    Other Just how much must I pay for "Accuracy" in a PCP gun?

    Here's a link to the file we used for that "ring" I mentioned.... https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/benjamin-marauder-accurizer

    Other Just how much must I pay for "Accuracy" in a PCP gun?

    Now that's the kind of stuff that just messes with my head! ;) All the airguns I have are "entry level", and every once in a while each of them will group like that. The issue is shooting like that consistently and dependably. Example: It's that time of year where it's getting warmer (as...

    Brand new CS4-i won't pump beyond 1800psi

    Well, I tried that, and it seems to have worked. Dead headed it to 4500psi TWICE, using the same procedure. However, overall, this compressor pumps way slower than my Hong Yeng. I have them side by side and figured that if either went down, the other would be there... just in case. ;)

    Brand new CS4-i won't pump beyond 1800psi

    When it stalls, everything continues to run, and all seems as normal, but it simply doesn't pump past the 1800psi mark. I just happened to have my hand on the hose when I first noticed and felt a slight "bump" or "stutter" in the hose. I checked for leaks, didn't find any. I haven't pulled the...

    😊 Thanks for the kind words about my Knives. I’m being a stalker on the classifieds myself! I fell in love with the BSA R10 SE. Anyway, you mentioned a barrel band for your Marauder… if you have friends or family that have a 3D printer, you can download a ready to go file off the internet...

    Brand new CS4-i won't pump beyond 1800psi

    Thank you! I’ll take a look and see. I’ve not touched the grease cup…. But who knows how many times it was rolled or flipped around during delivery.

    You folks have set me on a new course. I have looked and looked..... and finally fallen in LOVE! It's older, more "classic" than "sassy".... and I just can't get it outta my head! I've searched through the forums and read whatever I can find on it. The only thing I've heard repeated on the...

    Brand new CS4-i won't pump beyond 1800psi

    Need the Groups help. I have a brand new CS4-i that I setup, dead head tested to 4500psi, and have used to fill guns 3x. Today I hooked it up to my Marauder... and once it reached 1800psi, I felt a slight "bump" in the hose, and it wouldn't pump past that point. There's really not much of a...

    Many Thanks to everyone who responded with their knowledge and insights! I've learned a lot! Moreso, I'm in the process of revisiting my first PCP.... The Marauder. Now that I have the FX chrony, I think I can wrap my head around what folks are/were talking about with "shot curves", etc. I...

    Taipan Baptized the new Taipan Vet 2 today

    Congrats on the new gun! Since my cost/accuarcy thread, and based on suggestions there, I've been looking at the Vetran 2. I still like the more traditional style guns, but now realize that I might just have to give up that part of the equation to get the accuracy I want.

    Hatsan Air fill probe mod?

    I leave the probes in all of my guns.....I solved the problem of losing the probe(s) by cutting a "rubber band" (about a 1 1/4" or so wide section) out of a bicycle inner tube. I put it over the air tube, and then over the probe. Keeps stuff out and the probe is always there when fill time comes.

    Other Just how much must I pay for "Accuracy" in a PCP gun?

    Being in Montana's winds is one of the reasons my favorite power gun is a 6.5X55 Swede... the BC is off the charts, and being able to load/shoot bullets weights from 120gr for Antelope (We call them "Prairie Maggots") to 140gr for Deer/Elk/Sheep/Moose, they "buck" the wind about as well as...

    I actually have the Urban on my "wishlist" at Pyramid. You're gonna have to excuse this... but I need clarification on your fixes... What is "Dang Pickle"? And I assume that "TP" is Transfer Port? Funny you mentioned removing the barrel band.... I just put a replacment/One that holds both...

    I've looked and looked at the Zelos... and I just can't like it. Brings far too many skeletons outta the closet for me. ;)

    -"if you want an airgun thats going to compare well with a decent rimfire you're going to end up paying $1200 or more for it." I'm beginning to realize that harsh reality. -"I also might lower my expectations." That's a tough one. I'm still having trouble NOT comparing airguns to powder...
