Thanks Jack.

Have been reading ‘all’ of your responses to various compressor posts.

Q. Do you know how easy/hard it is to replace a new power supply, should I go with the CS4-I? I like The convenience of having it internal. Not worrying about heat, because the unit is water cooled and I will baby the fills.

Not worried about the extra cost.

Replacing the internal power supply and/or the circuit board on a CS4-i is not particularly difficult. My friend had to replace both on his new CS4-i and I didn't hear any serious complaints. The CS4-i compressor is water cooled but the internal parts such as the power supply and the circuit board are not. I don't imagine that it gets severely hot within the case but when it comes to electronics less heat and less vibration is good and no heat and no vibration is better.

If you like the convenience of an internal power supply, I say go for the CS4-i. My CS4-i was perfect out of the box and remains so today - no complaints.

I ended up just Supergluing them, then realized I cant open the case anymore, and also that aluminum shouldnt be heated above 150c (i was planning on ungluing with heat gun). I like your idea better. Thankfully the magnets pop out of the nylon bushing theyre in so Im able to take the thing on/off still.

Welcome to AGN..

Reading the Rules seems SO simple, but very rare....
This type of question pops up extremely often and is something that shouldn't.

I've said it before; The first rule to attain 'rights' on this site is to READ the Rules.

Your address in PM.

Looks great, put in a museum.....
I'm doing Yard work with mine, cutting climbing vines off my Pecan trees 35 yards in the back yard, from the cool climate of my laundry room backdoor,
Artwork, Yardwork, it's all good.....

Fx king 600 in 30cal..does my regulator pressure need to be 165 bar for a good speed on day a 50gn slug?

Jim = My P-15, Bullshark & Pinty all have the same trigger set- up. I like that I can change the weight in about 5 min. I usually shoot in the ounces in my basement & about 1 lb in my yard. Instead of getting longer screws for the sear I put vibra-tite on my screw & haven't had any problems going up & down. Either way works though.

As I posted on another thread. I spent some time researching 4 heroes from my home town that died in Vietnam Learning a little about them seemed like the thing to do today. 4 guys from a little town in Michigan, seems like a lot. One was the older brother of one of my friends I grew up with. He was killed in 1966. I was 10 and remember it like it was yesterday. Here’s to the heroes

You are welcome.

I sure you’re correct. I just don’t have an area where I can stretch it to say even 50 yds. Dang it!

Well I finally settled on a grease for the gear case. The Chevron Open Gear Grease pictured above. No other grease stayed on the teeth as well. The other grease were leaving the gears dry after only a week or so of heavy use. The Chevron grease, after 3 weeks of daily use, still covered every tooth and you can see how it slooooowly runs down and replinishes the gear. This is far better than ANY grease I tried.
Mind you, this is only for the drive gears. Everything else gets Renewable Lubricants Food Grade EP grease.
Here's the Chevron grease in the gearbox after 3 weeks.

I already made a Speed shifter for it!


How it works.

When you "crazies" shot this match with your pistols, did you have the scope magnification set at 12x or 16x?

12x

What i was getting at is it is easy to take any airgun with the best of the best factory parts cherry picked to perform perfectly together. Like most company sponsered shooters. Their gun they use is certianly not the gun i would recieve. Looking at airgum competitor rifles i dont believe a single one of them rolled out of the factory as is. They all take tuning and monkeying with to shoot one hole groups. Atmospheric pressure and temperature alone can take a great shooting gun and just be ok. But it would be amazing to shoot one hole all the time think of all the competitions i would win ..im pretty sure id be famouse

Wrong. No one tunes guns before I get them. They come straight out of the box and half the time they are broken. I order many of them anonymously or from Europe. Like Hatsan Factors (all) M4 arrived broken, DSR broke, Black Wolf .25 is shooting 1 inch groups at 50 yards with all ammo at all speeds...how was your day? Epoch on off valve also broke today, so, bad day at work I guess. Many of the manufacturers actually hate me. Like Hatsan and FX and many more. The ones who don't like me, Pyramyd Air handles the promotion of thier guns. All guns get a fair shake, drama stays off screen. If the guns sucks, it doesn't make it to the editing room. You guys may never see the Black Wolf for instance.

That's where the flashlight trick works well and a mirror.... I highly recommend the flashkight trick

Who made that excellent barrel/bottle band and bipod attachment for you? I need something just like it for my shorter, fatter bottle!

As horrible as that trigger feels out of the box, it breaks in to become a still horrible but incredibly predictable trigger. I actually really like shooting those things as built.

Are you casting those slugs?

yes from an 8 cavity MP mold.The alloy is a mix of pure lead and range scrap.BHN 10- 12

Thanks for this tip.

OK so contrary to popular belief I clean my M4 barrel often. It does help to maintain accuracy . Hope it stops raining ! Check scope too . You probably did OK

My understanding is that the China De Minimis rules as of May 14th is that a 54% tariff or $100 flat fee still applies to Mainland Chinese made products. Things change so often that I'm not keen to purchase anything from overseas. European tariffs are delayed to July. It's hard to keep up with the changes.

Yes, you are correct. I missed the 54%.

I was thinking about 4 guys from my home town that died in Vietnam. 4 guys from a little town in Michigan seems like a lot. I actually researched them all and learned a little about them. The one I remember most was the older brother of a friend I grew up with. He was killed on Hill 55 in 1966. I was 10 years old when that happened and I remember it like it was yesterday. Give the hero’s a thought today and maybe raise a beer to them for their sacrifice. Have a great rest of your Memorial day friends.
