Kral Arms  Tuning Unregulated PCP - Running out of Hammer Spring Adjustment

I have a Reximex Daystar. (Same as KRAL as Same Manufacturer) Im trying to tune it to get the proper bell curve, but I am runing out of Hammer Spring Adjustment. Im almost all the way in on the screw and the FPS seems to be still going up. ITs a 250 BAR fill and at Hammer Spring almost at max I start around 750 FPS and will go up to about 800 at 210/200 BAR, which is what I want.. (~800)

I assume I need to get a stiffer Hammer Spring?

From my understanding is you want to back off the Hammer Spring once you hit a plateau and I can't seem to hit it at 200+ BAR (Plateau)

From my understanding with an unregulated PCP at higher fill pressures the hammer is fighting the bottle pressure so FPS is lower at higher FILL pressure..

There is a regulator from Huma-Air made for this rifle so I am wondering if thats the best course of action.. If I have to figure out a proper stiffer spring I might as well just install a regulator.

Maybe I am missing something obvious..

I should add this is 0.25 CAL and I am tuning for the JSP Exact 25.5 grain. Rifle is rated for 850 FPS according to manufacturer specs at that grain / Caliber. So I am in the range for sure, but not sure if the hammer spring should be maxed to get to that number.

Thanks
Mike

HW/Weihrauch  20 cal pellets and trajectory myths

I started to type this as a response to another thread about pellets for a 20 cal Hw95N. Nice rifle btw. Anyways I figured it was worth a wider audience.

11.42 FTTs
13.58 Barracuda
13.73 Exacts

PS you may find rebranded versions of the three I listed above (Referring to the other thread). Use the pellet weights as your guide line. Also if you're looking for the flat trajectory everyone expects from a 20 cal Weihrauch stay with the 11.42 FTTs. You should be around 800 fps with them. They are usually the highest or sometimes tied with the 13.73s for the highest energy in most Weihrauchs. The Hw90 being the exception. I haven't noticed much difference in accuracy between the two. Best accuracy can flip flop between tin lot numbers.

If you're going for longer distances (>50 yards) the 13.73 JSBs have an BC edge over the FTTs.

JSBs 13.73 = 0.0373
FTTs 11.42 = 0.0274

These are actual numbers. Published data is incorrect. Wildly incorrect on the FTTs.
My numbers were done using my R1 and two matched chronographs set 47 yards apart.

I recommend 20 cals if you're looking for something different and or accuracy from your Weihrauch. Other than the the 11.42 FTTs the 20s aren't any flatter than 22s. They both shoot low 700s. The reason is the larger 22 bore diameter generally adds about a pound of energy from the same rifle. That extra pound will push standard weight 22 lead pellets as fast as the 20 caliber will 13.58s and 13.73s. The BC between the 20 and 22 is close enough it's a wash. So the flatter 20 caliber argument is bunk unless you use the FTTs. Then you give up BC at longer distances. This is where switching to 13.73 JSBs puts you in the same trajectory as a 22.

Accuracy, I've never seen a Weihrauch 20 that wasn't accurate. Usually they are stupid accurate. I can't say the same about Weihrauch 22s. Most are good to great. I have seen a couple that weren't. Weihrauch seems to put more care in their 20 caliber barrels. They're certainly more expensive than the others.

Weihrauch 22 accuracy is normally very good to great. I don't want people telling me I'm giving 22 Weihrauchs a bad rap. Its just I've seen a few oversized bores that makes them pellet picky. Usually 5.54 or 5.55 head FTTs straightens them right out.

In the end 20 cals are a safe bet for accuracy at the expense of pellet choices. The 22 cals are just as flat and make more energy with a wider selection of easier to find pellets. That's unless you get an oversized bore then your choices will be as limited as the 20 cal.

My source of information is from tuning and testing several 20 and 22 cal Weihrauchs over the years. I also own four Hw95 family guns in three calibers.
Hw95 177 cal
R9 SE 20 cal
Hw98 20 cal
Hw95 Field Pro 22 cal
Every one of these guns has something great about them. There's no bad calibers for them. The 95 platform is a great platform.

