I was fortunate enough to pick up the JW80MK2 .22 thumbhole walnut recently from AOA. The day after, I called AOA with the intent to purchase a used scope and found out there is another JW that came in a large collection that was recently purchased. Darren confirms it is a Silvertop and looks new with the exception of the minor safe handling mark or two. I had zero intent of buying another nor did Darren intend to sell it at that specific time but we worked out a win-win agreement. Love it when that happens!

There is nothing fast about these rigs or the shooting experience. 3 cocking strokes that require focus and time, open sidelever to bring back the bolt for direct single pellet loading… The Leupold scope tolerances are supremely tight and are slow turning. The Silver Top got a Leupold 36X BR Silver up top and an uncanny natural POA is required to acquire targets while in a seated FT position, it takes time to adjust the AO to fine tune focus (locking ring optional) , then superimpose the thinnest crosshairs I’ve ever seen over the POA…It takes time; that’s not a complaint, it simply is what it is.

Enough words, some images:







I’m grateful beyond belief to own these two bespoke, hand-made rifles by the late John Whiscombe. I like how I enter a certain mindset where I’m required to focus on the moment; to marvel and appreciate every detail and procedure involved in the multi-step shooting process.

Below is an in-depth Test Report penned by Pete Reiff “The Whiscombe JW-80 FB MK II” (link here: https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/31607584/jw80mk2-us-airgunreviewpdf-whiscombe):





Thanks for looking, and special thanks to AOA for coming through with these epic beauties!

Trying to slow down…and enjoy

I am currently having issues with my new AEA HP SS .25, and the gun does not semi. To fire the weapon, I have to set the bolt continuously; on top of this, the Mag does not feed the rounds. Has anybody else had this issue? I hope it is a human error because I don't want to part ways and wait, even though the pellet shop sent it in one day.

( It is not the pellet shop's fault the retailer sells them, so I'm not upset with them. )

Hello everyone

Most people think that the Caveman created Petroglyphs of animals as a form of art, but they would be wrong. The real reason was when they got snowed in for the Winter they drew various animals on the cave walls to throw their hatches and chunk they spears at for Target Practice , think about it

How many owners of HW50's didn't like the OEM shot cycle and elected to:

1. Replace the OEM spring/guide with an aftermarket kit?

2. Clip, close and polish the factory spring ends instead of installing a kit?

How many left their HW50 alone (OEM)?

I know a kit improves the shot cycle, but was the shot cycle with OEM parts really that unpleasant?

I talked a friend in his late 70's out of a box store gun/scope combo and into letting me order him a new 50S and Hawke Airmax scope. Now I feel guilty I spent six hundred of his dollars. I want him to be really, really happy and am considering ordering an ARH kit now and secretly installing it in the gun before handing it over to him.

How many here think I should?

Looking for a Fx wildcat mk2/3 compact in .22

Bottle or tube

Thanks

I have researched that these 2 guns keep showing up in the top 2 , I selected these two as I'm intrigued with the underlever concept keeping the barrel aligned. Also, where did the HW 77 go? was it inferior? Discontinued? Or significantly less powerful than the HW97?

Any like minded novice type peeps in central Oklahoma interested In prairie dog shooting?
Would like to meet and make some friends I have some good ground

Disassembling my Rattler .357

I’ve unscrewed the barrel, removed the shroud, and removed the shell around the LDC.

I want to clean and scope the barrel and then polish if necessary.

My question- I tried unscrewing and it didn’t budge slightly. Before I try cranking down I’d like to ask… Does the barrel unscrew from the LDC double threaded segment segment? (Also appears there’s a bluish substance around what looks like threading…?)





Bonus question-

Does this knurled cap unscrew from the cylinder. I assumed it does but it feels super solid


I’m concerned I’m gonna break something and given the price of a Rattler… I’d like to avoid it.

As always, AGN thank you for your advice!

