3 or 4 weeks ago, I bought a 700mm heavy .30 liner and have been working out various slugs (bought and cast) without much luck. I initially had decent grouping with 54gr Zan, but it faded away quickly. Since then, I have tried almost every manufactured variant I can find, ordered casting molds in different weights, tried different alloys, all sorts of tuning adjustments, and epoxied a carbon fiber sleeve on with no luck. I recall seeing some people talking about it taking a few hundred shots to smooth out the barrel and grooves, so figured i just needed to shoot it more.

Well, I've got through a ton of ammo and it seems more like the accuracy is dropping off as the shot count goes up, so I figured I would take a closer look at the liner bore to see if thats where the troubles were coming from. I'm seeing quite a few blemishes along the grooves, spots that look like little divets that go all the way around the ID of the lands, and what looks like a straight seam down the length of the ID. Ive gone through it a few times with JB paste, and even Flitz to see if i can get it to help clean it up with no real change.
Take a look (albeit the pictures I've taken aren't exactly the greatest, and definition of the spots isn't as apparent on them) and tell me what you think. I'm also pushing slugs out of the barrel at .2962-.2964", with slugs pushed halfway and backed out measuring a more standard .2989-2990". Most of the worst pitting is within the last 2" getting closer to the choke. I have been wondering how this liner gets dirty so quickly, but now it seems that these spots are scooping bits of lead from slugs and pellets. Is this just a bad barrel? It's been frustrating me since I can't use this rifle until I know I can make responsible and accurate shots. The original .30 liner that came with appears nearly perfect, so I'm guessing either the choke side of the jig or the liner blank itself had nasty bits stuck to it before it was formed.

I have a Quackenbush Outlaw and would love a holster for it, but I'm not sure what would work because of the bolts on the left. Does anyone know what would work?

I'm looking to try to hot rod a Texan .457 because I love airguns and Quigley Down Under lol. In all seriousness, I love tinkering with things like this and I have a bit of a mad scientist idea. I emailed the guy who runs African Air Ordnance and he did confirm that his valve can handle 5500 psi. The problem is that I can't find any air tanks or bottles smaller than like four or five liters. Could anybody offer some input or maybe some leads on where I could source something like this? Thanks everyone.

Hey y'all. Can anyone help with removing stuck slugs in my Benjamin Bulldog .357? My friend unknowingly pushed 3 -142g slugs and I can't not remove them for anything. I tried spraying Ballistol down the barrel and soaking over night, then used a push rod to try and remove the slugs back out of the breach. They didn't budge at all. Do I need to let the air out and remove the barrel? If so, are there any good vids on how to do so? Thanks for any advice in advance. I hope the barrel in not ruined, errrrr.

I have a compressor and before I changed my oil it used to fill my pcp all the way up to 4500 psi and after I made the oil change it takes forever to fill and it fills only to 4000 psi if I’m lucky

I'm looking for recommendations on a bottle to store my Ballistol in with a pen dropper that does not leak every. Anyone have one they use that they are 100% satisfied with? I have attached a picture of what I am looking for.

Hello I'm looking to buy my first pcp and kral arms seems to be from the better options for its price.
I'm looking at kral puncher shadow which is regulated in either .22 or .25 still hasn't decided I'll plink up to 100 yard. Did any of you own this rifle or shot it?if yes what's your opinion on it any remarkable problems?

I might grab instead a kral arms puncher jumbo dazzle which is unregulated which from the reviews on the internet they seem satisfied with it .
should I grab this which is 100 usd cheaper or go for puncher shadow?

I have a 362 Crosman which I love, I stupidly put some gun chamber lube in the air tube, the gun would not build pressure, I called Crosman and they gave me a tip on what to do, it didn't fix it , tried an alcohol flush, didn't work, now I have air in the chamber that I can't get out, they told me to cock and fire without any pumping, I have done this several times, will this solve the problem? I don't really want to have to send it in. Thanks

Howdy all.

I've just bought a vertebrate pest control business, and am looking to get into shooting smaller pests such as rabbits, pigeons, rats etc.

I've got an array of firearms, but no decent air rifle. I'm looking for advice on what rifle (pcp) would best handle aussie conditions, and will be suitable to take down rats through to foxes. Been looking at the FX Impact M3 and Maverick, but mixed reviews have me cautious on dropping $3k+
I like the bullpup design for its compactness while not compromising on barrel length. Looking for probably a 600mm or 700mm barrel.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm in south australia, if that helps at all.