I also have a R1 that has worn 177, (2) 20 and 22 caliber barrels since I've owned it. I've extensively tested the difference in manners and output between all three calibers. I still have a 20 caliber barrel for it but like it best in 22.

I'd say I have a pretty good cross section of experience to back my pragmatic statements here. I know someone will take offense to something I've said because they like this or that. That's their perogative. I'm just providing general facts and experiences for people to use as they wish.

HTH
Be well

PCP Rifle  NLA $200 obo: Modded Benjamin discovery wth accessories

I have a Benjamin discovery I would like to sell. The gun has been modified. It will come as pictured. It has a regulated bottle up front with a magnum airpower adapter. A Benjamin marauder trigger with a homemade trigger guard. The valve has been ported and a marauder valve stem added. It has a barska level 1.5-6-44 scope. It will come with the original air tube and all the included accessories like the gauge port and fill adapter, will also come with 3 magnum airpower valve screws. The butt plug I replaced with one I made to get an adjustable spring but it's not the best and the 2 screws that are holding it in place a stripped as well. It stays in place but would recommend replacing both.
Looking to get $200 obo.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Benjamin  Introducing the M-Rod Cobra

I worked on the stock all of yesterday. It turned out to be a PITA despite my having done dips before, this was my first rifle stock and it required a double dip. What a fuss, I am exhausted. Veil camo hydrodip over metallic graphite base (One Hit Wonder paint). I shot over with SprayMax 2K clear matte. Looks pro to me.



Cobra tech valve, Huma reg with XXL plenum, Tim Hill gage block, cut down shroud, JSAR aluminum reservoir, AGR FFG/SSG hammer system, AGR cocking thumb rest, .196 porting and "special" built transfer port (thanks ;) ). It is in the mid-50s fpe +/- depending on the exact gap I give the hammer and for 16+ to 24 shots. The Cobra valve cycles really fast so this rifle does not like the JSB 34 pellet. The valve is closing before the pellet leaves the barrel. But with the 25.4 JSB or even the H&N Barracuda 28 grain pellet (which it really likes) it really zings them out there and match the valve cycle well. Rifle is 6 pounds and 7 ounces with scope and is 39.75 inches long.

PCP Rifle  WTS Uragan King $925

I have a .22 Uragan King. Synthetic I bought from Talon Tunes a few years back. Two tanks give many many many shots. I shot no more than 400 pellets through it. I never tried slugs. Only trade would be for a good working Daystate. I would like a regulated Revere. I can ad cash for the right deal. Works perfect $925 shipped in the lower 48. Includes one magazine and fill probe...

N/A  observation

I noticed people in this section of the forum are always positive in their comments and helpful no matter the brand or power plant you're posting about. I haven't noticed any nasty criticisms or backhanded insults like some Karen's on other sections of the forum. Just an observation and I'd like to say thanks to all the springer heads:D for your positive and helpful commenting, and kindness to all your brother and sister air gunners. 👊✌️

Air Arms  Reduced Power AA Prosport

Got back into Airguns this past year having retired and needing another hobby. Picked up a .177 FAC Prosport, mounted a 4-16 UTG scope, and proceeded to test out a few pellets that I knew it would like.

I decided to zero it for 50 yards and had the best results with JSB 8.4s. I knew I got a pretty good rifle as there was very little spring buzz and was easily shooting under 2 inch ten shot groups at 50 yards. Didn’t need to adjust the trigger as it was pretty good from the factory. Shot it about every other day for a couple months and was quite pleased with it. Even after a reasonable break in, I was still getting an almost imperceptible amount of spring buzz and vibration.

I had often read that Prosports are at their best under 12 fps, so I ordered a reduced power spring. It took me all of about 20 minutes to change out springs. The resulting cocking effort was significantly smoother, the buzz disappeared, and I was now getting that sought after bank vault closing thunk on each shot.

