Hey all, Is there anyway to empty the resevoir on this rifle without dry firing a bunch of times? I want to work on the gun, but it is full of air and I want to empty it. Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I applied thread lock to the screw on tip of the barrel and hand tightened it and backed it off 1/8th of a turn and left it to dry. I need to empty the gun before I shim the probe and open the pellet stop, but I will do that before I test with the rb. The thing jammed almost every shot with the pellets. I couldn't even fit a pellet in the right hand single loading side because the hole was toby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
OK, I fired off an email to that hamradio site and asked to purchase a 66cuft fg tank with a scba assembly. Will that do for me? does it make a big difference with fiberglass as opposed to carbon fiber? I can always get the cf if it makes it better. Has anyone dealt with this site before? is it realiable stuff? Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Bottom line.... I need to spend hundreds of dollars in order to use tanks for top-ups. I was hoping to avoid that!! Oh well, I guess I'll just keep pumping for now. Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Can I take my Din valve off of my Scuba tank and put it on my paintball tank? Are they the same thread and size? Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
The bottle I have has a valve and regulator, but the regulator is only good for 850psi output, for paintball. Thats' what tank I have. I just figured that I could put a different regulator on it to allow for 3000psi output. Its a carbon fiber 4500psi tank with 68cu inches. Thats what I want to do. I want to use this tank as a top-up tank, rather than spending 700 dollars on the air-hog tank, Iby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I checked those today, they really are expensive, around 600-700 dollars!! Why hasnt someone come up with a 68ci/4500psi carbon fiber paintball tank that ouputs like a scuba tank does with no regulator? Is this not possible? If not, why? Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Where can I get these parts? I feel that I am so lost. Aren't Din's used on Scuba tanks?, is the screw in the same diameter on a smaller hpa paintball tank? Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I got another question for yas! Ok. I have a 68/4500psi carbon fiber tank. How can I get it to act as a small top off station? I want it to output 3000psi or more. Can I do this? I don't want to make a 4 tank tier system. I just want this small tank to top off after each full power shot, so basically around 150psi each fill. I should get a few top offs from that.

A Cooey is a .22 rimfire rifle. Mine was made in the 50's. They were known for their accuracy and apparently everyone had one back then. It's magazine is an under barrel spring loaded tube capable of 10 rounds. Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Well, I got out and tested the career. You guys weren't kidding, the EunJin pellets suck. Also, they dont feed well into the loading port, it's like they are too big I think the pellet stop has to be adjusted. Very inaccurate indeed. I wasn't able to group anything smaller than a frisbee at 20 yards, it was pathetic!! I am hoping that the roundballs that I ordered perform better.by hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
It's killing me!!! I haven't even fired 1 pellet through it yet!!!! I guess I'm so used to using military toys that I find it hard to see how air can squish the projectile into the bore. The airgun bigbore world is new to me. But from what your all telling me, it is no problem! I am going out to the cottage Friday night and will be doing some testing on Saturday. The only problem is thatby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
OK, I'm a bit confused as to sizing. You guys are telling me that the best roundball is .360 The Eunjin pellet is .352 at the head and .360 around the skirt. I can manually push the head into the muzzle and it's tight, if I try to put the skirt in, it doesn't even start to fit. I understand that the skirt will squish to fit because it is hollow in the cup, but how on earth is the .360 roundby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
So I placed the order from Will Bilozir for the 000 buckshot and I also got in touch with the bullet barn and they said that I can get the 38 RNFP BB 130gr .358L and they can use a custom die to make it .360 The bullet is 9/16's in length, here it is; Is this a good bullet or is it something I have to try first?by hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
That's insane!!! Freakin fishing lures, whodathunkit?! Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
QuoteGary Barnes Lee has a pistol bullet mold that looks good. It's for a 125 grain, which I suspect is a decent match for you. A two cavity mold it only $18.99 including the handles for it. That's absurd. Other manufacturers charge $30 or more for the handles alone! The two cavity mold is #145-006 It's in .358" It's at www.midwayusa.com .... or 1-800-243-3220 Hope it helps.

So then, what and where would the best slug be for my rifle. I already know what roundball fits best thanks to you guys, and I have some on order. I don't want to go through ballistic products because of the $250 minimum order thing. Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Generally speaking, at 100 yards, which is traditionally more accurate? Round ball or Conical bullet? Physics and aerodynamics dictate that the conical will be more accurate based on design, but from what I am hearing here, the round ball will be way more accurate? Is this the case? Is it because the lowered velocities? Do conical bullets perform better at high speed rather than sub-by hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Btw, I did order from trackofthewolf. I got roundball in .360 and .500(for the Farco) Now on the site it had a list of roundball sizes and I clicked on the .360, so I hope that it means the actual diameter is .360 and not .358 or something. Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Me thinks ye all been handlin da lead fer wey tooooo long!!!! Mighta got inta yer bloodstreem er sumtin!! So am I to order a Lee mold in .358 or .360, what would be better? If I understand correctly, the roundballs are much more accurate that the conical are and stay away from Hornady. Can I get a mold from Jerry? Or even have him send me some roundballs and maybe some conical for testingby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

I just got a response from someone here in Canada and boy oh boy the balls on this guy!! He sells ammunition and such from Canada and he is willing to sell me 1 8lb bottle of 000 buckshot from ballistic products for $50+tax+shipping!!! That's completely retarded!! Why is buckshot so expensive?? I can't find anywhere here to buy this product!! Chrisby hollowjacket - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I checked out ballistic products and they won't ship to Canada unless I put an order minimum of $250!!! WOW!! I guess they aren't hurting for business!

One other thing, how do I shim the bolt probe? Do I have to discharge the gun prior to opening it up? Are the screws that hold the valve part of the casing? Do I just glue on a strip of can aluminum to the underside of the bolt probe or do I wrap a piece all around it? I know, again with the questions, but you can never be too sure!!

I think I am awestruck by the power of the monster that you have over 700fpe!!!! That is by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen in any gun!!! I mean, I have shot many weapons throughout my career and slept with them and cleaned them and basically married the damn things, but when you come over the fence to the airgun side of things, it's just another world all together.

So, what is the namebrand and size of ammo I should be using so that I can order some. Where can I get it and how much will it cost me. I don't want to be stuck at the 25 yard range when it boasts 100yards, thats why I bought it. Also. I just purchased an 80cu ft Scuba tank that is still good hydro until 2014 and has a K/valve.

Ok..... I think you've lost me. Alex, the diagram that you made is not like the Career 707 9mm Ultra. It is a sidefed stick clip of 5 pellets, not a rotary clip.

Ok, here's something else. I want to get away from having to pump all the time, so I want to get a scuba tank. What do I need to have a setup ready for the career.

OK, heres a hard one. I know that its a big trade secret amongst gunsmiths, but here goes. The Farco that I have is a .50cal air shotgun, but I use it for slugs as a rifle. The only problem is that it is a smoothbore. I want to rifle it but have to clue where to start. It is solid brass, so shouldn't it be an easy task to cut into the bore for rifling?
