Yard sale marauder fun!

So Saturday a week ago I was driving home after a hard week when we passed a yard sale. I glanced at it and noticed some guns- one that looked like it had to be a benjamin marauder. Now mind you I was in no shape to be buying another airgun, I was waiting for the notos to arrive at the time. But ive got to stop 🛑. It won’t cost anything to look 👀. So I walk up to it and sure enough, a gen 2 .22 marauder synthetic, brand new box and paperwork included. Never been shot.
WELL!
So I look at some other things he’s got, buy a few things, and as I’m “about ready to walk away” I ask him;” hey whataya want for this”. After explaining that it was a PCP airgun and that it was a 600 dollar gun he said he’d take 250 for it.
GULP!
I said I’d do 200, and prepared to walk away.
I did, with the marauder under my arm.
So I bring it home and start shooting it. I’m pleasantly surprised, they’ve improved this over the gen 1. It’s quieter, much tamer shot cycle and more efficient. Great shot count too. GREAT!
So I’ve been seeing here on agn how some have been doing their own diy spray paint hydro-dip. I really like the looks of that stuff. I’m gonna try that on my cheap yard sale marauder.
So after watching a bunch of youtube videos and a visit to the hardware store to get the spay paint I go ahead and try it. The first try didn’t come out as good as i liked it. Neither the second. But after three try’s below is what it looks like. I guess I can live with that.
Now to let it cure awhile, get a scope mounted and sighted in! I wonder if I can tune it up and get it to shoot 23 gr. NSA’s?

Unsolvable Notos Problems

I am not sure if others have had this problem but I was at the public range the other day and met a fellow air gunner. He had a very nice setup and some wonderfully made P-Rods with some custom tuning. We shared some stories and really hit it off. I had my chronograph out and was testing my Notos at 50 yards against a paper target. He saw my results and asked what tuning I had done to my Notos.

Long story short it kind of broke down from there when I told him it was stock and I only spent $260. I am not sure if the sun was in his eyes or a piece of dust but I thought I saw him tear up a little.

The Notos is a problem :(

Tuning  Just to test the skill of my machinist

Although the barrel holder is a technical part that should be made on CNC machine or through casting.

Just to check the expertise of my machinist I showed him a barrel hold of M3 and asked if he can make one like this.

He confidently said that he can make it on his ordinary manual laith machine.

I gave him the sample.

A few days latter he gave me the part and I am amazed on his workmanship.

Below is the video showing his made part just to share his skill.


Bhaur

Notos getting squirrely

Have I mentioned this gun rocks?

Ok, I digress... bagged a couple early morning nutters. Opening day here in MO, but these were here at the house. I might go later if the bugs clear out and the honey do list is done.

Ok, so first squirrel I noticed in my front tree, she was walking a branch slowly, and sniffing/licking it. I think following the males scent trail. I hadn't seen him yet, but I sent a 21 grain cuda into her neck and spine. She dropped DRT, and not a pass thru...

PERFECT. All that energy dumped into her and it was about a 20 yard shot. I went and retrieved her, and she's a good size rat, gunna cook her later. I barely got back to my porch, and I hear the male scratching around.

He was definitely aware something happened, but it was such a quiet shot, all I heard was the thud of the pellet. This guy was all over for a bit, but then he settled down and came down to the base where she had landed.

He kept bobbling around, but I finally just took a quarter vital shot, and he dropped with just a little roll and twitch. Hit him right front shoulder, and it exited in front of left leg. Soon as I rolled him over, a certain AC/DC song popped into my head!

Good luck on the hunt everyone!

  • Question
Where to buy a 3lt tank?

I am looking for a shop that has 3 lt tank and valve for charging air guns. Went through all the usual sources. Pyramid air, Utah airguns, high pressure pneumatic, Air tanks for sale, AoA, etc.
I really don’t want to buy from Amazon, rather support an airgun shop.
I see some 100 cu in ones which are a little too small then jumps right to 74-100 cubic feet . Nothing in between.
I want to use my Hill compressor without putting too much load on it for each charge.
3 liters seems to be a good amount for enough charges for 3-6 card competition.

3/4" tube scopes

Stumbled across this and figured id post them for guys looking for a 3/4 tube scope . Seems to claim lifetime warranty .. who knows?

Anyway 3/4 tube and rings that may fit a old multi pump or somthing ..

