Fantastic shooting! Nice pic! Enjoy your awesome P3

I'd keep the radius on hoses big if you use the stock plastic type to avoid kinking. When the water gets warmer they are even more likely to kink.

If you break the sound barrior it will be loud but with a Donny Sumo what the pellet hits is 5 times as loud as the report

I think I was able to solve this issue. The old sealing under the bottle pressure gauge was rotten, replaced this with a new sealing. Also the treads from the bottle connector were not in good condition that explains the resistance while unscrewing. There was some play between bottle and connector thread, replaced the old connector with a new one.

His Dad passed away also . I was in contact with him and he told me what happened. Last time I talk to him was a few months ago…

Wish I had read your Msg sooner Thank you

I had similar thoughts while pulling a a patchwork through mine last week, but not nearly that refined.
Nice work.

One of these months, i'd really like to get up to Oxnard
The major hinderance is the traffic.
From San Diego, getting there is not as much a problem since it's early morning, but the return trip home doubles in time.
a 6 hour bumper to bumper grind through LA on a weekend to go 150 mile is enough to test anyone's sanity
But i'd really like to go up there and learn.
hopefully soon

The FX smooth twist or rifled choke idea was great, as a cost saving. If you want to know what spin rate your pellet achieves using that rifling system, measure it by means of high speed video: An effective twist of 1:36 to 1:48 may be fine for diabolo pellets, but the fact that those rifled chokes' helix angle were correct for 1:16 means twist in .22 caliber barrels, means the pellet are skidding through the choke. Which is why they tend to lead up.

In an airgun, the friction peaks as the projectile swages into the rifling initially. After that, the friction is much lower, providing the rifling is a constant pitch, and the land and groove width and height are constant. Sure, making a smooth bore uniform is cheaper, but the idea that a partially rifled barrel is superior has little merit. Sure, FX pushed the smooth twist concept as superior, until they figured out a cheap way to impress rifling into the full length of their blank barrel tubes. Now, that is superior.

As for Baikal's hammer forged barrels; I am very happy with my 46M pistol, despite the barrel being rifled full length

After a lifetime of working on powder guns and airguns, I can tell you that the words "match grade trigger" are waaaayyy overused in airguns. I've never seen any lead slinging tool of any power source that had a match grade trigger that wouldn't go below one pound, and usually much lower. I also think the phrase, "fully adjustable" is overused. Being able to move the trigger back and forth, doesn't me it's fully adjustable.

If you want to see a "match trigger", look at Anschutz, Steyr, FWB or any of the 10m airguns. The best and closest to match grade on a typical airgun is the HW100 trigger. It is stunningly designed and can be as good as a 10m rifle.

Another misused phrase is "two stage". A trigger that has free play before it contacts the sear for release is not two stage. A two stage trigger moves the sear during the first stage takeup and the "wall" is where the trigger is at it's release point, where any further pressure will fire the weapon.

Update: the Captain O Ring kit has one that fits. Held 4k psi for 24 hrs (longer test would be better but it didn't leak right away which is a start compared to others)

It is "L" on their list and I emailed them to get the actual size.

Only thing is it is 70 not 90 duro so will have to see how long it lasts at 4k psi.

Thanks for the help, all!

Glad you found it! I wouldn't worry about it being 70 rather than 90. 90's are more abrasion-resistant and heat-resistant (I think), but in many cases they are not flexible enough to squish into the corner of the groove they need to seal and they leak.

But I beat you to it bub. Mine has been ordered for a week. Hopefully, that Meg 45 will shut the f%#$ up!

Ha, I've had mine for a week. It's BIG........lol
But it is also quiet.

I switched to rim fires in 1984, anybody can kill a squirrel with a shotgun. I got into PCP’s right at 10 years ago and haven’t used anything else since. It’s a hoot hunting squirrels with an air rifle, I’ll never use anything else.

So far as the comments about the coyote being a hybrid; I guess that’s possible, however years ago I was able to take a black/dark phase coyote with pretty much identical color patterns including the white markings on the chest. That same year I was also able to take a white/cream colored coyote. The way I understand it these color phases do occur in wild populations. Any wildlife biologists in the group?
The body shape size seems typical to me for our area. It is normal for our coyotes to have slightly shorter noses when they’re young.

It's not a hybrid. You guys down there have a good chance at color phased coyotes. Better than anywhere else in the country.
Was he using artificial lights? Looks like a standard scope.
What's your boy going to do with it? Get it mounted/tanned? Sell to the taxidermy market? There is a market for off colored coyotes and that's a particularly good looking one.

It's an inferior connection for something that is going to be under load hence the reason only Airforce makes a gun with a dovetail mount under the gun and a bipod to match. No other gun does that.

You are entirely correct. I did my homework on it too and wound myself in circles before I discovered this. lol

At my age (67, soon to be 68) I try to find my ass with both hands, and if successful, go from there

Red dot is fun too
Hatsan with 11mm dove tail

This comment above. All my 177s shooting the 16 beast do that sometimes the 13s. My impact is smooth loading with the 13 KOs but the 16 beast are harder due to the length

I have only encountered one issue but haven't done much yet.

So far I have only filled the air gun and 24 hours later is still holding at 3300PSI.
I have not adjusted anything yet.
It is shooting 17.6 grain pellets around 870-900 FPS, and only shot about 10 pellets so far.

It is loud so I will print my LDC overnight and do actual shooting tomorrow.

Best of Luck!

Great to hear! I’ll keep in mind Veradium Air if I need Seneca replacement parts. Thank you!

I have tried All kinds of different designs. With the area of the shroud being so small I did not notice any difference with any of the different designs. So I went with the ones that are the easiest to print and Strongest.

Gotcha makes sense thank you for the explanation!

I'm fairly new to PCPs, and don't know much about their workings.
I have a Shinsung Fire 201 that has a leak that I cannot figure out how to stop. I have checked the o-rings, I have blasted with air to try to seat the o-rings, I have tried filling with it upside down, and I've tried dry firing while filling it upside down. It's a big leak. Any help is appreciated. Photos attached showing location of leak. (The spot in the circle is just a nick in the metal from removing that pain in the butt end piece.)

I’ve had a .25 impact for years, competed with it at the PA cup and did quite well (for my first time scored a 220). I bought a conversion kit to .30 and I can’t get JSB 50.15, AEA 45’s or ZAN pellets to shoot for nothing. In .25 it would shoot a full magazine into a group at 65 yards all touching. I did get quite a bit of black grease out of the barrel when I cleaned it. I’ve tried tunes from 840fps - 900fps and it’s spraying pellets at 65 yards. 3” groups. Any general recommendations for the .30?
