Great Point about marksmanship. Too many air gunners just shoot off the bench and really have no formal marksmanship skills, and never competed in form of riflery.
Hey Brother, I must give you the respect that you deserve. Hats off to you. Everything that you pointed out is true, dating back to old slugs, polishing barrels, tuning hammers, getting to know your rifle, ect, ect. Great Job.
Excellent commentary! Sorry for such a belated reply, as I just today accidently happened on this video. As someone, who a year ago didn't even know airguns existed, I'm on an accelerated quest for knowledge and experience. So please continue producing these videos, I will certainly be watching and learning as your newest subscriber. Shooting firearms in my early teens and during my military tours, I always applied the acronym "BRAS (Breath Relax Aim Squeeze)" to control my breathing and heartrate. I think so many shooters of all variants, do not know these simple little tips to better shooting. And you're so correct that these air propelled devices are truly Amazing! I wish I had got into the sport much earlier. The start up costs are less to be desired, but indeed worth it. I greatly appreciate your expertise and candid breakdown of this sport and its' equipment. Looking forward, to getting current on all your videos, as well as your future upcoming videos. Best of success to you...
Thank you very much that’s what I’m putting my mouth or four guys who are new to this check out Air Force Texan I’ll assess if you’re a long ranger that’s what you want
Man i miss my Sheridan blue streak, i knew exactly what that projectile was soon as you showed it, and yes they were some awesome airguns, good video sir, btw i still have a box of those 5mm Sheridan cylindrical pellets which are actually slugs. Great information as well, i look forward to more of your videos, and subscribed too.
So you know how it was when you tried regular pallet I remember buying Bement silver jets they were pointy they looked like a missileI ordered them in a magazine and I was super excited to get them I’m thinking they’re going to be unbelievable I sure am out of the gun and they’re all over the place
I have been an air gunner for about forty five years myself. You know what you are talking about, no doubt about it. I can tell you have a lot of fire arm experience also. The hammer strike has been what I feel is the first culprit in accuracy in air guns for years. I liked my pump up Benjamin way better than any spring piston because the moving wieght before the round even starts to move. Will subscribe! Good luck!
I don't know who you are, or if you are on any of the better airgun forums, but you made valid points that are mostly ignored out there. My hat is off to you. I go by KnifeMaker or just Knife of several forums and specialise in slug shooting. How to cast them, how to learn the barrels needs in size and length of slugs and how to lapp and polish bores. All of my guns save one is lapped and polished. The one gun that is not is an Uragan .25 cal. I took the gun down to inspect everything as I do all new to me guns and was ready to start lapping. When I slugged the bbl. I was shocked! Beautifully lapped and polished. Other than the striations of he rifling on the slug, not one mark. Not one. Perfectly smooth in both lands and groves. Perfect! At this price point, unheard of. Only AAA as far as I am aware offers this in airguns, and charges north of 300 usd for the service. The top match firearm bbl's charge dearly for this service. Another keep point is the hammer of said aG. It is more of a firearm hammer. No sliding cylinder weight uses as a hammer. The Ed Gun uses a similar hamme the the Air Gun Technology Uraga as well. but enough about this one gun. Mentioned the Sheridan. I too had one in the late 50's. Loved the gun. However, they were far from the first pcp (hand pumped or not) to use slugs. The practice goes back a couple hundred years. I get a kick out of so many saying that slugs are the "new thing". Well, in the long game, it is the pellets that are the new thing. And they have a long history as well. LOL! (Just not anywhere as long as slugs.Pellets were originally designed for indore shooting in pubs with very low power. A game popular in Europe similar to a modern darg game. They were never intended for long range, or high power. Yes, they have come a long way, but nowhere the capabilities of a slugs with its ballistic advantages, particularly in wind and or long range performance. Keep up the good work. and keep polishing those barrels! ;
I also had a Sheridan 5mm. I used it for years as a kid. I like using the monsters, beasts and sniper magnum pellets. In 177 they are similar to slugs but can be used without the slug hassle. I only shoot about 50 yards. At that distance they are perfect.
All I can say is, "WOW"... I have also been shooting air guns since 1972 and my first one was a Benjamin. 22... And I exclusively bought the slugs in the yellow box... I to love tearing into my guns and doing all I can for not only power, but accuracy as well... Watching you explain what, and how you do what you do is awesome.. I'll follow your channel like I breath air... I'll link your channel to all my airgun buddies and you definitely have a loyal subscriber here!!! 😉👍🤗😁... Very much looking forward to your next post...
Sorry it took so long to answer no active but me too I have still loved her and I was going to park and I still do I’m gonna give you. I’m sorry and I never realize how lucky I was to have a dad you know who is awesome and also was a gunsmith you better not look at me funny I always had the most accurate guns I was really lucky and I learned a lot
I hope you share your years of knowledge! I am brand new to pcp's and most of what you said makes a lot sense. I bought the avenger in .25 and I'm getting decent accuracy but I know it can be better !
