Mutant HST adjuster
Hey guys I now have thumb HST adjusters for the Mutant and soon Veterans. Making power adjustments very easy without the need for tools.

I see. Never took mine out to look but that makes sense considering how most everything else is well thought out.

Get the standard, If this is your first jump into PCPs get ready to have your mind blown away,
Not only are you skipping the starter guns, Marauders and the under a grand guns, You will be stepping up to a 1295 gun that is worth over 2000 dollars if a company like FX built it ,
Trust me , Beans and rice are a complete protein , And you will not regret the gun one bit,
The fun factor and the accuracy is off the wall.
Just do it man.

Mike,
I hear you and that is exactly right. Still have my old Benjamin 312 and with crossman premiums @ 14grs if you do your part, it does the rest with 7 pumps in her… It does have a new designed pump seal that is not leather 🙂
There is no telling how many rounds been down the tube of her either 🙂 Then over the years I have bought 5 or 6 that I have rebuilt and kept for who knows why, other than they are just that solid I guess. I have given that many more away to guys I have known that either needed one for a little person, or for them self 🙂
I have to say, the Mutants strike me as this type of pellet rifle too. Time will tell I guess! I still figure on getting one though. May have to be a standard, but I do still have hopes of a 50 pound .22 Long 🙂 Doesn’t mean I am going to shoot her @ 50 pounds though, probably just setup to shoot 30 to 40 depending on the pellet it likes best.
Right now it all seems to be a pipe dream 🙂 And that is ok I guess…

Back in my Marauder days before Zonk sucked me into the big dollar PCPs
I did a test with my 28 dollars 760 Crossman with a 3×9 bug buster scope on the gun, Ten shots at under a quarter at 30 yards.
sand bags and off an old kitchen table…
That’s why it flips me out for people to show there 1000, 1500, and 2000 dollars guns shooting targets at 30 yards and under.
I know my 760 opened up big time at 50 yards and the marauder kept them tight.

Thanks kidcurry, that would be nice to have an indicator. I think the finished product would cost triple the price for the complexity lol. Wish I knew how to do it. I am not sure about your mutant but mine has a green rubbery film that’s inside the thread. So when you tighten the side screw it doesn’t damage the hst adjuster.
and maybe a little nylon piece between the locking screw and adjuster threads…
Very nice Donny. You know what would be cool (albeit somewhat of a pita to machine) would be to have a smooth section between the thread and knurl with tiny grooves the same distance apart as the thread pitch. Each turn of the adjuster would show (or hide) another groove mark. Black anodize with white in the grooves….. then you could count how many rings were showing for a given power setting. Kinda like the markings on a micrometer barrel…

Hoot,
My old pumpers still shoot great, but not with any and all pellets. They do really good with the crossman prem. Its just when they start to get longer in length they start to widen the groups.
I use to love the old style yellow box Sheridan’s in .20cal… The new style has a more diablo design now. The old style was a straight pellet and my old 5mm Sheridan’s shoot the new one’s just fine, I just liked the old style better 🙂
Now these single shot, break over barrel types that I have, are considered the magnums, I have several of those from mild to wild and I can’t shoot any of them to my liking. I like shooting them but that reverse recoil I don’t shoot well at all. No matter the pellet 🙂
Heck I got some wrist rockets I shoot better than those, and it grips my butt I can’t shoot those rifle better. Some of them are really nice rifles too. Setup good as well…
And these new green pellets, they seem to be more hit and miss with these older pumpers…
:hoot:
My dear Round-Up,
Is it possible in the last 50 years it’s the new pellets at fault for your pumper’s declining accuracy?
I had an HW55 back in ’74, that shot Beeman Silver Bears at 700 fps. A magnum airgun for it’s time. It cost a small fortune back then…$155 USD, if I remember correctly. It never missed! I always thought it was the pellets with those ‘gas rings’ that gave me that performance. Today, they don’t even make the dome headed Silver Bears anymore, and I can’t hit squat!
So, is it me…or the new pellets? I wish I had a tin of those Silver Bears so I could find out for certain.

One thing I have seen for years now, just because its slow doesn’t mean it’s not consistent. I got some of the old pump up’s I had as a kid, they shoot from 500 thru 650 or so and they are just as spot on as when they were new, 50 years ago…
The one thing that does happen, has been the longer pellets that have come along in the last 15 to 20 years.
And these new green pellets, they seem to be more hit and miss with these older pumpers…
The .22 and .25 are different sizes. I hope he gets the .25 in soon. I’m shooting very easily to 115 yards now that I have a more accurate ballistic coefficient to use in Strelok Pro. My Chrony is accurate as I finally tested it against another. Yup, my Vet is shooting slow. I still haven’t upped the power as it’s shooting where Strelok says it will but do eventually want to up the power. I’ll be ordering one when you get those .25’s in. I’d like to shoot a flatter trajectory than I am at 805fps which is way slow…yet still accurate.
Now how cool is that, Donny your a genius ,
I have a Mutant 22 , and a Veteran 25 shorty?
Will it work,
Just drop me a Email when you get ready to ship
