New guy posting for the first time. Been in airguns since the age of 3 and PCP's since 2015 and active on the other forum since then. Joined to check out the classifieds mostly, but sure I'll be joining in some of the discussions.

SOLD

Since I can't see to shoot air pistols anymore here are over 5000 unopened as new pellets ranging from 6.79 to 8.44 gr some diablo and some wadcutters. Over 3000 7.87 JSB Exacts. These all work well in pistols and target rifles.

Sent in a flat rate box to you

$80 via USPS MO or PP, less than two cents per round

I'll include some open tins as well to sweeten the deal

Hello AGN:

I haven't done much with any of my airguns this year due to work and other hobbies (mostly golf). My previously uber trusty (and relatively quiet) Impact M3 0.25 is behaving oddly after I recently double loaded it by accident. Shortly after the double loading, there's a noticeably louder pop at the breech side near my ear when I shoot it. I tried replacing the Tatsu with a larger Sumo then Ronin mod to check for any change in the report - and the pop sounded the same with all three mods so it appears that the sound is coming from the breech side and not from the moderator side.

I thought maybe I'd blown out the breech o-ring but it was still there; I replaced it anyways thinking it might have been damaged. The louder pop was still there even with the newly replaced o-ring. I tried re-seating the barrel and pellet probe as well as swapping out multiple magazines but those didn't fix it either.

Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?

[FWIW, I shot my M3 0.22 that is shooting slugs at a much higher FPS and don't get the pop at the breech - only the normal muffled report on the moderator side...]

Thanks in advance for the help!

While my R7 is on the quite side, is there anything I can add to the barrel to make it even quieter. Priority is keeping it’s accuracy but I would like to shave off a few decibels if possible. Thanks

Like new!! Mounted once. Decided to go in a different direction. Great red dot. Wish I had something else I could put it on. 265.00 plus 1/2 shipping. PayPal F&F or add for fees.

Consider this a parts lot as it is currently NON-FUNCTIONAL, and reflected in the price.

92-93hrs on the thing, I'm the first and only owner.

I'm realizing I don't have: mostly the time, but also a little bit the patience to get er running again.

Sale includes 4 complete rebuild kits (and a couple partials), 3 spare slow-blow fuses and some random parts like spacers for the large piston and some not very used felts for the oiler.

I know for sure that it needs a new fan and new brass bushings for the crank arm connection. The brass bushings are a couple bucks from McMaster Carr.

It MAY need a new power switch b/c the current one will turn it on, but not off, it has to be unplugged to turn it off. The switch may be fine though, after a new fan is wired in? The switch also controls the fan.

And it MAY need something else that I'm unaware of? (If I knew exactly what it needed I wouldn't be selling it.)

There's also something going on with the bushing on the right support column to where it won't stay in place. That may go away with new bushings in the crank arm connection?

Estimating a weight of 30# and looks like shipping to the East coast would be about $100.

I'd like $200, net to me. Buyer pays actual shipping. I've been slightly burned on "buyer pays shipping" before so I would like $300, through PayPal and then I'll refund back the difference in actual shipping, up to $100. And I'll send buyer a photo of the shipping receipt.

(example, you want it, so you pay me $300 through PayPal, F&F. I take it to shipper and it costs $50 to send it to your location. I will send you a photo of the shipping receipt and pay your PayPal account $50 back since that was the difference in shipping). That way, I get the $200 net, and you paid the $50 for shipping.

Located in AZ if that helps to factor in shipping. And I'll only ship to contiguous 48 states, unless you're willing to pay more than $100 for shipping, if it costs that much to get it to you.

I've still got the original box/packaging that it came to me in and it'll ship in that same packaging.

PM if interested

Search my post history and past classifieds dealings if the refunding of excess shipping costs concerns you. A sale of the compressor will play out exactly as described above.

(also, for any interested buyers that will be at EBR in a few weeks, I'll be there and a pass-off at the event would be the easiest for both of us. For an easy peasy EBR pass off I'd take $175).

Finally pulled the trigger on this hand cannon. Got a little trigger work to do. First thing I noticed is the barrel is not .300. More like .303. Can't wait to try Nsa 47.2 .303. At over 100 fpe this thing is nasty. **Aea hp max .30 cal**. More to come later.

