Law of diminishing returns

They helped make my Marauder a very handy field gun. No clumsy scope or the extra weight and quick on target. I'll admit that I am chasing the last of my once perfect eyesight, but I am of the opinion that shooting open or aperture sights is good exercise for eyeballs. That said, 35 yards is about as far as I can reliably hit a squirrel-head sized target. Beyond that, I pretty much need a scope.

Gun flexability, or gun numbers...which?

I like having a fun setup for each task. I tried doing the multi barrel setup with the fx maverick. Sounds cool but then there is a lot of tuning involved between each swap. Of course you can right down all your tuning settings for each setup and hopefully you will have it the same. I like that I can pick up the gun I need on a whim if/when the opportunity arises

Barrels  WTS Crosman 1322- 1337 parts...air valve- piston-pump- barrel - barrel band, etc.

New parts for .22 caliber CROSMAN air pistol. - 1322 MODEL

10.25 " stock barrel
upgraded/stronger barrel band that has adjustable screw to tighten down on barrel for better accuracy
stock air valve with all internal parts

I do think the air valve and piston cup assembly will fit the crosman 1377 .

Adapting a 1.1L Cylinder

I just saw this on the Huben Power web site
External adjustment, have to drain the cylinder to adjust down.

It appears to offset the cylinder which should allow using cylinders with larger diameters like 86mm 1.1L
CF 1.1L are actually cheaper than 0.7L CF cylinders

It looks like you would need to remove the barrel to mount the regulator.
Have to fabricate at least 1 barrel band too.

When Do I Need A Heavy Slug Liner For My FX Maverick VP 600mm .30cal?

Back before the 30 yard challenge started I messed with the 30 and the heavy liners. I shot the 30 yard challenge at 36 a couple times to get a 197. Actually it was the 30 yard challenge that helped me with keeping small groups at long distances. I believe the ones shot for the challenge were the jsb pellets at the time.

Post in thread '30-Yard Challenge' https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/30-yard-challenge.1214772/post-1231906

wow 2 years ago. But yes the standard superior liner still does well for 50ish down grain which at the time seemed like all of like 3 pellets. Maybe some changes in 2 years since?

Umarex  NOTOS Owners and modifications:

The whole point to what I am doing is to create a #6, nearly silent slug shooter. I hope to make this version available for sale soon.

I took it out tonight in the rain and popped a Starling and boy, let me tell you, the sound the pellet made at 50y hitting flesh was the reward I was looking for!

The sound the gun makes with the subscriber moderator insert is purely mechanical now.
I just bought a Notos and this is exactly what I was looking at doing in the future. Right now I'm gonna use it in the stock form for squirrels. I want to learn to do some mods I figured this would be the cheapest platform to do that with. What moderator is that on your gun? I am trying to get mine as quiet as possible since the neighbor feeds the squirrels. Which explains why so many are trying to get into my attic.

Mounts/Rings  SOLD Selling A BUNCH of scope rings/mounts (BKL, Sportsmatch, B Square, Vortek, others)

If you haven't seen my other threads, I'm getting out of the hobby and selling everything off in chunks.

Here, I'm selling a bunch of scope rings. I WILL NOT SPLIT THIS UP. I'm only selling everything as a set at a really good price.

Most of the rings are in like-new condition and some are actually new and still in the packaging. Everything is in working condition.

Comes with everything in the pic. I'm not going to catalog everything, but it's a combination of 1 inch and 30mm rings and 1 piece mounts. There are a lot of higher end brands -- Sportsmatch and BKL were my favorite (w/ a B Square steel 1 piece mount) and Vortek and other cheaper generics too (like Monstrum).

Price is $260 total shipped PayPal F&F or add 3%.

Price is FIRM.

The only thing I will trade for is a Fender Strat, Fender/Squier Duo Sonic, Fender Lead II or III, or Squier Classic Vibe Strat (50's, 60's or 70's) (with each side covering own shipping).

