Looking as title says for purchase or trade.

I picked up a Crown last month, my first new airgun in several years. I've owned maybe 10 different airguns over the years, multipump, springers, and a few PCP. So I'm not new to airguns.

I was switching between the standard barrel liner and heavy slug liner when I realized everything inside the shroud was coated in ultra fine silverish dust - lead. It came off on my fingers. I had a few hundred rounds at most. I was testing samples of various FX, H&N, NSA, JSB pellets and slugs. It was hard to not get it on everything, which of course means over time it will get into my body. I have enough health hazards I don't need lead poisoning.

I've never witnessed that much lead dust in my life before - and I need to stop it now - any suggestions where to begin? Is one of those brands known for being dirty?

Shooting chrony blue version. Comes with thick plexiglass to protect the screens. Runs off a 9v battery. Works great and in excellent condition.

$90 shipped in the lower 48 states.

I’ve mounted a Hawke Airmax on my GAMO Bone Collector, but I’ve ran out of room on the front end and now I can’t break the barrel and I can’t slide the scope back any further.

Can anyone give me some ideas on what to do?

Two Great White 95 cu ft tanks are full of air.

Awaiting Utah Airguns to ship the Panthera .22 700mm rifle and Accu-Tac bipod ordered approximately three weeks ago.

Should be a project that provides many hours of work release pleasure.

Will share what I learn as I experience it in real and true terms.

Over the last few days I have shot two groups each with my “best” pcps to have something to compare the results to and determine if the investment is really up to the hype.

Also, intend to start out with it set up exactly like they were on the promotional videos to see how close what was portrayed is what we can expect once purchased by us mere mortals.

Stay tuned!

Traded my Uragan for this Eotech weapon sight since the huben as far as my needs and wants go took the uragans place regardless of how well it shot.

AIRGUN USE ONLY!!?!

A month ago, I got my first PCP, and now I can't stop myself from looking for my next one Is this common??!! I decided I was at the time in my life that I could get exactly what I wanted, and not worry (too much) about cost, so I went strait to a high-end PCP - FX Maverick compact in .25. Holy Cow! It's a shooter, and hits really hard! Tony at TalonTunes was an absolute pleasure to work with, and made the experience fantastic! Can't say enough about him! And, I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the Maverick!

But, lately I find myself searching for my next gun - this wasn't supposed to happen - My justification is (after reading some scary threads about FX), if my current gun goes down, I need another reliable gun while it's getting repaired. So "reliable" is high on my list (although, I guess redundancy = reliability)

Most people seem to think the Eastern European guns are reliable. So, I've been looking at Tiapan, Edgun, AGT, Kaliber, etc... I find myself drawn to "the most power in the smallest package" which ends up being another Bullpup. They are very tempting, but do I need another gun so similar to my first?

Also, I've always been drawn and love the looks of classic lines like AA S510 Ultimate Sporter, FX Dreamline Classic, Daystate Huntsman. But, most "classic" rifles are just too bulky and long for my taste. Except for the Daystate Huntsman. To me, it is absolutely gorgeous, and from what I've read it's light and handy - the perfect hunter/shooter. The "safari" really has all the elements for me - cheek riser and ambi (my son is a lefty) - not sure about the raised grain finish, though. I've not seen either finish in person, so I really don't know. Is the Daystate considered to be as reliable as the Eastern European guns?

I guess I have a third option... stop looking for a second gun and just enjoy and shoot the one I got! That's what my practical-side tells me.

I'm hovering over the "Add to Cart" button for Daystate Huntsman Safari - tell me why I shouldn't do it

I know a lot of people are scared to bump their barrels in fear of a POI shift. However I did some testing today with my .30 Maverick and even after grabbing the gun by the end of the barrel and shaking it violently in between shots it still held it's POI Grouping. Mods done recently include epoxying the carbon sleeve to the liner, installing a bullet central tensioning kit, and installing a black arts design bottle/barrel band. I think the barrel band definitely has the largest impact. This is a very good quality product and the owner even sent me an extra fastener after I dropped one and lost it. Now I'm not so worried about POI shifts day to day or after I bump into something. Just thought I would share.

