I took delivery of my first regulated PCP this week a Barra 1100z. $275 for a regulated PCP, we live in a wonderful time.
As expected it started leaking out the barrel about 30 shots in. No way was ... |

| It has been many years since I rebuilt one of those valves but I seem to remember a tiny quad ring inside the valve that would be easy to overlook. |

The .25 project has been a struggle. I solved all the problems by spending money. I found a Beeman Raider in .25 at a local sporting goods store.
The Raider shoots about the same as where I ended up ... |

Good work!
Any idea if you are getting any sort of barrel movement when taking a shot as a result of no barrel band?
I'm sure there is. It's a 24" barrel and it's unsupported except for the ... |

The fill end is done, two roll pins hold the plug in the end of the reservoir. The Foster connector is sealed up.

Winter is back so no range time this week. I spent some time on a new project. Instead of buying a Crosman 3622 or a Beeman Chief I thought I'd spend 3X as much building my own.
I have a few odds and ... |

These targets are from the second day of shooting. With H&N 31 grain pellets a 5 shot group at 25 yards can be covered with a quarter.

What was the range on the first groups of shots?
Maybe the next project should be making a new tube to handle 3000psi (and the valve mods to accommodate it as well)-?
The first groups were at 25 ... |

Should a Disco be converted to .25 cal ? The short answer is no... I did it anyway.
Stainless round stock machined to fit a .25 cal Lothar Walther barrel.

That Ascent air rifle- the stock on it doesn't make it look super high-end, but for $299 that may still be worthwhile- hopefully some reviews appear soon- the only "reviews" right now appe ... |

Maybe get a Marauder .25 cal barrel and see if you can fit it up to the Discovery with a bit of work?
It's funny that you say that. The .25 cal Lothar Walther barrel blank just showed up today. |
