Totally changed the look and feel of my M3 Compact!

My stepson gave me this AEA HP Carbine in .25 cal to repair, tune and sell. It has some light scuffs but, as you can see in the linked video, is fully functional. It comes with 2 magazines, fill probe, DonnyFL adapter, magnetic stock catch, 2 spare valve pins and one spare bolt/probe. It's held air for 4 days, so no leaks. I'm asking $475 $425 shipped to the lower 48 states, payment via PayPal F&F. Sorry, no trades. Here's a video of it running a full magazine:

I am and have always been a rimfire guy for gophers and other rodents. I have wanting something for backyard target practice that will be somewhat quiet. We also have serious urban issue of gophers where rimfires just wpuldn't be allowed but I could get away with some air rifle shooting at certain locations. I watched a video on the impact m3 and it seems pretty top notch. Is that thing overkill foe what my purposes? Any other options?

Home from the NC show . Was a great time there, glad i went . Nice to meet some people on here face to face defiantly going next year .

Hi,
Could you share what are your best results shooting JSB Knock outs at 100 m?
.216, .217, .218 or .216MKII?
Barrel type: STX Superior or Heavy?
Slug speed?

I have been super frustrated with my new HW 95 .177 cal. I tried all the usual pellets that shoot best in my other HW rifles, No luck. I could not get it to shoot acceptable. After about 1000 high-quality soft lead pellets, I decided what if I got to lose. I cleaned all the soft lead residue out of the bore and tried crossman premier 7.9’s That’s more like it. This is 10 shots at 50 yards with Iron sights. Aside from that one flyer that’s about as good as I have done.

I am Brand new to the web site and new to airguns so please be kind

I got a P35 in 177 (and 22) in June of this year and have enjoyed figuring out what pellets it likes and making other adjustments. I've mainly been using H&N 10.65 grain pellets including the copper plated "Power", the Barracuda, and the Barracuda Match in both 4.5 and 4.52 head size. I initially noticed the Power shot better than the 4.52 Match I had on hand and wondered if it was the 4.5 head size of the Power. A tin of 4.5 Baracuda seemed to confirm that.

Then I noticed a tin of Crosman 10.5 grain in my collection and tried them, not expecting much. To my surprise they shot as well as the H&Ns. I shot a 184 with this gun on the 30 yard challenge with both the H&N Baracuda Match and the Crosman 10.5s. Since the Crosmans were so much cheaper I got a couple more tins. They don't shoot even close to the same. Why? Suspecting head size, I ordered a PelletGauge. It arrived yesterday and I started testing.

I had 18 from the "Good Tin" of Crosmans left to test. So I tested those and a sample of 20 pellets of several other types:

Good Crosmans were between 4.55 and 4.51 with most pellets at 4.54
First tin of bad Crosmans ranged from 4.55 to 4.46 (the full range of the gauge) with 4.54 and 4.52 being the most common
Second tin of bad Crosmans also had the full range of sizes with 4.51 and 4.46 the most common

Based upon these results I decided there was indeed a head size difference in the Crosman tins. I decided to test the other types I had been shooting.

Baracudas were 4.54 to 4.5 with the highest quantity 4.52.

Baracuda Power were 4.52 to 4.49 with the greatest quantity at 4.51

I opened a tin of Baracuda Match 4.5s I have not shot and they measured 4.5 to 4.46 with 4.5s the most common.

Baracuda Match 4.52s were all 4.53 to 4.51 with 4.52 the most common.

The similarity of the Match 4.52s to the others I thought shot better caused me to retest accuracy and I found they shoot well at this point. I am not sure if the gun has gotten broken in or my previous testing was bad.

Then I took the tin of Crosmans with the most 4.46 head size pellets and sorted out 10+ for a couple more groups. They were bad, well over an inch at 100 feet (which I used for all the accuracy testing). So it seems my gun does not like small head size.