This is what I have been waiting for , I’m new to the airgun community and I’m ready to learn how to shoot and pay attention to my body and gun. Thanks
Just found your channel and subscribed. I just got the Advenger 22 with the wood stock. This is my first PCP and I’m very impressed with it so far. I hope you get one and I’m looking forward to seeing what you can do with.
What do you plan on shooting out of it slugs or pellets . And I think that that is the top gun right now straight from the factory it is the top shooter
@@amazingairguns6350in the limited time I’ve had to shoot it and learn to tune it I’ve mainly been shooting pellets. So far I have found the it likes the JSB Hades the best. Super accurate out to 50 yards. I haven’t shot it further that that yet. I started messing around with different slugs but had to stop shooting for awhile. So far a couple of the Neilson slugs are working the best. I still have some more tuning to do with them though . If I can get it to shoot slugs about as accurately as it does with pellets I will be shooting slugs.
From my research/experiments, the internals of the suppressor makes a huge difference too for the low speed projects from PCP, too much turbulence will def affect the trajectory and hence the grouping.
So about the two groups thing.. What was it. I've just got a brk ghost and im getting exactly that situation that you describe with your kral puncher. Few shots then another grouping in a slightly diferent place. I'm shooting 15.89 jsb jumbo exacts in. 22 great in most of my Rifles. So I'm down to either the barrel or the regulator are the problem. But I don't know..
Hey bro you seem to really know your stuff can you show us how to build a hard-hitting long-range smooth twist Barrel 25 caliber gun with at least 40 shots of consistent speeds as hard as it can hit with still holding slug on slug accuracy
I'm sitting here watching the full video about to subscribe. Interested in your lapping and polishing idea. (I have the avenger and it's already pretty accurate)
I still have 3 of the original plastic box's of the Sheridan .20 for my Blue Streak. And I just got some "Green Tin" Sheridan .22 with the waxy lube on them. Big 10-4, STKO really knows his stuff (no charge for that compliment) Great Vid, very informative. I signed up!
About time we found a man that giving his 100% opinion off his own back .well done mate .for not being influenced buy big gun companies. You're got my thumbs up and i will subscribe so should anyone else that wants to hear the truth well done bro
i have a gamo hpa tactical out the box performs well ?!? 254mps 833fps 38 joule ??? at its lowest my high was 262mps 861fps 40,6 joule with a 18,21 gr pellet h&n baracude hunter 22call after that i adjusted the hammer spring till the point it still locked back when loading here are the results 257mps 844fps 39,1 joule at low and high 286mps 937fps 48,2 joule the day after i took an other test at its lowest 281mps 923fps 46,7 joule now the high 287mps 942fps 48,6 joule at the muzzel pollishing the barrel sir that will be my next step till now its a easy way to make things how i want it with a budget pcp in the netherlands thanks for all the info slugs are next to test
What an informative video. You've done your homework and some. Thanks for your time and hard work good to listen to someone who knows what he's talking about
Those guns are in a class of there own .Super consistant excellent trigger and a polygon barrel.you have to polish the barrel for slugs. That gun will run circles around an impact.
So I watched your video about 3 shots in one hole at 263 or 268 yards on the Huben. You made me laugh, because as an ex border patrol agent, and a salesman and sales manager and a graduate of Colorado School of Trades gunsmithing program in the 1980's, i was the youngest graduate at the time.....lol.....so I laughed because your video was totally unrehearsed, and you were not the expert on video production, but all my years of experience of reading people, told me you were honest....lol.....So I already had a impact mk 2 in .357, so after watching your video at 3:30pm, I was on the Interstate at 4:30pm, driving from Gretna, NE to Smithville Missouri to buy one that night from Kelly. I texted him or emailed him when I was halfway there, since most of his sales I assumed were mail order. He texted me back and said OK, I will be here. lol. So I showed up at abut 7:30 and like you I am sorta high energy, lol. Kelly and I became friends rather quickly, and I bought my first Huben in .25. I love this airgun for its ergonomics, how it feels, and it is so quiet. I have shot 50gr cast slug at 920 and shooting very good groups at 100yards between .75 to an 1.0 inch. but i get occasional fliers and I have made many phone calls to kelly and text messages as at first I could not get the kind of groups I was expecting. This led to me doing much research and I have decided to specialize in ammo for airguns (slugs) and so Slugfest Ammunition Company was born. I told Kelly that despite the haters you had on some of your videos, I said my years of reading people told me that you had previous firearms experience and perhaps some machining experience. So anyway, I would love to be able to communicate with you privately, so when you get a chance, email me at severtpeterson402@gmail.com. I loved this video and hope to hear from ya soon. Best regards, Tripp Peterson-Slugfest Airgun Ammunition, Gretna NE You can call Kelly, and confrim all of this, he will laugh and tell you I am the real deal, lol. He is just such a good person, and most of all, like you, very real and very honest.