Hello sorry to bother
I recently got into air guns and specifically air revolvers. I bought a barra Schofield no.3 with 7” barrel and after tons of fun I was wondering:
Is it possible to machine a seal or valve that releases more co2 for the pellets to be able to travel faster or with more energy to really break some glass bottles or stick further into wood
I have tested different pellets in .177 the crossman piranha and gamo magnum being nice ones, but they have yet to really break a bottler or stick into wood
They can kill possums and squirrels pretty dam well though for anyone wondering
Thanks in advance

can anyone help with hatsan blitz. it’s brand new and won’t take air. the value is properly sealed and there are no leaks. i asked hatsan and they said that if it’s been sitting with out air for awhile you need to take air tank off but it won’t budge even tho its completely empty. any suggestions? thank you.

Hello, I have an Edgun Matador, I suppose from the first series (#1862), and I am looking to replace the firing valve. I would appreciate any information on where I can buy it.

Has anyone tried putting on a regulator on a

Niksan Ozark? Really want to buy one but not having a regulator kinda turns me of even though according to my research it's already quite accurate. Now imagine what it could be capable of with a regulator on it. I know it's a fairly common thing to do on other PCP rifles but I can't find anything about putting one in the Nissan. Just trying to figure out if it's been done and if so how was it done and what where the results?​

I've been looking for a super stable ARCA Rail type bi-pod for my bench rest Epoch PCP.
The F-class bi-pods appear to give unmatched stability. However 19" wide seems like a bit of overkill.
Just wondering and have been searching for a low profile type F-Class that is only about 15" wide.
Currently using a tripod up front also have an Atlas CAL rated for 50BGM rifles.
The down side of a tripod in my opinion, is that after it is locked down and major elevation changes are required you need to remember to loosen up the stops and get it settled in for that change. Where as with a Bi-pod that is not the case.
Please post if you know of something that I have missed.
Thanks

Hello.. so I was wondering if the night owl night shot scope records video I don't think it does but there's a video on Amazon showing the scope recording the shot but it has no where on the scope to hit record am I missing something????

Just got a blue streak that’s having an issue pumping. It is holding air but has a whining noise and occasionally after 2-3 pumps the pump arm almost seems to feel stuck in the open position and have to force it closed. It seems to be shooting quite well but don’t want to damage any further. Assuming it’s something with the pump assembly and hoping someone can point me in the right direction to fix it.

Hello all so I just tried to shoot my first round with the magazine and it stuck. Is this a common problem how do I get it out safely. Should I remove all of the air? What can I do to prevent this from happening in the future?

Hey
I have a FX Pantera whit 700 mm barrel,
And I'm locking for a good tune for the
JSB KnockOut cal.218 25.39gr.
Does anyone have a good tuning for them.
Where i live there aren't that many slugs to choose from but JSB KnockOut cal 218 i can get. Looking forward to hearing from you guys

What exactly does an upgraded external plenum perform on the RAW?

I have been reading a lot of articles and watching a lot of videos about slugs. Some people clean them, sort them and lube them. And some people just open the package and run them. So I am interested in your opinions on if you all do or do not and why? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Can someone point in the right direction to purchase another carrying case for the .22 cal Diana Chaser rifle kit. I only need the case and not the gun.

I've got a gun that can handle a 300 bar fill. I don't have a reg tester for the reg that it ships with -- I'm tuning it but . . . guessing with minor incremental changes -- you know - kind of a pia not to mention going through air bleeding it off between changes. I could slap a huma in it that at least has a little piece of paper on it that gives you a reasonable "guess" at what the reg is set to. <-- yeah internal reg in the tube, not externally adjustable.

The subject is the question - can the huma's handle / deal with greater than 250 bar? ( I also own other 300 bar capable guns ... and I rarely fill them to 300 - usually 280-290'ish . . . )

I sent huma an email a couple of days ago but no reply - don't know if language (translation) is an issue or if they just haven't checked their messages

Curious -- thanks guys

What’s is the most effective yet simple thing you can do to iMotive the grouping of your gun? I’m interested in generalities instead of specific air guns. Replacing lower quality seals with higher quality ones, aftermarket add ons ETC

Hello. I have a question about the the fx panthera more specifically the little hole on the right side of the gun next to the action I've had this Gun for a while now and I just switched the reg out to a huma regulator and when I gassed it back up and took a few dry fires I noticed a pretty decent puff of air coming out of that little hole so I don't know if it's just me or if I have a blown oring so any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Here is a picture for reference
