generally speaking.... ARCA gives the best overall SECURE attachment... and a good ARCA adapter or bipod is money well spent.
the more things you add to make things adapt... the more wiggle becomes a factor. Less is more. IMO.

Don’t disagree, but when you don’t have the right bipod, you have to find workarounds until you do… easy to test at $10-$40 vs another $300 bipod for one rifle.

I finally went to the gun range. Despite 35 deg temp and 15 mph wind . The sun was shining and I got a chance to finish all the markings on my field target side wheel.
Then I set up at 55 yards and just shot till I found the proper holdover for 55 yards. Then a little plinking before it was just to cold and windy. I had a great time . Finally knocking down a field target felt great. It’s been a couple years since I got to shoot out past 25 yards.

I did this too with my Epoch, longer screws and a cheap multipack of pic rails on Amazon. Measured the rail and purchased long screws since they aren’t standard MLOK length. I think maybe 14m screws and then sanded them down so there was no extra to hit the bottle.

I have also purchased an ARCA to pic adapter. I got the Delta from Utah Air. I wasn’t happy when the pic rail portion came as plastic, but it works. (I was ok cheating out on plastic parts from Amazon, because knew they were plastic and cheap.)

That’s the problem with them… no communication. Been hearing about the new guns for 2 years and it looks like AOA just got one a couple days ago.

Yeah, it’s really sad. I spoke with Tom for the past nine or 10 years and he always seemed like a gentleman on the phone but then again most con artist do.

I like fine wood on ANY gun.Be Well Brothers, B.

Yep - Dramatically.
Also eliminated damage caused to the slug by shearing.

Good to know, my U2 getting ridiculous dirty insanely quick, under 100shots shooting slugs and it will be black when I pull patches double patching like 8-9 times in a row everytime.

It's not that bad. I'm not touching the crown. For me that's a last ditch effort for bad guns. I'll do what I should have done when I had it apart. Broom out the barrel with a bronze brush and polish the bore to get a fresh start. If this was only fed Crosmans it might be antimony fouled. No amount of shooting or patching will clear that. It looked to be a low use rifle so I only patch cleaned and slugged the barrel. It also may just need to be shot more. Many of these guns get more accurate with use from smoothing the bore. My 95 and 30s are among my most accurate and they have stupid amounts of shots down their pipe.

I'd like to suggest using Rumble for your next live stream. They don't jam channels that promote shooting sports.

I’m confused. I thought I bought this app for a one time charge of $7.99. This is for the basic, the yearly fee is for whatever the “ tools” are.

I just check it again, it looks like the developer changed some things around since my OP or when I was playing with it earlier this year.

The hex head screws and Ren Wax is my personal choice. I would wax the metal with it as well. It does wonders for old stocks too. It did OK on my 1903 M/S but magnificently on my 1905 Steyr M/S

Well that is what Thadius told me Saturday on the phone, from Utah Air. He is also the one that confirmed twice 3 weeks ago the heavy was 1 in 16. Supposedly Utah is the main distributor now for FX. You would think they would get their product info straight. The STX Heavy in 700 mm will not stabilize a 20 grain slug. When asked about this Thadius said the barrel is designed for 13 to 15 grain slugs. Not exactly what we were after when I initially purchased the barrels. Here is 20.5 NSA slugs at 50 yards.

Is it a PCP? Release the pressure.

Mine you could move the safety cocked/uncocked. It moves a set screw under the teeter totter, check your adjustments. That teeter totter trigger is a pain to adjust to where you like it.

It sounds to me these grease pot additions are a joke in itself and more problems than what they're worth....Nothing more than a marketing gimmick?

There are three common types of compressed air dryers: refrigerated compressed air dryers, membrane compressed air dryers and desiccant compressed air dryers.
* Refrigerated dryers-----Are used in heavy use operations where the compressor runs constantly in a shop environment. consist of an air-to-air heat exchanger and an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. If the shop temperature is high and or humid, these are the best. Take out a mortgage for these units, very expensive.
* Desiccant dryers----These are great for the release of moister buildup if a drain valve is attached at the bottom. These units are a must to use outdoors on a construction site in cold weather months. In the past, I have had my hoses and nailers freeze up.
* Membrane dryers---- Membrane dryers use highly selective membranes to dry the compressed air. They are able to achieve pressure dew points between +15 and -40 °C and are therefore widely used for a wide range of application. Take out a mortgage for these units, very expensive.
Ambient room temperature is key when filling your units. Nothing will last forever, even if you take out a mortgage to do so.....It's your money!

Hi, I’m moving to Spain and want to take my airgun with me. Sub 12ft/lbs. Airlines charge a fortune and I can’t find any couriers that will accept it. How can I get it shipped to Spain for a normal cost. If I pay 100£ and above I might aswell sell it as it only cost 180.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Why not just take along in a gun hardcase on the plane like your suitcases. Pay the extra overcharge. That might just be the cheapest. I have exported a lot of guns(firearms) here & there. If its a $180 gun I would give it to someone I like. Had it been a $45000 Holland & holland gun then I could set you up with a broker. Sorry for sounding too snobby but bring along your gun and pay what it cost if gun has sentimental value but otherwise it not worth it for a $180 popgun.

At 25 yards all my 177 Weihrauchs will put 5 completely under a nickel (edge to edge) with their regular favorite pellet an a very light breeze. Under a dime with me on a good day or with an exceptionally good fitting tin. With me on a good day, an exceptional tin in a dead calm my better 177s (95 & 97) will clover leaf at least three, usually four and occasionally all five with not much paper between cloverleaf and outlyer..

Yesterday was a good day for me and the 77 was mostly nickels and some dimes. My R8 actually did better than the 77 yesterday it was all dimes and cloverleafs. Which is odd because R8 barrel has the roughest leade I've ever seen and didn't slug well. The 77 slugged great so I expected great thing's from it. Similar to my 97. I'm not giving up on the 77 yet.
