I’ve had to ask the forum quite a few questions to get to this stage and I thank all those that took the time to give me advice. I don’t know anyone with an air rifle so I’m very indebted to this group of guys and forum. My setup is the HW30S with a HAWKE 2-7x32 Vantage AO. I have cheap Target Match single screw mounts med height, not even a recoil pin (that‘s all I could find and it will do for now until my store gets a nice one piece in). Pellets today were H&N Field Target Trophy 4.5mm 8.64 grn. My gun, out of the box, zeroed at 20 yards. It took about 20 shots to zero (forgot to adjust the parallax in my first 3 shots). This is my last 2 - 5 shot groups. Both can be covered with a dime and my last on the right, 3 pellets through the same hole. I’m an old geezer that had lense replacement surgery for cataracts 3 months ago. Powder burner for 50 years. This is going to be much fun! Better late than never! Beyond my expectation results. What distances do other .177 HW30/R7 normally shoot for targets?

AEA or Bin Tac:

I don't have enough room to dedicate space to pellet storage and am always moving tins out of the way or working around them, so I made this little two-sided storage/organizer. I can see what I've got, easily select a tin or push the whole lot aside. Glued and screwed, it's plenty strong even if not "furniture grade" fit and finish, lol. The bare wood slides on my carpeted work area. If it were a hard work surface I'd use carpet tape and secure a piece of carpet to the underside or put little casters on it.

Can someone make me a meme of a homeless guy holding a sign, that says "will do tile work for Huben GK1"

Thank you in advance

Just the way I like it!

Hi lads, seeing how NOBODY has downloaded my gk1 perfected mod:


Despite being awesome and ultra-affordable, I came to the conclusion that.. maybe not manny people have both a GK1 V1 and a 3d printer to begin with... so... maybe I need to focus on doing something for a more worldwide spread airgun.

The initial guns that come to mind are the 2240 and the diana chaser, how many of you have one of those? Do you know about a even more popular air pistol?
I know the 2240 is more owned, but I also think that maybe the chaser is prefered for younger shooters that also are more into 3d printing.


The design of my "cheapo" (3d printed, 23cm long, single or double action, 12 shoot pcp pistol) is completed for almost 2 months, but I think that will occur the same that happened with de GK1 perfected mod, I have to count on people willing to purchase an e-bay pcp conversor for the 2240, + a cheap gamo barrel that aparently is not available on the states... So... Nobody is gonna download it.


With a bit of work, I could adapt the ideas and design to make the same but using the 2240 or the chaser has the base, you will have a 3d mod that turns the gun into a double (with really long and hard trigger) action or single action (short and nice pre-loaded pull) 12 shot revolver. Thar may sell much better, no need for extra equipment, e-bay chinesse parts or crappy barrels not available in most countries.

Would you pay 10 bucks to turn your 2240 or chaser into such revolver?

What features do you like it to have?

Are you aware of an equally popular airgun that everyone has?

We are happy to say that we can finally offer you the option of extreme long shooting with the right tool.

.22 caliber slug will weigh 35 grains and a .25 caliber slug will weigh 44 grains.
The box will contain 200 pieces at a very reasonable price.

These should be in production in a month.

Got a visit from my friend Mike yesterday afternoon on a blustery New England day. He was carrying a very rare and special airgun....an FWB 120.

Now I'm sure some of you have never heard of an F120. Not surprising as they were made 50 plus years ago!! They are a product of a man named Robert Law from the former Air Rifle Headquarters in West Virginia.
He used a tuned FWB 124 action as the base gun. He then produced a very interestingly shaped Walnut rifle stock for it. The stock is "ergonomically" designed.....function over form. This gives it a distinctive look.
This particular rifle was a labor of love by Mike. The action is an FWB 127 and was tuned by Scott Blair from Airguntunes.com. He did a wonderful job with the tune. The rifle shoots with a thunk and no vibration. Truly an amazing result!
The stock was finished by Paul Watts. He did a tremendous job on the checkering and finish. What excellent craftsmanship!!
Take a look for yourself. Unfortunately, the 3D quality of this Walnut isn't captured by my camera. To see it in person is really the only way to fully appreciate this functional work of art.

Next to it is one of my old Factory Walnut stocked FWB 124Ds. A plain Jane next to the 120.

Here's a quick picture for your perusal.
Enjoy!

After JEFFPPC gave me the report on his Diana 75, I decided to begin my search for one. I lucked out and CT Airguns had just picked one up! It needs seals, but for a 40+ year old rifle it is in great shape.

Thank you JEFFPPC for the tip on the D75, and CT Airguns for having one available.

I’m looking forward to getting this old classic back on the range.

Not a big fan of AEAs semi-auto lineup and I have no experience with their bolt-actions, but this pump-action Megalodon looks like a beast. 400ft-lb. .50 cal. 8 round mags. It's a proper shotgun, I mean.. damn. No price or release date yet as far as I'm aware. In fact, this seems to be the only video that exists of it so far.

The english presentation starts at 15:30:

I only made the video in slow motion.........some big moth or something flew into the side of my head just as I was pulling the trigger.....lol
He'll be back.

This is the Notos in pistol form.
I printed the grips and the moderator insert.

At 2 feet long, it is majestic and just a little nose heavy

. Misleading title but I’m happy to share this with everyone. Picture is my 87 year old father holding a groundhog I trapped today for one of the neighbors. Very blessed to have him still active!

