Just got my staple gun back after Derrick tuned it for me ;-)
Hope the pinky is healing up nicely bro ;-)
You really need the power plenum if you are going to try slugs in that zip gun.........

Just thought I'd jump in and say Thank you to Derrick.You did an amazing job with this gun. I have to say, it doesn't shoot anything like it did when I sent it to you. I could tell it was tuned (reg) just a bit too hot when the FPS increased when it came off reg. But I also knew she needed my skilled hands than mine. Master Wall is an amazing tuner. Whatever else you did to the innards of this gun has definitely calmed it down.
I've been shooting this gun for a few months now and it is just amazing. The groups are getting smaller as I get myself in tune with this girl. I did manage to shoot a 230 at 100 yards just a month or so ago. So I'd say she CAN win EBR. Now I just have to continue to do my part.
I'll be hitting the range tomorrow and I'll post a few pics if it doesn't pour rain on me.
Here is a thread on facebook I posted a couple of days ago.

I have to cradle mine more firmly to shoot super tight groups, but it was easy to adjust to. Really happy with mine thus far!

Hey, I’m a new evol owner. What steps are required to remove the air tube and access the regulato? Just degass and unscrew the air tube?

I think we need an “all things evol” thread. There is a lot of info scattered around but it would be nice to have it all in one place.

You pretty much nailed it. Degas the rifle and disassemble to the point needed.
It is highly recommended that you acquire the proper tools to facilitate the disassembly.

The barrel needs removed first, so the fill nipple can swing around freely without marring up the barrel. The tools manufactured by AAA specifically for maintenance are top shelf quality, just like the Evol. The spanner wrench is all you should need, but if the o-ring fails in one of her gauges then the gauge tool is priceless at the time.

I would love to get my hands on a veteran long and drop it in a rifle stock. We aren’t allowed Bullpup configured guns up here. Why for the love of god won’t taipan just make a rifle out of that platform already.

Wrong thread?? Lol But yeah I'd also love a rifle version of my Vets. Similar to the Cricket Carbines.

Not sure why I was thinking it was a taipan thread. Either way I’m sticking to it.
As far as the EVOL goes. So far it’s been a great rifle. It’s not perfect and there are a few things that I would have changed.

I don't know, I really really wish they would lose the effing pistol grip and use a regular sporting/hunting stock to keep the vertical profile down. Enough already, there are tactical AR compatible versions for this, tactical versions, and chassis systems. Stop doing it in wood too.
Rant over, but I'm still peeved about it, industry wide.

I get what you're saying, I hate it on the airacuda max, the airacuda standard has an awesome traditional sporter stock.
I just think kalibrgun did good with this one, based on Wolfmans photos mostly.

Well I kinda ranted out over on HAM about KalibrGun. I love their older tube stuff. It's sleek and look very stylish. Up through the Cricket 2 I think they just fit and feel amazing. From the Cricket 2 Tactical forward and especially since they added a bottle, the brand just looks like pieces chunked together - there is no flow in the design.

Yeah, I read that, and agree kind of. I mean, some people do like it fine, right? I like it too, but I like other things also and don't want everything to be the same. Whatever happened to regular old rifle stocks? The Revere, to me, is one of the best looking airguns around. Why aren't more people building airguns that look like that, but with more power? Why isn't Daystate?
