More rat kills with my Ghost,with a couple slow motion kills.

Great videos. So satisfying to see these clips. I’m a nighttime vermin hunter as well, so this post really spoke to my heart.

At close range like you’re shooting here, I have really good luck with RWS Super Mags. They are absolutely DEVASTATING on rodents! They’re like a heavy wadcutter design and meant for exactly this type of pesting. They’re usually pretty inexpensive as well.

Good hunting, sir!

Huma inline tank regulator

I recently also bought this regulator, however, one thing doesnt make sense for me. Initally when I connected it to my 300 bar scuba tank, I opened the main valve of the scuba tank and the regulator red 0, even though the manometer of my scuba tank red like 260 bar or so. Then I loosened the big bronze screw you show here, turning it counter clockwise. Now I get outgoing pressure. However, in the manual, it says the regulator comes with the standard spring stack setting(max 200 bar). However, if I turn the big bronze screw counter clockwise enough, I can also get outgoing reg pressure of 220-230 bar, even though I didnt change the spring stack, so the maximum should be 200 bar, I am somewhat confused.
Ha! Yes it is confusing but I figured it out some time ago but now can’t remember how I got it set to my needs. I remember playing with it for sometime.

My First Rifle, Predator Control

Thank You. That looks like a good price. It does still have the exclusively right side lever like nearly all others. I shoot from my left shoulder. It's really not a deal breaker. As most lefties can attest, it's just a fact of life.
I'll definitely take a closer look at that though. Thx again
That P15 is A LOT of gun for the money. Of course so is the Avenger. I don’t think I saw what kind of predators you’re keeping away from the chickens. Raccoon? .25 is perfect. Coyote? Mmmmmmmaybe a .30?

Sightron S-tac ?

I have been tempted several times to buy this scope.

But looking at the specs, I was always taken aback by the comparatively low FoV at the bottom magnification.....
Only 22ft at 4x....
(Some 6-24x have a wider FoV.)

4-20x usually have a wider FoV than the Sightrons at 4x:
32ft (Swampfox Warhawk)
28ft (Athlon Helos + Heras | HiLux | Hawke Frontier | Vector Paragon)

For rushed close range shots — I feel I need around 30ft of FoV at min. mag.

❓ Acoustics Question: Projectile Flight Noise 𐃘 How to keep it down?

Just now reading — had a full Sunday, like always.

Thanks for all your attempts to get to the bottom of this.
It is intringuing, that's for sure.


Mark, I'm sorry you've had some health issues! 😞

Dave and you all, thanks for your concern about safety.... — we've got some dividing walls in place. 👍🏼


So, my guesstimates are as good as yours (or a bit worse, since I failed physics in school at least once 🤦🏻‍♂️):
I might achieve less flight noise with:
⭓ lower velocity
⭓ smaller caliber
⭓ slugs (rather than waisted pellets)


Still need an accustics engineer to respond to this thread — or I need to get out there and do some test shooting. Any volunteers for the listening post...? Any?!? 😉

Diana  Diana mod 5 worn pivot

well nylon is a but hard but it could
if you look at the seal shim total you are looking at from 2.5mm to 2.9 mm
i have a Diana P5 it was later called the 5G mag but the breech doesn't close enough and it is a metal to metal fit
i found a front sight to correct the problem and the real fix is to remove my barrel and remove material and test the problem is the barrel linkage hardware is different and one of the hardest assembles to reassemble
my point is the pistols were never prefect and the shims were the quick fix
if the Dura of the material was in the 80-90 range there is not reason it would not work and how to adjust how proud it sits could be adjusted
now i have no idea if your breech cross screw is damaged or the seal needs shimming
i have model 5's here and i could remove the screw and measure it for you and taking the barrel of isn't hard
set screw out cross screw out and i little wiggling clean inspect and see
but shimming is easy to test

Yet another Yong Heng Mod

So, ive had my yong heng for about a year. It has begun NOT pressurizing above 160-180 bar. Oil chnaged a week or so ago (second since new). Changed all the air filters in line. Still hangs up.?? Any ideas?
The most common problems I experienced were check valves getting gummed up and high-pressure piston failure. Some Yong Hengs and clones seem to go on and on, while others are nothing but failure after failure. I've had (5) of them but switched to GX CS3 with a Nuoge (GX CS1 clone as a spare).

If you need photos of the internals of Yong Hengs, I have many.

Yet another Yong Heng Mod

I wonder how much difference an interstage cooler would make. Anyone know what the pressure is between first and second stage is? I have been considering wrapping the transfer tubing in copper wire to see what the effect would be. It appears to me that a moisture/oil trap between stages would be beneficial to the life of the second stage valves based on the inspection of mine.
The pressure output from the first stage is 165 -180 PSIG. When I as running Yong Hengs, I used one of the old fashioned, hand-held compression testers to measure first stage pressure when doing diagnosis. It is one of the few features I miss in other compressors.

Crosman  Crosman 2240XL still available?

don't see them on Crosman's site
now opinion
when Gamo took over Daisy some of the best-known guns the 7-7 pistols and the 853 just disappeared and also the parts
now Gamo has told Crosman they can no longer seal internal seal to customers
so, i would not be surprised if what happens at Crosman will not be surprising
now the XL was a product when it first came out as i real head scratcher
a 2240 with a breech and threaded barrel and no way to shoot it till you mounted some sort of sight
now we see that with rifles but with pistols i do not remember one
could you make your own XL sure easy enough and the elephant in the room is how will this offshore production come and bite us and Crosman in the A$$

❓ Acoustics Question: Projectile Flight Noise 𐃘 How to keep it down?

No, I meant I feel your pain exactly . Got shot at by somebody on horseback with a rifle, I was on a motorcycle with permission for those trails from the owner. That sorta thing. The ak incident for me was very different, but scary. Glad you're OK too.
I'm sure military guys get that a lot, and are very fortunate to come home, we should all be thankful for their service..
but is civilians? getting shot at on purpose is one bad thing.. AK 47 full auto is another..
to be honest I started packing a 45 Ruger old army black powder.. figured one round in their direction might get them behind cover instead of shooting but more importantly if have plenty of smoke cover to vanish into the woods, not sure dates but it's possible I had my baby girl with me.. now that's fighting matter if it was.. but I don't remember..

❓ Acoustics Question: Projectile Flight Noise 𐃘 How to keep it down?

@markhooper Gyroscopically stable = stabilized by spinning. This refers to slugs.

Pellets are stabilized by drag as air moves across and around the pellet’s skirt.

This is my understanding.
thank you, it's more than I know.
always good to learn something.