You are just what the slug Airgun in community needs. In order to make slugs that are exactly the same someone needs to swage them out of one swage. That means a dedicated swage to each box of ammo. I am looking very forward to talking to you. Right now I’m at work I will definitely message you back. The thing is haters are fine those are all Matt Dubber‘s friends every single one of them that has a nasty comments because I called him out during rmac . And I knew that was gonna happen but I had to do it during that competition in order for him to make a comment back to me and make my video explode on how poorly made the Airgun barrels are. The Flyers I was going to do a video on it’s The way they are being swaged. They are all different sizes and different weights. Some have spots were in there not as round as others. H & N seem to be the most inconsistent. Oh I can’t wait to talk to you we got a lot to talk about. I’ll message when I get out of work
1st video of yours I've watched. I am a new pcp owner/tinkerer. A problem I would like to see addressed is parts availability on the cheaper guns like the avenger. It is a great shooting gun for the price but if you have any part fail other than a o ring you are sol. The valves fail on the 1st gen good luck finding a replacement. Which is crazy considering that the valve fits about 6 of the Chinese guns.
Please make some more videos very informative, I have a 2020 Huben .25 very powerful and accurate but i can not get it to shot slugs tried .254 i have just ordered some .250 to see how they work. what i have seen with the slugs they throw very hard to the left but not the JSB 33.95 pellets.
Slugs shoot completely different then pellets, I would try .251 that is my preferred dia for 25 You will need to re site your scope when switching to slugs.
I’m new to air…. I’d love to see a series on building an air rifle from scratch. Could you recreate your first build along with links for sourcing the components? I’ve learned a lot over the last 10 months with a gauntlet, avenger and now a Texan .308. The avenger allowed me to learn about tuning and the Texan is teaching me about unregulated gun tuning (tank pressure vs hammer spring preload). And by the way the .308 Texan shoots better than everything I read dating back to about 2017 suggests. The gun will print sub 2 MOA at 200 yards using either a 105 grain NSA slug or a 106 grain cast NOE slug. I started casting bullets to support the testing of this rifle. Plus the slug is carrying over 168 FPE @ 200 yds! I’ve been totally amazed. And this is shooting untethered. I would love to be able to watch your videos, buy the same parts, learn and see how everything goes together to make a functioning air rifle! That would be super cool!!! It would be a great way to share what you’ve learned over the last 40 plus years of doing this…. I’m in… anybody else? P.S. if anyone wants to see what I’ve learned about the Texan, I’ve documented it with multiple short videos and provide tuning information used as I couldn’t find many videos on tuning. Take a look. Hope it helps.
@@michaelbritain5546 Sorry, with all due respect, it's one thing to opine with a suggestive criticism, but without any follow-up referrals on whom one should turn to for factual knowledge and content. Are you not like someone that's trying to shoot a "PCP" airgun without any ammo and no air in the tank. Please Sir, then illuminate us accordingly? For I did search out your content and found nothing. Whereas, there appears to be a host of individuals that seem to be learning much from this content creator. Take good care...
Very relatable most everything you said. It's almost like I'm listening to myself, LOL. Okay got the gun shooting perfect ... Well Shucks now what I'm going to do? ... oh that's right, more power! Longer distance! Where's my drill! :-)
I swage my own but I would like to know what is the best depth to set the hollow point pin, At the moment my depth is 5mm on a 8mm long slug, Is there a prefers depth, I set it deep so I can reduce the weight of the slug to keep the length. What are your thoughts.
The best part is you can set the depth for accuracy. The best long-distance accuracy is achieved with no hollowpoint. I don’t know how far you’re shooting but by the time you get out to 200 yards even if you’re shooting 1100 ft./s you need a really soft lead slug. I’ll shoot a video tonight for you and I watch spring explain some of it. The great part is you can tell her your ammo to your gun depending on what you’re doing. I get my best groups with round nose ammunition.What kind of gun do you have and what speeds are you shooting
@@amazingairguns6350 I have a cricket tactical 2 and have the reg set at 145, I'm shooting put lead at around 1000 FPS, I want to stay just under supersonic so I twerk the hammer back. I will be shooting at around 100 yards to 130, I read that hollow point we're more accurate than round nose, What you are saying changes that. I'll wait for your vid,, Thanks for the reply.
It’s funny how accurate some guns are. I love love love my Fx m3 .25 … recently picked up a wood stock Marauder .22 and the damn thing is so close to my impact it’s crazy. Of course it doesn’t have any of the features or tunability.. but the damn thing is accurate!
