    Umarex Notos conundrum.

    After reading several threads and watching multiple reviews, I recently purchased an Umarex Notos to fill a PCP carbine niche in my small collection of air rifles, and I'm planning to modify it similar to this thread...

    Tuning FX DreamTac or DreamLite - Is a barrel band needed?

    OK. The weather in TX this past weekend was just too good not to break out the air rifles and do some shooting. I broke out my .25cal DreamTac and was just shooting some groups of Benjamin Domed pellets. The rifle seemed to be shooting OK, but is not quite "tuned" yet. I'm still getting a...

    Teaching kids with Downs to shoot air rifles.

    Good morning. I am reaching out to the larger community for some help/feedback/advice on teaching my son with Downs Syndrome how to shoot an air rifle from a rested position (bench rest on bags or bipod). My wife and I try to keep our son as active as possible outside of the house when we can...

    Diana 34 springer break-in dieseling.

    I didn't want to hijack another thread talking about breaking in air rifles, so I started this one. My classic RWS / Diana 34 .177 air rifle came in the mail a couple of days ago. I went out back to shoot it/break it in with some Crosman 7.9 grain pellets, using the iron sights and it...

    Scope recommendation for pre-EMS Diana 34 in .177cal.

    I decided to advantage of this sale: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1828970 and buy a Diana 34 in .177 cal. It comes with sights, but when I get to the point of mounting a scope on it, what would the good people here recommend? I have been looking at Hawke Airmax and Hawke Vantage...

    If you have a long drive, check out "The Airgun Podcast."

    I'm probably way late to the game, but wanted to give a plug for "The Airgun Podcast" which is created/hosted by Tay Vaughn. I have a pretty decent drive time to/from work and have been listening since episode one. Tay's interview style has grown over the duration of the podcast, and he has...

    BB trap ideas for Sig P365 practice.

    Good evening fellow airgun enthusiasts. I recently purchased a Sig P365 replica in hopes of increasing my pistol trigger time without burning through a ton of increasingly difficult to find and expensive to buy ammunition. I know that there was a recent thread on using airguns as a compliment...

    Youth air rifle teams in North Dallas area.

    My apologies up front if this topic is in the wrong forum, but I thought that the FT shooters here at AGN have the best chance of helping me find an answer. OK. I'm working the internet to try and locate any youth air rifle shooting programs in the North Dallas area. I recently won a...

    .22 cal Discovery leaking from the fill port.

    OK. I decided to hand pump my Disco the other day (needed some exercise). I went to release the air from the fill hose, and it ended up de-gassing the gun. It looks like the air was leaking out of the fill port. I have never dis-assembled the rifle, but now that I own a couple other PCPs to...

    Avenger .22 cal day 2.

    Well, all the pundits were right, and it appears that manufacturing consistency is there. I just moved to the AEAC Eco-Tune with JSB Hades 15.49 grain at 33yds. That's 5 shots. Here are two 10 shot groups. All of that shot off of a cheap $30 Amazon bipod. I am really going to enjoy this...

    AirMax Targetmaster carbine deforming pellet skirts.

    Howdy. I have been trying to sight in my Mrodair Targetmaster .22cal carbine for pesting, and it doesn't seem to settle down at all. Whether I use the single shot tray or the magazine, there is a lot of initial resistance to seat pellets, then they seat in the chamber. I've tried wiggling...

    Recommended break in procedure.

    Hello. While I impatiently await notification that my pre-ordered .25cal FX Dreamline is on its way to me, I was wondering if anyone has advice on a good break in process for a new rifle? I have watched all of the Dreamline review videos that I can find (thanks to all who work hard to put those...

    Nitrogen tank regulator and fill hose source.

    Good evening (at least here in TX), Can anyone who uses, or has used nitrogen for charging their PCP suggest a source to purchase a regulator and hose connection to a nitrogen tank? I am pricing out my air source options for a pending FX Dreamline purchase, and I am seriously considering...

    ATN X-Sight II deals on Amazon.

    I don't know if this is the correct forum for this post, so I apologize if It is in the wrong location. I wanted to share that it looks like the ATN X-sight scopes are on sale right now on Amazon for about 25% lower than I have seen in a while ($532 for 5-20x and $451 for 3-14x). I don't know if...

    Wolf moderator...worth the wait!

    I haven't posted any reviews, but thought that I would share my experience with a moderator that I bought for my son's Maximus Euro (.177 cal). I bought the unit with 9 baffles (link below). The Maximus Euro is already a relatively quiet air rifle, and I really wanted to see just how quiet it...
