Hi, I was wondering if any BRAND NAME air rifle manuf. makes a old style pump air rifle , I have been looking and havent found any,or am I just looking in wrong places? I think if a company made one , they would have buyers.I know I am old school and OLD , but I bet there is quit a few that would like to back to OLD SCOOL if for nothing else ,nostalgia. And those did produce some velocity out of them and accuracy was very good.I used to shoot little army plastic men at about 30ft or so. Took out MANY platoons in my basement.I was a hero in my own mind.

Hi all.

I need a very pressing question answering, which I know my fellow airgunners will have an answer too.

The HW80/HW80k. A staple example of a springer!... But... has the performance changed at all over the years? Is it still the same internally as it was 20 years ago, or has it been dampened down at all. The new HW80k luxus looks cracking. But, I'm unsure whether to go for an earlier model as I want the magic that has given this gun somewhat of an external glory. That said, if the inner workings are the same across all generations, I shall go for the new versions as I do prefer the look.

Please help

It seems more humane than gigging them. Just wondering. Is it legal?

NO LONGER AVAILABLE- DECIDED TO KEEP- THANKS FOR LOOKING

Letting this one go. It’s been a good squirrel tool, and got moved over to be my gopher tool but I never see those critters doing damage so the gun just sits.

This PROD has been fitted inside with Hill parts, larger transfer ports, stout hammer springs and a aftermarket valve. Has the Hill moderator which works really well. It remained unregulated, and has been recently resealed. Added the stainless safety vs the factory plastic, grip wrap, aftermarket adjustable shoulder butt with locking, push button detents. Super lightweight. Good power. Here are some pics-


Comes with 3 mags, a mag pouch, extra hill parts, (2)new spare 0-3000 psi factory gages, (2) aftermarket composite hammer weights, extra Hill hammer springs, the factory innards like valve, transfer port, etc, and a whole lot of spare o rings to seal up the entire gun multiple times from oringsandmore.

The factory stock attachment I still have and it was never used and will ship with this gun. The scope and mounts I will keep. Looking for a fair price of $595, which will include the shipping fees. Will only ship to the CONUS, and payment is standard PP F&F or G&S with buyer paying the Fees.

I have met a lot of great people on this forum, along with at competitive matches. Ask any of them as I’ll give referrals, they’ll tell you I take pride in my equipment and take utmost care of my PCP’s. You can search my history, and you’ll see I’ve never done wrong to anyone

My EVO showed up today and I can’t wait to put some lead down range. Want to thank all of the members who put up with my questions and helped me out on this decision. Each and every response I received was greatly appreciated.

I just bought a Scandinavian Arms SA ADJT SB valve for my 2 liter tank.



It is an extremely well made valve, it operates perfectly, except for the fill gauge reads 20 bar high.

I have compared it to gauges that I know are correct.

I have emailed Scandinavian Arms twice and haven't heard back from them.
I have talked to the dealer I bought it from and their answer was this is an acceptable amount of error in a gauge.

I feel this is too much error, especially at the price they charge for the valve.
Maybe I'm being to critical?

What is your opinion

*****Lower Price!*****

Hey all,

Back a couple of years ago, I purchased a new FX Impact M3 30 cal Sniper with the 700mm barrel. It has sat in the case beside my desk and has never been outside or fired. I just don't have time and I'm getting ready to move.

I spared no expense in building the M3 I wanted. I'm not a rookie either, there isn't a mark on the M3 anywhere. Every single add-ons was torqued correctly, etc. In short, it's perfect. Never had any leaks of any kind and I filled the M3 to 240 bar and it hasn't moved in over a year. It's solid and sealed.

I purchased this right as they changed to the Power Block. The one I was sent doesn't have the Power Block. Doesn't even matter unless you plan on shooting extremely heavy slugs. The M3 will ship in the factory FX hard case that you see here and will be in the box that it was shipped in as well.


You have a few options to purchase.

1) I'll sell the factory stock m3, with all the add-ons removed, just like it came from the factory. $1500.00 plus 4% PayPal fee, Shipped in lower 48 states.

2) You can buy the M3 as is with all add-ons, minus scope. $2400.00 Shipped if in the lower 48 states. If you want insurance, that's extra.

3) You can purchase the M3, all add-ons, including the scope as you see in the picture. $3300.00Shipped if in the lower 48 states. If you want insurance, that's extra.


