What did you do airgun related today.

Pulling weeds and doing yard work in the front of the house…..
It is airgun related because I am waiting for the UPS to deliver my dream gun. And I am going to stand outside till it arrives.

I know the feeling, dont forget the pictures

This is a dream rifle.

HFT 500
Tuned close to 18fpe with JSB's heavy 10.34 at 870fps
Lothar Walther match barrel with carbon fiber sleeve.
Match trigger around 6 ounces
Updated Gehman butt pad
Custom hamster
Professionally adapted muzzle

Upgraded 300 bar air cylinder with quick fill probe and gauge

Huma regulator installed and extra gauge so now you can see both regulated pressure and tank pressure.

This rifle was tuned by Will Piatt to 18 fpe, one of a kind and accurate as just a professionally tuned rifle can be, .75inches at 55 yards.

75 shots per fill and 3 fps extreme spread.

I can’t wait to get shooting

Top shelf right there

Actually got out and shot a few rifles. Was able to get the RAW shooting 34 grain slugs at 850fps and shooting great groups. Good enough groups that I was able to smoke a dove at 98 yards, and a pigeon at 88 yards...off the back of a Tonto cover on my truck.

After a tandem bicycle ride with my wife… Shot some groups and plinked at 25, 40 and 50 yards with three of my BRKs… Definitely a sweet day.

I need a flat surface to mak contact with my bench rest.
I was using just the arca rail on it's own, but i found an inexpensive clamp to go on the Arca
I modified it slghtly..cut off the long stem for a nylon locking nut
The nut will act as a stop, and the contact with the rest is greatly improved.
would have liked the clamp to glide more on the front rest surface, but it is stable

Yesterday and today I cut the weeds and brush out to 50 yards where my old range used to exist.

Now it's time to set up targets.

Shifted my mags from the cup holders to underneath my dash blard so they dont get damage with direct florida sun light Also debating on listing the Fx Impact, but I wouldn't know what to replace it with.

Idk that I can justify that hahaha. I already have the notos covering the low power spectrum in .22, looking to get a compact .177 between the akela or xm1. If I sell the impact I'd want to replace it with another slug shooter in .30, or semi auto like gk1/k1

For that tiny package it definitely delivers. My notos is currently shooting 15.89 at 785fps and that's perfect atm plus getting about 130shots.

I finally got my Riding lawn mower running, after getting the engine and mower given back to me in a box full of parts from the service mechanic, I rebuilt the mower and engine, replaced all missing parts and finally after getting the last part in from UPS, I installed it and the engine fired right up and ran great, I guess I got it right.... Mowed both front and back lawns and now I can see the pesky Critters in the grass, they won't get away now, I'll sick the Notos and the Avenger on them or any of the Other AG's I have ready......

I put in a new more powerful IR flood light for my backyard. Since the camera exposes for the light received and adjusts it’s hard to tell, but it’s much brighter.

I also shot 68 more shots from my Notos.
And I washed 3 tins of pellets. Drying now in the Florida room.

looks to be a flying squirrel

Finished resealing my tech force 79, then cut the barrel 2" shorter and thread 1/2" unf for moderator. I bought this used and had so much issues, bent bolt, rusty barrel and bad crown. It was also marketed as a crosman 2240 when there was a BIG letters on the tube, Cold Hammered In North America ( CHINA ) lol. Now on to mods to raise the power up, only 6 fpe.

I did some shooting and compared ballistics of 10.3 and 13.4 gr pellets from 25-55y.

I also swaged some pellets using my Thor mold swaging die - until I broke the finishing punch. Boooooooooo
