P-Rifle on the way

Referencing back to post #178, where I started this Mod to Get the Bark Out of my P-Carbine to present

This can be for DIY by purchasing some tin wall aluminum tubing, tube of JB weld, and a Beeman Underlever Suppressor Kit, which allows two selective UNI suppressors

OR for fastest and easiest : the 18mm collet suppressor using the original shroud , both are from Buck Rail (Barrel Band Pending)

All will take the Bark Out from this P-Carbine, as my Mod did Exceptionally Well compared to my Fortitude db
with out having a db meter I can only say db comes close maybe quieter then a RED Ryder BB Gun'

Not tested on rifle yet, but here are the variations for new barrel band. One with, and one without, pic rails.

Hello bands! Good to see you!

[Papa T]

Tried the bands out tonight, did b-e-a-u-tiful. And looks good too. Decided to stick with the picatinny version for now, and giving it some glam up.

Center group was control group before bands, top left was straight band (no picatinny), and top right was picatinny band. Pulled at least one shot early, and found I'm not at all practiced/steady with bipod. 🫣

 Pinty Rifle .22

 This PCP Air rifle was ordered through Ama zon dotcom through the vendor Pinty Direct. 10 % off along with shipping cost was $220.

  Today I received the P-Rifle in a nice box with full styrofoam protection. The airtube was empty when received. Included were 2 of ten shot magazines and a baggy of different O-Rings and a small container of sealing oil. I didn't see a Single Shot tray, I would have loved one even if it is a Side Lever.
  Handling it feels very nice I very much like the shape of the stock. Sitting Right under 38" OAL   this makes for a fast handling AG.
  The side lever action is very smooth and has a Flow through Bolt, very nice. The trigger is short and very light. The trigger does not appear to be adjustable. The Air gauge at the front of the Air tube is numbered in Bar with a 250 bar limit. The Gauge has a glow in the dark face after exposing the gauge to bright light.

Using a new 4 stage Hand pump from Amazon I Filled full to 250 bar. I lost count while pumping. For the first few pumps the air was passing the valve into the barrel. Using a quick pumping action a few times was enough to close the valve to take air. The hand pump said 3000 PSI by the time the 250 bar limit was reached. I don't speak bar so I watched the PSI gauge to compare to the bar gauge on the P-Rifle.
 Shot report is LOUD. Like loud loud. Im wondering if the 14x1.25 LDC I've seen on BR would fit. I might email BR to see if the LDC will work on the P-Rifle.
 The barrel sleeve test for a barrelband sent by airgunmods dotcom does not fit. I'll need to email him to let him know.

 I removed a Pinty 3-9x32mm AOEG scope from the Crosman Bottlegun and mounted onto the P-Rifle using a Dove-pic rail and medium height rings. I Took shots at 35 yards to get close to sight in and shot a few pellets through the chrono.

 Hammer Spring adjustment backed out All the way

250 bar start

APT 18.0gr
830-840 FPS
27.7 FPE

20 shots later it looks to have around 2000 PSI left.

I will have to setup my other chrono before I can get a full shot string together.
Fun, loud, regulated fun.

 Nukall I have the 18mm Buck Rail over the shroud compression fitting suppressor, it works wonders, simple installation.

[Nukall856]

Back_Roads,
 
 Thanks to you I found that a week or so ago and For a number of days I have been waiting for BR to have the 18mm Collet Suppressor to be in stock. Today I ordered the two 18mm that were available, one for the UX Iconix and the other for the P-Rifle.
 The Pinty 3-9x32mm AOEG has short eye relief though provides a clear view and also has illuminated reticle with hash marks for judging distance or drop at further ranges. I'm thinking to order a Pinty 4-16x40mm AOL for this Airgun.
  At a later time I'll be testing other pellets. The shot report is loud that I can't be shooting in the backyard. I have to go under the hill or to the tundra to be shooting some of the loud unmoderated air rifles I have.

 Good deal I did some 50 yard plinking after work with my P-Carbine with the Buch Rail doohickey thingy

How'd the grouping turn out, James?

  Today I refilled the P-Rifle with the new 4stage hand pump. This time I paid closer attention to the markings on the Air gauge as I filled the airgun. At 2900 the P-Rifle gauge was right at the Beginning of the red mark so I stopped there.
 I installed the RCO barrel band and the BR Collet LDC and head out with Two magazines filled and a baggy of pellets. The first two fills I had shot with the Pinty 3-9x32mm AOEG set on 4x. I let one shot off at 35 yards. Good. I then moved the magnification dial to 5x. Doing this did seem to move my POI higher. I'll have to test more on if the scope can hold POI after changing magnification settings.
 After 25 shots with Apolo Pointed 18.0gr it looks like the P-Rifle gauge shows something right under 2000 PSI left.
 The RedCornOutdoors barrelband with a bottom pic rail works good. I also bought the non Pic barrelband. This does not fit. I might have to use sandpaper on the openings to get it to fit right. The Buckrail Collet LDC works very good at calming down the shot report.
 I received an email from airgunmods dotcom including a picture of a draft of what the new AGM Barrelband will look like. Looks good.

Interesting to hear that the non-pic band did not fit. Both of mine slipped on nice and tight, although he told me he was going to open up the barrel portion a little more for easier slide. I'm sure if you reached out, he'd make it right. For my own curiosity, what was the fitment issue? Glad to hear you are enjoying pic rail version, and collet moderator from BR is a win. Look forward to seeing the AGM band.

Does remind me, I was asked about just tube band with pic rail for bipod/accessories. Specifically for the pup, but since they appear to be same size tube, may interest others here as well.

[Nukall856]

Papa T,
 The PIC barrelband fit snug and while installing I watched to make sure the band was not shifting the barrel. It went on good. I then tried installing the plain barrelband and the barrel part was tight and the gap section is wider than it needs to be. I'm sure I can get it to fit with some sand paper and some time.
  If Barra mags fit then the Beeman mags I have might fit. I'll check before the next time I take the P-Rifle out.

 Today with around 2200 PSI I head out and shot some paper targets. I knew I didn't have a lot of air left before the regulator fell off so for now I tested 3 shots through chrono then 3 shots on target. No changes were made to the sight in setup for APT 18.0gr.
 The first group on the right 3 shots with NGT 17.6gr. The left target was HN Barracuda 18.1gr. By the time I started the HNB18 group the Airgun was just falling off the regulator.
 After the 3 shot group the last shot was 809FPS with around 1700 PSI. So I will have to retest HNB18s and a few other heavy pellets. The NGT do very good.
 One thing. The handle on the side lever came off while cycling the bolt. You need to keep that little screw tight.

For any still on the fence, only the P-Rifle is left and they are flash saling it for $209.99 with code force5.

[splitbeing]

Thanks, Terry! 

Nukall, did you try baracuda hunters?

[Nukall856]

splitbeing,
 I have HNB 18.1gr, HNBH 18.2gr I also have the HN Hunter Extremes 18.8gr, HN B 21.1gr and HNHP 5.53mm 21gr slugs that I'd like to try in the P-Rifle. I have a lot of heavy pellets types to test. With this P-Rifle I'll be mainly testing heavy 18gr+ pellets.

I've seen they do so well in the pups, and my brother picked up 9 tins of them, so thought I'd give them a try (hopefully Monday). I do like the idea of testing mostly 18+ (adult) pellets/slugs in it. Also still haven't done any slug games myself.

[splitbeing]

As far as h&n pellets go, which is mostly what I shoot, the 18gr baracuda hunter tends to be the better pellet in .22 than the others.  To put it in JSB terms, the h&n baracuda hunter is kinda like the jsb 18.13 folks talk about.
