RAW HM1000 was leaking. I installed new seals today and put the action back in the stock. Charged to 3,000 psi and all seemed good.

Loaded pellet, pulled trigger and nothing. The hammer went forward and hit the valve but no air release. Valve sounded soft, not bound.

Went to remove the bottle and the block with the reg easily spun in the block. So the reg never pressurized. Trouble now is I can not remove the bottle and the stock wraps around the bottle so can not remove the action. What are my options? Drill bit in the foster and tap with hammer? Can I unscrew the gauge until it vents? Tank has 3k in it and trying not to die.

I have an email off to Martin.


Next question. What did I do wrong on the reseal. All I did was take old seals out and put new ones in.

Back in Dec. 2023 @WilliamG posted a picture (below) of his RAW with a cool empty chamber indicator. I’ve never seen them for sale anywhere so I made one today.
I had a small teflon ball from an old diaphragm pump I tore apart. I drilled an .082 diameter hole almost all the way through and then 90° to that I drilled and tapped a 10-32 hole almost all the way through for a set screw. I inserted about a 10” length of .080” diameter weed whip line into the hole and locked it in with the set screw. I took a stone to the end of the weed whip line to put a radius on it so that I didn’t have a sharp corner that could cut an O ring.
Thanks WilliamG !

When buying used guns or equipment...DO YOUR DUE DILIGENT, RESEARCH, HOMEWORK...before handing over your hard earned cash !!!

I just watched a gun (apparently) sell for a way over priced amount. This is per the seller's combined, comments to me and his, "FOR SALE" ad.

NOT saying names or the gun sold. JUST BE CAREFULL .

I remember buying this gun 20 or so years ago. One of 10 made. It was 1K with five magazines. I really didn't want to spend that kind of money, but the seller wouldn't budge. Glad I did now. Rare as hen's teeth and incredibly accurate.

For sale Edgun Leshiy 2 450mm Alfa barrel and also Reflex Kit with Behemoth moderator.

I want to purchase a new scope for my Black Ops Sportsman 900 pellet rifle. Can anyone please explain what the numbers represent. I am new at this and I need some education on scopes.

Can a bottle be added to Atomic XR ?

Is there a way to change caliber to .177 from .22?

Decided to make a barrel shroud for my tomahawk, this fits the longbow to and probably a hw80 but not tried it . Made from seamless steel tube 20mm OD with 2mm wall . Reduced at breach end to match the breach block . 2xm4 grub screws on the underside at the rear , tad of bonding when fitted . And a bit of brass to . Polished up ready for bluing . Last picture if finished blued

This is my Impact Arms RM 100/Theoben Crusader in .22. Restored to like new condition by David Slade. I think he did an outstanding job. For those that don’t know the Impact Arms RM 100 rifles were produced at the Theoben factory after Theoben closed. The factory was bought out minus the Theoben name. The remaining parts were assembled in to rifles under the name Impact Arms. Mine was made on a Crusader action. David Slade is the owner of Airgunwerks one of the premier places to have work done on springer/piston air-rifles.

Notos less than 50 pellets thru it. I purchased it new from Pyramyd.

Includes Pistol grips - never installed, fiber optic sights - never installed, 2 magazines, saber clamp, Single-shot tray, 3-9x40 Optics R4 Reticle Crosshair Scope with Mounts, and the original box it came in.

I have about 450 with tax in it. I would rather sell the complete package than deal with shipping several things separately so how about $325 shipped or without the saber clamp $275

PPFF or add fees, venmo, apple pay, check has to clear bank all are ok.

thinking about buying one ...................... any advice ? what about CF or AL tank ?

I’ve just gotten back into the realm of PCPs and am enjoying it immensely. I primarily focus on plinking (within 50 yards) and occasional target practice in my garage (10 yards).

While I prefer not to use a bench, I truly appreciate the accuracy it affords. I do not formally compete — my only competition is myself.

With a longstanding affinity for photography, I’ve accumulated multiple tripods of different sizes. I decided to purchase an arca adapter and mounted the Alpha on several high end tripod heads. Even the rather expensive ones (heavy duty fluid and ball heads) didn’t seem to work as the weight distribution on the Alpha Wolf is rather far back. I finally settled on a Leophoto MA-30L, and it successfully keeps the Alpha in position despite the weight imbalance.

