Welcome. Ft Lostinthewoods sure has changed from my days back in the 1960s getting "ready" for my Combat Engineer job in RVN. I was sure glad to be gone from there. Hope you enjoy your retirement and shooting with air.

Ouch!
What is cool about this gun is it's the last of the receiver stamped date codes. Perhaps literally.
Serial numbered C's began in April of this same year.

Yes and another good thing is that this gun has been everywhere with me. All my freinds and family have memories with it, through the years.

Another cool thing is that the serial numbered Silverstreak, (The Dumpster Queen) is one month older, being in the first month of serial numbers of the same year.

Snowpeak M25 + Huma regulator in 5.5mm

PaiN9550
Hi All!
Do we have any Snowpeak M25 5.5mm owners in the group that have played with a Huma regulator? Im scratchign my head at the results im getting here....As far as i know the stock reg is set to 110bar on the high power models (not sub-12ftlb) but im getting less shots per fill and less performance than the stock regulator and i cant understand it. See results from all my testing below.

All testing done with JSB 18.13gr 5.5mm - 10 shots per pressure setting from a full air tank
Stock Regulator
======================
??? bar
970fps
(37 full power shots)
Huma Air Regulator
======================
110bar
860fps
(27 full power shots)

120 bar
890fps
(24 full power shots)

130 bar
900fps
(21 full power shots)

140bar
920fps
(18 full power shots)

150bar
940fps
(15 full power shots)

I have shown Huma Air this and they have decided to send me another regulator. So ill post results with that soon too. TIA!

Air Arms  Left Hand ProSport???

beerthief said:
yes what would it be to change the tooling to make AMBI loading ports ? (in the case of
Pro Sport ) actually thought of filing / grinding one
Click to expand...
It's funny, I've gotten so used to loading with my right hand, that the loading port on the left side of my lefty TX200 feels awkward because it forces me to use my left hand. Muscle memory doesn't like to be messed with.

N/A  Winter fun with iron sights

MDriskill
I actually don't know the model number, but they are relatively common, and Anschutz made several similar models. If you search for "Anschutz tunnel sight" they should pop up auction sites, etc.

If you can buy from the German auction site "eGun," that place is a treasure-house of target sights. Search there for "korntunnel" and it will bring up a ton of 'em. (Search for "diopter" and it's match sight heaven.)

This old thread has a good picture and some useful notes:

Anschutz - German tunnel front sights

There's been much discussion about iron sights on the forum lately, so a few notes about tunnel front sights may be of interest. This photo shows two familiar vintage German front sights. They have three basic parts: + tunnel housing that clamps to grooves at the muzzle + sighting elements in...

HW/Weihrauch  Okay. Now I'm done buying airguns. No. Really I am.

The fellow I recently bought my 77 from had my last bucket list gun. Feeling very happy with my 77 I had no problems buying another rifle from him. This rifle was just added to my bucket list in the last year. Thanks to the likes of Mike Driskill and others touting the shooting qualities of the early Hw50 series in a thread. The early 50 series are 25mm bores like my beloved Hw30 with a longer stroke and threaded receivers. They came in target ((55?) and non target models. They sounded interesting to me but the stock styling and lever locking breech kind of left me flat.

Then I find out for a short time Beeman marketed a Hw50 as an R8. I always thought it was the modern 26mm Hw50 that I have already have. Then I found out that the R8 was basically the earlier 25mm Hw50 with modern amenities like a synthetic seals, a normal chisel detent and a Goudy stock. Hold the phone! Now I have to have one.

Today I struck a deal on a very nice R8. Not cheap but I don't mind. There's nothing I know of like it in the Weihrauch line. I don't have it hand yet. I haven't even written the check for it yet. Here's some photos of it with aperture sights. I declined those sights to bring the price down to my budget. I'll post more pictures when I get it.

This morning I ordered a Vortek kit for my 77 I'll have to call Tom in the morning and have him add another kit on there for the R8. That's my big excitement for the day. Now that I've got my early 77 and getting a R8 I'm out of bucket list guns. That makes ten or eleven Weihrauch rifles now, so no more.

Thanks for letting me share my excitement.

Be well.

EDgun  Leshiy2 speedloader

bigHUN
To make it short I am looking for the original metal speedloader in .22 second hand preferably.
Back in time when these were in first gen status I did several scenarios with my 3d printer, worked almost decent in .25 cal, but never actively used at my range.
Planning now to train speedshooting in my club and I would need to reload fast.

Brocock/BRK  scope mounted on the ghost

cavedweller
Arzrover said:
Good questions...
The scope being lower has better balance and less clicks or holdover for short ranges but more clicks or holdover for long ranges. The limitation on the Ghost is being able to see through the scope because it's a bullpup. Most of us will benefit from using the riser because of face structure and position. A high scope will be more forgiving at the long ranges in FT but may balance worse.
So the choice of tradeoffs is yours...
A larger scope is heavier but usually has a brighter image so you may be able to see on the dark lanes better. In Hunter, there's a mag limitation , so going too big is just heavier and more expensive ... not usually a benefit... Yours should be fine if the weight is ok for you... Again, the tradeoffs are your choice.
For myself and my wife, we shot Open class mostly and the B&L 4200 was as dependable, bright, and good ranging as any I've used, plus less than 16 oz and f'd up the balance the least of any available then, or probably now. It's tradeoff was objective parallax. That is a lighter and simpler system than side parallax, so for us, well worth the inconvenience...
