I had to chuckle when I read “I woke up with the idea”. I too get struck at odd times with ideas. I try to get as much down on paper or talking into my phone before the idea starts to fade because of life.

A couple years ago I was consumed by having every gun I owned needing to have a bee-bop integrated into its shroud. Was a shroud building fool. But machining internals was way more of a PITA than guys printing them. I finally just submitted to the Hollywood sniper look and have been lucky enough to find something that works. But when I get a new gun it’s looks like a wine tasting with all the units lined up to test. I hope you build something that works awesome.

I think it's a personality type too. I think in wire frame Autocad a lot. I once woke up with a build idea for a break action rimfire from scrap materials and parts, fully formed. It took 110 hours of machining and woodwork but I built my own goofy single shot with some exceedingly rare and expensive macasar ebony furniture. (gifted the wood).

This should give some insights into my ranting posts. 😁

I'd really like to know what the verdict is on your m4 when you know. Just to help pass the knowledge on.

Forum dogma and snobbery is a thing of the past for me. I try not to be condescending, but i really want to pass this knowledge on as best I can (if they can use the search function) to problem solve and critical think and don't be afraid to be wrong. Together we can subvert the profit margins of airgun repair 😂. If we don't teach it, we are doomed to a world of appliance operators and disposable hardware.

Do as you see fit but I’ll say that I live near UA, use the store and range a lot and have good relations with the staff and dogs. I’m not going into any details but I’ll say that you are not the only one with this valve issue and they have been very successful fixing it. I’m not throwing shade on turbo either - he may well have implemented the same fix or better.

That's a joke. Right
Should be. isn't one gun out box that just works the ghost that cannot shoot slugs to save its life with its 4-600 barrels so how great is that 2k.gun?
How about The Agt Urgan 3 that's supposed to be so great
Sounds like a submarine when you shoot.it glad.i listened to a so many here that praise it because that PING stinks.
Who want to hunt with that ?
All.i see is the same few Bashing the same air gun over and over sounds.like a broken record as some say on other sites if.you own an FX
Expect to get bashed on agn.
There correct as I see it.more and more the few experts here dom t want to hear about any new fixes they know everything
Was a good site when I came.on board 6 months ago
With my new notos not so.much since u bought my impact so.
So it's my time to.move on thank the few that helped with my Notos and well the few Fx bashers have fun sound like a bunch of.old hens
I'm all set with this site Haye to see a Newby come.here with an impact.

I am tempted to discuss my shoes, but I’ll go with AGs. I have no favorite. All thirty or so drive me nuts. I think that the ugly stick Taipan Vet 2 .700 tact is my favorite .22 slugger at present and that was a real surprise. It melts into the bag, the crosshairs barely move during the shot cycle and it’s the closest to the consistency and accurate of my PB biathlon rifles, which are pretty good. Of course, it has a few little tweaks on the hammer and valve components. I guess it my only AG that isn’t a work in progress, for now.

It is my long held belief that FX are really really bad at gunsmithing, even though they are OK at pneumatics. I also believe that they are bad at prototyping - the problem being that their creations spend most of their R&D life inside a computer/CAD program and not in the real world.
How difficult can it be to count all the interfaces between an accelerating pellet and the sights, and realise that all those micron displacements of contact points (when all parts are jarred and shaken) can lead to temporal or permanent POI shifts. It actually is difficult to think this way at the design phase, because even big firearm companies do often and frequently get this wrong too - for example floated handguards might move too much and barrel-receiver attachment points and ways might be 'not good enough'.
