45. cal Airforce Texan LSS CF suppressed PCP Air rifle (project air rifle)

[kurisu]

That is actually how quiet it is, not my phone cutting the audio.

My new project is turning this suppressed beast into a hunting rifle with superpowers.
I bought it for $1400 from Airgun Depot since they're located in my state, although I do regret not spending an extra $250 for a scope (most likely shitty) and an external refill tank bundle that would've been very convenient.

I don't plan on going cheap on the optic either, (although It's not necessarily needed since there's very little recoil)
I plan on putting a trijicon optic on it OR a infrared thermal optic just to compensate for my tiny .


Before I buy the optics for it I'm going to drop another $400 for this fancy custom stock, since the furniture that came on the gun is absolutely terrible in my opinion. I understand that they wanted to make the rifle weigh less than 8 pounds, but it feels like shit to me for the price tag. I'm shwaggin it out for sure.

This is a shorter Texan SS version, my suppressor is bigger (big )

Here are the specs on the air rifle, when comparing it to a smokeless powder caliber it has roughly the same muzzle energy as a .357 magnum -Some say it's as powerful as a .45 super when you adjust the pressure correctly.

I'd like to find a range that will allow me to shoot it at 300-500 yards (275-450 meters for u europoors out there). I'll take more videos and pictures as I build it or if I take it to the range.

It feels really nice to shoot, the recoil kind of just bounces off of you and isn't nearly as violent as a smokeless powder rifle.

Unfortunately there's already rust on it, which is disappointing. But not a big deal if you know how to do proper maintenance on it.
Though I am a little scared to use gun oil with it because it could possibly destroy the O-rings. I got a little bit on the plastic furniture, wiped it off but the next day you could see that it damaged it a little bit.

Disclaimer: This isn't a firearm so the suppressor is legal. Fuck 12 and the ATF

I got a bunch of air rifles fun as shit to shoot and economical. Don't have anything that big of a caliber. How heavy is it. Could you wack bambi with it, i.e. would it be comfortable to carry for a couple hours while tromping in the woods? I have a hatsan 25 which is just a cinderblock.

I spent a little more and got the carbon fiber tank which cut a good 2 lbs off of it while adding an extra 600 PSI. It is pretty front heavy due to the suppressor, but it only weighs between 6-7 pounds. Mine's really long and awkward to carry, but it's so light I don't see it causing an issue to carry it for extended periods of time. It does however seem fairly fragile, so I'll have to be very careful with it -hence why I want to buy the beefy custom stock that'll probably make it around a 10 pound rifle.

Unfortunately Ohio doesn't allow using airguns for deer hunting. Kentucky now allows it and I have a spot down there.

A break barrel pistol would be cool, I got into the airgun thing because I live right off of the highway and can't shoot real guns. So I spend a lot of time target practicing with a .177 break-barrel pellet gun

Yeah I had a Ruger .177 and man I hated that thing. I wouldn't even come close 3/10 times, maybe hit dead on target 1/10 and the rest eh, I hit the paper? The thing was the hold, I was using the normal army M16 training but learned you had to use an "arty hold" let the gun slide in your grip to compensate for the spring recoil. Had some fun dieseling it though. I was pushing well over supersonic with heaviest pellets and they were shooting right through cookie sheets at 30 yards.

Va it only depends on caliber. Nothing under 25 can be used for deer hunting similar in AZ. Though I would want something heavier like your rig to actually hunt. I understand the 50 puts out the same fl/lbs as a 45 acp with similar grain weight. That's fucking impressive.

A 6dB reduction! Lol. A .380 is almost 40dB louder

dB are measured in levels 116 doesn't mean only 6 more it means magnitude.
In order to make the decibel system more practical for describing audio in its many forms, ratios are used to help simplify all of the math. The term dB is meaningless unless the reference is defined. The reference relates to what technical aspect you are actually measuring. Thus, a descriptive term will follow the dB in order to define that reference.


The term dBv, for example is used to describe voltage level with a reference of .775 volts. The term dBspl, is used to describe the sound pressure level with a reference of 20 micro pascals. Unless the person you are communicating with understands the reference implied, the number associated with the term dB is meaningless.


Sound pressure level (dBspl) for example, implies that twice as loud is defined as a 6 DB difference. By contrast, power (dBm) implies that 3 dB is considered twice as loud. Understanding this distinction is important.

Yes, I saw that before buying. And I almost went for the one without the suppressor.
Yes, 6 decibels isn't much at all but the "suppressor" greatly reduces the sharp crack heard in the other air rifles.

This is more of a dull thud instead. My dogs weren't even scared of the thing and they were right next to me when I shot the video. (My dogs do not like guns)
This is a hunting rifle, so the suppressor works as intended by not scaring off animals even when they're right next to me. It's about as loud as my Ruger break barrel .177 pellet gun. but even that has a sharp crack when fired, this really doesn't. Make sense?

I had the same break barrel. LOL. put a drop of 3n1 oil on the skirt of the pellet and diesel the shit out of it. Sounds like a 22 LR and will punch through steel cookie sheets at 25 yards.

Doesn't work everytime. because you have to clear the barrel of the burnt oil. So supersonic .177, reg shot, supersonic .177