Traditional Rifle  SOLD HW30 .177 Paul Watts/John in PA tuned/chopped/1/2 unf threaded, 2 extra stocks and case

I'm getting out of the hobby and selling everything off in chunks....

For sale is a customized HW 30 in .177 that I bought from a well known member on this forum.

The gun was originally tuned by Paul Watts and I had John in PA do some additional work on the gun to chop the barrel shorter and thread it w/ 1/2 unf threads.

The gun comes with 2 additional stocks. The first is an older Steve Corcoran stock w/ extra shoulder pad. I sanded it down down and renished it a while back during Covid. The second stock is a standard all weather stock.

I'm only interested in selling all this as a set so I can limit how many transactions I have to do.

To be clear, this set includes the gun, moderator, bushnell scope w/ AO and focus down to less than 10 yards, sportsmatch rings, Steve Corcoran stock, extra all weather stock and case. It does NOT include any of the shooting bags.

Price is $520 for the set shipped. Will sell in order of responses.

N/A  Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

Hammerli 850 magnum, but it is a bolt action CO2 gun. Needs an adapter for extra mod and CO2 Tube so you can use the 12g cartridges. But a very accurate gun up to 30 yards. 22 cal generates about 11-12 foot pounds energy at the muzzle.
I've had an Umarex 850 magnum for about a year and a half now and have to say, that bad boy is one honey of an air rifle! It's a fantastically accurate and incredibly fun indoor target shooter at ten yards, but it also has the power to pulverize any pesky pest with the unmitigated temerity to show up out front or in the back yard every now and then! ;-) I went ahead and bought the 12g cartridge adapter with my initial purchase online at Midway, along with a few extra 'magazines,' all of which were right around a hefty 30 bucks each, if I recall correctly, but I was lucky enough to get the rifle itself for a super affordable, just over one-hundred-and-eighty dollar price tag, back when I (ahem) pulled the trigger on the purchase. Free shipping too, so that was a pretty good day of online shopping! ;-) The adapter is a necessity for me; I really like having the option of using a single 12g CO2 cartridge (well, one full and one empty) when time is short or I need only twenty five shots or so. If I have a bit more time and want more shots, then two full capsules are called for (that second cartridge can be finnicky about being pricked), but when it's maximum shooting pleasure for which I'm shooting (an entire session of target practice or a nice, leisurely day of hunting (when I still could)), then it was time for the 88g cannister, with enough CO2 for right about two hundred plus shots!

All together, I have five very nice CO2 air rifles in my collection, along with a Crosman 2240 pistol in carbine configuration, all of which could be called on for small-game and pests if absolutely necessary, but I use them for ten yard indoor target shooting almost exclusively, when I'm feeling a little gassy. Hyuck, hyuck. My 850 magnum is about the highest quality and most powerful CO2 rifle I have, but I also really enjoy my slightly older, Sheridan-made 2260MB (now only made by Crosman) CO2 rifle, equipped with very well-designed open sights that I absolutely love, as they allow me to shoot the thing with incredible accuracy! Actually, when it comes right down to it, all of my CO2 rifles are highly accurate, including even my somewhat dated, slightly less super-accurate, but extremely fun-to-shoot Crosman 1077W semi-automatic. Also, although it's my newest and so far, least-used CO2 airgun, my super-affordable (just over sixty bucks from someone at Amazon.com a couple of years back) Beeman QB78s is a very, very nice rifle!

