    RTI RTI P1 (performance) leaking air only when cocking handle pulled back

    Hey guys - subject says it. This is a new one to me. I pull the handle back to load the next round and "hisssssss" I can hear air escaping. It's not dumping out - but it *is* most definitely losing air. I push the cocking arm fwd to load the next round - it's fine. Valve? I haven't dug...

    RTI RTI Dual Reg's (??)

    I keep seeing in posts on facebook ( yeah yeah - I know - consider the source . . . lol ) where guys appear to be talking like RTI has a dual reg setup now - kinda like how the FX's came out with theirs some years ago. I've quick searched here in these forums and out on the the Spanish based...

    Zans - wash and lube or not?

    So I've recently discovered that my .22 RTI P1 (w/newer RPB barrel) kinda likes the 30.5g zans. The barrel only being 600mm - it ain't tossin' them the fastest in the world @935'ish but - they are accurate and (for me anyway) they're giving me a nice "working flat range" for my typical pesting...

    RTI Prophet / Priest .177 slug shooters - are there any in here? ;-)

    Cutting to the chase - I have a 20" (510mm) .177 LW barrel in one of my prophets and it really likes jsb 13g ko's. I'm down to my last tin of them. I've heard / seen via youtube (and maybe in here?) that the zan's are supposed to be quite good. The Danish youtube guy (Viking Airgunner) - he...

    Airgun Technologies V3 700 .22 - tune coming along :) NSA 27.5's @985'ish

    I'm still dinking with this one on and off but am pretty happy with both the tune I've presently got on it and my strelok truing as well. I shot it for the first time in a couple of weeks out in my back yard yesterday and first thing I noticed was that I wasn't happy with where I had the scope...

    My .177 RTI Slugger is Back . . . ;)

    Because I apparently experienced a Pink Floyd'ish "Momentary Lapse of Reason" (lol) and took apart my perfectly good little .177 slugger to have a foray back into .22 land and MRD's . . . it's back - and it's back with a vengeance. :cool: ( @Vetmx - yeah - I built it back up - lol ) It's a...

    RTI P1 Performance, it's 1:32 LR barrel - "light" slugs - anyone had any luck? ( and why do I hate MRD's? )

    JSB MRD's in this gun. I'm trying to like them - I really am. But I'm not. Never have. I know - some (many?) of you swear by 'em. I just swear AT 'em. I've got tin's of 'em - LOTS of tins that I grabbed a year or two ago when they finally became available again after having gone off the...

    My longest chuckie yet - 170 yds

    This guy (well actually she was a she as it turned out) was *way* out in a field but I had confidence in the rifle as I've shot long with it before. Molly the dog and I were both there at the historical society's range as I was working on another gun sighting it in, dialing in a tune for .22...

    Family of woodchucks discovered - popped one and then . . . poof! The corpse disappeared (?)

    Hey there guys . . . readers digest - I got a call from a neighbor re: chuckie having setup residence underneath his workshop. Sure enough s/he's a biggun'! I wasn't able to get it (him/her) on that particular day - never re-appeared. I went back there today though and "whoa . . . ...

    I won a couple of bucks from a lottery ticket and it burned a hole in my pocket . . . (lol)

    . . . so I bought an Eaglevision "All in one – Muzzle Brake, Air Stripper & Harmonic Barrel Tuner" - this thing: https://eaglevisioncam.com/shop/muzzle-brakes-harmonic-barrel-tuner/all-in-one-muzzle-brake-air-stripper-harmonic-barrel-tuner3/?attribute_pa_muzzel-thread-size=1-2unf-x-20 It...

    Airgun Technologies Slowly but surely getting the V3 700 (.22) tuned

    With work and the weather ( frequently cold, windy and rainy lately ) it's been slow but I'm making some headway. I discovered some .216 NSA 27.5's that I (apparently) didn't have any luck with from some other gun so I figured I'd give them a try. Initial impressions from a week or two ago ( I...

    N/A Huma Regs -- can they handle > 250 bar?

    I've got a gun that can handle a 300 bar fill. I don't have a reg tester for the reg that it ships with -- I'm tuning it but . . . guessing with minor incremental changes -- you know - kind of a pia not to mention going through air bleeding it off between changes. I could slap a huma in it...

    Airgun Technologies New AGT magazines?

    I posted recently re: a new V3 700mm in .22 that I recently purchased. They come with two mags - 12 shots per for .22. I already had four of them for the smaller 500m V3 that I already own. Initially I didn't notice the new magazines that the new gun came with as both are same caliber - so I...

    Airgun Technologies New gun - .22 Vulcan 3 700mm / Synthetic Stock - Slugs - what are you guys running?

    Per the title of this thread - I just got my new gun yesterday (Friday 05 April) and did some very early testing with it today with the little bit of ammo I happen to have available. I bought it from Talon Tunes and asked Tony to tune it so that I could get 32 - 34 grain slugs flying out of it...

    Airgun Technologies First world problems (I "need" this new gun . . . ) lol (( 700mm V3 in .22 ))

    So the subject says it. ( lol ) I "need" another gun like a need another hole in my head but . . . I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one up from Tony @Talontunes. Keeping it simple I just grabbed one of the black synthetic stock ones. For those of you who have one - straight out of...

    HW/Weihrauch HW100 barrel band o-ring size

    Hey guys - subject asks it - anyone know what the size is? Mine broke and I'd like to replace it. I've just wrapped a bit of electrical tape around the tube for the time being but I'd just assume have the o-ring back in place if I can find the one. Thanks . . .

    Airgun Technologies .22 Vulcan 3 500mm - can I flip the plenum tube on it like the longer 700's can?

    Subject asks it. I probably shouldn't but . . . . I might too. <grin> It's cold and crappy out and I'm bored. :sneaky: I have subjected gun and it shoots pellets *really* well and I get a really good shot count out of it - wouldn't mind a little more 'oomph' out of it though even given...

    BOG Adrenaline Bipod?

    Hi guys -- readers digest, I went from a hatchback suv style vehicle to a sedan with a trunk. With my old vehicle I left the rear seats down all the time and with the entire rear opening up it was a breeze to keep my rifle in a hard case back there along with tools, shooting sticks, etc ...

    Benjamin rebuild an old gen2 mrod / need a set of o-rings for huma reg

    Hey guys . . . 'tis the season - at least here in the north east U.S.A. Cold, crappy and (still) mostly dark. One of my farm permissions may very well be letting me switch the lights off in his barns to wack starlings. I've got an older model sightmark wraith scope that works pretty good -...

    boat tail slugs - anyone using them for hunting?

    . . . just curious. Obviously 99% of the current 'mainstream' slugs in XX weights and calibers are hollow points that do (or not) expand on impact with intended prey. I've been seeing / reading a lot recently about how good the BT's (apparently) fly and quite accurately too. Subject asks it.
