I was going by his “high power tuning” vid. But il watch and save this one. Thanks a bunch!The Wildcat has a very specific reassembly protocol. Unless you marked the position of the air tube clamps, it likely will not function correctly.
Is Ernest Rowe's Masterclass video the one that you watched?
It's pretty well accepted as a good video to reassemble the rifle.

Yeah, I certainly don't need a 5K2. Besides not wanting to wait longer for the K1, I also think getting an overpowered compressor might make it more durable and reliable. And hey, maybe I can start a tank fill business and have it pay for itself!![]()
I am glad you replied that. I thought it was to high. But thought I may be a cheep skate. Sometimes I have 80's prices stuck in my headThats CRAZY expensive .. for just o-ring replacing.
Again, not what I was doing. Whether or not this applies to low or high power was not a criteria. It was, as I have stated, optimizing the volume of a plenum to the volume of a barrel. My objective was, within my small sample, to determine at what point increasing the size of the Plenum provided diminishing returns in energy.OK - I can see how there could be value there if going just for higher power out of whatever you have on hand . . . but it is not "universal" in that it does not apply as well to intentional lower power tunes and shooting. I think there (like 500+mm barrelled .22 calibers shooting under 20 FPE as an example) Scott's rule is likely better - at least more usable and applicable. Again, there may be a way to combine them into something even more usable for a "universal" decision guide.
For lower power shooters, I think your observation could be misleading. For example, with your rule, for a given caliber a short barrel needs less plenum than a long barrel, even if the owner wants the short barrel to shoot at higher power and the long barrel at lower power. That's what happens when one ignores actual air usage - that's where I think Scott's guidance is more likely to result in a better tune (at least in terms of air efficiency and likely shot cycle).
Since I'm not one to go where you are testing I'll leave it alone and for you to figure out (I set one of my .25 cals up for over 90 FPE once, but found no good use for it so brought it back down into the 40s). As for the too much plenum observation, I found that on that very gun when I tuned it back down - the ES dropped a good bit when I dropped the plenum volume back into the range of Scott's guidance and retuned the gun for that level.
Peace out . . . moving on . . . happy testing and shooting!
Yeah, probably. 250 bar give me only 38 consistent shots. pellet speed drops after that. So, it is 3 full mag, at 290 bar it is 4 full mag, but I got a bit nervous.Pyramid has the regulated flash, and under its specifications it says 250 bar max fill. I would assume that is the maximum safe fill pressure.
One of the most accurate and robust rifles I’ve ever owned (I’ve owned too many to count) was a bantam sniper bolt action. Never any poi shift, an absolute laser in .25 and just a rifle you could always trust. Matter of fact I liked that rifle so much that I literally picked up a Sniper XR .25 last night on the forum. I have a bantam sniper in 25 and I totally agree with you about it being a reliable rifle.
Looking forward to another “set it and forget it” platform.
I believe this announcement was sometime last week after Memorial Day, as I was browsing their site and put a couple different slugs in the cart but never completed the purchase. I just went back on Saturday and noticed they were out of stock and I noticed the announcement they were moving.What is the resolution? I just accidentally clicked in the NSA banner and see an announcement on their site that says they’re moving ship and are not taking orders until this week. Dunno how long this announcement has been published.
Looks like they’re sold out of quite a bit of inventory as well.
Any luck finding a shroud? Thank youLet me check. I might have one. I definitely have the bands both for and without the shroud.
