I have the standard in .25 and I don’t think I’ve seen a better built gun for the money I can’t personally say anything about long term reliability yet because I’ve only had it for a couple months but I’ve definitely put a few thousand rounds through it and so far I haven’t had anything malfunction…. Everyone seems so worried about being able to use a moderator but why the gun is so quiet you can’t make the projectile strike sound quieter and that’s about the only noise I hear when I shoot it. It’s dead accurate not pellet picky has enough power to 😵 foxes and raccoons for sure I’d say even bigger things depending on the ammunition and distance the main thing I don’t like is the shot count but I’ll get over it for a gun this nice it’s not even fair to the squirrels it’s so accurate I get bored of it but that’s a good thing… there’s just not much excitement in shooting at something I’m 97 percent sure I’m gonna hit😂 I’ve shot things from well over 100 yards and I’ve tried and own just about every kind of pellet and most of the popular slugs that are available and the only thing I’ve found is the light ammunition doesn’t perform its best at full power but you have a power wheel…. Use everything you have to your advantage 🤷♂️ I cut the power down to 4 and I can get the light ammo to group at least good enough to hunt successfully with all the ammo I have… I had previously said in other comments that the FX hybrid slugs were terrible in mine but I figured if I spent almost $20/100 slugs I’m gonna go out there and at least shoot them so I loaded a magazine with 10 of them and just started shooting at cans from random distances then loaded another magazine and shot a group from 33 yards with a fresh target and I had heard of seasoning the barrel but never seen anything drastic like that it went from 50/50 on paper to a dime can cover all 10 and 6/10 are damn near in same hole so I went and tried the light ammo on 4 power setting and everything that did poorly tightened up nicely but anything 24 grains up to around 32 was good for me I do want some of those maple 🍁 custom magazines 😍
I was looking at a Fx drs because it’s a good looking rifle, but this is nice too. And, importantly you like it. I have pushed my prod to its limit, it’s a good pester, this would be its replacement and maybe even the gen1 mrod in .25 I use for 80 yd targets and raccoon sized pests at closer range. Skunk at 80 ok, it is a very accurate rifle with a very nice trigger. Love the semiauto, the bolt lock, and the manual feature, and the simplicity. Can be tuned up or down in power and the locking hammerspring adjuster. Tempting for sure!
I also have the older AEA HPSSplus in .22 with a 10 inch barrel. I used it in last years cup. And placed 7th as I said. This gun with factory settings is pushing the same pellet just over 100 fps faster than the shorter one airgun. After the regulator settled in, I am now averaging 970fps with JSB 18.13’s. At 80 yards it’s deadly. If you do your part, soda can size targets at 100 yards are easy. The FX rifles are in a different price category, and have a different philosophy of use. JUST DO IT, You won’t be sorry!
To all the subscribers, I thank you for the kind words. I apologize for not making any videos for a while. We had something come up in the family and the area I used to make videos was no longer available. More videos about airguns will be coming soon. Not only new airguns, but videos about vintage airguns as well. Again, I want to thank everyone for their patience. Ian.
Does anyone have a parts diagram/breakdown for the .30 calibre Airacuda Max? The manuals for the .22 and .25 include the diagrams. The .30 does not. The critical o=rings in the breech area and barrel base are different between calibres and even with a micrometre getting the size right will be 80% educated guess and 20% measured value.
I translated the diagrams for the .22 & .25 caliber prototypes and measured the sizes needed for the orings. Since the platform was proven in those 2 calibers the .177 and .30 calibers went straight to production, bypassing the prototype stage. I don’t have a .30 caliber as yet from JTS. if I did I would happily do it again. I still say almost 2 years later, the value and accuracy you get for the money spent is hard to beat. Ian.
@@45bravoairguns4 I agree with your assessment of the product. I will measure the o-rings carefully and get back on this thread with the results I get
@@kimmer127 cool, please use a digital/dial caliper. Measure the inside diameter, outside diameter, and thickness of the oring. Most orings are sold by inside diameter, and thickness of the oring. Also they tend to be in whole and half sizes. Very rarely will you find a .25 or a .75 size oring on an airgun. I have found using 90durometer orings while harder to install work really well. Ian
@@45bravoairguns4 Yep I have a good micrometer like yours. I got the rifle broken down and started to document all the o-rings. The actual problem with my rifles is not o-ring related as it turns out. When I disassembled the valve it turned out that the plastic valve core identified as part 27 on the .22/.25 parts diagram is broken. I will continue inventorying all the o-rings and post the sizes here when I finish it. I plan to order BunaN 90 based on what you advised. Some folks seem to go with the softer N70 but you know what you're talking about so that is what we will do.
@@kimmer127 you didn’t get a extra set of orings with the gun? Measure those first! Easier than disassembling th3 rifle.
