Update from Mac1

Don.Chipmunk-slayer
**Update on the Update**

As you all saw, I got the rifle back. Unfortunately there were a few issues. I called Tim and explained what was going on. He immediately took ownership of the problems, saying "That's all on me, send it back and I WILL make it right."

It arrived back at his shop this past Tuesday (2 days ago). Yesterday, I get a notification that Mac1 Airguns has shipped a package to me. I was a bit confused, because when I had spoken with Tim, he wasn't sure how long he would need the rifle. So I called and he told me, "Yes, your rifle is on its way back, it's good to go now."

He had totally disassembled the rifle, rehoned and polished the air tube, went over the valve with a fine toothed comb, making 100% sure it was perfect inside and out. He replaced all the seals, even though they were new, then pressure tested the whole thing.

This was done Tuesday, the same day it arrived. He then shipped it back yesterday and it's due home this coming Tuesday.

I have to give Tim credit for outstanding customer service and support.

EFT @ Gradys in pa

Shot a EFT at Gradys air gun world in Newville pa on saturday. Phone app was calling for rain and it was very overcast even started to rain a little before the match started but quit. There were 4 targets per lane and 10 lanes for a 40 target match to be shot twice. Ranges were 20-109 yds. Had the ghost 25 cal 23” barrel and 33.9 aea with a Helos 6-24x56. Shot the first 40 targets only missing 1 we took a break to air up and went right back to the second 40 hoping to avoid rain. Towards the end the wind was picking up pretty good having to hold completely off target on a couple but managed to only miss 2 more targets! Took first place with a score of 77 out if 80! Great day at a well run event!

Tuning  SSS vs BStaley vs SSG vs TSS

Tricky-Dicky
Firmly in the SSG camp, and use it on most of my guns, but does take a bit of lateral thinking on some applications, the only gun not to benefit much from it was my AA FTP900 which saved a bit of air, but consistency was not really any better which I guess shows the original setup is pretty good.

PCP collection near complete

Hobbyman2007
Finished up the HW100 conversion to .20 caliber. Tuned it to shoot the 13.73 JSB’s to 820 fps . Now just need to check the accuracy. The barrel I used was from an HW90 which is 16mm OD and was cut to fit inside the shroud at 410mm same as the factory. I hope it’s as accurate as the 177 and 22 are.

Tuning  SSS vs BStaley vs SSG vs TSS

Hobbyman2007
The SSG is by far the best way to increase shot count and efficiency. AI did cover the most part . The problem with the SSG as mentioned is often difficult to make depending on how much room there is in the action or even in the stock. I use the TSS mostly in my rifles as it’s easy and I have quite an assortment of springs which makes tuning much easier.

Diana  Diana model 10 is a honker

marflow 777
rear cap is off and yes it is 1:30AM in the Seattle area, it was SOB to get off and yes it would have kept me awake all night
the rear cap has the factory original spacer behind the step washer and the rear piston seal was never changed
now i sent all the parts needed back to him
rear cap is soaking in acetone
side gear caps are loose already so i can take the guts out as planned
to say i am disappointed would be a huge understatement
i guess if you want it done right do it yourself
and the rear cap was taken off with a 6 inch vise and an old Bianchi leather belt
more to come

30-Yard Challenge

I have a leaderboard submission.

Shot 9/17/25 about 8 this morning in 3mph winds (I ignored)
198 16X
Caiman X with Vector Sintenel 10-40 set at 40X
AEA 21.9 at 840 fps

I tested pellets last year when I got the Caiman and settled on H&N 18 grain which gave me a 200 last year. The regulator was at 95 bar as I received it. I then tried slugs and it shot H&N slugs fairly well but not as accurately so I switched it back. I set the regulator at about 105 bar. No real reason. But with the regulator a little higher I have been unable to get back to the same accuracy with the H&N or other 18 grain pellets. It was not terrible but it was not upper 190s accurate. I was well below peak velocity. So on a whim I shot some AEA 21.9s that my P35-22 loves. They looked promising so I tried some different velocities, just shooting groups adjusting only the hammer spring, and they seem to shoot best at about 840 fps. I think it's a tune thing but if somebody else has a gun that likes them at that velocity please let me know. I sat down to see if I couldn't do better than my previous 197 with this gun this year and the POI kept jumping around. It was wearing the Arken EPL-4 6-24 I've pretty much always used on it and never had a problem with. I bought the Vector Sentinel 10-40 because I've been happy with the Sentinel 8-32, it gave me 3 200s, and I got it for just over $160 from Amazon last week. They do not have glass even close to the Arken but it is holding a zero as the 8-32 always has. I wish I knew why I am having scope problems.

Anyway, I think this is one point and a couple Xs better than my previous best for this gun this year so I am submitting it.

Jim, scores getting in high 190’sconsistently. 😀

My Taipan .22 Vet 2 long likes the AEA 21.9g at 910-925 FPS range. Have shot a 200, a few 199’s and a couple dozen 30y targets in the mid to upper 190’s with this velocity. These have been previously posted in this thread. I shot it at 850 once, and the gun was set up by Tony to shoot 21.9g at 910 fps.

At these velocities my ES values are typically less than 15, with many strings under 10. Pretty consistent shot to shot values.

It’s a heavier pellet for most of our .22 cal 28-32 FPE rifles, but they are great quality and they seem to do well on the 30y and 40y challenge cards for me.

Diana  Diana model 10 is a honker

marflow 777
i just couldn't take it, so apart it came
you know i hate to say it but this job i paid money for was done very poorly
rear sight screws were 2 turns loose the barrel pivot area is as dry as a bone, the front piston has not one bit of oil or grease present i see no oil or grease anywhere and the rear cap which i have not got off, the screw was not in place
this coming from, at the time a well thought of rebuilder, i am not an expert but at the same time i am a damn good mechanic and that means there is one way to do it, THE RIGHT WAY
they come apart besides the rear cap in 15 minutes if you are slow
i have to take a spring out that will clear the sear and the guts
tomorrow i will see what the problem is, oh wait THERE IS NO DAMN LUBE IN THE PISTOL HOW BLOOD STUPID
you can tell i am pissed oh well i have another 10 to do this will be practice

HP slug or non hp slug

Rooster , I have had great expansion from 25+gr. MKll Knockouts(.216) on pigeons & really tears starlings up. We aren't allowed to pop doves off in Pa. w/ anything other than shotguns, so can't comment on them. Oh ,I'm shooting the KO's at a little over 910fps out of my AirMaks Katran HP.

Thanks for the specs. 👍🏼
That's helpful.

Now I just need to find a used RTI RPB barrel (600mm, so I can get them up to speed) — and I'll get cracking on the rats with wings.... 😆

Other  Walther Model 55 & SIG HAMMERILI 401 (420)

Swissair
As Mike said, the LG55 was a top class 10m match rifle in its day, and it was the top of the Walther range from 1955 until 1964 when they brought out the LGV. The Swiss team used LG55-M rifles to win the inaugural 10m air rifle world championship in 1966 in Wiesbaden, Germany. I believe the Tyrolean stocks had already been banned for competition by then.
Easy guns to strip and service but the piston head/seal fitting can be problematical if someone fired the gun with a perished seal, and if it's a synthetic seal, it will be perished. I was lucky and could straighten the threaded end and rethread it, so I just needed a new seal and the retaining nut (the original was smashed from the dry firing).
In good working order it will definitely be shooting 550-600fps. Very little recoil thanks to its weight, super trigger release, top notch barrel, and very accurate rifles!
