    Cs4 Power supply

    There is a 220v/110v slider that needs to be in the right position. Make sure it is all the way to the 110v side

    Cs4 Power supply

    Did the outlet stop working? Troubleshoot 101. Are the wires connected securely? Did the power supply stop, or did the pump stop? Is it still not working (did you unplug, turn off, switch to a different wall socket and try again?) Did you try the pump directly off your car battery?

    Cs4 Power supply

    Battery booster won't help you. You need 25+ amps for feed the pump from 12 volt. Battery booster box or battery charger will not deliver the power you need. What do you mean "it went out?" Did the magic smoke come out? I have had the same power supply from CS3 and CS4 for over 5 years -...

    Extended GX-CS4 fills.

    ...or I can avoid another point of potential failure and more cost, and purge the water trap as explained. Yes a one way valve is an option, but why? The back pressure would come from the release of pressure at the purge and the premature opening of the bottle valve, hence why I let the...

    Extended GX-CS4 fills.

    I have no problem with purging while the motor is running. Usually, I will close the tank valve, then purge, close the purge valve and let the whip fill up to almost the tank pressure before I open the tank valve again. I feel 100% safe with that methodology. I believe firmly that the issue...

    Harpex

    Vevy pointed objects generally don't do well in aerodynamic performance. The unique way that pellets wobble...procession and they way pellets are subject to nutation... make the blunt shape more preferable than the sharp shape. The length of the pellets makes it look doubtful that they would...

    N/A Airgun Newb (Sort-of). Lots of Questions-Part1

    IMHO - you are wasting time and effort buying a 2-door car and expecting to transform it into a dump truck. Can it be done? Yes Can it be done well? No Can it be done easily? No Will it be worth the effort? NO - unless that is your focus with the hobby - making the improbable do the thing is...

    It has been an honor to serve. Last Friday I hung up the belt. On to the next chapter. [ATTACH]

    Is there not an easier way to be "approved" to post in the classifieds?

    This right here is the reason I will never trade with people like the quoted. AGN is NOT a commerce sight nor is it a Craigs list for airgun stuff. It is a discussion forum. The classified section list at the bottom of the Forum list for a reason - it is an add-on feature that is to benefit...

    Hatsan Should I modify a new pcp air rifle and if so which one?

    You need to be 100% sure of your legality before you post a video of you doing some shady sheet... Just shooting pellets in many large cities will get you a trip downtown. Shooting an air rifle in ROCKVILLE MD and providing the police with a nice video to document your actions... sure seems...

    Hatsan Should I modify a new pcp air rifle and if so which one?

    IMHO - I would be VERY selective with advice provided for this young man. The sawed-off break barrel in an urban setting is likely to end in tragedy, or worse. Moreover, the respect needed to SAFELY deal with PCP pressures is sadly not present with him (yet). I see shades of Conner Hollifield...

    N/A Overkill on small game

    In my simple mind, it's a matter of energy INTO the right part of the target makes the kill, every bit of energy that passes through the target (and/or passes through a non-vital area) is not needed. Getting a decent trajectory and a manageable time to target is the other side of the same coin...

    Kral Arms Kral parts in stock (at last) at Bagnall Kirkwood - UK

    The Tormenta is really good for my use. I have not changed anything on the rifle (a first for me). I am sure that the Tormenta has room to improve, but I am not looking for that last 5% of perfection. The rifle is accurate and reasonably efficient. I get 4 magazines from a full load of air...

    Kral Arms Kral parts in stock (at last) at Bagnall Kirkwood - UK

    My experience is that after 50k shots, a part wore out partly because I hot rodded to 42+ FPE and set a hair trigger. I now have a new part and the gun is shooting better than ever, at about half the FPE and twice the air number of shots available that at full power. I bought a Reximex...