Exactly what I needed! Keep doing the lord's work
I got my Jts airacuda max 22 cal about 8 months ago and it still is going strong the longest shot so far that I’ve takin is a 2 inch target at 130 yards and the longest kill shot on a dove was 105 yards and I’m planning on seeing if I can make a 200 yard shot
Thank you so much for this video. Im contemplating purchasing this rifle, this was so informative. The best tutorial on it thus far. This will be my first PCP, and you made it easy to understand. Way more helpful than just seeing someone putting holes in paper.
Having owned this gun for almost a year, the modularity of this gun is un equaled in its price range . Here is a link to the Pyramyd AIR blog and a so far 9 part series of this rifle. www.pyramydair.com/blog/2024/05/air-venturi-avenge-x-precharged-pneumatic-air-rifle-part-nine/
How do you remove that white nylon washer at the foster fitting?
I used a small metal hook from harbor freight. It’s meant to remove orings. And cost about $5 for 4 different hooks.
Great video. I have been trying to decide between the two rifles. I just ordered the max. Hope i made the right choice. Just unsure of that thumb hole stock.
I have air passing thru both sides of barrel when I fill any idea why?
I made a block for the last chamber of the magazine so the bolt can't go forward when the last pellet is shot. This reduces the capacity of the magazine from 10 pellets to 9. But it means I won't be shooting blanks.
Thanks for the info, my buddy received his .25 standard this Wed. and it fires on de-cocking. bummer, my .22 max should be here tomorrow . We'll see what it does. 73
Thanks for the limited info. Wish you had finished the video with results etc. With that said I did learn what it takes, so thanks.
Thank you for making this video I have had two of these guns the first one I had to return because of a barrel issue, the reg on it in 22 caliber was set from the factory at 1800 PSI. The replacement I received was set at almost 2200 PSI. As far as quality control goes these guns are all over the place... thanks to your video I made the tool and went in there and set the reg at 2000 PSI and backed off the hammer spring about a quarter turn... pretty much shooting hole in hole 860ish fps with 18.1 JSB Diablo's for 30+ shots now.😮
Cubic in of each air tube?
After putting back everything together I'm not getting any pressure to the gage close to the trigger. After cocking the gun and pressing the trigger nothing happens. What did I do wrong?
after resealing the gun I don't get any pressure to regulator what did I do wrong?
Regulator valve may be stuck? (Closed) I had mine stuck open one time, but reset itself after a shot it started working correctly.
After putting everything together I don't get any pressure to the regulator does anybody know why ?
Hi ! Do you know where to buy the valve stem ? The people from JTS never answer phone and emails 😠 !
A friend of mine has a Airacuda max in 22 cal and it's been fully resealed twice ! Every seal in the gun has been replaced but it still leaks air !! Any suggestions of what to look for or try next ????
Good info. Are both triggers 1 or 2 stage? Adjustable, and to what point?
Ian, do you happen to know what size o-ring is needed for the rear pellet probe o-ring of the .22 caliber Avenge-X? I know the size for the front pellet probe o-rings, but I can’t find the size of the rear one. Thanks!!
This is very helpful! I'm looking to do the same with a new Avenge-X. So, I am correct that the procedure you used enabled you to determine that the hammer spring was initially set at 8-1/4 turns in? Then you backed it all the way out and started with 1/2 turn in, going up incrementally from there until you reached your goal? What confused me, though, is that you appeared to back it all the way out twice. Can you clarify the steps? Love your videos! Thank you very much...
Great idea with the teflon tape. I have one of terminator’s barrel harmonic reducer rings up front that firms it up. Also thought about loosening and moving the stock spacer up.
Noticed taking off my synthetic stock (at 3 turns in) the HS or housing was flush with the action. That would be 0 turns or all the way CCW with most guns. The avenge x from what I understand has a softer spring than the avenger. Probably why the AV x allows 8 turns over the AV’s 5. Softer spring but more adjustment.
I think you should just remove the castle nut and unscrew your butt stock. Much easier than what you showed....just a thought.
You do barrel removel video yet
I just ordered one of these with all the other goodies 2 days ago and I have seen tunes on the wooden stock but yours is the first on the tactical. Thank you so much for doing this as I had no idea the stock had to be removed for this adjustment. Thanks to you now I know. Liked and subscribed!!
Thank you,
Do you still recommend this gun, a year later? I’m seriously considering one in .22 cal, but I’m wondering if the known issues have been resolved. Thanks!!
mention what direction pls
Looks like you can remove the castle nut and remove the tube for easier access. Very nice rifle.🤠
Can sidelever move to left?? Thanks 🙏
Can sideliver move to left ?? Thanks 🙏
Put a folding stock mount and you just fold the stock and adjust.
@@45bravoairguns4 works on my modified Avenger, and modified Notos.
Just got mine and leaking already
Where precisely is it leaking? The gauge block area, the fill nipple? Where the leak Is happening will dictate how so repair it. Ian.
