Thanks for the video. I took this shroud off to clean the barrel then put it back, but I didn't know how to align the barrel band correctly. Is it necessary to put the barrel band back? Does it really affect the POI? Thanks in advance.

Nope I shot mine down to 2000 psi and went to fill it back up and it just dumps the air so looks like I have to try my hand at this tonight and see if it straightens it out 😳 I did order a Macavity arms MA2 in .30 long barrel it’ll be here Wednesday just in case I don’t get the JTS back in order…. I really like the gun too until that… is 3 months of use really enough to need to repair that check valve already?….. I was hoping not to have to take it apart for at least 6 months to a year 😢

I'm experiencing persistent leaks on the regulated side of the part #49 regulator housing where the high-pressure gauge sits. At that joint between the plenum and the high-pressure gauge. I noticed a pinhole in the threads of the regulator housing. It is normal? What function does it perform? I have a photo blowup of the regulator housing,

Mine was leaking this morning thank goodness I just needed to tighten the outside nut on the nipple… I have a dumb question… how could it have came loose? And also what is the average lifespan for a pcp before it needs to be rebuilt and what would be considered way too soon like every 6 months?…. A year? Or are these things that could commonly just fail any given day?

Hi, thanks for the info! I have JTS Aircuda Max. Was leaving for 2 weeks and released all the air before I left. Now I cannot charge it with air. When I pump it with a compressor, I feel the air leaking through the barrel. Any idea what may have happened? The release screw I used to empty it is tight. Very confused. Thanks in advance

Hello my friend can you tell me how to de gas my max please. Also what is best process for storage say couple months without shooting. Oil ?

I have the standard in .25 and I don’t think I’ve seen a better built gun for the money I can’t personally say anything about long term reliability yet because I’ve only had it for a couple months but I’ve definitely put a few thousand rounds through it and so far I haven’t had anything malfunction…. Everyone seems so worried about being able to use a moderator but why the gun is so quiet you can’t make the projectile strike sound quieter and that’s about the only noise I hear when I shoot it. It’s dead accurate not pellet picky has enough power to 😵 foxes and raccoons for sure I’d say even bigger things depending on the ammunition and distance the main thing I don’t like is the shot count but I’ll get over it for a gun this nice it’s not even fair to the squirrels it’s so accurate I get bored of it but that’s a good thing… there’s just not much excitement in shooting at something I’m 97 percent sure I’m gonna hit😂 I’ve shot things from well over 100 yards and I’ve tried and own just about every kind of pellet and most of the popular slugs that are available and the only thing I’ve found is the light ammunition doesn’t perform its best at full power but you have a power wheel…. Use everything you have to your advantage 🤷‍♂️ I cut the power down to 4 and I can get the light ammo to group at least good enough to hunt successfully with all the ammo I have… I had previously said in other comments that the FX hybrid slugs were terrible in mine but I figured if I spent almost $20/100 slugs I’m gonna go out there and at least shoot them so I loaded a magazine with 10 of them and just started shooting at cans from random distances then loaded another magazine and shot a group from 33 yards with a fresh target and I had heard of seasoning the barrel but never seen anything drastic like that it went from 50/50 on paper to a dime can cover all 10 and 6/10 are damn near in same hole so I went and tried the light ammo on 4 power setting and everything that did poorly tightened up nicely but anything 24 grains up to around 32 was good for me I do want some of those maple 🍁 custom magazines 😍

I was looking at a Fx drs because it’s a good looking rifle, but this is nice too. And, importantly you like it. I have pushed my prod to its limit, it’s a good pester, this would be its replacement and maybe even the gen1 mrod in .25 I use for 80 yd targets and raccoon sized pests at closer range. Skunk at 80 ok, it is a very accurate rifle with a very nice trigger. Love the semiauto, the bolt lock, and the manual feature, and the simplicity. Can be tuned up or down in power and the locking hammerspring adjuster. Tempting for sure!

To all the subscribers, I thank you for the kind words. I apologize for not making any videos for a while. We had something come up in the family and the area I used to make videos was no longer available. More videos about airguns will be coming soon. Not only new airguns, but videos about vintage airguns as well. Again, I want to thank everyone for their patience. Ian.

Does anyone have a parts diagram/breakdown for the .30 calibre Airacuda Max? The manuals for the .22 and .25 include the diagrams. The .30 does not. The critical o=rings in the breech area and barrel base are different between calibres and even with a micrometre getting the size right will be 80% educated guess and 20% measured value.

Exactly what I needed! Keep doing the lord's work

I got my Jts airacuda max 22 cal about 8 months ago and it still is going strong the longest shot so far that I’ve takin is a 2 inch target at 130 yards and the longest kill shot on a dove was 105 yards and I’m planning on seeing if I can make a 200 yard shot

Thank you so much for this video. Im contemplating purchasing this rifle, this was so informative. The best tutorial on it thus far. This will be my first PCP, and you made it easy to understand. Way more helpful than just seeing someone putting holes in paper.

How do you remove that white nylon washer at the foster fitting?

