Air Venturi Avenge X: Power Plenum - Yay or No Thanks!

[@nathanw5747]

What you should do is an installation video of how you install it!.

[@vansantsam]

Proper setting for regulator and hammer spring is 10% less than max velocity.. So if your goal is to shoot 18.13 grain .22 pellets at 880 fps then you need to set up for max velocity of 978 fps turning the regulator up and the hammer spring up so that any increase in hammer spring does not yield any more velocity.. Once you reach the 978 fps then back the hammer spring off 10% so that your velocity is now 880 fps.. This will dump 90% of the air in the plenum, it will stop any blow by from the main air supply and make your regulator operate more accurately.. Plenum size is not as critical as some may lead you to believe.. It is like the bell curve on a non-regulated air gun where on the front side of the bell curve you have a short burst of high pressure and on the other side of the apex you have a long burst of lower pressure, both will yield the same velocity, because the volume of air is about the same.. Some of this is snake oil designed to get some bucks from your wallet, but offering little to no benefit.. A side note - sometimes people think that they need to turn the regulator up for more velocity when in fact turning it down can give faster velocity because the hammer has an easier task of opening the output valve with the lower pressure.. But lowering the regulator pressure too much can cause influence from the main air supply and you will get blow by because the valve is open too far and for too long, completely emptying the plenum and allowing in rushing air from the main source to by pass the regulator and output valve thus causing inconsistent pressures to the pellet..

[@vansantsam]

To propel a pellet at any given velocity takes the same amount of air.. Either a short burst of high pressure or longer burst of lower pressure.. If you can increase the hammer spring tension and gain velocity means that at your current setting you are not releasing all the air in the plenum.. Higher hammer settings release more air from the plenum.. Higher regulator setting will make the regulator more efficient.. With higher regulator setting you may not get as many shots on the regulator simply because you come off the regulator at a higher pressure (2000 psi vs 1500 psi), but you may get more usable shots after you come off the regulator.. Larger plenums benefit because you release less air from the plenum and the left over air helps to close the output valve, with less chance of blow by and wasted air. For example if you release 50% there is still 50% left to help close the output valve, if you release 90% that means only 10% is left to help close the valve and is vulnerable to blow by, where the fast air rushing in to fill the plenum gets past the regulator and plenum because the output valve has not fully closed.. Once the output valve has closed then the regulator will close once it reaches its pressure setting, thus filling the plenum..

Thanks for the positive feedback on my plenums. 👍🏻

[@badgerairsport]

Any time! It works like a dream!

[@kurtthomas4746]

Hi, where do we contact you, if we want to add the power plenum. Thanks

[@chrisennis6771]

How and where to get your power plenum?

[@qualityfun8304]

@@chrisennis6771 you can contact saaairrifle is South africa. If outside of South africa they will give you contact details of Hannes in the usa.

[@chrisennis6771]

@qualityfun8304 thanks for information

[@yehonatanangel8553]

I live in the USA, they don’t sell this bottle version and I really like it. Can I order from you the rifle or only the bottle to the US? Thank 🙏🏼

[@filoIII]

I'm thinking the MA2, XM1 Ranger, Airacuda Max, M16A, and the Avenge-X. Was about to go for the Ranger, due to ease of ordering and lightweight, but found the Avenge-X refurbs for $399. I'm about to pull the trigger on that one, but I'm PCP ignorant.

[@badgerairsport]

Honestly, I've shot and worked on most of those rifles. The ease of adjusting the X's regulator and hammerspring combined with so many aftermarket options it's a great, robust, reliable rifle. My range rifles have 10k+ pellets through them, not a single service or even cleaning done.

[@filoIII]

@@badgerairsport Here's what a fellow youtube airgun channel told me about the Avenge-X----" a few fellow KZbinrs been telling me about the problems they been facing with the rifle. How I said hammer spring and lock regulators."

[@badgerairsport]

@@filoIII It is honestly not my experience although our specs are slightly different in SA.

[@editor1968]

Tengo un avenger X y esa solución me pareció muy ante-estetico...el diseño del Avenger x, no fue pensado para hacer una mejora en power plenum, es un rifle muy limitado para mejores, inclusive no dejaron la opción de montar una botella de mayor capacidad del tradición m18x1.5, no entiendo como no dejaron una opción tan basica

[@badgerairsport]

There is a power plenum available for the Avenger - saairrifles.co.za/product/avenger-and-leviathan-power-plenum/

[@spycamseguridadelectronica7615]

pues yo creo que se mira mas maton con el plenum, y que si le va a ayudar a ser mas eficiente, recuerda que el FX FDR o como se llame usa un plenum mas grande para su version mas larga de canon

[@nickvandermerwe5639]

Nice

[@terminadorairgunsandoutdoors]

he doesn't like adding doo-dads to his rifle, but when he does, he gets stoked

[@1503ONERUS]

If you guys think the plenum works well . Marry it to the hammer spring alien sells .. I'm at 28 grain to 30 grain slugs moving em at 1010fps to 1025fps out of my avenge x 25 cal

[@spycamseguridadelectronica7615]

tell as how

How can we purchase One of those I live in the USA Is there a link Or a store we can order from

If you want to shoot 25.39 at 900 you absolutely have no need for the extra plenum.

[@adamreisman9187]

Only 27 shots? Something seems off there. Shot count should be higher?

[@WillievanGraan84]

Wynand help my asb reg as ek verkeerd is, ek het ook die Avenge-X. Ek is seker standaard sal hy n 25grain slug skiet tussen 800 - 900 FPS. Is daai nie genoeg krag om te jag met n 25grain slug nie? Then again.. jy kan dieselfde wild jag met n 23 grain slug of pellet. Mind you.. ek weet van ouens wat rooibokke skiet met 18.13 grain heavys. Iemand vertel my die week sy pel het n Kudu bul plat geskiet op 30 meter met die 18.13 grain. Obviously n goeie kop skoot. Ek hou myne standard. Sal like as jy reply met jou denke. Blessings Mnr.

[@badgerairsport]

Hi, yes technically kan jy 25gr slugs / pellets skiet maar jou reg pressure sal op 180bar sit wat beteken jy het so 20 goeie skote. Jy moet ook beslus 'n power plenum add om die pressure die beste te gebruik. Ek skiet 10 21gr JTS pellets op 100m in a R5 coin at 900fps at 150bar. My Deltaforce setup for PRS has the power plenum, regulator op 100bar en skiet 20Gr JSB lights teen 900fps met 'n Standerd Deviation of 2.8

[@WillievanGraan84]

Dankie maat, waar kan ek die plenum bestel? Sal hy pas op die Avenge-X classic wood stock version?​@@badgerairsport

[@BriceP.O.I.]

Great video, lots of useful information. Thanks!

[@lotechgreg]

REALLY want to order one, but their cart is locked to SA for shipping. E-mailed them to find out if they have come up with a solution for those of us in the US. Hope they answer as there is some chatter on AGN about them not answering e-mails, and, I'm not on whatsap. @badgerairsport , any help you may be able to give with your friend Ian, would be appreciated. TIA

[@badgerairsport]

Hi guy! I'll sort this out ASAP!