Then I sorted the rest of that tin of nearly 500 pellets. I got usable quantities of all 10 head sizes of the gauge. Today I shot those. I won't go into the same gory detail on that exercise but it seems my gun likes 4.49 through at least 4.54 head size pretty well. I got 5 shot groups around 1/2 inch with all those sizes. 4.55 was not as bad as the small sizes but was a bit bigger. My little 20 pellet samples did not find 4.55 head sizes except in the Crosmans. Crosman Match pellets were more consistent in head size but the tendency of the 4.5s to trend toward the small end of the head size range for the outliers will probably cause me to use the 4.52s going forward. Or just stick with the slightly cheaper Baracudas. Their range of head size is bigger but they had nothing in the problematic small range. Given the variability in pellets, it is probably safer to pay slightly more to get the 4.52s.

Saw these shifty bastages while I happened to have my Atomic XR set up for a plinking session. A bad coincidence for them, two MILS of holdover, sending Crosman Premier Domes, TP on high, scope at 12x, IR on. The wind from the north sub 5 mph. Went four for four on my first try. Missed twice on my second go round. But capped the evening by going five for five, finishing up with that piece of chalk (chippers head). I’m typically sniping targets the size of the chalk and black walnut husk pictured. So those rats really had no chance.

Those of you who collect airguns, what are your standards for condition? NIB / 95%, rarities?
I look at for sale guns on the classifieds & hope to learn what you who are collectors look for.

I am temped to try it on this hunting season.

I'm looking for a scope for my Leshiy Classic. Most of the shooting I do with it is standing, unsupported. I'd like one that is small, low-powered (preferably variable power) and has a) parallax adjustment to 10 yards; and b) long eye relief. Like 5" or so of eye relief. I'm having trouble finding a scope that meets those criteria. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Looking "airgun friendly" vacation rental where I can shoot up to 600+ yards on the property in California.

I've ruled out BLM land to practice long range shooting. Now looking for a vacation rental property in Northern or Central California that allows airgun target shooting up to 600 yards. Most likely a property of around 5 to 10 acres. Does not have to be a 5 star rating, just something nice and comfortable for me and my wife. I target shoot all day and my wife enjoys what is available in the area. (shopping)

Does a place I describe exist?

I've got a Riton X-1 Conquer and a Cabela's Covenant 4 4-16x44 scope. Both are SFP. I have the box for both

Both scopes are in great condition without marks of issues. I have linked the descriptions below. While not 100% certain I believe the Cabela's Covenant Tactical scopes are made the same place as the Vortex Diamondbacks. If you search I think you will come to the same conclusion.

I am looking for a lightweight scope in the 3-12 power range. It can NOT have a duplex reticle (or single aiming point) this is my only criteria.
I am also looking for a small moderator 1/2-20 for an under 20fpe .22 caliber rifle.

I will sell either of the scopes for $150 plus whatever shipping is from 21009. PP F&F or Venmo or Money Order please.

I also have a LW .30 barrel from an RTI Priest and 2 .30 Priest mags if anyone is interested in those. SOLD

A few times over the last couple of weeks, I have gone out into my backyard to find my birdfeeders lying on the ground, having been lifted off their hooks and dropped, and sometimes dragged off. In my yard, I have seen squirrels, rats, crows, stellar jays, and the occasional raccoon. While the fact that they are lifted up off of hooks and dropped suggests something larger, like a raccoon, that's the one I see the least of all the critters. While I am sure that the crows, rats, and squirrels are likely smart enough to figure something out, I am not sure they are strong enough to lift tube feeders. Who's your money on? Whoever it is, I'd like to start discouraging their presence at my feeders.
Thanks,
Chris

Minty and boxed. I dont know much about these but my buddy won’t let me sell it to anyone but him and I don’t know how to delete this altogether . So feel free to tell me about it. I am somewhat familiar with the 801 and don’t see too much of a difference besides the interchangeable barrels.

Watching an old TV show last night.

First guy - "How many guns do you have ?"
Second guy - "About ten."
First guy - "Do you have the serial numbers written down anywhere ?"
Second guy - "Yes, I do ."

I don't have the serial numbers of my air guns, written anywhere. Photos of all of them, Some photos show the serial numbers, but no details written on paper.
Do any of you keep written, recorded info on your air guns ?

I did when I had firearms, but "so far" not the air guns.
Maybe it might not be a bad idea !?
