N/A  My 57 year affair

Hello again citizens of Airgun Nation. it has been 3 years since I last posted. True to form, I got busy with something else. I promise to be faithful from now on.

Anyway, I have been thinking about airguns and airgun engineering / design for years, 57 to be exact.

Today I had a novel thought while reading some of the threads about magnum springers. Open Source, airgun enthusiasts design and maybe even build the ultimate coil / gas spring gun. Possibly our ideas would stimulate an existing manufacture to use what we come up with, or someone somewhere starts their own company.

If there is a moderator reading this, could you tell me if this Open Source design / build team of volunteers is something that would be allowed, and how something like this could be structured / organized here on Airgun Nation? Most everyone has a good idea or two, and no doubt there are those that know their way around a cad program, wood workers, metal fabricators, mechanical engineers, machinists etc. What we come up with would be freely shared with anyone interested. Maybe someday the ultimate coil / gas spring air rifle will be produced as a result of our efforts.

Thoughts anyone ?

HW/Weihrauch  Using a peep sight

I read that you get your eye as close to the peep sight as you can, just look at the front sight and the target and open both eyes. However, I cannot shoot good groups with both eyes open with my HW 30 or FWB 300. I do better with one eye closed but not super precise groups. If I just practice with one eye, can I get the same results as keeping both eyes open? I am aiming through my right eye which seems to be the dominate one. I have tri-focal glasses I am shooting with. Any hints?

thinking of stepping up to ,30 cal fx brk ?

looking into .30 cal 500 -600mm barrel
was looking at Fx Brk but need to do some more research
looking to shoot 100-125 yds accurately and with something that is going to be reliable. next level up in quality built.
i was looking at the fx m3 std and compact along with some Brk brand never heard but was told they make a good gun?
any info on .30 rifles would be appreciated

Can Believe It!

Big THANKS & admiration goes out to rc4fun & HooXXDVM for 3D printing & mailing out to me a tripod adapter plate that was virtually impossible to find were it not for these guys. What I've come to expect from so many of the great people here! Pay it forward people! It's what makes AGN a growing & worthwhile community!

Let's talk pellets!

I picked up a can of H&N Barracuda .25 cal pellets
30.86 grain.
Shooting out of a proper working stock non modified Hatsan Zada.
Roughly 700 to 750 range.
So my question is this.
1. Is the H&N Barracuda a good all purpose round for general shooting targets and hunting both?
2. Should I go to 22 to 25 grain instead of shooting heavier 30 to 35 grain slugs?
3. Did I make a good choice?

4. Is a .25 caliber with a 4x red dot a good turkey head splitter? Or good for 10 to 40 yards?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Looking for pellets that is semi affordable. Works decent with break barrel. General moderate target plinking.
And rabid small game rabies control.
Might try turkey head shot hunting out with it.

Ever wondered what it's like to shoot a field target match?

I used a PARD electronic scope to shoot an Ultimate Field Target match last weekend. At the beginning of each lane I hit record so that I could stitch them together, the intent being to create a video to give folks an idea of what field target is like. While field target isn't much of spectator sport, hopefully this 23 minute video will give anybody considering attending a match the push to get out there and compete.

There are some fun targets in the mix, things like a poop emoji, beta fish, Elmo, bears, beavers, owls, cowboy, etc.

The yardages listed before each lane were the distances marked on the lane markers. The built in rangefinder on the PARD was a couple yards off here and there.

In "regular" field target (sub 20fpe and max of 55 yards) the distances are not given and electronic rangefinding devices are not allowed. But this version (Ultimate Field Target) allows them.

In all versions of field target, no sighters are allowed after the start of the match. It is a game where trajectory validation prior to the match is REQUIRED if the shooter intends to be competitive.

I used a BRK Ghost, shooting the NSA .20/18.9grain slugs for this match.

As all field target matches are, it was a hoot to shoot and I hope you enjoy it and maybe even decide to come try it for yourself.

Cheaper bullpup options other than the FX Impact M4 Compact in .22?

I'm new to high end airguns. I've been around ariguns since I was a kid, but just Crossman, Daisy, etc. The FX Impact M4 Compact looks like a perfect match to what I want. (Walking around backyard taking rabbits.) The only issue with it is the price.

Does anyone make a comparable bullpup that is a lot cheaper than the FX in .22 or does one have to suck it up and pay the price for an FX if you want the total package?

My wants...

power
accuracy
reliability
low weight
compact
quality build

Thanks!

Help, having Basic Marksmanship Issue/ Bad Habits?

Quick note:
Don't click the YT link unless you are a real coach and love watching students take 30 minutes to take 4 shots.


Here is the problem. I can shoot through a sub half-inch hole with a .30 pellet at 25 yards. I can do it somewhat reliably so the result on the paper is multiple shots in one hole.

Sounds like I am bragging.

NO! I'm sucking like a Hoover and a Kirby made a demented lovechild that had to be euthanized.

I need help.

