Here's an update. I reached out to Barra and requested a trigger kit replacement along with installation instructions or just the trigger springs and sears with installation instructions. I acknowlwdged my willingness to void my warranty and do the work myself.

I will add that if I do get another trigger, I will seek assistance from people that have volunteered to help. And if I don't I will still seek assistance in fixing the problem. I am pleaaantly surprised at the offers to help. Thank all of you that have volunteered to do so.

I understand the frustrating circumstances. The spring cab be pre compressed by using a dowel. For instance for a tiny little spring slip it over the ink tube of a bic pin then use nylon thread to compress it tying it in place. Once the spring is in position on the sear cut the thread it will pop in place. Also you make a jig to hold things to help you out.

A good way to think about this is how many miles per gallon cars get. What determines miles per gallon? Weight, aerodynamics, speed, fuel capacity, blah blah blah, you get the picture. Set your cruise control on 60 mph and then set your cruise control on 80 mph. It will be significantly less efficient at higher speeds.

That being said how many shots you get out of your M4 will be very similar. How many ft/lbs of energy are you aiming for? How heavy and fast are the pellets you are shooting? Small changes makes huge differences. I have a .22 not a .25, but I can say when I was shooting in the 900s I would get around 50-60 shots on a fill, but dropping down to 860 fps got me well into the 120 shot range.

If you are shooting a lighter pellet at 900 or less feet per second, your capacity will be high. If you are trying to push slugs at 950+ it’s going to drastically reduce your shot count. It all comes down to tuning. High power vs. high shot count. Can’t have both.

The Skan chronograph is a very rare bird over here! I have never seen one.

Quite a versatile system, and very easy to adjust with the hammer screw designed in. If I'm reading the results right this was using JSB RS at 13.4gr? Average 25fpe?

Here is a string at 11.2fpe/ 15.9's/ 46 shots per fill.....

Was looking at the CH 1 LB. From what I can tell it is the best rifle AEA has ever put together and less than 1000 bucks.

Sits pretty high on my short list

It definitely is a great rifle for the money. I'm not an expert marksman only been shooting a few years. Knowing what I know now, I may have done something different. When gen 2 came out I wanted the external adjustments and ordered it. I do have the 1st gen as well, but after getting the 2nd one, I modified the 1st gen. I painted it with some camo spray paint and shortened the barrel to 21", had it re threaded. I wish I didn't buy the 2nd gen in the same length and caliber was my mistake. I would definitely sell one of them, I don't regret the purchase I regret the same purchase without thinking about what I was doing. I would say overall they are pretty darn good for the money.

Ron, thanks, R9 with an HW98 stock. I'm trying to come to your place this Saturday, i'll shoot it if I can get there.

I have a 500 in .25 and get 36 shots at 880. Reg 100. I put a gauge on my plenum.

Tnx, I will try that message again, as there was no response to the one I already sent . Fingers crossed...

Higher an optic is mounted above the barrel, greater becomes the hold over amount and a steeper progression with correction required for shots INSIDE / CLOSER than your zero range.
But further shots will trend to appear having a flatter trajectory profile.
CANT errors also happen easier as for any DEGREE of tilt / cant that is present has the bore / retical alignment move further & faster off the ideal vertical center line.

If you monitor CANT and get good D.O.P.E. not an issue IMO .. Or if shooting at a fixed distance and adjusted to said POA/POI

Believe I’m going to bring it down to where it should be and hopefully the new buttstock will solve my problems.

I don’t like to have something that looks like Captain Cobb was on the job!

Awesome …thanks guys

Great job! Now do the groups.

A .25 caliber RAW HM1000x , chose your preferred stock or chassis. Just about everything one could ask for in a file. That’s my opinion. Simply built, not a whole bunch of adjustments to be made externally , great LW barrels. Sure it’s simple to some , but if you want to set it and just shoot it’s a great choice.

The hammer spring should be adjusted to just open the valve, plus a half turn. The hammer spring has very little effect on the velocity. Velocity is adjusted by reg pressure. In your case, the power is pre-set, and you can change velocity with ammo weight only.

Thank you.

Added a riser and got the Zulus where it is much more comfortable.

This bumped it up a bit, of course, so I added a cheek riser to the magpul stock

It is nearly ready to go now, just need to zero it and establish pellet path from a few yards out to 30.

are you happy with the wildcat?

I am, like it alot! For my damaged arthritic frame its heavier than i’d like (wisd, elbows, shoulders all fubbed up) but gettin old is an exercise in “adapt and overcome”. We get along pretty good.

@Gr8Recreation I figured that was it. Either that or I would’ve found it odd that there have been two that passed through their hands within a month of each other. I’ve always wondered, how is the reticle under low light conditions? Is it easy to see or is illumination necessary?

I've tried to find the location of their lungs, I'm spending a fortune getting rid of the critters here, time to get a touch more violent. BUT I too am very leery of them spraying. If it wasn't for my dog I mostly wouldn't care.

I just bought four of these from this gentleman. Quick service and well packaged. I believe he works for Pyramyd Air.
He gave permission to post his contact information. These are for the original Rainstorm, not the II model.

His email for contact is [email protected]

As I wrote, he gave permission - and I specifically asked about it. Reason being I have seen older ads on here looking for these magazines.

I got the Primos Trigger stick tripod. I like the adjustability but the trigger/palm rest is plastic and flexes when you put on a gun. That's my only gripe about it.

I have those as well, that's why I got the National Geographic one, it's cheap, sturdy and solid!

it might be that the majority of hobbyists are hoarders.. or hobbies are a precursor to becoming a hoarder.

Leaders are GK1, Vixen and DRS.

I think I'll keep my cheapo CO2 gun and sell my AGT Vulcan.

Coming to a classified section near you!

Your leak was from the bottle end of the air passage that connects the output of the 1st regulator to the input of the 2nd.

The passage is through drilled, tapped at each end and plugged with o rings and grub screws.

Yeah, incredible shooting - even if he hit the wrong balloon on the first shot, he corrected and smoked it on the second try.

What really hit home was the time delay between the shot and the impact.

Interesting to see, I'm a technical kinda guy but a basic rangefinder is the limit of my interest in gadgetry for shooting. Fortunately (or maybe not) that doesn't apply to accessories and electronics for fishing

Cheers!