The original Sheridans were great. The Crosman ones are a disappointment. I converted a Benjamin Marauder.177 to 5mm with a Lothar Walther barrel. It’s my best Marauder.
Sounds very knowledgeable. I would watch videos expanding on the themes in this one, especially the customization of rifles with FX barrels. A fixed camera would be an improvement.
The single greatest improvement you can make on an FX Airgun is to get a Walther polygon barrel. If you’re going to poets you get it with a choke if you’re going to shoot slugs you get it uncooked. You will not believe the accuracy you will get. You’ll shoot a three eights inch group at 100 yards with pellets and under 3/4 of an inch at 100 yards with slugs
I was thinking about doing my bobcat getting more power. And this will apply to all affects arrogance because they all uses the same valve set up. So I’ll do a video and show you how to easily get a lot more power. Well also have to change the hammer spring but we can’t go to Stiff Because the caulking arms are very light weight. But we’ll figure it out and will get it done
Nice video, but I don't understand obsession with air guns. Only reason I have big bore air guns and firearms is for self defense. As such air guns are good in that it's very inexpensive to shoot and you can practice a lot almost anywhere. And you can cast your ammo (slugs/bullets) yourself, which would be invaluable when SHTF hits and you can't get firearm ammunition. Other than that, airguns or firearms, makes no difference to me.
It's a sickness man lol...I am the same way but with designing molds and casting slugs hahaa.. I love my AEA Challenger, got it down to 1" 10 shot groups at 100yds with my 132gn flatnose ! Great content man ! Subscribed
I appreciate this video and agree with you. The price for these guns today cost more than an actual combat ready, AR15 or a Kalishnakov. It's unreal. I appreciate what they can do but the only thing that has stopped from me buying an impact mk3 is, the God awful price. So I look at the budget guns but I simply want to avoid anything made in China. I just can't do it...not now anyway. So I have thought the same way..maybe I can build my own damn air rifle that can actually shoot at 100+ yards.
All I can say is that I’m hooked on air and I’m one of these guys that tries and be the best I can be at whatever I’m doing and right now it’s air gunning. I sense you have all this knowledge and if your willing to share I’m there.
Count me in, captain!! I'm just a villager from the north and we have animals we hunt with airguns, most of it is the multi-pumps, and the money suckered CO2. I've watched a lot of videos I've subscribed to and it's awesome to see airguns that we don't have here. PCP rifles. Another thing about accuracy is floating the barrels, also as known to "free float". Oscillating and harmonizing in my understanding is like a bull whip. Plus, the designs and weight is what rifles want. Not the shooter. Got my list of education down. Especially if I want to shoot landed geese and ducks on tundra. 😁👍
Subscribed, you are on my wave length, well ahead actually. Please give us for info, found all you said very interesting. I have put an FX barrel in a Benjamin Marauder with good results but needs more work. 😎
I don’t know about the Huben Gen 1-5? But I do know the LCS SK-19 in .22 and .25 with 2 different barrels….22 has a LW 12 grove and the .25 has a LW Poly barrel. The adjustability in power and precise control is Indian as is the accuracy. That said…I have yet to find a slug that the .25 shoots better than an FX 34 grain pellet. Please…if you know a slug that the .25 poly barrel will shoot…I’m all ears. The NSA38.5 grain I have tried and didn’t group worth a damn at 30 yards?🤷♂️🥴💯 BTW the Avenger in .22 and .25 is amazing and well with every worth every penny💯. Yes…at 75 yards is just as accurate as any high end gun I have. BTW the Avenger costs about 100$ to make. Love the Nova Vista Liberty/Avenger Gen 1 just as much. Love all of mine sir too… thank you. Spitting pure facts. Very refreshing when people are real. 👍💯💪🇺🇸 God bless. Mad respect by the way for sharing your knowledge brotha.
Here is the like and subscribe from ATP. The brat pack reviewers that review airguns seem to shoot amazing groups without cleaning or polishing the barrel. Like Fake news right? We are going to follow your channel and watch it grow:')
I keep hearing about the Avenger Kinda tells it's worth buying. But in all I do hunt and paper target with the lady .25 cal and above. Thanks for sharing!
You’re right slugs are the the past of airguns. But they were mostly forgot about from the precision shooting community. That’s the meaning behind saying that slugs are the future...
I would like to hear about your knowledge and experience of air gunning. Like so many things you buy, there is a break in period. I am interested shooting about 100 yards. Anything farther the gun and scope are too much money. There so many variables in getting the gun to shoot the way you want. I look forward to hear what you have to say. Thank you.
