What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Hateful McNasty]

So I get a post alert for sorens post above but no alert for fl22 posting ? There 2 min apart so ??

I noticed I only get partial alerts to stuff .. being this is a thread I started I figured I'd get full post alerts to it not as it feels like giving them ...lol

Bought 3 x 6 L Dräger 300 bar bottles at an auction from the fire department for $ 14 each

Pressure tested and still have quite a few years left until they reach the 30 year limit

They need a little paint and then I will be adding 3D printed handle and feet to each bottle

Did the first set this afternoon

So you don't need hydros or like a dot cert there like here ?

14 bucks ...man that's cheaper then dirt on bottles. I don't think you'd find that here on a legal usable tank here ..

 

[FL22]

Shot all my airguns today. Well, the ones that are working anyway .

Taipan .25
S510 .22
HW95 .177
Airacuda .25

I looked at mine : )

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I'm short on clean pellets . It's been cold or rainy I just never got out to clean a tin up for shooting .. but this next couple of days looks promising and warmer . Maybe 10-20° warmer then rain and cold again .. but hopefully I'll get a day or 2 decent to shoot comfortable.. ... Hopefully..

Finally got around to setting zero on a couple of my rifles I swapped scopes on. Apparently I upset a right large Grey squirrel about 30 yards away, because it was barking away at me. It made the mistake of sitting still, and I used my 25 avenger to feed him.

They have been tested and they are DOT marked

I got some off Ebay not as good a deal as MR. Soren Drost but I was happy. : )

 

[FL22]

Building my backstop, and repairing my old plinking target.

Cleaned up some

Off with the 3x9 Hawke, hello 4x16 Athlon! (The Hawke is staying as a spare probably for the ol Slav springer) Spent probably 4 hours with the S510 today..... shot a 5 shot group with the 1in Hawke, pulled it and slapped on the Midas Tac 30mm. Man is it nice having a proper reticle on it! She's a fair amount longer than the Hawke. Once zeroed the group went to crap so I cleaned the barrel real good, it was gross!! Forgot how annoying the straw trick was so I drilled out the shroud lol. Sure hope it doesn't affect accuracy! The last group going to crap? Possibly because it was 2deg below zero? I shot it to 150 bar and once inside it went back up to 175 bar Brrrr

I certainly hope that your barrel mod works out better than mine did .

The straw trick ... Ya, can't you just remove the baffles and then clean as normal ?

200$ gamo can



Easy peasy...

Looks like your set up nice now . Enjoy.

Ahh but that silencer gold is illegal in my communist (home of the brave and  NOT free) country, lol. If you look inside the shroud of my S510 you will see nothing but the barrel To sell a gun here it must have all factory sound supression removed. The holes are still their at the back of the shroud but no baffles in the front. That why i call it "the Kracken" she loud for only 32fpe! By drilling it out I could fit a much fatter straw inside and make life easier to pull the patch worm through.

Sounds like a need to make up a Kool kustom karbon fiber shroud for it ..

I noticed my Reg pressure on my Airacuda Max was the same as my tank. Shot it till it was down to about 1900 PSI and refilled, thinking it would help. No dice. Reg pressure is the same as tank still. Is this an o-ring issue?

Congratulations you now own an unregulated Airacuda? Lol that's probably not what you are going for! Usually it is an O-ring, I know on the Brk Ghost their is holes drilled in the main block so when an o-ring leaks is will often leak the air externally and it is easy to diagnose. Id search for any vids on it but probably an o-ring is bad on the reg itself. How old is the gun?

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Ain't it because the pressure equalize in each tank .. you can only go 1/2 worth

Not old. 4 months maybe? Good news is they send a full rebuild kit with the gun. And there is a detailed tutorial video from JTS on the tube of the you. I’m not too terribly upset, I honestly got the rifle because it was like $250 if I added it to the order with my compressor, soooo…. Sure? Why not? Good gun to tinker on and learn more about the PCP side of the hobby without worrying about ruining a high end. I was going to tear it down for inspection this past weekend but my Fix-it-sticks were in my desk at work.

Let us know how it goes! I'm calling o-ring on reg itself
