It doesn't always happen this way, but when it does, i am thankful:

The shipping carrier has notified us that the package they transported was different than what you entered when purchasing the shipping label:

Weight changed from 12 lbs to 7 lbs 11 oz

+$9.24 Refund

The shipping carrier has credited your Pirate Ship account a total of $9.24. You can review these transactions in your reports page.

These adjustments are coming from the shipping carrier—not Pirate Ship—and would have happened no matter where you buy the label. The carrier's automated machines detected that your package was different than you said it would be. Common differences include:

• Different weight.
• Different dimensions.
• Dropped off in a different zipcode.
• Using Priority Mail packaging with a different service.
• Using Flat Rate packaging without buying that specific Flat Rate service.
• Address correction was required for delivery.
• Residential vs. Commercial address.

Of course, the automated machines the carriers use for this sometimes make mistakes. If you're sure your shipment is what you said it was, you can dispute the change. To do so, just open the shipment in Pirate Ship and click the “Dispute this adjustment” link to start the process.

You can find more information on the carrier's adjustment systems and the dispute process in this article.

If you have any questions just let us know, we’re here to help!

Hi All,
Today's rant is brought to you by a rotten Roast Duck I received at a local restaurant. While it was true that most of the duck smelled fine, the neck smelled like rotten bird crop, a unique smell familiar to poultry and fancy bird keepers, and the duck was sent back to the chef!
So that got me thinking of a question for the forum: which end of the quarry is really the dirty end, the head or the rear? I don't know besides what the hunter's ed class told me, about gutting the quarry quickly before it spoils. They didn't say anything about the head end, except something about antlers, if the quarry even has them.
I do note that I seem to suffer a lot more head end infections than rear end infections. Does that mean there are more pathogens in the head area (ear, nose and throat)? By the time things get to the rear end, passing through an acidic stomach, enzymes in the intestine, an immune system along the way, have the pathogens mostly been dealt with? Is the food in the digestive tract more fermentable or "active" toward the head... and already fermented or digested, and the microbes relatively benign toward the rear? Should hunters or home-grown meat eaters be paying a little more attention to the head and throat (esophagus)?
What do y'all do when field dressing game?
Mike

I think I may finally be on the correct path towards the bottom of the (bottomless?) rabbit hole haha!

All I need now is an Alkin Mariner W31, a limited edition walnut stock Huben K1 in .25, and two American Air Arm’s Evol’s… (one chambered in .30 and one in.22 of course). I suppose I may as well add two J.B. Great White’s and a an Air Tanks Plus cascade system while I’m all in!

Wish me luck

Have you found your bottom yet?

Cody here, First post!
Grew up in tx predator and wing shooting. New to air guns, bow hunter for 15 years shoulder issue and all the prairie dogs have me excited about making the plunge and have narrowed down to the following.

I’ve never been much of a paper puncher, more into hunting.

Been watching and reading and have come to this so far

fx impact 3 .22 for bird squirrel plinking and a .35 barrel kit for p dogs possibly fox small varmits
I like the barrel change option simplicity/long track record but not sure it would be worth retuning sighting etc please share your thoughts.

impact 3 with multiple barrels or seperate caliber dynamic or panthera.

Thinking an aea hp or element in .50 cal for up close and personal hog ground blind tree stand hunts or possibly the shorter Zues .72

Nomad compressor open to recomendations

need insight on a refil bottle or bottle sizes.

more interested in quality than budget, steer me in the right direction.

My ever reliable Uragan .22 compact dumped everything sometime in a weeks period. I tried to air it up but seems like it's leaking out barrel or fill probe area. Should I just call Tony @ Talon & get an Oring kit.? I assume I have to tear the entire thing down. It's never leaked anything till now.
Joe

I have a 300cc fx bottle non m3 valve with wrap. I can keep the wrap on or take it off for you. $175TYD any questions just ask and appreciate you all looking.

Likes and dislikes? Shot count? Accuracy?

Hey guys, selling this almost new Taipan 22 compact CZ Barrel for a friend. He purchased the gun new a couple months ago from Tony, and decided to go a different route. He asked me to list it for him.

Gun is in my possession and ready to be shipped. These are getting hard to find especially since talon tunes it out of them- and now that version 2 is out.. good luck getting a new original vet.

Gun will come with factory box, 2 mags, single shot tray and fill probe.

has a few small marks on the stock but in my opinion gun is a 9 out of 10. I haven't shot it, its just sitting in the box waiting for its new home. I wanted to keep it and buy it from my buddy, but my mutant has my attention and I don't really need another compact.....

Nonetheless, asking price shipped to CONUS is 1100 PPFF OBO. no trades, he just wants to fund a boat.

Shot tight 5 shot group yesterday with 177 H&N FT 4.51 at 20 yards but today a 5 shot 2" nice vertical string down the middle with same pellet. What causes that? On the internet, just talks about firearms vertical stringing. One post says you get it when you pull the trigger at different times in your breathing cycle. I am sure it is something I am not doing consistently but cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance for all replies.

Hopped in car to check out what I thought was an air gun store, drove 2 t hours to get there only to find it’s not a brick and mortar store,website listed address, store hours,and phone number phone went to voicemail ,had their sign on door but it wasn’t a store. 3 hrs to get home because of traffic so if you only sell online PLEASE POST on your website no walk-in sales.

Been looking and can’t seem to find it. Do the hybrid slugs need/benefit from the Slug Power Kit? Or are they fine to shoot out of a factory M3 as is? Do you need a different probe or is the factory probe fine?

