What did you do airgun related today.

Finished putting this m3 together.

Parts replaced in the last 24hrs.

- New Backbone rail medium.
- 1 reg plug.
- new fill nipple.
- 177 high flow huma probe and transfer port.
- rear reg o-ring and housing o-ring.
- adjust the reg to 113b.
- change from .22 to .177.
- fat pistol grip

Also mounted my Arken LH 4-16x50, and put the Huma mod 30 .177/.22 at the front. I love the way it looks so far and the way it carries the weight. Now I'm hoping it shoots as good as it looks tomorrow.

Today I broke out my .22 Benjamin Akela. It has been over a month since I shot it and it lost zero air pressure sitting in my safe. Shot a couple of mags worth of Predator GTO Lead-free's and fine-tuned the Hawke Airmax 30 to repeatable Starling grade accuracy. The Akela has once again reminded me how it dominates the $600 price point in a Walnut and Steel bull pup configuration.

I love it, the akela I used to have was and has been by far the best pellet shooter I have owned and tried.

Nice rig man!

I'm thinking about getting an impact for a dedicated recording/NV setup with my PARD DS35. Or get a 30 cal sidewinder if they ever come back in stock. Would love a compact 100 fpe semi auto lol.

Only way to win the war on pests is to lay heavy supressive fire on them!

Thank you!

I would steer you clear from the sidewinder unless you don't care if the animals also hear you're gun and like a heavy trigger lol. I would greatly suggest a huben k1 😏
 
I was thinking about pulling the trigger on a Combro MK chrony today but couldn’t find anything but accessories.
Any ideas.
Still looking for one at the mo.
I have two and 3/4's of them... I have one at home, one at the college where I coach a pistol team and do most of their repairs/maintenance. I really like them, but as best I can tell, the guy in England making them has largely retired. Someone on one of the English air gun forums said he can't get some of the parts, and stopped production several years ago. I snagged a used one recently on eBay, but it claims the rear sensor isn't working. It came with replacement sensor parts, but I haven't had time to dig into it. It doesn't appear to have been shot, and I have a full electronics shop in the basement, but no more time to work on it at the moment. They are very nice, but your only option is to get one used, and accept the fact that parts may be unobtainium if it gets damaged. The last I heard (~ 2 years ago), you could still get parts if you were in England, but I have no idea if that is still the case.
 
What did you do today?

Sort pellets?
Mount a scope?
Shoot a rifle you have not had out in awhile?
Checked some seals?
Checked to make sure all screws are tight?
You name it.

I’m trying to stay away from the buy/receive haha
This thread is to promote what you already have.

I took my Pard NV008 off my Notos and put it on my P35 25 cal. I zeroed using my ZB mount to my required distances. I also set up a camera to alert me to the critters I’m after. There are some larger critters that need some lead at night. I also plan on installing the plenum and barrel kit as well as some buck rail stuff on the notos.
Shot my Benjamin maruder .177 yesterday which I haven’t done in a while, I’m glad I didn’t sell it.

emptied my 220cc cf buddy bottle and considered replacing my notos stock tube tank. then i realized i wanted to keep the slim profile of the notos and also didn’t want to mess with removing the barrel and possibly destroying my barrel o-rings when putting the barrel back into the block. lol so glad i got the compressor now.

I shot my Avanti Valiant CZ200 Hunter to set it up for the next round of workplace marksmanship challenge. Dialed her in a 10m.
Got home and shot my 25 cal P35. It hits so hard at my resetting target at 18y it won’t reset. It goes up with such force it slaps off and falls back down. But I have to keep it zeroed there for large pests at my bird feeder. It’s shooting 25gr at 830fps.
 
I resurrected an old Vintage 3 gun, gun rack that my late Dad got as Christmas Present from my late Mother back in the 60's. I remember that Christmas morning with the family, and how proud my Mother was when Dad opened the box, and how it made him smile! So hanging in my shed for over 20 years,covered in dust and mildew, I decided to see if I could give it some new found LOVE.

