I bought a refurb Hatsan Blitz directly from Hatsan and it looked brand new in the original box. Not a single problem with it in the two years I owned it and got it for $350. off. I once bought a refurb Seneca Recluse from Pyramyd Air and it came to me with a crack in the stock at the wrist. It...

I bought a refurb Blitz from the factory and I swear I think it was new-unused. There wasn't a mark on it and it has been perfect for 2 years so far.

We used to call them whistle pigs when we were kids because when we hunted them if you whistled out loud they would stand on their hind legs to see who was whistling and then we would pop them LOL. Also the horse and cattle farmers were happy to let us hunt them on their property because they...

I would say at least 95% of us LOL

I too have drunk the Brocock Koolaid! I love shooting them all. I now have 6 in .177, .22, and .25cal. I think .22cal. is the ideal cal. for a non magnum. I do have to admit though that for a short barrel carbine size pistol/rifle I prefer my Huben GK1 with the folding stock in .22cal. It...

Consider a Huben K1.

I have a Rovair from Pyramyd Air and it's been great for over a year and at least weekly use. It fills to 4500psi and has an auto shutoff. It also does not require extra cooling, it is all self contained. It also require 0 maintenance and uses 12 or 120volts. The only maitenance I do is change...

Whenever I need to increase the diameter a little I usually powdercoat the pellets or slugs. It works pretty well most times. I had to double coat for my Huben GK1, but they work well.

I have 2 and I added a stock to one of them and it makes a great little carbine.

I shoot in my garage at least a couple of times a week.

I have a set of GMI dies from a couple of years ago and I used a small 6ton Harbor freight press on and also a heavy brass hammer. They both worked pretty well. I use lead wire with mine.

Fifteen years ago had a massive heart attack at work. Had a quintuple bypass so every day I wake up is a gift from God. Really glad you are still with us. Treasure every day as a gift. It's amazing how the small things don't seem so important anymore. Enjoy your new little buddy.

I checked all of those things. It won't let the air in. I have the almost exact copy that Wes used to sell and tried exchanging parts and that didn't help either. I have repaired several other guns including 2 Brococks for filler problems and this is a different setup altogether. There is a ball...

I also have an Alfa Proj that had very little use but has a fill issue that I have been unable to figure out. It won't accept air in the filler. I have had it apart several times and as of yet no luck fixing it. I usually bring it out when I have some extra time and and end up frustrated and put...

When I bought my latest house I was doing some work up in the attic and I found an old Daisy air rifle in the eves under the insulation. It look old but like a copy of a 1894 Winchester bb gun. It was pretty rusted from being in an unheated attic. I tried taking it apart to clean it up and...