HFT 500 in excellent condition! Includes like new hard shell case, manual and fill probe. Scope NOT included. $1500. Please contact me for shipping quote if interested. Serious inquiries only. PayPal payment only (add 3.5%)

Like new! Selling this for my father. He purchased it and never shot it. I just test fired and it’s extremely accurate. These are great rifles, and hard to find. $500 plus insured shipping to your location within CONUS. PayPal payments only (add 3.5%)

While tuning my trigger I got it too light to cock properly so I ended up shooting 2 pellets at once a few times.

I actually like it!
First pellet hits about POA and second about 0.75 inch below at about 8 yards. This means theoretically I could deliver a headshot and possible vital shot at the same time at 15 yards if the second drops another 0.75inch or so. This would be devastating on a squirrel.

Thoughts?

I have a Thomas Benchrest gun for sale. The gun is in perfect condition. Shoots very well. See card supplied.
It has a 1 in 18 Walther Poly barrel and is set to shoot HV class. Although it can be set for either LV or Open class too.
The cost is $2800 Paypal. Shipping arrangements can be handled separately if necessary.
Thanks for looking,

Mark

I currently on a pre-order for a .30 barrel for the Wolf, but while I wait I thought I'd ask. For those using them, or have had the chance to try both, has anyone had better accuracy at 100 yards with either the .25 or .30 calibers? Pellets or slugs, and what weight/diameter? This is primarily for target shooting.

I've got a 1322 tricked out flat top piston/valve, larger air port, heavy hammer spring, steel breach, 16" barrel and a Williams rear sight. Also comes with the butt stock.
Now all you need to do is get it some pretty furniture.
I'm looking to get 125.00 PayPal fees are on the buyer

Long story short; neighbors suck and I am no longer allowed to "shoot my bb guns outside"*edit; I was previously allowed *
Many possibilities have flown through my mind as what my next approach should be at still getting my plinking time in. SO! I did my research and the law clearly states that I am still allowed to "shoot my bb guns" inside my house oooor see attached picture plan being I have made pellet traps that will stop any of my highest fps slinger pellets in their tracks even at point blank range set those puppies up in my shed and lead up some barrels that need itwhat says yall? *will be setting sething up inside soon too‍♂ venting over.
Thank you all for being here

I’m considering going. The only thing that causes reservations. As I’m not a PRS shooter. It looks like most of the events are catered to PRS style shooting. I would’ve liked to seen a 50 yard and/or Extreme field target events.

Original post Edited: was just between Vulcan 3 or Huben K1.....Now adding Sidewinder/Rattler to the option

NEW: Sidewinder, Vulcan3 or Huben K1? which would you pick If you had to choose only 1 and why?

Always a project going on....

I built a Work Shop in my basement (first idea was a small room that I could installed for sound and be able to run my compressor to fill tanks), but it turned out I built it a bit bigger so I could have a place to keep all my airgunning in one spot.

If there is one thing I'm good at its taking a simple project and turning it into a long drawn out overly complicated project..... Yeah, it happens. (Yes, that is indeed a Mini Fridge built into the Wall Below the TV. Also Yes, it does have a Hatchet Embedded into the Front of it to act as a Handle to Open it) See, I even Over Complicate the task of keeping beer cold. (Don't get me started on the Dart Board.... It May or May not have a Wall Safe Behind it that is revealed when Pushing a Secret Button that Lowers/Raises it using a Electronic Linear Actuator)

I acquired an old school teachers desk, but wanted it to be standing/bar stool height so I fabricated some brackets and secured them to the concrete wall to give the desk the perfect height. (My wife said, why didn't you just buy a taller desk?) Well, that would be too simple and what fun is that??

After the desk was installed I was happy with it, but didn't really like the top.... So instead of getting some old barn wood that I had and building a top I decided to over complicate it and try my hand at Epoxy Resin (never used it before, but hey it looked like fun).

3 Cedar Planks, 1 Torch, and 3 Hours later I had my first bit of material ready to start. After mapping out how I wanted them to lay I built a form out of Melamine Board and secured the planks down so they wouldn't float when pouring the Epoxy. Easy enough.

After this point I realized that I hadn't order the Epoxy yet... I busted out my calculator and started figuring out how much I would need... Hmmm that can't be right? Over 10 Gallons? Yup, 10+ Gallons and that would cost about $1,000.

