The one problem I have with this gun is that since it's so similar to all my other guns I forget once I'm done shooting that the gun it's still hot,......I really have to get in the frame of mind that I need to decock it when shooting is over.

Yeah, that one in the beginning and getting used to the fact that you don't need to work the lever to change mags,.....just a clever and solid platform.
You don't have to shoot a chambered pellet when you're done with a hunt either, now that is really nice, I don't like just wasting a pellet.

Quote from: oldpro on December 13, 2018, 05:09:18 PM mine is trying to not reach up and cock it between shots.My problem is just the opposite. After shooting the Air Speed and then shooting another rifle, I just keep squeezing the trigger and wonder why nothing happens!
I have 9 tins of H&N sniper magnums, and 2 of the older Evanix mags coming tomorrow via the big brown truck. Something to play with! Supposed to start raining tomorrow, but I don't care, I can sit here in my living room, and shoot out the window at my bullet trap all day long! My Carette compressor is acting up, don't want to get passed 4000 psi, but I have 2 Yung Hengs on standby!

Unfortunately my barrel is on the big brown truck headed to Oregon, so I couldn’t test it. It doesn’t have the cut out the Air Speed mags have, but it does fit if you pull the bolt all the way back when you insert it.

Don't know for sure, but I seem to remember that when I put the trigger block in the rear position when you cock the gun the probe actually stays hidden in the action,...again not 100% sure my memory is right

The Pup should really enhance the Semi action.

Sorry ya-all, but I'm done with my Air Speed. Tried the Speed/Conquest mags, jammed on second shot, every time, even with JSB 18gn. Replaced the front cover with a cover from the stock Air Speed, shot OK for a mag, then jammed, went the full auto thing, emptied all the air. Brought it in, tore it apart for about the 10th time, blew it out with compressed air, cleaned out the lead particles from the jams. Put it back together, took it out to run the stock mags through, point of aim was all over the place, with JSB 18gn, same problem as Paul had. Then on 3rd mag, jammed, farted and quit. Probably some debris in the probe area, so I gotta take the scope off and remove the set screw that holds the pin in place for the probe, take everything out, re-clean, and re assemble. This rifle is WAY to finicky for me. I took out my Hatsan Bullmaster, and ran 4 magazines through it, each with a different pellet, even the cheap Discovery's, JSB 15gn, H&N rabbit magnum power 25gn, and the old faithful Crosman hollow point's 14gn. Not a single jam, and very accurate too. Just ordered a Hatsan Barrage from Pyramyd, $899 with free bipod and scope, and free shipping. Air Speed for sale, will probably have to list it "as is".
