    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    It looks much more similar to the eBay one in this photo than I'm the photos on the Donny website represent.

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    Can't argue with that. I shied away from that one because the Donny design seems shorter and I was concerned for keeping things in alignment. The longer design gave me more confidence that it wouldn't skew. But if the Donny's working, like I said, can't argue with that.

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    I had a guy make me one, it wasn't ever very elegant but got the job done. I recently found one on eBay that I really like, fits snuggly and goes with the overall aesthetic of the USFT, to my eye...

    @woogie_man, What caliber did you get and what's your intended use for the gun?

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    Mine came from Tim with the "striptease" T shaped air stripper. So obnoxious to shoot with that thing on there! Mine didn't last long before I removed it. It was held on with some sort of epoxy-heat gun broke the bond and it came right off. Left a sort of gummy residue that I needed to clean...

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    I ordered mine with an extra barrel back in 2017-18 when I first got it. That extra barrel is a .22. I experimented with it but it's been years now. 28fpe is coming to mind, and that required lots more hammer weight, via bolts threaded into the hammer.

    Just remembered about these little gems too... https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/jsb-22-20-83-bc-and-first-impressions.1314808/ Another possible shining star in the 50fpe hard cap.

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    Interesting that this thread got revived right now as I've got a .20 barrel being delivered tomorrow that I'm going to fit to my USFT. The plan being to cut the barrel back so barrel+moderator end at the airtube. Funny thing is that I owned this barrel once before. It was in the Air Force...

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    As far as I know, just shifts in how they were made. Remember that the USFT is essentially bespoke, almost handmade in some regards, and the first batch WAS truly handmade. From what I can gather, they were mostly made in small machining batches. Kinda like Timmy Mac would get enough preorders...

    Events Ultimate Field Target match at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club on 11/23/24

    My scheming was more for generally/future matches as I have prior commitments for this weekend too. On further ponderings...i remembered that the previous barrel on my Vet Long was a different rifling profile and does pretty well with the .22 Monster RDs @ 890, which would make it just under...

    what causes this to pellets/slugs? casting?

    Just a guess but almost looks like your cleaning agent is causing corrosion. They look pitted, like rust can do. Or even the effect strong acids can have on materials susceptible to a particular acid.

    For anybody local, Ben told me he'll be working on the course, painting targets etc on Thursday and Friday afternoon (the next two days) there at PRGC. After about 330. He could sure use any and all help.

    Events Ultimate Field Target match at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club on 11/23/24

    Should be a fun match. This begs the question....what are you two gonna shoot? I've been mentally going through my options for the new UFT format and of course want to shoot the 72 shot match if I'm driving that far to attend....but my "best" long range pellet flinger is just shy of 2 foot...

    Events Ultimate Field Target match at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club on 11/23/24

    Big news for UFT @ PRGC! This month will be the first of Ben's new format. He has been working hard and added a third target to each lane, and restructured to allow a broader range of airguns to be competitive. It seems more complicated than it really is but I'll take a stab at making it...

    Help, shoebox compressors issues

    I've been in on these in the past too. Not thin skinned, just don't like misinformation. To illustrate....can anyone here help me fix a leak in my Daystate Impact? Also, my FX Marauder has a gritty cocking bolt right now-anybody got any ideas?

    FX Panther no-hype review and tests

    You said "I can't stand it any longer" and quoted something I said almost two years ago. Your opening line of resurrecting this discussion is why I asked if it's been eating you alive for almost two years. As to your other retort..... I JUST quoted where FX said .22 rimfire guys can shoot the...

    2024 TEXtreme Field Target STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS Match Announcement

    Yep, that sounds a whole lot like every field target match I've ever shot. Working out and KNOWING where your gun shoots at x yards beforehand being an unfair advantage is a strange concept to me.

    2024 TEXtreme Field Target STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS Match Announcement

    Help me understand your view Scott....if he shoots at paper at home at those distances it's practice, but if he shoots at field targets at home at those distances it's unfair advantage? Now, if Ron only sent the distances of the targets to Rudy before hand....but Ron said he posts them...
