So you're saying harder than hand tight?

Yes, mine is brass. I guess I'm springing for a steel one. I'm fighting with a leak with it right now; loses about 100 bar overnight. It would be a good time to replace that fitting anyway.

My Maxxim likes the Gamo Red Fire pellets the best, but they're too expensive for punching holes in paper. Any other Gamo pellet I tried ranged from 'mediocre' to 'totally sucked'. I do have a tin of the lightweight alloy pellets that I fire just to hear that supersonic *CRACK*.

I have a .177 Maxxim, Gen 2, and it has the same problem mentioned above; lots of feed failures. It shoots okay once you take the Swarm mechanism off. The scope that comes with it is kind of crappy, but I guess I shouldn't be upset considering the price.

Was out on vacation last week, where airguns don't go. When I got back, the gun was empty. After refilling it and letting it sit overnight I found out that it was losing about 10 bar an hour. I thought that my monkeying with the regulator knob or one of the gauges to let the air out was the...

Bad chronograph?

If I wanted to hunt with it, I'd spring for a smaller CF tank. A lot of that gun's weight is in that tank.

I bet they stuck a regulator gauge on at the factory by mistake. Manual says 250.

I'm just target shooting off a rest, so I don't mind the weight.

Photos. The gun, disassembled. Note: 'User Manuel'. The plenum and regulator, The brass knob is the regulator adjuster. The hammer spring adjuster. I had it as low as possible, but it's a strong spring. The gun, assembled and with moderator attached. After a little more messing...

Good idea with the shroud. I just guessed where it went and it looked close enough for me. The trigger as-is is fine for me. I filled it yesterday with no issues, with my normal Foster fill hose.

Will put some pics up after I zero it in and take a few shots.

I decided to go ahead and buy a Rainson Edge X from Ares Tactical. I purchased the 'Dr. Russ Hunting Special', in synthetic. I haven't had a chance to shoot it much beyond some chrono testing, so this is kind of between an unboxing and a real review. What came in the box: The gun, set up for...

I guess the Saber Tactical rail replacement is a standard picatinny. The width is the same as the old Avenger rail. Installing the Buck Rail conversion seemed to move things around enough to require re-zeroing the gun.

My Avenger has that same problem - I need to raise the rear ring somehow. Changing the stock from plastic to wood to Buck Rail and back to wood didn't help. The casting looked okay, but was obviously a little out of whack. I changed from the factory rail to a Saber Tactical picatinny rail...
