What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

I seem to have purchased an Air Venturi Avenger .25. I threw a low ball bid on GunBroker and when I looked i ended up paying $2 less than my max bid. So someone creeped up but failed.

Was bidding on a TalonP also, some douchecanoe kept creeping up to my max bid and reseting the 15 minute clock. Every 10 minutes or so Mr. Douchie would drop another bid just a few dollars more. Almost 2 hours later he finally crept over my max bid. What a moron, just bid your max and get the damn auction over.

Ordered 10 tins of these:

These are available in EuropeAirguns.com, Airgunheaven.com and luchtbuks.com. I think that last 2 of vendors are actually the same.
Maybe those MKII are available somewhere else also.

With the same order comes one Huggett Belita 1/2 UNF Female (4,5mm / .177) moderator.

I not yet tried the MK2 model.

Shooting my friends pistol yesterday i am entertaining the idea of getting one of those this year, but not a done deal yet.
Pending UK shot show and IWA might throw a spanner in the gearbox, never the less come summer and i have to buy something, CUZ as usual this year i have been a good boy too and so deserve a reward.
 
I got a Zelos from Amazon, came in today. I've been waiting to see one on sale and Amazon had it for $423.50; I see today it's back up to $589.55.
I ordered a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 from Optics Planet on sale for $301.

This will probably be the closest to a high end airgun I'll get with my budget, I hope it performs like the reviewers say.

I got new stuff! :p

Ordered 360cc, 300bar, CF bottle for my AGT Vulcan 3. To replace FX 400cc, 230bar Aluminum bottle.
My V3 is modded to take FX bottles with valve.
Also ordered FX bottle valve for that 360cc bottle. Why only 360cc? Cos 480cc bottle with FX valving moves bottle forward past the muzzle end and it looks ugly in that way. With 360cc bottle V3 will remain factory look.
With the FX bottle valve order comes new FX slug liner in .177, 600mm, 1:16 TR. For my Dreamline. And some Caldwell shooting bags.

Gotcha, well, for some reason. Those are not an option here in the states.
In Europe they have been available maybe a month or so. And only in few places. All the big vendors (Krale, Huma, Balistas, Mundilar Airguns, etc.) do not have them.
But ask Predator Pellet, maybe they know when these are coming to USA.

In my Two i cant really tell a difference between the standard 10 gr KO slugs and the 10 gr KO MK3 slugs, it also seem to be the same in my friends Snowpeak M30, this at 55 M but also 120 M.
I will have to try a couple tins of the MK2 just so see, i do like things in a little skirt, so maybe that will work for me in slugs too.

My FX Maverick and its new 600 mm standart barrel, it will absolutely NOT shoot the MK3 slugs, i have not yet tried 13 that worked just fine in my 700 mm standard barrel, so i assume they will work in a 600 mm barrel too,,,,,, or i have yet again lost out in the barrel lottery.
As it is now i will have to try hades pellets in the maverick as i was hoping it would be my moderate / low power pest smacker so it could permanently wear my NV scope.
 
I remember when $200 got twice this many pellets. Not that long ago...View attachment 536321
From the Pellet Shop fast shipping and UPS didn't have them long enough to damage them :)
I have over 20 tins of those JTS and they work great.

Other than the 0.2 gr difference, I read the AEA are identical to the JTS and likely built in the same factory......Any truth to that claim, are they identical?
 
Haven’t seen these before, the cap acts like a ported compensator or am I way off?
I don't know the exact mechanics of compensators, but this diverts a lot of the excess air to the read reducing noise, excess air, and vibration. My akela .22 with this kit to this day is probably the quietest unmodderated air rifle I ever owned.
