Great find man at an awesome price. I couldn't find one at a good price if a seller knocked on my door and offered it to me cheap! Congrats.Was able to pick up a Labrada for $ 200. and change. Last summer I shot my Pro Chrono while placing it down range to get BC on a slug.

Shot a couple more attempts at elf on the Shelf Christmas Challenge, one with my Daisy 840 and one with the Crosman M4-177. I sped through both in my cool garage, and results reflect it. But it was nice to be plinking a bit just the same. Both guns were recently oiled, and the 840 at least was night and day difference in operation. Smooth as butter through the whole shot cycle. Might actually be holding air now too (preshot).

I picked up 2 more rifles from a pair od Gunbroker.com auctions.
HM1000X .357 and a BM500X .30
The HMX is, according to Martin Rutterford, one of 2 or 3 prototypes he made back in 2014.
But both needed some work. The HMX literally had several rotten orings that I had to chase down all the bits.
Ordered spares from Martin, came in two days, and got both guns sealed and holding air.
But neither had a moderator so no testing allowed until moderated.
The end of the BM500X has a 5/8-18 post and no one makes an adapter for that.
The HMX has a M30x1 end cap. One of the AEA rifles has that but only up to .30.
So deep diving I eventually came across:
brainright.com
Input parameters
Boom, 3d model .STL file
A bunch of printed adapters later I have adapters for both guns.

Going through the bits. I've moved a lot of the PCP rifles, and I have to consider keeping the rings, mounts, moderators, bag rider, etc, or not.
In a fit of genius, I went out in the 9 degree feels like, with snow drifting down, and "army man certified" my M4-177. 3 mags (15 shots) and about 12 minutes later I couldn't feel my trigger pulls but I was happy to have the shots complete with successful lead slynging. 10 meters, 5 pumps, H&N FTT.

That's sunbathing weather. It's 12 degrees here today and others have it much colder

It’s 21f, 10f windchill here this morning. Yesterday we had gusts to 40mph. But, it’s sunny. So I’m going to clean the barrel on the Sonoran and little stuff like that.

You joke but as a man who lives in SW Utah this speaks to me. For me to be out chasing coyotes in 30° weather takes a lot haha.

Feels like 11, with 14mph sustained and gusts in excess of 20mph. I know what you are saying, and yet the urge calls me.
Disassembled the Epic Two
to access the valve, increasing the opening from 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm. I have refilled the reservoir to 290 bar and set the regulator to approximately 180 bar. Currently monitoring for leaks to ensure it holds air (or rather, nitrogen)
