That is a bummer. I'll do my best to get the time off needed for both in a year or two. Good luck with the shoot. John E.

Thanks everyone! I'll take that as a solid "no", haha.

Yep, the only major restriction we had was no full auto. Now, we’re arguably worse off than California and there’s a whole slew of new bills pending.

It’s not just the gun laws though. An income tax seems inevitable as does rent control and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A 3 bedroom house outside of Seattle will cost you $500,000 and the property taxes will be around $5000 per year.

Huh ? $5000 tax on a half million house. Try NY.
mines assessed at $349k taxes $9500. Very common
Girlfriends $210k house $4500

Hi I am looking for a parts diagram and also oring sizes for a Western Rattler , I just ordered one and I like to have orings in stock for all of my airguns , somehow I cant seem to find anything on this gun help please LOU

Necesito nuevamente de su ayuda, tengo una fx king .22 con un cañón de 600 mm, Este rifle es de potencia FAC, es decir, no está limitado. En España y en otros países europeos, este rifle y muchos otros tienen que estar limitados a la potencia legal permitida por cada país. En España están limitados a 20 ft lb (24 julios). Dicho esto, me gustaría limitar o reducir su potencia a esos 20 ft lb, me gustaría poder utilizar el rifle para participar en diferentes eventos deportivos de tiro, donde esa potencia es la máxima permitida. Después de devanarse los sesos, creo que la mejor opción sería cambiar el resorte del martillo.
Mi conjetura:
1º: Coge el resorte (muelle) de martillo del mismo tamaño pero más suave, este golpearía la válvula con menos fuerza y reduciría su potencia, claro luego jugaríamos con el regulador y el microajuste.
2º El distribuidor de FX me vende un resorte (muelle) para reducir la potencia a esos 20 ft lb, el resorte (muelle) es oficial de FX y está en su página con la referencia: V2 SH Referencia de resorte (muelle) : FX 11500 -SH. El resort(muelle) parece ser el mismo pero más corto.
3º: Encontré en Inglaterra, (leyendo en foros) un recurso que usan para limitar sus rifles hasta 12 ft lb, es un recurso más largo que el original, pero con roscas más finas y más suaves, en teoría con este recurso podría llegar a 20 pies lt


4º: Coge el resorte (muelle) original y córtalo hasta conseguir la potencia deseada.

Preguntas: ¿Puede un resorte (muelle) más corto tener un efecto negativo? ¿Cómo?
Me gustaría que el regulador pudiera operar en un rango de 75 a 100 bar, para obtener más disparos por llenado.
El resorte (muelle) original tiene una longitud de 56 x 10 x 1,5 mm (longitud, grosor, rosca)

Bueno espero sus recomendaciones o sugerencias.

Muchas gracias de antemano.

Exactly, on these things there is no maintenance schedule.
Keep it cool, change oil regularly, don't use auto stop, let the water pump continue pumping for a length of time after shutoff

I can recommend you try a high performance oil for european twin turbos. (much higher boil point, less odour).
I am using this one in Canada

I don't have to own the 20-position wheel to tell you that it will have all the same downsides as the original fx powerwheel. Phil's micrometer is the only upgrade to the fx power wheel worth doing -- and it does it right. I was concerned about the micrometer's thimbal accidentally moving, but with normal handling it has never moved unintentionally. There is a fairly snug o-ring inside of the micrometer to keep it from free-spinning. If it's not enough resistance for you, then you can add a 2nd o-ring. I've had no need to change anything about Phil's micrometer mod.

phils tuning accessory is the best option for tuning a maverick or wildcat fx airgun ...

I see. I may just have to improvise something similar to what you have.

The lite doesn’t have an externally adjustable regulator like the original krait. You can still adjust its just not as easy and convenient. I heard it takes about 20 mins to get to and adjust. Not sure on max power but guys comment they come a little hot for light pellets.
Awesome looking airgun with the wood.i almost bought one myself a couple times. I just picked up a katran compact. Maybe I’ll get a Krait next

I'm thinking that slugs are more sensitive to barrel imperfections and twist rates since they're solely dependent on spin for stabilization in flight. Pellets have some stabilization built in by virtue of their diabolo design, so may be more tolerant of barrel and twist variances. Just speculating out loud here.

Congrats Cavedweller.

Just a heads up.
When I got back from shooting yesterday I was setting my elevation turret back to zero and noticed it had some wiggle and lash which concerned me. What had happened is I had snugged it down after sighting in but it needed to be tighter so once I took care of that it was back to the awesome feel these have.

