I use all of the above except I mount a Blue poster board on a target stand about 10 or 15 yards away to look at while adjusting the scope. A lot easier than trying to focus on the sky.

If I had to pick a reliable air rifle, I’d go with my AA S510. Got it in 2017, and all I have done is buy pellets for it. Can be found used for good price and hits the same zero every time I pick it up.

the breech would work but the breech screw hole is larger than the 2240 screw hole
the trigger assembly would screw on
the tube on the SSP is longer and uses a different cap and a different thread on the cap
the 2240 barrel and the SSP250 barrels are not interchangeable
now would i mix and match parts from the SSP250 and the 2240, maybe but maybe not
you can see in this picture the breech side of the tube line up but the 250 tube doesn't have the slot cut because it has the pull back hammer
the valve in the 250 looks to be much bigger
and some Diana 5G mag or P5 info

Great information thanks.

It has been very windy in Indiana the last three days.

Finished a day of "getting ready for spring" chores about 4:30 and decided I had time to shoot the 25 reactive spinner target course before calling it a day. The targets range from 25 to 90 yards, with the 25 and 35 yard spinners only 15mm in size. The balance of targets range from 1" to 2 1/2" with usually a small one and large one at each distance interval.

The last couple of days I shot the .22 Panthera 700mm with 34 Gr heavy slugs and the .25 King with the 50 Gr Altaros. They sliced through the strong winds out to 90 yards with perfect precision, almost as if the wind didn't exist.

Today, for something different, I grabbed the .22 Daystate Wolverine HP Regulated out of the vault. Its favorite pellet is the H&N Baracuda Match 21.14 Gr. Same strong winds and while not as powerful as this King or Panthera, I managed to run the course in the wind with the same result - an absolutely solid platform, shooting from a bag rest using a Hawke 6-24x56 Sidewinder with the mil reticle.

It was so much fun I shot 4 mags and I still had 50 bar left before it would have dropped off of the regulator.

Love my Gamo Magnum GR .25. Hard to cock. But accurate and hits hard.
Shoulders perfectly for me. Trigger was pretty good out of the box. But a couple small adjustments and it was good

Very impressive for 199.99 with scope and shipping.

Very good condition with the only blemishes being light ring rash…focuses down to 10 yards…mil dot reticle…1/4 MOA adjustments…$150 TYD in CONUS PayPal preferred

Finally posted a little video on my channel, it's really nothing special and is a whopping 25 seconds long. if you wanna check it out here's the link:
im going to try to upload some more stuff on the gun, probably not reviews or anything but just fun stupid stuff, like shooting an Air pistol at 130 yards in 23 MPH wind or something like that

new tank just taNK does not come with valve or butt hook just the tank buy its self up graded to carbon fiber

I built my own output manifold for my compressor. I drilled and tapped holes in the manifold for over pressure safety valve, pressure sensing switch, a pressure meter and a male foster fitting like the ones found on air gun tanks. This allows me to use the same whip I use to charge my guns to charge my 12 liter bottles. Please note that the air flows in the opposite direction as the foster fitting was intended to do. Most male foster fittings have a check valve internally that will prevent that reverse flow. So, to solve that issue, use a small pin punch and simply knock out the internal plug. In this application, once the bottle is full, you can shut off the bottle valve and bleed down the whip and compressor with the release valve on the fill whip.in the same manner as you do an air gun after filling.

I had the very same problems when I got mine. I found the same thing and found the parts in the shroud were loose. I also found holding the rifle from the pistol grip and the pump handle stopped the wondering poi. I found it to be very accurate after taking care of the loose parts and pumping 5-6 times in between each shot. I put 10 shots in a single hole at 25 yards.

I'm selling my M3 FX Impact in Bronze .25 cal with 700mm barrel. Gun is in excellent condition and is tuned to FX or JSB 34 grain pellets at right around 900 fps and is very accurate. Shoots JSB Hades very well to just have to adjust Macro wheel. Comes with Saber Tactical bag rider and Donny FL Sumo moderator. If interested in .30 cal I have a 700mm .30 cal barrel kit I could swap out for the .25. Will ship with FX hard case and 1 magazine. Scope and bipod are not included. $1400 shipped PPFF or G&S you pay fees. Or whatever payment type your comfortable with.

I sure appreciate y'all 's input. I'm new and learning.

Sorry for slow response. Think it was alignment of the body on the air tube. Took apart and put back together and seems better now. Thanks for posting up. Appreciate it

noticed Target Forge are using an orange molly grease for the crank pin. any idea what this grease is ?

Probably whatever he had laying around, because that isn't the grease that comes from the factory.

Wow, that may be the nicest HW 55 DST in captivity! Beautiful-condition, rare old rifle indeed.

Its rear sight is also interesting. Those early all-steel HW "turret" diopters must have been made in VERY small batches, it's amazing how many minor variations there are - plus, they were made in different lengths to optimize eye relief. Yours is the longest one I have seen - compare to this one of similar vintage.

Or, Rick at "precision pellet" has all the old Crosman stuff, and works on them.

Installed a JSAR P-Rod valve in one of my bottle builds that was previously powered with a Maximus valve coupled with a 2240 steel breech.

I had another P-Rod tube, so I installed the JSAR valve in it, along with a Hill gauge block and aluminum hammer. So I took the above assembly, minus the rear stock/bottle/reg combo, installed a gauge and P-Rod forearm & rear stock, and gave it to my neighbor. He was "shickled titless" you might say.