Here are the add-ons:

1. FX Impact M3 30 cal Sniper 700mm version - Copper color - I paid $2299.00
2. Vortex Viper PST Gen II Scope 5-25x50 - I paid $1100.00
3. Vortex Precision Matched Rings 30mm 1.45 inch - I paid $150.00
4. Vortex Front and Rear Scope Caps - I paid $40.00
5. Saber Tactical Adjustable Butt Stock - I paid $275.00
6. Saber Tactical Cheek Riser - I paid $65.00
7. Saber Tactical Impact Arca II Rail - I paid $160.00
8. Saber Tactical Bag Rider (Not shown, will be included) - I paid $65.00
9. Saber Tactical extended fill probe with magnetic cover - I paid $50.00
10. FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner 700mm with Carbon Fiber Sleeve - $170.00
11. FX Impact Side Shot Magazine - $70.00 (Extra Magazine, High Capacity)
12. FX Carbon Fiber Liner Sleeve (makes barrel more rigid) - $30.00

Total I paid with tax = $4910.00 for the above build.

Looking at;

Commander NV400. Big, built in battery ( not user replaceable)​

Zulus, only HD, not 4K, smaller
ATN X-sight 4K

Had a little time to get a scope on received today RAW hm1000x in 22. Arrived with about 1500 psi on rifle. Shot what I had been using on zelos last night JSB 15.89. In basement mind you but crack CRACK like an echo. Said to myself sounds as loud as a standard velocity 22. Tried 2 moderators. A little better but too loud for prying neighbors. I didn’t have much more time then and put chronograph on. Oooo 1110 fps.
Damn , looked at test that came with gun. Utah air used 25.39 at 950 fps. I had about 15 of those left in one of those 4 weights test pack.
Better still sorta loud but not that CRACK.

Luckily another order came while I was out, new to me AEAs in various weights

Standard length. Moderator adaptor installed so you can use any 1/2-20 threaded one you choose. Will ship CONUS only in soft case where legal $1550, not looking for any trades, payment by PayPal F&F with confidence, check my feedback.

Hello,
I’ve ordered a Zulus HD non LRF 3-12 for my Notos. Has anyone mounted one on their notos? I’m wondering if it will mount right up on the pic rail or will I need to get something to make it work? Thanks, Danny.

Got it mounted up with 10rd maples. Still working on the cheek riser.

Check out the renewed rtiarms.eu website. Let us know if you like it.

Any guesses as to what we might see?

At my place I cannot find any of these Eunjin or Seneca or eventually Samyang pellets. I had a tin for years but ran out recently with a .22 size.
Interestingly nobody came up with an idea to modify or fabricate some sort of crimping tool that would make these grooves on slugs?

Hey guys,I hope this info. might help. I got a message today and from what I gathered , this is the NEW WEBSITE to get a hold of MAC1 shop that has the STEROID KIT for the SHERIDAN. He is evidently healing up from accident and getting back to work.or has been up and running for a short while. I hope info. is correct.He said there was rumors he died and that is false. I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THIS THOUGH , so you will have to verify for yourself. I HOPE THIS IS NOT OLD NEWS. I am just getting into air guns .

Hi to all,

Who can highlight some reviwes of the Katran C (or CB) regarding power achieveable and the way to do it/tunning?
The regulator is easily accessible?

Thanks
PB

I just purchased a brass Rowan Setback Trigger for my TX200 Mk III. Before I dig into this, I read in the instructions that there may be some interference issues at the rear of the trigger guard with the new trigger. If you have installed one of these, what should I expect in that regard ? Does their Rowan trigger guard correct for that ? I didn't see any mention of that issue at time of ordering. Thanks.

Looking down the road for 30 cal pellet and 30 cal slug guns. Not a fan of FX, Daystate- electronic, skout- electronic, I know that’s a lot right there. But, for pellets, a non bullpup design appeals and pellets allows for using a shorter barrel to help with OAL. Since its purpose is pellets only, cost is there too. One that cropped up was macavity arms, but, is there any chance that model gun would be fairly close to tier 1 equipment? If it feels like a few others in its price range, no names,, then I’d have no interest. Most of my preferred options are in 2 grand range. For slugs, power, smooth, and relatively quiet is the game. Epic 2,RTI Mora, kalibrgun snipe 2,etc maybe I wait for Shot show or IWA.

Just out of sheer curiosity, I've been toying with the idea. Now stay with me. I will make it as concise as possible.

Assuming there was no legal limits to the power a spring piston rifle could produce AKA the American market, what differences to the internals of the gun are altered to restrict for the UK market. I'm under no illusion that, ofcouse, the main spring will be weaker, but what about the piston stroke? Or the cylinder diameter/air volume or TP? If you disassembled hw95k, one bought in UK and the other bought in USA what differences would you find internally. One produces 17ft lb(usa) and the other sub 12(uk).

Do sub 12 guns even have the capacity from a piston stroke, TP, cylinder volume stand point, to ever achieve that of an identical American verson in principle? It's certainly not the case to just put a larger spring in or wack half an inch of spacers in as the gun just goes coil bound and you are unable to cock the rifle. So there must be other powers at play.

Has been taken...