I only shot it maybe 50 times since I bought last year. I installed a bigger 300 cc FX tank and adjusted the hammer spring to shoot 18 grn JSBs at 910 fps with the reg pressure that came from the dealer set at 140 psi. I don’t know how many shots per fill but it should be more with the larger bottle. I really don’t want to sell it but I have an FX M3 in .22 as well. I don’t want to part with that one so the prophet must go.
I will ship it in the case it came with. It also has a vertical ergo grip. I no longer have the original grip but can include a factory fx m3 grip if you like. This is a nice gun to carry around because it’s so light and handy. I also have the manual. It will ship with one magazine.
I would like $1100 shipped to cont US addresses via FedEx ground. Payment via PP plus the processing fee. This is for the gun, case, mag, owners manual and the parts I mentioned earlier. If you would like the scope, a Veyron 3-12x44 FFP and rings, add $150. For the Hugget Atom, add $75.

No trade offers please.

Thanks for your consideration,
Gabe

I got back into airguns as an adult (I’m 32) about 6-7 years ago. Since then I’ve had a few guns but they have all been budget guns usually around 200-500 dollars. I played with PCPs and gas ram guns, and recently I purchased a Hammerli Hunter Force 900 based off some good reviews…Well it sucked, it’s really bad as far as fit and finish and the trigger is 8+ lbs and I started to realize I just need to get what I always wanted so.

I got a TX200 and it’s the best thing I’ve purchased in a long time. Pyramyd Air is only an hour from me so I got next day delivery and WOW! I understand the jaw dropped reviewers now bc I am already so accurate with this and I haven’t even shot 50 shots. I’m using FTT 4.51 right now bc that’s the first tin I grabbed running out of the house to shoot it. I’ve never shot high end anything and this is just a dream come true to shoot. I got the Pyramyd Air scope package bc it came with the scope I wanted for it anyways and the bundle was cheap! I know everyone has one of these now but it’s a big deal to me and I’m super pumped to have it.

I will be doing a chrono test and the works soon but I just wanted it sighted today and it’s already so easy to be accurate I’m happy I waited this long to buy one bc I learned a lot.

DECIDED TO KEEP IT Month. Old maverick hardly shot maybe few hundred pellet new 600 barrel kit as I traded for my 500 so it's a 480 600 mm with carbon liner non glued. 2 mags and holder. Sehkment gauges.huma mod 30 silencer Very very accurate. Hard case 1450 shipped. Targets at 50 yards 16 gr at 930 fps almost 200 shots per fill so lotta shots and great accuracy only difference is gun has a 600mm barrel kit with the huma mod 30 silencer i took out the middle section also to keep it short and iss very quiet center section will be in the package also barrel tp has the pellet and slug port also plus pin probe also trade for really nice 177 taipan- agt -or others must be like new 177cal thanks for looking

Fill probe. Decided on different project so thinning out the safe again. Everything as NEW
NOW $675.00 SHIPPED for the package

I’ve wondered for a while why all the hammerless guns are semi/full auto. If you could run a traditional biathlon setup and magazine you would have a smoother cocking, and no ping. I also thing this would be much quieter then the semi auto setup and more efficient. Just a thought, hammerless setup with side shot style mag in a bullpup.

SOLD

Less than twenty pellets through it as I bought it for my Grandson and it turned out that he likes shooting my Red Wolf more , soooo like new. $140 by PayPal to [email protected] with free shipping. Accushot 4-16 scope included.

Just had this thought - I'm pretty open to buying used parts from the forum here and even on eBay if I'm feeling comfortable with the item for sale.

But there are just some things I would never buy used - the primary one which comes to mind is a PCP Compressor. There's just no way to know how long how many hours on them, how hard they've been pushed, if they've been properly bleed to get water out, if the insides are all gunked up, etc. Unless someone is willing to accept bottom dollar for a used compressor I would never take the risk.

A for example (and please note I am not saying this member abused the compressor in any way, but how would you know) is the Omega Trailcharger for sale for $800 at 6 months old. No mention of how many hours, no mention if it was used to fill guns or larger bottles. I wouldn't pay more than $400-450 for that compressor and I feel others share that opinion as it's been renewed two times.

Other things like airguns, scopes, ammo, accessories I am okay with after doing my due diligence.

What items would you not buy used?

Here's the story. Bought a refurb from PA 6 months ago. As usual, life got in the way and I didn't shoot it till recently. I did have a hammer rotation problem, now fixed, but now another problem.

