Just to update the 30.86 H&N pellets shot very well from my M3. They shot just as well as the fx 33.95 and the jsb mk1 33.95. I didn’t think to get any pics but they were solid performers at 47-48 yards. It was only a little bit of testing off a not terribly stable platform (bi pod off my car trunk with no rear bag or support ) but initially it seems the fx pellets were a little better than the jsb. Nice that the cheapest pellets shot awesome. I have to play around with everything a little more. I tuned my gun up for heavies before they came in using hades pellets guessing at the speed I would need out of those for the heavier projectiles. Wasn’t perfect as the tune is pushing the heavies 870. Will probably push a little more out of them but they did well at that speed. When I shot the 30.86 I dialed the gun back a bit to sling those in the mid 880-900. Seems a good spot for them. I was happy to see them shoot well at 6.3 cents a piece. Can’t beat that.

FX Crown setup.
.177
FX Pellet 12.5 gr
REG Pressure 114 - 115 Bar
Power wheel setting 1,5,10,15,20,23
Bottle pressure 250 Bar
There may be a slight variability in the testing as it was conducted over several days.
The test was standard deviation of Feet per second between a stock regulator, post regulator polish and post HUMA-Air gen 3 regulator install.

Sorry to play off this thread, but were you successful getting the first nut of the air chamber out? Anyone out there please provide tips. I'm using the square end special tool and have wd 40 in all night but not budging. Have not attempted a vice yet, just trying by hand.

Never whatever you do use that calculator for BC. It is based on the now very old constant Cd reference, which is totally wrong at speeds much above 800 ft/sec. There are plenty of more up-to-date calculators with numerous pellet specific drag laws, such as this one here. https://gpc.fotosoft.co.uk/EasyBC.html

Good to know! Thanks for the link

Hello all,

I put a .177 carbine barrel on my Ghost .25 hp. I am looking to set it up for <20fpe HFT.

I am planning to shoot JSB 10.3’s at 890-915fps and was hoping you would share your reg and powerwheel sittings.

Also looking for tips to lighten the trigger. I’ve already adjusted the sear, travel and weight but am considering changing springs if you think that will help.

Thank you for all the info I’ve already found on the site. I am looking forward to hearing more about my specific setup.

Contact Derrick Wall at Tenacious Airguns. He is working on mine as i type. make sure you use a moderator or something to lengthen the barrel a wee bit so you don't shoot the end of your finger off.

I usually give them a pass as well. But this one had one of my bantam chickens in its mouth. It’s a 22 akela. I’ve been eye balling the 177 tho

The impact MK 2 .177 with 700 mm barrel shooting ZAN 13 grain slugs at 975 is truly awesome!
13 grain zans over 900 fps create a mini explosion in starlings skunks, and even raccoons. I’ve never seen anything like it with a pellet gun.

In the last month, I shot multiple Starlings out to 175, 4 skunks and one raccoon between 30 and 60 yards, and all humane kills. I haven’t measured shot count but it’s probably around 150 per fill. I’m thinking about dialing it back to about 930 fps to increase shot count… as I don’t need the extra power.

I highly recommend the 700mm 177 slug barrel!

What is your reg pressure for 177 slug ? and the transferport size 3mm or 4 ? Thank you

Looks to good to be a field rifle. Nice that the receiver dovetail is long enough for
scope mounting. A nice compact Bug Buster would look good on it. Love to see
a good review of it. The rating of 850 fps in .22cal ( probably with very light pellets )
is nothing to snicker at.

.20calguy · Sep 16, 2023

Listen to it!
Then hear where that air is going.
I suspect that the exhaust valve was damaged.
If so you'll hear the air escape breach with the bolt open, or from the barrel with the bolt closed.
Let me know.

After 7 years of being in airguns, I have finally picked up my first RAW. Crazy because they have always been one of my top choice for looks and quality. I have mostly steered toward adjustability, so haven’t picked one up… until now.

After selling my Thomas earlier in the year because of a crazy job and not being able to shoot FT like I want and seeing no end in sight, I’m hoping that a recent job change is going to give me more free time. The RAW popped up and I knew I couldn’t let another one pass. This thing is a beauty too and has a lovely 2 stage, 3.5oz trigger. I’m going to have fun!

