    HELP!!!

    I can't help - too far away. It sounds like you would be better served in having the right people that can help you if you re-titled your post to something at least like "Looking for help on finding a source for HPA locally in Puerto Rico" . . . .

    LCS CLOSED THE COMPANY DOES ANYONE KNOW

    Not even close to being comparable . . . the LCS is a select fire air gun, meaning it can be used either in semi-automatic or fully automatic firing mode. So if one wishes, it can shoot the full magazine in a few seconds with one pull of the trigger. Also discussed in this post are the Rattler...

    LCS CLOSED THE COMPANY DOES ANYONE KNOW

    I agree with @Mau , and it is especially true with these complex semi-automatics . . . I have a Huben K1 and it has been an incredible gun. I have had a few issues with it over the years, but repairs have been easy with help from Kelly at Krazcool airguns - he supports us with lots of advice...

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

    I'd say you have received some excellent advice through these replies. I think the best was in reply #14 by @elh0102 - airguns will never be as robust, consistent, or as reliable as firearms. But that does not mean that every gun will need constant fussing. Also, as pointed out, unregulated...

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    Duplicate post - as in a double posting by accident . . . . @Moderator2 please delete, and others just find the other post by the same title . . . .

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    4500 psi is not a strange upper limit from a company that also sells a lot of tanks rated for a max of 4500 psi . . . Having that as the peak level, but allowing it to be set lower for tanks rated to a lower pressure level would be very logical in my book, not strange . . .

    Gk1 lasted 4 days !!!!!!

    I know that it is possible that it might not have been user error from direct experience . . . I had the firing valve on my Huben K1 jam at one point. The firing valve is part number 5, and mine would not open up to full length to reset after a shot, so the valve stayed open and leaked out the...

    N/A The new mordax

    I don't have the pistol, but I do have both a Huben K1 and Sidewinder in .22 cal. I find the Huben to be the better gun - much better trigger, quieter action even at more power (and this matters as your head is pressing right there on it - it is loud!), and generally of a higher build quality...

    Burst disc seal or no seal

    7.5K burst discs are commonly used on 4500 psi tanks . . . that is the size on mine, and on both of my Shoebox compressors.

    Benjamin Marauder .22 cal

    The Beasts won't fit the magazine, but can be single loaded. The issue you will have is that they are too heavy to shoot at any decent speed without power modifications - like higher flow valves and bigger porting. Power tunes in the Marauder are simply not enough for a pellet this heavy.

    N/A Does velocity effect rifle sensitivity when shooting?

    Then there is also the question of what the gun in question likes or does not like - I have a .22 Sidewinder that I would love to get to shoot well at 800 fps and under, but there is no ammo that it likes at the lower speeds. It only shoots well above 875 fps, and even better from 900-950 fps...

    Omega 4500 Compressor or GX E5K2…

    . . . because there is not enough water vapor left in the air to condense out after compression! Nice set up!!

    Omega 4500 Compressor or GX E5K2…

    BlackICE gave you a great estimate on the initial fill of the tank, but remember that you only do that once - after that, you are topping it off only (at least until you decide to drain it for an inspection at some point). The key thing that drives how long you run your compressor for refills...

    Omega 4500 Compressor or GX E5K2…

    I'll second what @blackdog899 said - don't confuse the length of run time with working hard. When you consider the max rated fill pressure and duty cycle run time of the CS4, it is not straining at all to refill a 6.8L tank. In full disclosure, I don't have one, but have the even slower...

    Daystate Blackwolf information

    Thanks for the info. I'm very interested in one. Every time I pick up my ~13 year old Air Ranger I'm blown away by how great it is . . . I can't imagine how much better the Black Wolf could be after all those refinements . . .

    Ditto - very well said!

    Talk about disappointment. Vector

    Not all Athlon scopes do that well - I have an Argos 8-34 that is rated to focus down to 15 yards, but it can't do that well at full zoom (which technically means it can't do it at all, but is "usable" at 15 yards at ~half magnification or lower). I don't find it truly clear at 34X until about...

    GX-E-5K1 Fill Times

    @EPG That is an impressive fill time on the tank. Nice compressor. Just for reference, I calculated how much water vapor was in the air you compressed. Based on the info you provided, you compressed roughly 1/3 of a cubic meter of air into that tank, and that air would have carried roughly...

    The best All around Air rifle scope

    Just my opinion, but a best "all around" scope for me would be SFP, not FFP . . . I'd want a wide zoom range on it, and it would get used at both extremes of magnification. I bought a wide zoom FFP scope to try and I find the reticle so small at minimum zoom that it simply does not function...

    Cs4i or yong heng

    Don't give up on that molecular sieve just yet - from what you describe it is doing its job perfectly. You should never expect any water droplets inside it, or after it since it's job is to adsorb the water vapor. What you are doing before it is great - you are getting rid of the condensed...
