Neat but I will pass. I am on the side of please make lower pressure guns. They can be powerful and get a decent amount of shots. The key is efficiency. Less pressure means less leaks. But each to his own.
I have a Daisy 200 that I love to shoot due to it being a true semi (at least it feels it) with an easy trigger. All my other semi autos are more or less double action feel (like shooting a revolver double action). Not what I’ve call true semi auto. I know the Daisy 200’s are known to fail. Is...
Maybe they do but it’s not on their web site. “Get up to 20 full-power shots per fill, then recharge easily using the integrated built-in pump.” Ascent Hybrid PCP Air Rifle
On PA’s site, they mention that AV says to fill from tank/compressor the first time, then top off every shot. For me that...
Speaking of internal corrosion, we got the new AV Ascent PCP
with on board pump. No way to filter out the water. In the past people would say you shoot out the moisture. Well that don’t cover most today because PCP’s are left with air in them. And the Ascent more or less says to leave air in...
Love it. But I bet the Komplete takes away some sales from it as the Komplete is just $20 more. That $20 buys so much more versatility. However I understand backyard friendly. But the Komplete can go either way with high power air or C02. Either gun looks like a winner.
The Barra video was great. At least for the sa revolver. I hope all the original problems are gone now. If this can make it, think of all the guns it could spawn. I think of lever action rifles and bolt action too.
Yes. I looked it up as I seen this in one of my old airgun books. Saxby-Palmer was it. Brocock bought them in 1989. Tom Gaylord (B.B.) also did a blog on them. https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2006/01/brocock-air-cartridges/
No doubting you but does the C02 react with other items to corrode? I ask because I have some C02 guns that are pretty old and the original seals are still holding.
As been said before, some drops of silicone (real silicone) in the fill port at each fill will help with that and good for the seals (preventing leaks). Also shooting the Umarex Komplete with the Nitro Cartridges (or C02 Cartridges) eliminates the moisture problems.
I too also wonder if the...
Ok I’ll play devil’s advocate. As an open sight guy, how can a good sight picture be obtained with an open notch rear sight that is placed at the very back of the gun. Most all usable blade sights are mounted forward of the receiver, actually on the barrel. The successful rear receiver open...