The regulator valve
Do you use the jts pellets that they make for your gun ,,,,I just purchased the gun and it's not broken in yet ,,,but was wondering what was your pellet of choice ,,,factory settings
It’s a tossup, the accuracy difference between the JTS 18.1 pellets and the JSB 18.13 pellets is negligible. The JTS pellets have a slightly larger head size and seat tight in the chamber. Try both, or choose which shoots best, or if price is a concern, go with the least expensive option. Here is a link to an article I wrote for Pyramyd AIR comparing the pellets in a standard Airacuda, and a Daystate. www.pyramydair.com/blog/2023/02/testing-jts-dead-center-22-caliber-18-1gr-pellets/ Ian
Detach from the buffer tube
Does your reg take forever to recharge after a shot?
No, it actually recovers fast, it came set at 2200 psi, and 2 turns in from all the way out.
@@45bravoairguns4 hmm
Love the vid. I'm looking for the rifle exploded diagram. I was on jts website
Here is a link, it’s at the bottom of the manual. static1.squarespace.com/static/621fcd748d0911333b1ef4cf/t/6375435fcaff5e22a7a9556e/1668629345758/MANUAL%2BJTS%2BAiracuda%2BPCP%2BAir%2BRifle%2B24MAR22%2BPRINT-merged.pdf
great video Ian, you saved me a call to PA. my grub screw got loose, and shroud moved forward till I got that grub screw centered and locked down the threaded end with the pin. thank you. I met you at PA cup. Tim S
Bravo, would your opinion be that this is the best rifle for the money,so far? Or is the Airicudu Max competitive? How about ease of working on? And simplicity?
Buen dia hay forma que se pueda quitar solo la culata del avenger x táctical. Si es asi me puede explicar gracias
So I've been using my Airacuda Max .22 for about a month, and the foster fitting began to intermittently leak. I emailed JTS customer support about if this is a repairable problem, and haven't heard a peep back from them. The last time I tried to charge the rifle, when I depressurized the charging hose, it dumped both rifle reservoirs and ejected the regulator body from the center threaded plug. Not very impressed with the one-way valve design, just a friction-fit screw holding an o-ring. Also when I disassembled the rifle, there was a 3d printed part fit between the stock and the receiver/action. With only one bolt holding the rifle to the stock, and that pressing on a PLA part, I'm not super impressed with the build quality here.
excllent.. 1/8 of a turn = PSI ???
I just own one of this. I'm Proud of it.
Where made sir..?

Where made sir..?
China. But a lot of gun for the money!
Thank you for the informative vids
Thank you for sharing I just got my 22 caliber tactical today and that part kind of confused me I thought it was one of the holes in the back. I've only had an hour with the gun so I didn't really mess with the tune I just kind of got it zeroed in and fired some jsb 18 grains. It definitely feels a little lighter than my 22 caliber avenger. I've only had the original avenger for a month and I fell in love with it. Glad I have both
Glad I could help. I always run a tin through a gun before I start tuning, just to let the parts break in so to speak, and let me get an idea of how it shoots from the factory. Then I start turning screws,…
Good to know. I'm relatively new to PCP and just got back into air guns. The most I've done on my original avenger in the past month is adjust the hammer spring slightly. I know you said you put a tin through but what are we talking 250 or 500ct? I'm not in a huge rush to start tuning. I like to find the guns preferred pellet / slug first My original is shooting 20 grain at about 890 -900 fps. My original.22 likes NSA .2165 20.2 grains, and for pellets, jsb 18.13 grain. I've tried seven other projectiles but none of the other ones were "bad" groups though. I did research before purchasing any PCP and I'm definitely not disappointed with the avenger series.
@@blindj yes the Avenger and AvengeX series were and are game changers. Personally I shoot about 500 rounds of different projectiles with factory settings, keeping notes about what weight pellets and slug’s perform best, then revisiting the best ones that show promise. The AvengeX does not seem to be pellet picky. I have not tried the NSA slugs as yet, but the H&N .217 show promise. So far the best performers in pellets are a tie between JSB 18.13, and the JTS 18.1 pellets. The JTS pellets seat a little harder in the bore though. From the factory mine was shooting the 18 gr pellets at 950, just a little fast for best accuracy Ian.
Great info for the second day in a row where I am so I don't want to bring my chronograph outside. I can shoot while it is raining from underneath my deck / sunroom however the chronograph does not work under there because it is too dark.. not sure what my avengers shooting 18 grain pelletsat yet. I do have FX pellets jsb pellets and h&n 21grain which was the favorite of my avenger as far as pellets goes. Accuracy seems to be great around 890 to 900 on most of the projectiles I've tried. I am actually legally blind and use a blind cane at night. So my shooting distance is no further than 50 yrs more often than not it's 25 yards. I thought I was all done with shooting because of my vision I am so glad I tried it again. I'm having a blast
@@blindj Glad you still get to enjoy the hobby,
