Right track, wrong train. Consider drying the air entering the compressor pump. I feed mine with dry compressed air at < 10 PSI. DO NOT pressurize the inlet air you would think that would be helpful, the opposite is true. The motor will not start with pressure on the piston either. I'm not certain if filtering the input through desiccant is effective. My shop air is dry to a minus 150 F dewpoint and filtered to 10 micron. Not everyone has a dental compressed air system to do that. Compressing the air literally squeezes the water out of it. I live in a very wet place. I think drying the input air has merit, but really can't remove much water without compression, unlikely the juice is worth the squeeze attempting to dry the input air supply to the pump. A big molecular sieve type HPA filter is likely the best and most practical method to protect your guns from wet air. If you live in a place where air conditioning is a requirement to live running your pump in an air conditioned space is very helpful to minimize water.

Hi @Firewalker,
Just a quick note to thank you. I received the M60b .30 and went to the range on Saturday. New gun, new scope at 50 yards all on the paper, I am impressed. The M60b is a step up from my Avenger .25 in quality. Thank you for your encouragement.

p.s. I was surprised at the attention the M60b received at the range, lots of positive feedback.

I’m not that good at doing videos but I really do enjoy shooting slugs with my BRK Ghost!

Are those the .250 or .251 slugs?

When ordering a custom stock, and I have from both CS Stocks (Great Britain) and SC Stocks (Steve Corcoran) there still may be some final adjustments made to fit your action. My SC stock fit my R7 but not my HW30. Even Weihrauch doesn’t get exact tolerances. Also the fit needs to be not so tight as to blow the stock out from the movement of the action but not to loose that the action isn’t properly held.

Maybe your .177s have a smoother shot cycle than the 19ftlb HW95? Maybe you just need to get used to that?
Just thinking out loud

I had another R9 (same gun) that was nothing like this one along with HW97 and TX200. This one shoots 15 fpe.

Jeff, at EBR you shot .22 RD Monster Deep at 50Y and 75Y, but at 100Y you shot .30 caliber due to flyer and spiraling concerns, correct? AEA 50.5 grain at ??? fps...

Steve, those were exceptional cards, but I remember you started to have lots of flyers/spiraling, and in fact did not shoot that gun at RMAC that year and bought a .22 Daystate Red Wolf HP to shoot instead....

Click to expand...

Mostly correct. The HPX shot crazy good for a while after I first got it especially with the couple tins Mike N gave me initially. The next batch I bought from AOA was when things went wonky. Also tried some FX rebranded. Those might have both been when JSB changed their molds, I'd say probably so. I've kind of lost memory of the time frames of RMAC and EBR and what happened. I do know that at RMAC was when I had the huge flyers.

I had some bedding problems with screw spacing holes on the custom wood stock of the HPX. Bobby fixed that and re-bedded it last year. This seemed to help. But this spring I found what was a ever worsening problem for who knows how long. LSS, the receiver screws came loose from the lower part of the action enough to become obvious when I took the gun out of the safe one day. Once tightened the gun shoots slugs fantastic again. What's funny is when I was shooting the N50 @100Y with slugs last February it'd still do 1"-2.5" at 100Y with the ever so slightly loose reciever??!!

Once those screws were tightened again I went out to my friends place and hit a 1" spinner 9 times in a row at 100Y. That was with the swaged 42gr custom slugs and the barrel made to shoot those. Man that put a smile on my face.

A couple weeks ago I got 46/48 at UFT with the 17.7 twist barrel Bobby fit to the HPX. I had turned it down from 67 fpe to 49 fpe and used the 32.3gr Altaros slugs for Ben's upcoming new match format. Very happy with it currently.

Well there you go.

The best tool for maintaining a break barrel is a friend who is good at working on a break barrel.

Airgunwerks does not repair these rifles. Does anyone know who can repair them?

Probably valve and transfer port too.

It also has a regulator that you would have to deal with. Probably best to just purchase from Airgun Revisions if you want the higher power Challenger.

That's some amazing damage for a 90 yard shot, Congrats on a great hunt!

I used those with the .457 Texan last season and full pass thru shots as well they’re accurate gun season opens this weekend in Florida so hope to have same results

Definitely !

Thanks you've been a great help

SilentSquirrel said:

That's from a DUK IL RS 22
Made by The Duk Il Arms Company, Korea
RS= Rifle Shotgun
The gun was designed to fire shot and pellets, thus the long magazine
Pellets were not very accurate

I have one I am intending to restore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,someday

Amazing Thanks so much There was no way of solving it ! Thanks for answering the mystery

It's a copper M4 with odd lighting. Lots of fun shooting in my basement, for sure!

To add a little insight on weighing the pellets. They had a fish aquarium with the scale inside so wind, etc would not effect it. They had chrono‘s set up on Wednesday before the match and set up in the sight in area each morning.
I did learn something about my rifle. I put a rifle together for this event. I had never shot it in cooler weather. I had the velocity set up at 785fps with a JSB 8.44 in warm weather. I found the rifle I set up is temp sensitive (PCP). In the morning while in AZ my rifle shot as low as 723fps. The first day of the match it was warm and at the chrono test it shot 785. Day 2&3 at the chrono station it shot 760. I learned from this (other than I need to fix the rifle issue) to test your velocity at different temps. I knew I had an issue right before leaving for AZ as it finally cooled off and my rifle was shooting way low. I redid all my sight settings not realizing it was a temp issue. I thought I knocked the rifle around or something. As a result I shot great in the morning while it was still cold but things fell apart as it heated up and I was guessing on how many clicks of the turret to use.

Great, now I want to buy another K1 in .22, and I’m hungry for squirrel wings hahahhaa

Great shooting, those nut thugs are shifty!

Ask your buddy to remove the vale and measure the diameter. (Most likely to require M18 or 7/8, is my guess)

Cool Video. Not Bad For A Budget Break Barrel.
Color me impressed.
I received this same one today from Amazon.

I swear the people defending these prices must all be related to Mr. Burns or something. Dont take what I’m saying in correlation to me not loving the gk1. Just a bit fed up with these pellet guns costing more than military grade weaponry that’s all.

Niche product (they don’t get as big of an advantage from volume production), and they’re more complex than pbs, makes sense they’re expensive.

I use that sparkling ribbon stuff
Just tie it on the leg ezy to find

I got a bright florescent yellow shirt at a thrift shop for like 25¢. I cut strips amd tie on things that could go flying and easily lost in the field grass limbs and leaves.. lol .. you can shoot something off and it go flying 20y wherever but that bright yellow shirt strip sticks out like a sore thumb.. " oh there it is ". Lol

Finally got a buck but now I’m too burned out to start squirrel hunting. Feel like crap from too many miles into and out of the woods. I have three climbing stands to retrieve from deep in the woods. Maybe I’ll make it a squirrel hunt when I retrieve each of them. That will be three squirrel hunts.

How can a California ELR guy join you guys on your next extreme ELR outing?

I'm self efficient when it comes to multiple day shoots using my camper van.

Click to expand...

I try to shoot ELR for a morning every weekend. This time of year gets a little tricky with trying to catch the weather right. Before too much longer snow will become an issue with shooting in the mountains.
Worst case scenario, we shoot at our local range but it "only" goes out to 600 yards. You're more than welcome to come shooting but it might be tough to make a good worth while trip this time of year.

It's not disproportionate, it's just tax law, nothing more or less.

Fantastic !!! restoration you have performed.
You might want to check out MASTRO DESIGNS as they were heavy into P70 parts & pieces making these rifles a tad more user friendly when used outside 10M applications.

I think'en .. " there in range partner",!
