Yup ,it’s a Timahawk and has baffles in there. .. Tim Mc Murray wasn’t he importer of those guns. they Shoot around 775 to 800 with Ftt

This was Tim’s last one in .177. I was in his shop getting a R7 and saw it hanging on the wall. Needless to say, i walked out of his shop with two rifles with scopes installed.

Ok thanks

Dont worry its world wide shipping

I purchased from them a month ago. No issues and fast shipping!

I just purchased from them this week and got it in a few days.. They are def good to go IMO.

You don’t necessarily need a high dollar scope on your 10M rifle. I put a Mueller 8-32 target dot scope on my FWB300S and shoot 25M BR very effectively with JSB 7.87 pellets. This scope runs around $250.

Well said. I‘ve had the 717 and 747, both could out shoot me and I only have one currently, a nice boxed 777 that I don’t shoot much. I have a V10 and like it a lot but drool every time I see a FAS. Maybe one day.

Have had this Walther LP3 for a bit and finally got around to resealing it. 355-360fps with JSB 7.87. Time to go relax for a bit.

Yes, it shoots fine with it, but you lose air when filling and with the .30 every cu in counts especially when you can’t completely fill the bottle

Agreed, even more critical losing air with a .35. The $37 I paid Wes for the updated collar was well worth it. Even if not ideal, I'm glad you have a functioning airgun to enjoy until Wes gets everything figured out. Found a second life for those parts, too. Win-Win. WM

Thanks. OldVet appreciated that. I have it on the way scubajeeper.

Balance of weight should be the factor definition.

I have a 5 chamber on my L2 9mm. My current tune is at 180 bar/115 fpe and it is quite. The pellet hitting the target is way more of a report than what the moderator allows to escape.

Yikes! What did you do?

Nothing yet. The Notos is waiting until I’m done with thebPP750.
Trying to decide if I sand and polish the poppet pin, or file and polish the port in the rifle. I’m leaning towards the poppet, since it’s easier to buy a new one. Or go back to the original

Interesting, i had never heard about any others doing that. It is the only one that I run at 4,000psi, All of them get filled to 4500psi except the t9. I wish i could shoot in my yard, I would have Karen's calling the po po over gun shots.

That would be a 9L cylinder.

I will forget that I only use metric for fasteners and questionable activities.

But when a heavy, long for caliber, boat tailed pellet gets around 950 to 970 feet per second, YESSS! I am giddy. And things just die. Cans are cut in half. A bell rings at long range....... YAHOO MOUNTAIN DEW ! ¡ ! That feels so good! As much fun as you can have with clothes on. Be well Brothers, dito.

The difference in reg pressures could be due to different barrel lengths? It will take more reg pressure to push a projectile the same speed from a shorter barrel.

Also - most FX are rated for either 230 bar or 250 bar. You don't want to go above those max fills as it will be harder on other parts of the airgun (ie: o-rings, seals, etc) and may exceed working pressures for some parts.

I don't see it mentioned but the one thing I see missing from the discussion are specifics on what projectiles and at what speeds. Do you have a chronograph? Most pellets do best out of most airguns at around 880 fps. Some like a little slower, some of the newer JTS and AEA pellets like a little faster, but 880fps is basically the ballpark.

Once you know where you want to tune the gun (ie: 880 fps) you take your ammo and start shooting over your chronograph to see what speed you are at. You will need to likely perform a combination of tuning the regulator setting and the hammer spring to find you're ideal tune.

Here are the details for a basic 5% reduced max tune (my words - don't think there's really a name for it):

1. Find your current max speed.
   1. Shoot over the chrono and record speed.
   2. Increase hammer spring and record speed.
   3. Continue to increase hammer spring until you max out your speed. Don't keep going once you hit max as there is no benefit.
   4. See where you max fps is. Your goal is to tune to 880 / 0.95 = 926 fps (will explain below)
2. If your max speed is above 926 you need to reduce your regulator a bit and start the process over. If your max speed is below 926 you need to increase regulator pressure and start the process again.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above until you have a nice tune maxing out at 926 fps.
4. Now reduce the fps by 5% to 880 fps.

Your rifle is now tuned just before the knee of the power band at the regulated pressure. The reason you want to drop back 5% is that at max power your efficiency has dropped a bit and you are just blowing a bit of extra air out of the barrel. Dropping back 5% will give you a tighter ES (extreme spread of fps across a string of shots) and max shot count for that power setting.

A chronograph is important for the tuning you want to do.

If you search there are threads here which detail the process outlined above with much more explanation.

Ok, thank you all for your help, my problem has been resolved, the law in Portugal does not allow PCP weapons to have more than 24 jules at the exit of the barrel, hence their low velocity.

Click to expand...

so this is something I need to do when I try to figure out how to help someone, although I have no idea what laws are in various countries, I had no idea that you were in Portugal, I need to remember how to view the members location because the rules are definitely different in different countries.. I'm trying to remember but is it correct to click on the name of the members post area to see where they are?
glad you got it resolved, I need to learn more I guess about getting around the site..
Mark

A little short on shot count but that can be remedied with a larger bottle from Best Fittings in UK. I get 120 shots with my .22.

Finally got the spring to replace the ram on my Gamo Bonne Collector.
Ordered a strong spring with .152 Dia. coils. Am happy with the results.
820 fps with Premiere magnum 14.3 gr. When will miss taking the gun
apart, will try with factory piston and different seals. Maybe even shim
the spring.

MongooseV8 said:

I found the opposite and have some kind of tensioner on all my FX builds.

To the OP the answer is effectively no. The Impact and Maverick use different length shrouds. For a cheap alternative you can try using a shim between the shroud and the front barrel support. It needs to be just a little bit longer than the gap you have stock. Dont tighten down the shroud like crazy though as you can pull the barrel transferport out of the breech. This will give you the benefit of still having a shroud to help with noise.

You can also buy some CF tubing on ebay or amazon the correct dimensions for your barrel housing and guy to length for an interference fit with a moderator.

Thanks , I think I'll give it a try .

Същият дизайн на порта като серия hatsan bt 65. В тези пушки по някаква причина тунерите блокират всички останали дупки, оставяйки само една за по-добра настройка... това беше преди години, предполагам, че сега ще работи по-добре.

Едно допълнение, дизайнът на Hatsan беше този на тялото на клапана, а не на цевта. Като добавим и че Хацан нямаше пленум...... нещата са коренно различни.

I have my Yong Heng in a minimum hassle format and am happy with it. Nothing more than an O-ring has been needed after 4 years of filling my 45 minute bottle 1 to 2 times a month. I have the distilled water plus water wetter coolant in a sealed drywall bucket with two little radiators with fans on top. I don't change it. Sometimes in the summer I drop in a couple frozen soda bottles. I also have a fan on the motor. I change the oil once a year. When the bottle gets down around 3200 psi I flip a few switches and refill it. It takes up more space because it is not integrated but I have space in the storage room where it is.

But I agree the GX pumps look interesting. The CS2 might be the best for use away from home just because it's so small and light. Even the CS 4 is small enough to use this way and can still fill my bottle. The CS 5 is too heavy to be easily moved but it also fills bottles about as fast as the Yong Heng. But it costs about 3X. But still they are interesting.

Check the valve seat. It can rotate and choke off the transfer port. My friend's panthera had this happen spontaneously for some reason.

Yes this is very normal as well as the long gun. It’s just the hammer in action.

I would propably try out the Ronin for going as silent as possible but still maintaining great accuracy. I would also try out the new moderators from DonnyFL. I just don't have experience on them myself.