I also have a few gas piston air rifles and one or two springer pistols, and the rifles in particular are more than powerful enough for pests and small game, but excepting my quite cool, new-tech-equipped Omnia ZRS from Spanish company Norica, I just don't dig all that weird (to me) movement and kick that comes with a break barrel, and I don't want to even -think- about the PCP side of our hobby, although the type certainly would be up to the job. I mean, suppose I tried one and absolutely LOVED it? Scary thought. Nope, my wife and I need to keep some kind of retired life lid on my airgun hobby spending, and PCP seems like it can get real expensive real quick, so thanks but no thanks. Now, if we were flush with jack and I was healthier and still able to enjoy getting out to hunt in the wide wild world, I might feel differently about the type, but being a bit too gimped up now as I'm approaching my dotage (ha ha, I hope!), I guess I should count myself lucky (yes, that's the way to look at it!) that I don't have the need. :)

Yep, all of the nearly thirty air rifles and pistols now in my collection are pretty danged sweet shooters in their own unique ways. Still, when it comes to the CO2 and spring/gas piston models I have, I just don't believe they'd be quite as handy and all-around-utilitarian for a situation like that described by the OP, especially when most of my collection is comprised of my overwhelmingly favorite airgun type, the variable pumper air rifle (a number of pump pistols are in there too, of course <grin>), nearly all of which are capable of handling the job, in .22 or .177 caliber. Hmm... So many choices, so little time... :)

So... I recommend a good variable pumper: preferably one in .22 caliber, such as the Crosman C362 or C2023 (the 100th anniversary version of the 362, now only $300, instead of the $400 price I paid), or the excellent .22 Seneca Dragonfly Mk2, also available in .177 caliber (I have both). Then again, there's nothing wrong with the smallest caliber airguns now available if you prefer, particularly for target shooting (very affordable!). For this situation, I'd suggest perhaps a .177 Winchester 1977XS (excellent accuracy!), or it's little cousin, the Daisy 880 (or the internally identical Daisy 901) would be great choices. More great choices would be the synthetic stocked Legacy 1000 or slightly better (in my opinion) 2100b Classic air rifles, both from Crosman! But wait... there's more: yet another Crosman option would be the roll-your-own Custom Shop at their crosman.com website, where you can design your own variable pump .17 or .22 caliber carbine and equip it with ALL the bells and whistles, for a super reasonable total cost of about two hundred and twenty bucks, delivered! Now that's a great deal, and while I haven't had the need yet to test drive it for the purpose, I have no doubt my own .177 caliber, all-black, super sweet little carbine built from the basic vanilla 1300kt air pistol would make an EXCELLENT tool for eliminating pests at the range and under the circumstances described. Oh, Wait! I forgot to mention you also get to have your very own, personally custom-designed Crosman carbine inscribed on the right side with the name or text of your choice, in one of three fonts you pick -- at no extra charge! I named mine Evie, a nickname for my incredible wife of nearly forty years that had me design and order one as a gift for my last birthday (what a gal!). ;-) I chose to go with a Williams notch (not peeper) rear sight for mine that helps me get fantastic accuracy with almost too much fun, and I love it so much I'm thinking seriously of building myself another, even groovier little carbine in .22 caliber, before prices go through the roof like everything else!

Well, that's my two cents worth. :) Good luck, everyone!

Helium balloon tank question

I get that. If we only bought the guns we need and what makes economic sense we'd find that very few of us would have more than two guns total. We buy what we enjoy and what appeals to us.

These days my criteria for buying a gun are, will I use it, will I enjoy it and can I afford it? If the answer is yes to all three then I don't give a rat's rear end how practical it is.
Yeah I only got 2 big bores I definitely plan on getting more later on right now I only got a .457 and .401 wish i could find a jack haley or pbba air shotgun or xp corsair .308

Posted by Gary P. for our Field Target match director, Ron Guiliano.

Thank you to all who came to support us today! The weather was perfect for a very challenging 34.8 troyer course.

Congrats to all the top shooters in their class, you earned it !!!

Thx, Ron G AKA EMD2😈

Can't wait to get these out and some others soon

Wow! Could you elaborate what it is my eyes are feasting on? Simply gorgeous…
Both are original early to mid 1800's production rifles.

The repeaters action is of the Girandoni type. That gun was made for hunting.

The ball reservoir gun is .40 cal and the repeater is .44
