I have dispatched a few coons in a trap. I used a Benjamin discovery in .22 cal and a Williams peep sight. It worked well.

Right on...that's what I wanted to know as a few others mentioned.

Looks like you got your moneys worth. Good stuff.

Quick google search says these are gone. Is there a good alternative out there that doesn't cost a fortune?

Edit: "Gamo rocker trap" looks promising at $32 and resets....but not sure its gonna hold up to PCP

Lol. I was shooting it with the HW40 last weekend while BBQ-ing.
That pic of it is actually an old one. it is more worn out now as I set it up for longer range and started shooting it with the rifles, over the last year.

I have 2 "toting" guns now for "field hunting" - a term I use for walking around all the time versus setting up in a blind or in a fixed position. The EVOL .22 and a PHC .25 are my "goto" now. For most of the small game - mostly pests - I use the EVOL as it is extremely dependable. So far, the PHC is also very reliable and can really pack a wallop in terms of fpe.

For 65 yards and under in settings that I need to be extra quiet and also very cognizant of my surroundings, I use my Daystate Wolverine R 177 - but its not a carry gun for me.

Waiting for the new AAA line to appear for sale. Might have to look into that new .257 with slugs. The problem is what to let go of in return! LOL

be sure to share it in the industry feedback section so it doesnt get buried in the general section.

Good news for the fx owners and hope the good service continues.

@ Jay- do yourself a favor- on the left side of the gun is a small black cocking block, that the cocking arm is connected to, and this block is anchored to the stainless or titanium cocking rod, with two M4 grub screws. Those typically have locktite on them but trust me when I say those will work loose in time, and throw your velocities way off(like up to 100 fps) cause that rod will slip and cause your pellet probe that’s attached to the rod to get misaligned with the air transfer port.

If you try bearing down on those grub screws you chance rounding off the Allen socket, then you’ll never be able to tighten it and worse yet, remove them.

Source two M4 x 6mm length socket head Torx screws and replace those grub screws one at a time. Do use locktite on the new fasteners and do heat the grub screws before attempting to remove them. The Torx head will allow you to bear down tight on that cocking titanium rod, and the chances of stripping a Torx head is rare. You’ll sleep better knowing you’ll never lose your transfer port alignment, lol

Thanks, I didn’t realize this could effect fps. I’ll look up how to check the probe alignment and check those screws.

This was a HW100 FSB (full shrouded barrel) when I purchased it a couple of months ago from another member. I'm not a big fan of long airguns so I ordered a 410 mm barrel and barrel band and converted it to a carbine. I'm selling with both barrels. Gets about 70 shots before falling off the regulator. JSB 15.9's average about 740fps with the carbine barrel and about 750fps with the longer FSB barrel. Airgun is in very good condition and shoots great with either barrel. This was an impulse buy, I already have Two HW100 bullpups and find I just don't shoot this one much at all. Comes with everything in the pictures except scope and rings. Price is $800 shipped in the lower 48 states.

SOLD Pending payment.

21 Tins of JTS 25.39 grain pellets. $135 shipped in continental US. PayPal +3.5% to cover fees.

Mmmm, Na Ah, I got a bit of silver as a hedge against economic shortages, but I'll keep my lead against food shortages !
My brass and copper is my hedge against.. well, you know.

Thanks Tom. Happy to hear your still using your flags.

I did watch a video review of a sidewinder that was set up as a lefty model. If I can find it again I'll post it here.

Edit: Never.mind. it's just a reversed image. When I watched it the first time I didn't notice the writing on his shirt was mirrored.

If you are using a Heritage Arms Cold Shot scope base with a dovetail to picatinny adapter, here is some helpful info.

I shoot a Texan which has a dovetail scope mount. I also have a Heritage Arms Cold Shot scope base which I use for long distance shooting.
According to Heritage Arms, the Cold Shot can only be mounted to a MIL-STD-1913A Picatinny rail. (this standard is important). This mil-std rail is 21 mm / .826 inch wide.

