.
I also seen the threads of the cold shot problems with the o-ring and rod issues.
So I'm curious if my expectations of a stock fx are wrong and need a heavier hammer or if I should take the gun apart and inspect if for some issues?
I've tried bumping the reg til it won't shoot any higher, maxed out the hammer tension settings and maxed out valve adjustment. Then turned all down etc etc tried a lot before asking.
My set up
Stock hammer
700mm heavy stx
Pin probe
Dual port down for slugs
Shot a lot of different companies slugs, different weights and tried .217 and .218 with no big difference.
I got a couple heavier hammers inbound

Thank for the help!

A proper bench

While I really don’t enjoy shooting off of a bench, it can be a useful tool when testing different products and tunes.

For years I’ve shot off of a Lifetime (like Rubbermaid) portable table, then recently I purchased a Caldwell Stable Table. Both did ok for what they were, but I needed something less portable and sturdier.

I just bought this 2ft x 4ft bamboo and steel beast. It weighs about 50 lbs, is rated to hold 2000 lbs, is height adjustable, and has leveling caster feet. I haven’t shot off it yet, but I can tell that it’s not going to flex and change my POI from the slightest external input.

What kind of table have you found works best for you?

HW/Weihrauch  HW35 Leather Piston Seal Assembly

I have an older (1970?) HW35 that has been converted to a plastic piston seal. I want to change it back to a leather seal. I have the leather seal on order but I can't find the other parts I need. From pictures, it looks like I would need a plastic cup like part to fit inside the leather seal and a round nut to thread on and hold everything together. I can make the parts but I need the dimensions. Does anyone have any of these lying around that could measure them for me? I assume every time a conversion kit is sold someone has these leftover parts.

Thanks for your help,

Jay

Quick morning hunt

Well, went out this morning after all the rain we have got the last few days for a quick sit. Got there around 730 and got 2 fox squirrels down. The creek is full of water so I had to go back and get the waders on to cross so don't take any pics of the recovered ones. Don't want to lose the phone so left it at home. I was able to take a pic of one on ground but hard to see. I took the impact compact out in 25cal.

Here's the one I took picture of on other side of creek

Air Tanks  WTS SCOTT 30 minute (44 cu ft) tank

I just finished this as new 17 year old tank. These are government surplus units that have been stored for possible future use. This tank shows absolutely no signs of use. I removed the CGA - 347 valve , inspected the tank for any issues , then replaced it with an air gun specific valve and upgraded the gauge to a larger 2" unit that is much easier to read. Included is a 20" micro bore hose with female foster fittings at both ends. This tank is past it's "15 year service life " and therefore will not be filled by any commercial entity. You must have your own source for high pressure air and use at your own risks. I use these tanks myself as well as most of my friends. They are overbuilt for breathing air in tough environments. Selling for $180 shipped with tracking to the conus. Not interested in trades or offers at this time. Please deal by pm. Thanks for looking. Herb

PCP Rifle  WTS Tuned Up Gamo Coyote 22 Cal Stacks Pellets $285 FTF Bay Area CA

Selling my lightly upgraded Gamo Coyote in 22 Cal. Has the barrel band removed, longer screw trigger mod, transfer-port bored out and hand aligned with the barrel port, lastly a pic rail added to the forend to attach a bipod or light etc. Comes with fill probe and one factory mag (bipod not incl). Has normal handling marks but overall in really good shape.

Loves Hades or Atomics and also H&N Barracuda Heavy. It will also push the 17.5g Nielsen slugs at a respectable speed ~800fps with room to go up, but I havent tested for accuracy. Current settings it gets somewhere around 50 shots under the curve if memory serves correctly. I would like to sell or trade for $285 face to face at USI Concord CA.

FX  went down the rabbit hole new FX M4 .25

good afternoon
well after doing a ton of research and looking at some higher-grade air guns
looked at the Brk ghost Daystate forget what models to much $$$ A.A.
FX wildcat 3 Bt FX M3 and FX M4 all in .25 cal

i decided and bought the FX M4 Standard and also got the .22 500mm barrel kit as well (compact).


now its hurry up and wait.

HFT: Help kit me out

Greetings folks,

I am long time hunter & shooter that at one time or another has competed in virtually every shooting discipline save one, air gunning. I don’t say that to boast, but rather to give some context.

I am finally setting my eye on this sport & as I look at the various guns & equipment of FT I am frankly amazed. For the 1st time in decades I am in position where I don’t know what I don’t know. Worse still, I really don’t have the gumption of spending weeks researching every rifle & scope so if y’all could provide some suggestions I would be most appreciative!