Yeah it's funny, those scope caps are so nice it makes this G3 scope seem all that much better. I bought some expensive after market scope caps for my S&B, which I think I paid $125 for years ago, and I prefer these Athlon caps to them.

I will shoot only pellets in it so the missing part will not keep me from shooting it.

Radio Flyer, thanks for your help! much appreciated. I will keep you informed on my progress.

Yeah... The NOTOS is such a great little gun and it don't need alot to make it a little better. But, if you want, there are also bigger options such as Buck Rail Tactical conversion, bottle gun conversions, plenum expansions and threaded moderator adaptors. Just depends on how far you want to go.

Thanks for the bump!

Hi guys

just got my zeus .68 cal today- its a german limited version but all the full power parts are included in the bag.. so besides the large transfer port and there is this one part that i have no clue where it goes..

i think it goes inside the regulator to open it completely? to have it unregulated?

and second question- what is the max safe pressure i can set my regulator to?

right now its set at 150bar..

It looks like we got lucky with the current weather staying south of us. Saturday's weather looks stable, with a forecast of cloudy, and a high of 32f. The match is on, so come out and scratch that mid winter itch.

Enjoyed the video very much, you gents put a good thrashing on those pest birds. I bet the farmer is very happy about the numbers you both downed.

Hi there i got new m3 impact FX 700mm sniper everything is stock no barrel chenged no hammer spring etc its stock — now im shooting 30 grain 22cal 2ith 276m/s grouping good but my question is hat tune to make to shoot 40 grain and it is capable to hunt pest like fox coyote jackals with 30 grain around 80j now with thia setup or i need to go 40 grain and make it around 110 115 jaule and what distance to shoot now im grouping good qt 135 165 +m is like 100mm group nit great but all stock just pushed a bit 2 regs and micro macro

I already have three 12 gauge shotguns and a .58 muzzleloader, so I really have no practical purpose for a Zeus whatsoever, but I really want one.

Hello. I'm coming back to finish this topic.
The gun returned after a visit to the manufacturer. It took a long time, but I can say that now it is good. They did not find any faults and said that everything is 100% functional, but I carefully examined and photographed the equipment before shipping. They certainly reviewed every element, made lubrication and configuration. Unfortunately, they ordered payment for it, but my seller in the Czech Republic did not charge me with it and sent it at no additional cost. Now it shoots steadily and economically enough so I'm starting to really enjoy it and I think I'll like it
At the moment I set the regulator low, only 90bar and it is stable, economical and still I have over 45fpe and about 200 good shots.
I'm testing Jsb monster light 20.83gr now and it looks like it's a great pellet
Thank you for your interest and forgive me for talking.

Please show your results with the JSB monster lights! The Krait L in the wood stock is on my short list.

My vote is a rubber horse stall mat , and defiantly do not shoot toward other houses . where do you live ? maybe a range near you ?
kid size easy to cock and shoot , low power , $139 SHIPPED TO YOU

Those figures are looking really good already Jeff.

Restricting flow at the TP seal first was a wise move, and I can see why your now keen to look at limiting hammer throw. If your still running a standard hammer and spring there surely must be some further gains to be had

Pellets and slugs are quite different animals I think.

Slugs have a lot of surface in contact with the barrel, so while the pressure and barrel will size the slug on the way down the barrel that work is a huge variable that affects accuracy. I’m aware that some slug shooters are resizing their slugs and testing in increments of much less than .001” and finding that the slug diameter should be sized to match the preference of the barrel.

Pellets are less sensitive to that but I have found that head size is still important. So if you’re going to sort pellets I’d start with head size and visual inspection to remove bad pellets. Weight sorting is pretty easy so that’s common but I have not found the heaviest and lightest to shoot much differently. I encourage you to take the five heaviest and five lightest and shoot them in a 10 shot group to compete against a ten shot group from the middle weight range.

I also find that sorting methods fall into two levels of expectation: sorting to eliminate oddballs and sorting to divide the good ones into smaller groups that are gooder. I have not found much benefit with the latter approach but if I were competing seriously the former is quite valid. You don’t want to lose a point at a major match because of a bad pellet that would have been easily spotted.

Being new, with one springer, I’d take a couple so I can get comfortable doing more than tightening screws. Eventually, I’ll have to start opening my only child.
