Both of your cold shots look pretty solid at 50y and outside with environmental factors in play.

Yeah, I guess I expect too much sometimes. Usually, if I do my part, the shot will be in the red.

Speaing of enviromental factors, I did go out yesterday morning, but it was too windy and I did not feel that variable belonged in this cold shot test. So it will be another week before I have any time to shoot. Gotta make a living ya know.

Congratulations

Caleb That’s what I talking about

You didn't do your homework, and bought a poopty spring gun. And your wants for a first timer w/pcp aren't completely realistic either.

Having said that, a Marauder is your best bet.

Never been one to have a bucket list, but, I'd sure like to go shoot some iggys some day.

You come down here we can shoot as many as we can see, and there will be more than plenty.

I would not paint a CF tank, but if you do, use caution that you do not use products that can react with the resins in the carbon fiber composite.
I have seen people ruin motorcycle helmets by painting them.

I thought shooting Raptors was Illegal on a Federal Level. Why on God's Green Earth would someone shot a Raptor? UGH.

Smitty

I’m in the UK, and yep, that’s illegal—6 months in jail and a fine. Most raptor killings happen on gamebird shoot land, where they’re seen as threats. A dead raptor costs nothing, a dead pheasant’s worth 40 quid. Game bird shooting is very popular here and many farmers lease their land for it. Like most evils, it’s all about profit. Breaks my heart.

It's not designed to take grease continually. It will of course if the gasket is removed and then that excess grease needs to be removed if it happens. My compressors gasket decided to slip into the cup and allow all the grease to be sucked down onto the crank. I contacted their customer service and was told to remove that excess grease out of there and make sure not to allow it to happen again or it can cause problems.
I had some thin rubber so I used the grease cup as a template and made my own with a tiny hole in it just like the factory one (too bad these aren't available)
The problem is the gasket was so ripped that it wouldn't stop the grease from entering when the pump is running.
How it's supposed to work is there is always some suction happening as the machine runs but the grease is supposed to be limited by that faulty gasket. After every 4 hour cycle, you are supposed to turn the screw one revolution to put some pressure onto the gasket and that tiny hole allowing a small amount of that grease to have enough pressure to make it through the tiny hole.

how do I know if I have turned the grease knob too much or too soon. I think I may ahve put too much grease in. how do I remove excess?

UPS counters at the hubs are being discontinued.
this is happening now
will have to go to ups stores for future help…not a joke…worked for UPS for 34 years
Counters at the hubs will close by January
Mike

If "UPS stores" refers to the franchise privately-owned locations, then UPS will not be an option for shipping any type of firearm or air rifle, assuming the franchise agreement has not changed. I expect that ultimately, any type of firearm/air rifle shipping will have to be between FFL holders. And many local gun shops may not offer this service, or only at a substantial fee. Neither the government nor the shipping companies want any connection to unlicensed "gun" trade, and the gun shops are in business to sell their inventory, not facilitate transactions that represent competition. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks kind of discouraging.

Like the correct grease to use in it ain't that covered in that units manual ? . Lol.

Welllllll... It says to us PH neutral coolant. That seems to be not so easy to find unless you want to buy a $300 5 gallon bucket of it.

A.G.R · Oct 17, 2024

Thank you to all you fellas.. I have really came to love the HW80 platform. I especially like the newer guns with the sliding new cocking shoe and the front machined removable mounting bracket with spring pressure cocking arm .. Two weak points on the older welded Beeman and such. Newer Records have hardened middle Sears now which need less messing with to get right in the zone ..

15 to 20 ft lbs in .22 is perfect depending on barrel.. 14 to 15 ft lbs with 10.3 in .177 , anything bigger is not needed and shot cycles suffer ..The guns are really spring dependent , change barrels , chances are a new spring combo will be needed … …….

I have a few Hw80 .22 barrels here (not for sale) factory , k series as well as my own choked and unchoked .. in different lengths for testing.. it’s AMAZING how each barrel reacts to the gun.. Shot cycle changes as well as accuracy. . I ve said it before and I’ll repeat it.. NO TWO GUNS ARE EXACT ,EVEN IF THEY ARE THE EXACT GUNS AND BUILD SPECS

******* (I have another R1 .177 build that’s ground up build , I will post in another thread , once the owner receives it today).

Congratulations Caleb !

Well done and so well deserved

dgeesaman · Oct 17, 2024

If you’re writing off springers completely based on a Gamo, keep in mind you still haven’t shot a decent springer. Don't buy a magnum springer unless you really need it.

