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.

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.

Must haves? I consider pretty much everything shown on my Impacts below are must haves for me . . . it's part of the fun of owning an Impact:

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?

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 but most are doing it on their own in the garage or basement and don’t have a local club option. Really sad.

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?

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.

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

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

I am trying to fill an FX2000/tarantula. I have a scuba tank and it's flat empty on the gun side.

I have tried cocking , the quick blast of air and it's still just rushing out the barrel.

What else can I try?
-Put a pellet to block the transfer port?
-Block the end of the barrel with a plug ?
-lightly tap the action to get the valve to close ?

Complaining about accuracy while insisting on shooting CPHP is inconsistent. There is no airgun that won't shoot better with another pellet. Cheap pellets are just not going to be the most accurate. I am not arguing your first Notos was OK, just suggesting you need to seriously look at other pellets if you are serious about accuracy.

I totally understand the shortfalls of CPHP. As I mentioned in this case, I tried multiple pellets (weight and manufacturer), with all having the same accuracy issues. If it had been just the CPHP that had issues, and other pellets were accurate, I would have just assumed it didn't like CPHP at all end up using something else. As for the why I even try for CPHP usage, I have my own "logic" for that. I'm not expecting CPHP to provide premium pellet result, but I am also not looking to shoot past 25 yards, and not at pests either. You don't seem me post brags about my grouping at 100 yards, because I haven't even tried it past 25 yard. For me, my airguns are for fun in the back yard. I can come home and shoot 100 rounds on a whim, which I can't do with powder burners (have to go to the range, ammo is expensive, etc.) I'm not pesting or precision target shooting most of the time. Its often just destroying a few soda cans for the enjoyment of it. My experience with the Avenger and CPHPs is as you said, I have other pellets that are more accurate in it. That said, I was able to find regulator and hammer settings that made it acceptable for me (usually within about the size of a quarter or so at 25 yard). It took a little experimenting to find where is seemed happiest (but I enjoyed the experimenting). Now I can shoot soda cans for fun, its accurate enough at my 25 yard range, and cost less than 1/4 of the more accurate pellets. If any starlings or house sparrows venture into my backyard, I use the better pellets for a more assured clean kill

. For cans, I'm happier burning through a few hundred CPHP at a time for simple fun.

I agree it could be the Crosman pellets that's causing poor accuracy. My Notos sure doesn't like them. Mine shoots the Jts 18.1 with good accuracy. It also could be a scope problem especially if it's not a A.O. scope

I'll have to see if the replacement likes CPHP at all (some people seem to claim theirs does). If I'm lucky, it will be okay with them at 25 yards. I'm pretty sure its not a scope problem. It is an A.O. scope (UTG Bugbuster 3-9X32), which has proved itself in working order on other airguns as well as powder burning .22s. My Avenger has the large 4-16X44 FFP Veyron because its already big and heavy and I pretty much only shoot it from stationary positions. With the notos being so much smaller and lighter, I wanted to go with a smaller simpler scope. As noted below, it was on the receiver, not the shroud part of the rail.

Thanks everyone!

The cs4 models will do it. Advantages of course are...
The Cs4 is fairly quite for a compressor
You can take it, and your tanks with you. Refill as you shoot.
And of course you can fill your guns directly if ever desired.

I ran a Yong Heng for a couple years, sure it was faster... but it's loud, needs support such as a water source, and you're not taking that thing with you anywhere.

If you go with GX order directly from them or Amazon. I do sell some open box and refurbished ones on Ebay.

@BrazosbyNemo , Every time I pick up that book, Pistol Shooting the Olympic Disciplines, I find another thing that fascinates me. I wish I could have lived in an area where that sort of shooting was a "thing" when I was young. If I was truly serious I would have a Steyr Evo 10E and a SCATT training system. Combined they are still cheaper than a bass boat or an Unlimited Benchrest .22 with a one piece rest and scope. However, my AV/IZH 46M in my 9.3M basement range is more than enough of a challenge. Heck, in terms of rifle my CMP M853 is a challenge. When I get frustrated I get either my tuned FX Streamline or the tuned AA S200 and put a couple in the 10 ring just to make myself feel good - and deluded

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.

just FYI, I picked up one in .177 about a month ago. According to Rich, the .177’s are new, just not in boxes. I cut down the hammer spring and this thing is a tack driver. He is having a Black Friday sale on them. $169. Don’t pass this up if you are even considering one. You won’t be sorry. A $600 gun when they came out. If you don’t know about the spring shortening mod, or are afraid to try it, just order his tune kit. I put one in my Cayden, and it worked great. I am ordering one for the Akela as well. Mine likes Zan 13g slugs a lot, and is not really pellet picky.
