Hi,

I've been shooting centerfire the last 3 years, so I haven't been keeping up with Airgun developments, but recently my last two PCPs (RAW HM1000 and a FX Crown Continuum) and a bunch of my powder burners were liberated from my storage unit. I was storing them while our house was being remodeled and I thought they would be safer in storage than in my house with all of the construction crews coming and going, but that proved to be incorrect. At least it is all insured.

I still have all of my filling equipment and a ton of 25 Cal ammo, so I will probably buy a least one new PCP. It will be used primarily for practice and pest control. The FX DRS Pro/MDT is interesting because I run a MDT ACC Elite Chassis on my primary PB competition rifle, but it's expensive and has a very limited shot count. I'm also considering the FX King (probably would buy a synthetic and swap out the stock for a Saber Tac Chassis) and maybe an Impact. I owned one of the early Impacts which I really liked, but I ultimately sold it because I spent more time tinkering with it than shooting it.

I'm assuming the newer Impacts are probably a much more stable platform than when I previously had one, but I'd love to hear from some folks that are currently running Impact M3s or M4s. I know they shoot great, but I want to be able to take an air rifle out of the safe and know I can pop a pest with it even if I haven't touched the rifle in months. That wouldn't have been the case with my first Impact. That was what I loved about the Crown. It could sit for months and would never lose pressure and would shoot just like it did when I put it in the safe.

If you have personal experience with any of these rifles, I'd greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts. I'm probably leaning towards the Impact right now primarily for it's versatility and accuracy if it's not going to be a maintenance headache.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

There are a lot of bottles, reservoirs, z-valves and regulators selling at Ali Express.
But where can I get another parts such as trigger mechanism and breech, for example?
To made by myself? Or maybe somewhere I can buy it?
I hate to make trigger mechanism

Have no use for these, some came off of rifles I upgraded to larger CF cylinders.

I just bought a m4 impact sniper a couple days ago from a local dealer close to me. I haven't even shot it yet but I was playing with it when realized it has a 480cc bottle. I checked my receipt and he charged me for a sniper. I measured the barrel and it is 700 mm so that is correct and it has the moderator included. I was just wondering if there was some version that came with a 480cc bottle or if I need to contact my dealer and get it swapped out for a 580cc bottle. I don't want to be that guy but I also spent over two grand on a new rifle so I kind of want to get what I paid for.
Also the case was cut out perfect for the 480 bottle and not a longer one so I don't know if that means anything or helps

Looking to see if there’s any interest on this fine modified Shorty of a beast.

It’s a 30 caliber Western sidewinder with a shortened crowned 350 mm barrel. Upon initial modification behemoth was clipping a little bit so I bored out the suppressor so that Rounds would clear for unaffected accuracy. Overall length is about 27 inches. Comes with original sidewinder bag. Shoots 47 grain NSA slugs at about 825 with a high degree of accuracy. As most of you know, it’s select fire so it’s semi automatic or fully automatic. All modification work on this piece has been beautifully done. Prism scope not included in pricing. Looking for 1600 shipped. PayPal friends and family.

Hello I'm new to the website but have been using a air rifle for a while now I only have 2 break barrels but I want to get into PCP so I can start hunting and target shooting at further range if anyone has any recommendations for a rifle under 600$ and pellets id greatly appreciate it. I would like to try .22 or 25 depending on ammo price

Do I zero the scope and air rifle straight out of the box and then do my tuning to preferred pellet/slugs.
thanks in advance.

Hello all,

New guy/first post. Was perusing the videos posted under how to fill tanks and in one of them the guy is basically saying don’t buy a smaller compressor unless you also get a “proper” water filter that costs around $400.

I am familiar with moisture in compressors, but I figured dedicated PCP pumps like the Air Venturi RovAir 4500 I purchased would have that covered. So now that I know that’s not the case, short of spending $400 on a filter what do y’all do to mitigate moisture when using a similar compressor?