So I needed a breech & bolt assembly, and decided to use the top end & trigger group from my P-Rod build in a 1701 tube, which will of course be born again at some point, and a Marauder 20" barrel -View attachment 446130

And this is the result -

View attachment 446132

Well, I have to say, so far, I'm VERY PLEASED with the performance of the valve. The Gurllieu paintball reg has a 2200 psi output, and getting 31.5 fpe with FX 18.1 pellets.
I got lucky with this Marauder barrel - I sighted in with H&N 14.6 grain FT at 25 yards. - 15.89 grain Barracuda, Predator shorts, and 18.1 FX all have the same poi, and all still dead on at 42 yards, the distance from my shooting rest to my far target backstop. I can get in 55 yard shots from my Hunter position 13 yards behind my bench, but that's utilised for Hunter FT practice.

Hope this wasn't too boring, just thought ya'll might want to know what some of us are up to in the "cheap seats" -

For the US market, we recommend that you buy a 6 holes pellets mold. The speed of making pellets is about the same as that of 20 holes. The most important thing is that this is a mold specially launched for airsoft shooters. 10 holes and 20 holes are specially made for making pellets. Merchant of pellets for sale
I can't discuss price here, sorry. This is a picture of 6 holes
The molds we make have no service life, the manufacturing standards are very high, the precision reaches +0.005MM, and the finish is as smooth as a mirror


With correct operation, it can be used for a lifetime without damage. We use HRC55 degree 440C stainless steel to make the mold. The mold is extremely difficult to rust.

How can I buy .22 cal pellet mould? Plz tell me

The Anshutz 335 I owned was exceptionally accurate and benefitted above the FWB Sport for having a barrel lock.
The FWB Sports main area of weakness being its lock up quality.
Triggers and sights were comparable, while sleek styling was edged by the Sport.
In regard rifling, the 2 company's rivalled each other as the best around.

My own experience saw a better grouping 335 but only once you got the pellets right.
It's overly big TP made it quite pellet fussy and a little lower powered. The gun benefitted of using good sealing pellets like Superdomes to match the Sport.
One of the leading shooters at the infancy of the FT circuit in England chose a 335 to win many target shoots but favoured it in .22 but generally the Sport was the choice of most.

As confirmation, my 335 and 333 both prefer the Superdomes, exactly as you mentioned.

Friends,

Please take note of the following changes in the 2024 TEXtreme competitions match schedule, but also be aware it affects ONLY the April and May, 2024 matches. NONE OTHERS.

The normally-scheduled April 6 Bench-Rest Silhouette match at Central Texas Rifle & Pistol Club will not happen. Rather, in order to afford AAFTA FT shooters additional competition practice to prepare for the upcoming Cajun Classic AAFTA Grand Prix, the April TEXtreme matches will be AAFTA-style rifle and pistol matches.

Additionally, the normally-scheduled May TEXtreme AAFTA-style FT matches will instead be EXTREME Field Target matches; this to allow folks additional competition opportunities in preparation for our June TEXtreme GRAND PRIX weekend and Airguns Of Arizona’s annual Extreme Bench-Rest weekend later this season.

As usual fo all TEXtreme rifle matches the rifle matches in both aforementioned (April and May) weekends will take place on the first Saturday of those months. The pistol matches on both (April and May) weekends will be shot on Friday.

All shooters meetings on both weekends will be at noon, the matches to begin shortly after completion of the meetings. The sight-in/practice range will be open on all match days from 10 AM till noon (shooters meetings), and also from 5 till 7 PM on both Fridays.

More details about these matches will be included in each individual match announcement.

Thank You,
Ron & Maggyy

I was quite surprised how popular these Snowpeak M60B pcp are. I didn't even know anything about this PCP 2 months ago until Wes of AirGunArcheryFun asked me to review it. I am glad I did because it turns out to be a great shooter with the right ammo.

This gun looks similar to my FX Impact MK2. Obviously it does not have the built quality and tunability of the Impact, but this affordability of this PCP is hard to ignore especially after I found out the amazing accuracy that it can do at 50 and even 75 yards. I was able to hit a very tight 5 shots group (8.74mm) with the NSA 17.5gr slugs with the factory setting of REG/HS. Maybe I got lucky. I have tried 100 yards but the results were not as good as I had hoped for. However, it showed potential as my tests were done in a windy condition. As you all know how challenging it is to shoot in the wind with any guns.

Anyway, I thought I would share a video on some of the MODs I did with this PCP and hopefully some of you will find them useful.

For starter, I cleaned the barrel throughly then I added 3M carbon fibre wrap to the barrel shroud and the cheek rest. I did some minor adjustment to shorten the trigger pull to my liking.

The mod that was worth mentioning is the bipod extension rail that I put together. I couldn't find anything online except the Sable Tactical rail but I didn't want to pay for the price. So I searched online for alternatives and I saw the 230mm picatinny rails and a couple of rifle mounts that I thought could work. Luckily they worked perfectly with some minor modification.

I grinned off the last nob on the rail and tight fitted the rifle mount into it. I made sure it was a tight fit, so it would hold together better. Now I have a $30-40 bipod extension rail that works and looks perfect with this M60B.

Enjoy.
