AF Texan .457 LSS

Looking for some help.
Have an AF Texan upgraded with a lot of African Air Ordinance parts. Hard as hell to cock, so I changed to a shorter spring. Seemed to help that issue. The auto safety has been removed pervious to the aftermarket upgrades. But now every other time I shoot, this piece is getting stuck under the hammer catch, and I have to break down the gun every time and remove it from under the catch.

Do I need this? Can this come out? What is it used for?

Hatsan 50 cal air leak

I recently purchased my first PCP riffle a Hatsan 50 cal. Right out of the box it had 0 BAR in the tank and my compressor wouldn’t fill it up so I got a SCBA tank filled to 300 BAR and tried to fill it with that. All the air leaked out the barrel of the gun and I was unsuccessful in filling it. Anyone know what to do hatsan isn’t responding to my emails and I’m not sure what to do.

FWB 300S Replacement Stock

I am new to this forum. I recently sent a 300S to David Slade at AIRGUNWERKS for rebuild. When the completed rifle was returned by one of the national shipping companies it came out of the box in pieces. I am reaching out to the masses looking for a replacement stock. I would love to find a left handed stock ( I know I am dreaming but it never hurts to ask). Thanks in advance for any leads.

So many great guns, which 25 should I choose? Niksan or Taipan veteran?

I am wanting a new rifle even though nothing is wrong with my Hatsan 44 in 22 cal. It is a rabbit killing machine out at my desert compound.
My new rifle will be a 25 cal and I am trying to decide between the Nicksan Ozark,and the Taipan Veteran II. Both look amazing for my use. I have 42 acres so neighbors aren't an issue.
Most of my shots are no more than a 100 yards maybe a little more. Any opinions would be welcome, thanks

Fx impact M3 recomend tuning for 22 cal 23 gr H&N slug HP

Hello fellow Airgun Enthusiasts. I am new to this forum and this is my first post.

I would like to have a fx company recommended tuning for my FX Impact M3 for shooting 22 cal. H&N 23 gr slug HP.

I have a stock Fx Impact M3 with a 1:24 twist rate line so I can only shoot slugs upto 23 gr (as mentioned on the fx USA website)(https://fxairguns-usa.com/fx-superior-stx-liner-twist-rates/).

I would also like to know different make and weight slugs that would work best for my Impact M3.

Thank you

Verifying Humane Dispatch of Squirrel ?

Do squirrels have a different nerve reaction than rats with a kill shot to the brain ?
Most of my pesting is on rats. So I’m familiar with how their body jumps twitches and helicopter tail.
I’ve recently dispatched two squirrels. (.177 Sub 12 FPE , 20 yards or less ) After the initial head shot I go to retrieve the squirrel(s). And they act like they are gasping for air. I then put one shot after another into their head. At close range. And they still act like they are gasping for air.
Is that the normal reaction from a squirrel with a fatal shot to the head ?
If/when I dispatch an animal I want it to be as quick and humane as possible.

PCP Hand Pump Sprays Water

Hi,
I recently bought my first PCP air rifle. I also bought one of those cheap Chinese pumps off of Ebay, as most people had good things to say about them and it was at least $150 cheaper than buying a Benjamin pump. When I disconnected it after the third use, I noticed the connector was wet. The pump sprays a small but noticeable amount of water vapor when I use it without connecting the gun. The pump is rated at 6000 psi. I know that compressing air creates water, but I don't want to lose the gun because I assumed it was normal.

Is my gun's tank full of water now?

Thanks

  • Question
Large bore that can accept normal pistol bullets and shoot all copper

I have been looking at airguns for... A long time. Well, I have an older single pump pneumatic target rifle in .177, but this would be a more general use PCP rifle.

I think I might finally jump in. One issue is I am interested in shooting lead free. Actually, specifically copper slugs. The reason for this is I shoot indoors. My plan is to swage them. Probably using a Corbin press. The setup is fairly insane in cost, so I have been avoiding it. I may offer the slugs for sale around cost, including machine cost, to help transfer the investment and allow purchase of copper at higher volumes. It seems like a Corbin press is very low maintenance. As much as I frown on anyone reloading while watching TV, it seems entirely reasonable to swage while doing so, so my labor cost would be minimal.