Even better than the satisfying improvement of gun’s shot cycle, I am getting a boost in accuracy. I routinely get under 1.5 inch ten shot groups now, and on dead calm days and no caffeine I can do 1 inch groups at 50 yards. I’m not sure I could do much better with a PCP.

Skout  Skout EVO First Impression

I just got my new Skout Evo. I couldn't be happier!
The new solid barrel system is very impressive. I opted for the .22 caliber Lothar Walther 25 inch poly 1:15.75 twist. This is a full typical LW barrel inside the 1" diameter carbon Skout housing with the entire remaining volume filled with CF and epoxy bonding. It is as solid as a baseball bat!
The new indexing is more intuitive, repeatable, and better executed than on any gun I have ever seen. I upgraded to the benchrest buttstock instead of the lightweight Evo setup because I prefer the additional adjustability and I am not looking to save any weight since it will mainly be shot from the bench. The electronics are improved from the Epoch and the larger screen is much appreciated. The trigger mechanism remains unchanged (which is a good thing). The on/off valve is better and both shuts off the bottle and degasses the gun with one twist. As a lefty, I did prefer the regulator gauge on the right side of the gun on the Epoch and I also preferred the tool less regulator adjustment. Although it never happened to me there was a risk in setting the bottom of the gun on a log or bag and bumping the reg adjuster by accident on the Epoch. The new design brings the reg adjustments up and in alignment with the gun lengthwise. Lastly I was able to get it in custom camo which I fell in love with on the very first Epoch prototype!
It is stabilized by an Odin Prizm bipod that is my new favorite even if they are fairly pricy. Atop sits a Vector Optics 5-30x56 Continental 34mm tube. The bad news is that I only took a couple of types of ammo to the range today and the wind prevented any critical analysis of groups at 100. The good news is what I saw so far is very promising! I can't wait till next Friday when I'll have another chance, and I'll get test more projectile options.

SCBA tanks fire dangers?

Anyone have any concerns about having large SCBA tanks inside their homes? If their is a home fire their is a chance they will explode.

This is the answer I got from Chatgpt.

Does an scba tank become a bomb if left full inside a fire?


What Happens When an SCBA Tank is Exposed to Fire?​

  1. Heat Exposure:
    • Expansion of Compressed Air: When exposed to heat from a fire, the air inside the tank expands. Since the tank is designed to hold air at a very high pressure, the expanding air significantly increases the internal pressure.
    • Material Weakening: The intense heat can weaken the structural integrity of the tank's material, making it more prone to failure.
  2. Pressure Increase:
    • Exceeding Tank's Pressure Limits: As the internal pressure rises due to the heat, it can exceed the tank’s rated pressure limit. If the pressure gets too high, the tank may rupture or explode.
  3. Potential Explosion:
    • Catastrophic Failure: If the tank’s pressure relief valve (if present) fails or is not adequate to vent the excessive pressure quickly enough, the tank can burst violently. This can cause a powerful explosion, with shrapnel and a shockwave capable of causing serious injury or death.

Safety Features in SCBA Tanks:​

  • Pressure Relief Valve: Some SCBA tanks are equipped with a pressure relief valve that is designed to vent the tank if the internal pressure becomes too high. However, if the tank is exposed to very high temperatures, the valve may not be able to release the pressure quickly enough to prevent an explosion.

Conclusion:​

An SCBA tank left full inside a fire can indeed become a bomb, posing a significant risk of explosion. Firefighters and emergency responders are trained to be aware of this danger and typically take measures to avoid leaving SCBA tanks in high-temperature environments such as fires. The combination of high internal pressure and heat exposure can lead to catastrophic failure of the tank, with potentially lethal consequences.


Yes, there have been incidents where SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) tanks have exploded or ruptured due to exposure to extreme heat in a fire, leading to injury or death of firefighters. These incidents are rare but can occur under specific circumstances.

### Documented Incidents:
1. **New York City, 1994:**
- A notable incident occurred in 1994 in New York City where an SCBA tank exploded inside a burning building. The firefighter was killed as a result of the explosion. The intense heat weakened the tank, and it ultimately ruptured, causing fatal injuries.

