new AT44 QE. some questions.
what a gun! it was fun sighting it in. well, it got fun when i realized i need to move the knob alot since i was sighting in at 30 yards and this is a 1/4@100 scope.
some questions if i may: 1. do i need to clean this barrel? if so, how? the instructions are gosh-darn vague. 2. there are some parts i cannot ID. A. a tiny black o-ring that came in the package of yellow o-rings for the fill probe. ZERO clue where it goes. B. a threaded set screw that apparently fits in the (i think that is what it is) brass threaded fitting that caps the air reservoir. the the threaded brass thing; is it for decompression or protection?... and what is the threaded plug that fits in the end for? C. for hunting; primarily Turkey hunting. i sighted it in at 30 yards. i figured with decoys i can get them much closer. i do for archery hunts. what is your strategy for a hunting gun? what are you zeroed at? i am hand pumping my gun with the Hill pump. do i need any teflon tape at the probe threads. it isnt leaking now, but i am unsure. hand pumping is not bad. maybe in the dead of summer it will not be fun, but now it is a nice ab workout. i think that is it for now. i cannot believe how bad the instructions are! for a season PCP veteran, it's a chip shot.for me!! every move makes me think i am gonna blow the thing up and maim myself. :) i am looking forward from learning from you guys. i really bought this thing to put a wild turkey down!! i've taken many with my bow, just want to try some new toys on an old game animal. |

much appreciated.
that is all very good info.

THe best video Ive seen on how to clean the guns is by Rick Eustler...he does a great job explaining that you got to dissassemble the gun just to clean the barrel. Made my decision in what gun to choose.
