R9 cocking shoe galling

Hey guys hope alls well. My R9 has started galling on the inside of the compression tube where the shoe is making contact. The gun is early 2000s and has a macarri spring, spring guide and tophat. I’ve had the gun apart multiple times and have never had an issue. I’ve sanded to 600 grit on the cocking shoe, and on the tube where the shoe makes contact hoping it had developed a burr.
I feel like I’m not going about it right. I haven’t made the problem worse, but my efforts haven’t helped in the slightest. Sorry for the photo quality. Any help is much appreciated.

Beau

Starting over

Hi there ,

Its been sometime since I have owned an air rifle, but the time has come to get going again .
I have a short list and would value the opinions of those in the know and maybe avoid some of the pitfalls.
So here goes ;
1. Fx dreamline
2.Fx crown
3.Hw 100 k …
4.Air arms s 510

I live in Ireland all air rifles irrespective of power output are firearms and require a licence , as a result most air rifles that are imported run at FAC levels ( >12 ftlb) .
Air rifles are not very popular here unlike the Uk . So reliability is paramount or the ability to self service, as most gun dealers here are clueless about them . As for caliber 0.22 was my preference.
I would value your thought and experiences .
thanks
Dave

FX Crown Mkll barrel position - pellets vs slugs

Own a FX Crown Mkll with two complete 600mm barrel assemblies.. One in .22 other.25 caliber. The Air Inlets on both barrels have a round port stamped “P” for pellets and a square/rectangular port stamped “S” for slugs. The barrels can be rotated 180 degrees. Question: If someone plans to shoot primarily pellets, should the round hole in the Inlet be positioned in an upward or downward direction? TIA

Impact M3 front regulator wont fill past 50 bar, Disassembled and No Sign Of Anything Wrong

The issue started when I took my gun out after it had been sitting a few days. It had been functioning perfectly up until this point. The bottle gauge read 20 bar. It had been at 210 bar when I last put it away. I took the bottle off and immediately the bottle began degassing until it was empty. I removed the bottle valve and took it apart. There were no damaged o-rings but there was some dark colored lube coating some areas inside the valve. Strange. I wondered how it had got in there. I removed the o-rings to clean them and where they were seated. Cleaned everything up. Lightly lubed the o-rings with silicone oil. Put the valve on the bottle, screwed on the bottle, it gassed up to 100 bar. I unscrewed the bottle and no degassing occurred. Great.

Screwed the bottle back on. Bottle gauge read 100 bar, but the first reg read 50 bar. I've always kept the first reg at 200 bar, so it should be at 100bar as well. I removed the bottle to confirm that the first reg screw was set the number of turns that it always has been. It was.

So I removed the first reg and took it apart. There was a little of that dark-gray colored lube on the surfaces inside. I cleaned it up, but could find nothing wrong with the o-rings, washers, no obvious blocks over the tiny holes. The plunger surfaces looked flawless. I disassembled everything, cleaned, added fresh silicone oil on the o-rings. Restacked the bellville washes just as they had been before. Reattached 1st reg. Screwed on the bottle and the bottle gauge went to 100 bar but the 1st reg gauge rapidly bounced between 50 and 80 bar for about 2 seconds, settling at 50 bar.

Don’t know what to do at this point. Maybe one of the little holes in the reg has some of that strange dark grey lube or other debris clogging it? If so, how would I clean out such a tiny hole?
Let me know if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks guys.

Edgun leshiy 2 non reper

I'm shooting a 350mm .25cal leshiy 2 with bottle added. Was wondering what ideally the best speed to shoot at or reg pressure to start with. Current tune is about 4 mags before its down to 100bar. I didn't set the gun up so I know nothing about where the reg is. If 4 mags is good is typical I'll leave it be. Ill get fps when my pellets arrive tomorrow. I know the few mags I shot where moving hot and accurately. Currently I shoot 25gr jsb what little I had that is.