Just received my 177 Prophet 2 today from Talon Tunes. Thx Tony! Came with the reg set at 150 bar. At that setting will push a 13gr JSB to only 850fps and a 10gr to 915fps. I increased the reg to 170bar and only 885ish with a 13gr ZAN. Seems not alot of speed with such a high reg pressure. Is this normal? I purchased this rifle to shoot 177 slugs as the new valve was supposed to put out big power with lower reg pressures. The Priest 2 I had would easily push a 13gr slug into the mid 900's with a lower reg pressure. Not sure if there's a problem with the gun or this is normal??? Any info would help.
Thx!

Anybody got an extra Thomas they want to sell? Looking for a benchrest model.

A simple video for guys that are new to the delta wolf / Alpha wolf programming. It was confusing to me at first well I think I am closer with kind of step by step process of tuning this beast. So I know this is not 100% accurate but to put it in a rough box to get some basic foundations to a tune without going crazy.

Asking $200 shipped. Comes with sun shade, and flip up covers too.

Recomendations on looking for a used Scuba Tank? I have seen a few on FB Market place. Just curious if and what I should be looking for?

Do you guys use the larger 80 cu.ft. SCUBA Tank or do you go with a smaller one? Do you go to a dive shop to fill it out or do you have your own compressor?

Hi all. I am looking for information in order to sell some air rifles that belong to my father. He has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and isn’t able to give me any information about them or values. One of them I am looking to value and sell is an Air-Arms Pro Elite with a scope. Husband believes it is walnut stock. Not finding much about it online. Anyone familiar with the brand and today’s market value? TIA.

So looking for advice in asking questions for buying a used PCP. I'd like to get into the sport and get a used PCP Air rifle for plinking in the back yard. What sorts of questions should I be thinking about when looking for a used PCP Air Rifle?

Can you respond with a list of questions or considerations that one should consider? I'll update the main post so that anyone else in the same boat can see.

Hello AGN:

I am looking to sell an OldSpook 3D Printed LDC / Moderator w/ Carbon Fiber Shell w/ 1/2 UNF x 20 threads. This moderator has a 0.25 caliber opening so it will work for all calibers smaller than 0.25 (including 0.22 and 0.177). This is a great looking mod with the carbon fiber finish and it works very well for it's small (4 1/2" x 1 1/8") size! Price is $85 shipped.

I've got plenty of positive feedback here so please feel free to check them on the Member Feedback forum prior to purchasing. Paypal Friends & Family payment is prefered (otherwise, please add 3.5% to cover the fees). Local pickup in the SF Bay Area is available as well.

Thanks!

Compliments of @ThomasT , I've got a new personal challenge for basement winter fun. This is my first serious attempt at 6 yards with my HW44 177 cal. I'm shooting H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 gn (new line of pellets) which rumor has it were developed for the Luther Walther barrel and perhaps the Weihrach specifically. Who knows, but they are precision pellets out of the pistol.

I ordered a kit Vortek (PG4) to try with a new piston seal for my TX200. Kit has a light spring tar/grease with it. There is no moly type grease.

Should I order a separate grease as well to use on other than the spring? Will white lithium grease work? I have this?

Not what you think. My new Yong Heng compressor should be arriving in a few hours. All things being equal, and if the Amazon driver can make it
up our driveway. Still have a lot of ice out there. The Road grader just passed by and you cannot tell it was there. Not good.

Enough prattle. My question. What videos can you recommend for set up? I have noticed that almost everyone who gets one, recommends watching a video because
the instructions are somewhat lacking in detail.
If you were setting one up all over again, what would you do different? I have a small mud room just inside the back door, which is adjacent to the shooting bench. It has
a nice cement floor, plenty of artificial light, lots of power outlets, and is far enough away the remainder of the house as not to bother.
What else.
Don't forget the video recommends, I need something to do while I wait.

Thanks gang!
Doc

Did the trap get the better of the raccoon or did the raccoon win out? At the minimum the coon got a sore paw and tail.