At 10 yards, it shoots 6 inches to the right. That would be about 5 feet to the right at 100 yards and no, my scope can't quite handle that.

I've used two different sets of rings, two different scopes, Crosman and JSB pellets, removed the shroud completely and yes it still shoots to the right. Tonight, removed the barrel and reset everything making sure all the Allen screws were properly aligned and properly screwed into the little dimples in the barrel. Still, shoots about 6 inches to the right.

Any thoughts on what I should check next? It groups beautifully with the JSB's (8 of 10 pellets on top of each other), but I'm really stumped. Air Venturi seemed to think the shroud was causing the problem, but even without the shroud it still shoots to the right. Oh, and I rolled the barrel on a flat table tonight and it rolled very nicely. Seems to be a very straight barrel.

I am really stumped on this one. Does anyone have any ideas on what to try next? Really appreciate any suggestions, I'm fresh out.

Would like to sell my LCS SK-19 in 25 cal for $1400 plus 1/2 shipping, east of the Mississippi and $20 more West of the Mississippi. Or as a package deal for $1600 shipped. Package consists of, the LCS SK-19.25 cal, BSA 6-24×44 scope s/f , mounts and 3 full tins of JSB 25.4gr 350 ct. If you ever wished you had a Semi-auto for that quick follow up shot, now is your chance to own a Quality Semi-auto and if want Full-auto just move the lever. It is also regulated, so plenty of shots depending upon what you have the power wheel set at, will depend on the shots and ft/lb energy. The power on this LCS SK-19 is adjustable from 12 ft/lb to 60 ft/lb . Buy with confidence as I have about 10 pages of all Positives on the old Yellow BOI and only a few here. Please communicate by texting me and for pics at 920-427-9608, or email me at [email protected] Thanks Richard.

Recently I made a visit to the American Air Arms facility to visit Tom and to deliver my EVOL that I have decided to donate to this years EBR raffle. I put together this video where Tom shows how to adjust the trigger and offers some tuning advice for those wanting to make adjustments. He has been really busy but I was happy he had some time to help with putting this together. After EBR we plan to produce some more videos that discuss his products, and some more advanced videos that will apply to many brands of Airguns as I feel he has lots to share. BTW the wood stock Paradigm is one of the most beautiful rifles I've ever seen.

After terrible vertical stringing with my R9 I put a Hawke red dot on it.

Made a night and day difference over all attempts with a scope or the factory sights


Interesting thing I noted is when I had the red dot zeroed it exactly eclipsed the globe of the front post sight insert. It's rated as parallax-free from 30 feet to infinity. Aligning the red dot in the rear notch was so easy it was intuative. Group sizes tightened up by 50% compared with front post only. Very pleased with this at 10 meters. Red dot did not move on the gun after almost 100 shots, maybe its light weight results in less impulse to move it on the dovetail? Longer ranges next... Regards

How does it compare to FX? I guess the most comparable comparison would be the Maverick vs. Krait X…accuracy, build quality, barrel length, trigger, power?

I ordered this but don’t need it now. Brand new. I only opened the packaging to examine and take a pic.

This topic was formerly titled: "Reviewing an Airgun That Doesn’t Officially Exist: A Peculiar Endeavor"

Posts #1-30 were made prior to 10/13/22. Lots of photos and more identifying information from post #31 and on.




I was recently asked to do an analysis of a new airgun, with one big kicker: I can’t start the public review series prior to the official product launch. With this being the flagship gun of a new name in airgun manufacturing......my response? (after about a half-a-second delay) “heck yeah! but that’s going to be tough.” Still on the phone, my brain was going 90 miles an hour as I think through the logistics of how to make this work. With my reviews in the past, I’ve been transparent, sharing any and everything I have learned; performance, shot strings, accuracy, in-depth photos of the inner workings of the gun etc. And I’ve always done that in nearly real-time, sometimes even on a daily basis. I consider that my standard operating procedure when I get a gun. So my first thought (and how I responded) was that I’ll just do what I do, and save files for all the write-ups, and then release them after the product launch. A day or two goes by and I get a call saying they’ve discussed it, and that I can start the review series, releasing information publicly, as it’s compiled, BUT that I can’t share anything that would identify the gun, again, prior to the official release. They told me to essentially consider this thing a ghost when it comes to identifying details or photos. Still going to be tricky, but might be kinda fun. Almost a reverse review, share all the details, and maybe even some sneak peak, non-identifying photos, and then announce the name of the gun and manufacturer at a later date. Should be interesting. One thought here, some people hate suspense, my wife being one of them. She’ll vote to turn off a movie or stop reading a book as soon as there’s some intrigue. If you’re that type, check back in a few weeks and start at the most recent post and work your way backwards, lol. If you don’t mind some anticipation and have some patience that the big reveal will eventually happen, this review is for you.

