Do It Yourself

The TacVenger DIY Kits Released

As you know we released the TacVenger Airgun Package/Builds on Tuesday 8/2/2022 and the response has been overwhelming. I would like to thank you all for the support.

Well, today we released the Do It Yourself kits to achieve essentially what we put into our Copper, Silver, Gold, and Platinum TacVenger packages. Obviously, the DIY Kit does not contain the machining and bench work we provide but you get the point.

I promised you all that I would offer "Do It Yourself" (DIY) kits that essentially give you everything we include in the Copper, Silver, Gold, and Platinum packages. Obviously not the machining and bench work we provide.

I now have those available for you guys. The installation is pretty straightforward forward but if there is enough requests, I'll make a tutorial.

B EZ!

Its tomorrow

TacVenger Tuesday!

Hajimoto Productions will begin taking orders for the TacVenger starting Tuesday @ 0500 Eastern. We will be offering .22 and .25 caliber variants as we wait for our .177 inventory to arrive.

We are currently not offering the Ultimate Package because we have sold out of compressors and the Ultimate packages have compressors included in them.

Never forget people, the reason we offer Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Ultimate packages is because you can by one what you need. You can always buy an entry build and add what you want to the package, essentially making your own custom build per se.

If any of you have any questions, please let us know

The TacVenger Cometh

by Hajimoto

TacVenger airgun packages are available the first week of August.

We finally have all our parts in place to offer you all the Hajimoto TacVenger. You can choose from varying degrees of build and accessories which supports any budget looking to have a Tactical Avenger Build.

We will be offering airgun packages first which include a brand new Air Venturi Avenger and then a bit later we will offer DIY kits that match what is included in the Airgun Packages. Obviously, the DIY kits will not have barrel work or power tuning included because the DIY kits are for folks who already have an Avenger.

So if you've been waiting, it's almost over. If you had no idea, it's Christmas in July!!!

Thank you for your support,

In case you have not heard this rap yet, take a listen it hilarious

The G30 is here folks!

We are now taking orders for the Umarex Dirty 30.

We make sure the action is performing correctly as well as shooting the rifle three times and reporting the shot string details and target.

The barrels are inspected and thoroughly cleaned prior to shooting so when you receive your dirty 30 is ready to deliver some hurty! (sorry)

JTS Airacuda’s are coming

by Hajimoto

The JTS Airacuda line of PCP's is coming to Hajimoto Productions in the spring of 2022.

The two rifles that JTS is starting off in the Airacuda series are the Standard and the Max. The standard is a non-regulated conventional stock design PCP with transfer port power and hammer preload power adjustments. The standard also comes with side lever cocking and two magazines.

The Max is a regulated version with a slick thumbhole stock, side lever cocking, the barrel end is ready for your favorite moderator and has hammer preload power adjustment.

As some of you may know already, I have already designed some enhancements and performance packages for the series. Hajimoto Productions will be offering these models with enhanced performance and calling them the Hemi 'Cuda Standard and Hemi 'Cuda Max. I will be offering multiple packages that range from minimal enhancement to full-blown packages that include optic and compressor just like I do for the Umarex Gauntlet line of PCP's.

If you want to follow along with the progression of these amazing air guns, please consider joining our Facebook Group called Airacuda Owners Group. There are already a lot of photos, shot results, and discoveries relating to these incredible feature-rich PCP's.

Coming soon!!! Be sure to keep an eye out!

Here is a sneak peek of the Airacuda series from our friends at DonnyFL. Izzy goes through the standard and the Max.

Corrosive habits under pressure

by Hajimoto

Today we are going to talk about preventative maintenance of your HPA system.

 There are some expressions that we hear all the time and most are cliches at this point. One that fits this conversation is the “Out of sight out of mind” cliché. When it comes to operational maintenance there are varying degrees of maintenance, and each is dependent on how critical that maintenance is to keep the mechanism functioning and operating as the designer intended.

There are some folks that use a very basic visual flyover and if there are no fluids dripping or parts that have fallen off the equipment on the ground, it’s good to go. This cursory approach is ok for some simple mechanical devices like external pully or gear systems. High-Pressure Air (HPA) systems are not that type of low maintenance system.

Obvious maintenance required

Tanks, hoses, compressors, filters, and other parts that make up the HPA system, require regular maintenance and visual inspection.

Today there are so many affordable personal compressors available all of which have varying degrees of quality materials used in their construction, and because there is no way of knowing what materials are used, regular visual inspection is critical.

