it's what I do with my oxygen and acetylene torch..

Ya definetly got the bleeding air part.. But How do you keep pressure. I was thinking I need to plug the output 99% so only a touch of air escapes so then I can get a reading of the output pressure gauge.

Yes I agree the gauges suck, but if I get it 95% there I can do a bit of fine adjustment when hooked into rifle.

The OP said he planned to hunt. I do not know of any spring gun that can provide the power and accuracy to reach out to 50 yards on small to medium size game. Magnum spring guns rattle themselves apart, ruin scopes if you can even get the scope to not move. For small critter hunting/pesting, something like a TX200 or equal or better quality under lever might be a good bet instead of a PCP. But a PCP effortlessly delivers the power and accuracy that spring guns can only dream of once the critters get bigger and the distances greater. And in .25 and .30 calibers needed for those bigger animals.

Still comes down to don't let it slip out of your hand decocking .. after a good cleaning that slick oiled gun can slip ..

I think just load a pellet and fire it after a cleaning to blow out the barrel of left over residue in it .. first shot after cleaning tends to be just off the mark sometimes anyway.

I don't cock them at all. But yeah, if you have them back very far there's going to be tension.

I suppose I have "de-cocked" a rifle but I can't remember ever doing it. If I cock it I shoot it.

I did have a Hatsan that snapped up cocking it. Had one of those composite barrels with a liner in it. It shot way high but I pulled down hard on the barrel and it fixed it. It shoots straight to this day. It didn't require much pressure at all.

I'm interested to hear more about this design. Is there a design file for the shroud insert? Are you still considering selling the now shortened Notos? I think that shorty would be a blast for kids with the stock attached! I'm a couple days from being able to send/receive PMs (still too new), but if you're willing to post more about this in the thread, I'd appreciate it. And thanks for sharing!

I sent you a PM, hopefully you can reply and we can talk and share.

Found this information while i was researching this very topic in regards to the Hybrid. Measured by Matt Dubber awhile back, but he also said it worked great for him even at 980~1000fps, i think the velocity is only half of the equation, wouldn't know till you try it out at the range you're targeting.

I was having trouble responding to your post yesterday. I wound up having to change internet carriers to fix it?

Anyway, droop can be checked by mounting an opticly centered scope, then shooting to find the point of impact compared to the point of aim, before adjusting it.
The target that I included shows my 97K's first five shots at 30 yards with an opticly centered scope.

View attachment 505030

That info let me know that I was going to need moa adjustable rings to raise the back of the scope to compensate for that misalignment. My plan was shooting to out 75 yards.

Trying to adjust that out of the scope turrets can get you too close to the scopes stops, and I think that's a bad idea especially with a springer beating on it.

Perfect explanation. Much appreciated.

A fitted block of wood that fit between the tube and breech block when opened (90°). To just chock and prevent that happening would work good ..

That is exactly how I do it on the springer. I use a much thinner wedge but the same idea.

For the 97 I've got a 1" round piece of hardwood about 1.5" long with a taper at one end. You stuff it in there one way to clean it. Turn it around the other way to replace the breech seal. I stuff it under the cocking lever to keep the pressure off the breech seal in storage.

It's a far out and groovy airgun accessory I made from a tornillo mesquite limb. But a piece of 3/4" schedule 40 pvc would work dandy too.

I don’t see any answer about this… does anybody know of magazines that are low enough so I can use low rings. currently I have a vector continental 34mm 3-18x56 thats sits perfectly on my panthera hunter compact on low rings but the original mag will not fit so I’m using single shot. I wished there was a mag that sits flush of the pic rail like rectangular.

I should invent as I would make a ton of money.

there is a mini version i ordered that i might be able to get away with mid rings

i wish there is a better way

My advice is go back to break barrel. Or even better, multi pumps. Pcp is the rabbit hole. Once you fall in, there no getting back out.

Sounds like a shooter problem to me. Spend the time learning to shoot a springer, and they are every bit as accurate as a PCP. Springers are not a instant gratification gun. But there are advantages. Just your gun and a tin of pellets, constant power shot to shot. No tanks, hand pumps, compressors etc. And you better be able to fix your PCPs once the seals mess up, and they will.

Tried PCP. It was fun for awhile but became a brick sitting in the corner. Just a hassle.

There is a lot to be said about the simplicity of a springer. PCP is definitely not a rabbit hole I'll be going down.

Not true at all. The united states postal service ships handguns all the time, normal citizens cannot, but FFL holders can. The usps price for shipping handguns is a small percent of Fedex or UPS who both require next day air and going to a hub in person to ship. I sent a really nice collectable PB revolver to a member on this board across the country, the package weighed over 20lbs, was oversize for about 10-12 percent of what Fedex wanted. I used a mom and pop FFL I deal with here to ship it, they only charge USPS cost + 10 dollars for the transfer, unlike most FFL's around here that will rape you on the price. of both shipping and the transfer fee. Never checked on UPS since nearest facility that accepts firearms for shipping was too far to drive.

Correct. If you go back to the OP's original post, the assumption is an unlicensed shipper.

PRS rimfire has an airgun division. There's 3 of us shooting this weekend.

Did you guys have to finish in a top percentage based on airgun division scores during the year? If you would briefly explain I'd appreciate it.

i just break it open and clean with a pull through patch , just open not under tension at all .

Quick question for the Group. I have a general idea what to do but it involves making some parts. Wondering if there is a better simpler solution.

I have a regulator on my tank valve that can be set to 150-300 BAR.. I want to set it to 175-180 BAR (2600 PSI). I turned it all the way to the 150min, so now have to work it back up.

What is best way to do this OFF the gun as I don't want to blow the seals in case something goes wrong. I want to set it and then hookup to gun. Bottle has 4000 PSI in it currently.

This is the valve I have.

Thanks
