Pinty Tactical Airgun.

[splitbeing]

Hmmm... maybe the baracuda variants (hunter, hextreme, match)?

Total oddball idea, I know, but apolo makes a jumbo pointed pellet with a skirt filled in and so shallow just like a crosman pellet. It shoots accurate out of my guns that like cphps, but in my guns lost too much energy cause of the weight. In this pcp though...

 I most likely will not shoot slugs out of this rifle, the Norma 17.6 gr pellets do deliver stellar accuracy and I have a bunch of them
 I already have a Escape UL with 2 barrels that shoots .20 and .22 cal slugs, and can choose unregulated and regulated bottles. I think my range was too brightly light for a Darkside video LOL

Those of you that haven't caught the train yet will have to spend $20 more for the ticket. I see Pinty jacked the price to 299 on the pup and tactical.
Maybe because of the partial refunds they are giving folks that are balking on the (imo) minor shortcomings.
With all the hoopla posted around these guns here, I knew exactly what I could be getting when I ordered mine. I'll be addressing those issues if I have to by following what others have already done.

Or maybe... Pinty addressed the issues on the remaining guns already at an additional cost to them. I guess that remains to be seen.

Added a 21" QB barrel with a loading tray. Moved the barrel further back to the valve to reduce the dead space between the pellet and valve. 13" fully functional shroud with a 1/2x20 adapter and a sub 2lb trigger.

Pretty sweet... got any numbers yet?

I mailed my modified sear out. Waiting on their factory sear to get here. I'll grab #'s then.

LOL... such a giver.
Just a heads up... I'm going to have a look at the sear on mine when it comes in tomorrow to see if I have the tools and skills to do your shaping/smoothing to it. But if I don't feel comfortable would you be willing to extend your services?
I would be willing to wait until you receive mine before you send me yours so you wouldn't be without one for longer than it takes to do the mod. Or you could just mod mine and return it.

No problem. I've been charging $20 and that includes the return shipping. That offer would go to any member that doesn't want to tackle it.

I just polished the existing two edges.

It did make the trigger action smoother, but not anything else.

Troy, what does curving the front do and what does angling the top edge do ?

Thanks, Robert

When you pull the trigger the factory sear has to push the hammer forward before it can fire adding the hammer spring weight to the trigger pull. The curvature is the radius of the pivot so there's no fighting the hammer spring. The angle after reducing the height, shortens trigger pull length and allows clearance for the hammer to release after trigger breaks.

Does it affect the hammer spring adjustment?... travel?
I guess what I mean is... does it change the FPS from factory?

Almost has to change it a little since you're not pushing the hammer back farther during the shot. I really noticed no  major difference in speed though over the chrony. I might have lost 10fps or so but the difference in the trigger now vs then I'll gladly trade that difference.

Man I wish the wood stocked rifle was available in .25 caliber!  What's the chance of adapting an existing .25 barrel to fit?

Should be rather upfront. You can thread the factory probe and make a thread on adapter to convert it to .25. I've done that many times.

That's what I was thinking. I do know that when you adjust a regulator that you will want to also adjust the hammer spring to balance things. So, do you think if you adjust the hammer spring to get that 10 or so fps back you would also increase the trigger pull to be harder again? I ain't saying I would, I'm just curious.
Pretty sure you would also gain a few more shots before coming off the reg with your mod.

[avator]

heck, since we're already here, let's talk about it...
I don't have a ton of experience with regulated guns but the way I understand it is that you set your reg where you are happy with the power and how accurately it shoots your selected ammo. Then you adjust your hammer spring to the the peek of the fps until it begins to drop then back off the HS just a bit.
Is that how you do it?

 I took mine out in the wild today, had a couple shots go off like 1/2 power, thinking  sear drag or I got some slug shavings in the action , seemed to be working ok when I shot this video LOL

Yup pretty much, Plenum volume is the limiting factor on the power this gun can make.

Yeah, I'm not big on squeezing all the power out of a gun it can muster. I am more interested in it shooting my cast pellets accurately and shot count per fill. Now that's not to say I would be happy with a 6 fpe gun that gets 200 shots per fill. I do want it to make holes in paper... and the occasional critter.
