Thank you

Yupper, it is the "valve" we are always talking about, the gun retains the valve seat. The stem of the poppet valve gets hit by the hammer, unseats the poppet and air passes, the air slams it shut assisted by the return spring.

Most of the poppets I've seen are made from Nylon or Delrin, they are softer than peek, it's a very hard plastic.

Shown is an original AEA HP poppet and the peek replacement im working on.

Thank you sir. I appreciate the explination.

Friendly BUT sent me a messed up gun and wanted me to pay for shipping back.

Great !

I am glad you are faring okay following that freak disaster. Preparation is key, and I don't mean getting prepared when you can see the poop is gonna fly. You need to be prepared always, because things can go sideways before you know it. I speak from experience, having been through earthquakes in California, Katrina in New Orleans and Sandy in lower NY state.
I even had a tornado run through my town about 7 years ago, with direct impact on my yard. No power, no water, no gas. Thankfully, no damage to my house or vehicles, but it was a close shave.

I keep what I call a Living Larder in my yard. Lots of small game I can count on should an emergency run longer than my food supply. It's why I don't just shoot anything coming into my yard. I want most animals around in case I need to eat them. I've got loads of squirrels and rabbits that inhabit the woods behind my house and come into the yard. I believe I'll be able to extend our survival by taking them when I have the need.

Welcome! +1 JSB

Thumbs up on the patch worm.
I’m using cphp for my first tin in my HW35 with satisfying results. I notice things are smoothing out, maybe it’s me, or both.

I don't mind a pellet picky gun as long as it picks cphp . . I pretty much shoot them exclusively 99.3872% of the time . Lol..

I got my new M4 last week and ordered the slug STX Heavy liner with it, after more research it seems like I really don't need it for shooting slugs even with the different twist rate, I really only shoot 100 yards or so for varmints. Can I just use the one already in my M4 for slugs and pellets? I am thinking about returning the liner or sell it.

Thoughts?

I have the .22 M4 in 600mm, yours look identical to mine and I shoot both pellets and slugs as well, it has the perfect balance for me, i prefer to keep mine quiet with optimal shot count, i don't need a gazillion FPE so i haven't upgrade any power add on stuff to it, the stock superior liner is fine with slugs up to about ~27gr, and the stock 6g hammer will support the reg pressure up to around 130 bar at around 50~55ft-lb in .22 with zero upgrade or mod. Shoot it with the stock superior liner now with whatever slugs you got at 100 yard to see if you're happy with accuracy, if your accuracy at 100 yard is junk then you could try the slug liner.

Seriously not rocket science, but Im kinda guy who wants to understand why, instead of learning by trying. (learning by trying is ok if you are 100% sure its not going to break anything).

So my understanding and logic tells me this.. Keep plenum pressure 150 (im tuning for heavy slugs)

1. You open front valve open so hammer can work with plenum 'freely' while adjusting it
2. You reach optimal velocity by increasing or decreasing the hammer wheel. You can fine adjust it by long flat thumb roller
3. You start closing front valve so you dont waste air after shot is made, when closing it and seeing drop in velocity, turn it bit open

There it is. Or atleast that how my brain works it out.

Oh heck no! It’s a little .177 shooting a 10gr slug. I’ve shot birds with it past 100 yards but if an insect is flying around anywhere near that slugs flight path, it’s being blown off course. I shoot them around 900fps. Shot count? Good, no complaints.

Now I remember you saying you’re running an impact for that, I don’t remember what caliber.

You put a red dot on your GKl and the case is just for parts storage! But I took the ole knife out and fixed the case , At least I can use it,,

I have a Maverick already, I've shot Impacts, I would 100% go with the DRS for a dedicated slugger!

100% Altaros slugs too.

This is a seriously well made rifle for entry level and punches way above its weight class.

You’d be wise to take a gander !

Definitely a must ! Great glass and a no brainer at these prices.

Hello,
I'm looking at getting the 25cal for EFT. I just like a traditional looking rifle. I'm curious if anyone has shot the 33.95s out of one and at what speeds and shot count. It will only be shooting pellets for eft and was looking at the 600mm length. I would probably add the bigger plenum if needed. I usually like to shot the jsb mk2 around 900-930 or so. Or just get a dynamic
Thanks
Jon

I was just looking over this topic again. Cold shot accuracy is not a competition. It’s not about whose gun is better than who’s. And it’s definitely not about sending guys chasing something they don’t need and having them second guess a gun they were previously happy with. A guys cold shot accuracy is for those who shoot living creatures. Once you determine how far out you can cleanly take something with a cold shot, you know the window for success. If the guns cold shot or even 30 minute shot doesn’t work for you in your particular use for the gun, sell it or try to fix it. There are work arounds and I have used them if the gun isn’t horrible. A couple clicks with the scope, hammer or just slightly adjusting your hold all work if your gun is superb after the first shot and changing permanent settings ruins it.

I agree. It is not a competition. For me it was just a curiosity about my gun after reading comments in another thread about reg creep and it's effect on a first cold shot. It wasn't even about shooting living creatures. I have a very predictable non regulated gun that serves that purpose.

As for my 5 shot test, I was pretty satisfied with the results and I suspect that the variations between one shot and the next probably had more to do with the shooter (me) than any other factor. But any of those 5 shots still would have taken care of the murderous raccoon in the chicken pen.

Thanks. I don’t have near the experience most you have. I’ve been brushing the springs lightly.
I don’t have that grease, next order l’ll get some.
I just put another TbT spring in an Ann. HW50. Same procedure, lightly brush on. Hope to shoot today. See what happens.
‘Again I appreciate your suggestion. Crow

Appreciate your sharing this post! Just the best bunch of folks.
How many have heard David's original 101 F.T. excuse list? Mentioned during site in I made the mistake of asking on the course. Poor breathing and tears rolling down you face whilst grinning takes a toll on your score. Or so I said that day. Try it sometime.

Awesome DS Griffin! Don't these sport the Harper Sling a shot valving? Had that in a Regal I previously owned, almost shoot like they are regulated, wonderful flat string! Beautiful, enjoy shooting it!
