The quick set trigger is certainly a misnomer. Having to move tiny screws and then fiddling with them to get the proper tension, every time you make a change, is not quick at all. I wonder how the M3 trigger was adjusted? I have a trigger pull meter and trying to adjust this trigger is a...

I've managed to round off the regulator screw on my gun. It's hard to believe FX made this adjustment screw out of brass. Hardened hex keys don't treat brass kindly! I've been using a ball nosed hex screw driver to adjust it. I have to avoid the trigger when adjusting so the driver is always...

Accurate was a poor choice of words. They agree so there are inaccurate to the same degree. What I was looking for was in the nature of what bcchannell posted about temperature/pressure loss over time. My pressure difference from immediately after a fill to about 3 hours later is about 20 bar.

I bought this one from Walmart. I've used it over 50 times. I get very little water out of it when I purge the tank and the filter is always dry. I put a few drops of oil in it every 10 fills or so.

Thanks for that. My compressor has a temp gauge. Is that the cyl temp? Do you leave your compressor connected to the gun during cool down? Is that how you determine "rt of 72F"? Is there a formula to use to calculate how you got from 250 to 233 bar? Thanks again

Vana2, What guages are you speaking of? My M4 has two gauges, the tank pressure and the regulator pressure. My compressor's gauge and the gun's tank gauge agree with each other when filling. This indicates to me that both gauges are accurate. LOL, I'm the exact opposite when it comes to...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to get a can.

How often do you clean your barrel? I swab mine out every 2-3 fills. No problems with low FPS for the first few rounds.

Greetings, Because of physics and the gas laws, there will always be pressure differences just after a fill... hot air cooling down and all that. I'm wondering what the typical air pressure difference is after a fill? I have an Impact M4 Sniper. How long does your gauge take to normalize...

Hey Trucker, It is leaking a lot less now. It has lost 23 bar in the last 9 hours - filled to 263, now at 240 bar. It was losing about 90 bar in that time period before. I may need to tighten it a bit more. Now I'm wondering what is the typical air loss after a fill for an M4? Or possibly I...

Thanks for the reply. As it turned out, i didn't need to remove the bottle. I just had to bear down on the crescent wrench I was using and the gauge turned even under system pressure.

My main tank gauge is leaking air. I can see bubbles at the threads when I put alcohol on it after a fill. Air-Gun Depot suggested tightening it up. I took off the plastic cover that surrounds the gauge to expose the flats for a wrench to tighten it. I tried to tighten it but the air pressure...

I like your trap. It's similar to the one's we used for our high school rifle team - .22lr @ 50'. We had heavy steel plates (I think they were 3/8") resting on wood frames and a sand pit for the trap. I think the plates were sitting at a 45 degree angle and there was never any spatter lead...

There's a saying: "You get 80% of the answer in 20% of the time it takes to get to 100% of the answer". You can waste a lot of time trying to answer the last 20%. I've gone as far as I want to with this pellet. I've shot over 2k rounds getting this tune. I'm not that concerned with spread -...

Here's my final tune... Pellet: JSB Jumbo 15.89gr 30 round sample Regulator: 98 Micro 2+22 Valve 5+5 FPS low/avg/high: 893/911/926 with 19 of 30 rounds between 909-917 Air usage: 1.875 rounds/bar, ~280+ rounds per tank Very happy with projectile energy, spot on accuracy and low air usage...
