    1st time buyer of PCP Airgun disappointed

    There is a huge learning curve with PCP's. Your lack of knowledge of PCP's is evident. There is lots of gear out there that is a waste of money, I know this because I have a cabinet full of it. Not sure about your Hatsan but a PCP rifle with out a regulator is a waste of time and money in my...

    FX Digital Chronograph Display with Impact M3 .35 Cal

    I got my FX display about a year ago. I just checked mine and at 75 grains it starts back over at zero. I mainly use my display for velocity. I shoot .30 & .35 Impact M3's. Display is set for 54 grain slugs that I shoot from my .30 cal. I stick it on my .35 (making no changes) and it works...

    Tuxing Compressors

    I looked at tranny coolers and heater cores and the radiator was about $20 more. We talked about fabricating a bracket and mounting to the compressor frame but...When we held the core up to the fan it seemed pretty obvious that attaching the core to the fan shroud was the way to go. The...

    We also put blue food coloring in the water so we could see it flowing. The pump is in the bucket that sits on a milk crate it only has to lift maybe 8" to the inlet on top of the radiator. the water runs down through the core and into the cylinder heads returns to the bucket where the pump...

    Tuxing Compressors

    After taking heed of what has been posted about cooling and fluids here is what we did. Wanted to keep it simple. Bought a 20” fan at Lowe’s for $60, a radiator core, at O’Reilly’s, for a Dodge Dynasty $110 (it was the cheapest) and $30 for the plumbing fittings. Took heavy duty zip ties and...

    Thanks for the info! The radiator makes perfect sense. I will get to the parts house and buy a radiator core, and find a cooling fan. After I get it up and running I will post a some pictures. Curious can you get over 4500 psi out of them?

    Thanks for the info bthurman! On my way to the parts house to get WaterWetter (never knew such a product existed) and have ordered Seco 500 oil. Don't recall reading any of this in the manual.

    For cooling I use 2 gallons of prestone and 2 gallons of distilled water. I have run it for 80+ minutes filling 94 cuft bottles from empty to 4500psi. Temp gets to 160 - 170. Now that said it is also January and 60 degrees in my garage. I'm sure in summer it will run hotter

    Hopefully you will get it sooner. Ordered mine on a Thursday it shipped that same day out of CA and FEDEX delivered it Saturday morning, WOW! One of the modifications I made was replacing the factory pressure relief valve, which is set to 300 bar, with a 5000 psi relief valve. I'm filling my...

    Tuxing Compressors

    Purchased a Tuxing TXEDM042 in September, and with the addition of a fluid filled gauge and a better pressure relief valve this is a real work horse, we shoot over 2000 rounds a month and fill bottles nearly every day. My rifles have 580 cc bottles that hold 300 bar. A 6.8 liter tank with 4500...
