hello everyone
so i bought the FX IMPACT M4 while still having the M3 .

i am shooting the JSB EXACT 33.95 grains and HN 36 grains slug
so i setup my new M4 with the same M3 settings
what i noticed is M4 cant reach same FPS as M3 with same settings

although reg on both 136 psi
hammer macro is maxed out to 5
valve is in the 4th line

shooting HN 36 grains
fx impact m3 with hammer wheel on 14 gives me 980

while in the M4 same settings gives me 900

so there is almost 80 fps difference between

anyone noticed power deferential between both?

Are there any PA guys or gals on here that do not have a bigger compressor for the very large CF bottles, 75cuft
If so, where can one get it filled, I am an hour of Harrisburg. Thanks in advance!

I recently started having the same problem with two of my Fx rifles. I have an Fx royal 400 and a Fx dream tac compact, they both hold air without any leaks, but after every shot I hear a small rush of air escaping from them. How do I fix this problem?

I'm very interesting in getting a Benjamin Marauder.
Was wondering whats the difference between the Marauder 32fplbs and the field & target 22ftlbs?

On the Dreamline, there's a grub screw on side opposite the power adjuster. It fits into a slot on the power adjuster assembly and prevents unwanted movement. I'm talking about the small screw on the bottom of this picture:



Should I be screwing this thing in until it bites into the power adjuster or back it off a bit? I'm just worried the grub screw will back out over time. Maybe some Loctite 222?

Thanks.

I usually only hunt archery, but I thought I would put together a deer gun in case I wanted to switch it up. I thought I would share my thoughts, a few pictures, and some numbers.


I normally hunt thick areas and don't have many shot opportunities longer than 40 yards, so I went to 35 yards and sighted it in. It took about 3 shots to get on target then I shot a group. I got 3 in the same hole then the recoil started getting to me. I sent a 4th shot down range and that was more than enough for my shoulder for the day. Did I mention it kicks like a mule!

A few photos and info of the setup.
- Gen 2 Zeus .72 w/ 16" barrel
- Metal Mountain chassis & muzzle break
- Magpul PRS gen 3 stock
- Hogue grip
- Limbsaver buttpad
- Air Tanks Plus foster fitting cover
- Primary Arms 2 moa red dot sight

I was shooting tethered to a large tank at around 4000 psi. Here is the shot string. Shots 1350-1356 were my sight in. Shot 1350 was lower psi before I hooked it to my tank. Disregard shots 1346-1349. Needless to say I was impressed with the power output at almost 900 fpe in a package with an overall length of under 40".


Conclusion:
The zeus is a beast of a gun! This thing is LOUD, rifles HEAVY, triggers HEAVY, it's an AIR HOG, and it KICKS like a mule. with that being said, it looks bad a$$, it handles 100x better in the metal mountain chassis, it's fairly compact, its getting tons of power from the 16" barrel, the trigger is heavy but it breaks clean and doesn't have creep that I noticed, and it shot 1 hole at 35 yards if I did my part.

If you have any questions on the chassis don't hesitate to reach out to Mountain Metal Products. They answered all my questions and responded quickly.

If you made it this far I applaud you. feel free to ask any questions.

P.s. the rubber band is my home made pellet holder banded to the stock. If anyone has a better option for carrying ammo please lmk.

The gun has been stored in a case in a cool, dry closet. It has been stored with tank pressure is 210 bar.
The 1st reg was set to 200 bar and the gauge reads 200bar.
The 2nd reg was set to 150 bar and the gauge reads 155 bar, so it has crept 5 bar during the 6 months of storage.

would anyone have an idea why my .25 impact has become very loud all of a sudden with no adjustments done recently

Just got a zelos and it’s leaking air slowly. The pressure gauge is dropping but the reg gauge is staying where it’s set even after the pressure gauge has dropped below the reg. So I can rule out the poppet valve right? Any ideas where it’s leaking from and has any one else dealt with this problem already?

Curious if the calendar gets checked very often, or if mainly the competition shooters use it.
Wanting to put up our monthly funshoots to see if the info gets out to those who may want to participate. I tried doing it through the social feed and not too sure that is working. Figured if it was posted in "General," it would get lost as other threads were started.

Looking for reviews for the Diana two forty air rifle from members who have experience with them.

I'm kinda new to airguns so still learning but have a quick question... Will a DonnyFL adapter fit a Hatsan Flash .25? Thanks in advance.

When tuning a R10 with a Vortek kit do you have to replace the cocking shoe with the new style one? Jimmy V

I'm trying to talk myself out of a Ghost. Do they ping?

Hello everyone, thanks for having me. This is my first post regarding my first PCP. I’ve owned a few handguns back in my twenties which was thirty plus years ago but this is my first real airgun.

I think I got a pretty good deal on a used AEA HP Max .495 which came with a 10.5” Donny FL Emperor moderator, a 6.25” extension, and a cheap VEVOR pump that’s actually not half bad for $500. I’ve only put one round through it so far as I’m still figuring everything out and I’m just a little weary since it is used. The person I purchased from didn’t seem to know much about it, except that it put lots of holes in a dead dryer in his basement lol

Can it be left cocked?

Also, any thoughts or suggestions on inspecting cleaning, what to look out for on a used PCP with about 100 rounds through it would be greatly appreciated. I purchased a patch worm pocket field kit for cleaning and have been watching lots of YouTube videos etc. Thanks for any help or tips. I appreciate it!

I am thinking about getting an Avenger , is the action block still a polymer where the shroud screws go

Hi. I am new to the forum. I would like to know how to date a C model Sheridan Bluestreak Air gun. Thanks in advance Jted

A few weeks ago I bought my first air rifle. An seneca double shot 50 cal. After about 30 shots it starts leaking out of the barrels .is this a common problem ? I live in the netherlands in europe And there are no parts availeble here. Do you Guys have any idea where I can find parts ?

Looking for a bottle adapter
Ii think that's what they call it
The part that threads into the regulator and then you screw your bottle on
I just noticed a hairline Crack coming from the shut off screw.
Anyone know where to buy these ?

just Wanted to know if you can use a after market air bottle on the Hatsan factor sniper long. really leaning towards buying one but just not sure if its able to use a after market air bottle. Thanks and Happy shooting everyone

Looking for someone that does tuning and servicing on AEA rifles. I have an Element Max .50 that I deer hunt with. I need someone to look at it. Not sure what’s going on with it. I took it out today for the first time since deer season last year and I couldn’t get it to shoot accurately at all today. The sweet spot for it was 200bar but after 30ish rounds I filled to capacity, 300bar. One shot it dropped to 150. I’m a newb to all of this and don’t feel comfortable taking it apart myself. Thanks for any info on someone creditable.

Am I missing something. Have recently fixed 3 leakages. Regulator and both 2x1 orings in the cavity plugs.

But now 1week later its leaking again. Approx. 1-3bar/hour so its not super small.

But I cant find it. I have checked all these places 2-3 times now with leakage spray/foam.

Any ideas? don't know what to do next except complete re-sealing except the ones I already changed.
But How can I not spot a leakage this big.

Tried a balloon on the barrel for 2 hours but nothing, unless it leaks into the shroud and out somewhere else?

When scoring an N50 card is it considered an "X" if the scoring plug hides the center dot, or does the center dot have to be hit or removed?
TIA!
Mike

Yong Heng gauge and the fill station gauge show 4000 psi. Gauge on Scott SCBA shows full. Is this normal?