Great video. I have been trying to decide between the two rifles. I just ordered the max. Hope i made the right choice. Just unsure of that thumb hole stock.

I have air passing thru both sides of barrel when I fill any idea why?

I made a block for the last chamber of the magazine so the bolt can't go forward when the last pellet is shot. This reduces the capacity of the magazine from 10 pellets to 9. But it means I won't be shooting blanks.

Thanks for the info, my buddy received his .25 standard this Wed. and it fires on de-cocking. bummer, my .22 max should be here tomorrow . We'll see what it does. 73

Thanks for the limited info. Wish you had finished the video with results etc. With that said I did learn what it takes, so thanks.

Thank you for making this video I have had two of these guns the first one I had to return because of a barrel issue, the reg on it in 22 caliber was set from the factory at 1800 PSI. The replacement I received was set at almost 2200 PSI. As far as quality control goes these guns are all over the place... thanks to your video I made the tool and went in there and set the reg at 2000 PSI and backed off the hammer spring about a quarter turn... pretty much shooting hole in hole 860ish fps with 18.1 JSB Diablo's for 30+ shots now.😮

Cubic in of each air tube?

After putting back everything together I'm not getting any pressure to the gage close to the trigger. After cocking the gun and pressing the trigger nothing happens. What did I do wrong?

after resealing the gun I don't get any pressure to regulator what did I do wrong?

After putting everything together I don't get any pressure to the regulator does anybody know why ?

Hi ! Do you know where to buy the valve stem ? The people from JTS never answer phone and emails 😠 !

A friend of mine has a Airacuda max in 22 cal and it's been fully resealed twice ! Every seal in the gun has been replaced but it still leaks air !! Any suggestions of what to look for or try next ????

Good info. Are both triggers 1 or 2 stage? Adjustable, and to what point?

Ian, do you happen to know what size o-ring is needed for the rear pellet probe o-ring of the .22 caliber Avenge-X? I know the size for the front pellet probe o-rings, but I can’t find the size of the rear one. Thanks!!

This is very helpful! I'm looking to do the same with a new Avenge-X. So, I am correct that the procedure you used enabled you to determine that the hammer spring was initially set at 8-1/4 turns in? Then you backed it all the way out and started with 1/2 turn in, going up incrementally from there until you reached your goal? What confused me, though, is that you appeared to back it all the way out twice. Can you clarify the steps? Love your videos! Thank you very much...

Great idea with the teflon tape. I have one of terminator’s barrel harmonic reducer rings up front that firms it up. Also thought about loosening and moving the stock spacer up.

Noticed taking off my synthetic stock (at 3 turns in) the HS or housing was flush with the action. That would be 0 turns or all the way CCW with most guns. The avenge x from what I understand has a softer spring than the avenger. Probably why the AV x allows 8 turns over the AV’s 5. Softer spring but more adjustment.

I think you should just remove the castle nut and unscrew your butt stock. Much easier than what you showed....just a thought.

You do barrel removel video yet

I just ordered one of these with all the other goodies 2 days ago and I have seen tunes on the wooden stock but yours is the first on the tactical. Thank you so much for doing this as I had no idea the stock had to be removed for this adjustment. Thanks to you now I know. Liked and subscribed!!

Do you still recommend this gun, a year later? I’m seriously considering one in .22 cal, but I’m wondering if the known issues have been resolved. Thanks!!

mention what direction pls

Looks like you can remove the castle nut and remove the tube for easier access. Very nice rifle.🤠

Can sidelever move to left?? Thanks 🙏

Can sideliver move to left ?? Thanks 🙏

Put a folding stock mount and you just fold the stock and adjust.

Just got mine and leaking already

Do you use the jts pellets that they make for your gun ,,,,I just purchased the gun and it's not broken in yet ,,,but was wondering what was your pellet of choice ,,,factory settings

Detach from the buffer tube

Does your reg take forever to recharge after a shot?

Love the vid. I'm looking for the rifle exploded diagram. I was on jts website

great video Ian, you saved me a call to PA. my grub screw got loose, and shroud moved forward till I got that grub screw centered and locked down the threaded end with the pin. thank you. I met you at PA cup. Tim S

Bravo, would your opinion be that this is the best rifle for the money,so far? Or is the Airicudu Max competitive? How about ease of working on? And simplicity?

Buen dia hay forma que se pueda quitar solo la culata del avenger x táctical. Si es asi me puede explicar gracias

So I've been using my Airacuda Max .22 for about a month, and the foster fitting began to intermittently leak. I emailed JTS customer support about if this is a repairable problem, and haven't heard a peep back from them. The last time I tried to charge the rifle, when I depressurized the charging hose, it dumped both rifle reservoirs and ejected the regulator body from the center threaded plug. Not very impressed with the one-way valve design, just a friction-fit screw holding an o-ring. Also when I disassembled the rifle, there was a 3d printed part fit between the stock and the receiver/action. With only one bolt holding the rifle to the stock, and that pressing on a PLA part, I'm not super impressed with the build quality here.

excllent.. 1/8 of a turn = PSI ???
