AV Avenger

[Wayne52]

It seems that the .25 that I have is too much hammer spring because even with the hammer backed out all the way with my regulator set for 2kpsi I see no difference at all increasing the hammer. It needs a lighter hammer spring in it in my opinion.

[Gixxer340]

I set my regulator to 2100 psi for initial tuning. I haven't even had a chance to site it in yet. Hopfully some time this week. and some chrony work as well. I am trying to get JSB kings flying at around 895 and Hades at around 880. I think that will be a good hunting tune for me. We'll see.

I had my Avenger .25 out today , all of you guys that bought the Avenger make darn sure you torque the pic rail down for the scope , and also check the barrel band make sure it is also snugged down  ..

I had POI shift on my gun today, and figured out everything I just mentioned was loose    after torque down ,and with out the trigger adjusted the way I like it ,  I was still  able to do 2 = 50 yard groups-  8 shots ragged hole on the 1st ..then 10-12 shots ragged hole again for the second group using 25,39 kings 880-890 fps ... I had a couple trigger flyers I will call them , so next is to get this trigger dialed in for punching paper more to what I like ... 

So After the first session with this gun... ya know it  just fits me really well every thing is right where I need it ...the stock just fits me very well ad that to the gun being very light it makes off handed shooting feel  very natural , perfect for hiking woods gun , just like my Vectis is  the accuracy is all there ...the Avenger shoot as good as any gun out there a ragged hole at 50 yds !

I also found a lot of loose (not so tight) screws. Purple threadlocker will save a lot of headaches and missing screws.

I actually slept pretty good last night. But I woke up this morning with the gun on my mind. So I drank some coffee, smoked some cigarettes loaded up a couple mags with the JSB Diabolo Kings 25.39 and waited for the sun to come up enough to see the target.
Keep in mind, I shot 1 pellet out of this gun last night just to make sure it functioned properly before I even scoped it. Then I pulled the picatinny rails out of the scope box (never used) and mounted the scope. When daylight finally broke I stepped out onto the deck where I had a bench set up at 21yds from a previous shooting session. There was even a target still hanging at the back stop.
Impressed would be an understatement... I would think amazed might be more like it.
No scope adjustment and the fill and reg pressures matched at 2900. 8 shots hit about 1" northwest of POA and a dime would cover the group.
This is going to be a fun gun.

I think it may be time to begin my own thread on this gun. This thread is a good place to share general information on these guns but I think more in depth individual reviews would be way too much all lumped in one thread. I've seen these thread grow to 100 plus pages. Alot of info gets lost in all those pages.
I will post a link here once I get going.

I had a missing screw on the pic rail under the rifle.  When I tried to put the one screw that was left in that spot it was stripped out.  I ended up drilling an tapping to a larger screw!  I would strongly agree with everyone when they say CHECK YOUR SCREWS!!! If anyone needs to add a new screw to the underside pic rail, make sure you keep it the same length as stock or it will come in contact with the air cylinder.

Its looks like one googd guy took advantage of my one time offer for a free power tune, regulator rectify. I am going to open her up and see if she can out do my 60+ fpe liberty.

[fv22]

Waiting to get mine in. FedEx says it will be today! Hope its not too late as I am free today but have lots to do tomorrow and Thursday and am going out of town Friday so won't have much time with it before I go. Plan on checking all screws, cleaning barrel, mounting the scope and testing out a few mag's full of pellets before I make any adjustments.

Decided to do a sound comparison on the donny tanto ,with and without, stock 98.9 with tanto 87.1,this is with four  holes drilled at the base of shrould and the magic eraser diffuser mod ,later today after mail arrives I'll install the Haji stripper and baffles and measure again, over 10 db is alot of sound change. But at 150 dollars it ain't cheap , the haji is 40 plus shipping so that might be the best bang (or lack of ) for the buck.

[Ironman482]

The mail came with the Haji parts, gott'em installed and tested . The Haji air stripper and baffles only were 93.9 and combined with the tanto were 86.8 , so the tanto alone gets you 11.8 db quieter and the Haji alone gets 5 db and combined gets 12.1 db, so 45.00 = 5 db ,145.00= 11.8 db and 190.00 = 12.1, looks like the tanto gets the most reduction in noise for the money, YMMV.

Well, fedex screwed me over. After 4 days of the tracking report saying it would be in today and sitting home waiting since its a signature required item it did not show up. After getting no satisfaction with the customer service rep I spoke to the supervisor who did nothing for me either. Looks like my wife or I have to sit home all day again tomorrow waiting for fedex to do their job.

Is the avenger shroud support like the liberty?  Does it have that solid plastic slug about 2 inches from the end of the barrel to keep shroud,  barrel alignment? If so, did you remove it?

I can vouch that it does not. I received an Avenger monocore shroud baffle today from GeoffK who said it fits the same way in Avengers (no plastic slug), and it fit my Origin like a glove (also no plastic slug). Push-in snug fit over the barrel muzzle which itself is way down in the shroud.

[RDB]

Does it have a traditional stripper then? What keeps the barrel centered in the shroud?

[scratchnv]

Hey Rod,
The avenger shroud support is similar to the Liberty, except it is an open design which allows air to get to the back of the shroud, whereas the Liberty does not. I had to drill out holes in the Liberty support to try to get air to the back.  The Avenger support sits 5.25" behind the muzzle; the Liberty is 4" behind the muzzle.

Thanks Steve. With Haji's stripper that could be removed then.  Half tempted to pick one up.  Really enjoyed the liberty. 

[scratchnv]

I still love my 3 Liberty's, but I think I love my Avenger 25 cal even more!
