Just in case anyone’s getting any ideas, I’m testing the backstop. I know if I hit the target It won’t blow through it.😉

I was gonna ask what is the metal thickness u used? I know my S510 30/32fpe was murdering my dad's cheap steel saw horses. I had plywood on it as my target...being an AA😋 it just kept smashing one big hole in the wood and then the sawhorse behind it, decided then and there to make my pellet trap (1/8th steel). Nothing got through but I made some serious dents in saw horse....oops.

It was just some galvanized roofing material that I had laying around. By the way, as the father of a once destructive offspring, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your statement. But what can you do, sometimes life comes full circle lol when I was little my grandfather told me “Son you could tear up an anvil”.

I put the Pard DS35 on my Concept Lite and sighted it in. Worked on my project Bullshark, seems like I blew the exhaust valve.

Could you talk about that bullshark some? I tried looking through your posts, but all I found was you talking about wanting one. I’m sure I could search it, but maybe you could tell me about it.

I got it on AGN as a project rifle. The guy I bought it from bought it from a person that tried customizing it, but that guy wasn't very good at gunsmithing. All he told me when I bought it was the original owner tried installing a huma reg and plenum, but it leaked. The original owner also said it shot knock out slugs well. I believe the original owner went power crazy with it and failed. I just want a pellet shooter. The huma plenum and reg are the same in the notos/pp750. The o-ring size provided by huma don't seem to be right. I removed the huma stuff and reinstalled the factory reg and it held air. I test fired it today and it was shooting 260 fps, I adjusted the hammer spring up and got to 360. Degassed and adjusted the factory reg a bit. Then it was shooting 450ish fps with the hammer spring screw flush at the rear. I did two turns to increase hammer spring. The next shot I had air leaking out the barrel. So it will be fully torn down next week. I hope it is just an exhaust valve. I have a PEEK valve I bought for my P35 25 cal. I will probably swap them all around if that seems to be the issue.

The rifle was missing 4 M5 screws when it arrived also, but that was easy.

When you break it down if you could post some photos of it that would be great.

S200 got its first squirrel. It moved as I shot and I caught the shoulder. It couldn’t escape my JRT. I called her off and put the next one through its head. It was a very cautious and twitchy one.

Sounds like the S200 deserves its own Hunting thread. I think it would be great… what’s the worst thing that could happen? 🤣

I’m planning a 10x scope and a scope cam. I’m trying to decide if I want to change the lens out in a GoPro I have to use a 75/25 Eaglevision. I don’t use the GoPro much. I really wish the DS35 would record 120 fps.

I look forward to seeing whatever you decide to go with. With what I have right at the moment, any of those things would be a waste of money but with that S510, perhaps that will change. Supposed to be available tomorrow 🤞
 
Sat in ambush on my back porch and made some starlings the stars of the show with my Zulus…

Zulus made stars of these starlings…

All shots at 20 and 35 yards (suet cake) Atomic XR sending CPHPs… At these ranges the Crosmans simply devastate them with proper shot placement. Center mass and down they go… The reticle on the screen is much, much, sharper and legible to my eyes than through the viewfinder. The reticle options...

Had to go to the inlaws for supper today but shot 2 mags with the ghost with the new Helix scope first! Absolutely love it but the zero stop was set high and I didn't have time to mess with it...that or I can zero it for 50/60 yards😅. Was trying for 40...The circled group and the one (typical🙄) MRD 25g flier. Gun is on point if I could just get it zeroed, no time, bad weather, junk first scope....🥺😢😭 I'll be OK. First time EVER having to click down on a new scope to zero!

They put the valve spring in backwards, I hope that is the only thing.
unfortunately a C-clip that holds the trigger linkage snapped while I was removing it, so I have to measure and order one of those. They are really small and hard to get off with my old eyes. I will post the size, i recommend having one and planning on using a new one. It's a cheap part.