FX impact mk3 .22 cal

fx-impact-m3-std-bronze.jpg

Whatsap guys
Recently,
my and my friends we decided to switch from Daystate to FX
We chose the .22 caliber impact mk3
And our goals is to shoot heavy slugs
40 gr at 1000 fps
We do not have experience with fx
so we found it difficult to choose the appropriate gun, type and length of the barrel, with the pieces that must be in it to determine our targets
Any advice guys
And are there a problems with the 800 mm barrel ?

Looking for first pcp

I’m looking to get my first pcp rifle. Wanting to do plinking regularly out to 50 yards with occasional 100 yard days. Some squirrel hunting. Would like to get a .25 cal. Regulated, not picky about cocking mechanism. Not to concerned about how noisy it is but obviously don’t want it sounding like an actual.22 or anything. Really trying to decide between a gauntlet 2 or the avenger. I’m ok learning to work on the rifle as long as it’s things I can do myself. I don’t wanna have to send it off to someone to get work done. I had pretty much decided on the g2 because of the power and tbh I love the way it looks and it has the adjustable cheek piece but I saw a YouTube video by 1 guy pretty much trashing it and it made me nervous about some of the issues he brought up. I’m open to other guns maybe up to the 500 dollar mark. I know I’ll get suggested the maurader but tbh that rifle just don’t do it for me and as silly as it may sound I’m someone that even if it’s a great rifle if I don’t like looking at it I probably ain’t gonna wanna mess with it that much. I plan to by my own compresser to fill the gun so I’m not restricted to options using a hand pump or anything like that. Once I select a gun I’ll start looking at scopes and other attachments. Also I’m wanting to buy new not off the classifieds. I’m sure everyone’s honest sellers and everything but I’ve bought used bows in the past and been dissatisfied with equipment that wasn’t as advertised before. I tried giving as much info as I could sorry for the long post. If I missed anything that needs to be known for a good recommendation just ask :)

Cause of large velocity variations/pcp

Issue: drastic velocity changes
Rifle: JSAR Raptor/30 cal
Projectile: JSB Exact/44.5 grain
Temperature: 32-38 degrees F.
Background:
This rifle, recently out of storage, shot relatively consistently for five or six trips to the range, with velocity’s in the 890-905 range. Accuracy was not particularly good, hence I intended to tune it a bit in hopes of tightening groups, which were about 2 MOA @ 50 yds. Temperature’s then we’re in the mid 40’s.
The morning I was to start on it was colder, about 32 degrees.
Velocities were approximately 450-500 fps. I had not made any adjustments to regulator pressure (1900 psi) or hammer spring tension yet, and the reservoir pressure was 3500-4000 psi, unchanged from the earlier shooting sessions.
Thinking I may have a glitch in my regulator, I depressurization the reservoir (twice), gently tapping the regulator with a plastic tool handle before refilling.
The next day I increased reg pressure to 2200 psi an increased hammer spring tension adjustment about two revolutions.
This increased velocities to 850-910 fps.

I am admittedly inexperienced in this business, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that is way too much spread.
Do I need to upgrade from a Ninja Paintball regulator to a better unit? No other controls were manipulated. I’m in the dark in Montana. Thank you.

What .25 cal slugs to buy for target rings?

.25 Superior Heavy x700, twist rate 1:18 and Superior x600 TR 1:24
Last year I shoot couple thousand ZAN's in 37gr, 41, 44, and 46, I was trying my tunes until figure for myself that the 34gr MK1 and MK2's performed better at 50 and 100 meters rings scoring. Not very much better but feels more consistent.
This next season I would give the slugs a last chance, but I would need to buy a new volume.
ZAN again, or any other Brand considerably better performance?

FX Maverick power adapter leak

Good evening. I'm new to the airgun world and purchased an FX Maverick Sniper about a month ago. I've got a leak in what I think is called the power adapter or the first plenum. It is leaking out of the hole circled in red. Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it? I would call FX but Monday is soonest I can get someone and I would like to fix it asap if I can. Starlings are moving into the barn.
