Sythetic Flashpup Adventure Started

[UCChris]

I think that is a pretty hard deal to pass up!  I say buy it, especially now that I've gotten this one back together and ran it over the chrony.  Oh wait, I'm not helping, hahaha!

Care to share said chrony numbers? 

[Rallyshark]

Okay folks, I got the .22 SFP back together and was able to run a few over the chrony.  It looks like I picked up a little bit over the regular .22 Flash I did previously.  The high previously was 992.  With the new SFP  .22 I was able to get up to 1006fps with the 25.39s   If that same difference carries over to the 33.95 Beasts, that would put this new gun around 62-63 fpe tops.  Not bad at all!  I didn't really run any full strings over the chrony, just played around with the HS to get it at a lower power level for testing pellets in the next week or so.  It is behaving exactly as the the regular Flash did, so I think the strings should be near identical.  In other words, it can do a 10 shot 55fpe tune, a 24 shot 41fpe tune, and probably a 30-35 shot 30 fpe tune with a decent ES.  All good numbers for a $350 dollar pup, especially since I paid $320 for mine with a discount code from PA   With a better discount codes, it is a no brainer I think.

I can say the gun is backyard friendly at the 40 fpe level with just the QE.  A lot of that comes down to the gun being tuned well and not wasting air.  With a Huggett Belita on top of the QE, it is most definitely back yard friendly, even at 55 fpe.  I have a Huma LDC on the way for some testing later though.  I got the Mod40 Standard+ one, so that will give me a lot of flexibility with the LDC length and tuning! 

I slapped the Falcon on top of it after the quick chrony round, and she lines up pretty good.  If the accuracy is there, this will be a great little hunter.  It don't look all that bad either

Nope, you're not helping at all!  I'll try to adult-up here and force myself to part with one 'cuz the gun safe happens to be full. 

(Hmm, is that why my darling wife wanted me to get the safe?!?!?!)

Oh man, that looks awesome. Can't wait to tear into my boss's tomorrow.

Is your boss gonna put a regulator in it?  If he's wanting a low power tune, without a reg, he'll need to run it on a low fill tune.  On the bright side, all you'll really need to do is clean and lube it, pull the spacer and back that hammer spring down   Hopefully, his will be well machined too.

Dadgum Donny with numbers like that there is no need for a 25 cal flash. You are right at the max power I got out of my 25 cal flash for sure. If I remember right it was pushing the 33.95s at roughly 935fps so you should be real close for sure. The 25grs at 1006 is screaming for sure.

Great job

I can't say I'll be buying a FP any time soon (unless I can get it for a steal of a deal), but it's good to know that the power levels are respectable.

A wood Flash, though...now that may be something that's more down my alley. And if I can get it to be right around the 60FPE range, then I might just give it a shot.

Great work, Donny!

Donny already modded his 22 flash to 60fpe. i am interested in bottling this flash since it has a steel cylinder. give us some 50 yard prints please. try some slugs too

[mcoulter]

Quick question for you...  How would you compare the Flashpup's trigger to the normal Flash's trigger?  I assume the extra linkage would impact how good it feels.

We're going to regulate it. Basically, all the stuff I'm doing to my .177 is a test bed for his.

I don't have any 50 yard groups, but both my .177 and .25 will shoot 1/4" @ 33 yards with pellets. The .25 shot slugs into 1/2"-3/4" groups at that same range.

that stock looks like it i begging fo a bottle!

I was thinking the same, tight little 350ml, no reg, wide open in .25 for some thunder.

It is a little thumper for sure

It would take something like the short tube/drop block setup on the Airmax.  If you did try it, I would order a regular Flash aluminum cylinder to do it with.

... but I already have a new carbon 350ml bottle and some extra space in the lathes chip tray...

[Rallyshark]

Matt, the trigger isn't that bad, and the linkage is has only two pivot points with no flex to it.  It isn't quite as good as the standard Flash trigger, but it certainly isn't bad either.  It is fully adjustable like all the others, so you can certainly get it in the ballpark anyway.  It doesn't bother me at all, after I adjusted the pull down.  I didn't touch the other screws, just the pull weight. 


Chris,  I hope you ordered the reg for the "Flash S", and not the regular Flash/Flashpup, because they are different due to the ID of the steel cylinder.  It will be super easy to get that one tuned I think.  Let us know how the machining is on your boss's when you get it apart.  I'm curious about that.  It is going to be raining the next few days here, so I won't be able to get on any targets for a few days, but the barrel is this one is the best machined Hatsan barrel I've seen.

We haven't ordered the reg yet, but thank you for the reminder. I knew they weren't the same size, but I'm sure I would've forgotten. I didn't have a chance to tear into my boss's gun today, but I will tomorrow.

Cool    I spoke to Huub at Huma, and he informed me that he was already on top of it.  They are listed under "Flashpup S" on Huma's site.

Right on. Wonder if they'll get any sent over to Trenier.
