I think intention is the key here. It is not legal to adjust your butt pad to allow it to rest on your knee or thigh. It is perfectly legal to bring your knee up to support the rifle. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have adjustable hamsters hanging off the front of our rifles.

I usually make a couple trips to the gun range every winter to shoot airguns. Had plans with two other friends, each of us were going to bring a couple of guns.
This changed my mind

How cold is to cold?

LOL, I feel your pain. I haven't been out to shoot in 5 weeks, it's either to cold or the snow is so deep I can't get to my range even with a 4-wheeler (range is way off the grid) but, this is what winter should be. Makes you appreciate spring and summer that much more.

Is the barrel parallel to the air cylinder? From the picture it looks like it droops down towards the front. If it is, that is why you are running out of scope adjustment. A "barrel band" that locks the barrel and air cylinder parallell and together would fix this.

I did think of that but from my end it's parrallel the photo just doesn't show it properly.

Only picture I've got in my files is this ... A modified TM
A TM / BM trigger is exactly the same parts but the safety lever is omitted for these Competition gun applications.

A HM if X or otherwise is the same, so remove side cover, pull safety lever off post leaving the lever spring in place and there you have it.

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Yes, it does.

I don't know if he ever blead out the factory one, if not, high temps would definitely occur.

You can actually feel the air blowing out warmer at the bottom and cooler at the top when there is air trapped in the radiator.

Mine never actually over heated, but it was definitely riding the ridge. I for sure burped all the air out. I have used it quite a bit since I added the external radiator and fan. Filled an empty 30 minute scba tank to 4500 psi and topped off another from 2700. And topped off a 3000 psi scuba tank from 2200 psi. No breaks, I didn't pay attention to how long it took,but it was hours and the temp never got out of 90s°f. So far so good.

Update
The pressure release valve is back together, and the CS-3 is running fine.
With a deadhead in the line, I incrementally increased pressure working my way up to 4000psi to ensure it would not release prematurely.
I then pushed the gauge to 5K and the valve did still not release
Considering that this machine never sees more 3600psi (250Bar) maximum, I'm not concerned.
But I am curious to know if there is a good way to test the limits of the valve.

Thanks again @1900colt .

The limit is endless, completely screwed down and it will never vent. If you're using 3600psi max, set it to start venting just above that, say 3800... and it will keep your pressure from getting way to high. You'll still have the burst disk protection as well, but that will be significantly higher as the compressor is designed for 4500psi use

I do agree wholeheartedly for LRF. However, I have to respectfully disagree with you on the digital scopes. I have not found a digital scope, which could rival a Swarovski or Zeiss (or Kahles or …). Their views become pixelated when zoomed in.

Unfortunately, Swarovski/Zeiss/… don’t have a scope with a range finder for air gunning (the Swarovski dS has an integrated range finder but its parallax correction starts from 50 meters).

The yotes are tough, a head shot will dent instantly. A heart shot they will travel a little ways before they expire. We see a fair amount of mange out here too.

Thats why I use 280 fpe pcp with 150gr at 50-180 yards. Heart and lung shot.

Nice setup you got there

Demphna2 said:

How much do ya'll think the blackwolf is worth paying for? I mean, it's a nice airgun with a lot of cool features, but what's a more reasonable asking price if we were to speculate?

Click to expand...

Sorry for stating the obvious but “they are worth as much as you are willing to pay for them”

However, looking at those prices, Alpha Wolf Performance seems a real bargain to me

I used a dollar store baby bottle brush in my .357 Challenger. Just clipped off the handle and slid the rest in the air tube. Has worked great.

How do I contact them? Everytime I email it sends me a email referring to the how to section.

Just call there 1800 number you will prob talk to rachel..IF your gun is new it will be warranty. In a week you will get new valve piece and be back in action.

I got my scout about a week ago from airgun revisions after seeing the recommendations on here..... shoots about a 1-2 feet low at 25 yards... I'm running fx .25 25 grain through it. Ive tried 3 different scope setups. I'm going to try lighter pellets next before I send it stoeger. Disappointed. I bought a refurbished hatsan flash 22 same time and it's dead on. So even though I'm new to air I know it's not me because the hatsan is capable of under quarter size groups at 20 yards with me pulling the trigger.

I would certainly contact AR, his after-sale customer service is why people recommend him so much.

Have anyone tried heavier slugs in the DRS 700?

Im shooting 16g zans at 970fps at 118bar with my DRS Pro.
My panthera 700 shoots 16g 970fps at 95bar, 20g 970fps at 115bar and 22g 930 fps at 120bar

I was wondering if the DRS are capable of shooting the heavier slugs?
Weather here in Denmark do not allow testing my self the next couple of months....

Click to expand...

Should be because your reg is low.

I don't have Panthera nor DRS. But I have wildcat mk3 bt, more or less a Maverick on wildcat stock with 700mm heavy liner, reg at 155 bar and I'm using the 12g hammer weight with the preload at max (until the gun won't cock) and then give it a full turn in (easing the hammer strike).

It can push the 22gr Zan at about 1000 fps and I tried to turn up the reg to 165 bar and it can push the 24gr slug close to 1000 fps. Although the ideal speed of the 24gr seems to shoot best at about 950 fps or lower on my gun. The 20.5gr NSA likes a variety of speed, but the best result I got is at 1011 fps. However, running the gun that hot, the shot count sucks and you may not want this set up for everyday use. Unless you want slugs with no hollow point, such as the 24gr and 22gr Zans.

But shooting 16gr at 118 bar sounds like a sweet, efficient setup. And for 177, 16gr seems to be a great weight for most occasions.

I suspect your gun might come with a lighter hammer weight that comes with 177 cal. So if you want to reg up, you can try the 11g hammer weight first. Or adding additional hammer weight from FX which is about 1g to your current setup or buying the huma air stiffer spring would give you a lot of configurations that you play with.

But damn.... The DRS and the Panthera sure sound extremely efficient and powerful. You should be able to shoot 24gr Zan supersonic.

Hope it helps.

fine job!!

My Davv sc30 (yong heng style) has become just a heavy burden. It needs a rebuild and I won't do it. Just going to the curb like the last one and see if anyone wants the scrap.

Still at it -

Just received some fx orings...they seem a little thinner than the replacements I've been using. I'm thinking they were too thick...they did stick out of the groove a tad bit.

Click to expand...

I was just typing a response when I was notified of the response. But, yeah very likely it was the wrong size breech ring. Either a .22, or some off brand "close enough" size. They use proprietary sizes or oddball extremely specific sizes on some parts and it can damn near impossible to tell them apart from eyeballing one that's "close enough". Also whoever said Amazon kit orings can be incorrectly sized, mislabeled, or differing duro than claimed is 100% on point. Glad you got the real ones. Imagine it'll work

I haven't changed anything from what Devin had it set at, it's pushing a JSB 25.39 at 814 to 825fps it's been so cold I haven't been able to do any adjustments but for the distance and what I'm shooting its working for me.

Great job guys !!!

Just my opinion - every Sheridan Model C, no matter its age, should have 1.

Click to expand...

I don't know that it really makes much difference, but through the years when I handed my Sheridan to someone to shoot, I'd ask them to pump it hand into hand. The end of the pump, into the hand guard, closing your hands together for the least stain into that brass rifle.

Great idea, thanks for sharing.

Another magazine solution I REALLY like the Manuloader offered by AGN member Shortcut.
I'm sure he could make one for the Impact. Essentially it works as a magazine that you index by rotating to the next pellet manually. The benefit is that the pellet has no spring tension on it. It is like a single-shot tray but much faster. The pellet is also fully enclosed which aids in direct lineup to the breech.
