I almost bought one a couple years ago when they were on sale for something around $325. It has been hard to resist the $219 refurb price, but $169 is over the top, I couldn't turn it down. I guess I need to get a few hammer springs, maybe a couple mags.

I just picked up a new RAW HM1000X .30 and noticed they added the name Theoben to the action. When was this name changed? I have no idea what year this rifle was made?

That was another question I was meaning to ask...... does the size of the wheel matter?

If I am thinking correctly...... the larger the wheel the further apart, and more accurate, you can have your range markings.

I guess $800 is the new budget gun market

not for me.. that’ll buy you a much better rifle in the gently used market!

Update 2:

Piercing caps work but unfortunately their is indeed a bad seal, great… luckily the cap for where the co2 cannisters go in has a perfect seal.

I still need to figure out how to get this valve tube out.

I shoot out of our bedroom window when it gets cold.
It helps reduce mirage if I turn on the bathroom fan to reduce the amount the amount of warm air going out the window.

I also shoot from a spare bedroom window. The mirage can be managed some by reducing the size of the opening. I use 2” styrofoam to cover the open window with a 6”x10” section cut out to shoot thru. This also helps keep the room at a comfortable temperature. Uj

That’s the sad part. Wishing you could live in an area that offered these types of shooting disciplines. I have shot my whole life, and though I kinda of knew it existed, I was not exposed to it. My daughter on the other hand happened to go to a HS that had a very good MCJROTC rifle team. She tried out and made the team. I got to experience this whole world of Olympic discipline of shooting sports. It’s out there and it’s big. Just flying under the radar. Unfortunately you need to live around where it’s offered and know it even exists in your area. Most all if not all is focused on young shooters in school. Hardly any opportunity for adults, though 10M pistol being the exception. Olympic/ISSF shooting sports (rifle & pistol) are such a pure and elegant realm of shooting bud t most are doing it on their own in the garage or basement and don’t have a local club option. Really sad.

Where are there ISSF related shooting clubs in the US? I was an ROTC university instructor in the late 80s for a short while in MN before I was pulled out to go to Desert Storm. I did ROTC as a prior service cadet in Iowa in the late 70s. I never heard of a rifle or pistol team at either place. Maybe the pool of prospective youth shooters exposed to the sport is pretty small compared to what the Euro and Asian countries have at hand.

Seems like its in need of a good tune, and would really perform for you. I couldn't tune it in 500 shots

As the title says, gauging interest in several older model PCP rifles. I am not the owner, My friend Steve of AVS slugs is, and he keeps his stuff in great condition. He is extremely busy running his business, so I'm the forum guy, I will happily introduce serious buyers and screen off the tire kickers. The initial offerings are

1- Kalibregun cricket, 25 cal, pushing slugs at about 70 Foot pounds. Gun is about 6 years old, Stock condition is great. No undue scratches or gouges. Ballpark 900 bucks.

2 BRK magnum XR I believe, 25 cal I believe, shoots about 55 foot pounds energy. Obviously discuss details with him which I would help with. $850

3 AGT vulcan 3 22 cal , a slug shooting powerhouse, immaculate condition, Thinking $1150.

Now these are about the prices, details are between you and him. My voucher is, he will not sell you junk, period. He knows his way around airguns. Reach out if interested. thanks all!

All negotiated prices are assuming CONUS ONLY, Shipping would be included.

Avs is a better choice the lead composition is softer so they are easier to stuff into the magazine. The nsa have antimony in them which makes the lead harder and the avs are pure lead so they are a little softer. This info was procured from Kelly @ Krazykool who has helped me through the ins and outs of both my k1 and gk1. I’ve used both and he is correct. The 253 fit better but the 254 shot better. Also the zan are pretty good. A little silicone lube also goes a long way.

I tried various Zans, various AVS calibers and grains, and other variants. NSAs performed significantly better in my setup, but every setup is different.

Rob_in_NC · 2024-11-27T19:49:02-0600

Cant recall specifics, but I had the same issue years ago on a Timberwolf (two shot shuttle version of what you have) and I ended up needing a new valve stem/seal. I did a complete reseal while I was at it and it's now held up fine for several years now. Cant be of more help. I tried the couple drops in the fill port, but I'm thinking the issue is at the valve seal and would take a bit to blow that oil all the way down the tube to reach it. In my case (if I'm remembering right) the seal on the stem was cracked so no amount of silicon was going to fix that.

But if I had to pick just one thing I couldn't do without, it would be . . . the STUD quick-loading system and magazines - once you use those, you'll never, ever want to load your pellets one by one ever again.

How did you do the graphics on the mod?

Also try adding a few drops of pure silicone oil into the guns fill port, it may help, may not but worth a try!

Any particular type you'd recommend?

crowkiller15 · 2024-11-27T19:47:03-0600

my question is what is the best tune or speed for H&N .22 34gr slugs. I am shooting them out of a FX maverick at 945 fps but it seems like I am getting some flyers but I am not sure if it is due to my tune or speed that I am shooting them.

lol damn.. get a full auto pcp and cut down a tree

Except for when I take my son to the range, I shoot mostly just to kill pests. Rats and raccoons. I'll occasionally fire a few pellets to zero an optic. But that's about it.

NAProf · 2024-11-27T19:44:49-0600

Hi Guys!
I have spent most of my shooting time the last couple of weeks trying out some new pellets in the .22 Crown NW . First I tried the 380mm barrel and then went to the 500mm barrel. I got several tins of JTS Dead Center .22 18.8 gr pellets from the JTS booth at the Pyramid Air Cup. They look like really nice pellets! They appear to be very consistent in shape, almost no bent skirts, and very clean. I ran a bunch through my .22 PelletgageR's and the batches seemed to be a mix of head sizes between 5.54 and 5.51mm. Only weighed about 30 pellets and the range was similar to the JSB's (not as tightly grouped as the FX's). Anyway, after almost 750 shots on lots of Challenge cards at both 30 and 40 yds I can emphatically say "Blaaaaaa...". Not one card came close to my leader board numbers at either range. Tried several different velocities in each barrel - just not scoring as well as the FX's.

So, today I went back to the good ole Green Mountain Crown with the 500mm .177 barrel (my FT rig). Shot just two cards, one 30 yd Masters and a 40 yd Challenge. Shot the 30 yd first and did well - 198-12x (with six 10's). The breeze picked up a bit (though not much) and I shot the 40 yd card - 191 - 8x. I think both make my leader board for this rifle for 2024.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! And I will lift a glass for Tommy and his marvelous 200-18X!

Cheers,
Greg

Thanks, ill keep trying with my brass picks

A large needle is a much better tool. As described above, stab the o-ring, and pry/roll it out of the groove.
