Thanks Doug!

Thank you Hank, hope you had a happy 4th as well. This unit has always had great 23yd groups but for some reason I put it off to the side. I think it deserves a bit of attention. 😉👍

Thank you BYD! As you know, the LW barrel is supreme. I think I could wring a bit more out of this unit. Up to 18gr, or down to 13.43? Probably both.

the perfect pellet is a myth to get you to spend money . I feel you , the other day I was plinking and I was like what the heck is wrong with this gun or these pellets , turns out my dumbass loaded everyone of them in backwords lol and the two that did good must been by chance

@@BackyardDispatcher That happens sometimes when I don't put on my glasses.😆👍

Thanks Hank! Trying to find THE pellet for this rifle, thought it would be a heavy, but it's not leaning that way.

Thanks Michael, I'm happy to hear that. There's plenty to do, I shouldn't run out of ideas for a while.

Yes, 2260 safepac. If I could do it again, I would get a Disco valve top, HPA fill adapter, and a Lane regulator. Nothing against Froggy's parts, I have many, it just would've been a more appropriate setup for this rifle.

Thanks brother BYD. Too bad the results weren't better. This barrel seems to be limited to 4.52's so far. I'll keep at it.

Thank you BYD!

A fellow air gunner's praise is always the best. Thanks BYD.

@@BriceP.O.I. you don't hold back on your builds that's for sure.

@@BackyardDispatcher

Thanks BYD! Tank valves I get on Ebay, if I need one quickly, Amazon. I have all the belleville washers to adjust them if I need to. The Avenge x 177 isn't choked, but it's a snug bore, doesn't allow the pellet to fumble around. Not like the Avenger barrel, huge heavy choke. I have another X barrel in .22, haven't got the specs on it yet.

Thank you TG, glad you like it!

Thanks Hank.

Thanks RF! I value your opinion.

I appreciate that SG, thank you!

Thank you Hank.

Wow, what you're describing is nary an air gun, but a monster! I have also used a straight pull cocking rod method on my 362, through the rear cap. It would be nice to see that one sometime. Thanks for the good word Spence.

Have you got an e-mail Adress, i can provide you some pictures and a Video If you interested

Can i contact you somehow, then i can Show you :)

@@BriceP.O.I. Yes it was a long way to that, but honestly i have hoped for even more power, but cocking is on a level of strength that i can barely do with two fingers and also the safepac and the brass valve are under overpressure, safepac is rated for 2400psi. I don´t know what kind of valve stem/pin you have but i can recommend trobb from uk, he has a detachable valve stem where you can unscrew the sealing part and change the seals, but then you buy 1.5mm teflon sheet from chinese wareh. and stamp out custom sealings 8mm OD and 3.5mm ID and use this as sealings with a little bit silicone grease and you will have extreme sturdy seal that withstands this extreme high pressure much longer. Also use the safe pack instead of the drop down asa as it gives you much more volume. I experimented with weaker valve springs also but makes no difference at this power levels.

@@SpencerGaming7580 I try to keep my builds within certain limits, keep the original concepts. I use Disco poppets, Drilled out transfer ports, light valve springs, hammer springs no greater than .042", etc. Maybe someday I'll go for max power by any means. I have a few more to build before I can start that project.

The stock valve spring is 1.0" in length, .38" OD, .265 ID, and wire diameter is .054". I'm pretty sure I used a .031" wire dia. spring, with the other dimensions being close to original. I searched amzn to find a kit with the closest measurements. If you have it disassembled, check to see if you can use a spring with an ID smaller than .265, then you will have many options. Try the Keadic kits.

Bought more yesterday.

@@BriceP.O.I. I'm gonna get some this week , how you like them so far?

@@BackyardDispatcher To date, I've had great accuracy with the Baracuda 10.65 4.52 in all of my 177's. But I have some new Baracuda Match 10.65's in 4.50 and have not had the tight groups. I need to try'em in a choked barrel to give you good info. Previous sessions have been in a light-to-no choke barrel.

Thanks Hank, appreciate the comments. I value your opinion.

Thanks BYD, yes, lots of things can be done. I'm doing the valve right now as we speak, and there will be a surprise coming with this one. This could be the last one sold by Crosman, they found a few of them in their warehouse that they didn't know existed from 2021. Bought it in February, then they listed as no longer available. All alterations will be easily reversible.

A steel breech is a must. Buy a spare screw (the tiny ass one under the bolt i bought the flat head instead of hex, glad i did) then a grav mag ( 3d printed magazine available online )

Glad you like it TG. Yeah, you could've went many directions on yours, the green laminate is a nice choice, a solid base for the action and barrel. All are good choices. Thanks

Hello KK, I won't count the Donnyfl moderator because I can use it for other air guns. All in all probably 900 U$ over a 4yr period. I could've done without many of the upgrades and still had a gem. Really only the Donnyfl barrel centering adaptor, moderator, regulator upgrade, and scope are essential.

Thank you JB, I value your comments and opinion. Appreciate the sub, I will return in kind.

Hello TK, I would say it's worth the $50. A good value. I don't like the 3x9 model, will not hold "0". I plan to try the new CVlife "Bearpower" model soon. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you GW!

Thanks.

Thanks SG, I'm glad you like it. Wouldn't mind seeing your set up some time.

It is not required. I do it for a margin of safety and precision port alignment.

Thanks OTA, I returned in kind.

Hey BB, volume 10cc, length 1.30" of which .30" are threads, OD .858", ID UNK, Wall thickness UNK.

AVA barrels are 22.75" and heavily choked, they have a lighter, "running choke" through the entire bore. For slugs, can I suggest taking 2.00" off the muzzle end. Removing the heavy section (cut and crown) leaving a 20.75" total barrel length. BPOI

Yeah, look on my channel at the Crosman's. $65.00 guns can turn into $500.00 very easily. But as for the performance, I'd put some of mine up against much more expensive guns and at least come out even. 🙂

Hello BB, I haven't completed a total shot count from 4300psi down. It's a 500cc bottle, from 3500psi down to 3000 I had a count of 50. I'm confident the count would be over 100.

Thanks IA!

Glad you like it BSA. My first Co2 gun, barrel was so accurate I had to take the gun next level.

Thanks BYD!

Thanks JS, glad you like them. I appreciate the info on the plenum issue. These drop blocks have the same amount of air as the stock valve cap. (not enough) I did notice there was an opportunity there to remove a substantial amount of material. Next time I have one of these open I'll address this then do the comparative tests.

sounds like a good idea the only resign i brought it up is because i bought the same part from the same person. when i took mine apart because of lack of air at a higher psi out put. i realized the way it was design there wasn't enough room to correct the problem on my drop block. i try to explain it to the seller and he acted like it was the way i installed the part. witch wasnt the case the problem were he made the holes and how small they all are the valve holds more are then the plenum it should be the other way around. he told me to send it back but i wasnt going to pay for shipping. if your able to open up i would but take it apart to see if its possible first its also not made from 7570 aluminum so dont open it to much the grade of aluminum he used is not as strong. wich sucks to. just a fyi @@BriceP.O.I.

I'm glad you like it KBB. I got ya, I'm not thrilled with the Dr murfee mount, I would like to find a 50mm bottle band for this and future builds but it's extremely difficult when sellers don't include the band size in the description. Thanks again!

Thanks KBB, I appreciate your opinion.🙂👍 It's Fresinider Cohesive Bandage from amazon.
