What did you do airgun related today.
- Thread starter Florida_Man
- Start date
Yesterday I got some of my Rattler 357 issues sorted out. I could not get the shot counts touted in multiple videos I had watched. Gun just did not seem to be what it was touted. Close but just not there. Turns out my bottle gauge is off. Filled the gun until the gauge red 250 bar. I have always gone off the gun’s gauge. Looked at the fill tank valve and it showed just a touch over 200 bar. Grabbed my other fill bottle and the same readings. So filled the gun to 250 based off the bottles and now I am getting much better shot counts.
Now I am wondering if the reg gauge is off as well as I have never been able to reach the power levels I have seen on videos. Hmmmm.
Today? I found the box of NSA 110 gr .357 slugs I have not been able to find for two days.
Despite the minor issues, it is still the funnest air gun I own.

Velocity kept shifting along with poi slowly over time on my LP10. Frustrating as hell but found the culprit it seems. Barrel set screw kept loosening up. Cleaned up threads and added some lock tite and seems good now.

Shot my two pcps, Notos and HW44. No Chronograph, no agenda, just having fun knocking around some natural reactive targets. Did test out my new CARM Notos mags. They worked flawlessly, unlike the one that came with the rifle. Why doesn't Umarex hire that guy to design their mags? He obviously has a better handle on the engineering involved compared to their in-house people

I love the Carms in my notos and P35. Unfortunately they just went with what Snowpeak offeredShot my two pcps, Notos and HW44.

Darko is a great guy, he made me some .25 cal Notos mags for my big Daddy project. 2 stnd. left side and 1 right side insertion. I've been using his mags over 12 years now. First was on my Kral puncher and still working great.Shot my two pcps, Notos and HW44. No Chronograph, no agenda, just having fun knocking around some natural reactive targets.

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.

Refinishing stock on my Reximex Daystar .177.
Walnut stock has nice figuring, but factory finish didn’t do it justice.
Received some dyes today, I’ve been studying guitar finishing videos. I’m gonna try dyeing this stock before finishing with Tru-Oil.

Opened up a package sent from a good member here on AGN. He had a notos part I threw away by accident. He wasn’t using it and hooked me up!

Designed a tesla valve prototype. Hadn't done that before. Pretty much adventures in CAD all day. Now printing a single baffle sample in TPU to see if it comes out ok without too much droop. Have yet to master TPU printing, but plugging away at it.

It is. The view I chose obscures the details. I had to section the view to even be able to tell that it was implemented correctly. If it doesn't work, there might be more details. If it works really well, not sure if there will be many details posted, because I worked hard to do it. Depends on how I'm feeling that day...

It remains to be seen if I know what I'm doing.
So far it is printing ok, so tomorrow it can be incorporated into a design. Hadn't tried such big overhangs before. Some sagging, but I'm impressed that it is coming out ok so far. Was expecting worse.Upvote 0
Busy week. I was able to get my Revere out of the closet and shoot a 25y card and play around with a new to me used Sightron 24x44 fixed power scope. My Notos was the only rifle I didn’t mind swapping optics. Great little scope.
Tuning the Notos also the last few days. Mine is giving me some bad reg creep.

Nice set up !
My LP 10 has some creep as well but not quite worth swapping an o ring out yet.

I’ve had mixed performance from Snowpeak regs. My PP700’s weren’t good and I replaced them. My P35 has been rock solid. I wanted to try a Huma avalanche moderator, so I ordered a Huma reg for the notos also. My brain also likes seeing reg numbers on the reg haha

New to air guns. Bought one last weekend.
I am researching regulators to use a tethered tank and trying to understand tanks, and booster compressors.

If you’re shooting big bore it’s really important. I shoot all cylinder rifles 177, 22, and 25. To me it’s just too much stuff for how much air I use. My Yong Heng can get me 2-3 weeks shooting for 30 min topping off my Great White.

Recieved an order from Bullet Central. 5 tins of FX .22 25.39g only 11.27 a tin! Still on sale.
Now going through the mind-numbing process of weighing them out. The FX/JSB 25.39g have a huge variance in weights. Won't really make a difference if you are 30 yards and in, but stretched out beyond 50..you will notice your poi all over the place. weights from 24.7 to 25.9..yikes . I hope when the new releases are out, they will be more consistent in weights and head size. But at this price..it was worth the effort.

My P35 has taken a liking to them. I only shoot 30y max. I ordered 4 tins from Trenier last month, I just ordered 4 more from Bullet Central after seeing your post.
This was at 20 yards
