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

    Need the Groups help. I have a brand new CS4-i that I setup, dead head tested to 4500psi, and have used to fill guns 3x. Today I hooked it up to my Marauder... and once it reached 1800psi, I felt a slight "bump" in the hose, and it wouldn't pump past that point. There's really not much of a...

    Other Just how much must I pay for "Accuracy" in a PCP gun?

    Let me first set the table... I've been a long-time outdoorsman with a 23 yr military career behind me and have been a "powder gun" shooter for most of my life. In "powder guns," I can pull one out of the box, give them a good cleaning, set up the gun(s), site in, and then count on them to HIT...

    Tuning .22 Marauder Striker Hammer Adjustment ????

    Morning! I've owned my .22 Marauder for a few months now, and two days ago when out for some spring gopher hunting with it. Went through 400+ rounds, and stopped counting at 200 dead gophers. BUT.... on a few of the adults/large ones, it took a second shot to end them. There were no shots...

    What Wrong with this Picture?

    I was in our local walmart this morning, and as always, checked to see if there were any .22 call pellets to be had. To my surprise, there were several on the shelf, so I grabbed a couple. Once home, I was just about to open the packaging and put them away..... but then..... Look...

    Yeng Hong Frankenstein

    This is what happens when you have a newbie get his hands on the issue of keeping a Yeng Hong Compressor cool. I had an old "A" coil from our central air until sitting around, and thought I'd salvage it for the compressor. It looks horrible....but I can now fill a 30 cubic ft bottle to...

    Inline fill/pressure gauge for tank use?

    Hi Folks! I'm new enough, that I don't know the proper name for an item, but I'd call it an "inline pressure/fill gauge" for air tank to gun use... with foster fittings on each end.... like this..... Here's the gist.... I purchased a second hand, 30 cu ft air tank, which has the gauge...

    [WTB] Portable PCP air tank for field/hunting

    Just purchased my first PCP gun, and compressor..... now looking for a good, usable 4500 psi air tank. Doesn't have to look good, just be solid and dependable. Would prefer at least a 30 cut ft, but would consider smaller if the price is right. Looking for something that I can carry with...

    Making the step to PCP.... and seeking knowledge

    Spring is coming to MT, and that means taking some to off from the Knife shop, and thinning down the gophers! :) Just can't get powder ammo, so it will have to be "air guns" this year. I've been shooting "springers" for a couple of years now, and initially was very pleased with my SIG...

     Just throwing this out there for the community..... I own a Gamo Swarm Whisper..... something that I have notice with this particular gun.... after not shooting it for a while, like days, the first mag is all over the place, and most times, half way through the second mag, it starts to put the...

    Wax and gun bores

    Help/advice on Moderators/"silencers"

     I recently purchased a SIG ASP20. It comes with a built in moderator, but is still rather loud.....at least compared to other moderated guns I've used. Looking around the net, I've seen some of the WK guns, specificially the 97 has availability of an adapter for "moderators". Any web...
