Crosman  1322 550fps for $1

OK, I spent more than a dollar as I bought the tooling in the past, but other than that, no additional aftermarket parts other than a bolt and nut as a solid pin.
Started life as stock left over parts in a bin from other 13xx escapades and I wanted to push the 1322 in its stock size to its max with no additional money even though i have enough extra parts to really hot rod it.
What I did
Transfer port open to .156
Barrel port opened to .156
Valve exhaust angle port with dremel
2.5 threads cut off of front valve half
Threads and internal rear valve lathe opened for more volume
Poppet shaft ground down
Poppet seal smoothed to increase flow
Inlet poppet drilled and pin pressed in To remove head space
Solid bolt for pivot pin
Rear cap drilled and tapped for RVA (Increased 15fps)
With 15.43 gamo
Pumps. Fps. Fpe
10. 469.3 7.54
12. 501.3 8.61
14. 532.9 9.73
16. 556.8 10.62


Kind of nice for a stock setup
I will finish dressing her up soon and testing to 20 Pumps but I don't see myself doing that regularly.

Introduction

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to reach out and say hey. I’m Tom, I live in Spokane Valley Washington. I am newer to the air, gunning sport, but at 57. I’ve been shooting guns for the last 45 years. I decided to get into airgun for multiple reasons, but primarily, the cost of ammunition.
I have the umarex gauntlet 2 and 30 caliber. And the Springfield M1 in 22 caliber and a handful of other brake barrels and CO2 powered air guns.
I would love to find other people around me that are interested in air, gunning, and where good places to shoot in Spokane can be found
It’s difficult to find shooting places as it is not legal to even shoot a BB gun in your backyard in Spokane County
Great to be here!!!

Brocock/BRK  Ghost makes compressor happy

Yep, my compressor has been taking extended vacations since getting the Ghost Carbine. Just want to share this for those looking to power-down their .22 Ghost to sub-12 FPE to maximize shot count. I shoot .22 CPHPs at 11.5 FPE and below is the amount of shots I'm able to achieve. I should mention that actual shot count is actually more than what is shown, but I just got tired and decided to stop at 50 BAR on both gauges.

Now, I'm sure many of you know that Crosman pellets are notorious for their inconsistent weights and sizes, so I discounted the shots for pellets that felt too loose in the barrel. They were actually shot, but I didn't count them; therefore, shot count should be even higher. (Of course, premium pellets like JSBs produce better stats.) That said, slowly closing the cocking levers on my PCPs to get a feel of the pellets' resistance as they are chambered is part of my shooting technique. It also allows me to call my shots. 😉

RTI  Another P-3 and a shout out to Talon Tunes

Finally made my decision. Went with the RTI P-3 and a new dealer based on the recommendation of some on here. Talon Tunes is good to go. He actually called me to ask a few questions about the order, we probably ended up just chatting for about 15 minutes. Never had anyone or anyplace do that before and I buy a-lot of stuff. The order came well packaged to boot. In a general comparison to the PCP this is supplanting as my farm pest rig it is built like a tank. Now I just need the weather to improve...

Air Arms  Any Air Arms S510 owners here?

Years ago, I had a Air Arms S410, and I really enjoyed it.
The quality was top notch!
These days, I dont hear of too many S510 owners out here, and I wonder why?
Are they still a quality rifle?
Anyone own a S510 FAC Compact?
Id love to see A.A. offer a bottle version, with a foster style fill, and just a little more power!

Vulcan 3 Muffler!!!

How are you all...hope everyone is doing well & enjoying a productive day of Airgunning!!!

I can definitely use some advice/opinions or both....I recently bought A Vulcan 3 .30 ...it came with an AGT Muffler....it definitely quiets it some but i need it mouse fart quiet...does anyone have advice or something they would be willing to part with that would work for me... it would be much appreciated friends...thank you in advance!!

FX  Fx streamline, Fx quality?

