Very good content Jeremiah. I'm actually watching DAR and JTS videos to help me decide on the DAR Gen 3. I was concerned with the lower power level (especially with DAR having shorter barrel). I like the DAR more for certain reasons (for me, DAR stock is the way to go. It looks better for me and I don't need pistol grip or adjustable comb). Longer barrel I prefer, but no biggie. Dual air pressure gauge or single, no biggie. Even though I felt DAR might be in the lower power spectrum (originally I thought might be too low), I was looking for something simple, cheap but well made and accurate to shoot my lighter pellets (.177, .22 and .25...I thought DAR Gen 3 was available in .177; I guess not) so I don't have to tune down my other toys to shoot lighter pellets. You've made a very informative video. Thank you. This helps me decide to get the DAR (.22 and .25....I was just looking at the .22; but now it seems that even for the .25 I can be happy with the power and velocity DAR Gen 3 can produce after tuning it up a bit for more pressure/power; but not to HP level). Again, my goal was to use my lighter pellets accurately and conveniently. Thank you bro. Keep it going!

This stuff is great! I’m new to the pcp thing and you explain better than anyone else I’ve watched. I’m not willing to go to 4300 lbs. I would guess it could handle double under testing. Like the climbers in the background they can actually hold triple your body weight. It’s govt bs. Thanks !

Hello, I brought my Airacuda Max out for slug test. 885 fps. Upped my reg to 2800 to start. Then hammer spring adjustments. My low start was 763 fps. 20 shots 1 fill. (4300lb fill). Still trying to figure out how to share my chronograph info. I used HN 25 cal 32g. HP. WOW !

Great Info. I tuned my Airacuda Max .25 to shoot the JSB king diabolo 25.39g. reg at 2600 to start, and careful hammer spring adjustment. No valve spring cap adjustment yet. I Get 956 fps. 51.54 foot pound. And JSB Hades at 26.54gr are at 926 to 922. 50.45 ft/lb. With the reg set higher I can full 20 shots maybe the last 2 drop to 900-895 fps. I don't shoot past 2000 psi on reg. But I think my gun still shoot when the regulator is 1750. So I don't worry about shooting past my reg. Also I fill at 4000-4300.

So I am in Norman county MN. I shoot on the Red River. Red squirrel and coyote. MN is stupid strict on regs made by people who are totally in experienced. Long story short, when I adjust a hammer spring I do it like a sprint car. 1/8th. 1/16 back My reg settled now to 2575psi. I don't know if I can or how to share the chrono results. So I can screenshot and send it. I was just so surprised that what I did worked, and I all was doing setting up my airgun and watching my minnow trap.

How come when I turn the hammer spring screw in more then 3 turns in i can no longer cock the side lever?
@themichiganoutdoorsman Жыл бұрын
My only guess would be the spring is so bunched up after three turns in, it will not allow the bolt to travel back and engage the seer on the trigger group. I have the same issue if I turn my screw in too far.

What does that springy twang sound mean? Does it mean the hammer spring needs to be tightened or loosened up? My groups are 2 1/4" at 50yds and it twangs pretty loud. I have the 22 cal and I'm shooting 20.2 slugs.

You don't know what you're doing, and the information you're providing will get someone hurt. First of all, never overfill the air chamber. Going to pressures beyond recommended limits will cause a failure. And high pressure vessels fail with surprising amounts of energy. Do NOT use any petroleum lubricants on high-pressure o-rings or seals. Under high pressure they can ignite and explode. As for adjusting the regulator, follow the manufacturer's instructions which can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH-1e2yij7aVhJI

Hey buddy ... that gun will get up to 70fpe you change the valve spring but just start by backing off the valve spring cap for less tension and I promise you will get more power then you need.... having your reg set that high only makes the valve harder to open against that high psi pressure plus having that stiff valve spring pushing against the valve pin only makes it harder.....if you change that valve spring you'll be able to turn that gun into a monster

Get a slug swage to make your own slugs, some companies that make these swages will actually sell the slugs for you to test before splashing the cash to see if the grouping is good for your airgun. Reason why o say to get one is that slugs made by a machine often vary a whole lot more in weight and caliber (i use a pellet resizer for this reason for consisrency purposes) get a reloaders scale that does 2 decimal places (amazon sells them pretty cheap enough which are good enough for sorting pellets/slugs by weight) for grain measurements and weigh the slugs straight out of the tin, youll see it yourself how much the weight can vary, using a swage the difference is often only at the most a couple hundredths of a grain and due to them being squeezed into the right shape at high pressure they always have the same caliber which means much better consistency with your accuracy so if you are stacking slugs/pellets with unsorted and unweighed ammo youll be able to do it even easier once you remove more variables. Tldr: swaged pellets/slugs are more consistent in caliber and weight resulting in better grouping and you can buy swaged ammo from some companies that sell swages to test for yourself

@@gabrieltiso8537 the actual barrel sits inside a shroud most all models in the pcp air rifle world. If you look up the specs on this model online, the actual is like 17" which is pretty short for air rifle and not very capable of superior accuracy at long distances. You want an good pcp rifle to be at least 19.7" or around 20" on up for long distance or superior accuracy/both. the Air Venturi Avenger model has a 23" barrel. Therefore making it the better choice bargain regulated pcp rifle. Alot of the ones you see here on UTube making really long shots with superior accuracy have good long barrels on them which speeds up the projectile more therefore requiring heavier projectiles therefore making it more accurate. Barrels have different twist rates as well. Slower, faster. Kinda like muzzle loader stuff. So you have to pay attention to all these things when choosing for the need. Also pellets are all different. Some use in fast rate twist barrels and then made for slow twist rates. Alot to pay attention to. But it's fun and with the power and technology of the millennium later years, it's just insane awesome! Me being into air power over 40 yrs now, it's like me being a kid in a candy store!
