    Another of those... please help me decide on a air rifle.

    OP states he's wanted PCP for a long time, just think he should go for it, won't be shocked if he admits to kicking himself for waiting. WM

    Scratch that PCP itch, it won't go away. Very rewarding and very addictive, so be warned. WM

    Yong Heng (and other) Leaks?

    Like a dummy, removed Yong Heng high-pressure section when psi building times increased, all the while was same problem you described. Picked these up as spares. WM

    Beeman Ordering things for a rebuild, new to the sport...which lubricants etc should i add to my cart. thank you

    Heavyweight silicone oil used for treadmill exercise machine maintenance and plumber's silicone grease are ideal for "O" rings, petroleum-based products are not. Silicone isn't best for lubricating where "O" rings aren't involved, so I'd search out YouTube pistol-specific rebuild videos for...

    Are all oilless PCP pumps on amazon the same?

    Agreed, oil-less, waterless, multi-power, high-speed-fan only cooled rectangular box quick-fill compressors are alike. Expected lifetime is 12-18 months with limited rebuild success. Manufacturers support, "discard, buy another," versus, "rebuild/repair." The GX-CS compressor series differs...

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

    Compressor to end of fill whip sounds good, as long as able to reach and hold 4500psi with deadhead plug. Hookup to, and/or, Marauder itself would be my next point of investigation. Filling another gun with CS4, or Marauder with Yong Heng, should help to narrow problem. The low gearing, slow...

    New guy needing advice/ guidance....

    Enjoy owning several FX airguns but switched to AGT for simpler, more robust designs, better value. Purchased these two at end of 2022, both .30 700mm, after shooting side-by-side, Uragan 2 gets the nod. Smoother, quieter operation with balanced valve technology lessening ammo fussiness, I've...

    AEA Question from a noob re: M 50 and/or air compressor

    These compressors work, however, they've fallen out of favor due to a 12-18 month lifespan and limited rebuilding success. As charlie99 said, best way to test compressor is to deadhead plug (pictured) end of fill whip (hose) and pressurize system. A good compressor builds and holds pressure...

    New guy needing advice/ guidance....

    Greetings, glad you're here. Diehard Yong Heng fan myself but GX-CS compressors have many loyal supporters. Not sure of price difference but GX-CS4 adds a water cooling component which might not be needed right now, just don't want to be kicking yourself in future if acquiring a 4500psi SCBA...

    N/A Help on selecting first air rifle

    Airgun sound-reducing "shroud" technology utilizes a tube surrounded barrel with air stripper/baffles between end of barrel and end of shroud to redirect air back into this space. Less air exiting airgun means less noise. Taipan Veterans, AGT's Uragan 2/3 and Vulcan 3 all use large shrouds to...

    Question for the backyard plinkers

    I masking tape white paper with dime-size circles drawn using electrical tape roll center and magic marker to cardboard. Using two long screws at top of backstop, I paper punch slots in cardboard to fit over flat screw tops. I recycle white sections of junk mail to repair target until...
