Sythetic Flashpup Adventure Started

[Rallyshark]

Sorry guys, I'm slow to get on here   I've modded the heck out of AT44s and Bullboss with great results. I did like the removable cylinder for swapping tunes easily, and they can be great guns.  Once I had them dialed in, they were extremely dependable. 

I completely agree with Thane on the design aspects.  I much prefer the way the Flash is put together over the AT44.  It is so much simpler to work on.  If someone came to me and said I'll give you an AT44 or a Flash, I would pick the Flash every time.  I wouldn't even have to think about it.  I like the way the Flash is put together that much It is simple and effective.  The way the de-bounce works in the Flash makes it very effective and reliable.  Basically, you won't have to think about it in the Flash at all.  They can be every bit as efficient as the AT guns for sure(if not more).

The biggest difference you'd have to adjust to over the AT44 is the straight pull bolt vs the side lever of the AT44.  I'm used to it, and I never find myself wishing it were a side lever to be honest.  This also adds to the simplicity.  Some guns do have a bit of a rough cocking action, but it tends to smooth out after going through some pellets.  You can also polish things up to remedy it immediately.  Then there's the weight, or lack of it in the Flash.  As Thane mentioned, the HS is adjustable, but adjusted a little differently.  On the pups, you can easily mod them to adjust the HS with the stock on the gun.  On the rifle, I haven't figured out an easy way to mod it to adjust the HS with the stock on, so you will have to remove it from the stock to adjust on the rifle for sure.

Power wise, they are capable of about the same power of an AT44.  Considering they have a 17.7" barrel, that's an accomplishment.  With a longer barrel, they can make more power than an AT44(even the long).  Just like Thane said, the Flash will win you over the first time you take it apart.  It is simple and it works.  None of this is to say the AT44 isn't a good gun, because it is.  The Flash just accomplishes the same thing with less parts/weight/complexity and simplicity.  Oh, I forgot another benefit of the Flash...  The magazine is higher capacity, AND it can hold longer pellets too! 

Where you wondering about the pups or the rifle?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The pups for sure. Thanks for the info.

Jere, I think you'd adjust well to one, if you took that dive.  I actually use my thumb and index finger to cock the pups, and it works pretty well for me.  I don't have giant hands either.  I do think you'd quickly appreciate the simplicity of these guns, and the weight is a big improvement over the AT series as well.

Here are some pics of my Flashpup S showing how I improved the ergonomics to suit my cheek and shoulder fit.  I used a belt sander to shape the receiver.  This allowed me a nice cheek weld with a lower and more rigid optic mounting solution.

That's interesting!  Do have any more close up pics of how the rail is mounted?  I'm curious if you have any POI shifts with that set up too.  I(and I'm sure others too) want to see more how you did that rail mount.

It's an Air Venturi Intermount made for the Benjamin Sheridan.

I also had to sculpt and grind the butt pad to fit my shoulder.

I was looking for an insert inside that front rail mount, and you got it covered   Nice job!

What would it cost for one of those LW barrels?

Does the intermount work better on the hatsan than the Crosman air guns?

Yes, sanded the aluminum with 80 grit on the belt sander. That washer is just a spacer.

I mounted it in front of the barrel band so I wouldn't change my POI every time I removed the barrel.  It's a RDS so it has unlimited eye relief.  If you're using a scope you'd need to move the intermount behind the barrel band.

i may grind down my action yours looks great

Thanks, I'm happy with the way it fits me now.