When I saw it was Rick, a well respected member and FT shooter, I knew I had nothing to be worried about. Quick conversation and two days later, I have TM1000 #5, yes #5, in my hands.

I wasn’t planning for this so fast, so now I need a HFT scope. I can’t even shoot it! I know what I’m looking for now.

I can’t wait to share more as the journey continues, but I was so happy, I had to share.

I just set both my TM1000’s up today, same scope same dope but different clothes- they perform flawlessly - highly recommend a motorhead tune for maximum performance! Just because it’s a Raw doesn’t mean it has to be heavy.

Northwoods22 · Sep 15, 2023

I've had the barrel weight off of my 753S and it's like Bam86 described it. There's a flat on the underside of the barrel and when you snug up the two hex screws the weight self-aligns with the dovetail for the front sight at top dead center. Be sure to use thread lock, as those two screws tend to loosen up with use. The 753/853 rifles are great shooting guns, and easy to work on.

If you are referring to the Revere in .177, I would also wonder why it is setup that way. It would make sense if the power was at least 18 ft-lbs or it was in a different stock. Maybe thats the reason why it's in the used section.

Guessing it’s set up for WRARB Light Varmint class which has 12 fpe limit. Special niche item for sure.

Congratulations on it's first squirrel and nice shot, video & pic!

I own both the 97 and the TX.

I know there are going to be die hard 97 defenders.

But after working on my TX vs my 97... no contest. TX was the easiest gun to work on. Changing breech seals, piston seals, main springs, and spring guides were a breeze. Accuracy about the same.

Bottom line if you like the feel of the 97, the easier loading, the no click click click of the bear trap and you are mechanically competent to work on the 97 or can send it to a tuner to be fixed or make changes. Cos you know those breech seal, piston seal and springs don't last forever. Then buy the 97, it is relatively cheaper.

Breech seals on a 97 are easy to change out, just reach in with some hemostats and pull it out. Put in a new seal flat side down, rounded side is toward the breach, and use a 10mm socket to seat it down, done.

Two years of searching and disappointment I finally got my HW98 .20
Approximately July 20 I saw the 98 at AOA. Almost had a heart attack. I tried buying from them before, no dice, because I live in Canada. They want nothing to do with the paper work involved. So I called my man Wes who is a dealer and can buy from them. For 3 days I get a voice mail he’s busy. I’m watching that gun 3-4 times daily with panic. I posted here “Where’s Wes” and find out he’s in Scotland. Had to change my depends. He’s gone another 1 1/2 weeks.
‘I’m watching that gun daily like I owned it. On Aug 7 a member jccams blew my cover, announcing there’s a 98 at AOA. Luckily I read it shortly after he posted it. Another Depends, major load. What to do? I immediatly called I think Kirk at AOA. Told him of my dilemma and asked if I paid for it Wes would contact them when he gets back. Kirk was A1 and saved the day, awesome customer service!
I have to thank Kirk and Wes at Airgunarcheryfun for making this work.
This is the new 98. View attachment 388893Already for the bench.View attachment 388891I picked up this scope weeks ago.View attachment 388892To me this is the ultimate.View attachment 388894Already a place for it. Just finished my coffee after supper. I’m going to shoot this baby on the range. Crow

nice rifle, I am glad you were able to add it to your collection.

Great news. Especially if Jim's taste in food is better than his taste in shooting buddies.

That is apparently, perhaps, maybe, OBVIOUSLY the case!

igolfat8 · Sep 14, 2023

Thanks for the update Lou... BUT … your diligence knocked me out of the top 10. Waaaaahhhhhhh

Mike should hold his head up high seeing his Thomas rifles are populating the majority of the top 10 places. Congrats to all of the shooters who moved up in the standings.

Bigragu · Sep 15, 2023

Contact AEAC Steve and ask him if he’s gonna sell his impact after he’s done testing it for various tunes, and if so, buy it, because based on his tuning tests, his impact has never seen a slow first shot or two, three or four. It’s spot on every time

oledawg · Sep 14, 2023

I have an Aztec Emerald 5.5-25 x 50 and I’m looking for a zoom lever.

Thanks