I took your advice and ordered from Krale. Thank you for pointing them out.

I have also purchased a few rifles from Krale. I have an R7 and a HW30, you will not be disappointed in the rifle or the order with Krale.

shambozzie · Oct 17, 2024

Very nice. What caliber? Stock up on favorite pellets/slugs and have fun.

First foray into the air rifle scene, just got a Notos (aka rabbit prevention device). I’m a little bummed, the magazine won’t fit in the breach. Pyramyd is shipping me a new mag. I’ve read the stock mags are for crap anyway, so will be ordering some aftermarket ones soon.

I was searching for something better than a Daisy 880 and oh snap, how little I knew of the world I just opened up - lol.

Excited to get into and get this thing fired up and shootin.

Look up member here, Tango Sierra, he has your mags!

Made in the USA!

FAST shipping too!

I started with springers 35? years ago.. I totally understand what you are saying, rws Diana 34 break barrel 177 was perfect until I tried to scope it.. my opinion scoped it wasn't worth 2 cents.. but shot great open sights..I took think it was the barrel movement.. got a rws Diana 48 in 22 and it shot even better open sights I think because I don't care what it's doing, can be blowing sideways and if I want to shoot I will.. scoped it and was very happy with it.
I can't take the recoil anymore, not fun getting old, but I still think about that old 48 and get tempted anytime I see a 54.. I really messed up and missed a laminate one on eBay but you never know..
so PCP.. you better think about the air source..I have had a Omega trail charger for 8 years and it's been good, just pumps air.. got it from Airguns of Arizona..
avenger might be good, I don't know..I have a liberty nova similar to the avenger, I think pre avenger it's got open sights which you will have a hard to finding on PCP airguns now..
I have a notos, open sights pistol grip.. the factory open sights won't work on the gun with a stock..
decent gun..
I just started shooting airforce Condor, they are not regulated but for the long distance shooting I've been doing, well I don't think it would get any better with a regulator..
pellet on pellet after a few shots sighting in at 50 yards.. can't wait to stretch out to 100-200- well 500 yards if I can find a clearing..

Welcome to the dark side!

Shout out to battlehawkarmory.com. The Notos is currently going for less than $200. I was hesitant because of the low price ("You get what you pay for."), but I "pulled the trigger." Since the gun was so much cheaper than most other sites, I was able to add in a Maple Customs 15-shot magazine. Just a word of warning, the 15-shot magazine sits pretty high. I had to add a riser for my Bushnell red dot. Finally zeroed in my scope and got my first kill! One less rodent that digs through my garden. If you do pick up the Notos from battlehawk, expect at least 2 weeks for the shipment. The gun and packaging looked and feels brand new. I'm loving it.

My set of Notos arrived in 7 days. Well packed, guns look great.

Gen lll guns so not old stock.

88turbocoupe · Oct 17, 2024

yes, got an email on the 10th.
i would have thought it would have shipped on the 10th or Friday the 11th.
there website isn't so great I'm going to call today as it still has not shipped.
i see that someone said they had some kind of event still no excuse imo.

rokonman · Oct 17, 2024

I also have used the term pneumatic hole punch when shipping. The best part is it absolutely true. The USPS actually has a written policy on air guns and it’s friendly. I keep a 5 year old copy in my glove box. I hope it hasn’t changed.

I'm an early millennial but Jesus, never seen such a worthless group. Wrong change, they fall apart confronted with ANYthing other than soft tones and praise. Unemployable. Disrespectful, devoid of hope and purpose.

Man, I didn't know whether to put a "haha" reaction to your post, or a "sad face"... Because it's a tragi-comedy regarding the gen Z. Most, if not all you've said is true and the sad part is that it's not just the US, it's the whole western world youth that's like that. In my country we even got a new subculture, the Gassers and if any, they're probably going to be responsible for an air rifles ban in my country. A month ago, some idiot going to !note! elementary school, posted an image of him holding up an older HW, with a note/tag that read something along the lines of: "My classmate is cooked!", or maybe it was: she's going down something... And of course the media reacted and some folks in the news forums outright demanded a ban on air rifles, can you imagine?

...And about two years ago, another idiot shot at insane asylum patients from a tall building next to it, with... you've guessed it, an air rifle.

Crazy man.

Thought that I read that Zerex G48 anti freeze mix 70/30 with distilled water. This is supposed to give the neutral pH recommended.
No 1st hand experience, not having a CS4

This is true of all antifreeze as far as I know.

Keep in mind that using mixed antifreeze with less water than recommended will result in poorer heat transfer.
