Actually I am very happy with the way things worked out. Watch the video to see the results.

Lets see if I can post a couple of pictures. By the way this is an older tank from June 99″ and it had no hole on the valve collar to help break it loose hench the pipe wrench marks even though I place…Read more

My plan was to get the Altaros regulator and then a Talon Tune CF tank, that way I would only be adding about 5/8″ overall to the trigger pull length. That means the trigger pull length will go from about 14″ to 14 5/8″. I am of medium stature so that is a pretty long reach for me. This will be a plinking…Read more

I was going by the size of the 48 cu. inch verses the Talons approx. 30 cu. inch tank and thinking about the increased size of the JSD tank with the weight stated of about the same. Anyway I am learning. Now back to my question is any body using any of the JSD tanks with the Altaros…Read more

I was able to remove the bolt sleeve screw handle by jambing two nuts and a lock washer together and backing it out. There was a learning curve to taking apart and putting back together the barrel assembly. Of course this is old hat to all you experts. I was surprised at the lower quality of…Read more

In my opinion determine the distance and level of accuracy needed for your target. Starlings don’t require a lot of energy to kill so I would think about any pellet you can hit them with will do the job. Depending on the power setting and fpe your rifle is set at…Read more

When I go out with my firearms to hunt groundhogs it will be for 3 to 6 hours. I never walk around with a round in the chamber until I see a groundhog and then chamber the round.

It has never had any maintenance done on it but still shoots and functions great. I would like to go over it and replace o-rings and clean internals but was advised if it is working don’t fool with it till it starts going downhill.

The only thing I wanted to know was how they got the tank apart so I could do maintenance or maybe install a Altaros regulator in the future. As this is an older tank it does not have the removal hole drill in the collar for easier removal. I watched Pandemic video…Read more

The marks are up on the neck. I see now way I caused these by installing the tank. I will get the hydro test done and hopefully it will pass and save me from having to buy a new tank.

The tank has never been tested or out of my hands. The problem is Air Force is only recommending someone on the West coast to do the testing and I’m on the East coast. Its sounds to me from you guys and others that there should be someone local to do the hydro test. I just thought it might be more specialized with the…Read more

They said it definitely sounded like a pump problem. I sent the pump back today. They were good enough to say they would send me a new replacement pump out today.
