Partly because I’m happy at 860. Mostly because I stripped the inside of one of the set screws and need to take the adapter to work to get it pulled out. Grrrrr.

I was actually going to reduce the gap to see if I could save air without a huge impact on velocity–but I’ll end up going both ways and including power wheel settings,…Read more

Ranged from 869 to 876 fps with the PW right on the bottom. I’m happy. Tried turning the PW up to 4 and only got a couple FPS out of it. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try turning it up further.

I’ve got some Uen Jin 16.1’s coming. Eventually. Backordered. Sigh. Be interesting to see…Read more

Sounds like it’ll do exactly what I want it to do: push a CPH 10.5 down the pipe at 950 fpm +/- and do it a lot of times on a fill. Local paintball shop gets $3 for a fill. Can’t hardly buy the setup for a scuba tank for that!

Excellent…Read more

That’s outdoors in 40 degree temps with hand warmer packs on the tank and insulated a bit.

Shooting as fast as I can comfortably reload it seems to be pretty stable at the 650 area. And the groupings also indicate pretty stable speeds.

I find it’s a great set up for target plinking, but I’m…Read more

If the only way to post pix is to go through PhotoBucket it isn’t worth it.

I don’t feel so bad about my wooden stock, now! 😳

I bet someone can tell me . . .

I could look it up. But that would be work. And it’s dinner time. And I’m hungry! 😆

And swinging targets and silouettes, also in the back yard.

Up Nort’ it’ll be used to shoot at anything that looks like it needs a hole punched in it. That includes sparrows and starlings (only non-protected birds I can shoot), squirrels in season, and pine cones,…Read more

You can both kill a crow for the cause. AKULA

You’ll soon have pure hell to pay when you decide that you need that .22 or .25 barrel.

Nah, barrels are cheap. I can sneak them in under the radar. Same with scopes, mostly, if I don’t get carried away. A 4500 PSI carbon tank and a nitrogen tank to fill it might be hard to…Read more

I’ve been trying to decide what to do for a stock. Might have to copy parts of your idea! I have a bunch of 2+ inch thick walnut gunstock wood from the old Herter’s stock factory in the Waterloo, Iowa, area. My aunt got a car load of it about 40 or 50 years ago and I ended up with most of it. Been thinking about…Read more

I qualified both ways with the M16 back in the Day.

Once the Condor gets here and I get used to it I think I’ll start alternating days or somesuch. No sense being limited.

Gotta get the Gamo Compact out and do the same with the handgun.

Not exactly on topic, but not too far off, I’m thinking.

CO2 is temp sensitive since it’s an evaporating gas. At lower temps it generates less pressure. Is the issue with TANK temp, or temp in the adaptor/receiver?

If it’s tank temp, why not put a thin layer of neoprene on the tank and slip a chemical heat pack…Read more
