What'cha doing air gun related today?

Do you find any merit in using a pellet sizer? I haven’t really looked into it, but it seems like weighing and sizing a pellet would be beneficial.

Not a resizing tool, I meant a pellet sorter.

I don’t know about that zan pellet sizer but you can buy a pellet head size checker which can be very beneficial especially for jsb 10.3. 13.4’s are usually slightly oversized in head diameter and dont really need it 10.3 can sometimes be too small. I had 3 tins that were too small for the head sizing gauge and shot terribly. Shooting field target i just weigh the 13’s and shoot the oddballs for practice

What pellet did you use...maybe I'm blind?

I used some H&N 14.66 grain pellets. You're not blind. I never mentioned it.

I really enjoyed shooting my Pinty Buster. Regardless of the budget PCP Pistol category it punches way above its weight. It's been sold out since Christmas for many good reasons.

They are available for pre-order, at a discounted price, though.

If anyone wants the Buster I highly suggest you order one now because it will sell out again. These airguns are the real deal.

Hooked up a buddies alkin compressor today, and tested it out. Worth the money for sure!!

Really great compressors for sure. Too rich for my blood

Running some numbers on the TX 200. Interesting to find that the tight h&n pellets had a larger SD than the relatively loose JSB. Supposed to be the same size.

I stopped washing and lubricating pellets more than a year ago. I personally found it to be a waste of time, didn’t change anything. ymmv

You could try shooting some clean and lubed and some as they are and judge for yourself.

All I do now is tumble in a rag at most just to get all the flakes off of it’s a dirty tin.

I’m glad that some of the pellet manufacturers have decided to put the foam inserts in the tin seems to help collect some of debris, not sure if it helps with preventing any damage though.

Makes me wonder what HM might say. He would probably think that they are just cheating everyone out of some pellets lol.

I was disappointed in a tin of Benjamin single die I have. Has the foam, a harder compound, and still bent skirts.

I'm going to try the 70 hardness Oring in the reg bore in my impact to see if it will seal it up.

It has a 90 in there now.

Zeroed the HW30N today. Decided on the H&N FTT in .20 cal.

 

[Madhatter]

Well so far it works!!! I installed a 10.1 x 1.6mm 70 Oring where FX uses a 10 x 1.5 90. I guess it put just the right pressure on the Oring groove to seal the scratch.

I’ve been working since yesterday on getting the inletting 3d modeling for my new Sonoran stock in Fusion 360. I’m trying to decide on a Free Recoil benchrest style (similar to Thomas) or a chassis style stock with a skeleton butt stock. I’m thinking of selling my CNC equipment, so I might have to mill a laminate stock for it, either way it’s easier to get the fit right with some 3d prints.

Took first shots with my Crosman Vapor Max. Put about 61-81 rounds through it today, including some "speed shooting". The magazine is decent enough (I think it is the same as the Gamo Swarm mags), can only engage the safety or pump air after opening the bolt, pump handle needs cleaned of excess lube and feels gritty, the foam pump "cup" felt dry and questionable, and I could feel the stock flex during pumping where my original was broken at upon delivery. But it was accurate from 10m to 31 yards, straight out of the box with usa CPHP pellets.

Scored the cleanest most mint Crosman 761XL I've ever seen, and in very good shape a Crosman 2100 Classic, with the white scrolling on the receiver, at auction a few weeks ago, for a fantastic low price! They both just arrived today. It was a combination bid lot. The online photos did not do them justice. Will post pics when I get a chance.

It looks like I have slain the air leak beast!! My impact hasn't lost 1 PSI in 24 hours. I used a slightly larger Oring (about .004 larger) and instead of a 90 duro I went with a 70 duro. I'm guessing the slightly larger Oring and the softer rubber allowed it to flow into the tiny scratch and seal it.

Smacking the steel with the HW30S today. Sweet little rifle. I love this thing.
