Quote from: Nomadic Pirate on September 06, 2021, 01:58:57 PMDon't use the set screw to set the tank short of fully screwed in, ......also to use that you would need to remove the scope rail, not something you can do in the field.if by any chance the 2 air tanks you have are different ( that hasn't happened with the 5 I have ) .....in that case get the one where the valve sticks out more, losen the 2 grab screws that hold the barrel, now the barrel if free to be unscrewed do that a bit, screw the tank fully in the gun, screw the barrel back in until it kisses the valve, set the barrel grub screws to keep it in position.now the other tank might have a tiny extra space between valve and barrel but it will not make a difference since the sleeve covers the valve.As for arrows, what caliber you have ? ....Airbolts work great it's just a matter of cutting them down a bit to fit the barrel.Yeah, I hate dealing with the set screw as I do like keeping the rail and See All on. But I am rethinking the See All sight and looking to get something else. I think all my tanks are the same. But I was told by a dealer that there were some changes to them and I can't for the life of me recall what that was, and I can't seem to find the email about it. I think it has something to do with the valve and that the new generations or whatever you call produced more power, I think? I also have the carbon fiber tank, and like how it has a set ring or adjustment ring that allows to set how deep you screw on the tanks valve. I was wondering if you could have something like this on the regular steel tanks as well to set how deep you can screw the tank on. This way you won't have to adjust the barrel depth any. I apologize if I use the wrong terms on some of the parts. I'm still learning.I have the 50. I bought some of the AirBolts thinking I was going to get me a Seneca Double Shot, but found out that CAP Arms doesn't do their magic power mod on the Double shot. I was really set on this and ended up dropping the Seneca option for some other projects. I even bought and paid for a few sets of the Air Nocks, nearly a year ago and still have not received them, arghh!!! After seeing the killer image of your Rex that has the modified shroud, with an AR like stock and 3 AirBolts with broadheads. It renewed my interests in being able to shoot arrows of of it. Part of the reason why I never pursued the arrow Rex option, was I was told you can't do this by a dealer. But obviously it looks like you can. Did you cut it down from the nock section or from the front? Correct me if I am wrong, by the look of that 2012 photo of your Rex with the arrows. Aren't 357 AirBolts? Anyway, I'd be interested in your method you went through to size the AirBolts to shoot out of the Rex. Mahalo...

Had other things going on. Much thanks for the tip. I like your suggested option better than what another suggested. Which was to get a heat gun and heat the nock and remove it when the glue has loosened up. Then cut it from there and re-glue it on after measuring it out. What do you do to remove the aluminum tip you screw the bolt on? I have some ideas, but would rather learn from someone that has already successfully did it before. I would think the aluminum cup has some length to it to fit down the arrow shaft and to have enough female threads to accept the bolt, maybe an inch or so?I can imagine the power output with these air bolts. Had you ever chrono'd this and if so what did you get? Thanks again. I appreciate your taking the time to offer a tip.

Ho yes and mines are .357.....been waiting for the .357 airbolts to came back in stock for years but a .50 should be in my near future

I ordered some nocks almost a year ago and still haven't gotten them. AV seems really slow on making these. I'm sure you know this, but just in case you didn't. Pyramyd offers buy 3 get 1 free on the air bolts, as they treat them as ammo. I accidently found this out. As they don't tell you when you order arrows and I wasn't associating this as ammo. I originally was just going to buy a box. But out of curiosity, I wanted to see how many they had in stock, so I added 5 boxes in the cart thing to see if it would take, and whataknow, a free one popped up! So I thought, what the heck and went for it & did the 3 for 1 deal! I could always sell a box or two if need be, lol.
You created the unsafe condition yourself by plugging the barrel/shroud. Same thing as having a pellet in the barrel while changing the tank.The world is a dangerous place.
And wear your PPE.. As stupid as it looks, saves you from trips to the ER. Today I was cleaning some mags for a match tomorrow. I was removing the floor plate and my finger slipped, and the spring hit the wall and came back at me. But lucky for my glasses. Yesterday a bullet came back and hit me in the arm. You don't need to wrap yourself in pillows and be that safe, But you need to be aware. There is a thing of being too safe. I witness some people, that were trying to be too safe, that we're actually pretty dangerous. And caused others around them to be very nervous.
OP is never coming back to this thread...
