I had to replace mine once in 6 years. Had a a correct size but harder material, used it anyway. No problem. I used emery cloth & super fine steel wool on contact surfaces before put on o-ring with some synthetic lube. (Silicone)

Hey Gerry52
Thanks for the hint
I ran a very fine Cratex stick around the id where the Oring has to pass.
Then cleaned the fitting and put in a 90 DURO polyurethane Oring
It worked
I filled slowly in 3 steps bleeding the line between each to make sure the plunger sealed
100, 150, 225B
No problems
And it has been holding air for 6 hours

Now I can finally get to sighting in and running some chrony strings
WOO HOO!

Thanks, again. Gerry

Future of NOE bullet moulds?

grouch-o
Loren said:
From an email Al sent out earlier this month.

Say as pray for the man and buy a mold from him if he has it on the shelf. Times like this it helps to have some business coming your way and not having to worry so much about that part of life. Al, Godspeed to recovery and many prayers to you.

"Welcome to the NOE Black Friday Sale!
We would like to say “thank you” for all your support throughout the last year.
As some of you may know we’ve had a very eventful year here at NOE.
We’ve had key employees move on which has led to our production taking a significant hit.. We are actively seeking replacement machinists and machine operators. Finding qualified machinists to help run our machinery has become a real challenge for us.
Another big event for us was when I was diagnosed with HCL Leukemia earlier this year.
After a short stay at the hospital and about 3 months of therapy, it looks like I have taken the upper hand in the cancer battle.
I would like to say thanks to all those who have offered prayers on my behalf.
I hope to be back in production the first of next year and well on our way to making next year a great, healthy, and successful year with all your help.
Thank you for being one of our great and valued customers!

-Al Nelson"

Other  Quick release coupling... Standard?

B
The one thing I do is to check the female fittings for the number of ball bearings in the collar. The more the better and at least five. The cheapie have four, the really good ones have six.

I have notice the GK fittings can be tight, which is good, but too tight can be a pain.

Looking for QR lever mount for the Thermnight.

AlwaysLastPlace
This Company has reinvigorated my digit ness in air rifles.
I am looking for quick lever attach, detatch for two scopes. the DNT Thermnight is probably really hard to find but I also have their 7-5x56 scope so I would like to have a quick detatch for that huge scope too. Need it to be light as well. Tried AD. My shaft was too girthy for what they wantend in their stock. Not caring about pricing just identifying if a solution exists. Thanks.

Airforce  100 foot pound 22 cal 12 twist Condor with help from AGN friends

R
Well with help from a few friends ive been playing with 12 twist Chazsel .222 barrel liners in custom Airforce Condors..Ive finally been getting some okay results with Lee .225 55 grain cast slugs sized to .222 they are performing well in the 920-940 fps range..They will shoot faster but not as well..I have a 9 twist redman barrel liner coming soon.. The only problems ive had with the custom valves of the condors in 22 cal is too much power...I never expected that with a airgun...Im stuck using 22 cal in Pennslyvania for small game...These 55 grains shoot pretty flat 920-940 fps.. I will be hunting squirrels and shooting more will post results..Anyways old boring Airforce Condor with a $68.00 Chazel barrel liner caple of making 100 foot pounds ..

If there is a problem I can’t take care of on my own, is there repair service for the GX pump in the US? Thanks.

Target Forge sell parts and may do repairs as well. I also think there is a member here who does repairs. He'll probably see this and reply.

Low power tuning for Avenge-X

T
I'm looking for some help with low power tuning on a .22 cal Avenge-X for indoor pest control in warehouse/equipment storage buildings with varying interior materials. Here are some of my thoughts so far............14 gr wad cutter running around 500 fps yielding 6-8 FPE and then move up from there if needed. I would guess most shots would be from 5 to 15 yrds. How slow can you send these wad cutters and get them to group reliably at close distances? Is the Avenge-X capable of the task? How low FPS can you go with the regulator all the way down and the hammer spring backed out? Has anyone cut a few coils off the end of the hammer spring or tried other "unconventional" methods? Here is my equipment list so far:

Avenge-X Classic Synthetic Stock .22 cal
Vector Optics Orion Max 3-18x44 FFP 30mm scope
West Hunter WH202 adjustable scope mounts
GX Pump CS3-I Compressor

The barrels sure do cry for lapping and polishing too.
Click to expand...
You hit the nail on the head! I have a RAW that I had someone do a professional polish on it's barrel and it shoots pellets and slugs equally accurately after polishing! I think all barrels will benefit after a polish/lapping! Smooth is in....😂👍

Dial in your scope

LDP
On my firearms I bore sight by looking down the barrel. Then I shoot one shot onto the target. Then I just hold the rifle on the poa for the shot and adjust my turrets to bring the reticle to the hole. Then I shoot a group to finalize the adjustment. I do the same with my airguns but most cant be bore sighted looking thru the barrel so I setup a target and take the first shot at about 10 yds. With that I can get an adjustment that puts me on at 50 yds for the next shot then repeat the steps I use for the centerfire rifles.

Let’s see what all the fuss is about ( altaros )

It's the 32.3gr Smooth you want, not the ribbed 31gr, and the Smooths do very well from 885 fps down to 830 fps in my LW barrel 17.7 twist. Haven't tried them faster.
Click to expand...
Yeah don’t have luck with either in my DRS the 40gr were to long and the 31gr just weren’t working with this barrel
