Well guys, after probably 2,500 pellets slamming into this Crosman Squirrel Resetting Target, it finally snapped the welds!!!!

It's been set out at 73 yards and shot at with mainly my Crosman Fire, Crosman Diamondback and 30+ FPE Avenger its couple years I've had it, but it's still nuts to see how concave this thing became. Probably from the Avenger lol You can see the ~4 spot welds on the right. Or where they used to be!

(Here it's laid on a flat cinder block for reference of the curve.)


I have spray painted the two target areas multiple times over time and I technically can still use the target, it just won't be shooting through the squirrel "vitals" hole for the top one.

I think it's the best target for the money. Like $17, don't have to walk down range to reset it, can play "how fast can you smack the target" with a friend (one shoots top, other shoots reset target on bottom, keep going til mags run out), and it also is very obvious when you get a hit or miss. Just all around good target to have for you guys looking for something awesome for cheap.

Got mine from Walmart but I know they're on Amazon too.

I have a dreamline .177 by Ernest this gun has been shot very little. It just doesn’t get any attention with all my other guns. Really looking to trade for anything Kalibrgun. Or $750.

@bigHUN Want to say you were right about using a resin printer. I really like the one I just got. Still learning but I can put three of these on the bed at one time and print them in 3hrs. Just blisteing fast compared to FDM. Very little post processing. I could push six or eight of these out the door in an 8 hour shift, no problem. If I went for a one piece model I could do significantly more per day.







Now that I am getting some reliability with the resin printer, I am going to increase the resolution of the models. That will improve laminar flow over the tesla baffles. I'm getting six tesla baffles in 128mm with an air stripper as the first "baffle". This specific model is quite nice and the testers are pleased with both the accuracy and the suppression.

I was sitting on the deck drinking coffee with the uragan watching for squirrels. Saw a few, but so briefly never any shot. Then I caught some sort of movement in the shade under a cedar about 125 yards away that got my attention. Pulled up the uragan, set the parallax close enough and put scope on 16 power to take a look. It was an extremely small fawn, I'm 5'11" and when it stood as tall as it could, the top of its head would not reach my knee. Went inside and got my Swarovski bino's, got comfortable in chair and watched it. Over the course of nearly half an hour, it wandered all over my yard slowly getting closer to the deck/house. That is not normal behavior for a fawn no more than a week old, they sit tight wherever mom leaves them to browse until she comes back to nurse them, they do not walk around with mom that young unless mom is moving them somewhere. It got within 40 yards before I heard it. It would take a few steps, look around, briefly look nervous and quietly bawl trying to call mom. It ended up 10 feet from me, and we had a quiet conversation, me talking to it and it quietly bawling looking at me like it wanted me to find its mom. Finally it walked around the corner of the house, still travelling directly away from where it came from, so young it is not completely steady walking. The odds of it travelling that far, bawling for mom and eventually getting re-united are slim, but there is a chance. I'm guessing mom bedded it down under the cedars and crossed the road to go browse something in the cattle field or one of it's draws. I heard a few vehicles over there which probably were blocking mom from getting back in time to nurse the fawn. Fawns that young have no scent, it keeps them safe. The only way for mom to find it again is by calling, and it is a long way from where she left it, and getting further every step. The slim is why I let it walk around the corner of the house and disappear. Way over 90% chance it is a meal in the next hour travelling around bawling like that, foxes/coyote/bobcat/etc.. will eat it soon, especially where it was heading.

Would have been a good meal or two, I've actually eaten two that young in my life. Back around 2006 I was deer hunting and watched a doe late september browsing on berries for over half an hour, it was about to get too dark to use the open sights on my lever action I was using, and was the only deer I saw all day so I took her. BTW, legal hunting times here are one hour before sunrise and an hour after sunset. I had someone hunting a couple hundred yards above me on the power line, so just sat there until it was completely dark before getting down and dragging her out of the briars. Then a tiny little thing stepped out 40 or so feet away balling loud. Yep, late Sept. and a almost new born fawn. That is actually not uncommon in SC, I've seen them every month of the year in this state, very rare Dec-Feb, but have seen them even then. I knew it would be torn up in short order if I left it, so I walked up to it and took it out from inches with my handgun. One minute later it's brother steps out bawling, same thing. I'd killed their mom and they were dead already, only difference is they died instantly with a bullet to the brain instead of being torn to pieces overnight.

