PICTURES of tanks are essential to get best advice. In your operational steps you forgot CLOSE TANK VALVE before "open high side bleed valve". You might want to have a one way check valve on your tank fill adapter to keep any air in tank from escaping. That way you COULD open bleed valve when...

Sharp shinned Hawks are generally SMALLER than Coopers (not much bigger than a blue Jay or mourning dove). They have a squared off tail compared to a Cooper's more rounded off tail. On the fly they're pretty hard to tell apart but the tail will tell the tale :unsure: . We've had BOTH nest in...

Saw an FX Royale 500 (.25) on classifieds yesterday. Can't ask for a simpler, trouble free, low maintenance & ACCURATE pellet rifle. Most new guys don't even know they exist. FANTASTIC guns! You'll NEVER hear owners complain about them not being accurate or too complicated.

Derrick (zx10wall) is a great guy to ask about your gun. If you'd be more specific about the problem you'll get better answers. "It leaks when I try to fill it" doesn't reveal a whole lot.

Can't help with your problem but just wanted to say Welcome aboard. Tell us about you. You'll probably get some answers here shortly. Good luck.

Nice Mike! I kinda figured you for a workplace like that. I'm still trying to convince the wife that it's perfectly NORMAL for a guy to bolt a Vise & bench grinder to the top of a clothes dryer!:p

Sorry, took a quick glance at your bio & thought it said So Cal. Guess the wife is right when she tells me I SCAN vs READ!

That's beautiful! You're own enchanted forest, bridge & waterways. Where are you in So.Cal., generally speaking? Our own (sort of, we rent) backyard in Oceanside has brought us some great & unexpected wildlife moments watching raptors nest & fledge in trees behind our property. It's small, sweet...

Why YES, it is!

Yes, you're letting gravity do its thing by keeping more moisture at bottom of filter housing & not along the side.(y)

It would be more efficient to mount your filter VERTICALLY rather than horizontally.

There's a Royale 500 (.25) w/laminate stock on classifieds. Very different from the guns you are looking at but one of the finest straight out of the box pellet shooters ever made. We Owners know what a superb platform this is and are reluctant to let them go. Check it out (at least). Mine is...

Not familiar with the Hammer but I would strongly suggest NOT using JB Weld for the shroud problem! I'm sure there are other more correct & appropriate ways to fix that. Reach out here on the forum for help.

Have you looked guns KNOWN for accuracy, robustness, low to no problems like Taipans or Kalibrgun? I understand how overwhelming the choices can be & I wish you luck. I always hope for "1st timers" to have the most rewarding, least frustrating 1st experience. Imho, TRACK RECORD of a gun's owner...

WOW! Looks like you're set up to make costumes for the LGBTQ parade (if you get tired of tying flies)
