I bought a WW 2 Barrrel for a M1 Garand I'm restoring. It was sent USPS according to the tracking it has been sitting at the Next town over for 5 days I went there with the tracking number and waited for over an hour while they looked for it . When the supervisor came back he said they didn't...

Do you think a 25 would be enough to take a coyote at 25 yards ? Any first hand experience would be nice to hear.

 you are right I just checked the packageing that the rings came in it says nothing about origin of manufacture. I looked up their website and there is no info as to origin. But i will say that the FX rings are the best I have used on Air Rifles so far. I just got a set that were a little off of...

I always wash and size and lube my pellets. You don't have to size them but you should wash them you will be suprised at the ammount of particles left in the water. Always wear gloves handling lead pellets and lead bullets if you reload. As others have said wash your hands after you handle lead...

I always use antisieze on the screws so I don't gall the threads. I have 6 air rifles with FX no limit rings and these are the only ones that failed. I inspected the other rings and found that the screws were longer. Also I took some apart and found that slots in bottom part of the bad ring was...

It takes a lot more than 30 inch pounds to pinch the lower part of the base to hold the upper from moving.

Odoyle NOT NICE!!!!

I didn't strip the upper ring screws I striped the big screw that allows the ring to be moved up or down. You need ft pounds not inch pounds to tighten the ring upper body to the lower part of the ring assembly. these are the FX no limit Rings not the standard rings. I have installed thousands...

I started to install the scope on my new Crown MK2 and found that there was almost no clearance between the scope objective bell and the barrel about 10 thou. When I went to install the magazine I found the scope was to low. I had to raise the scope rings 55 thou to allow the mag to clear with a...

The tanks that The Fire Depts use are removed from service after 15 years. But over in Europe they are good for 30 years before they can't fill anymore. This is what I was told by a dive shop that fills tanks. I got some large carbon fiber tanks from a friend in the service that took them from...

I picked Eodman because that was my job in the USMC in Viet Nam and I loved it. Where else can a young kid get paid to blow stuff up. We used to kid around a lot and I always liked the Buggs Bunny WW 2 cartoon of Buggs testing bombs for duds.

I agree i was not a happy camper at this point because we had a lot of people getting ready to set and film at a remote location. When they sent me the 3rd gun with the adjusted magazines and after i noted the serial number I was aware that they must have had quite a number of these guns with...

First some background info. I owned a gun store and also did general and warranty repair and custom work. I also worked with the film industry as a firearms expert and safety range officer. Some years back I was contacted by the producers of the TV show Mythbusters and worked with them both off...

In Calif we can't shoot any game or Varmint's with lead bullets anymore. But when we read the new law we found that they exempted Air Rifles. So now I have a lot Air Rifles and had to buy a new safe. What I also noted is that the farmers are more at ease when we tell him that we will be using...