Most if not all these little compressors follow a similar design characteristic and that is a smaller and smaller footprint. This small portable design means they all suffer from the same issue and that is inadequate water/oil separation systems.

Typical small filter

Proper water and oil separation need surface area and volume to cool, condense and separate. If there is not a dedicated quality filter/separator employed in an HPA fill source, major damage will occur to tanks as well as your precious air rifle and, in some cases, you!

Corrosion in an aluminum tank

Most folks see the small canister-type filter at the end of the fill whip and think that is enough. While something is better than nothing, that small device is only going to stop some moisture, oil, and large particulate but it will not be able to properly remove large amounts of water and oils from the air. There simply is not enough volume or surface area to properly condense the hot wet air and allow it to collect and separate in a properly designed chamber.

Not very effective but better than nothing

What happens is the warm air loaded with water vapor reaches the pressure vessel either your fill tank or your rifle’s air storage vessel and cools down. When it cools down, condensation takes place and all the internal surfaces of your tank or worse, your PCP becomes wet and starts to corrode.

Here are actual photos of what the inside of a customer regulator looked like after being exposed to water and corrosion. Keep in mind that that crap was being pushed into his air rifle which ultimately cause it to fail.

Over the years the paintball world has shown many cases of HPA tanks sitting for a long time that had corrosive water in the tank resulting in aluminum etching creating aluminum oxide powder puffing out the barrel with every shot. That white powder cloud is visual proof that the pressure vessel is eroding.

Therefore regular inspections of all of the internal passages of your HPA system need to be executed. Some manufacturers use chrome-plated carbon steel fittings which from the outside look fine but are rusting and corroding on the inside. When you fill your rifle with that air, you are pushing all that debris into your air tank or air rifle which as you can imagine jacks stuff up.

Rust and corrosion caused by zero maintenance

So, if you spare the cash on an HPA compressor but invest in a good quality water/oil separator combined with a regular inspection regimen, you will be fine. If you purchase a very good quality compressor with stainless steel fittings and quality air cooling/separation components, you will enjoy the sport more. Remember the golden rule as it relates to time and money, whatever you save on one, requires a greater investment by the other.

Hajimoto is Flex’n again

by Hajimoto

Ninja Paintball has finally delivered my long-awaited flex reg order from 6/2021!

The Flex Reg has went through some design changes but still operates exactly the same as before. You can expect 800 to 900 PSI of adjustable range. When ordering your Flex always think of what the maximum output will be and then subtract 800 from that. So if you think 2400PSI is your max then you would want the 1600-2400PSI. Again it is not uncommon to actually achieve a 900PSI and sometimes 1000PSI adjustment range.

The new design now has two burst discs, one to protect the high pressure tank side and another to protect the air rifle.

Notice the two burst disc's now

Please note, we build them to the maximum output so you will never exceed the maximum. So in the case of the 1600-2400PSI Flex I just described you could end up with 1500-2400PSI or even 1400-2400PSI.

I have 22.5ci Carbon fiber tanks in stock which fit the Gauntlet 1 tank shroud with a little sanding and the 22.5ci carbon fiber tank fits the Gauntlet 2 tank shroud with any sanding at all. You will just need to drill one hole in the bottom of the forearm tank cover so you can attach your fill hose.

The gauges will be on the left and the right in full view so there is no more looking on a slant below the barrel shroud to see your fill pressure.

The regulator is a 5/8"-18UNF thread so it can be used as a direct replacement to any original regulator configurations. It takes special tools and methods to separate a regulator from its tank. Most are red thread locker glued on.

We do offer regulator mounting services should you opt to have us do it for you but typically you will find that for only a little more money than the Flex and the mounting service you can purchase a tank and regulator built system.

Be sure to swing by and take a look at the different options available from aluminum tanks, carbon fiber to just stand-alone Flex regs that are built to your custom output request.

Fat Boy is here

by Hajimoto

The DonnyFL Fat Boy 2.0 has arrived!

Be sure to check out the awesome modular suppressor that was just released by DonnyFL. The Fat Boy 2.0 is built like a soup can, The large volume area (2 x 4.25 inches), gobbles up noise, and fits all caliber between .177 to .30!

Because the unit ships with three different-sized air strippers, you have the versatility to install this on whatever PCP you're currently using. The air stripper is not an internal part and quickly and easily is swapped out from the front of the Fay Boy using a coin to loosen and unscrew the air stripper.

Be sure to snag one before they are all gone!
