The 853c is a rare airgun in the U.S. It was designed for the Canadian government to train their cadets. The Canadian government does not sell them after they are finished with them like our CMP does. The government destroys them. The one I just got has our CMP shipping label on it. I don’t think the CMP here used the 853c. Only the 853. Probably sent by mistake. Never used. Airgun Depot had a few 853c’s for sale once. They bought discontinued/refurbished all the time. These few are the only ones I have found floating around here in the U.S.

@fishing43 - That is a very generous gift! Brocock makes some great rifles. I am sure he is going to have some good times with it.

I have had my Brocock Ghost for almost a year now, trouble free. The only thing I have changed on mine is the grip. Simple and easy upgrade.


Have fun this weekend!

i bought a tnc225r this year for less than $1000. it is my only thermal scope, but it does pretty amazing things. Especially for under $1000.

My 853 is scoped at the moment, but a pain to load with the scope in the way.

If this 853c repeater is as accurate as my scoped 753w then I will switch receivers/stocks. I’m not holding my breath because repeaters are inherently a bit less accurate. Maybe in this case it will be different because the Daisy clip is made of rubber and does not size the pellets going through it. Would make loading the scoped model easy.

Most carriers and post offices would probably prefer tanks to be depressurized for shipment. Pressurized air tanks aren't going to pop just because they go up in a plane and the air pressure in the airplane's hold drops by 12psi compared to ground level. It' a very broad and conservative approach which covers all kinds of pressurized containment systems items, like camping stoves with propane cartridges.

Even though pressurized tanks with non-volatile and non-toxic contents should be safe from failure and leakage problems due to changes in pressure due to altitude, the ones with volatile substances can be extremely dangerous in a fire. I can't think of a situation where a pressurized and well packaged airgun would pose a physical danger during transport. Even the large 5' tall and heavy steel pressurized gas tanks are usually very safe in extreme physical conditions of outside pressure and temperature. When they fail it's usually because they fall over and physically snap the exposed valve sticking out the top. An airgun in a shipping box should be safe from physical impacts like that.

Whether pressurized or not, I also think that airguns should be shipped unloaded and with empty magazines just like firearms.

What a good and generous dad you are, and grandchildren to shoot with too…! You made my morning…

Yes but a rifle that works on nitro, air or co2 is not available anywhere else that I know of.

Definitely DNT! And, Tactical Panda has a great sale going on right now, they even have the new V2 Zulus on sale.

My eyes are at mess but I still manage some good shots. My 853 is scoped at the moment, but a pain to load with the scope in the way.

One memorable shot I had was very uncomfortable due to my eyes. It was offhand with a .22 pistol with open sights at fifty yards. The target was the little white box that my ear plugs came in. The bright white box was set against a bright green evening sunlit backdrop.
After a hand ful of misses I put on my readers and could see the sights perfectly, but the target was just a white blob that I aimed at the center of. I hit a quarter inch from dead center. I still have that little box hanging on the wall over my desk at work. Lol
I wound up scoping that pistol because the sights were so uncomfortable for my old eyes.

Very cool. You have a good eye for balance and form. I didn't know that they sold laminate planks. Where did you find the plank?

Bought it from a company in Finland. Cost me £200 with shipment & taxes to the UK. Got enough to make 3 stocks out of it as the vulcan not very big. Bigger gun you would get 2 from the plank

There is a lot of discussion here about one MOA accuracy at 100 yards. I wonder, how many of those respondents consistently shoot 1" groups at 100 yards? I'm not a high level air rifle shooter, but I've been shooting firearms and air rifles a long time and I think I've learned a bit about it. One of those bits, there are very few standard power air rifles that will meet that test, and even fewer shooters who can meet varying conditions well enough to plunk 5 shots consistently into a one inch hole at 100 yards. As Mr. Monk said, I might be wrong, but I doubt it. So, to the OP I say, don't be discouraged if you find the one MOA test at 100 yards very daunting, and be amazed if you meet it.

Interesting. I don't recall us giving Napier permission to use us as a reference or to use our logo. Especially since we do NOT recommend lubing pellets.

A little trademark infringement. Sounds like you have royalties or a lawsuit in your future.

Wow!
I check mine every so often, but have never had them loosen.

Thats a nice one, congrats!

I think one of them is the new insert but the other 4 are the old style. I leave the felt in the first chamber and the rest empty. Not even using the plastic insert in the new one.

how did you carve it?

Mostly with this. Brilliant thing you be surprised how it takes it down

You summoned me, master?

Hatsan USA and Air Venturi (the wholesale division of Pyramyd Air) are our two distributors in the USA.

Deliveries to these two companies are completely independent of each other. Therefore, one company may have a product in stock while the other currently not.

In addition, pellets and slug production is unfortunately quite difficult at the moment because we are short-staffed. It's extremely difficult to find someone suitable. We are not the exception though; staff shortages are currently a widespread problem in our country.

Is anyone interested in a position as a machine operator at a company in rural Germany?
