    Hatsan So I drank the kool-aid (or was it Jet fuel?) and found the perfect plinker

    Yes that was my intent since I usually fill from a scuba tank. Convenient filling and hopefully longer valve stem life.

    I also removed the 2 washers before shortening the spring.

    Hatsan So I drank the kool-aid (or was it Jet fuel?) and found the perfect plinker

    34mm, the factory spring is 37. I wouldn't try without a chrony to see what is happening. After each clip, I heated the last half coil with propane torch and pressed on the spring guide to flatten the base. A little filing smooths the base of the spring.

    Hatsan So I drank the kool-aid (or was it Jet fuel?) and found the perfect plinker

    It comes with the adapter. I tried a buckrail 177/22 moderator, but it affected accuracy. Had a 30 buckrail, so I tried that on a whim. Works great! It's just a little louder but still very much backyard friendly. And it kinda has that Pffft sound you hear in the movies.

    For $125 that is. I had never considered getting a Jet, but Midway kept dropping the price until the Jet 1 in .177 was $125 with free shipping. Couldn't resist, and it has been a ton of fun. With some very basic tuning, it's turned into a very decent shooter. The stock hammer spring is too...

    AEA Diving into "Big Bore"

    AEA Diving into "Big Bore"

    I've been getting 5 shots on the regulator with 81 grain pellets at 935 fps. Wanted to get 8 in the 850 range. The magazine holds 8 so you should get 8 shots right? Adjusted about an eight of a turn and now get 8 shots at 860ish. The more I shoot the more impressed I am with this gun. If...