Aside from that concern, I caught an acute case of airgun GAS quickly after seeing how much my daughter enjoyed shooting in the backyard with me (kinda lame excuse I know, but she really does like it and it’s a good excuse!). So I sold some safe queens and acquired a Bulldog .357, an Avenge-X Tactical in .22/.25 and a Reximex RPA .22 pistol.

Been into shooting sports for many years and I reload for every caliber I shoot (except for 22LR) and also cast my own boolits. But I really like the notion of just casting with no lube/gas checks needed, cans shipped to my door with no NFA garbage, and shooting with the whole family in the backyard!

Cheers to all, and thanks for reading.

Got son & law x-mass gift a notes in today. Picked up Crossman Premier, hollow points and Ruger pointed pellet 17 grains. To try in it. I’m looking for a cheap ffp scope that is compact and lightweight. Any suggestions? And what off the self pellets work good? This is his first pcp so I’m setting it up for him. Mainly plinking in back yard and little squirrel hunting. Thanks for info!

I have two air rifles: a 43 year old Crosman 766 American Classic. I bought it new and it's never needed anything except 3 drops of light machine oil on the tiny felt patch that is easily accessible.
Recently I bought a HW30s. I read on this forum 30 to 45 minutes daily and although I started with no knowledge of airguns but I am learning here. I see post about a wide variety of topics: repair questions seem to be frequent. I bought this rifle for plinking - which I love to do. I don't hunt or target compete or anything but plinking. I learned here to keep check on the three screws that usually loosen from "springer" vibrations and sure enough mine were loose and the front sight as well - I tightened them but I will get blue loc-tite for them.
I don't enjoy working on things - including my air rifle so I saw a forum topic on this web-site, "How to Maintain An Airgun", so I clicked on it and it sent me to You Tube where I watched a moderator and three older men that are recognized for their expertise with AirGuns. They said they seldom clean their guns until they drop in performance. They had different thought on the different types of AirGuns but for Springers one of them says if his rifle is shooting good he never cleans it. I was really surprised at this!
Other than putting blue loc-tite on the three screws and shooting high quality pellets I will likely not do any maintenance until / if my HW30s developed a problem. I haveI only put about 400 pellets through it. I will likely shoot about 450 - 500 pellets a month. Do any of you choose to do no routine manintenance on your springer Air Rifle until it drops in performance?
PS - when I look down the bore of my rifle from either end it is shinny silver with the spiral rifling very clean, end to end.

Has anyone used them, and if so which would you recommend? I am thinking of adding a bottle reg to my Reximex Throne as the STD item is abysmal but I will also need to find an adapter for the block to the reg as most seem to be G1/2 - 14 and I would need a male M18 x1.5 at both ends.

Amadeo Rissi SA Air Rifle .177 Brazilian airgun from the 70's. Worn finish on the wood, very bright excellent bore & pitted metal on the exterior. It is easy to cock, works as it should and seems to prefer the heaver pellets. CPH shoot about 490fps & JSB 8.44 4.53 at about 555fps. Weighs just under 5# and easy to cock. $85 shipped to where legal in the lower 48 states US. Preferred payment types are USPS Money Order, bank MO or PayPal F&F..

This is the MAC1 USFT #86 which means its one of the early ones built when each rifle barrel was hand selected to ensure the top accuracy! Tim at MAC1 does not think it has one of the coveted holy grail rare twist rate barrels. This rifle is one of the low pressure (1500psi-1250PSI) rifles and high volume air tube which eliminates any need for a regulator. It also has the canted Right hand grip which makes it much more ergonomic for FT or Benchrest. The shot curve fill is at 1500 and shot down to 1250. It is marked off on the gauge.

A Great package for FT or benchrest!
This package will be shipped insured in a hard case.

Discovery Scope/Night Vision

Selling my Panthera, just have too many. 25 calibers. It is in like new condition. Comes with 2 barrel sleeves, A 1:25 and a 1:18. Also including a single shot loader. Scope and bipod not included. $1500 TYD CONUS. PayPal or Venmo or check

I modified the Tote after church today. I didn't like the look of the ends of the rope handles. So, I made a thick dowel "Washer" and epoxied to the end of each rope. So, the rope ends are whipped (wrapped with archery D-Loop), heat melted, and capped with the wooden "washer".

