Hello from Michigan!

Strelac · Apr 8, 2025

Hello all

After more than a few DIY cheek riser projects, some better some less good, I discovered one aftermarket solution that goes well with Uragan2, but it should fit all AGT airguns that have the same plastic cover piece above the barrel.
It holds really firmly, only if I want to clip it above the magazine- I have to dremel the magazine slot on it. But for now- I don’t need to do that.

It’s the AK Zhukov S stock style cheek riser, hight 0.25” and it fits perfectly with medium size accu-X adjustable elevation scope mount rings (32-38mm).

Here’s the link:

AK Cheek Riser- Low

Raises cheek weld by .25" on your AK

magpul.com

PS. I have never found lower scope mounts with adjustable elevation, so the cheek riser was mandatory for my setup.
If anyone knows some lower yet adjustable rings- I would appreciate it.

All the best,
S.

I bought one awhile back off ebay and have regretted it ever since. It loved to always mash a pellet in the stock magazine and always had to use a carbon rod down the barrel to unjam. Unfortunately nobody like Carm makes better mags for it.

Currently have had it disassembled and I actually took out the plunger-like thing off from around the barrel and detached the silver bar connector from the left side of the receiver. Seeing if I can just convert it into a more reliable bolt-action style airgun.

Bad thing is the pellet probe and cocking lever has a weird design due to it being for a semi-auto, you can cock it back however its designed for the tension from the barrel plunger to bring it back forward. The brass connector of the cocking arm slips onto a groove thats cut in the pellet probe that can slide back and catches onto the end, however going forward theres no edge on the groove to stop it, so it will just slide completely off and cant bring the probe forward by itself.

Now I'm brainstorming ways to either get the stock pellet probe to be able to lock forward, or find a different one to swap into the m50

I owned a .22 Panthera and a .25 King that both shot slugs into unbelievable groups at 100 yards. The .22 really liked the H&N Heavy slugs and the Altaros slugs. The .25 stacked the Altaros slugs.

Did it come at 13fpe, or did you have to tune it? Can an average Joe adjust the reg and hammer spring on the Vixen, or does it take involved airgun surgery?

Thanks,
-pg

I have a vixen in .177 that I bounce around from 860 to 580ish fps with just the hammer spring adjustment. I know this isn't the best way to get the very most out of a pcp but it's working well and I get consistent results throughout that range. The last 10 shots over a chronograph using JTS 10.4gr averaged
FPS 591.2
SD 1.03
V 1.06
ES 3
FT,LBS 8.05
and 1.375 bar per shot averaged from 80 shot.

Solid suggestion for a barn gun.

I have to visit my mother every Tuesday and Saturday, so weather permitting i am shooting Mon - Tue or Tue - Wed and either Fri - Sat or Sat - Sun.

This way i combine 2 things as my friends place / our range is only a Km or two from where my mother live, and most times i bring a overnight bag and spend 2 days there.

Columbus show is June 7, I believe.

encore209x50 · Apr 8, 2025

Just curious if anyone owns one, and what your impressions of it are. I've noticed the price on them are down to $799.
A friend of mine has a Storm S3 that I really like, but the whole entry into PCP has got my toy budget pretty much drained so the $1800 price tag is a bit much for me at the moment.

MDriskill · Apr 12, 2025

This older thread has some historical tidbits on those old HW 30's, and some notes on the one I reworked. You will note my "before" photo looks pretty much exactly like yours! I guarantee they were both ARH guns.

Also trajectron has a fitting that slopes a large bottle down.

Peashooter · Apr 9, 2025

The #1 regulator is on the bottom right behind where the bottle attach / screw in, down in a hole, the #2 regulator is on the R side of the pipe / plenum and should be readily accessible.

As the rifle only have the one gauge you open the #2 regulator fully to see what pressure the first one is set to, it is a bit silly but then again once set i have never touched the front regulator again.

My7 front REG is set to 170 bar, the rear depending on what i have shot is between 70 and 100 ( normally ) with 150 trying to push really heavy .177 stuff.

I have a .22 HW50. Great for plinking. My nickname for it is "The Crusher!". I shoot the .22 5.53's H&N Field Target Trophies with it. Vortek kit installed putting out 13 fpe.