Plan B: Fish Tank Gravel
I poured a think layer of Epoxy at the bottom of the mold and added about 1" of Black Fish Tank Gravel mixed with a Tinted Epoxy. They brought me down to around 4 Gallons of Epoxy needed for the project which was better than 10 haha.

Plan C: Projectiles
Now that I had saved some money on the Epoxy my brain was like let's throw in a few thousand Pellets and Slugs to make up the difference... (Miller Lite makes you do crazy things at 2am)

List of Things Added into the Top:
Imbedded Decals, Allen Key (the one that fits the FX Impact Regulator aka The One I Always Lose! Well now it's permanently in my table so I'll always know where it is), DonnyFL Moderator Tube, JSB .30 Hades Pellet Tin (My All Time Favorite Squirrel Hunting Pellet), and a ton of other Slugs and Pellets

Final Note:
Epoxy is easy to pour, but don't start at 9pm because you'll be up until 4am making sure all of the bottles that rise up get popped. I don't know about you, but drinking Millers and Popping Bubbles with a Torch until 4am isn't as fun as it sounds!


Attached are some images of the Build Along the Way and a video of the Second to Last Epoxy Pour. (Can you spot the Allen Key in the Short Video?)

I have a swanky spanky new .177 Redwolf with an odd development. I was rechecking my scope to create my dope chart and all at once it began throwing pellets 5” high and following with several inches low…. It was a laser. Definitely not the scope as this wasn’t a POI shift because it acted like a valve was staying open too long or short - anybody have a idea?

Extras included as pictured. Time for it to move on to a home where it will actually get used! $2,000 shipped to the contiguous states.

Been excited to do some turning this weekend. Last weekend was freezing cold and then when it warmed up, of course the rain came. Today was nice outside.

Been wanting to finish up some knives here and finally got them done today. Still need final polish and of course sharpening. Will do kydex sheaths for some and leather for others when I get motivated to do so.

Also made the wife a cedar two tone dog whistle... Need to make a leather lanyard for it.

and made a few oak 'barrel' whisky shot glasses. Charred the inside and used walnut oil with powdered pine rosin mixed in to seal the outside.

Worked on a little bowl...

and while I was waiting on finish or glue to cure, did a little shooting at my range. ...and yes, please no discussion on the pistola. I posted it because of the scope. It's been perfect for this purpose and it's the only AO pistol scope I've found that goes to 12x. So far, it's done well. The Impact is wearing a new to me Pard and I have to say I really like it.

Awhile back I found out that my neighbor was into airgunning so I brought him over some extra stuff that I had laying around (Yong Heng Compressor, Assortment of Pellets, and a DonnyFL Tatsu). After gifting him all of this he asked if there was anyway he could repay me. I joking said, "nope, knowing that you don't have to handpump that Maurader everyday is payment enough! Haha"

From that day on we became pretty good friends and I would drop by his shop whenever I passed by and saw him out in is shop. I learned that he had been a Machinist for over 30 years and had knowledge of a lot of things that I am interested in so I would often get in trouble with my wife when 1 hour turned into 4 when I told her it was just going to be a quick 15 minute visit (she knows better lol)

One night I dropped by his shop and had an idea that he might be interested in helping me out with. I brought over a DonnyFL Emperor/Extension Tube and told him I would like to make an Over-Barrel Moderator that can incorporate a 3mm Thick Carbon tube for tension. He said, "welp, let's do it!", and later that night we had a working moderator that did the job very well on my Impact with a 700mm Barrel installed.

Fast Forward to this year, I wanted to make a lighter version of this project, but after learning and working at his shop I really wanted to have my own lathe and complete the project on my own. So, I bought a lathe and moved it into my basement workshop (still building a lathe bench so she's sitting on a dolly currently patiently waiting to make chips).

I took my original Over-Barrel Moderator and thought it needed to be lighter so I decided to use Carbon Fiber for the main tube and Aluminum for the End Caps/Internal Air Stripper on this version. After spending a night drawing out the plan and ordering the material I have to hurry and get the Lathe Bench built so when it all gets here I'll be ready to start!


So long story short:

This upcoming Squirrel Season will be an FX Crown fitted with a Custom 475mm Gold Barrel, 3mm Carbon Tension Sleeve, and Carbon Fiber Over-Barrel Moderator.