The stars finally aligned

It was a comment I'd made several times in regards to always wanting to add both a Beeman R1 and a Beeman R10 in .20 cal to the R7 and R9 I already have. Not long after I said it the last time, I got a PM that simply said when the stars finally align, PM me, I have your rifle.
Fast forward a couple months, more saving in the gun fund and my girlfriend asking if I'd like a little help since an anniversary present she'd planned went bust when whatever she was trying to buy me got discontinued (she still won't say what it was). I PM'd the gentleman to ask if I was close, he gave me a number he thought was very fair and I agreed and this arrived in Friday's mail.
Mint condition, 1989 built, Santa Rosa Beeman R10 .20 caliber. I don't have enough Thank You's to give @kingfisher61 for that PM or for selling it me and beyond humbled he'd trust me to be it's next caretaker, but I'll do my best to try.
Thank You, JC aka @kingfisher61.

Shot My First FT Match

Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Club (University Place, WA) hosted its second FT match of the 2023 season today. I got to shoot this match and finally learned what it is like. Got lots of good pointers from the experienced club members and other shooters at this match.

Thanks to Dave Brown for all the efforts in organizing and the pre-match prep work needed to put this event on.

If anyone in the Tacoma Washington area want to shoot in a very professionally and competently conducted match, contact Dave via email: [email protected]

ATN X-Sight 5: Why Has Thou Forsaken Me?

If you purchase ATN X-SIGHT 5, you have a nickname that you may not be aware of.

Beta Tester.

But after spending (wasting) a considerable amount of my Saturday afternoon, I think a more appropriate term would be Alpha Tester, or dare I say sucker.

Please don't take what I'm about to say as arrogance, but I do product development for a living, as a Sr. Software Engineer and Product Owner. If I let a product go to production in this state, I'm certain, I'd be looking for a new job by lunchtime.

Listen to the long list of problems:

  • RAV Calibration doesn't work in most cases. I was literally banging on the butt of my rifle until my hand hurt to try and get a reading to register. After several reboot sequences and lock ups, I got one reading to register once, but not enough to get RAV to calibrate.
  • RAV doesn't work either. This isn't new to ATN, they didn't even use their own scopes to generate the 240p fps marketing videos, as the video is not from the perspective of the shooter. I guess they think we are just stupid for them to even try that one.
  • Audio doesn't consistently record in all video resolutions. Only a few seconds of audio is recorded in all modes except for the mid quality 60p mode. This is a rookie mistake, and probably turning off power to the mic pre-amps and they are being powered by the filter capacitors for a few seconds.
  • Video quality is okay, but just okay, not great. This is because they will record video in 4K resolution, but the sensor is only slightly bigger than 4K, which means that they are doing lossy interpolation, and making pixels up based on a nearest neighbor average or some similar filtering algorithm. But if you switch the video resolution to 1920ish, you still have soft quality because now they do line skipping of the sensor instead of down sampling. Ideally, to do digital zoom, like most all digital scopes that do not use a variable optical zoom system, the sensor needs to be a higher resolution than the delivered video at max magnification. This ain't that, not even close. They would need a 40MP sensor to do 4x base magnification and still ship 4K that is real detail.
  • The number one rule of product development is be careful what features you support, because you will have to include them for eternity. ATN must didn't get the memo, because you can no longer play back video or review photos in their new flagship
  • The headlining feature of generate your own reticle is nice. It would be nicer if imported reticles persisted after a power cycle.
  • Just to show how bad this firmware is, we are once again given a product that can't keep time. I had a Sony Walkman that managed to keep time even after Y2K, so ATN, whatever you're doing, you're doing it wrong.
  • Overall lack of effort. Icons are present the first time you enter a menu, but the second time, the icon is missing, or even worse stacked on top of another icon. I was at the range for 3 hours and was forced to do a hard reboot 3 times, so I guess they have some consistency in some ways.
  • ATN Connect 5 app is suppose to be a major upgrade. Too bad the app isn't even available in the Google Play Store. How could you mess up this release?
  • Sold me an SD- Card that goes with a scope billed (as another headline feature) that it records 4K video, but the SD-Card isn't rated to record 4K video. That's petty. You'd be better off not even offering cards at all than cards that will cause recording to fail. Are you purposely trying to generate support calls? If so, congratulations 🎊, you finally succeeded in a release goal!
My comments may seem like I hate ATN, and that could not be further from the truth!
20230526_150449.jpg

They did a significant size and weight savings compared to the X-SIGHT 4K Pro with ABL. The numbers on paper are minor, but very significant when you swap from one scope to another.

