Clean the barrel good and use jb bore paste. Smoother is faster and you will see a few fps gain.

I had similar thoughts, but from a glance they do not seem compatable.

After watching a lot of disassembly videos, and compared parts and part break-downs.

I do believe it will work.

I won this Benjamin 132 pistol. It looks so new it's hard to believe its 50 years old.

The condition is incredible to me. I do not collect Benjamins but it was too nice to pass up.

Any idea what the real market value is for 132 in 100% without box or papers unfortunately?

I am scratching my head , Why shoot slugs at 30 yards? I can stack pellets one on top of the other at that range ,,,
Even at 50 yards with pellets if the edges are not touching , I need to clean my barrel,, I just don't get this slug thing.

Click to expand...

The reason I do in my .177 is for expansion and the KOs are the same price as pellets and the accuracy is about the same . I haven't found a slug that shoots as accurate as pellets in .22 so I use pellets. My next quest is to find a hollow point pellet that is accurate out to 50yds in .22 cal so I can get more expansion. I can get get decent groups with Polymags in .22 but need to do some more testing before making the switch.

These are some 50y groups with 16gr Polymags using my Vet 1 and Maverick both in .22 . But I still want to be sure they are consistent.

Just an fyi, most, just about all, pointed pellets do not shoot as well as domed pellets. They are just eye candy to people who don't know better yet. The only notable exception is probably the Predator Polymags. Stay away from anything else with a point unless you see proof that they are worth something. I have never heard of a pointed pellet winning any matches recently, if ever.

Did you mean that your Notos valve stem get damaged by too much pressure?

Click to expand...

I'm saying in my hand was a notos valve beaten to death by excess pressure. And I'm saying 3k isnt necessary for that velocity.


Out of the box you should be 725-735 with 15.89s at stock regulator setting I believe thats 18-1900psi. You should be 765-770 with cphp.

2100-2200, max 2400 should be all you need for the gun to move CPHPs at 835. A little increased hammer tension and you should be able to hit that on 2200. You have 3650~ to play from . At 3k you have 650~ psi before you're off reg. 22-2400 you have 1250-1450. 650- That's nothing unless you enjoy refilling every 13 shots

I’m not going to take a chance and ruin my 8002. It’s just too good of a shooter to mess with. I shot it for the “one hole challenge” here on AGN. 5 shots at 16 yards that measured 5.07 on the outside. That was a very satisfying day. I’m looking at the TM1000 that Martin is making now. Any thoughts on that gun or others for HFT.

You can’t go wrong with a TM1000 built by Martin!

Been enjoying those difficulties for 79 years. They “ain’t” too bad!

Dry firing in this case isn’t working. It has in the past but not this time.
Also I can’t get up to 3000psi to try and seat things. Air is rush out as fast as it is going in.

Question: Can you fill the tank with valve closed?

OEM spec on Steel M-rod tubes is @ 1.058"
The JSAR Aluminum tubes were oversize a bit and prone to o-ring extrusion on all the main tube SAE 118 o-rings

I was able to do some field tests with my new Pard Night Stalker 4k and so far it has shown some potential. I did, however, found some minor issue with the alignment of the laser flashing light and the aim box. Luckily I was able to find some info online on how to fix that.

Now, I just have to wait for drier and warmer weather to test it out on some pest.

Enjoy.

There’s not many States that suppressors are legal. Theres a movement to legalize here in California but I doubt that we’ll see it.

Click to expand...

I was wrong and surprised, 42 states they are legal. But the feds do have a few rules you with which you have to comply.

Not that it makes any difference to me, haven't owned a PB since my nephew *borrowed* my Savage model 99 back in the 90s and it got stolen.

I also heard the Mini and Micro have different valves.....not positive but heard this.

I'd never trust it for a serious purchase, but I bought my kids a ton of lego mini figures off there for dirt cheap which should hopefully arrive today. The tracking is an absolute nightmare and I don't even know who i'd contact if it never arrived. In the end you get what you pay for I guess.

Click to expand...

Pretty easy actually. On the order page is "contact seller" button. Takes you to a chat page. Tell the seller what is the issue.

If that doesn't work the AliExpress help has a live chat, tell the agent the issue and they handle opening the "dispute".

I've only had one out of many hundreds of orders where I did not get my money back. The USPS lost the return package, even though I had tracking #, AliExpress refused to refund my $18.

If you already have the 500mm king for measurement it looks like a 700 cc tank will add just a little bit over 5 additional inches in tank length

Wow, that's exceptional!

One Hawke Airmax 30 6-24x50SF, three Hawke Airmax 4-12x50 AO, Hawke Vantage 4-12x50 AO, Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 AO, UTG 3-9x32 True Hunter, two UTG Bugbuster 3-9x32 AO.


Depending on requirements, it's hard to beat and of the Hawkes or the Bugbustersm IME.

My granddaughter has a Bugbuster 3-9x32 AO on her pink Keystone Cricket .22 long rifle and hits the 200 meter chicken every time.

I found that the 6-24 Airmax was a mistake because 24x doesn't allow enough vertical reticle for 50 yards to 160 meters with my PCPs, double the price for a scope that I only use at 12x, things we learn.....

This is on my bucket list!

We are discounting the FX Panthera $200. We will also bundle, so call us for some huge package savings.

I appreciate the info. I have not had the opportunity yet to try myself, but knowing that others have had success gives me hope/confidence that rain won’t necessarily ruin my chances for logging velocity data.

Great shooting! Thanks for sharing!

I have owned two Huben K1's. I wouldn't think it would make a good FT gun because:

It doesn't come in .177, and, being a bull pup design, the trigger is definitely not match quality. Not even close.

The K1's are great for what they do and are for. Which is, unbelievable power, great accuracy, and flawless (as long as you use the correct ammo) semi-automatic functioning. But, a FT rifle, they are not IMHO.

One good thing is I can shoot at my house. I have a shooting bench in my garage.. I open the window and have 100 yd range.. I’d just like to get some experience at a live competition.

How happy are you with your MA2? From what I've seen & read I'm surprised you don't hear much on the forum about them. I personally think they're a lot of gun for the money.

Click to expand...

I have been very pleased with it. It definitely has decent power (80fpe). It has been very accurate with JSB 44.75 gr and AEA 45 gr. I've been consistently hitting 1" targets at 50 and 75 yds. Groups at 100 and 125 are still decent, but loses quite bit of energy by that time. Yet it still hits hard. It'll swing steel gongs up to 100yd, and still move them decent at 125 with an audible report of contact. So it has lived up to the hype. When I want more power and range, I grab the Bulldog M257.
