Manny considering a regulator?
Excuse me, brb, gotta go buy a lottery ticket 


Seriously though, nothing wrong with regulating your hunting rig Manny. As long as you set it up so that you have enough power to get the job done & it doesn't hinder any potential hunting scenario you may encounter, including threading the needle through brush, harder skulls, less than precision perfect angles or slightly longer ranges than usual. However...

OK so,

I go hunting with a full charge, I know I can get 10 shots into a dime at 50 yards ( and I rarely, very rarely shoot at a Hog that far ) I'm lucky if I use 2 shots on a hunt,.....having said all that, what advantage would a regulator give me in my application ?

Also, on a side note if I can get a jig to shorten my stash of 43gr EunJin pellets I will turn this little .25 cal TacStorm into a 70+ FPE Mini-Mean hunter



Regulators sound wonderful but the more I think about it it just feels like I would waste my money, .......I still might one day get a regulated .22 of some kind, most likely a Storm tho

to put it bluntly & state my honest opinion (sorry but it's the only way I know how) the advantages to for your applications & for your manner of use of AG's, would be practically none.
For 3-5 shots/outing on a full fill, you really don't NEED a regulator bruh. & I'm pretty sure you've noticed by now, you've gotten by just fine without one haven't you?

[Kinetic45^]

Gotcha!

And that is why they make both Chocolate and Vanilla ice cream (or Tin Roof for those of us in Blue Bell country who can get it)

Or Chocolate Chip Mint, uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm!  Choices?, choices?...

Now I heading to the freezer and it's all your fault Pirate for making me think of that analogy.

[KnifeMaker]

Haven't seen Tin Roof. What is it "From blue Bell" of course!

I can see the point Manny, with so few shots taken. Would make for a nice .22 RS though.

Ahhh, Tin Roof, is vanilla with big thick fudge swirls in it and chocolate covered nuts scattered throughout.
Produced twice a year limited production and for example, my town's Krogers gets 10, 1/2 gals each time.
The store manage calls me and I get 4.  The rest are gone by the end of day.
Every year or so they will produce some pints you sometimes see at service station stores display cases.

I guess Blue Bell only distributes from Brenham Texas along the Gulf Coast states?  LA, MS, AL, GA?

every other week I sit down with a bowl of ice cream and a syringe of 25units insulin, I'm a bad person and my endocrinologist and cardiologist hate me

I do like the regulated guns that I have which is only 2 but regulators do tend to put a damper on the power shots in trade for shot count.  I am very happy with the way I've got my SPA M16 performing since I modified it, it's got plenty of power for a .22 and I honestly don't need to fill it for every hunt if I don't go hog wild plinking with it but there's always that option.  Honestly if I had my hands on a nice Rainstorm II in .357 there's no way that I'd ever even consider putting a regulator in it.  I would use the gun mainly for large small game and deer only.  Besides that I simply love the nice thumbhole stock that comes with the .357. If I was going to do a lot of shooting in one sitting with it I'd have a SCBA tank close to refill.

[Nomadic Pirate]

Yeah, I'll put this on the future project drawer,
and will probably do it with a Storm .22

[KnifeMaker]

I was very fortunate to be able to get my hand on a Thumb Hole Stock. Love-It!

Yes, I do now what Tin Roof is, I have been to the pant, It's not far from here. Just never seen it in any of our stores here.

With selfish bastids like you, I probably never will. LOL!!! 

But then again, I hate Chocolate. My German wife says she has never been able to find real Chocolate here. Mostly wax and what seems like sand. LOL!

I did have Swiss Chocolate at the Mozart Hotel in Switzerland a few years ago. I agree. A totally different animal that what we have here.  About as much difference between grass fed fine steak and turkey burgers. Similar, sort of, kinda, if you don't mind what ya say.  plus ++LOL!

Wayne,

Here is your chance! minus the stock that you want though. Might bet a good deal if you dont need that scope.  Thought I'd pass the info along.

[KnifeMaker]

WOW! 675 shipped. Wonder what the issue is?

[WiseGuy]

Mike,

No issue, I contacted him a few weeks ago when I was still on the hunt for a used .25.  At least that is what he told me in the email.  Also dropped the price for me cause I was not interested in the scope.  I thought long and hard but I had my head set on a .25 instead for my needs.

[KnifeMaker]

A good buy, particularly for someone who cast!

Michael I tried both sizes of the Nielson slugs, they don't get the muzzle energy like the pellets and the rifling is there on the slug but not much. That tells me a lot of air is going by the slug. I can't even feel them chamber either. I think if they were a couple thou bigger they would be a lot better.
