Did not do full shot strings, it was still pretty cold and I just wanted to see where I was at. JSB Kings went around 850fps, Barracudas went about 800fps and Field Target Trophys at 930fps. This is plenty fast enough for me, the accuracy was excellent at the ranges I wanna shoot. When I do spend…Read more

I did think about doing it that way, I think if I called airforce they would help me with what I needed. If I need to go high flow then I figured just get a tank and keep my stock tank to use with the .177…Read more

All calibers have the same valve unlike the condor that has one valve return spring for .177 and another for .20 .22 and .25. I don’t think any airforce rifle comes with the micrometer tank, its just offered on its own. I did find a post here on the forum last night after…Read more

I put on a 24″ .177 barrel and was able to get the same accuracy with only 2000 psi fill pressure, so I got more shooting from my tank. Now I am gonna go .25 because I like shooting at longer distances (75+) and the .177 pellets…Read more

I’m willing to pay more to order from them because of the service I get. Reliable shipping, easy returns and you know before you order if its in stock or not.

Figure out how many turns/clicks you have from center to bottom and split the difference. That should keep you from having problems due to being at the end of your erector tube travel, you will have more room to click up without going too high either. Main…Read more

Roachcreek, I’m in Indianapolis, the place I shoot is where I grew up. My family has owned it a long time, Its south east of Indianapolis.

There were a few people using them in MRods with .30 cal tjs barrels made for the jsb pellets. One of the guys worked with a reloading company to make a mold set for them.

Both went away with use. This was a slight squeek, not very loud, but noticeable. If your guns noise is loud I’d send it back, better to wait a little longer than have a gun with something wrong with it.
