Without a doubt, the rugged looking one has personality.

I wish the previous owner of mine didn’t hack the stock up. I had to secure the front with a longer screw and a washer. What little they put back together, the valve spring was backwards. It was an adventure.Yeah all that is going to be the same. Huge difference is the stock being used offhand way nicer. The grip up front allows the gun to be pushed to the shoulder easier and supports the gun better for charging the next round. So offhand shooting I found this design really nice. Especially with a red dot.
Agreed. That’s why I’m saying that I do not advocate for “consumer” behavior, I.e. throwing away stuff instead of fixing. But investing 1000s when you just get into this sport not knowing if would keep it going also not really advisable. But extended warranty with cheap compressor helps a bit as @Air King notedI initially "invested" spent money on the least expensive compressors that, while adequate for rifle filling always failed in durability when compressing for high volume high pressure applications. I spent more on all the "starter compressors" than it cost to buy a SCUBA rated gasoline powered compressor, sued, from a reputable dive shop supplier in Florida
There is a open box used hammer carbine at Utah Airgun for $850.00 just saw it....Hey guys
New to the forum. I'm strongly considering the .50 Umarex Hammer Carbine since I heard the magazine air release was fixed. My thing now is appearance. The full sized hammer has the smaller bottle and the hand guard, but the carbine doesn't. I'm an AR guy and love a good M-lok rail. I LOVE the FX Impact M3 look with a saber tactical rail, but can't get behind the price.
With the carbine having no hand guard, that area just seems a lil too bare. Any ideas or experience retrofitting a rail like the saber tactical over the barrel? Or even retrofitting the full size hammer's hand guard over the larger bottle on the carbine?
I'm currently making a low power 25 for close range and indoor pest work. Hoping for an accurate shooter at 550 fps with 25 grain pellets.I played with a fpe calculator and I think a ~20 fpe 25 caliber is pretty doable. You could push 25 grain up to about 600 fps and if your gun happened to like 20 grain FTTs you could go almost to 700 fps. Those are not high velocities but are in the same range as the stock tune on my old Prod. Inside 30 yards I think it would work great. Nice big pop on the pigeon but less chance of penetrating the roof. Getting an inexpensive 25 caliber to 50 fpe can be a challenge but tuning it down to 20 fpe should be easy. It would be quieter and use less air. Should be fun to shoot.
My thinking is the sameJust bought a 12v/110v off of Vevor for $149.00 shipped. I have two young hengs but this seemed to be cheap insurance and people have had great luck with them. Oh, it came with Alligator Clips for the battery and terminals for the included 110v power supply.

Capefear all the way.Best bet is on the west side of the country Utah Airguns. On the east side Cape Fear airguns. Both are authorized warranty repair centers and should be able to get any part you need.
My plan is to take it off, chuck it up in the drill press and cut off and then radius the bottom. Do the English (Brocock) have tiny little hands? lol.Same with the Ghost.
But, it's a pretty simple task, to just cut the handle/tube in half, and bolt it back together.
Or -
Like I did to my XR, NO cutting involved !

Yes, it seems pretty ridiculous.That's cool! Airforce should have released a new model with factory pic rail instead of dove. Great work!
