That's super interesting and thanks for hunting up that thread.

A printed part with pins or protrusions for advancing the cylinder is likely to fail. But I think one could instead use a metal pin as an insert to the print that would probably be strong enough, at least for a while. If this were my problem, I'd model the cylinder as best I could, using what's left of the cylinder. Then I'd add the pins in plastic for a test. They probably would survive a couple of cycles. If it works, then rework the 3d model to have metal pins. To reduce the likelihood of deforming the plastic, I'd make the diameter of the pin bigger inside the part, than the outside. This will reduce the local force on the plastic, by spreading it over a larger diameter. Even making the pin 20% greater diameter (in the part) would help a lot, as the surface area increases by pi*d*length.

Just a quick update on this. I realized that my leaking had started after the regulator replacement. I also had taken the regulator out a few times. At no point did I ever grease that sealing O-ring. I pulled the reg and used the Super Lube silicone grease on the O-ring and the overnite pressure check shows a drop in pressure that is so small as to maybe be my imagination. So I guess the phrase is:

See O-ring, grease O-ring.

Pretty sure umarex has an adapter coming out soon they just released at shot show.

I believe that I saw the same thing, somewhere, probably the Umarex catalog. The catalog can be viewed as a PDF on Hard Air Magazines website.

Yup! Page five.

My friends place are turning into the little decommissioned farm of horrors for mice.

Last night he got another one with the ancient guess and shoot NV scope, and got a head shot.

And early today after sunrise he got another one.

The way he is going i will have to go shoot my pests on the mean streets of Denmark.

Get a Silent Thunder Ordnance Falx or Pugio.

I have both, the Falx works best for higher power setups like my DRS Pro 25 700 at 85 ftlbs.

Falx — Silent Thunder Ordnance

The Falx carries a dimensional envelope of 40x170mm, ~180 grams, with a semi-modular serviceable aluminum-tube design. The same proven principles of air stripping, flow delaying, and sound absorption remain but now in an even more advanced form. This brings improved manufacturability, reducing price

The Pugio works great on my DRS 22 700 at 70+ ftlbs.

Pugio — Silent Thunder Ordnance

The Pugio carries a dimensional envelope of 40x100mm and a mass of only 82 grams (2.9oz). Building on the Falx, Sarissa, and Accipiter the Pugio is super compact and light with outstanding performance for it’s size. Packed into this tiny package is all the same proven principles but shrunk down with

STO Falx is actually quiet, unlike Donny’s.

You are correct. The only issue is Chinese counterfits and Seconds. When you buy from stateside or european company they have their own inspection and Insurance. When you buy from China from random Aliexpress seller you can be getting seconds or counterfits. We had an experience right before covid with Plastic parts from a reputable Chinese subsidiary of an American company that provided plastic parts with fake certifications of material (purchasing failure on their part). The plastic was missing a critical chemical componenet and when parts were assembled in the states the off gassing of the adhesive made the parts crack. Back tracing showed the material was purchased on some secondary market with fake certification. Massive losses and delays. Everyone gets to gauge their own risks. My customer chose the supplier and sustained a loss. Was it worth based on what they saved for the 10 years prior, probably yes. Will they do it moving forward, probably not. Did the American owner of the Chinese supplier compensate my customer to at least some degree, yes.

I think I shot my wad on tanks . Jeez now the compressors only run maybe twice a week.
Three beautiful shiny new Chinese bottles. Tuxing but I think they’re the same as ahh
what is it Acecare or something. Yep 3, 6.8, 9 and if I get the urge probably a 12 liter.
I couldn’t imagine being scared enough to have to buy the same thing but 5 times the price.
Oh I forgot my first gun tank for the zelos, yup again Tuxing 580 cc.
Ohhh yeah one more thing I go a little over on the max fills….
Im just ball busting here except the part of paying 5x… haaa !

I would like to hunt prairie dogs and squirrels, maybe some coyotes with a second gun. If I could shoot 100 yards that would be great. I want it an Avenge X in 25 cal, JT cudamax or a Daystate. I know I don’t have enough for FX platforms.

don't get sucked into the FX hype fanboy club, lots of other brands out there that perform just as well

Update: Replaced the "transfer hose" and holding 100 bar of air. Will monitor and if pressure holds up at 250 bar, I will consider this problem solved.

jccams · Feb 5, 2025

This set-up works pretty good for me.

Slice · Feb 5, 2025

Ok found the grub screws under the action, one released the spring and ball so re assembled. Removed the valve and applied some 1000 grit sand paper to the Teflon section while spinning in the drill.
Leak seems to be gone now.

iFish · Feb 6, 2025

You will always find a solution if you never stop looking.

willy · Feb 5, 2025

Purchased U2 slugger for 100+ yard problem neighborhood crows since Wildcat MK3 Sniper .30, and JSB 44.75s, had scared 50 yard, and under, shots away. Subsequent to that, hurricane force winds took down favorite crow hangout trees at 100+ yards, so moot point. Recently switched back from slugs to JSB 44.75s since U2 shoots well @ 50 yards and pushes out 100fps faster than Wildcat. My Vulcan 3 700mm .30 doesn't do pellets but shoots 59-61.5 slugs as well as U2 so keep magazine filled with them. WM

I think you are better off with a short microbore whip with quick disconnects at 1/3 the cost and is going to last you a lot longer without breaking
not going to bleed off as much on fills and you can have your GW tank at 4500-4700 psi and still use all the air

smythsg · Feb 4, 2025

Mine did very well with Apolo Air Boss Domed 18 gn pellets.

Here’s a photo of the mod I made to the grip for better left hand shooting. May not look great but it sure fits better. Charles

Yeah, I am pretty happy to hit a 2" gong @ 200 consistently with my Kidd Supergrade.

Not saying .5" @ 200 is impossible with a PCP but I would need to see it to believe it.

dgeesaman · Feb 5, 2025

I had decent success with polymags and .22 metalmags out to 50y. I had no reason to push them further. They certainly punch into hide better than lead round heads.
