Put your images under one another, not next to each other.
Crazy fool… 😀
*edit* Gimmie ya gun its lush… 8)
Is the little hole in the back the power adjuster?
Well fellas I got the hose and the adaptor…chucked it up on my AirForce yoke and– viola! ——-had 5 top offs on my Talon tank ..from my scuba bottle.. but my bottle still managed to pack 3100 lbs into the Sportsman tube—–its a little late though…..1:30am and the shroud is still in process.—- drilled the rear plate that covers the adjuster screw for easier access. —My first goal tomorrow- is to chrono this thing with the screw backed way out—wanna see shot count…..——- manual states from 232bar something like 3400psi — 30 powerful shots are availible —with this beast – I will eventually run it 85% throttled up filling it to 3000psi—I am guestimating 20 shots — and to me thats great enough…—btw the gun had about 1500psi in from the factory —at 1500 psi it shot an 18.1jsb at 857 — 😀 —more of my crappy pictures enjoy 🙂

Yeah, what he said:)
When you say ‘full shroud’ you mean one that covers the entire barrel? If so, where did you get it, and how does it attach.. does it screw in to the breach like a 410?
Nice gun now I want one, JD hope you like it.

[/img]—-These may be better pics—-scope just thrown on for photo op….=======I ordered my full shroud todayalong with tank de-pinger—–so more than likely i wont have any 25 yard groups to post—–but I am gonna head over to adventure outdoor tomorrow and find a bushnell banner used hopefully- if not something else ……
Nice! Just did a little research on that gun because of your thread. Seems like a winner. Shows us some groups when ya got a chance.
Congrats JD….You will like it when you get it filled…It will flat sling some
pellets an if it doesn’t then tighten the hammer spring…That will do it for
sure…..Cock the gun before you release the breech bolt…That will allow
the magazine to work properly…Otherwise it tends to skip a pellet or
unwind all the way to the end…..Rich in Mich makes a great LDC for it for
$60.00 shipped…..

……—this thing has some air in it right out the box—-found that out then shot a 18.1 thru the chrono 857—-doubt there is a bunch of air in here-probably just something for the seals.— I like this rifle—hose didnt show up today but – should be here tomorrow… cant wait to fill it to 3000—i can tell that things will smooth out quite well with a few hundred rounds thru it—seems like it gonna be really powerful—with no ldc seems as loud as my 18″ .20 cal SS with no ldc——will be waiting for ldc…-[/img]
Yeah Pab thats something else… Some things here are pretty wild too…BTW the pellets are here—all in great shape from PA… come on FEDEX….
About the only thing Brits’ can make well anymore is guns. (We are the worlds largest exporter of weapons
London Britain was the world’s biggest arms seller last year, accounting for a third of global arms exports, the Government’s trade promotion organisation said.
UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) said that arms exporters had added £9.7 billion in new business last year, giving them a larger share of global arms exports than the United States.
“As demonstrated by this outstanding export performance, the UK has a first-class defence industry, with some of the world’s most technologically sophisticated companies,” Digby Jones, the Minister for Trade and Investment, said.
UKTI said that the figures were boosted by orders for Eurofighter Typhoon jets from Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest arms buyer, which has imported $31 billion (£16 million) in weapons over the past five years. There were also orders from Oman and Trinidad and Tobago for offshore patrol vessels.
And I have to jump through hoops to have my FAC… 🙄
May all be here today—Fedex on the truck for delivery (BSA gun)—JSB 18.1s/15.9s and FTSs UPS ground out for delivery—QC hose and adaptor thing UPS ground out for delivery as well…will post when it arrives……
NJ is today gonna be a big day for you as well?
I think I heard you can adjust power on some of the models, I have been thinking of BSA, a nice short one.

Good job JD..857 with an 18.1 is great with only 1500psi….Think about
finding a plug for the hole you drilled in the end cap…I isn’t absolutely
necessary just a nice way to finish it off…Can’t wait to see the chrony #’s
and targets…I’ll bet that shroud will really make that thing great to
shoot…You just can’t beat that rifle for the price. It beats the new
Marauder hands down in power, accuracy, and quality straight out of the
box…You won’t regret it…
