There is something to be said of just needing an airgun (springer) and a tin of pellets to shoot.....

Pest control although my outside cats enjoyed them.Do you eat them or is this for general pest control?
The leather is just held on with velcro, on my MkII I spent a little more time and laced it onRevin,
Beauty shootin’! I like what you did with the leather on the bottle. It always freaked me out to rest the unprotected bottle on something whilst shooting. I use these on my bottle guns.

Work like a charm protecting the bottle and the softness helps reduce movement while shooting of a rest.

That’s it in the picture.
This may be late, but I reseal Skanakers and their cylinders. Peter Hoppe 305-332-9071 [email protected]I have a Skanaker that I purchased new from Crosman. I don't have any of the seals for it anymore and would really like to have someone look it over. I'd heard that Tom Slocum is the man to talk to. Does anyone know how he can be contacted?

Well if it’s the black and white bald faced hornets, know that I am afraid, very afraid.
You can get it out with a small pointy tool. Ie a toothpick or a needle should do the trick. It just lays on top so not difficult to remove.What's the best way to remove the tiny "washer" under the grub screw air release on the rear of the stock (tube stock). Small leak there and Brian provide me with the tiny delrin washer but I'm not really sure how to remove the one that's there now. Hopefully the new one will just drop in straight to improve the 3 bar/24 hr leak.
If the seals give out, I reseal them. Peter hoppe 305-332-9071 [email protected]I was lucky and found this Crosman Model 88 (the Skanaker) for sale late last year. Today it was time to pull it out of its case, give it some long awaited TLC, fill up the Co2 cylinder and cross the fingers for the seals to keep up to their task. And lucky day they did! 28 years after the pistol was used last time!

I can't speak for the 1'' Frontier line (must be old version) but I have several 30mm Frontier scopes and they have reasonably flexible eye boxes (unless you're at maximum magnification).I have two Frontier scopes, both 1" tubes, a 4-20x44 and a 3-15x44. Look like same scope size & weight etc. They have great lenses and mechanics. My only gripe is the eye box on both is super critical. There is almost zero tolerance on eye relief and almost zero on side to side alignment. Needless to say parallax is no an issue at all. As long as the view is even half clear you're OK. I seem to remember a Sidewinder 6.5-20 I had that was super critical also.
My question is...are all Frontier ( and Sidewinder) this way? Anyone have a 30mm version?
I like these scopes and have no plans to get rid of them but I'd like to have a bit more forgiving 4-16x scope w/ lighted reticle. Any suggestions?