Now you say that’s what these big companies selling their expensive products want you to think that it is too expensive to shoot fire and that is the farthest thing from the truth. You can get a QB chief. And avenger. A marauder. And my video is going to show you how to take the choke off. And I am going to show you how to set that barrel up so you can shoot at least an inch and a three-quarter group at 200 yards. So this is not within your reach as far as money goes. These companies come into this business and they charge $1700 right off the bat for a gun. Because they know people have been trained to think you have to spend a ton of money. FX hides there in accuracy by editing their African videos and not showing you how many times they mess their barrels are the worst. Button rifled barrels are the most accurate if they are prepared right and I am gonna give you everything you need to prepare yours. And if you don’t wanna do it yourself you can send them to me and I will do it for you I’m not gonna charge crazy money to do it..
The airgun mafia is coming for this guy 🤣🤣🤣 They will try and cancel him, he won't be allowed on any of the bought and paid for forums AKA Airgun nation
I LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED Suggest you get a Labrador,AEAC USES ONE, I AM A ‘WHY GUY’ and numbers don,t lie and would like to see someone with EXPERIENCE talk about TWIST RATES,BARREL LENGTHS, SLUG WEIGHTS, AND FPE AT POI ALL AS IMPORTANT AS BC Thanks for the EFFORT. KEEP IT COMING. TOM

I'm with you on this. There are very few, poorly made videos about barrel polishing.
said in his newest vid is coming out on polishing
Just clean the barrels with WD40 soaked cloths then, wash/dry & lube the pellets/slugs. Done !
Great Point about marksmanship. Too many air gunners just shoot off the bench and really have no formal marksmanship skills, and never competed in form of riflery.

Slugs for hunting large game, pellets are for accuracy/target shooting. Every tool has it's place .

I will do my best to answer all the questions you have . And thank you very much

Ah yes I still have my blue streak.
This is why the cricket tactical is the best gun ever.

From my research/experiments, the internals of the suppressor makes a huge difference too for the low speed projects from PCP, too much turbulence will def affect the trajectory and hence the grouping.
Watched this again.
It's funny because my uncle actually gave me a Sheridan 5mm as a kid. I took many small game with it.
I love your videos. ❤💯👍
Thank you so much I just need to get time to do my next
Pls let me now a good fix for the kral trigger!
I got it polished but its still mushy
Thank for sharing mate
I can't wait to start viewing you videos best of luck....👍
My Daystate Huntsman Regal (47ft/lb) shoots 34 grain Javelin slugs hole on top of hole at 44 yards consistently.
Let’s go back even further !
Lewis & Clark look at what they had to impress the natives as they traveled
So about the two groups thing.. What was it. I've just got a brk ghost and im getting exactly that situation that you describe with your kral puncher. Few shots then another grouping in a slightly diferent place. I'm shooting 15.89 jsb jumbo exacts in. 22 great in most of my Rifles. So I'm down to either the barrel or the regulator are the problem. But I don't know..
Hey bro you seem to really know your stuff can you show us how to build a hard-hitting long-range smooth twist Barrel 25 caliber gun with at least 40 shots of consistent speeds as hard as it can hit with still holding slug on slug accuracy
I'm sitting here watching the full video about to subscribe. Interested in your lapping and polishing idea. (I have the avenger and it's already pretty accurate)
I still have 3 of the original plastic box's of the Sheridan .20 for my Blue Streak. And I just got some "Green Tin" Sheridan .22 with the waxy lube on them. Big 10-4, STKO really knows his stuff (no charge for that compliment) Great Vid, very informative. I signed up!
About time we found a man that giving his 100% opinion off his own back .well done mate .for not being influenced buy big gun companies. You're got my thumbs up and i will subscribe so should anyone else that wants to hear the truth well done bro
Hi there can you recommend a 350 177 barrel so that I can shoot slugs for edgun leshiy,, thanks ben
I have an unopened container of those. Another I only opened once to look at them!
Nice video 👍 friend ❤️ I support you
i have a gamo hpa tactical out the box performs well ?!? 254mps 833fps 38 joule ??? at its lowest my high was 262mps 861fps 40,6 joule with a 18,21 gr pellet h&n baracude hunter 22call
after that i adjusted the hammer spring till the point it still locked back when loading here are the results 257mps 844fps 39,1 joule at low and high 286mps 937fps 48,2 joule the day after i took an other test
at its lowest 281mps 923fps 46,7 joule now the high 287mps 942fps 48,6 joule at the muzzel pollishing the barrel sir that will be my next step till now its a easy way to make things how i want it with a budget pcp in the netherlands thanks for all the info slugs are next to test
This guys seems to know his stuff, I remember I took apart a little daisy put it back together and it would shoot if I shook it
Real good video and info on the 1950's slugs keep them coming
What an informative video. You've done your homework and some. Thanks for your time and hard work good to listen to someone who knows what he's talking about
Totaly agree. I'm not seeing proper marksmanship technique anywhere. Just splat, splat, splat fast as they can.