Anyways, I would also like the option of being able to shoot lead bullwts. I have cast lead bullets before, part of why I want to stay away from it now, but it may come back up. I also know I can buy an absolute ton of lead bullets for next to nothing from people I know who cast as a hobby. I will just have to shoot outside and go through a very very detailed cleaning before shooting indoors again if I switch to lead.

So, this leads me to: are there any airguns that can handle a common firearm bullet? Firearm bullets of the same diameter seem to run a higher volume(longer with no cavity), but pure copper v. Lead should eliminate most of the weight difference.

I know one can shoot 357/9mm soft lead out of some and it will more or less swage to correct size in the barrel since it is so soft. It seems that is less likely to work with a pure copper slug.

I am not terribly worried about barrel wear. I shoot enough volume barrel changes are part of the deal. Despite what I saw posted here in a tangent thread, copper is definitely going to wear a barrel more than lead even if it is substantially softer than steel. An hardened steel ax still dulls when cutting a tree. I am just concerned about squibs and other safety concerns or damage to the airgun.

BRK Ghost .25 Cal

Ok, I've had the Ghost for a little while, prior to today maybe three mags through it. So today I had some time and thought I'd fool around with it and see how it goes.

Here's the setup.
Ghost .25 Cal No Moderator (I have a 0dB just didn't put it on for this.)
JSB King Heavy Diabolo 33.95 Grain.
25 yard Target
ATN 4K Pro (it's not the best daytime scope, I put it on to take care of a critter and then the critter just moved away before I got to it.) Aztec 5.5 x 25 will be going back on soon.
Shooting off a bench on a Caldwell sled (supports the front in the Padded V and the Rear in a Padded U shape.
LabRadar Chrono (sometimes that thing is a bigger pain than it needs to be. You have to shoot really slow between shots and have the mic close. I have the parts for a physical switch just need to solder it up, and their App sucks)
Started with 3,500 PSI in the tank, Regulator is factory set at 140, Dialed the Power Wheel down to 1 (Didn't notice the "min") shot 5 shots at each target from the mag. Refilled after every 5 shots to make sure I was staying above Reg Pressure.

Below is a picture of the 5 shot groups at 25 yards (26 if you want to exact Laser Range Finder).
So looking at the groups below a couple seem to stand out as better than the others. Groups 3, 5, 8, 12, 14, and 18 Seem to be the best to me. If the LabRadar didn't flake on me I would have been able to tell you the Average Speed per Setting at each of the settings. Area 1 = 832-875 Area 2 = 889-903 So out of the 100 shots I took (20 areas @ 5 shots each) I have 36 tracks from the LabRadar.

So the plan from here is to move the target out to 50 yards, replace the ATN 4k Pro with my Aztec, and shoot Setting Numbers 3, 5, 8, 12, 14, 18 and check for accuracy.

I said all that to say this. Once I have a speed at which works out of my rifle, I have the question. Is there a difference between lowering the Reg Pressure and upping the power wheel or increasing Reg pressure and lowering the power wheel? How does/will that effect shot count? With so few pellets through it are we still going to be dealing with Break-In? I've polished the bore (Bore paste), nothing done to the trigger, stock as stock can get.

I'll be repeating this test with the lighter JSB Exact King 25.30 Grain.
I'm off to stuff some old jeans in my Pellet Trap, so the stray cat my wife feeds comes back (or not :ROFLMAO: ;)). And I have to fire up the Young Heng and refill my bottle. I think I need a larger one at this point.

Thanks for any suggestions, pointers, Internet Rumors, et al.

Vintage Benjamin Franklin pump pistol

Hi everyone,
I recently came across a vintage Benjamin Franklin pump air pistol. I’m wondering what year this was made.

Also, how does this exactly operate. Does it need to be cocked while pumping? Or uncocked while pumping. And how many pumps is recommended for a shot?

Thank you.

Leshiy 2 handguard $100 range??

Fellas,

I am looking for a handguard for a 350mm barrel. So under 10". I know about the huma guards but the elevated pic rail will interfere with my scope. The edgun and valkyrie guards are a little more than I want to spend. If anyone has any links to a guard that will fit my budget, it would be greatly appreciated.