2. **Philadelphia, 1991:**
- In Philadelphia, a firefighter was severely injured when his SCBA tank ruptured while he was inside a burning structure. The tank's failure was attributed to exposure to extreme temperatures that weakened the tank’s structural integrity.

### Contributing Factors:
- **Extreme Heat:** Prolonged exposure to temperatures well beyond the design limits of SCBA tanks can lead to a catastrophic failure.
- **Structural Weakening:** As SCBA tanks are exposed to heat, the materials (metal or composite fibers) may degrade, increasing the risk of rupture.
- **Pressure Build-up:** Even with pressure relief valves, rapid and extreme temperature increases may overwhelm the safety mechanisms of the tank.

### Safety Measures:
- **Regular Inspections:** SCBA tanks are subject to strict inspection and maintenance protocols to ensure their safety and reliability.
- **Training:** Firefighters are trained to recognize the dangers of heat exposure to their equipment, and to avoid situations where SCBA tanks could be compromised by fire.
- **Standards and Design:** Modern SCBA tanks are designed with multiple safety features, including pressure relief valves, to reduce the risk of explosions. However, no system is entirely foolproof under extreme conditions.

### Conclusion:
While incidents involving SCBA tanks exploding in fires are relatively rare, they have happened, and the consequences can be severe. Fire departments around the world take these risks seriously and implement rigorous safety protocols to protect firefighters. These incidents underscore the importance of ongoing training, equipment maintenance, and adherence to safety procedures in firefighting operations.

PCP Rifle  SOLD Taipan Veteran Long .22 Red Laminate Stock (Price Further Reduced) $875 shipped CONUS

For sale is my Taipan Veteran Long in .22 caliber with red laminate stock. This was a standby backyard varmint rifle so it didn't see very much use. Total shots through it is 1459 according to my logs. It has never been out in the field as all of the shots were made either from shooting out of a window or indoors on a chronograph.

This gun has performed flawlessly with my time with it. Never had a leak. The stock regulator is set to around 145 bars and I have never adjusted this. I stored the gun at 125 bar fill pressure when not in use.

This sale will also come with the DonnyFL Koi (0.177/0.22 model) moderator. I used this moderator threaded directly on the barrel with the stock barrel shroud removed. This is how I recommend you do it as ideally, you would need a size up bigger moderator if you are attaching it to the shroud. You will also need to buy the proper adapter to do that.

This sale comes with everything the gun came with when I received it from Talon Tunes. It will also come with the 3D printed cheekpiece that I bought for it. You will need a double sided tape to install it on the receiver.

Please note that this does not come with the steel dowels to adjust the brass hammer spring tension. I didn't get those from Talon Tunes when I bought the gun and at the time, I didn't realized that they were supposed to be included. I've always just used two 3mm allen bits to adjust the hammer spring tension.

Accessories included as listed (if it is not in this list, please do not assume it is included);
2 magazines, single shot tray, fill probe with bolt-on male quick disconnect. Two metal dowels used to unscrew the cap at the end of the moderator, two pieces of 3D printed cheekpiece that needs double sided tape to install, DonnyFL Koi 0.177/0.22 moderator with cone endcap, serialized instructions manual with a test sheet from Talon Tunes.

Please note that there is a slight ding on grip part of the laminate stock. Please see photo. This is how it came to me from Talon Tunes. Other than this, the gun looks very clean overall with no marks or scratches. Please be aware that although the gun is in perfect condition, the nature of the finishing of the anodization is not perfect from the factory. They are all like that. The finish on the metal is not the very shiny type as seen on something like the Air Arms TX200.

$1065 $950 (or $889 $875 without the DonnyFL Koi) shipped to continental USA. PayPal or Venmo payment. I am in North GA and can meet up in a safe place for transaction.

I understand that I don't have feedback on this forum yet. I sold a gun here a few years ago. I am CarnivoreGreens on eBay with 1000+ feedback on there. For validation of my selling reputation, you can send me a message over there and I will reply back to confirm.

Thank you for looking.