ATN, why has thou forsaken me?

I have supported you, promoted you, hell, I've even been an evangelist for you! You have the best feature set of every digital scope around, but once again, you failed your customer commitment to delivering a quality product. A product I personally paid over $1300 for. Your biggest complaint with the X-SIGHT 4K Pro line was poor quality firmware, and instead of rectifying that issue, you exceeded the poor quality of your efforts past.

I don't work for free. I mean, who can afford to do that? But I feel like I just did unpaid work as an ATN Quality Control technician. ATN, I have some straight up advise for you:

Fire whoever green lit this release on both the engineering side and the business side. You would have been much better served to ship a quarter late than release trash to the market. You only get one chance to show this would be so much better than the X-SIGHT 4K, and you just blew it. Guess what else, the market isn't standing still. PARD, Sightmark and others are releasing solutions with integrated Ballistic Calculators, which is the reason I was attached to you in the first place.

It's best you release firmware to address these issues with all deliberate speed, or when the word gets out how ATN messed up yet again, I don't think the market will be so kind when other products are delivering when you can't.

Actual Shot Count Impact Compact 22 300cc Bottle?

Hey wanting to get some feedback from actual users. What kinds of shot counts are you guys getting with an FX Impact M3 Compact in 22 cal? Planning to shoot Hades and light slugs both in the range of 900-1050fps. My setup will be stock other than a Huma pin probe and Huma transferport. If I can Id like to run the lighter 300cc bottle on this one, since its so much lighter. Thanks

Feeding Invasive birds

Cute and cuddly ,or small and vicious. Two types of residents , near my local feed store. Although, it may be deceiving to an untrained eye, I clearly & quickly differentiate who's who. The same cannot be said about our local folks. Here I'm watching 4 jolly O's sparrows, out of about 10, enjoy a nice treat that's given to them on a daily, from what seems to be a giant bottomless pit dispensary of goodies for invasive critters. I mean there everywhere, from rock, Eurasian, white winged doves, starlings , grackles, crows, pshhh Don't even get me started with sparrows.
A quick Google search brings me to find there is no city ordinance or laws prohibiting the use of air rifles in city limits.. No fps limit ,no season ,not one mention of airgun , not compresed air stuff absolutely nothing. Only Pb's. Of coarse that doesn't mean I get to sling lead all over the place like Yosemite Sam. Also the animal control here doesn't even try to catch stray animals even if u call them. If they do they spade or neutere then release . So there's literally a different gang of cats&dogs in almost every block. (A lot of hungry stomachs)
Besides talking to the owners of the feed store to stop feeding the invasive pests,I'm stumped at what could possibly be done. They look like they'd have a heart attack if I even mention dispatching these little critters. (Birds not cats and dogs)
I'll be posting pics of all the wildlife around the area , kinda get a sample of the chaos going on here.

Why the blind should not cast bullets

I am legally blind, my right eye has been removed, my left eye has a nickel sized spot of undnaged retina, enough that I can’t see a full profile semi coming at me at 150’so Inhave no field of view on my right side. I shoot using perifical vision_

Earlier this week I was running my 25 MMpmold to shoot out of my new TJ barreled Kral Bighorn.

I have been casting for 55 years now and have gotten lead splatters now and then, but this week I really got cooked. I of course wear a heavy leather coat and gloves and eye protection and a 12 inch floor fan blowing onto me.

I decided to check my spruce plate tightness and removed my right glove to pick-up a Allen wrench. My ladle was in the pot full of iead, as I pivoted to the left, I lost sight of the ladle handle, brought my hand down on it and poured a iadles worth of moltened lead on the top of my thumb behind the web of my thumb. I monthly catch my hand on the push lever of my coffee pot, sometimes spilling it sometimes not, but nothing like this.

Instantly my neighbors were blinded by the flashing red light of my asshole throbbing in and out.

I got it under a faucet of cold running water and avoided a 3rd degree burn, but days later it is shedding skin and still burns.

When my adult children visit and look at their blind fathers cashing furnace, they shutdder but know nothing they can say will stop me from pouring bullets.

Be safe out there,

Roachcreek
