Skout Airguns - EVO

Nope, that is the twist rate of our slug barrel. We are still finalizing the exact twist rates for the .22 and .30. One of us had a .22, one had a .25 and the other two shot .30

Luke, what is the twist rate for the 25 cal with a 35 inch slug liner.

1:23

 

[RFORESTR]

.25 will be first then .30 and .22. The .25 is 1:23. Still finalizing things on .30 and .22

Luke,
Twist rate for the 25 cal 35 inch slug barrel - is that the 1:23 noted above? Gun to be delivered tomorrow and want know baseline.
Thanks

Anyone have one in their hands? Impressions?

It can’t be used with their shutoff valve, but if you remove the shutoff valve that bottle can be used. The threads on our bottle on-off are the standard M18-1.5. Also on a side note, we have moved to BSPP threads on the EVO to allow for more gauge options!

I am a fan of the Sekhmet digital gauges. Have you verified whether the 28mm Sekhmet Pro (Gen 2) digital gauge with 1/8” BSPP thread will fit into the angled recess area on the regulators? It looks like the stock gauge is very slightly smaller in diameter, maybe it’s a 25mm gauge with a slip on cover that yields about a 27mm diameter, and the recessed surround that the gauge fits down into could possibly be too close for the 28mm Sekhmet gauge. I don’t want to even remove the analog gauges if I’m just going to find the 28mm Sekhmet doesn’t fit into the gauge recess/surround. Can anyone confirm the 28mm Sekhmet will mount on the regulators? Also, do the gauges seal with a thread compound, or is there a seal in the threaded tube that gets compressed?

the Skout's manometers are in 1/8 NPT threads
the Orc Airs guages will work if the Sekmets do not come in 1/8 NPT threads
the 25mm are slightly lower in profile. I found the 28mm to be a bit too big

Sorry. I failed to mention I was referring to the Evo, not the Epoch. I understood from the post I quoted from Luke of Skout Airguns that they went to BSPP threads on the Evo. It looks like Sekhmet offers a 25mm gauge, but it only reads out in bar and cannot be set to psi. I really prefer to stay in psi just for platform uniformity, since that's the language the manufacturer speaks. Not to mention I prefer psi, even though I've gotten used to bar on Impacts. I may just have to live with bar if I want to go digital accuracy right now.
