Love to have you man! I love shooting but I don't love 90+ degrees of heat!

The Bullboss is supposed to show up tomorrow. I'm going to do some bone stock chrony tests tomorrow night, if it shows up as it should. It will be all down hill from there, because I'm going to tear it apart immediately after the baseline tests. Then we'll see what kind of potential she really has! I'm going to tear that valve and ports a new one,lol! I have spare parts, drill bits, sand paper, dremel, set screws and jb weld at the ready

If I luck out, and my short cylinder happens to line up, I'll do some maximum power tests too. I expect it will be the same as the AT-44, but I may be able to do a wee bit better. We shall see... I know, I need to leave stuff alone

And Fed Ex has failed once more... I got the delivery exception email today, and it said business closed or no one home. The only problem with that is that the package doesn't require a signature, and I provided delivery instructions on the Fail Ex tracking page. What's worse, the driver didn't actually try to deliver the package. They never even came to my house at all! This is the 3rd time this has happened to me with Fail Ex. I have surveillance cameras, so I know if they were here or not. Last time this happened, I was working in the front yard all day, and they said no one was home. The driver that does this route must be really lazy, or dumb. I really hate Fed Ex

It would different if this wasn't a regular thing, but... I wish PA would offer UPS as a shipping option.

Shot my first real strings on my Cricket today. This thing is quiet and extremely accurate - still getting used to it. I wanted to thank everyone in this group that helped with my crazy journey into PCP's. I went through a tin of pellets already.

Got my tank filled at Classic Paintball in Lithia Springs - easy, cheap and he even threw in some misc paintballs as targets. Filled up to 4,500 psi without needing any adaptor.

Chad when you check around for your nitrogen set-up be sure to call Palmers Welding supply. It's way out east in Loganville but they seemed to have the best price for gas refills. You can rent the 6000 psi cylinder for $8 per month and refills are $44. That's almost half of what Airgas and Sidney Lee charge.

Glad to hear you're up and shooting Chad!

Donny, you'll get your gun one day. Do you have to go to FedEx and pick it up now or will they 'try' again?

Hey, found out this morning that on another air gun site I won a $100 gift card to Pyramid Air! Maybe I can get my own Caldwell gun rest?

Sweet, hopefully everyone can make it out to Jesse in couple of weeks. I am having problem with my cricket. I noticed it in the beginning but never confirmed it until now. With the stock factory shroud, my POI would change if I let my gun sit for a length of time. I think that's probably the reason why the PO sold it. However when I had the Donny Du shroud with the LDC, it is accurate and quiet . I have since sold the shroud and LDC because I didn't like how long it made the gun. Well now I emailed Donny Du for his shroud without the LDC, he said his milling machine is broken and will take months to repair.

I just can't understand why factory shroud would cause this. If there is clipping, it would be consistent. But only my first shot after sitting, the POI would change. Weird.

This is probably a stupid question, but how are you storing the gun? Is it possible it is being stored to where the shroud has the gun's weight on it or something odd like that?

tinsoldier · « **Reply #410 on:** June 25, 2016, 02:40:30 PM »

I store my guns on the bipod. Never rest the barrel against a wall.

Trinh, when was the last time the shroud was cleaned and o-rings in the shroud lubed?

tinsoldier · « **Reply #412 on:** June 26, 2016, 09:54:55 AM »

To be honest, I don't know how to clean the shroud. It is pretty sealed up. I remove it from the barrel but that is it. I will try to clean it to see.

When is the next gathering at the land fill to shoot?

blackdiesel · « **Reply #414 on:** July 24, 2016, 02:01:13 PM »

I went out for a little while yesterday to sight in a new rifle. It was so hot and humid, I couldn't keep sweat from running in my eyes so I left after about 45 minutes.

Boy, that's good to know. Had I known that earlier, I might have gone that route instead of the Shoebox & booster compressors. It's a good ways from me, but I don't expect I would have to go very often. Thanks.

This was killed close by.

You know what they say, "red on yellow, kill a fellow". I've never seen a Coral Snake close up, and I don't want to.

12 or 14 years ago I recall there was a fairly active field target shooters group in Atlanta.

I have no idea if or where those guys might still be shooting etc ?

There is still an active FT club out of Covington, although they also shoot in Bremen. I haven't kept up with them in several years, but the organiser's name is Ken Hughes. I can get you contact info if you're interested.