While I have read the 177 vs 22 controversy I believe I would prefer a 22 anyway because it will likely get used for critter killin as well as HFT. Im old school so would prefer a nice wood stock as opposed to synthetic. I would also ask for a recommendations as to what glass to put on it.

The only other question is price. While I am blessed to be able to afford to buy what I want, I won’t spend a lot just because I can. I have to perceive some value in it so if you could, qualify your recommendations on why that is what I should get. I know a lot of it will be highly subjective but its your opinions & insights that I am looking for.

Finally, I love classic looking rifles & I like bullpups, I have no interest in something that looks like it belongs on the set of Star Wars. ;)

Is the fx impact the worst investment and resale values?

So we spending thousands on the fx impact. It comes stock at $2100-2199. Then we spend around another thousand on aftermarket. Then when it's time to resale, you cant even sell the impact at $1000 lmao. This is crazy. The fx impact imo is the worst value and resale gun of all time. With other guns you expect to take about 25-30% lose when resale. But the fx impact even over 50% loose it doesn't even sell. I've seen impacts mk1/mk2 with upgrades going for about $1050-1100 and they not selling at all. People spending near 3k (with upgrades) and can't even sell it back at $1000..smh. what the hell is going on here?????

PCP Rifle  WTS Mint condition Daystate Air Ranger Extreme .25 80fpe

Alright, I took 5 shots of each ammo, back to back.
1st 5 shots Javelin 2 40gr .250
2nd 5 shots Javelin 2 40gr .251
3rd 5 shots VK 32.8gr .250
4th 5 shots Apolo 40gr .2505-.251

The gun is very consistent for not having a regulator, and it is also very accurate.

I started shooting with the tank at 250b at the end of those 16 shots, the tank was at about 180ish bar.

This ishe best gun I've had in my hands but it simply does not fit my style of shooting. It has a 23 3/4" long barrel.

I have not tried shooting pellets out of this, when I first got it, I tried shooting the 32.8 grain Varmint Knocker slugs, and the first five shots were 1042, 1042, 1046, 1046, 1042. So needless to say, the only pellet worth trying may be the seneca 43's but they may be too long to fit the mag.

The gun only comes with one magazine.

It is in pristine condition and it would come in a long and hard carry case. I'd be interested in a vulcan 3 500mm, uragan compact, krait/katran hp

Sell for $1300 split shipping, obo

Mod and scope not included.

A piece of American Airgun history

IMG_1254.jpeg

IMG_1255.jpeg


Stumbled upon this Crosman service manual on eBay. It teaches you how to service 30+ Crosman models. These were the Crosman guns that gave Crosman its awesome reputation for building quality airguns. Back when “made in America” meant MADE in America (not just assembled!). An ode to the good ol’ days.

HW/Weihrauch  Your grandpa's HW 30

I recently acquired a pre-Beeman iteration of the classic HW 30, and thought a comparison to Beeman's equally classic evolution of the design - the "Gary Goudy stock" R7 - might be of interest. The current HW 30 has of course evolved beyond either of these in some details. I believe the HW 30 was introduced in the early 1960's; note that as old as my R7 is, this HW 30 was already old enuff to drink before it was born, lol...!
IMG_5927.jpeg


The R7 was Beeman's effort to bump a junior-sized European rifle up into his "American adult airgun" market. Its stock is longer and heavier; adding a buttplate, grip checkering, Monte Carlo comb line, and the famous extension of wood over the breech block. The HW 30's wood is a slender version of the classic German lines - plain butt, rounded grip, and finger-groove fore end.
IMG_5928.jpeg


Early R7's used a straight HW 30 action, but in order to balance the chunkier stock, they eventually moved to a heavier 15mm diameter barrel. The HW 30S's is 14mm, giving fine balance in a lighter and quicker handling package. Note both guns have the same fixed-post front sight, though the older one lacks a hood.
IMG_5929.jpeg


Beeman never liked the original stamped rear receiver cap, so all but the earliest R7's dispensed with it and added the safety. The HW 30 has 13mm scope groove spacing, but the R7 the newer 11mm version. Both enjoy the famous Rekord trigger.
IMG_5931.jpeg


These days we see frequent discussions of barrel lockup issues with the HW 30. Note the R7 uses the same "ball bearing under a bar" breech latch seen on current guns, but the original design had a stout old-school wedge detent. These parts look to be the same ones used on the larger HW 50 in those days and give no problems.
IMG_5934.jpeg


As much as I like the R7 and other newer HW 30 variants, the old fellow is a real delight - shoots hard, easy to carry, quick to the shoulder. I have an ARH kit on the way for it, and plan to add an aperture sight, so it should get plenty of use in the future.
