    Vortek kit in a Diana Airking not even close to 12 ftlbs !!!!

    Woah Cosmic that CF shroud looks fantastic my friend. I am building a short stroked 12ftlbs RWS54 action and custom stock myself. I have been trying to decide how I wanted to cover the barrel and this is a good idea. Any sources for the tube you can share? a bit more details if you have them...

    Tuning the Benjamin Marauder

    Well like I said in my post this is NOT my first PCP nor is it my first FT rifle. I do not see any reason to buy either of those rifles you mentioned. Not that they are not fine rifles but they just have no interest for me. I bought this rifle as an inexpensive means to get an FT PCP rifle...

    Tuning the Benjamin Marauder

    Well I just bought my FIRST marauder. I got it from a member here and he said it was basically untouched out of the box from him. I bought it for an informal FT rifle with the intentions of tuning it to 12ftlbs. It is of course a .177 caliber. I must have just lucked the hell out reading...

    FT Podcast Episode 19 - Interview with Scott Hull on how to set up a scope

    This was honestly fabulous.. Probably the best information I have heard in one place for Field Target ever. Thank you for making it. Scott Hull is a nice fellow and has already helped me with my RWS54 destroked build quite a bit. Apparently he is a wealth of information on a great many...

    200$ " Killer Springer"....Why the H$LL Not ?

    Honestly this is something I have thought about a lot. I have not always been in a position to buy the more expensive higher end spring piston guns. I always thought why do they have to be so expensive? It seemed absurd to me that a quality spring piston rifle could not be built for much less...

    R9 today...

    Matt, No Problem man. Perhaps my mindless ramblings about it might help someone or possibly inspire someone else to take the leap. The idea of a 12ftlbs FT short stroke version of the RWS54 is just too tasty to ignore. I am glad I have one here to tinker on. I will be posting occasionally...

    R9 today...

    Matt, Hey thanks man I can post here some occasionally but I have been working on this thing since before I moved from Tennessee. I have a running thread about it on the Dianawerk Collective page. It is called Project Lead Sled. There are actually two pages part one and part two since it...

    R9 today...

    Nice shooting man. Those R9's can be amazingly accurate. As far as a spring compressor I just built one. It is dead simple and I just used an old C clamp that I had lying around. I made it from a piece of 6x6 pressure treated wood I had laying around. Planed the main spar down to like 2.5...

    Weihrauch HW95

    I don't have a Crosman Nitro but have seen them in the stores. I HAVE owned quite a few Weirauch rifles. I think I can be very honest when I say that in NO WAY does any crosman springer stack up against even the cheapest Weirauch rifles. There is just no comparison to be made between the...

    The S510 just landed. This gun is un. believable. (OK, honeymooning a bit)

    That is indeed a nice rig John. I like that new stock. Enjoy! Pete

    Advice, Best scope/mount for RWS 54

    Lewis, Yes well like I said I competed with one on my HW97 MKIII for several years and it was a fine scope. I would buy one again and indeed may well do that for one or the other of my FT projects I am working on. The RWS54 is an interesting beast. I hope to tame it here soon and enjoy...

    Advice, Best scope/mount for RWS 54

    I have an RWS54 but I am converting it to be a short stroked 12ftlbs rifle but I am still interested to hear what people say about the best options for the rifle. I currently have that ZR mount on loan from a friend and have yet to really get to use it. My rifle has been in storage since we...

    Si Pittaway -- Doing his thing with an Imp

    Damn I love an accurate springer. I have done similar with my old HW97 MKIII FT rifle shooting paint balls and cheetos LOL That is a touch smaller tho ;) Pete

    Gas ram conversion, Walther LGV

    Hehe that is not quite how I would put it but in essence Deja is correct in my view. The LGV is a fine airgun just the way it is and it is nice to finally see some new blood in the precision springer realm that is not your typical magnum teeth jarring inaccurate flavor of the month POS. I...

    FWB FWB 300 facelift posts ..Pics

    Very nice man. I once got to shoot a nice FWB 300S a friend had and it was an amazing rifle. Dead shooting and nearly silent yet stunningly accurate. Whats not to like?? Oh and no tanks and no pumps either. Maybe I need to get one of these and play with it. I am working on an RWS54...

    Welcome to AIRGUN NATION - please introduce yourself here!

    Hey John long time no see!! Yeah that was a LONG time ago now. Jeez how time flies. I have NO idea where Cliff is but we are central east coast about an hour north of Palm Beach. I am working on my RWS54 AS WE SPEAK!! I just had to make another spring compressor because mine was left in...