I also wanted to add a piece for those who have a stock that they'd like to sit higher in the butt end. So, I made a disc and covered the top with leather that fits in the area of the butt stock if needed.






I finished this Air Rifle Tote earlier today. It is made of kiln dried KY Coffee Tree. Kentucky Coffee Tree is very rarely available at my local saw mill. In fact, this is the only time I've used this wood for any project. It is tightly grained and easy to work with. The wood looks a bit like sassafras except heavier. Also looks a bit like white ash and about the same weight. I will be making two more in sassafras soon.

The bottle slot is 63 mm in diameter and holds a standard 60mm bottle very securely. It fits my BRK Ghose as pictured and my Taipan Vet 2 nicely. The adjacent set of holders is for shooting sticks or tripod.

My build process: Lumber from saw mill (kiln dried), I mill (square on jointer, plane on planer, table saw and miter saw to finish milling, drill press to cut gun holders, and band saw to finish gun holders,

Features:

• About 20"x 9"x8"
• Weight: 13 Pounds
• All wood is 4/4 (1" thick).
• Joints are dowel (14 total).
• Thick Leather padded protection for air gun
• Laquer finish
• Beveled edges
• 1/2" Rope Handles whipped and melted on the ends to prevent unraveling
• Eastern red cedar blocking inside corners for added strength

$110 + 15 Shipping = $125 Total (PP or Money order)

Note: If someone wants one custom made these are options you can select:

1. Wood Species if available (Walnut, cherry, oak, sassafras, ash, eastern cedar)
2. Diameter of airgun air tube
3. Rope handles or none

Been sitting on this rifle for a few weeks now with very little time between work, weather, and the lack of daylight to really tune her in and find out what she likes. Epic Two with .22 700mm LW. So far the MRD shallow are showing the best results right around 970fps. Tomorrow I have the whole day and relatively light 5 mph winds to deal with and really give her a go. Stay tuned folks.

We would like to introduce a new model of our airgun Altaros M24 TCS

The Altaros M24 TCS is an upgraded version of the original Altaros M24 rifle where the plastic stock has been replaced with the new high-quality fully adjustable Altaros Tactical Chassis System.

This stock is made from high-grade aluminum, provides extreme rigidity and high shooting comfort which contributes to significantly better accuracy.

Altaros Tactical Chassis System can be easily installed as a replacement for the original plastic stock on your Altaros M24.

More information about the new rifle and stock can be found here:
https://www.militaryairgun.com/domu/274-altaros-m24-tcs-25-aluminum-chassis.html


video for replacing the original plastic stock with the new Altaros Tactical Chassis System here:

If I could do it over again I wouldn’t buy most of the stuff I bought and sold. I would’ve been fine with a Talon p, Condor SS and a Talon ss. All simple guns that don’t cost an arm and a leg with lifetime warranty. None are regulated and all are low pressure. Yes they’re single shot but that’s all you get hunting anyway. Remember these work for my life style this may not work for everyone. Did I mention 3 o rings?

Unlike my others this rifle has yet to deisel?

I got about 150 rounds through it when all of a sudden the barrel closed rough. I lubed the pivot points and pin, then back to smooth as glass. Three more shots, then I felt a difference in the cock stroke, so I let the pressure back off and put it away for the day.

I guess I'm disassembling it for a proper lube job.

Will I void warranty?
What are the premium lubes for this job?
Should I just do a kit now?

Hi all, I am curious to know the power of airguns in the different countries of the members of this forum in its non-FAC version.
If there is any country where there is no power limit you can also mention it.
In Spain the power is limited to 24.2 joules (17.8 fpe).
Come on guys, please answer.

