Orcair chrono

(Full disclosure - this is a competitor product for me)
I did a full deep tech review on a very similar (looks identical - but different brand off Ali) muzzle mounted Chrony - 40min video if you cant sleep.

Overall it wasnt too bad - great fit & finish, if it works - then it'll be ok
Issues - internals & longevity i have some big concerns over, installing the app was turning off my phones security & downloading a file from a Chinese server, no ability for large calibers or over moderators - anything other than 1/2 UNF, didnt check the accuracy against my certified chronys - from memory it couldnt tell the difference between 1,000 & 1,005 fps - which isnt too bad, usual fiddly buttons & painful programming sequences to deal with - set modes, change pellets etc

Have a look on the AGF UK forum, a lot of them have been purchased - under a different name "Air Force one"

Crosman  1720T field target practice

I use pistol scopes on my pistols,no need to get your eye close to the pistol scope ;lBurris 7x pistol scopes on that pistol
My scope is 12x, the max limit for pistol field target. I’m sure it has a better field of view and ranging capabilities than a 7x. Also, my parallax adjusts from 10m to infinity.
As for holding my eye closer or not, it’s moot. I’m shooting hunter class with a bipod. For off hand shots, I’ll use a “taco” hold.

Other  Reximex 22 caliber few notes

Ok I sent this pistol back to Pyramyd air and got another one , Took about a week, Had the second Reximex pistol for 4 days and it is leaking,
Did I say I really like this pistol, I do and maybe the third pistol will be the one!!! Or get a refund and move on to the new AGT pistol for about double the price , Or should I take a brand new gun apart and try to fix it myself?? Maybe I need to ask Pyramyd to air the gun up and see if it leaks, I can wait a day or two for a leak test... Did I say I really like the pistol? Is it just cheap 0 rings or is there a major problem with this gun? What would you do??

FX  Does higher reg. pressure mean more stress on the gun

In my experience, running a pcp at 150 bar reg pressure compared to 120 bar will have negligible effects on the internal parts. That usually happens at pressures above 180 bar. That’s when you’ll see guys upgrading valve stems and increasing hammer weight.

Besides the increased wear on parts; it’s not as enjoyable to shoot a gun that is pushing its power to the limit. The increased hammer spring tension and heavier hammer weight create a harsh shot cycle. Shot count will drastically be reduced.

Pre -order ....What a joke.

I have spent my time on pre-order lists. Not one ever delivered at a reasonable time. The longer you wait the better the choices become . Times must be good for the manufacturer. I had a prominent airgun dealer hold my $25. deposit for a year. Never happened. Performance is on their part. Let them play their PRE-ORDER games by themselves.
I got a receipt for my $25 deposit, and it showed up on my bank statement. The rifle showed up eventually as well. Those folks do well by me.

Results  Southwest Airgunners Duncan AZ 11/02/2024 Match Report

Rex is a Hall of Famer match director if there ever was one. The breakfast was the best ever, and I am a breakfast-eating connoisseur.
The match was very challenging, and Rex’s taxidermy skills shine in his painting of the face plates. That may be why he has such a great vision for setting the targets and laying out a course. Rex is old school, so he is not a fan of gimme shots. I would put him up as the best match director in the country: just good ole down-home country community and family fun. So, thank you all for volunteering for property, time, and effort. It was worth the 6hr45 minute drive from 2-1/2 hours away. LOL, that is a story for another day.
I second everything @Nofilters has to say above.

Here's a picture of "about half" of the targets Rex has spent countless hours painting:

But "The Mosquito" is my favorite:

Crosman  so if you lose your screw for a Crosman grip

they are just electrical wall plate screws buy a bag of black and never run out
https://www.google.com/search?q=ele...AwCIBgGQBgiSBwM2LjGgB4Me&sclient=gws-wiz-serp
If memory serves that would be #6-32. For use in the grips it might be worth your time to find an allen drive button head cap screw vs the slotted wall plate option.... Use whichever is convenient and acceptable for you. You posted good info.

Stockpiling pellets and slugs

I have 20k or so - I shoot a bunch every week but I still may get out the ole FoodSaver just in case!
We wore out two Food savers. Last year I bought an Avid Armor vac sealer. Worth every penny.

Never thought of sealing pellets. Can’t see it sucking the air out of the tin. On the other hand, the Avid will crush a pop can….a tin should be more stout.

RTI  Caution on Bottle Shield with RTI Mora

I had the same problem with my Argus 45 years back. But with the cocking lever block. Just...had two full threads holding things together.

The next longer fastener was too long, and didn't feel like shortening a screw already that small, so I used the original fastener, but just made the counter sink deeper. Enough to add a couple of full threads . Working well so far.

FX  Fx impact m3

There's 2 schools of thought sort of on hammers and the dwell curve of a slow heavy hammer and that of a fast light one. It's preference. I liked to find a tune that let me run 23gr on bottom and 34gr on top. At least in my situation hammer weight did a better job than spring rate at giving me a new performance window when my reg pressures were high and being used to close the valve as well.


Alas, it's 25 grains and you guys have a really solid point. I get too carried away and I don't remember what a stock hammer was in each version of the gun and what it could do at 130 bar. Obviously (or maybe not) You ease into seeing what the gun can do before you replace deep internal parts.

Benjamin  Repair 342, worth it

Have a 342 picked some years ago and decided to look into repairing. Not holding air so likely would do a seal repair/replace. Question is the pump arm currently doesn’t stay closed. In other words it doesn’t rest inline with the stock. Will this resolve itself when the seals are replaced of is there another issue causing this?
I'd definitely fix it. They're nice shooting guns. With the iron sights they make for a good camping/truck gun.
