What did you do airgun related today.

Well. I worked on my new Karma Eq 30 cal. Redesigned the trigger guard to mount my arca rail. 3d printed 4 variations before I got the fit the way I wanted. Changed the pistol grib threads from M5 to 1/4x20.

I've also been working a dual mag setup for my Zelos. Think I'm on my fifth 3d printed version for this one.

Man, if you can come up with new magazines for the karma and 25 and 30, I think you’ll make some money and you’ll help a bunch of us who order one I think the EQ in 25 and 30 caliber are going to be the most wanted rifle this year
Today I used a Chronograph for the first time , but the pellets were between 845 to 850 fps they are to long for the Guantlet magazine , so I used my single shot tray. The Apolo 25.4 should have been going to 890 , but did not. Could be a hammer spring adjustment.?
I wouldn’t worry too much about that if they’re accurate and their grouping good that’s fast enough remember in England with their law they should 18 grains in the low 700s and they have very accurate guns so speed is not everything. Just have fun with your toys.

went to the local 100yrd indoor. I felt like i found the goldilocks tune for my new to me Katran. 1 pellet 1 slug. And both fantastic at this particular setting.

Topping off the 60 minute scba tank in preparation for a trip up North early next month. The gun of choice for the trip will be the NOTOS. It's regged at around 2k so after a couple fills I can just tether it. Should be plenty for a couple days shooting. I have a 3 x 5 folding table with height adjustable legs and a 5 gal bucket with a cushion for a seat and to carry accessories. Also have a collapsible paper target stand as well as golf tees and paintballs. The goal is to keep things compact enough to fit in the back of the Nissan rogue rental we have reserved leaving room for whatever Betty Lou has in mind. She's already mentioned a couple things that belonged to her mamma that she wants to grab. She brought a whole pickup load of stuff on her first trip so there can't be a whole lot more. If there is I'll just rent a small one way trailer for the trip home.

Watched a squirrel wreck havoc on my neighbors tomato plants while daring that mangy flea bag to step one
curse-ed, disease carrying claw near my bird feeder.
You could always dare him with peanuts, walnuts, and promises of great wealth from a nigerian prince.
 
Have my buddy the choice of picking either the Edgun Lelya .25 or my U2 C and he says he wants both 🫠 so I'm end up putting a deposit on a members Lelya .22 for myself lol.

I shot some iguanas yesterday with the U2 C .22.

Upped the reg on the U2 .177 600mm to what I'm best guessing is 160b and the U2 C .22 to 135ish bar. I'll see where those figures put me at today.

Changed hammer springs on my buddies XM1 .25 since it lost power somehow, gonna see if that makes any difference today.

Took apart the LCS SK19 to figure wth is wrong with it that it didn't want to to advance the mag after each shot. It holds air but would cycle, took it apart about 6 times and finally figured out there's 2 screws that allow to adjust 1, the rate of fire, and 2 the tension place on the magazine. So I played with the mag tension and that did nothing. I then reduced the rate of fire and it finally started cycling. I then also slightly reduced the tension and it helped with rotation each time from 250b to 150b!
 
Pulled the trigger on the chainsaw, sawzall, and mowers, clearing a new range in the woods that is my back yard.
I had dangerous storm damaged trees that I finally figured a safe way to get dropped.
I have 30 yards available now, but don't dare stop and shoot. I have to push on to the property line. 👍

Our squirrels are afraid of me. They run when they see me. I have been thinning the herd in our neighborhood. The squirrels have been getting into everyone’s attic and chewing on the corners of houses. I have taken three more in the past few days. Two were at 55 yards practicing for HFT.

Great work! For that very reason, 3 of my 4 neighbors around me said, and I quote "Get 'em"!

Three down this evening. They've been digging in the tomato garden, wiped out one bed of new carrots and lopped off all the bottle-brush flowers. Mama said they gotta go. I usually does what she tells me. :)
 
Tested the LCS SK19 I thought I fixed, I did not.. it cycles now, but only when it wants too.

Tested the U2 600mm .177 and it is now putting out 43fpe shooting 20gr at 984fps avg 🤪🤪. Gonna test out 23gr griffing, 18.5gr .1771/.178 VK, as well as the 16.5gr VK in .1771.

The U2 C .22 had the reg set to high. I lowered it slightly and was just below reg, shooting 15.89 at 910fps avg it was an airhog at about 18 shots per fill and the accuracy totally fell back. I brought the reg back about 1/8th turn, should be around 860 now, much happier, and I get about 5 mags per fill now.

Also shot a bunch of iguanas with the U2 .22 check it out on the head shot thread!
