It's hard to beat the beauty of a nicely figured walnut stock so rather than post more walnut I'll go for something a little different.

I got a bit carried away with this maple and yew stock I made for my AR20. Being custom fitted, form does follows requirements very closely while allowing for some "artistic license".

Cheers!

I appreciate both. I am not a wood worker at all . I am really bad at it. So I appreciate someone doing what I can’t. But I was a machinist and a mechanic for decades. So I really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making the metal guns. And with airguns tuning is what I really like to do. So both are actually great.

I don’t absolutely dislike the Walnut Luxus stock. But it’s not anything as nice as the 30 Walnut. The thing is, the Luxus style stock demands an optic. The iron sights are useless because the comb is to high. Make the Luxus with a nice muzzle brake and clean without sights then give us the traditional 30 Walnut stock with the iron sights. Duh!

Something I discovered about these lookalike BB guns …
Some of them are such good copies of the originals that even the “real gun” accessories will fit. Grips, sights, suppressors, etc.
For example, the KWC M712 shown below is attached to a shoulder stock from a real Mauser C96. No modifications were needed.
The ability to swap selected bits between my airguns and PBs adds a whole new dimension to this hobby for me

I have the factory but have been considering a loading gate. Loading gate seem to make sense because with factory, you have to turn the magazine every single load while a gate allows three pellets and then one turn, three pellets, one turn.... No? I've not tried the loading gate so I don't know for sure.

I figure that there has to be a reason why the loading gate is so popular.

Nope, if you load 3 you’ll have to click over 3 again.

I have been refinishing a couple of old Freeland palm rests to use with my FWB target rifles for offhand shooting.

Which hard cases are you all using to put your GK1s in once you mount an optic?

Best value: Harbor Freight Apache Case size 3800. $40. Comparable to Pelikan's $100+ case of the same size.

Cleaned up my shop this morning with rain in the skies. Put an Aperture on FWB 601. And cleaned the FWB 150. Easily 2 of the best made springers I’ve ever seen.
Last few months I scored some HW30’s and R9’s. Shot them all last week. Today I organized them.
Somebody stop me. View attachment 562662Top 4 row HW30 .177
5&6 row R7 .177
7 row HW30 .20
Bottom 2 row HW30 .22
These, I’m hoping to use till I die. Plus a few select others. I want to give them an assortment of springs, already have 4-5. I have a 80 and 77 up for sale soon. I had another HW30 Walnut .20 on order but canceled because of tariff deal, not sure. But will get it. I lost a 30 stainless with USPS recently. Not meant to be. Waited almost a year for that one. Not going to reorder. Second hand, for sure, but finding one, I’d have a better chance getting hit with lightning this afternoon. Have a few rifles to shoot this afternoon. Crow

Need to try a junior if available, I've only seen pictures.

I haven't looked for handgun scopes for a while and I am shocked that theres really nothing out there any longer. WOW! Leopold and Burris used to make some nice ones. I have a very nice little Leupold FX-II 4x pistol scope and a Weihrauch 2x - both small and light.

Leopold still makes a Pistol scope but it is 100 yard parallax and 9 inch eye relief if i remember correctly when i think pistol scope i think standing free hand arm length hold .

The HW30 walnut is EXACTLY what they need to do on a larger selection of rifles. That stock is magnificent. Mine is rather plain walnut but the design and fit is marvelous. It almost makes up for the catastrophe that is their current stock. I even love the sling swivels.

And you can have lefty or righty....none of the extra cheekpiece crap. The "new" HW 95 walnut, well, gack.

sorry, I was born a curmudgeon and have spent the last 70+ years honing my edge.

$860 per minute...

Actually, it looks like it's $3.00 per minute to the Netherlands with my AT&T plan that does not have international calling.

I think I'll stick to email for now...lol.

This is weird... But then I've reached the point at which no one in the media is trusted. Let's wait and see how things work out.

Lol, slowest incline since April 2021… I mean, if the benchmark is 4’10” we’re all pretty tall I guess…

I never got an email back from Krale but they were pleasant to deal with when I called them. I was at home so my cell phone was on my internet and it cost me nothing to call them. English is not their native language but that only affected them for a few seconds. Once they heard my English they switched and were fluent. You have to call them in the morning due to the time difference.

It is perhaps not the most polite way to deal with it but another option is to just call the credit card company and explain what happened and that you have returned the gun and ask for a credit. I doubt there will be any issue. Or you could call Krale first and resort to this if they don't want to cooperate. My experience is good with credit card companies whenever I have a problem. My guess is Krale will not be a problem. They are polite, they just don't want to get involved with shipping problems.

UPS will be here in the next few hours. I will decline/refuse delivery so the Snowpeak P35X will be automatically sent back to Krale. If I refuse delivery, I won't be liable for the $860 import tariff according to the UPS Service Rep.

My plan is to let the gun be automatically returned to Krale. After this, I don't have a plan

. I'll probably email them with the order and shipment number and just tell them I refused shipment. I also know I could dispute the charge with credit card company, but don't see the need for that just yet.

I also might call them per your suggestion, once I determine the international calling rate for my AT&T mobile plan.