When the plate wobbles and falls from impact on the steel backer I decide to aim at the hole on paper 1" further away. NOW I string the shots like a toddlers sticky snot goober.

What am I doing differently? What marksmanship principle am I most likely missing when I shoot one inch further distance on paper?

These look like good shots but they are not. At 100 yards there would be at least an inch between POIs.

This is terminal sucktittude, the kind that is catching so you cannot just "embrace the suck." I must Get Gud; or die trying.

PCP Rifle  SOLD SPF ** ATG Urugan 2 700mm - .25 cal SPF **

**SPF**
Comes with all the accessories in the box, upgraded Huma Regulator, and a solid tune at 970fps for 34 gr slugs. Shoots better than I do.

$1000 Shipped to the US48

There are two seller notes *:
1. Small nick on left shroud (in pictures -- it's hard to see)
2. The red blocking gas cap (when you dump the air for reg tuning) had an unfortunate end but works with my redneck fix. You could also get a threaded cap at the hardware store to replace it or literally use your finger.

Reason for sale? The Taipain Vet works better for getting in and out of the deer stand.

Pics in the link: Originally purchased from Tony from talontunes: https://talontunes.com/shop/uragan-2/

Thanks for looking

EDIT TO ADD: I have a lot of ++ feedback on other forums selling higher dollar items. PM if you want refs or would like to talk on the phone

150yd Hatsan AT-44 NSA 17.5 .2165

Good morning all, just wanted to share. This was before I got my Atlas cal, I never thought I would own a $300 bipod! Now I can not imagine how I went so many years without one!!! Scope is a UTG 3-9, as I mentioned in another thread I bought rifle/scope for $190 it was my first PCP a.k.a. hit of crack hahaha. I am not the best shot, but I think all things considered not bad at that distance with this equipment. Take care and Godspeed all.

Snowpeak  Buck Rail PP750 aka the ‘Evo BR PP750’

I built a Buck Rail PP750 about a year ago, I sold to help play for my Vulcan 3 and regretted it ever since, so I’ve built another, im calling it the ‘Evo BR PP750’ love how Buck Rail now also print the hand guard in sintered nylon like the grip frame, it’s a massive improvement over the original.

I’ve also fitted a FX folding stock adaptor, it’s a big upgrade over the UTG one Terry was selling, zero movement when locked out. Lane Regulators had a sale so I’ve picked up one of their regs ready for re-seal and tune up 👍

Also she’s sporting a Spina 2.5-10x32 scope with Element XT mounts and a sweet little Blade Baby Fat Boy moderator

A shout out to Huma Regulators

Of all the Huma regulators I've installed, I've never had a single problem in many years. But my last purchase was a Impact/Crown Gen 3 reg and when installed, it leaked, very loudly I might add.
After assessing the situation, I emailed Huma on 10/28, and they requested some information which I sent them on 10/29. I quickly got an email that a new reg was on it's way. On the morning of 10/31 a UPS driver handed me the new reg. That's from Huma in the Netherlands to West Virginia in less than two days! The new reg works perfectly and I just can't thank them enough for their outstanding service.

This is just phenomenal service to their customers and I salute them for their attention to customer problems.

FX  FX IMPACT M4 SNIPER PELLETS & SLUGS .25 cal

Hi, I'm new to this forum. and live in Ireland .

I recently upgraded and purchased an FX Impact M4 Sniper. With my previous air rifle, I simply bought pellets and shot them. I'm finding it a bit of a minefield with pellets and slugs for the M4. This time, it seems a bit more technical. I'm hoping to find some useful information on this forum from like-minded people.

I have a few questions regarding my M4 Sniper. First, I'd like to shoot birds from 50 to 150 yards and rabbits from 100 to 200 yards with my .25-cal M4.

To get started I have purchased JSB Match Diablol Exact King Heavy 33,95gr. and H&N 34g HP ll slugs. (not even sure if these are the right ones for me but i was mad keen to just get out in the filed and try.)

my questions please are:
  1. everyone seems to have preferred ranges in their FPS which I understand. However, with my JSB for example is there a range of FPS I should be aiming for first before I fine turn to a FPS that suits my barrel. is there a bench mark FPS for each pellet and slug out there from the manufactures?
  2. once I have fine-tuned my pellets and Slugs separately can I easily shoot these on the same hunt without any major adjustments by adjusting my wheels?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Tango Sierra Notos Moderator

I may be an old Noob in air guns but if you don't have a Tango Sierra moderator on your OEM shroud Notos you are indeed a Luddite!

I have external No Mod Moderator and an early Subscriber design my buddy 3d printed for me from open source models and a Termidore Deciball, these work, but make my Notos look like a piece of canine anatomy:) The Tango Sierra is not only quieter but it is the same OD as the the OEM Notos shroud. I was shocked.

So yes, I have 5 moderator systems for my single OEM Notos: Deciball, Subscriber, No Mod, OEM Baffles and a Tango Sierra. Save yourself from yourselves and just buy the Tango Sierra.
