Tuning for 12 shots at 40 would fit my use case. Mine are totally stock -although I have messed around with spring tension and alternate springs. I don't have any experience tuning and don't have a chrono. Although I am willing to wrench on things, tinker etc...but honestly based on time/availability at this point I am more willing to pay someone to do it.

Send me a DM we'll schedule a time to get your rifle tuned.

Hi its so easy! Let me first tell you. Shoot your gun in for zero example at 20 meters with your ballistic calculator of. Then after you fill the parameters correctly turn on the ballistic calculator. Go to the distance at 5 meters (thats the minimum dsitance you measure with lrf) ant shoot. For example your poi is higher than poa you must tweak your scopehight as far as needs downwards. If the reverse is going on then tweak your scopehight up.
For your scopehight at 70 mm is i think more then 15 mm to high. Bring it down and shoot again. The tweakaction has no involvement for your zero distant shooting at step number one. So if you did setup your scope right your zeroshooting and your schooting at 5 meters must be hole in hole!

I found that pellets must be seated properly on they will be crushed when closing the barrel. A firm push with a fingertip is sufficient.

I hope they fixed the problem where the o ring In the barrel ( breach end ) would blow out If the side lever was not slamed closed all the way this would happen on the MK1 It was a pain In the @Ss to reinstall . I sold mine because of this problem ...

Hi Again,
I really recommend that you do a disassembly of the mechanical parts of the Crown action. In doing this you will get a much better understanding of how things work together and what effects what. The best source for assembly/disassembly of the Crown is the You Tube Channel "Sub12Airgunners". They are a father/son team from the UK who are machinist/techs who tear things apart, figure out how they work, improve them, and put them back together. They work on the UK required <12 fpe versions of the airguns, but they talk and the higher powered versions and how they are different. In the UK to own an airgun with more than 12 fpe you need a Fire Arms Certificate (FAC) from your local Police Dept.

Below is the video of how to take apart the Crown. Look on their channel for videos on tuning, repairing, resealing, etc.

Cheers,
Greg


P.S.: I just looked at the above video again and realized it shows the Crown MkI. There really aren't many differences with the MKII, but the guys do have another video showing all the differences. I am attaching below.

Also realized that they show how to degas the rifle in another video. Really simple to degas. Take off the bottle to empty most of the gun. The turn the regulator abjustment screw a little counter-clockwise and the plenum will empty. Make sure both gages show Zero.

If it is AirForce it is not BSP. My only guns with SAE thread screws. All the rest are metric or some BSP.

That is definitely a taper so that really only leaves 1/8 NPT.

Thanks as that’s what I thought but I got the wiggles before ordering

Wes at Airgun Archery Fun has the 1/2-20 end caps. Snowpeak changed to that.

Call or email him.

You need to try the Hades in the .25. They work really well. I used to use the 33.95’s on squirrels but I find the lighter Hades transfers more energy because it doesn’t blow through as fast and the nose opens up where the domes don’t.

Hades .25 (26.5 grain) is only pellet my JTS Airacuda MAX will shoot straight, that is, after two years of correcting manufacture/design flaws. "First blood," not that long ago. Hadn't considered your findings, I'll bear them in mind. Thanks, WM

Imagine when huben gk1 .30 cal gets here

I do like my t9 as well though pretty nice little gun

Some were used only a couple of times by the original owner, then hidden in the attic for the grandkids to find.

WOW!!!!

well a hammer yes but a small brass hammer in the range of 6 OZ just a tap or two
it is hard to believe the pin came out i have seen that the front sights over their long period of time on the barrel are firmly in place but of the sight is loose and can be taken off i would do that and clean everything before reinstalling
see that the Ebay seller that sells many FWB parts has them in stock and that pin they will fall out and or become missing
i would guess a brass punch and hammer will do as well and an extra set of hands

I long to shoot non-opticals so bought a Hatsan Hercules Bully because of it's long pic rail/ for shooting aperature sights. The gun comes w sights, but either they suck or my eyes do because they simply don't work. But the Williams flippers that I put on are fantastic.

Atta boy Stanley. One at a time. Free loading tree rats.

i own both Avenger and Avenge-x . go with the Avenge-x for all the reasons discussed above and the good discussion/disclosure on Pyramid site. BTW, both my guns are super acurate out to 60 yards with 18 grain JSB and AEA (i recommend AEA)

This is excellent does every airline do this I need to look into this how come more people are not doing this.

I don't know. But every major airport has an air freight area with many carriers.

I shipped mine American Air Freight a couple times. Oakland to El Paso and SeaTac to El Paso. The rifles got to El Paso before I did both times.

There are lots of Air freight outfits going between airports. If you shop around you will find a carrier.

I'm sorry but I don't.

I must have her long lost cousin as I also cobbled a hipac together and she has been anything othar than pleasant. I help her in one area and her demons slowly crawl out of the dark to inflict her in another area. You have given me hope that with time and effort she will be complete again.
Good work good sir.

I never took mine apart but from this photo I assumed that the motor was enclosed in its on case with just a the shaft and pinon gear sticking out through a bearing. So for grease to get into the motor it would have to pass through the front shaft bearing. But you seem to imply that the motor isn't covered 100% on the front side and the internal are exposed behind the pinion gear. In that case I can see why thick sticky grease was used. If the pinon gear can be removed and a thin plastic shield add to "seal" the motor's internals then thinner grease or, even thick gear oil, may be better.

Maybe. The motor/gear interface might be completely different too. My pics are of an L2. I'm not sure of exactly what's going on with all the parts in yours.

The wood grain is nature's art work. Really lovely stock KWK.

Nobody likes the Hawke Airmax Compacts? I have other Hawke scopes, not the compacts though, and very happy with them for HFT or hunting. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised nobody else has mentioned the compacts. Price maybe?

I have one in 4-16x. Its an OK scope, but I dont love it. The eyebox its small and the reticle sometimes is not in focus. I much prefer my veyron in reticle clarity. And its cheaper.
