Could be worse. In adolescence I met a kid that was into G.I. Joe. Yet another into Ken and Barbie. Any potential friendships ended when the dolls came out and I excused myself to shoot my airguns... politely, of course.

BTW, FYI, and FWIW... that still works.

.

I would be the one that got punished when they found G.I. Joe in a red ant pile with his head shot off. Lol
I got arrested once and taken to court. The Mayor says, Harold you are accused of shooting Mr Charlie's mail box. I said, no sir, that was a .22 caliber dent. Mine is a .20 caliber that would have made a hole
With that I was dismissed.
True story. Lol

Am trending to think that is a big part of issues is the MAJOR throttling the power back so far from the guns potential where by design there meant to Roar !! ... yet as configured is running strangled and not in it's happy place.

Yes definitely! Although I think the small calibre barrels are part of the problem, but I will find that out just as soon as I can find a suitable barrel.

I bought a Limb-Saver Harmonic Dampener for my .457 Texan. Fiddled with it for quite a few rounds until I was able to shrink my group size down to 1.5"‐2" at 75 yrds. Pretty pleased with the results as I rarely hunt/shoot any further than 100 yards with it.

Does anyone know the ins and outs of these models and model numbers?
SOLVED: there are regulated and unregulated versions.

Supposedly the wood Underlever gets a stock regulator soon but that's for another thread.

Being as it is from the Robert Beeman collection, I might go $450.

.22cal. I can do whatever I want with .22. Shoot 14.3 Crossman @ 340fps, 25.39 JSB @ 960fps, 27.5 NSA @ 960fps. So versatile in one rifle. Now need for. 25cal for my applications. Plus ammo cheaper.

I was just curious as to the lack of lightweight/sub 1 pound rifle optics for airguns, or that could be used on airguns. Scopes that have an adjustable objective or parallax adjustment down to 10 yards. Scopes to make note of:
-Leupold 3-9x33 EFR at 12.1 oz iirc; sadly uses duplex
-Hawke Vantage line has quite a few scopes under 1 pound, thankfully. Though not many go beyond 9x. I personally own the 4x32 AO, and love it.

I have looked at other rifle scopes that come close, some from Vortex, some from higher end companies, but most if not all fail to focus at 10 yards, and/or are much heavier than that 16oz mark.

I was curious if anyone here has made a list of lightweight optics?

That Leopold 3-9 is a great scope. I seem to remember Nikon used to make a similar scope. Sadly, they have exited the rifle scope market
Leopold does make a 4-12 that's pretty light weight, but I don't think it focuses down to 10 yds.

so i just read this and it may help in the future
For o-rings used with CO2, **polyurethane and fluoroelastomers (like Viton) are good choices due to their high resistance to CO2 and good sealing properties. Nitrile (Buna-N) can also be used, but it's important to consider the specific application and temperature range.

now the Oring store has those min 75/80 dura in both 19 and 20.5mm ID

Glad to see an airgunner putting out a quality product. He's been advertising on Brad's and the yellow for a long time now. I considered buying from him some time ago, but resisted since I already have a billion rounds stockpiled.
I throw in extra, and sometimes throw a sampler. It doesn't take much more time to produce, plus it never hurts to under promise.

blackbird1993 · Feb 8, 2025

Thank you for the answer!

I will have a look on ebay.

So its like a "labyrinth" for air....bigger surface...more condensation on the bigger surface...water and oil can stuff can flow back while the air travels up.

Yes I know and that's why I only put it on high pressure seals, but like I said, the cloth Robert Beeman put in that pack is oily like balistol, not like silicone. ??

I'm no chemist, but there are many types of silicone oil out there, made in many different formulations and viscosity weights. Whatever was on Beeman's cloth was not the same stiff stuff you lube seals with.

I also recommend the Primos trigger stix , mine is the tripod tall one and it’s my go to rest for hunting ground squirrels. I also have a Caldwell dead shot field pod. It’s much shorter and works from a sitting position. I have a bogen tripod with a clamp that I use for plinking off my porch. Much more stable than the other two but too heavy and bulky to consider for hunting.

“Just out of curiosity…have you been sitting on this photo for a year? “

no, didn’t even catch that! I was too focused on the bubble letters to get the date right! lol …. Good catch! To add insult to injury i reviewed the footage off my sd card and the date was wrong on there too! 2001!

Yes, but I have noticed that it is only consistent without losing any speed if I adjust the hammer to 920 fps so it does not vary much, only 4 or 5 fps when I stop shooting if I adjust it to 880 then the speed drops if I stop shooting for 5 minutes it drops to 860

Completely normal. If you want better performance at 880 you need to drop reg pressure a little and retune. The wildcat/maverick platform does not drop very far below its peak tuned spot (yours with the current reg pressure seems to be 920 fps) and still maintain a super consistent shot to shot speed. You have a bit too much reg pressure for it to perform at its peak level with an 880 velocity.

Im learning a few things along the way.

It's a challenge on it's own.

Question for those in the know. How do they keep PCP biatholon guns functioning?

Hi guys! Yesterday me and my grandson skipped work/school. For a little pappy & boogie time! So, we hit the woods for a little squirrel hunt. And deer hunt that evening. Hope I’m not being bad pappy ,for letting him skip day of head start for hunting. Lol only one squirrel not much happening there. But we got nice 8pt on evening hunt. And oh boy was he excited!
And best part ,mommy and daddy came out to help blood track. It made me so proud to see him show mommy & daddy how to properly track a deer! I smiled every time he told them to slow down and stay on blood. Boy he is a sponge. He is soaked up everything I have taught him. But a sense of pride and joy came over me like I’ve never felt. It actually made me shed a tear. I took his daddy hunting for his first time last year. And mommy has been hunting with me since she was a little girl. And now my grandson boogie has learned this from me. And watching him have that much fun in the woods together was just magical. I truly hope that everyone has a chance to experience that. It was a moment I will cherish the rest of my life! Pics below! Sorry, for bad grammar and punctuation! View attachment 536736 View attachment 536735 View attachment 536738 View attachment 536737

Airacuda max 25 for squirrel
Crossbow for deer

That is awesome! So nice to see an entire family involved, just the way it should be.

Craftsman Vit made them for the HW 45 and 75 for a short while.

View attachment 537061

There seems to be a store in Germany(?) that sells them:

Craftsman VIT Custom Weihrauch HW 45 Anschlagschaft / Griff Piston Stock – Mamba Target

mamba-target.com

I don’t remember them being this expensive though; they were most probably sub 300 Euro when I saw them about 2 or 3 years ago

The first and only time I had mine out shooting, I had it dump all the air out shortly after refilling. Searched AGN and found the remedy is actually in the owners manual, page 7 #2, disassemble the receiver back plate take out striker spring and buffer. Push down the striker to reset, then reassemble. Refilled and it held air, haven’t shot it since but it is holding air. Hope this helps
