Finally got the gun set up ready for FT ...

I took the barrel bands out because it was pulling the barrel down by about 1/8"
Installed Lothar Walther barrel 177
Bushnell Legend 5 to 15 x40 with mil-dot. AO down to 7 yards.
The best part is that Voltar1 Regulator is still in that ext. long cylinder. (4 years later)

Voltar1 Regulator is amazing. I bought and tried another 2 regulators from Poland and UK but the Canadian is the BEST.

I just have to sight in the scope with that barrel then it's good to go.

I still have another project to do with QB78D 177
JD regulated bottle
Archer bulk adaptor
Delrin valve stem
Lothar Walther Barrel 177 cut by Voltar1 to fit the QB.
everything is ready to be put together just need to find the time for it.
Hopefully will be my next FT gun as well.

That looks nice. Are wood stock AT44's, SS or repeaters, going to be available in the near future? They are a very good bang for the buck.

The furniture can be put on either SS or Repeater.
This one is SS. It's better for FT. No need to count shots left in the magazine
and pellets skirt don't get resize by the magazine.

I think there is only one left in stock and there is no ETA for future.

April 10 Sunday FT Match in Burlington at BRRC.

I just got my scuba tank refill this aft. at Aqua System (Dixie & Dundas) 905-277-8881
Good guys there. Refill my tank to the max 3500 (3442) FOR FREE ***
I was in and out in less than 5 minutes ... sweet deal.

Now the gun and tank are good to go.
If I can just come in the last place I'll be so happy .... lol .

I was there last week and he charged me $10+tax to go to 3000psi. That was from empty though, hopefully a top up will be cheaper. He told me he can fill up to 6000psi with his booster pump, good for the SCBA 4500psi guys.
Anyone know a cheaper place in the GTA? $10 isn't breaking the bank, but I thought fills were more in the $6 range.

Yeah mine was only to top up from 1800 . I go there all the time.
It used to be in 6 range, I guess like everything else went up in price ?

Air is free. The supply is plentiful and the volume is irrelevant.

Distribution is limited. Distribution is not free.

The price is what the market will pay.

Looking pretty good, sniper. I plan on trying my HW97 in May at the Mission shoot.

Local paint ball shop on Queensway Ave, tried to charge me $30.00 for less than 1/2 a fill. She was amazed it only took a couple minutes to fill, and mentioned that - then $30.00 please and I blew a gasget.

The are charging the paint ball shooters $10.00 for the little 500cc bottles, so she thought "$30.00 for that huge tank" was fair.

No - I won't be going back.

Thank you.

HW97 is an awesome gun. My buddy Dave (#1 shooter at BRRC rifle) loves his HW97. He never miss with it.

OMG $ 30.00 ... does she want blood for payment .... LOL ...