Dont know if anyone could use this to build a set of walnut grips for a pistol, its the buttstock off a walnut stocked T/C Black Diamond muzzleloader that I made into a pistol about 8 yrs ago.
Thickest part is 1 5/8 of course tapering like a butt stock does, but I would think you could make a nice set of conventional grips w/o thumb rest etc.
Will give this to 1st person who says they want it in this thread, not putting in classifieds since Im giving it away and I will get shipping in lower 48.

MODS IF THIS NEEDS TO BE MOVED FEEL FREE TO. THANKS.

I will be doing some testing with a TX200 MKI (with Vortex Pro Sport). I am admittedly an ACCURACY FREAK, and have lost the battle to this addiction. However, I would like to occasionally take small game at max range 40 yds or so. I would like to try three pellets (or slugs, but I know ZERO about slugs or if that is even applicable in my gun). What do you folks suggest as a top 3 to try. Again accuracy, uniformity, and so on are top priority.

I currently use R10 match pellets, and they are very, very good. I have been out of the game for 10-12 years, so I have obviously missed a bunch of stuff lol.

.177 cal

Look what the Springer Fairy brought this January: a 1981 HW35E .22 cal, with a 22” barrel.

I seek out old quality springers for many reasons, the most important being that desirable guns are no longer in production, or no longer produced with quality. But the pickings here are slim. A HW35, for instance, turns up roughly once per year, and I’ve never seen one this early, or in this caliber, until now.

Having been pretty much done with .177 cal spring guns, I was glad to score a .22 cal HW35.

With its lacquered, finger-grooved walnut stock, capped grip, and factory-installed sling mounts, this looks like an E model to me, but I’m not up on the myriad HW varieties, so this could be an L, as well?

“Mellrichstadt-Bay” stamped on the right side of the breech block, under ‘Weihrauch’ dated this gun to a degree, even pre-purchase. The serial number puts it at a production date of 1981. It’s the late leather seal era for the HW35’s. If this gun was just a couple of years younger, it would have had a synth seal and an increased stroke.

This small-engine gun is a whopping 120cm / ~48” long, or as long as my Hatsan 135! This is of course down to the 22.2” (measured) barrel, apparently the longest production springer barrel there is, or shall ever be. It is quite a reach to cock the gun, and it is a veritable pole to handle in tight quarters.

The HW35 weighs 3777g / 8.32lbs., which makes it a mid-weight gun in my book. I’m completely at ease with it, mass-wise. The length may be another matter, heh.

There are some minor scuffs in the stock finish, as well as a couple of surprisingly bad scratches on the barrel. Other than that, the blueing is mostly in great condition, there’s little rust, and the stock under the finish is perfect. Unlike many oldies, this gun obviously hasn’t spent years in cold storage, which makes life much easier, as far as corrosion control goes.

The seller was extremely curt on the gun history. I get the feel that this Weihrauch has been shot some over the decades, but not all that much, maybe a couple large tins or so in total. It also seems nothing has been done to the gun after it left the factory, which is a far better situation than some of the alternatives.

The barrel lock is sturdy and works perfectly (although in need of lubrication). There is no characteristic wear on the receiver face from the barrel lock “sear” rubbing on it on barrel returns.

The barrel breaks and travels silently and smoothly, like on a thoroughly broken in quality gun. I have heard complaints about the noisy cocking of HW35’s, but there’s none of that here.

There’s pretty heavy droop in the barrel, the biggest of any of my guns. We’ll see how the sighting in goes.

The short cocking slot the articulated cocking lever enables is an obvious boon to rigidity and stability, as is the two-screw stock attachment setup, with no rickety side screws in the thinnest part of the stock as on most guns.

The LOP of the 35 is a perfect, full 36cm. I wouldn’t be able to deal with the more modern, tiny Weihrauchs in the same power bracket.

Raising the new old gun for a shot, the stubby, almost bulbous front stock and the super-long barrel make the 35 feel much like my BSF54, but in a breakbarrel configuration. Barrel heavy it is. Likewise, the shot cycle is almost identical: a soft, elastic jolt at the end, which gives a leather-sealed gun away, all by itself.

The gun diesels pretty heavily, no surprise there. Pulling patches it seems the bore has never been cleaned, in its 44 years of life. Black-brown filth, reeking of classic burnt factory grease, covers the patches all over.

The first couple shots through the chrono tell me the gun is a tired old lady: FTT’s leave the barrel at 120m/s / 394fps, Hobbies at 141m/s / 463fps, for measly 7 joules / 5 fpe. You’d think this is a German limit gun, but there’s no Freimark anywhere on the gun.

My 1980’s D34 doubled its tiny ME from a simple clean / relube, no parts changed, so I’m not too worried. 80’s and older lubes have mostly turned into semi-dried glue by this time, and I guess the mainspring is fatigued, as well. I can already tell the breech seal is really flat and crumbly-looking.