Kalibrgun Cricket. Selling one of my guns - $950 plus shipping - but will consider best offer (will consider trade let me know what you have - doesn't have to be gun - could be good optics, hunting equepment other related equepment air charging equipment.. etc ).
The gun is the slugs shooter - set to shoot 44 grain slugs around 900 fps.
Comes with 3 magazines. This gun was power tuned by GA airguns and Derrick Wall. Absolutely nothing wrong with the gun. Holding air etc.
This gun has custom moderator (which was made for me by special order in Russia). The rifle is supper quiet - generate very good power basically silent.
Let me know if you have any question.

Time to thin the herd a bit. Pictures are below and all are in very good condition unless described otherwise. Paypal and Venmo Accepted. For shipping purposes, air pressure will be removed prior to shipping. All have been holding air for months at this point so I see no cause for concern with leaks in any of the three airguns. All are sold as is, but are in good working and shooting condition and if I mounted a scope, they could be taken to the range right now.

SOLD SOLD SOLD 1. Brocock Commander .22 caliber with folding stock. The fill adapter was upgraded so no worries about blowing the o-ring on a quick fill. There is a small nick on cocking handle as noted in the picture. Comes with original box, breech seals, and one magazine. Shipped only where legal in the USA. $800 + shipping

2. KaliberGun Cricket II in .22 caliber. Great little gun but find myself shooting the Argus 60 a little more these days. Comes with one magazine and original box. No scratches other than maybe some lite handling marks (said this just to be extra cautions, I did notice anything). Used for a Review two years ago and time to let it go. $1200 + Shipping

SOLD SOLD SOLD 3. Crosman 1720t in .177 caliber with upgraded wood grips, trigger shoe and HUMA regulator. You will notice no fill gauge as it is required to be removed when you add the HUMA regulator. Also the port was opened slightly to get up to max speed for Pistol Field Target. Comes in original box. If you are looking for one, you will know that these are no longer made and slightly in demand because of this. $500 + Shipping

I recently moved back to where I grew up. I got my first pump air gun at a flea market in this town about 43 years ago. That same fleamarket still happens every Sunday so I went by to check it out. Not as many vendors as there used to be, but there’s been something interesting there every time I’ve checked it out.

I saw this wrench and realized it was probably just the right size for the pressure gauges on pcps. I’m a bit of a klutz and I managed to scrape up the finish on a few of my pressure gauges trying to get them off with tools that weren’t really right for the job. I’ve been meaning to get a socket that fits it, but this should do the job and the price was right - $1.

I’m trying to decide how much energy to put into cleaning up the finish on it and how to go about it. In the photo I’ve already given it a once over and cleaned off the soft powdery stuff and covered it with ballistol. I have wire brushes and a rotary tool with some buffing and sanding tips that would probably make short work of the rust layer. There’s always steel wool. It’s got somebody’s initials chiseled into it as well.

Some of the vendors at that market have interesting collections of old tools so I will be back. I have not seen anything vaguely like an airgun there.

I know the rifle isnt anything special but the box is kinda cool. From what I read Air Rifle Hq. were importing HW before Beeman came onto the stage. Tom Gaylord has a nice article about the companies beginning. I figure why not for $200.00 hope you enjoy the photos.

I honestly have no idea, thus I'm asking the question. How often do you folks depressurize your PCPs? Reasoning??

I was shooting at cans placed 33’ away. After I heard a pellet TING the steel can, something then flew back towards my right, hit a chair or other object there, and fell. I found a pellet head on the porch floor.

Didn’t think a lead pellet could zing all the way back that far, even when hitting steel. The only reason I could think why it might have happened is that the pellet smacked the lip of the can obliquely (I put cans so that their circular end faces me), so that it bounced back at an angle. I never thought it could come back all the way. I was using 6 pumps for the steel cans, but for one shot I inadvertently pumped 9 times. It still seems odd.

Any ideas why this happened?

Im looking to make room and raise funds for new Field Target Rig so ive decided to move on my BR rig as it doesn't see much use these days. It is an FX Maverick multiple calibers with both .25 and .30 barrels (both have carbon fire sleeves fitted) plus magazines and probes (.25 cal also has an extra eagle vision magazine,) accutac FC-4 bipod, element optics helix scope, scope paralax wheel, 700cc alsafe carbon cylinder, (original aluminum 400cc cylinder will be included) Sabre tactical bag rider, Donny FL moderator, and a Plano hard case.

Some slight burring on the .25 barrel where it slipped in the vise as i was installing the carbon barrel sleeve (see last pic), purely cosmetic, does not affect performance.

