    Replacement Gauge for Daystate / Coltri MCH-3

    My gauge has been leaking for some time and I'd rather change styles from the original. Does anyone know what thread size/spec the gauge uses? Thanks, David

    Value of testing at shorter range

    I'm trying a variety of pellets and tweaking tunes - is there any ground to be gained in the winter season on the indoor range is 20y long and I'm ultimately going to be shooting at 25 and 50 outdoors? I'm thinking I can at least eliminate some definite 'no' combinations and later I can test...

    Thormold Pellet Swaging Die (early impressions)

    Executive summary: this is an expensive and time consuming way to make a pellet and buying this swaging die kit does not guarantee top notch results. The cost per pellet in lead material is very good ($.01/pellet for 13.5gr) but it would take a lifetime to swage enough pellets to cover the...

    Ballistic Coefficient measurements for some .22 and .30

    It was really windy and swirling yesterday so I dug out the Labradar and a bunch of pellets and collected some data. I was particularly curious about the various MRD varieties and the new 28.5gr Grands. These were all shots into the far dirt bank at 110y with the Labradar set to collect...

    S&B 12-50 MkII vs. Kahles 10-50 FT vs. March 10-60 HM for BR/FT

    I have a Thomas .177 set for <20fpe that has a benchrest stock and I'm going to have an FT stock made for it too. (One screw to change stocks - gotta love that) For optics I'd like a scope that can do both where I just change the stock. I'm considering the above scopes right now. Looking for...

    Stock with flat forend

    I’m contemplating stock options for my next field target rig. One option has a beefy, flat forend about 2.25” wide and with maybe a 1/4” radius on the edges. I am already shooting an Anschutz 2002 with its boxy forend and it works fine on my Bog shooting sticks (I have a small towel wrapped...

    Accessories RAW HM1000x Chassis stock (only) w Ergo vertical handgrip

    I got this in a trade recently and will not be using it on my RAW (I’m a wood stock guy). This is a very lightly used condition chassis stock with furniture. It has the A&B Arms butt with adjustable cheek and butt pad, the hammer spring adjuster, M-Lok under the forearm, and the hand grip is a...

    Accessories RAW HM1000x stock

    This RH walnut sporter style stock was on my .30 HM1000x until I replaced it with a custom target style stock. It's in excellent condition. It came from RAW with a 'blemish' per Martin, which can be seen if you look closely behind the cheek riser. The wood had a void that was filled and...

    4500psi Regulator for very low pressure (non airgun) usage?

    Been looking at inflatable kayaks and it occurred to me that if there is a regulator device that steps down to very low pressure, it would be super easy and handy to use. Might also work well with car tires and bike tires. Obviously this kind of device should not be some half-as*ed contraption...

    Tuning Crown MkII .22 tuning questions

    Hello, I'm dipping my toes in tuning my Crown. It's currently outfitted with the .22 700mm standard barrel, and I'm tuning for long range accuracy (15-110y) of 25.4 JSB R/D's. Beyond factory, I have the reg set at 145 and I adjusted the hammer adjust grub screw so that there is minimal play...

    Like using lead pellets? Collect the carcasses or risk losing lead entirely

    Just a friendly reminder that eagles and hawks also scavenge carcasses. So no matter what kind of hunting or pest control you do, lead pellets or lead fragments left in a carcass will get eaten and likely poison the scavenging animal. Only non-lead projectiles or clean through-and-through...

    Lots of lead dust(?!)

    I picked up a Crown last month, my first new airgun in several years. I've owned maybe 10 different airguns over the years, multipump, springers, and a few PCP. So I'm not new to airguns. I was switching between the standard barrel liner and heavy slug liner when I realized everything inside...

    Slug testing methodology?

    I now have a sizeable array of slugs to test in my FX Crown. Once you get clicking ... you know how it is. My club has a 21y indoor range. Looking for suggestions on how to practically test them considering the gun is tunable to provide a range of velocities. I can set it for high power and...

    Crown barrel kit minus liner, probe, and port?

    I have a spare port and slug liner, does anyone sell just the missing parts to make a full barrel kit? Or do I need to buy a full barrel kit and have extra parts leftover?
