    I have a new Royale 400 (.22) coming. I want to acquire a single shot tay; preferably a flip open design. Does anyone sell these? Are the other designs any good?

    Oh Crap...No more MP-5

    I have used MP-5 the entire time that I have had airguns. More than 50 years I believe. No more. It's gone. 1st it was sold by Beeman as Compound No. 5 Metalophilic Oil then by Air Venturi. Checked with Ted at Air Venturi. No longer available anymore. Crap! I really liked that stuff too...

    Mechanical or Electronic?

    I'm an old fart and love mechanical things of all sorts. Just love the feel of a well made anything. I'm about to try out a Red Wolf. I'll no doubt add to this post once I've received my new Red Wolf and had a chance to shoot it. However, those of you that have an opinion about this please chime...

    HW/Weihrauch Great expectations - my Venom arrives soon

    It's with great expectation that my latest collectible airgun arrives ...maybe today. @warlord graciously allowed me to be the next caretaker of his Venom HW77 Verminter made in 1986. (Not the one that was recently sold on Gunbroker) The Venom (and Airmasters) airguns were the product of...

    Just Arrived - Beeman R1 Laser MK1

    Just acquired a pristine Beeman R1 Laser MK1 20 cal. Included is a Beeman Blue Ribbon 49R scope and mounts. Photos coming. You just never know exactly what condition an airgun will be in when you purchase one on Ebay. Photos don't always tell the complete story and asking someone how they...

    Any Airgunners In The Cape Fear Area?

    Just wondered if there are any airgun enthusiasts near me. I live in the Cape Fear area (Leland). I am just 8minutes from Wilmington, NC where FX has a warehouse and service facility headquarters.

    OK, who got the Logic Air Genesis that was auctioned on ebagger?

    A third Genesis was sold on evil bay. Anybody claiming to have gotten this? It was, in my humble opinion a great buy for a very unusual and historically significant airgun.

    Altaros Update

    Purchased an Altaros. I tried using it to fill a SCBA tank - didn't work out. I messed with it an broke it. Altaros sent me new parts and I easily fixed it. Very simple construction and solid engineering went in to it. Altaros people/support were great to work with. I now use it to top off...

    Theoben SLR98

    Got my most treasured airgun out for inspection and a fresh coat of museum wax. You will quickly notice that there is no scope. Never has been. I don't shoot it but it has been cleaned and lubed by an expert - the man who was caretake of this exquisite piece before me; @Lewis. I know, I know...

    Calling all bullpups

    Love my Taipan Vet. Would like to know if anybody is using a tripod for shooting and what you might recommend? Looked at the BOG Death Grip but it's not optimal because of the way it clamps onto the forearm of the bullpen makes the whole setup rather tail heavy. I thought about using a bipod...

    Yep...I got sucked in

    I have owned springers/gas rams all my life. For over 45 years I've had Beemans, FWB's, Weihrauch's, Theobens, etc. (I still have my Theoben SLR98 and my Weihrauch HW55M). I just got my first PCP. A Taipan Veteran (.22 standard with Coffee laminate stock). Nice airgun. Then I started down...

    What's your Christmas wish ?

    Guess I'm getting into the holiday spirit. I was thinking about what I would wish for this Christmas. Maybe a springer/gas ram of course...given this sub-forum:-). Would it be a collectable? Or would it be something new in the box? A project airgun? Maybe it wouldn't be an airgun but some...