And of course, all of this is the airgun industry creating some excitement for a new product. Sometimes that excitement is falsely inflated, but in the case of this particular gun, I think many shooters will be as excited for it as the manufacturer hopes they are. I say that because I’ve read more than one random comment from airgun shooters, wondering aloud why this particular gun isn’t made. Well, now it is, and eventually it’ll be made public and available for purchase. And I also say that I think the excitement will match the hype because I’m personally pretty excited about the gun. And not just because I get to spend some time shooting it, but also because of what it represents. There’s some cool stuff going on with the design, and the premise behind why it was designed the way it was. From what I'm hearing, there are massive plans for aftermarket customization, ALL kinds of goodies available to turn this gun into exactly what the shooter wants. And yes, those goodies represent sales, but they also allow the gun to be configured for very specific uses and moldable for distinct preferences on the shooter side of the equation. So it's been fun to go over the design in this first week and see something and realize, "oh, I see why they did that right there, so that the owner can swap this part out for x to make it be better for NRL or benchrest or field target or come back to or just leave the oem part to be better for hunting or general use " and so on and so forth.

First off, let’s start out with what I’ve so far learned/know about the gun, and what I can share...
(in no particular order)

General (all configurations)...

• Chassis gun, no wood or laminate
• Modular nature
• “Bullpup” layout
• Biathlon cocking lever, located right above the trigger (no rear-cocking bullpup here)
• Bottle gun- and actually a valved bottle, so it can be unscrewed slightly to segregate air supply for regulator adjustments, without dumping the whole bottle (air within the plenum/innards needs to be shot out after unscrewing bottle and prior to lowering reg pressure)
• Regulated, and externally adjustable, as described above
• 250 bar max fill
• Lothar Walther barrels
• Barrel kits will be available (caliber swaps, different lengths, etc)
• All calibers have the same valve, so going from a .177 to a .25, for example, is possible
• Trigger linkages and sears are in a unique cassette-like format
• Being a bullpup, obviously has linkages, but multiple adjustments at the trigger (first stage tension, etc)
• Main sears at rear of gun drop out like a cassette, parts are finely machined, no obviously stamped components, everything but the pins are hard-anodized
• There is a cover in the frame of the gun, above the trigger, that lets a guy see what they’re adjusting (when cover is removed)
• Shrouded barrels and shroud has 1/2x20 standard threads at muzzle end to allow for addition of moderator
• Dual manometers, one on each side of the gun, left side shows reg pressure, right side shows bottle pressure (I might have to throw a digital gauge on in place of the analog reg gauge, just for giggles!)
• deleted
• Male foster for filling the gun has a sintered filter down inside, to keep particulate from getting in the gun (nice addition)
• Adjustable cheek piece (first thing I adjusted on the gun)
• Adjustable butt-plate, for height (second thing I adjusted on the gun)
• Picatinny scope rail, and plenty long for various levels of eye relief/types of scope
• Side pic rails present as well
• Ventral pic rail also (bipod!!!)
• Comes with BEEFY hard case (think airline approved gun case, okay I don’t know if it really is, but it has that look)
• Comes with various allen keys, spare orings, fittings to get air in the tank
• Surprised to see that it has paperwork, so the manufacturer is far enough along in the new product release process that they have stuff printed
• MSRP is what most people will consider mid-tier, although I’ve been inside guns in the same price range that weren’t machined as well as this one appears to be nor did they give an as overall "solid" impression (the read between the lines there is that it SEEMS like it's going to be a lot of gun for the money, partly on it's own merit as a stand-alone gun, but also largely due to the planned aftermarket support/customization options)​

Specific to the gun I was sent...