I purchased a dovetail to picatinny rail adapter on Amazon for less than $30. The width of these cheap Amazon adapters have a width of .817. The difference in width is the problem with these cheap adapters. No matter how much you torque down the 3 Cold Shot bolts on the picatinny rail, it will not hold the scope snugly.

I was ready to order a USA and professionally made adapter from Kelbys rifles for $85 which is out of stock. Then I had a thought of using some metal shim material I already had, which worked like a charm.

I had some .008 metal shim stock which I cut in strips and slipped one on each side where the cold shot mounts on the adapter. Now I use 1/2 of the effort to lock down the Cold Shot. I'm going to try this for then next few months. If the Cold Shot does not loosen up, I will make it permanent. Or at least until Kelbys rifles has their adapter back in stock.

I hope this info helps other Cold Shot users.

What a mess. As a retired banker, I can tell you that the only folks who will come through this in good shape are the lawyers. Their fees are preferred claims, and as soon as the remaining assets are drained, the lawyers will take a hike.

@Deerstalker - I like that blind! I need to get one like that, all I have is a cheap ground blind. It works but isn't ideal.
You mentioned office...well my blind gets WiFi from my house! So I have literally moved my office to my blind!
With my luck I'll be ready to let loose on a deer and the phone will ring.

Good to know and thanks for let us know. What did you order instead?

Click to expand...

I got in contact with Joost at airgunheavean- Great communication and is actually interested in what you want and giving you quality service. With that said I ordered a Lelya 2.0 in .22, Huma Reg installed for 25 bucks, another 25 for shipping. I do NOT have the gun so as of this post I can not state anything on the gun. But Joost earned my $2K order( I ordered other stuff).

If you want quick and easy go PCP. Very expensive if you go top shelf. If you want to learn a new skill, be amazed at the accuracy, and have a lot of inexpensive fun start off with a quality fixed barrel springer and learn to shoot it. Videos, I have watched a lot, A few good ones but most of them the guys could not compete at our local matches . The only experience I have with arnadillos is driving thru Arkansas. I would think a baseball bat would work. I started with a TX200, HW 97s are very good. My Diana 54 is becoming my favorite. On UTube watch Gary Chillingworths videos from England on springers. Like all the shooting sports you will get out of it what you put into it.

Spring is coming and pigeons are activating. In my farm there are not so many of them, but still they poo everywhere and on everything. And that poo is considered contaminant. Anyway, long story short. My FX Dreamline and AirMaks Krait L is under tuning process (still, unfortunately, lack of time and very bad weather for tuning outside). But Snowpeak P35, in .177, was there to grab it from gun "safe", load, aim, and pull trigger state.
Yesterday took down one pigeon @42m and today 3 pigeons @26m and incline 23deg. They sat on the roof of grain dryer tower. It seemed that they didn't know WTF is going on and I managed to take them down 1 by 1.
One of them fell between silage bales and can't be collected.

Snowpeak P35 in .177, JSB Exact Monster RD-s, 13.43gr, shot at 858fps.



And that one that fell down, between bales.







Last year, in February, the same gun, tune (factory reg. around 130bar and hammer spring adjuster screw turned out, flush with the back of the block), pellet. Eliminated 4+ pigeons, did not take pictures of all of them.



So far I'm impressed with that Chinese airgun.

Thanks for the info all. Checking out the ebay seller


Looks good. Not sure exactly what a poppet is though. Allot of the specific terminology is lost on me

Ebay seller looks good once I get the sizes.

It's the part associated with #2312 above, not sure what it seals against, seeing as the flashpup stem is all steel, it likely has a delrin seat in there, guessing #2314 or #2315, but a tear down would reveal the culprit. Honestly that design seems prone to leaking so its probably it.

Here is the main valve stem spare, but it is likely NOT the culprit so don't order one...but that will lead to in the direction of why air escapes your barrel.

You want to inspect the part this sits/seals against for any wear/damage.

Could also be oring #2316...but without tearing that gun down I am honestly guessing so you'll have to either do that yourself or send it off to someone experienced with these.

Hope this helps,
-Matt
