    FX FX Cyclone pressure gauge needed

    I didn't think it would be that hard to replace. The part number is 11505. It is 1 inch diameter. PYRAMID AIR doesn't have any. But I will buy any compatible gauge. Any help finding one would be appreciated. John

    [WTS] Quackenbush Bandits .495 two of them

    PRICE REDUCED! It is true. Two almost identical .495 Bandits. Ser# 172, and Ser# 599. The newer gun is a bit stronger, the older gun gets one more shot. #172 is my first big bore. It must have 3000 rounds through it. Pretty good condition, fills with a probe. Comes with a Simmons 3.8-12 X 44...

    [WTS] Quackenbush Bandits .495 two of them

    You heard right. Two of them. Serial #172 and #599. These are both very comparable in performance. The newer gun shoots a little harder. Please see the shot string photo. #172 was my first big bore. It really does have about 3000 rounds through it. It fills with a probe. It is in pretty good...

    Blue book value for big bores

    I hate to do it, but I need to thin the herd. And it's a big herd of big bores. I'm really not sure what they are worth. Anyone have an idea of a reliable blue book for these bad boys? To make things worse, I just inherited a few more I need to deal with. I have six I'd like to part with. I'm...

    $56.00 Import Hand Pump From Amazon. Very Favorable First Impressions.

    I heard some very good things on YouTube about this pump. I had to try it out. I'M IMPRESSED!!! First , I'll mention no brand names in this post. My other hand pump works just fine, but it is not going beyond 3500 PSI with me pumping it. This new import easily goes to 4200 with the same effort...

    How to accurize cast round balls for big bores.

    I cast a lot of bullets to feed my .58 pistol. One of my favorite rounds is the round ball. the bummer is that darned sprue is hard to line up so it points straight backwards. Well, not anymore. I always wanted to put a point on the tip of the probe, so I turned a 60 degree point on the end. I...

    NEW .58 CALIBER ALL STAINLESS STEEL PISTOL THAT CAN BE HOLSTERED.

    I've had numerous request for building these for sale. 10 years ago I probably would have done that, but now I'm retired and intend to go hunting and fishing every day instead of making chips. But as i said, I have no secrets and would share the prints that I used to build this beast. It isn't...

    Big Bore Dilemma what would you get?

    So many things to consider. Cost, shot count, weight, loudness. I own a 9MM Corsair, .495 Quackenbush, .45 Gargoyl, and a .58 Pistol. I love them all. The bigger and more powerful they get, the bigger my smile. Personally, I feel a big bore starts at .45 caliber. That is when shooting things...