This came from Kmart back then, in a box that had to be assembled. When I brought it in, I found it pretty loose and dried out, as Dad never glued the joints, and just used the 1" #6 brass screws it came with to put it together in the predrilled holes. So after dismantling it, and sanding the old brown painted finish off, it was a little iffy if I could save it, let alone use it?

Well after a couple coats of stain on the unknown wood, (the left riser and right riser were both different types of wood), the 2 coats of stain to try and disguise the different wood, then 2 coats of spray Satin urethane. I decided to make a trip to the hardware and find the needed fasteners and felt protectors to line the risers for the guns to rest on,,,, AS WELL AS WOOD GLUE. This rack needed a lot of love, so I bought 1 1/2" #6 brass screws, to replace the 1" it has had in it. Then I found some felt adhesive pad, used for floor protectors for furniture, about 6" X 12" to cut the strips to protect the rifles stored in it.

Well that worked, this ting is strong enough to hold up to 3 12# rifles, but even my HW77K doesn't fit the narrow notches in the risers. I still need to get a couple nobs for the slide out "pellet storage draw", as well as change the top left felt pad to a longer one to match the right one. I then screwed it into the wall directly thru the head board into two studs with 1/4" x 2 1/2" brass ornamental large head torx drive screws.

This started as an Idea to save my Dad's old gun rack that he was happy to have, and it became quite a gratifying project. It took me down memory lane in many different ways for the three days I worked on it. It became more and more important to make it as nice as I could, and keep it the same primary rack it was when my Dad opened it that long ago Christmas morning, and as I did, I continued to see his, as well as Mom's smile, and it reminded me how much they loved each other and how little it cost to share that love!

So thru all the emotional glory this brought, I found it only fitting to put it to use where all coming and going can see it. As well as use it for three of my most prised springers, the R10 Beman, the HW50s above it, and on top will reside the HW30s. In order of the most shot from top to bottom. And it will remind me everytime I grab one of them of the two most important people in my life,,,,, Mom and Dad!

It's not Ashland or Broyhill Furniture, but it is so much more to me. I think both are smiling down knowing they are still loved and still giving from there heart. It will hopefully someday offer the same love and memories to one of my grandkids! As to me it is now much more than an inexpensive piece of box store furniture, it's a precious piece of family history!

I know these are old tech, but I got a Prod in from a member that I traded with, and ordered an Airgun Revisions carbine stock for it. It showed up this morning and I got a chance before the rain to get outside and shoot to 30 yards. 24 shots into a 3/4" group with fx atomic pellets.

It's also wearing the factory moderator 9ff my huntsman regal. It fits right over the DFL shroud extension. It's stupid quiet.

Out of all the 2260 pcp guns I've built over the last decade, this is the first Prod I've ever owned.
 
I looked at it 🙂, I also received 800 13.5gr varmint knocker slugs, Dale was very speedy with the delivery and I am highly appreciative as I'm out off .177 ammo currently
You just reminded me, I need to order some slugs for the revere. I found out this morning that the h&n .218 21 grain HPs will stack out to 50. I'd like to try some lighter ones next. Might order the sampler again to try.

H&N doesn't make slugs lighter than 21gr. Zans makes the 20gr, and NSA makes the 20.2gr and the 17.5gr from .2155-.219.

You although not lighter, you should really give Varmint Knocker slugs a try, the 22gr XLHP will give you a big fat smile once you smack a starling with it.

Also I'm really digging your carbine!

I thought they had some in the 17gr range. Maybe that's the jsb KOs?

I might order some NSA 17.5s since the gun is only running 28 fpe. Or just save my money and shoot the hades/atomic that is stacks lol.

Neither my friend, in .22 JSB makes the 25.39gr KO slugs in .216, .217, and .218.

I believe the brand you're thinking are Rifle Slug Series, they make a 18.13gr slug.

Also a gentlemen from Florida has a online site his brand of slugs is Tremor and he makes 18gr slugs as well, I have 2 tins of those.
