Well I got my .22 Panthera today and a few screws were a little loose. So I tightended a couple and came to the screw #15 that runs through the pic rail and tightened it a bit as it didn't have any resistance on it at all. Then it fell into the gun as I tunre dit in too far. Now I gotta pull some stuff off to get it out. What purpose does this screw do and why would it be loose and then when tightened why would it drop into the airgun?

pls help provide some insight

I was just wondering the calibers of airguns are in your collection. I know tye majority of have several gun's. Because it's addictive.

Hey folks. I'm an airgun enthusiast who has very little shooting experience, and an airgun forum enthusiast who has logged onto AGN every day for three and a half years. I've read with interest stories regarding airgun competitions and which brand of rifle was used by those that took the top spots. Often stated is the question of whether it was the "arrow or the Indian." This got me to wondering how those variables could be accounted for in a competition between top shooters. Please forgive my naivete and let me know if you think my idea has any merit at all. Here goes. I propose a competion of five to 10 competitors shooting rifles at 100 yards, each using the same rifle. Shooters to be chosen from among the high finishers at current large events. Invite all manufacturers to submit one stock rifle, tuned by someone in their company to shoot the projectile of their choice. Maybe have the same scope on each rifle, and also let each manufacturer glean/sort enough projectiles to fully cover sight-ins and competion shooting. Allow each shooter enough time/shots to familiarize themselves with the platform, then on to competition shooting. Repeat for each brand of rifle. I'm sure there are a host of reasons that this idea won't work, but I'm curious what this community thinks. How to score such an event is way above my pay grade, but I would be interested to see who would prevail and which rifle posted the overall highest score. Maybe AGN could sponsor? Also, any attempts to name such a shooting event the Balver Cup are pure conjecture.

I was sitting in the basement watching Bonanaza and this tiny mouse came out of the laundry room. I happened to be sitting next to a table top covered with SSP P17 varieties of pistols. He went back into the laundry room, so I loaded an cocked my newest P17. I didn't expect him to be around when I turned on the lights, but there he was by some spring traps across the room. He was turned toward me when I fired...

I knocked him a foot and he looked dead...
A few minutes later, he

was gone... what a vampire mouse. I was sending pictures to my GF about how good of a shot I am and he's nowhere to be seen.

I lgot to thinking so I looked under the dryer and there he was with a huge hole in his side. He must have revived for a last few inches of travel

Aluminum with steel backing plate pellet trap, aka "Big Bang Pellet Trap". Fabricated by a forum member's friend, and sold a bunch to forum members here.

I've got too many other hobbies and stuff going on so am getting out of air gunning, for now anyway, and need to sell this pellet trap.

I've only shot a few tins of pellets at it, and had it set up with 3/4" horse stall mat fastened to the front (see pic), and it worked great to drop the velocity. There's no damage at all to the steel backing plate.

Hi All

I have a Gamo Urban .22
Filled to about 4,000 psi

The gun won’t fire with any air.

The trigger works and firing bolt move to the correct position - after pulling trigger but there is no loud boom and no pressure from the air portion of the gun

Any ideas?

Not new to shooting, but pretty new to air guns. I am looking to buy a Seneca dragonfly m2 because of all the positive reviews and YouTube videos. The only pump pellet gun I have now is a Crossman 2100. It’s a nice accurate gun, but at 70, pumping it up is a pain. From what I can tell the Seneca is much easier, has a threaded barrel for a moderator and much easier to mount a scope. I will be buying a .22 for the a couple of reasons, much better for the occasional squirrel or woodchuck I want to kill, and it’s just way easier picking up and loading the larger .22 pellets.
I have not seen any negative reviews of this gun, but would it be a good choice for backyard plinking and occasional hunting?
I do not want to go down the rabbit hole of pcp, I would just as soon save the extra money for good pellets, good scope, and moderator.