Shoot curve is loopy but I do not care. It hits cans with authority and I am always shooting at 55 and 80 yards. It will not penetrate most heavy cans, instead it will put a huge dent in the can and bounce off.

I have a stock .177 HW50 that I stole from Krale during Christmas. Setup for open sight shooting it is a hoot to shoot but harder to cock than an HW95.

My springers are like golf clubs. Each one is setup a little differently. The spice of life.

Tried and true jsb 25.39 and the jts 25 grain pellets.

markT · Apr 11, 2025

the frame about 6' tall. Very large cast steel "flywheel" and large motor... Looks like Alkin is made in Turkey and office in NJ according to Google search.. They said the price to fix it was very expensive...
Went today to get a fill and my AL SUBA tank requires "hydro" .. 2-3 weeks.. The kid working dint know much about CF tanks so I'm Going back on Monday to speak with owner about CF tanks and possible options...

Great job eliminating a pest. I usually bury them next to a fruit tree to serve as a natural fertilizer.

The Buzzards/Vultures have to eat, I consider it a civic duty. There is a pair of them in the area, they hear the dinner bell.

Thanks for the input. I hooked it back up to compressor and filled back to 4000 psi, my Huben gauge on the input (fill) side reads exactly 4000 psi as does my compressor gauge. The 1250 psi is on the regulated side. I bled it all down to about 1k psi, hooked compressor back up and ran it until pressurized and all 3 gauges read 1k psi.

I might try another gauge on the regulated side just to triple check, but it appears all 3 are in sync at varying pressures. Going to fill all way back up today and see how many total shots I get before it equalizes @ 1250 on both sides of the regulator. My math says it should get around 140 full shots before it goes below the regulator @ 1250 psi but we will see.

Definitely not a bad thing to get those results at that pressure

Ha Ha Ha ... let's see how grateful y'all are once the enablers get you to spend every single dime and minute of time you have on airguns.

Im already doing that on my own. The enablers are keeping me from wasting those dimes on inappropriate rabbit holes that they have already mapped out.

For me I will be eternally grateful. Without going into a lot of details this forum and airguns in general helped get me out of a pretty low place. The blind kindness I have received means the world to me and I can't possibly say thank you enough.

So that is a technical question. Although I am not a professional tuner but I do tuning for pleasure.

Accuracy is a combination of projectile, barrel, rpm of the projectile and fps.

Now if we keep the projectile and barrel constant, the rest of accuracy depends on fps and effective rpm.

Effective rpm are different from twist rate of barrel.

When a projectile is shot from a barrel, we need to achieve the best combination of fps and rpm of the projectile for extreme accuracy.

The actual phenomenon is the as the projectile moves forward, the rpm do not reduces as rapidly as the fps is reduced.

In order to keep the best combination of fps and rpm of the projectile, we need to maintain the best combination between the both.

If the accuracy is fine at 50 yards it means that rpm and fps combination is fine for that distance. But if you stretch to 100 yards, the rpm does not get slow down with same ratio as the fps slows down. This disturbs the effective combination of rpm and fps as well as accuracy.

That is why in order to achieve the best possible accuracy at any distance, the rpm and fps needs to be maintained for that distance.

One adjustment to achieve this combination is HST.

Thank you sir for the excellent explanation!
Think I’m going to leave mine alone! lol

If you pull the gauge out and re grease the dowty a lot of times they will reseal. Sent you the Amazon link for the Dowty's on your cell

butt ugly with several exclamation points after . IF somehow someone gave an "AR" style gun to me , free , no strings . I would give it away and if that didn't work i would trade it in or sell for $1.00 and if none of those worked i would hide it from the light of day .The more traditional all wood stock , no thumb hole , bolt action (not side cocker), single load . is at the top of my want list . i Saw one at the Ind show AA huntsman , should have bought it and got a lefty stock for it .

Here what i made to shoot my FX M4 extended .22 with slugs:

I added some stuff and now i can shoot the ZAN ELR slugs with 289-290m/s (948-951 ft/s) and about 116-117J (85-86 Ft.lb) energy:

It's nice to see that something besides bills got through!

There's a certain magic that nothing but a BB-gun can offer. Enjoy!