Just getting into PCP guns and starting the search and first hurdle is figuring out caliber. .22 or .25.
Looking at cost and pellet selection and accuracy potential and anything I might have overlooked.
Right now I don't see any hunting just target shooting and maybe down the road some competition.
Right now I see target shooting consisting of 25 to 100 yards and maybe some longer ranges to just have some fun plinking long range targets.
I know there are probably lots of discussions about this here already but things change pretty fast so I thought I would bring it up again.
Thanks in advance and doing lots of research on what gun I want/need but until I figure out the caliber I can't really start shopping for a rifle.

I have been re-watching the x files, in three of episodes I watched I noticed they used air guns. This afternoon while watching iron giant with grandson, Hogarth also used an airgun, it made me wonder how many other films/ tv shows featured airguns.

Here are a few I remember…

Dr No
Octopussy
Lock stock and two smoking barrels
Train spotting
Mr Bean

just how accurate are the air gauges on PCP guns ? within 10 percent ? 3 percent ? 15 percent ? are there gauges that are within one percent that will fit ?

I received my new Arken Zulus a few days ago. As others had previously mentioned (so not really a surprise), it came without the rechargeable battery. I went to Batteries Plus this morning and purchased the required 18650 series lithium rechargeable battery. The brand name on the package is "Ultralast." The battery is too long and won't let the retaining cap threads engage. I have tried everything I know to try. It is simply too long. For reference, it measures 2.707" or 68.83 mm. So now I am out $40 additional dollars and still not able to power up my optic.

For those of you that have had success, please advise as to the battery brand you are using and if possible, its length, to help me diagnose this issue.

Additionally, for those contemplating ordering one of these, it does not come with the micro sd card either.

How much did your setup cost?
How often do you use it?
How often do you perform maintenance?
How reliable is it?

This is the thing about JSB that drives me crazy. I have a new tin of 25.39 Redesigned. In the tin are two different pellets. A medium based pellet, I think are now being called the shallow and a deep base pellet, I think are the ones they are now calling deep. But WHY do the put them both in 1 tin.

What is indexing? Important? If so, how do I do it with a FX liner? Does this apply to other air rifles/firearms?

Has someone impressions from this brand - Rossi ?
I met them at IWA expo at Nurnberg and at first look they are good.

All i know - they are Brasilian made, looks good, not cheap, up to .25 caliber ... I can find info in youtube only in portugesse

Been a long journey with my M3 , but as of late in this configuration its become quite enjoyable.

I have a small range set up for the Airgun in the side paddock , very handy as i can just wander out the back and sling a few shots when weather conditions are ideal.. I have plates set out from 100 yds to 500 yds.

This morning a good friend of mine who shoots ELR regularly with me ( Powder Guns) took the M3 out to 500 yds. Weather conditions were excellent...overcast almost still with very little breeze.

He fired a total of 40 shots at the 10" plate ( 2 moa 500yds) ... there were 22 hits......so just over 50% strike rate on a 2moa plate at 500yds...... Great result for the M3.
....Also..... a fair majority of misses were very very close to impacting the plate !!

Slugs are NSA 27.5gr 218" @ 1060fps.. .
Just on 134 Moa of elevation needed at that distance.

I can just get away at that distance without using the NF Prism on the front . The Era-Tac mount has 70 moa, Air Marksmon rail has 30moa and the old trusty NF has 100 moa

it was my son's idea not mine to convert this feeder to our new target. I like it, it will be for both powder burners and air rifles, but mainly my new air rifle target. Thanks for looking.

A little while ago I picked up a quite clean first generation .22 Wildcat for a song. As it turns out, I really like the thing and find it more comfortable to shoot than my Impact M3. Because I don’t have a lot of money in it and because I’m a tinkerer at heart, I’ve decided to take a chance turn it into something unique. Part of my plans include converting it into sort of a bottle version, have I’ve acquired the parts to do so and the lathe work has already begun. I’m shortening and internally threading the original air cylinder and have made a double male adapter to mount the BT bottle adapter to it. The bottle adapter has an Amp reg in it and the existing air cylinder of course has the internal stock FX regulator and spacer in the rear of the tube. The existing regulator has always been consistent and the recharge rate is nearly instantaneous. Given that some folks delete a regulators on some guns, I’m wondering if I should bother with utilizing both. I’m debating removing the back regulator and utilizing the front regulator only for the ease of adjustability. Is this even a good idea? My Impact doesn’t seem to recharge nearly as quickly (though plenty fast for a follow-up shot but I’m not sure if that’s a characteristic of the multi regulator setup or of the Amp regulator altogether. Any input on this from the FX knowledgeable?

I always wanted a Model 1 but never bought one when they were still avialable,I missed out. I was pleased that Crosman released a similar airgun, the 75th anniversary 2200W with a Walnut stock.
The one I bought twenty years ago had an issue with the forend/pump handle. I bought a new forend but it hadn't been pre dilled so I could fit it to the pump lever.
I asked around (gunsmith,stockmaker,carpenter and enginneer) but no one would drill it for me so I returned for a replacement which I never had.
Tried obtaining another one but had no luck.

Some twenty years later I got fed of it being in pieces so I bought a piece of American Walnut and made one myself.
I did try to get someone to make it for me but no was interested.

I have the box,scope(unused) etc that came with it and it had only fired about a 100 times. The valve still had air in it.
I like a lot!

I had been in contact with Ron about Crosman parts on the GTA if any one knows him?