• .177 and obviously a “compact” configuration
• OAL without a moderator = 26”
• OAL with a 4 and 5/8inch mod = 30 and 1/8 inches
• 300cc bottle
• 12 shot magazine, loading 10.34gr pellets I remarked at how deep the mag wells are
• Reg pressure came at 120bar
• I would guess it weighs around 6-7lbs without a scope
• OEM trigger pull-10 shot average was 1lb 4.5oz
  • I was able to adjust it down to a 10 shot average of 9.1oz, I suspect it’ll lighten up and lose another couple ounces with use

10 pull average of OEM...


10 pull average after some adjustment...


Here are some non-identifying snaps from the trigger mechanism...
Those two bolts come out and that cassette like configuration of sears drops out of the gun. Really unique, TIGHT machining on the various sub assemblies (like this one).

Photos of that sear cassette, from all sides....





While I've had it about a week, I’ve thus far only shot the gun for one fill, from 240-110bar. I didn’t change the reg pressure or even the hammer tension from how it arrived. It came at max hammer tension, determined via the hammer spring tension adjustment. In that one fill, I shot 5 magazines (60 shots). All were taken at paper at 50 yards. The first shot was on paper but needed some scope adjustments. I also swapped scopes after about 2 and a half magazines, determining that the first scope’s reticle was too thick for paper punching. So then I had to zero the second scope. I was also dealing with 15-20mph wind in my completely open back pasture. I’ve got nothing but empty fields on my east side, and of course the wind was coming from the east that day and there is nothing to break up the easterly winds. Really poor accuracy testing conditions but I wanted to shoot the gun bad enough that I went ahead with it. Initially had big plans to do accuracy assessment with about 15 different pellets and slugs, but wind came up just about the time I got everything set up. So, all 5 magazine were just shot with JSB 10.34grain pellets.

Here’s the first (and only) groups out of the gun…..



Nothing too impressive, until I got to that last group, the one that I’m pointing at. I’ll get to that in a minute though.

I was shooting over a chrono and was pleasantly surprised to see how consistent the gun is. First magazine had an ES of 9 and an average of 937fps, just a bit hot for sub 20fpe field target. The next 3 magazines all were above 925 and below 937, so, 48 shots with an ES of 12. Before the fifth magazine I was right under 120 bar so expected fps to come down. They did, like a rock. That last 12 shots was from 923 down to 895, and that’s the group that I’m pointing at. So, the barrel seems to like the 10.34s at probably 910-915 fps MUCH better than it did at 930fps. Pretty sure it's got too much hammer tension. I suspect that coming down on that hammer tension adjustment a couple clicks, maybe around the 15 mark, won't lose much fps but likely gain in shot count. I'll eventually drill down on all the settings and arrive at some reg pressures/hammer tensions/projectiles that are easily repeatable and fit a couple different uses, as well as providing the high level of accuracy that I'm after.

The current plan is to test what I consider light pellets (7.87-9.57grains).


I'll run a different test group of "heavy" pellets...


And finally, I'll see how it does with the slugs that I have on hand...

There's a bit of overlap in my planned projectile testing with different brandings coming from same manufacturer, but sometimes a different batch will shoot light and day different so it's worth it to try them out. It'll also serve as an indicator of whether or not this barrel is going to be cantankerous about specific batches, or if it's going to play nice and be tolerant of a wide range of projectiles/batches.

REALLY early in this whole process but so far really liking what I’m seeing. I’m very likely to address any of the aforementioned details in much greater depth as I spend time with it. And it sounds like they're giving me a pretty loose leash, both in regards to what I share about the gun, the direction(s) I take with it, and the length of time I have to do all that. BUT, we'll get there, the next step is to do simple accuracy assessments with a wide range of projectiles.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to play 20 questions about the gun. Ie, I can neither confirm nor deny any guesses, assumptions, declarations, etc that come about because of this review in the timeframe between now and the manufacturer’s official product launch. I will, however, answer (as best I can) any questions that don’t identify the gun (general performance, “how does it shoot X pellet?” etc).

Wildcat .25 first gen,

Bought this on a whim in July and it is really not for me. Do not have the time to shoot it. It does shoot great, though. You get the Rattler. padded soft case, 8 tins of JSB pellets, 5 boxes (100 count) of Nielsen 142 grains slugs and 5 bags (50 per bag?) of 175 grain Raptor Slugs (AOA brand). Total retail is about $3145.

I put a scope on it and shot a about 200 rounds through it. Excellent condition.

All yours for the low price of $2600. PM me or email [email protected]
