also i meant to say.today when i changed a co2 cartidge i think that i changed it too quickly.when i put the new 88 gram air source in it hissed away until it was gone .not real fast,i knew what was happening and i got to use it for a while.i changed it and put oil on the seal and the next one was behaved...sound familiar at all? |

Some guns- and I can't speak for the AirMagnum specifically- are designed so that you screw in the cartridge fully, then back it off a half turn. Maybe this will help- maybe not.
Oil (use a silicone based oil for Co2 guns) is always a good idea- especially if you're using "generic" cartridges- many do not put lube in them- this is as compared to a genuine Crosman AirSource cartridge, which has silicone-based lube in it to treat the gun internals.
Also- in respect to the "valve" ('ventile' is valve or ventilator- in German as well). I have not yet found an AM850 parts breakdown- but when I do I'll get it posted, but normally- the first part where a cartridge plugs into a gun would be referred to as a "plug" assembly which contains a collar for the cartridge, an end seal, a piercing pin to punch a hole in the cartridge, possibly a screen to catch errant dust/dirt from getting further into the gun, and a 'plug' or small chamber assembly where the Co2 can flow before being transferred to the actual valve.
Without an 850 in front of me or a parts diagram- I can't say what the specific design on the 850 is/isn't- but it's unlikely the collar/seal right where the cartridge attaches is the valve itself- there is probably some sort of transfer tube from the plug/chamber area to the valve- it may be something as short as 1/4" or as long as 6" depending on the path from the plug to the valve. Keep in mind the hammer will strike the valve pin directly and the valve is almost always right at the rear of the barrel behind the pellet loading area. Look at you gun's trigger- figure the hammer is probably a bit above it (it may be positioned further forward or backward as well- but this isn't that critical for this) and the valve will be further forward than the hammer. Check how close this approximate area is to where the cartridge plugs in. The Co2 flow, if it has to be "piped" around the gun- is pretty much always piped before the valve- not after, to get to the projectile load point. |

Who said you were? I was only pointing out that the translation was pretty much the same. |

Okay.
The actual dutch word is "ventiel". Well, it's almost the same as ventile. |

i wish i could try your .22 850.i ordered a .22 but got another .177 sent to me.good spare parts gun and it keeps company amused but i still want that can bruising power that only a .22 can deliver. are the iron sights sufficient or does it have the range to necessitate a scope |

I don't think it differs much in power if you choose the .22 or .177. The previous owner only owned .22 guns that's why he bought it.
It's not like if you have the .22 it's more powerfull.
It depends on the version. I ended up with an export version, that uses every bit of power it can get.
The difference is that .22 is usually more heavy. .177 can in some cases shoot harder and may have a longer range.
I've got it with a Bushnell:

It's a good scope. One should be able to hit something at 40 meters with this. |

hi broommaster.our version in canada rates the .22 at 655fps and the .177 at 765. my break barrel .22 really blows up a popcan full of water....or pop.the latter is fun but more expensive.warm them up and give em a little shake until you see the bottom starting to bulge and you are good to go. try hanging them
i use a bushnell 4x12x40 on my personal rifle and a walther 6x42 that came with it on my spare.i regularly shoot at 50meters and get good satisfaction from this gun.shot the nozzle off of a can of cooking spray at 30 meters the other day........on purpose
anyways thanks and good shooting! i still want the .22 though |

Doesn't matter- the actual output of the gun is still the same. The .177 and .22 pellets have different weights- the lighter one, the .177 will travel faster with the same amount of muzzle energy as a heavier .22 would. Don't think of "speed" or "velocity" as energy. As a comparison of sorts- imagine yourself being hit by someone walking into you at 2mph- annoying, but not too damaging. Now imagine a full-size tractor-trailer rig bumping into you at 2mph- you're probably going to be severely injured. "Speed" was the same in both cases- but the truck due to its mass is carrying alot more "power". |

Hey AirGunEric
Seems you have a good understanding of physics as well then!!
A train traveling at 2mph would have been a good example of "Power" as well.

What about a cartboard box
The airmagnum is a very satisfieing rifle. That is the case. Until now I've never seen anyone speaking bad about it. |

thanks eric.i have read the statistics.that extra mm of cross section seems to make a bigger splash though. |
