Is that a record?

On another note, though…….it’s the end of November and this strand has had 1000 reads! Clearly there are interested shooters out there who are reticent about joining the discussion. Come on Guys and Gals.…Read more

Others are claiming 200 is a more realistic number. I’ve never shot mine long enough to find out when the pressure drops past a useful level.
C02 isn’t as popular in the UK as it is in the States. As far as I know we can only access it for shooting as 12 gram ‘powerlets’ or 88 gram capsules. I have never seen…Read more

I was thinking 1500 psi, or would that be too low.

I definitely plan on getting a spin-loc tank, so I have a visual aid.

A manometer is an excellent idea, Ray. I don’t have that facility and generally top-up my tank after about 50 or so shots. I…Read more

I bought a pre-used ‘Gunpower Stealth’ but was unhappy with its very loud report and decided to make a non-engineered moderator as I have no metal machining facility. This project produced a moderator of 180mm (150mm beyond the muzzle end) and has been favourably compared wit…Read more

They are probably the opposite to every other rifle ever made. I am right-handed and cycle my Air Arms and BSA with my right hand (naturally) but cycle my Gunpower Stealth with my left so I don’t have any confusion. Try it!

When I search for this calibre on any search engine I come up empty most times except for the 3 major players as mentioned in Caboose’s posts. I’ll add Sheriden’s ‘Blue Streak’ to the list but I’ll stand by my previous statement that , in the UK, .20 is in it’s infancy and out of the reach of most pockets.

It looks as if the two are the same as the air inlet and manometer fit on the sides of the valve collar, where it abuts the tank body, thus the same overall length is maintained as the quick detach tank. As a matter of irrelevant info, the quick detach tank is the…Read more

At 2500psi you’re a candidate for the sub 12fpe strand. In the UK the recommended ‘sweet spot’ fill pressure is 170 bar (2500psi though I expect you know this) so it’s the right place to start. No point in wasting 30 bar from a full tank.

I have heard that after-sales service can be poor, that’s why Blackpool Air Rifles stopped dealing with Gunpower. It’s a shame to dump such a [potentially] good rifle as the Stealth over a grub screw though. Did you call Geoff at GP?
I hope you have better luck with the next rifle. I love my AA S200 but also fancy a…Read more

They won’t last as long as an o ring but, at the price, that’s OK by me.

I can find no manufacturers producing stock .20s apart from Weihrauch and Theoben and Daystate, all of which run into serious money.

You guys in the States have got it easy for shootin’ stuff. The Amazon price for this item is $5.54 plus postage at present (what a steal). In the UK we would have to pay the same company over $70!

Also take a look at a company called Dx.com and search for SKU: 114271

Good shooting!

The grub (set) screw is located about a 1/4 inch inside the muzzle The Stealth can also accept an aftermarket 1/2 inch UNF adapter held by the same screw.

For instance, a soft lead like AA Diablo might go un-lubed whereas a harder lead alloy like RWS Superdome would be helped by some Napier, for example?
