Any idea what year that was or how to read the serial number to date the rifle’s born on date?

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.

I have been shooting the .218 H&N 34gr. heavy from my DRS.
I have found them to be accurate from 900 to 1000fps so 945fps should be fine.

I find I need to clean my barrel after 200 to 400 shots.
Try 5 to 10 bar more reg pressure and then reduce hammer spring tension to get back to 945fps.

Got it today, packaging perfect even FedEx didn’t damage. So here goes my first ever written review of anything. Unboxed and was wow this is cool. Actually read the manual as I’m new to Airguns. Tried to run a bore snake through cutting the brass weight to fit the breech. Wouldn’t go all the way, tried from muzzle and the loop on the end wouldn’t fit. O well I tried.

Pumped it up with my Amazon ndcyjg $200 compressor. Took 7 minutes 10 seconds to 3600 psi from 0. Figured out how to load and shot a couple close to trap just to check. Luckily had some Burris rings on another unused scope hidden away cause I forgot about ordering rings for my brand new Athlon heras 6x24. Pellets I used was some very cheap Daisy. They were around 8 bucks for 500. I had to weigh cause it wasn’t listed on packaging or tin. 15.3 grains.

My cellar range is 40 ft, sighted in and started shooting group.
Big whoooh this gun doesn’t sit on my various rests and bags I have. ive got all conventional stocked guns. More shopping tonight. Anyhow did the best I could. Easy neat one hole 5 shot groups. Then I started having fun shooting single holes and not enlarging the hole. after 2 mags I was watching the pressure. I read you didn’t get many shots. I got 55 shots before I noticed gauges dropping. 60 shots were on target before I quit for dinner.

Couple days ago tried some led s on my shooting chrony for indoor use. Didn’t work and I ordered brighter multiple led little panels and try again.
i did receive a $27 clamp on chronograph the other day. After getting it to work right on my Reximex pistol put it on a Buckrail sile.. ( o can’t say that) moderator. Put it on the ZELOS, I didn’t write it down but was all around 960fps.
Very happy if this $600 listed price gun ( you can get cheaper) is this good what’s a $2500 gun like? I don’t think I’ll find out cause it can’t be that much better .
No wonder Ive got another hobby

I took a risk, I bought a tuxing twin and so far it’s been great. Seco 100 oil, and an extra filter besides the twin tower. I added an hour meter and let it run for 20 minutes with no load on it before it filled a tank. It’s pretty quiet and doesn’t seem to strain getting up to 300 bar. It takes 13 minutes to fill my 45 min SCBA from 3400 to 4500, that includes filling the twin tower and my auxiliary filter. Time will tell……..

So conscientious of you to test it before presenting it to your bud… Definitely “squirrel approved”…

this was added after airforce acquired RAW/theoben
They also changed the name to worx from weapons.

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.

igolfat8 · 2024-11-27T20:13:46-0600

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?

woogie_man · 2024-11-27T20:10:41-0600

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 900-950 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. $900-1000.

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?