Have used break barrels for a very longtime.
Decided I would go ahead and test the waters and buy the Hatsan Flash QE PCP air rifle .25 caliber.
Figured it was a small air tank purchased the hand pump and some ammo.
Only to find that it's not holding the air it's been a very unpleasant experience and has made me feel that these guns are not that great.
I've heard valve open needs a push of air from a tank ridiculous that is even necessary. This isn't a realistic way to get a new air gun working out of the box.
Sucks I really was happy about the purchase now it's going back. I'll stick with break barrels they actually work out of the box.

Wondering if anyone else has had same negative experience with these over priced guns? Funny reviewers praise these things because they have everything needed to set them up. For the average person these guns are quite terrible. Between the over priced junk hand pumps or buy a $2000 scuba tank to get them to work if they arrive with 0 pressure.

It’s always about this time of year that my more northern friends begin to whine about things / weather interfering with their passion for field target.
Time to move South my friends!
Mobile Alabama or Pensacola Fl need more year round Ft / airgun shooters!

Is there a competitive scope that's under 1k (new) for WFTF?

just won two bets on ebay. the 392 is same one I had In 1992. I'm excited. hopefully it gets here safe.

In my quest to find the perfectly balanced, lightweight air gun and after going through 20 high end Airguns, I’ve come to a personal conclusion - I prefer an air bottle style rifle to an air tube style. This is becoming more and more obvious by the remaining guns in my collection AND which ones get used the most AND my HFT match scores.

Why?

Weight distribution on an air bottle style rifle tends to keep the center of gravity lower, thus the rifle is less tippy once scoped.

I’ve never thought about how to measure tippyness, and this is only a problem when your horizontal holding axis is canted, but it is most definitely a thing.

I love me a sweet air tube rig; up until I’m standing or kneeling and that’s when the struggle begins as body mechanics and hold becomes absolutely critical. That said I also noticed this tippyness when using my Primos Trigger sticks as I had to readjust the head rest back to vertical much more often.

Anyone else notice this?

I had very difficult work schedules the entire summer, last time I visited my gun club BR back somewhere in June. These two 14 liter scba tanks were sitting the entire time fully top up.
Somewhere in mid August I wanted to use the right tank (with sticker on it), the seal under the valve knob broke. Fine, I put it aside and used the left tank couple of times. Today I wanted to refill my Leshiy2 and this valve knob seal broke as well. So ended up with two fully charged tanks now, and speculating there is no other way around but degass. Measured the pressure and with a leak there is still about 260 bars in each, or perhaps more.
I still have one 9 liter Acecare as a spare for case of emergency .



The tank on the left side I replaced the scba to DIN valve somewhere in 2019-20, and I still have one valve BNIB.



I am just looking at these valves in a bag, I don't see a way how could I open them to re-seal, hypothetically if I could find orings for these...
Tinkering now to order two new - better quality valves, or just buy one new 9 liter Acecare again ???
With a single 9 liter tank a bench rest tethering is a little bit on the modest side, but two tanks may put me back in the game with full capacity.

This post is for all those member that wander and for all that say you need to be 400 pounds to do it.

I had filled PCPs to 250 BAR 3600 psi before easily and yet I often hear that unless you are 250 pounds it cannot be done and your body will be lifted ( I'm 145 pound )

Tried and tried to make people see the light but I always get shot down with rhetoric and often hearsay,....well today I filled the Huben pistol not once but several time to 5000 psi, my 145 pounds did just fine and to go from 180 BAR to 350 BAR 5000 psi really took no time and minimal effort.

As winter approaches new england I'm not passing up any days to shoot especially since I do about 12 hours a day the last 6 weeks of the year at work.

Peri and I are setting up as a couple fellow agn members make their way to shoot

We lefties just do not get the credit we deserve. I’m always finding gorgeous “wrong handed” springers. Let’s show the Sheep what the Shepherds use.. lol. My two favorites. HW95/HW98 both .22 caliber.