What do you think about lcs sk19?
Those Hubens are badass
I would like to know what you think about the new Daystate redwolf.25 HP I just ordered one
Those guns are in a class of there own .Super consistant excellent trigger and a polygon barrel.you have to polish the barrel for slugs. That gun will run circles around an impact.
So I watched your video about 3 shots in one hole at 263 or 268 yards on the Huben. You made me laugh, because as an ex border patrol agent, and a salesman and sales manager and a graduate of Colorado School of Trades gunsmithing program in the 1980's, i was the youngest graduate at the time.....lol.....so I laughed because your video was totally unrehearsed, and you were not the expert on video production, but all my years of experience of reading people, told me you were honest....lol.....So I already had a impact mk 2 in .357, so after watching your video at 3:30pm, I was on the Interstate at 4:30pm, driving from Gretna, NE to Smithville Missouri to buy one that night from Kelly. I texted him or emailed him when I was halfway there, since most of his sales I assumed were mail order. He texted me back and said OK, I will be here. lol. So I showed up at abut 7:30 and like you I am sorta high energy, lol. Kelly and I became friends rather quickly, and I bought my first Huben in .25. I love this airgun for its ergonomics, how it feels, and it is so quiet. I have shot 50gr cast slug at 920 and shooting very good groups at 100yards between .75 to an 1.0 inch. but i get occasional fliers and I have made many phone calls to kelly and text messages as at first I could not get the kind of groups I was expecting. This led to me doing much research and I have decided to specialize in ammo for airguns (slugs) and so Slugfest Ammunition Company was born. I told Kelly that despite the haters you had on some of your videos, I said my years of reading people told me that you had previous firearms experience and perhaps some machining experience. So anyway, I would love to be able to communicate with you privately, so when you get a chance, email me at severtpeterson402@gmail.com. I loved this video and hope to hear from ya soon.
Best regards, Tripp Peterson-Slugfest Airgun Ammunition, Gretna NE You can call Kelly, and confrim all of this, he will laugh and tell you I am the real deal, lol. He is just such a good person, and most of all, like you, very real and very honest.
You are just what the slug Airgun in community needs. In order to make slugs that are exactly the same someone needs to swage them out of one swage. That means a dedicated swage to each box of ammo. I am looking very forward to talking to you. Right now I’m at work I will definitely message you back. The thing is haters are fine those are all Matt Dubber‘s friends every single one of them that has a nasty comments because I called him out during rmac . And I knew that was gonna happen but I had to do it during that competition in order for him to make a comment back to me and make my video explode on how poorly made the Airgun barrels are. The Flyers I was going to do a video on it’s The way they are being swaged. They are all different sizes and different weights. Some have spots were in there not as round as others. H & N seem to be the most inconsistent. Oh I can’t wait to talk to you we got a lot to talk about. I’ll message when I get out of work
Take a look at Altaros Slugs. I shot .943 at 200 yards. With those slugs.
@@amazingairguns6350 in what airgun and what caliber ?
1st video of yours I've watched. I am a new pcp owner/tinkerer. A problem I would like to see addressed is parts availability on the cheaper guns like the avenger. It is a great shooting gun for the price but if you have any part fail other than a o ring you are sol. The valves fail on the 1st gen good luck finding a replacement. Which is crazy considering that the valve fits about 6 of the Chinese guns.
I had a Sheridan .25 pump. Great air rifle!
Please make some more videos very informative, I have a 2020 Huben .25 very powerful and accurate but i can not get it to shot slugs tried .254 i have just ordered some .250 to see how they work. what i have seen with the slugs they throw very hard to the left but not the JSB 33.95 pellets.
Slugs shoot completely different then pellets, I would try .251 that is my preferred dia for 25
You will need to re site your scope when switching to slugs.
I’m new to air…. I’d love to see a series on building an air rifle from scratch. Could you recreate your first build along with links for sourcing the components?
I’ve learned a lot over the last 10 months with a gauntlet, avenger and now a Texan .308.
The avenger allowed me to learn about tuning and the Texan is teaching me about unregulated gun tuning (tank pressure vs hammer spring preload).
And by the way the .308 Texan shoots better than everything I read dating back to about 2017 suggests.
The gun will print sub 2 MOA at 200 yards using either a 105 grain NSA slug or a 106 grain cast NOE slug. I started casting bullets to support the testing of this rifle. Plus the slug is carrying over 168 FPE @ 200 yds! I’ve been totally amazed. And this is shooting untethered.
I would love to be able to watch your videos, buy the same parts, learn and see how everything goes together to make a functioning air rifle!
That would be super cool!!! It would be a great way to share what you’ve learned over the last 40 plus years of doing this…. I’m in… anybody else?