Hi all. A little while ago I bought a Fx streamline which had very little use. These guns are very expensive which is why I am bringing this point to you. I have customised my pcp as that is what I do for a hobby. while working on the gun I, very disapointedly, came across some issues, the first was the pellet probe and the second was the air port adjuster wheel. They both leaked badly when taking a shot. I had to remidy this by machining my own custom pellet probe, slightly oversized and tapered so that it would squeeze on the breech seal tighter, also I included an aditional o-ring on the probe shaft, sitting just inside the breech, completely sealing the breech. I know that this is an issue with many pcp's as the pellet rides over the o-ring each time its loaded but this was losing a lot of air.
As for the port adjuster wheel, it too was losing a lot of air, both from the inner part and outer. I don't think there's an excuse for this one, its just bad quality control. The o-rings needed to fit slightly tighter when assembled, there was next to no resistance from the seals when installing the parts together and the air would easily escape when taking a shot. As I said this could have been prevented easily with just a little more care and attention. I resolved this issue also by finding better sized o-rings and deburring any holes for the o-rings to ride over easier. Problem sorted.
The main point here is that these problems should not be there on ANY pcp but especially such an expensive pcp. By the way just incase anyone was thinking if I tried just replacing the o-rings for new fx ones, I did and that made no difference as it was a matter of size and tolerances. I managed this work as I do a lot of this kind of thing but I know that many would not be able to or even have the tools to get the job done. As this is a manufacturing error there will be a lot of people out there with an expensive pcp that's leaking like a sieve and the performance drastically affected. I don't know about the dreamline but the early ones were very similar to my streamline and am sure they too have the same problems, maybe they realised the errors and corrected them - I don't know.
Anyway I thought I would bring this to attention. Happy airgunning.

Is anyone else having trouble when logged in?

For the last few days, the forum is moving super slow for me. I have to constantly reload the pages, log out and log back in. Everything is taking forever. It's worse than a dial up connection.

Seems like it works fine for other people, and when I'm not logged in, I can browse the site at a normal speed.

So my question is, is this some sort of shadow ban or something? Am I being throttled back for my choice of opinion on certain topics on here?

I've received no messages from the staff that I've been banned or I'm limited etc. Just find it odd it's only happening when I'm logged in. I've cleared all my cookies and have tried 3 different browsers. It's definitely related to my account.

I've also emailed the staff and never got a response. If this I'd an attempt to get me to leave the forum, that sucks, because my patience is running thin and it's eventually going to work and I'll just move on.

I like this forum and pretty much everyone on here. Sure we have some differences of opinions sometimes, but this life. I do think I provide people with good info when they need it, I have an excellent feedback score, and I have a pretty good sense of humor... which is probably my downfall. Some people, usually cranky uptight people, don't get my humor.

Oh well, I'll hopefully see you guys around and get back to full speed. If this slow mo pace continues, I won't be back.

Taken care everyone,

The Next Breakthrough in airguns

I had the privilege of shooting my friend's newly acquired Huben GK1 pistol. Needless to say, this thing is hugely impressive in many ways such as trigger, rifle like power and shot count.

The thing that impressed me most is how efficient it is in air use. With reasonable power settings, you can get 45 shots per fill in the .22 version or 30 in the .25. With a pissant 85cc air tank, that's phenominal! Whatever they did to control the use of air is truly remarkable IMO. This should be a que to the big airgun manufacturers to start developing their guns for more efficient air useage. Many, if not most, rifles on the current market (higher power and larger caliber) can get only 40-60 shots per fill using 480 or 580 cc air tanks. There sure is a lot of room for development here. If I were a large air rifle manufacturer, I would beg, borrow, or steal a GK1 and tear it apart to see how they did it.

So FX has released a new teaser video. I'm guessing they will shot it at Shot Show next week?
From what is shown in the video I get the impression that the airtank will be around the barrel like on the M24.
Does anyone recognize the stock? I feel like I have seen it before.
Correct me if I'm wrong but is it this chassi? ACC ELITE CHASSIS SYSTEM

Not pistolas…

It’s amusing to me seeing some taking the buttstocks off of “rifles” and calling them “pistols” for field target shooting. Why not simply a “buttstockless” rifles division? Unless you can “holster” the arm it “isn’t” a pistol. Just because you take the buttstock off of a long arm, does not make it a pistol…. “Pistol field target” a sham game I will never play… A more honest approach would have Pistol Field Target reflect what a “pistol” “is” a holsterable “sidearm”. Thoughts?

VEVOR Air Compressor review

Hello everyone.
I have this compressor I want to give my feedback on.
Vevor 4500PSI.
Been pretty happy with it, love the fact that it's 120volt/12Volt, I can just take it with me to the field and refill my tank, love that fact.
Also they did improve cooling from previous model that only had one fan, now it has two, they are little loud but they do cool well. I can fill my Crown tank at once without getting it too hot. Auto shut off also a good thing.
Can't say anything bad about it.
Here is the quick video I did on that subject, discount core in the video description if you thinking of getting one.