After discovering that the MA-30L solved the balance problem, I soon realized that a lateral wobble while aiming was extremely difficult to reduce. Despite watching multiple videos online, I improved to some degree but could not tame the beast to my satisfaction. I know what you’re thinking . . . I should have just practiced more. However that wasn’t the point.

I experimented with multiple tripods and gadgets I built — some suspended from the main tripod and others mounted on a separate tripod. Finally after lots of experimentation, the lateral wobble improved considerably.

However despite some degree of success, another challenge immediately became apparent — the ease of adjustability and changing aim was challenging at best. Frankly it just wasn’t enjoyable adjusting the aim from target to target on a 25-yard multiple target sheet.

Finally online I found a Saber Tactical Pro Bench Monopod, a rear rest that had potential. I contacted the company and discussed this challenge at length with them. They actually tapped the base with a 3/8 16 thread for tripod mounting and shipped it the very same day.

Frankly I could not have been more pleased. It works great, is rock solid, and makes shooting without a bench highly accurate and enjoyable. Setup is quick and it’s precision and ease of adjustment serve my purpose perfectly. In fact, I’m so pleased that I decided to photograph the setup to share with this audience.

While I could not find much online, I’m certain that I’ cannot be the only one struggling with considerable lateral wobble on a tripod.

While this post is not intended for hunters, benchrest shooters, or those who line up and shoot rapidly in varying settings, I hope it provides a rather effective e solution for those who prefer to use a tripod for target practice.

I extend thanks to Saber Tactical for a great design and superb service, and to this forum for a host of valuable insights that helps us better enjoy and advance in this sport.

TX 200 was do'en in the fps.They said about 700 was average?so i dug out the old tx and it was cold and shot it 3or 4 time's with cp 14.5 and came up with this?i think if it was in room temp it would have got up to 740 or 750 that's what she used to do.Now this is a old gun?any hoot here;s the pic.

For those tethering a carbon fiber tank to their airgun using a Saber Tactical Tank Valve ST0031 - have you run into any problems? I have been told/advised that the ST tank valve is not designed to be used for tethering and that there may be problems with this setup. My ST tank valve has blown o-rings a couple of times and I'm told it may be from tethering.

I love bullpups, but this gun has been in the back burner since getting my Huben GK1.

It shoulders perfectly, OAL w/out mod is <33". Cocking is super smooth, it prefers the 18.13gr fx, I've only tried the 15.9grfx and the 21.9gr AEA. It will shoot Zan .219gr 22gr slugs superbly, the trigger could be better but I have not messed with it. It's currently shooting 18gr pellets at 965fps and will headshot sh-medium sized iguanas out to 70yds relatively easy.

Comes with 3 mags, 10 shots each, and will give you about 50-60 shots from a 300b fill in it's current set up.

Make me an offer, scope not included, mod can be included.

You order them from Trenier. I got my order of pellets from Trenier today. As always they were packed like fine china. I ordered 20 tins of pellets and all individually packed in bubble envelopes. Like anyone else I like a bargain but it usually comes with poor packaging and banged up pellets. I won't bash vendors but I will brag on good ones. Trenier has good prices and fair shipping costs. Paying perhaps a little bit more easily justifiable when your pellet tins arrive like this. Plus I like supporting smaller businesses.

Just wondering if FX or anyone else is working on any other sized plenums for the DRS? I have a .22 with the 600mm barrel. I came with the 11cc plenum which is very efficient but is not great for heavier ammo or higher power. I purchased the SHP 63cc plenum and it makes a huge power increase, almost too much, but also turns the DRS into a huge air hog since the plenum is 10% of the overall air cylinder volume. IMHO about half that would be much better!

It seems to me someone should be able to produce a plenum that falls somewhere in between these 2 extremes. The Dreamline Power Plenum is 17cc, but you can add a second one and double that (34cc). Either a one piece medium sized plenum with a volume of around 30cc or even an 11cc extension that could be added between the DRS and the stock 11cc plenum that could double the size would be a nice compromise.

