Pinty's NEW Pistol and .25 Bullpup

[JimT66]

They are quick to give out free replacement rifles lately... I wish they'd send me a bad one and a good one too.

I hear you. Don't guess I could be lucky enough to get a .22 by accident. Lol. Anyway, the muzzle crown looks good, forgot to mention that. Am thinking possibly the cheap Chinese pellets I had maybe? They were snowpeak brand, in a plastic can.
Think when the new one arrives I will give it a cleaning, partially air it up, and put it away.

Got one in .177 and while temped to throw on a dot sight I concluded the open sights are perfect as is. Just needed to adjust the windage and elevation a little to hit the mark at 20 yards. I see some small game hunting going on very soon with this setup. Put the 0dB moderator on and it's pretty tame for the backyard and I definitely like being able to use the bipod for photo ops. Really my only criticism so far is the magazines could be better, I imagine they might not last long with continuous use. Hard to knock the whole package for the price, idk?

Excited to hear your views on the buster, and how it works out for you! That photo looks awesome.

If my eye sight were good enough I would use open sights.
But I am using a dot sight now.

I really like this PCP pistol for the money I paid.

Looks cool with that bipod and 0db moderator. Going to get the stock and some glass for it too?

Overview
Received the Pinty Buster .177 a few days ago.
All my pistols are in .177 since I am a target shooter.
It is accurate up to the 18 yards I tried with a dot sight.
If I had a better sight it would have been even more accurate.
I can say I really like it for the $230-$250 I paid for it.

Build
Build quality is really good, at least as good as the PP700 or PP750.
One thing the build I do not like too much is the synthetic (TPU ?) grip, but I can change that easily.
Magazines are good, but I need to gently push the pellets in (use a toothpick) since they don't just drop in.

It feels hefty, around 2.5 lbs, but is manageable with 2 hands.
It is heavier than the PP700/PP750 and slighly longer.

Trigger
The trigger may need more work.
After using only the 2 adjustment screws, I got it to under 3lb.
It is single stage and has almost no travel length , you pull, trigger barely moves and then it shoots.
The safety has a screw that needed to be tightened on mine.

Hammer spring
The hammer spring has about 3-3.5 turns from flush to max in.
The grip will stop it from going out of the receiver.

Stock hammer spring dimensions: OD: 8.5mm, Wire diameter: 1.25-1.3mm, Length: 43.7mm.

The stock hammer spring is way too strong.
With the stock spring I got a max of 850-860 FPS with Crosman Field Point 7.4 grains for all the hammer spring positions.

I replaced the hammer spring with a different one I made.
The new hammer spring was cut from a spring with a 8mm OD, 1.2mm wire.
WARNING: A spring with 9mm OD did not fit in the hammer hole.
I actually cut 2 of those springs, both shorter than the stock one.
One of the new hammer springs gives me a range of 420-720 FPS with the 7.4 grain pellets.
The other one 540-800 FPS with same pellets.

Shot string
With the stock spring I got about 850-860 FPS consitently for 20-30 shots (did not shoot much at this power).

With the lowest powered spring, I get 415-430 FPS cosistently for 120+ shots (got bored and stopped counting).
Perfect for target shooting up to 10 yards.

Noise
It comes with a 1/2-20 threaded barrel.
With the moderators I 3D print it become very quiet.

Some companies give you a permanently glued poorly performing moderator.
I am not buying the AIr Venturi Alpha because of that.

Conclusion
This and the PP700/PP750 are the best budget PCP pistols around.
Unfortunately the PP700/PP750 are not sold in the US.

The 250 bar fill pressure and larger air tank gives you way more shots than the PP700/PP750.
Lower price than what I paid for the PP700/PP750 5 years ago, including the thread adapter.

That’s interesting, I had thought the Buster was based upon the PP750? I knew the internals had to be different. Is the grip frame the same?

For the Vanguard? I believe Angel at Red Corn Outdoors has, or soon will have, mags for the Vanguard. He is my pinty aftermarket source.
