Re: The New 2018 Forum

The new forum is not for me. I like to see all the recent posts in a concise list and then right click to open a new tab for the items I may be interested in. I only see five items for recent posts on the screen and none of the tabs for going to the latest unread post seem to work. Have a look at ho...

Re: Chinese high pressure compressors

From my observations, correct me if I am wrong, the main difference between the Yong Heng and the AceEagle is where the condensation trap is. On the Yong Heng it is situated between the first stage compression and the second. On the AceEagle the trap is after the second and final compression. Moistu...

Re: Chinese high pressure compressors

May I have the links to the videos you mention, thanks.

Normally it is easy to find on youtube but in this case nothing is showing for the Ace Eagle pump.

Re: Not maintaining zero

12 clicks is a hell of a lot to be down to environmental factors and by my calculations, it would need an MV increase of around 200 fps to account for it, so you can safely rule that out as the sole problem. Personally I'd have a good look at the scope and the scope mounts, in particular, what happ...

Re: Not maintaining zero

I have chrono'd it and the speed is the same ie. between 920fps and 935fps, as it was when I tested it last so no change. I have the gun adjusted to fire below 935fps as I had heard that if the speed was over 950fps you can get pellet wobble. I don't know how to work back from POI being 3.5cm high t...

No I wouldn't say it was new. I have fired just over a 1,000 pellets through it.

Several weeks later with the gun doing nothing but take up space in the gun cabinet and temperature now a nice 21C the gun was shooting 12 clicks too high (3 MOA). What can cause a...

Re: Magazine Problems

I think I may have spotted the cause of my breaking rubber rings,

I don't know if you can see the sharp shards of filings left over from the manufacturing cutting process. I am going to try and remove all the sharp edges and see if the problem goes away.

Magazine Problems

Hi All I have a S510 FAC in .22 and the rubber ring on my magazines keeps breaking. As you can see in the picture the ratchet is not doing it because the wear marks are quite central to the carousel but there are what looks like lead marks on the rubber. Has anybody else had these problems and found...

Re: Where have they gone?

Haven't seen one for months. Lots of buzzards though, do they catch them or just put them off venturing out in the day?