Out of the box my Uragan 2 in 22 cal was supersonic with 14 to 18 grain pellets, so despite the superb integral moderator it was VERY loud. I tuned it down to about 700 fps last fall for indoor shooting and for a high shot count with exceptional accuracy from several pellet choices, but the warmer weather is here so I upped the pressure with exactly a half turn on the regulator to give 1013 fps with the JSB 18.x grains Accuracy was not as good as the lower velocity, but still pretty decent. I am anxious to try it at 50 and 100 yards this week.

I wouldn't mind slightly higher velocity, but it is such a pain to change the reg, plus I am getting close to the sound barrier. Changing the hammer spring doesn't do much on this gun so I haven't played with it yet. I tend to keep messing with stuff when sometimes I should stop. I don't shoot the JSB pellets very much so I am not familiar with how fast they can be pushed. Is 1036 fps getting close to max for best accuracy from what you guys have seen? I definitely don't want to go supersonic but would be OK with slightly higher or lower velocity. Should I just call it good and be lazy? The first group is 20 shots JSB 18.x gr from a rest, Sightron 50x scope at 15 yards, indoors at 715 fps avg. The best shooting airgun I own so far. The next group is the same pellet, 10 shots at 15 yards at 1013 fps avg, also indoors.

Friday, I had three guests that are avid powder burners over for a day of airgun experiences. Everything was set-up for them to each rotate through twelve different precision tuned rifles, starting with a Weihrauch 97 and 98, a Beeman R9 in .20, progressing to a Scott Schneider tuned .22 AA S410 (which they each shot an autographed souvenir target with), a Charlie Frear power tuned .22 Kalibrgun Cricket long, a .22 Daystate Wolverine, a .22 Brocock Commander XR, a .22 RAW HM1000X Chassis, a .25 Daystate Wolverine Forester, a .25 RAW HM1000X-LRT (pre Air Force), and a .25 SKOUT. Then they get to the Panthera 700 MM shooting the ZEN 33 grain slugs - and the response is "WOW." While huge and heavy proportionally, it is quite simply in a different performance class.

I love them all, but if I am bench shooting and the wind comes up, there is simply no other logical choice......

BTW- I think I made a at least one, if not two converts, over to the good side!

The nut shell version, if you own Apple products there is a VERY important update for your Macs, kernel level flaws are fixed, also flaws in the iOS of iPads, iPhones and iWatches. More here.. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/202...ted-security-bugs/?comments=1&comments-page=1

My source was a very high level security guy that use to work for Apple, I guess is his friends still left there warned him about it.

At least they haven' broken Strelok Pro...yet.

I'm wondering if the fixes will protect against the FX Borg, I tend to doubt it.

I inadvertently posted a thread that may have been interpreted as a political statement. MEA CULPA.
Completely a non thinking post. However true it might be.

Have a member who wishes to purchase an air rifle form me who resides in New Jersey. The airgun in question would violate legality in New Jersey. The member has expressed the desire to meet me in NY and buy from me direct so I would not have to ship it there. does this render me free of legal issues? The member is fairly new but seems to be building a good reputation. This is actually a rhetorical question, I've sort of already decided, but want forum input. Even if this person had a FAC or jersey's equivalent. They would still be breaking the law the moment they drove back over the bridge.

Hope all are well. I am wanting to add weights to my rifle. I have seen some use a scope ring with a round steel bar. Or just getting those prs type Mlok weights. I don’t mind making something just don’t weld or have a drill press. What have y’all made? What could I use? I appreciate y’all.

I saw the following on a Dutch airgun site . Was this already discussed here? ( could not find such ).

Getting into air guns. Wanting a weihrauch preferably in 22. Uses would be mainly target shooting on the front porch. And some small game hunting. Squirrel, chipmunks, pest birds and maybe the occasional coon.

Which model will give me the most enjoyable shooting experience. Maybe the most forgiving in new pellet shooters hands.

I heard on the news that the Titan Submarine that was exploring the Titanic was made of Carbon Fiber and they warned against using that material because micro cracks would be exacerbated by the frequent pressure changes, so the more the sub was used, the more potential for catastrophic failure. The pressure at 12,500 feet below sea level is about 370 to 380bar, so this is very much in the range that we are playing with.

This would lead one to believe that the CF bottle is a little like a balloon that gets weaker the more it is inflated, so if you have a very regular shooter that is filling many times a day, this would exacerbate this problem and there may be failure before the expiration date on the bottle.

What are your thoughts??