P.S. if anyone wants to see what I’ve learned about the Texan, I’ve documented it with multiple short videos and provide tuning information used as I couldn’t find many videos on tuning. Take a look. Hope it helps.
If you want knowledgeable content and advice, don't listen to this guy, He knows very little about actual facts on air guns.
@@michaelbritain5546 Sorry, with all due respect, it's one thing to opine with a suggestive criticism, but without any follow-up referrals on whom one should turn to for factual knowledge and content. Are you not like someone that's trying to shoot a "PCP" airgun without any ammo and no air in the tank. Please Sir, then illuminate us accordingly? For I did search out your content and found nothing. Whereas, there appears to be a host of individuals that seem to be learning much from this content creator. Take good care...
YOU ARE SPOT ON Brother! 👍
Very relatable most everything you said. It's almost like I'm listening to myself, LOL. Okay got the gun shooting perfect ... Well Shucks now what I'm going to do? ... oh that's right, more power! Longer distance! Where's my drill! :-)
Looking forward to watch more of your videos. Especially the polishing one.
Great and clear video. Buy the way, in close up you look like Kevin Kostner.
I swage my own but I would like to know what is the best depth to set the hollow point pin,
At the moment my depth is 5mm on a 8mm long slug,
Is there a prefers depth,
I set it deep so I can reduce the weight of the slug to keep the length.
What are your thoughts.
The best part is you can set the depth for accuracy. The best long-distance accuracy is achieved with no hollowpoint. I don’t know how far you’re shooting but by the time you get out to 200 yards even if you’re shooting 1100 ft./s you need a really soft lead slug. I’ll shoot a video tonight for you and I watch spring explain some of it. The great part is you can tell her your ammo to your gun depending on what you’re doing. I get my best groups with round nose ammunition.What kind of gun do you have and what speeds are you shooting
@@amazingairguns6350 I have a cricket tactical 2 and have the reg set at 145,
I'm shooting put lead at around 1000 FPS,
I want to stay just under supersonic so I twerk the hammer back.
I will be shooting at around 100 yards to 130,
I read that hollow point we're more accurate than round nose,
What you are saying changes that.
I'll wait for your vid,,
Thanks for the reply.
Well done. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
It’s funny how accurate some guns are. I love love love my Fx m3 .25 … recently picked up a wood stock Marauder .22 and the damn thing is so close to my impact it’s crazy. Of course it doesn’t have any of the features or tunability.. but the damn thing is accurate!
The original Sheridans were great. The Crosman ones are a disappointment. I converted a Benjamin Marauder.177 to 5mm with a Lothar Walther barrel. It’s my best Marauder.
Did you ever do a built video?
I like where this is going.
Sounds very knowledgeable. I would watch videos expanding on the themes in this one, especially the customization of rifles with FX barrels. A fixed camera would be an improvement.
The single greatest improvement you can make on an FX Airgun is to get a Walther polygon barrel. If you’re going to poets you get it with a choke if you’re going to shoot slugs you get it uncooked. You will not believe the accuracy you will get. You’ll shoot a three eights inch group at 100 yards with pellets and under 3/4 of an inch at 100 yards with slugs
I was thinking about doing my bobcat getting more power. And this will apply to all affects arrogance because they all uses the same valve set up. So I’ll do a video and show you how to easily get a lot more power. Well also have to change the hammer spring but we can’t go to Stiff Because the caulking arms are very light weight. But we’ll figure it out and will get it done
i want to see your shop you built that gun in
my zbroia has a polished barrel it has fantastic accuracy ,20 yrds no wind 40 shots one hole.18 grn thank you georgia airguns.
Great vid Respect from UK
Nice video, but I don't understand obsession with air guns. Only reason I have big bore air guns and firearms is for self defense. As such air guns are good in that it's very inexpensive to shoot and you can practice a lot almost anywhere. And you can cast your ammo (slugs/bullets) yourself, which would be invaluable when SHTF hits and you can't get firearm ammunition. Other than that, airguns or firearms, makes no difference to me.
Hammer style guns are very primitive if one considers what fast action valving is available today and in fact for many years.
Why did your shoot vertical? Makes it really hard to watch.
It's a sickness man lol...I am the same way but with designing molds and casting slugs hahaa..
I love my AEA Challenger, got it down to 1" 10 shot groups at 100yds with my 132gn flatnose !
Great content man ! Subscribed
What can you do to make the aea Challenger Bullpup more accurate I live in the Caribbean what is the easiest thing to do
buy the Aventure
Thank you.. hope to see your review on avenge .22 ... Good luck
You Have My Vote, Bring On The Videos.
