What'cha doing air gun related today?

A special ops recon/assault squad of aluminum cans suddenly attacked this morning. They must have advanced on my position at night and laid in wait until my support units left for school and work, leaving me alone and vulnerable.

It was a short but intense battle. Fortunately for me, I managed to kill the squad leader first with a quick pistol shot, temporarily discombobulating the squad, allowing me to gain the high ground and the upper hand. They were cunning and fierce adversaries and fought hard and valiantly, but ultimately I emerged the victor and prevailed.

Ya keep shooting , hold your mouth right, i like to keep a clean barrel 250+/- shots or if somthing starts looking funny ..lol

I aslo like clean pellets so i wash and rinse well and lube . Im no marksman but i think i do ok for a R9 on stock irons using crosman hollow points.

I started making 75y my more full time range using 2 to 3" bulls .. ( bean can, snuff can lids painted black or colored in circles with a broken crayon). I just rest the forend only on a old tee-shirt stuffed sock. But don't forget Rome was not built on a day .. i could not do all that new out of the box . The 3 "P's"

Practice
Patience &
Plenty of pellets ( well thats 4 p's i guess)

Then add your hold, trigger pull, and follow through

Good advice for any airgun. Thanks for approving my join request. Many years experience with crossman pumps and recently purchased a Ruger single pump with nitro tech. Time will tell on that.
Very interested in PCP but need to know much more before I pull the trigger...pun intended. Thanx Again everyone

Nice battle armaments, glad you survived to fight another day. Those can squads are wily.

Hello @Greg and welcome to HAM.

Another round of Fall for Pumpers today. Shot my Anniversary Legacy 1000, 10m and then 20 yards. 3-5 pumps. Used a uline catalog like it was a phonebook to see how much it would penetrate, including one shot at max 12 pumps, plus a tin can to see if it would penetrate, and slynger targets. Then shot it about 40 yards to ring my bell.

Session had me feeling good, so took some super slow motion videos including shooting fingernail sized acorn from 10m first try. Topped it off with a can cutting of 7.5oz can in 28 shots.

All done off-hand with factory irons, in 8-20 mph winds. Was the perfect start to the week.

Did some adj on the pressure switch in my F10 shoebox. It was turning off before the tanks reached 4500 psi. I've had it for over 6 years and I guess the spring got a little tired. It took a bunch of turn the adjuster slightly and run it. Repeat! Repeat. Repeat until I got it right.

Not today but recently I finished building a rifle case for my Zelos.

My girl says she’s loves when I bring that BPE to the table…. AKA Big Plenum Energy …. Testing the the new 100cc plenum for the Karma EQ will commence shortly.

Beyond that I was in Alaska visiting my daughter this weekend so I haven’t shot a darn thing other than a bit of espresso in a cup haha.

tuned the Leshiy 1 for 25 cal Hades at 30 fpe. Huma reg is set at 110 bar, 15 clicks of the HS.
I also saw this pouch recently posted by someone with single shot. I tied it to the Leshiy with paracord, it’s going to work great! Pellets with the rifle.

I got a couple of mags for my Reximex Tormenta Lite 25 caliber. One of them wouldn't even go into the gun. Poor quality control for sure. I'll call PA on monday and get them to send me a replacement.

How you like the Tormenta lite? Not read or heard much at all about it. All I really know is it looks good anyway.

And w/ single shooters to boot ! Skill & luck were both on your side . In between pain meds (tooth trouble, root canal ahead) , I slipped down to the Man Cave & exercised several PCP's & the Gx compressor. I tried some newer 20+gr pellets out for velocity & did some speed reduction on the Stoeger Ranger .22 now that the Ghogs are pretty much off the critter list for this season. Should get a few more shots off before grabbing the air hose now.

Naah Greg! Jump on in! Seriously, if you thinking PCP, right now, before they run out, Pinty has the .22 pup with free scope, for under 300.00, or the single shot "tactical" under that as well. Or jump on they new .25 cal pup, like I did today, for 259.00 including free shipping and tax. most all the pcp's at 3000 to 3500 fill are hand pump friendly, providing you not like me, an old broke down geezer. Just get a decent 3 or 4 stage hand pump, like a 4 uncles brand off fleabay. You don't have to have the 'lectric pump till you get sick of pumping.
With Black Friday coming, lot of the PCP prices gonna come way down for the sales, so that will make it even easier.

Received new handrail for my MAX1 from EVOLVE 3D. He is a great guy to work with and his products are top notch. Saw he had a hand rail for the NOTOS and ZELOS so inquired about the MAX1. Sent him images and measurements and he modified his product to fit my MAX1 perfectly. Now waiting on someone to make a video of opening the ports to let this thing breath.

That's a nice upgrade. That handrail is a great edition to the rifle!

@Dogowski- Thank you much better feel than the printed one I had on it. Has many slots to add accessories also.

That pistol looks awesome.
What breech and what moderator?

 

[Florida_Man]

Missed a recording opportunity. A small raccoon showed up. I turned off the auto recording while I waited for it to come back into the KZ. I stuck a perfect 25 cal hades head shot. It hit the ground like a ton of bricks and did 3 flops and died right under the place I shot it.
This was several minutes prior. I actually shot it standing on a platform I built above the feeder. It was looking directly at me.
I’ve been trying to catch this one for a month. It makes my neighbors dog go crazy at night.

 

[Hylander]

I polished the barrel of my new low price rifle. I completely removed the barrel and all o rings. I pushed some pellets to get a feel, and felt rough.
Autosol
J-B Compound
J-B Bore Bright
Pushed pellets and feels smooth now.
Loading pellets feels a lot nicer.
I shot 5 round groups at 10m, this was more to season the barrel.

I was using one of these. Good for casual shooting, terrible for precision

Looks like you did good job.
What is the rifle though?
