Finally pulled my blue streak out and took my first shots with it. I can't believe I have had since February and not shot a single time before today... no rear sight, so aiming was interesting until I figured out a viable option. After some offhand plinking, I shot 50 yards off-hand to ring my bell. 12mph winds and 5 pumps. I didn't really want to stop shooting it, but alas....

Found the leak in .22 Nova Liberty, modify and install home made brass hammer weight. Shooting 25 gr. Slugs At 930-915 fps, it's ready for a plenum upgrade so until then I backed off the regulator (unknown what it's at now) to shoot Norma 17.6 at or around 880 fps. I have a new neighbor next door so I'm not shooting at home yet. Since it's a grey area(not really legal but if you don't cause issues the city looks away) I will be cautious for a while until I see if she is ok with it. Chrono testing at most for the moment. The second night she moved in I was shooting at my 2nd floor window eve for a raccoon at 415 in the morning destroying the siding with a hatsan blitz. My neighborhood is a mix of different backgrounds and I'm not trying to invite any drama.

It was at the plenum, there was no o-ring. I've never removed the plenum before but it was a used purchase off AGN. So I went through all my o ring kits until I found a replacement. I'd like to shoot it down and see what the regulator is set at but it's Easter tomorrow and I don't know if I have the time.

Just replaced the media in my Hill Evo compressor filter and happy to report there was no signs of moisture inside after 1 year of use. The compressor has a built in drain and there is always some water droplets present when it fires up, I let it run open for 10 seconds or so and then shut the bleeder.

Shows disassembly/reassembly, from there you could inspect parts for damage.
Just to ask the dummy question, you did cock the gun prior to trying to fill?

A wee bit more trigger tweaking on the HW30S today. They're getting interesting.

Shot my notos w the fx 600 mm barrel, Norma heavy 17.6 GR and it chrono at 600-700 fps. Didn't have time to troubleshoot shoot it. Was shooting same pellet w stock barrel at 820 fps. Don't have time to troubleshoot today. Put half payment on lcs sk 19 30 cal, next week it'll be payed off and shipped my way. Selling the hatsan blitz now.

Big day with the springers. Testing, zero, more testing, and shooting for fun. HW30S, HW50S, HW97KT, it's all good.