I appreciate this video and agree with you. The price for these guns today cost more than an actual combat ready, AR15 or a Kalishnakov. It's unreal. I appreciate what they can do but the only thing that has stopped from me buying an impact mk3 is, the God awful price. So I look at the budget guns but I simply want to avoid anything made in China. I just can't do it...not now anyway. So I have thought the same way..maybe I can build my own damn air rifle that can actually shoot at 100+ yards.
All I can say is that I’m hooked on air and I’m one of these guys that tries and be the best I can be at whatever I’m doing and right now it’s air gunning. I sense you have all this knowledge and if your willing to share I’m there.
But not much of it is knowledgeable...
You make some good points indeed. I only wish I could get a Huben in New Zealand! Chances are that the police would not allow it in here.
Count me in, captain!! I'm just a villager from the north and we have animals we hunt with airguns, most of it is the multi-pumps, and the money suckered CO2. I've watched a lot of videos I've subscribed to and it's awesome to see airguns that we don't have here. PCP rifles. Another thing about accuracy is floating the barrels, also as known to "free float". Oscillating and harmonizing in my understanding is like a bull whip. Plus, the designs and weight is what rifles want. Not the shooter. Got my list of education down. Especially if I want to shoot landed geese and ducks on tundra. 😁👍
Subscribed, you are on my wave length, well ahead actually. Please give us for info, found all you said very interesting. I have put an FX barrel in a Benjamin Marauder with good results but needs more work. 😎
Just subbed
Looking forward to seeing your videos.
You know your shit my friend.
Do it we need the right info from guys like you.
I don’t know about the Huben Gen 1-5? But I do know the LCS SK-19 in .22 and .25 with 2 different barrels….22 has a LW 12 grove and the .25 has a LW Poly barrel. The adjustability in power and precise control is Indian as is the accuracy. That said…I have yet to find a slug that the .25 shoots better than an FX 34 grain pellet. Please…if you know a slug that the .25 poly barrel will shoot…I’m all ears. The NSA38.5 grain I have tried and didn’t group worth a damn at 30 yards?🤷♂️🥴💯 BTW the Avenger in .22 and .25 is amazing and well with every worth every penny💯. Yes…at 75 yards is just as accurate as any high end gun I have. BTW the Avenger costs about 100$ to make. Love the Nova Vista Liberty/Avenger Gen 1 just as much. Love all of mine sir too… thank you. Spitting pure facts. Very refreshing when people are real. 👍💯💪🇺🇸 God bless. Mad respect by the way for sharing your knowledge brotha.
Here is the like and subscribe from ATP. The brat pack reviewers that review airguns seem to shoot amazing groups without cleaning or polishing the barrel. Like Fake news right? We are going to follow your channel and watch it grow:')
I keep hearing about the Avenger Kinda tells it's worth buying. But in all I do hunt and paper target with the lady .25 cal and above. Thanks for sharing!
Me thinks it is the best PCP for the money you WILL ever spend,
Great video... liked and subbed!
I would like you to get ahold my Airforce Condor to make it shoot accurate.
You’re right slugs are the the past of airguns.
But they were mostly forgot about from the precision shooting community.
That’s the meaning behind saying that slugs are the future...
I wish I had a nickel for every pellet I shot out of my Sheridan blue streak as a kid.
I like every thing you’re saying . Subscribing. I believe you know your stuff. Keep making videos please. Have a great day 👍
Sounds good. Subscribed 👍
I had a brake barrel a Beeman or it's competition whatever that was it seem's like it was 100-110 years I think...lol.
Thank you for your no BS approach to a video. Very informative. Liked and subcribed, make the videos!
I like to pour salt on slugs
I would like to hear about your knowledge and experience of air gunning. Like so many things you buy, there is a break in period. I am interested shooting about 100 yards. Anything farther the gun and scope are too much money. There so many variables in getting the gun to shoot the way you want. I look forward to hear what you have to say. Thank you.
Now you say that’s what these big companies selling their expensive products want you to think that it is too expensive to shoot fire and that is the farthest thing from the truth. You can get a QB chief. And avenger. A marauder. And my video is going to show you how to take the choke off. And I am going to show you how to set that barrel up so you can shoot at least an inch and a three-quarter group at 200 yards. So this is not within your reach as far as money goes. These companies come into this business and they charge $1700 right off the bat for a gun. Because they know people have been trained to think you have to spend a ton of money. FX hides there in accuracy by editing their African videos and not showing you how many times they mess their barrels are the worst. Button rifled barrels are the most accurate if they are prepared right and I am gonna give you everything you need to prepare yours. And if you don’t wanna do it yourself you can send them to me and I will do it for you I’m not gonna charge crazy money to do it..
In New Zealand, we call them slug guns...
The airgun mafia is coming for this guy 🤣🤣🤣 They will try and cancel him, he won't be allowed on any of the bought and paid for forums AKA Airgun nation
They should really invite him to join for his valuable insight.
