    Attn: FX Impact Mk III owners

    Everyone has their favorite tune, and the markings on the FX Impact Mk III makes it very easy to duplicate, for whatever reason. However, if you're like me, I tune it, and I leave it alone! Unfortunately, the Micro adjustment knob on the left is too easily bumped when handling the gun. I've done...

    A few goods words about FX Airguns.

    As Michael is aware, I am the registered owner of the AirGunGuild. That notwithstanding, I have been visiting this sight for several years, even before I became owner of the AGG (almost by default). One item which stood out here on the AGN, is the love and admiration for FX airguns,. I have...

    Gauge Tool

    Some one makes a tool to remove the small gauges PCP guns have (sort of a socket type wrench). I saw one someplace, but can't remember where. Any one know of one, and where to get it? Alan

    W.A.R. Corba First Blood

    Here is a photo of first blood taken with my new Cobra. I got a jack rabbit too, but he ending up on the wrong side of the fence, which is too high for me to climb.

    Another airgun

    I received my new WAR, .25 caliber, Cobra yesterday morning. Mounted a new Hammers 8X32X52 just because I had it. Got all sighted in, and did two 5 shot groups, and here they are. The one slight pull off on the 50 yard target was me, not the airgun. These were shot with 25.4 grain, AirArms, at...

    Fancy pigeon

    This photo requires a bit of explanation. A friend of mine lives about 10 miles west of town. About 3 years ago, his neighbor died, and his widow turned loose all of his fancy pigeons he kept when she moved out of the house. As a result of that, there are all sorts of fancies flying all over...

    Found! Old Marauder wood stock

    I want to stock my Gen 2, bottled Marauder. If anyone has a wood stock for one, please let me know. Condition isn't all that important, as long as it is in one piece. Alan PM or [email protected]

    Barrel rifling technique vs. accuracy.

    Subject matter here, and on other airgun forums, proves there is a lot of interest in how a barrel is rifled. They're all covered here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifling), except for smooth-twist. A lot of folks swear that smooth-twist barrels are the epitome of accuracy. I really doubt...

    Feedback Kudos to Jimmy King

    I've had two dealings with Mr. King, and find him a top-notch gentleman. Couldn't ask for better service from anyone.

    ATN X-Sight II (Firmware 619) Evaluation

    Rather than dredge up an old thread, and clutter things up, my feelings about the X-Sight II are in this review: http://atnowners.com/thread/791/5x20-sight-foibles-personal-view I've owned the X-Sight for almost 2 weeks, and I've had it in the field 11 times, including last night's rat shoot...

    We need to learn to spell

    The term DIABOLO as applied to pellets essentially means wasp-wasted; a shape we're all certainly aware of. However of late, I keep seeing the term spelled diablo, which in Spanish, means devil. Adding a bit of confusion, at least one popular secondary-market maker of pellets, uses the incorrect...

    Silencers

    I'll probably get banned, kicked out, chastised, whatever, for calling a spade, a spade! For some unfathomable fear, we (air gunners in general) just have to use euphemisms for what clearly are silencers as described by the Alphabet org. Mufflers, quieters, LDCs, suppressers, moderators, and other...

    (expired)(SOLD) - Octane Swapout

    I have decided to dump the Umarex, complete with stock scope, and box, albeit it won’t fit in the box with the scope attached. Not to worry. I’ll have the “thing” boxed well enough, no one will have to worry. But…. There is a catch! I DO NOT want monies for the Octane, worth about ±$200...

    A different tact.

    Long range shooting (target and/or game) seemingly impresses everyone, as does super-tight groupings. With the correct armory, both can be achieved within reason. And, given enough time, enough ammo, anyone can hit a beer can at 250 yards with even a .177 caliber springer! But there is one facet...

    Top notch company. I got what I ordered, and it was even better than expected.

    Gamo Red Fire!

    Apparently, I can't post a photo here, so I uploaded the image to my web site. http://www.k0bg.com/images/RedFire.jpg The photo shows what happens when you hit a squirrel dead on the top of the head with a Gamo Red Fire, 7.8 grain pellet! Apparently, squirrels have hard heads, because the...