First time shooting in a month, no excuses, just happy I could shoot! 1 shot each in numbered sequence. 46 & 48 shots for record on eachcard. Circle equals the 8 ring on the EBR TARGET.

Too many projects so I'm letting this one go. Crosman 1720T in excellent condition. Currently set at 12 ft. lbs. Shoots, functions and holds air as it should. Comes RAI m-4 stock adapter and UTG butt 3 position butt stock. Has DonnyFL moderator adapter. Scope and rings are not included. Payment by USPS money order, certified bank cashiers check or personal check (personal checks take up to two weeks to ship). Price is $450 obo to the lower 48 (HI,AK and territories will require additional postage). Send me a PM with "i'll take it" or ask questions.

Recently picked up a Krait and what a fantastic rifle. Got a chance to shoot some yesterday, accurate and not an air hog which both make me happy. Sooooo, what do I do but come home and tinker. Bad me.
Just wanted to switch the plenum guage to a digital one I had for fine tuning. Dumped my air and swapped it out. Then I notice the bottle guage was crooked and wanted to make it straight, bigger oring should work. Oops didn't work so put it back the way it was and air up. Now after trying 4 orings, couple different sizes and even trying the guage that I replaced it leaks soon as it gets to 50+ bar...
Local hardware store has a good assortment but are they the right type, (rubber compound?) I just don't know. Anyone have an idea or do I wait for U/A to open and order replacement one's.
Really like the Airmaks guns and would love to get this sorted
Thanks Greg

Kral NP03 .22 and a tack driver with crossman hollow points and I can include a bunch if needed. Bare rifle shipped with 2 magazimes and fill probe is $250, and With Bipod $300 shipped. Tanto is $100 shipped, Athlon 4-14×44 $150 shipped. Westhunter 4-16×44 $110 shipped. Any extra pics can be provided. Add $25 shipping west of MS river thx.

Happy Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend…Michael Wendt, the owner, operator of AGN! He’s not only the man behind AGN, he is also a terrific shooter, photographer, videographer, husband, father and a genuinely good dude! I was going to post a couple of pictures from RMAC but we didn’t take any, you’re the photographer!

The boys and I hope you’re having a great weekend, buddy!

Just back from Charlie Frear at Georgia Airguns, my .25 Kalibrgun Cricket. Charlie installed a 1/2" moderator adapter in the shroud and painted the shroud black. He also performed his proprietary power tune, installing a power plenum, porting etc. The rifle has been totally resealed.

The return test target is as found below. Very light and minimal handling marks barely evident on the Frear painted shroud. Everything else is virtually perfect.

Atlas bipod included.

I have approximately $1,500 in this rifle without optics. It simply isn't my "thing" as I am proned to really like long barreled bench rifles and I don't hunt any more. Offering first-come for $875 shipped within the continental US - PayPal F&F (check my ratings) without optics. With Element Helix 6-24x50 SFP scope and FX No Limit Picatinny mounts/rings (all like new), add $450.

Will Piatt tuned Evanix MAX-ML .25 @ 65 FPE with the JSB 34gr, I will also ship with the Original spring if you like to tame it down to 55 FPE or less.

If you buy this gun you can have a Free JTS .25 Standard ( if you read members opinion on this gun you see a lot of positive reviews ) just pay shipping.


so for 500 bucks plus shipping you can get a Hammer of a Pup with a free good 30mm scope and a second good gun.

For an extra 20 bucks ( towards the shipping ) I can even leave the scope on the gun

This Velcro around the back of the scope (super easy and cheap), provides a shadow around the scope that allows your eye to have a more clear vision of reticle and target.

And also is very easy to move front or rear to adjust focus and powers of the scope.

Hello,
I am wanting a big bore for coyote hunting during the day. These will be called coyotes and I might try some night hunting as well. I've always hunted with powder burners and I'm wanting to do the Air Rifle now. Now I don't want a high fill gun pressure wise like 4500 psi. I would prefer around 3000. I want to shoot slugs and I want it pretty flat shooting. Most of my called coyotes are killed at 100 to 125 yards or less. To be honest I mostly kill them with a shotgun so 50 yards in usually. I don't need a high shot count 3 to 6 would be fine before I have to fill up. I was looking at a Texan in 30 CAL or 257 or a bulldog in 357. My biggest bother with the Texan is how long it is. I'm open to any suggestions and want to hear what you guys have to say who have done this on a regular basis. I have tanks to fill gun. I honestly don't want anything bigger than a 357. We can't use them for deer in OK so don't need bigger.

Thanks
Jon

Hi Folks,
Can anyone tell me anything about the Weihrauch HW57?
It is an under lever, but I’ve ever heard of one.
I am familiar with the HW97 and the HW77 (I think those are the correct numbers) which are both under levers and are superbly accurate, but I know nothing about a HW57.
I have the opportunity to buy one, at what I think might be a good price…
Are they still in production?
How does it compare to the two other Weihrauch underlevers?
Many thanks,
Pete.

I finally ordered a Brocock xr 25 laminate. I hope it shoots jsb 25 grains at 850 fps. With what I have seen it should be very close. Can you adjust the regulater for speed? 850 to 875 is where I would like to set it at if adjustable...

This barrel seems awfully close to some of LW's .215x.221 . Think it would work for slugs.?
Can get 1/17 twist in 4 groove
1/16 in 3,4 or 6 groove
Joe

Wanting to trade for a dreamline bottle version or any type of 25 I can ship or we can meet in Ohio locally give me a text 234-251-4518