I purchased this .25 taipan standar with the intention of change the barrel to a 15mm TJ 1-22 twist. Why .? Because they suck . I have never found a review of the .25 that at least was some what close to the accuracy of the .22 . I personally have had 2 including one of the first original long and it simply can't shoot the 34g pellets in a aceptable way and the 25gr where at least aceptable.. it was really rare for me because I have shot cheap guns like the hatsan or krall and they have shot way better.. THIS least batch of taipan have won the barrel lottery it shoots Great almost any pellets you throw at it including the 34gr wich make the gun as silent as my .22 .. and I was testing at 94y + with pellets .. I'm more than happy with this purchase this kind of acurracy was what i being looking for in a .25 for the last 6 years.. OF this las batch there is only one left .. at only $1,100 what a bargain.

So im torn between Umarex Notos or Gamo Urban - i like nice stuff so while i might upgrade to a compact FX impact m4 down the road im really looking for something to get my fingers wet with - to see if this is my thing or not.... not new to shooting hunting etc.... and was looking for quiet and light weight .22 air rifle/carbine that doesn't break the bank and has a magazine of sorts (not single shot). And by light weight i mean sporty - something that can be shot accurately off-hand while standing up - not a bench gun. I had a rws side cocking rifle years ago (Diana Model 48 .22 ) and i swear that MF was heavier than my .308 - it was terrible. Both the Notos and the Urban seem to fit the bill and im sure both are
quieter than 90db which is about what im getting from a 22LR cci CB cap out of an 18" brl - dont need to scare / alarm neighbors... mostly looking for squirrel and opossum control in my urban farm... but nice if there was a way to pump it up manually off grid if needed . i think both of these PCPs also offer hand pump options.

I guess im wondering or rather thinking why doesnt the Urban have a regulator - wouldnt this make the gun shoot more consistent along with the pressure curve? Ive been reading here though that many like 80+% say the urban is more accurate and or a better option - and im trying to figure out why?

is the regulator on the notos not adjustable? is it the shorter barrel? Build quality? I like the look of the notos but would like something accurate from 5-100 yards

Ive seen posts of Frankenstein guns : notos frames with gamo urban barrels - what does this give you (besides a headache when some seal or some part needs replacement)? Interesting ...but IDK...

I have two R7s, both in .177, and they are my most enjoyable plinking guns. Both guns were purchased new about 10 or 12 years ago. A new ARH kit and vortek piston seal was installed in one of my R7s about six months ago, and it is shooting brilliantly. I opened the other R7 to install the same ARH kit and vortek seal combination last week. This gun had not been opened in 7-8 years and had a vortek pg2 kit inside with at least 15k shots. At some point in this gun's lifetime, the rear of the piston was making contact with the compression chamber. I don't recall when this happened, and suspect I just attributed any roughness in cocking to a 'breaking in' process after I installed the vortek pg2 kit years ago .

The problem I'm left with is that there is a rough/scratched area in the compression tube. These scratches are farther back in the compression tube than the piston's stroke when fired. But they do present a problem when trying to install a new piston seal because I have to push the seal past this rough area and there is high potential for the seal to be nicked or cut.

Can I use sandpaper on a dowel, or some other process, to remove these scratches in the compression tube? Or is the tube just toast? Any input on how others have fixed scratches or abrasions in a compression tube would be appreciated. I don't have a lathe and my plan B is to buy another compression tube from Chambers if there is no viable fix. Thanks.

This is an incredible bipod for a long-range shooter.

I purchased this bipod and it was never used in the field. I mounted my Air Rifle and soon realized that for my purposes it was overkill. The unit is in near new condition and functions properly.

According to Accu-Tac, “The Hydro-Bipod is our most innovative bipod yet! This model is meant to cater to long-range and extreme long-range users, but will also be a great tool for any precision-driven user. The Hydro-Bipod has the ability to cant, and the center hub has a hydraulic vertical adjustment option that can be adjusted with an X-handle control that pushes fluid through a hose. The legs have outward, forward, and backward leg position options, as well as the option to extend the leg for added height.”

According to Accu-Tac, the bipod is sod out.

It will be carefully packed and shipped in its original case.

The original price is $1,170.

Reduced to $750 net to me including shipping CONUS.
