Accidental GooGone spillage on Break Barrel seal - done?

Sorry if question is redundant. Did search and nothing came up. Did 1st clean/degreasing of new break barrel (Umarex SurgeMax Elite .22) and accidentally got a drop or two of GooGone on the seal. Manufacturer states NOT to use any petroleum based cleaners but GooGone seems everywhere in forums on cleaning so I bought some. I wiped it off immediatey but that little nagging thought lingers. So...is the seal doomed? Will it melt in the mid/long run or is it ok? Thanks.

UPDATE FOR 2024 AAFTA NATIONALS Massachusetts Rifle Association MRA FT

We at MRA FT have been preparing to host the AAFTA 2024 Nationals and there has been some pushback from the Hunter class shooters wanting to shoot 2 shots per target as it has always been done. So I have a solution, the hunter shooters will be shooting one course while the remaining classes will shoot the other which is often the case. There will still be 25 lanes on each course with 2 targets per lane, We will have a separate scorecard for the Hunter class, the card will be for a 15 lane, 60 shot match. For instance, the Hunter shooters will be assigned the Yellow course lanes 10 -25 day one, then the Blue course lanes 1-15 for day 2 making a 120 points total for the weekend. The WFTF and Open Class Shooters will be shooting 1 shot per target 25 lanes per day for a total of 100 points for the duration of the weekend. Please respond and let me know what you think I hope that this resolves any issues.

N/A  Hand pump not filling R5M?

My R5M was empty. Last time I looked I thought it was fully charged. So a leak needs to be found unless the adult grandson has been shooting it without topping it off. My fill tank is empty and I was just going to do simple. The fill probe was not sealing so I was wanting to hand pump still. Tried changing the O-rings and it still wouldn't seal. Wondered if when completely empty it needed more pressure to start it sealing. I could crank up the Coltri. Just wondering about the whole business. Anyone with R5M experience? TIA and Be Well, Bandito.

Do .177 Pellets Ricochet Off Metal Targets

I have a backyard range that I use to practice Field Target. I have a bunch of steel targets, some of the resetting kind as well as a couple of knock down/sting reset and a half-dozen spinners on the sides of trees. My next-door neighbors are great and probably the nicest I have ever had. Today Mark came over and told my wife that two or three times he has heard my ricochets hit his window that faces my range. That window is 10 feet higher than my targets and 20 yards away (almost perpendicular to my sightline) from the nearest metal resetting target (which is 35 yards from my shooting point).

My understanding (and experience) is that my 13.4 gr JSB pellets are of such soft lead that they effectively splatter when hitting steel. So I find it to be a near physical impossibility that my ricochets are hitting his house. That being said, I want to keep the great relationship we have with them and want to keep shooting. So I talked to him and told him I would move target s further away from his house and he seemed to be happy with that.

But is it physically possible?

Cheers,
Greg

PCP Rifle  SOLD Anschutz 9015 Bench Start

Up for sale is an Anschutz 9015 Benchrest Start air rifle. I am the original owner and I had 2 of these rifles, sold one this is the last one. I was shooting 10 meter supported with this rifle and shot 2 match’s that’s it. This is as close to new in the box as you can get, there are no issues what so ever with this gun. I also purchased from Anschutz a 12 lb (light varmint) kit which has unadjustable regulator, hammer, and hammer spring adjusting tool which cost over $200. As you can see by the test target it shoots very well. I also upgraded the front and rear sight with Gehmann adjustable rear Iris and front non cant sight. I also switched the trigger shoe to a Tec-HRO touch point trigger shoe. I also have QYS training pellets I can sell to the buyer for $10 a tin and a Air Venturi 98 cubic Ft air tank for $275. I'll split shipping cost (rifle) if purchased by buyer. Will not break up whole package for sale of rifle. Asking $1800 w/12lb kit /$1650 just rifle. I live in Gilbert , Az and if you have any question please contact me.

Help to identify an air rifle.

Hello!

I recently inherited several air guns, which I believe are mostly Daisy. I'm having trouble identifying some of them, like the one below, because there are no markings! Most are vintage, but I honestly can't tell. I'm not even sure what it shoots. It's in a red "Red Ryder" case, which know that doesn't mean much. Do you have any advice on what I should look for when identifying these air guns?

Thank you!

Jeff

Hello from California

My first post here. I've been out of the airgun scene for 25 years or so, but recently found this forum looking for the old Yellow Forum. Seems like there's a wealth of knowledge here as there was on the Yellow Forum. I look forward to reading and continuing to learn here when I can.

AEA Challenger Bullpup 32" Barrel .30 caliber Mod results are in..The Coyote Rifle is done now. Accuracy tested only at 33 yards so far, 1 ragged hole. Perfect. If anyone is looking for an excellent larger game hunting rifle at a very reasonable price, I would say to consider this one.

PCP Rifle  NLA Vault Clearance Sale continues - Very accurate & beautiful FX Royale 500 in .25 caliber

Up next is my .25 FX Royale 500. Arguably the most smooth operating rifle in my collection. Stunningly accurate and very quiet. The trigger is a thing of perfection.

The walnut stock is in as near perfect condition as a rifle of this age can be. No visible marks that I can ascertain.

Last year, AOA complete resealed it for me and changed out the steel bottle to carbon fiber. It really improved the rifle's handling characteristics.

It will include four magazines.

The .58" group shown below was at 50 yards. It likes either the 33.95 gr King Heavy pellets or the 25.4 gr pellets. I shoot the AA 25.4 pellets through it to keep the trajectory loop less of a factor.

Four magazines and a single shot loader included.

Price reduced to $1,260 via PayPal F&F or Zelle, shipped within the continental US.

For the Athlon 8-34x56 Athlon Argos Scope and FX no Limit Mounts - all as new - with calculated trajectory chart included, add $400.

Magazine use in WFTF

Hey folks, I was wondering if one could use a magazine in a WFTF event? Or a State/National match? Since I've been practicing with a rig for WFTF I found my magazines will provide the same accuracy as a single shot loader. I remove the magazine when done with my lane and place an empty chamber flag in the breech just as I normally would. I looked in the rules and didn't see anything mentioned, but I've been known to glance over details sometimes. Can anyone qualify if a magazine can be used?

FX  FX AIRGUNS AND THE OLD LADY VIDEO ?

My memory is foggy, and this was probably 15 or 20 years ago, so please bear with me....

Does anyone else remember a very short, (maybe 30 seconds long), FX airgun commercial video, with a little old woman in a chair, watching television?

As i recall, she was sitting in a rocking chair, knitting or crocheting while watching television, in an otherwise almost empty room.

Next to her was a open window, and suddenly, loud annoying black birds outside, began disrupting her watching television.

So she picks up a FX rifle, and quickly eliminates the disruption, and then goes back to watching her television.

Does anyone else remember this classic airgun advertisement?

Ive searched Youtube, but it seems like this commercial is no where to be found.

Does anyone else remember this classic video?

Anyone still have a link?