Anyone aware of anything being developed to fill this gap between 11cc and 63cc?

Up for sale is my ED GUN LELYA 2.0 excellent condition. The accuracy is extremely accurate. Can put 30 shots in one hole at 50 yards.

hi ive orderd a m60 supposed to be here next week but was told that it will come with a titanium bottle not a standerd alloy bottle any one have one or heard of this cheers

Who has one of these? Is it worth the upgrade? I tend to like metal/synthetic airguns for my uses and while a nice laminate stock is nice, I'd prefer a different one. For the price at what I have in my Vet I think I can justify the $325 price. Just curious if others like how it feels or not. Id lose the rear part to ride a bag, but looks like i can make something there if need be. I'm ordering some spare parts from Talon Tunes anyways like a valve and a gauge. Ordered some orings last night also. Good thing as today looks like I found my Short has a leak. I think it's oring on the gauge but just in case getting a new gauge to be safe.

Does anyone know where I can find replacement screws for the circled screws? They are very small and strip easilly.
I could not find a parts list online anywhere. Thanks!

Well like it says, I caved on another old air gun. This pretty special from a member here! This was bought new 10/11/1990. Then in July of 2021 sent to J.T. for a complete tune by the original owner. Came with a Hawke 4-12x40 AO Airmax scope, original purchase receipt, and before and after reports from John Thomas when tuned. I am ecstatic with this purchase! I sold this same model in 20 cal in the early 80's when it was first produced. Had it for about a year and sold it, dumb move.


But when I seen this one even though it was in 177, it was special enough to go for. 8.4 grain AA field or JSB Exact 8.4 grain pellets @ 924.9 av. fps with 16 fpe is capable of accuracy I only get with my tuned 54 Diana Air King Pro!

It was a bad day to try out a new air gun today, as we had 15 to 20 mph wind with gusts to 30 this afternoon, and severe storm watch for this evening. But I managed to stand at the side of the house resting my forearm hand on the corner and sighted it in at 22 yards after getting the stock back on it and scope leveled and mounted after it came around noon. Two shots low left, adjusted windage and shot 3 more, then adjusted up 6 clicks.



That was when momma decided we needed to go out for supper. So got around and took about a 45 minuet ride to a favorite grub spot. So about the time we left to come home the rain started, after about 10 minutes of light rain, it got real gusty and had about a 15 to 20 minute downpour. SI figured when I got home about sundown it would be to nasty to shoot it anymore with everything soaked, and blowing. To my surprise about 5 mile from home the sun was getting ready to appear and by the time we got in town the wind was dead.

Well after changing back into more comfortable clothes, I decided to try a group. Calm winds, and sill standing at the corner of the house, resting my forend hand against the corner of the house and took five shots at 22 yards.


Needless to say, Im extremely happy, as well as finished sighting in. The rifle was tuned with JSB Exact 8.4 grain diablo pellets. In all reality the same pellets I sighted in with above. But right where I wanted it, about .2" high at 22 yards. should give dead on aiming out to 35 to 40 yards on squirrel and starlings. anything rat sized.

Another Keeper, it just never ends, I hope!

There is no way to sell an air rifle using PayPal anymore. I sold an air rifle for $3500. The transaction was eligible for seller protection. I insured the package for $3000 and required a direct signature from the guy himself, Joseph. The package was delivered by UPS and signed for directly by Joseph himself with proof from UPS.

Joseph is a scammer and he already knew he was getting my gun for free. And he did. They have it figured out now. He actually claimed he never got the package. Even with all that proof, he got away with it. (I just gave some criminal a 9mm Full Auto Evanix Max for free.)

Don't sell a gun and accept payment through PayPal unless you are willing to lose it. As of January of this year PayPal changed their policy so they can do this to you. They did not get me because before they could charge me, I changed my bank account number. But now I have no PayPal account which I have had for 20 years.

If you really want to sell a gun sell it on ebay. Or you can do a buy/sell transaction through ebay it's just 12%. You can also accept a credit cards payment through Square.com ...not sure how that is protected now but I'm guessing Visa/Mastercard would not let a merchant get scammed.