One thing I need is to get secondary air/water separator, if you have recommendations, please post it below.
Thanks again.

Anschutz  German tunnel front sights

There's been much discussion about iron sights on the forum lately, so a few notes about tunnel front sights may be of interest.

This photo shows two familiar vintage German front sights. They have three basic parts:
+ tunnel housing that clamps to grooves at the muzzle
+ sighting elements in the form of flat metal inserts with side tabs for alignment
+ threaded sleeve that clamps the insert into the tunnel

This simple design permits inserts having different sighting elements - tapered or straight posts, sidebar or lollipop rings, etc. - to be easily interchanged.


Over the years, German sights used three different standard thread sizes for the sleeves. These will interchange between makes, and enabled the development of aftermarket accessories that likewise fit any sight tunnel with the same sleeve thread.

The earliest sleeve size used an M17 thread (17.0 x 0.5mm), which Diana and Weihrauch still use on sporting rifle sights. Anschutz later developed the slightly larger M18 thread (18.0 x 0.5mm), which remains very common. Most new top-of-the-line 10-meter guns use a yet larger M22 thread (22.0 x 0.5mm). Aftermarket accessories are no longer made for M17 sights, but there is a world of interesting goodies available for M18 and M22.

Now here is where some confusion comes: THE SLEEVE THREAD AND THE METAL INSERT SIZES ARE DIFFERENT THINGS! The tunnels have an internal "shoulder" - slightly SMALLER in diameter than the sleeve thread - into which the insert nests:


Therefore, SLEEVES of the same size DO interchange between different manufacturers' sights, and take the same accessories. But with a few exceptions, the INSERTS are proprietary and DO NOT interchange between makes, since their diameters and side tabs differ. Here's a random selection of what I have on hand:


Note in the photo two interesting exceptions to the proprietary rule:

+ Walther: they pioneered flat metal inserts in the 1950's, and Diana and FWB copied their M17 insert pattern verbatim - even though FWB has an M18 tunnel and sleeve! But the three made different types and sizes of posts and rings, making them fun to interchange (Diana's beaded post is a personal plinking fave).

+ Anschutz: their M18 inserts, with their distinctive asymmetrical tab pattern, are almost an informal industry standard, used by other manufacturers. They offer many different post and ring elements, and there are many aftermarket inserts and other accessories. Their older tunnels fit perfectly centered on Weihrauch barrels, too.

As far as I know, the Weihrauch insert pattern remains strictly proprietary. Shooters are limited to the six element shapes they have offered for many years; you can't use them in any other brand of sight; and no other brand of inserts fits.

With what airgun(s) do you get your best accuracy?

In the area of your 'typical,' most frequent shooting, with what airgun(s) are you able to achieve the most accurate results? I shoot inside my home at thirty feet almost exclusively, and the airguns with which I do my very best shooting are listed below, in order of results from best on down. All of them are variable pumpers with only their 'stock' iron sights, unless otherwise noted, and interestingly, the accuracy I can get with the first two is good enough that it's just about a toss-up as to which allows me to get the VERY best results:

1) Crosman .177 caliber, 1300KT custom carbine, with 18" barrel, black muzzle brake w/post front sight and Crosman/Williams notched rear sight. rather than the more common Williams peeper (simple notch and blade open, or the more commonly used term, iron, sights happen to be my overwhelming personal favorite for aiming, since they're most likely going to be available on almost anything I encounter).
2) Seneca Dragonfly MK2 in .177 caliber (my .22 MK2 requires far too much 'Kentucky Windage' to be reliably accurate, because of elevation limitations in the rear sight assembly).
3) Benjamin 397s, an excellent shooter with very nice iron sights, shooting from a rest. Without the rest, my results almost certainly would be different, because of the buttstock comb interfering with free-standing aim. I can get roughly the same accuracy with my 392s, but I prefer the smaller holes and reactive impact halos of .177 caliber pellets, especially for shooting groups, so my 392s basically is relegated to pest control duty only.
4) Crosman C2023 Anniversary Edition in .22 caliber, with a Williams peep rear sight & blade/fiber optic front sight, allowing me to easily get surprisingly (to me) fine accuracy. I would prefer a .177 caliber version, with notch and blade sights, which actually is doable, using available aftermarket Crosman parts and rudimentary gunsmithing skills, but for now it's .22 only (and it was expensive enough as is, when it comes down to it). ;-)
5) Winchester 1977XS; an excellent, inexpensive, higher-quality remake of the Daisy 880, with a notch rear & blade front sight. The rear tip of the front blade has a small, hi-vis white dot imprinted to aid aiming.
6) Daisy 880 & Daisy 901 -- very inexpensive but very accurate air rifles at 30 feet with only iron sights. The all-black, kit version of the 880 (5880) has a blade front sight, the same as that used on the Winchester 1977XS, which I much prefer to the basic 880, which is equipped with a blade and fiber optic front sight. The 901 uses the same sights as the 880.
7) Crosman 1377 American Classic pistol with shoulder stock, with the rear sight adjusted to its notch, rather than peep hole, side.
8) Crosman 1322 and 2289 Drifter carbines w/attached shoulder stock, with notched rear and blade front sight on the 1322 and a blade/fiber optic front sight on my 2289 Drifters.
9) Crosman 2100b Classic and Legacy 1000 are quite nice, although each requires more pumping than any other pumper, without producing more power (make that 'more pumping than MOST other pumpers; my Dragonfly MK2's need fifteen (!) for max power). I find each can be shot with roughly equal accuracy, but the awful rear sight and large front sight blade w/fiber-optic implant on both make precision more difficult than it should be: it's almost impossible to adjust their poorly designed rear sights precisely enough to get the windage perfect, and there's also too little allowance for elevation. Even when dialed-in (as much as that's possible), sometimes I can shoot them quite well, but sometimes I can't. IF these were the only air rifles I owned, I probably would be able to get reliably repeatable, reasonably fine accuracy with them, but they're just different enough from everything else I shoot regularly that it's more hit or miss than it needs to be. There really are no advantages to the differences between these and most other (just about ALL other) air rifles with variable pump pneumatic power supplies, at least, none I can discern. Still, the build quality and capability are good enough to warrant keeping and using.
10) My other seventeen or so airguns (rifles, primarily, but even my pistols have rifled barrels). :)

Basically, pretty much everything from numbers 1 through 9 (as well as others not listed) is something I can shoot with the expectation of hitting the thing at which I'm aiming. It's more a matter of how easy that is that determined the ranking. The easier it is, the better I do. The better I do, the easier it gets, and the more often I shoot that airgun, which improves how I do even more, and the cycle goes 'round & 'round and reinforces itself. There are some exceptions. For example, when it comes to my American Classic Crosman .177 and .22 caliber air pistols with shoulder stocks, often I can get fantastic, very accurate results with the supplied sights, but simply not as easily as I can with the airguns listed before them. It's about the same with my remaining unlisted pumper, break barrel and CO2 airguns (no PCPs), excepting in particular my Crosman M4-177, M4-look-alike pumper. Unfortunately, for me the accuracy I can get with it is up in the air, for the most part. If I'm not totally and completely zoned-in, the cheap plastic 5-round, manually operated magazines and the poorly molded peep sight are too imprecise and finicky in use for me to stay focused enough to reliably shoot the thing with fine accuracy. Sometimes sure, but most times, no (somewhat similar to my Crosman 2100 and 1000 results: again, if it were my only airgun...).

My two gas-piston breakers are VERY accurate on a rest, but really too powerful for indoors, and without a rest, one of them requires unique efforts so unlike anything else I shoot that I don't really want to account for it, so usually they sit in the rack. Also, three of my five CO2 airguns (my Umarex 850M2, Sheridan 2260MB and Beeman QB78s) allow me to shoot and achieve EXCEPTIONAL accuracy, as good or better than that I can get from my best pumpers, but I simply don't shoot with them nearly as often. Mainly, that's due to not being able to shoot them with anything but their full power, but also because of the necessary wastage when I'm not shooting long enough to fully deplete two full or one large gas cartridges. Also, I forgot to mention my Crosman C362, with which I easily get quite good accuracy, with its stock Crosman rear sight turned over to the notch side (the front blade is very nice too, IMO), although I did force myself to gain proficiency with the peep side too, as the rear sight was set on arrival. I'd judge the accuracy to be about equal to that of #5, my Winchester 77xs -- I much prefer its front blade to the 'fiber optic' sight on the C2023 and Drifter carbines, and I shoot it often enough that I'm able to get quite good, reliably accurate results with it. The C362 is a very nice, very affordable, pretty powerful (compared to most other pumpers) little carbine, and my favorite pumper for most of last year! I'm probably leaving out others, but that's it for me. How about y'all?
