I wouldn't use silicone grease. If you have any Moly grease use that. Great job on the tool you made!

I once suggested in a thread on a different forum that I could not understand why manufacturers continue to make air rifles with shrouds??? Of course there was a lot of push-back and personal opinions suggested on that thread. Shrouds on air rifles came about as a means to apply baffles to...

"What's your airgun passion"? What I mean is, what is your #1 reason you choose to shoot airguns? There are so many different avenues an airgun enthusiast might choose to follow. I think a lot of us airgunners believe that most other airgun shooters all follow the same path with their...

I did a Google search for, "physiological difference between vital organs of ground squirrels and tree squirrels". There is a lot of difference with what some organs do with regard to hibernation, or not. However, I didn't find anything that would suggest vital organs between the two species...

I just got back from a morning out shooting ground squirrels. Where I hunt the squirrels are not highly concentrated in a given area so a lot of walking and glassing is required. If you ever watched any of Dana Webb's ground squirrel vids..., I hunt that same way. I took the Falcon FN19 this...

I fired a target just so I could use it in a post. You can see it in the, 'Hunting Forum'. How's that for trying to drive views toward my post? :LOL:

I could right pages on this topic but no one reads long post unless they are personally very interested in the subject matter. So, I'll keep to the point. :cool: From your personal squirrel (ground or tree) hunting experience, do you find yourself going for more head/brain shots or more...

I totally understand about the crashed builds! I'll stop with this as I don't want to hijack Pumacarl's thread. :)

There are lot's of online RC hobby shops. Lot's of small hardware can be found at those stores that could be used in air rifle builds. Small shims come to mind, but also all sorts of tubing and sheet material.

Bill, I agree with everything you wrote here. During my life I have also been involved in about every form of RC vehicle. I raced in a National offroad truck series, I built and flew planes, helis (not drones), boats and rock crawlers. I also handled and manufactured parts from carbon sheet...

I'm sorry to be the person that goes 'against the grain' with this, but I'm being honest. I would not be interested in sharing rifle tuning info. in a regimented, form type format. I like being able to write what I want to share in my own words, and in the way I want to convey the information...

I have been dealing directly with AV on this barrel order. While it is taking forever to get the barrel, I have had excellent communication with AV about the status of the order.

I tried the .25 43.06gr in my Uragan2 700. Out of about 20-different slugs I have fired from the U2, these cast JTS were about middle of the pack. I measured several of these slugs and even though they are cast and not swaged, they were very round and consistent. :cool:

Fired 100-pellets total through several rifles this morning at 38yds & 50yds. Was some light, and switching wind according to my wind flags/vane. Was rewarding that the large majority of my wind holds were correct and the pellets were falling where expected. :cool: Other than shooting at...

I'm going to call Air Venturi this morning and try to get some info. about my Reximex barrel that has been on order for 4-months as of today! :mad: EDIT: I want to report that Air Venturi has what I consider, excellent customer service. They were very courteous and helpful during my call this...

Okay, I've learned my lesson. Me, my flip-phone and my shirt-pocket drop chart will stop polluting these 'ballistic' threads. I'm the opitome of the saying, 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks'. :LOL:

I don't disagree with what you wrote at all. But we all use ballisitic data in differnt ways and to different degrees. For me (as I've mentioned in other threads), very basic ballistic data is all I need for how I use it. And so, it would not be a value for me to pay for a program when there...

Any ballistic program I use needs to work on a PC, and be free. :)

I've used Tri-Flow for all lubrication parts in my airguns for decades. I put a dop of Tri-Flow on the o-rings of any fill probe every time I use the probe. My fill probe and internal o-rings last a very long time.

When I started this thread I wrote that my next air rifle was going to be an 'Epic Vision'. I gotta admit..., I've changed my mind. :oops: I'm really craving an FX DRS MK2 Classic Walnut with a 600mm barrel in .22 caliber. Just my style (old school) of rifle and the changes that FX made to the...
