I think I'm good on pellets for awhile

Recently I ran a group buy for some Cometas out of Spain. Well the order is in! Just need to get it organized now and get everything shipped out to their new homes. This part is going to be fun...

An exciting shipment to receive indeed.🥰

H&N no foam insert?

I doubt the foam does anything but it might be a convenient way to add a bit of oil if you like doing that. It compresses so easily it's hard to see how it helps prevent damage.

Out of curiosity I tried some H&N Baracuda Match pellets I bought from Amazon and some I bought from Pyramid. The Pyramid ones were shipped better and arrived with perfect looking tins. The Amazon came in a thinly padded bag and the tin was dented. I shot 30 yard challenge targets with both and the Amazon shipped pellets did just as well. The skirts were not dented and the pellets showed no sign of damage even though the tin certainly did. I also had to return 3 "tins" of JSB assorted 22 pellets purchased from Amazon because the pellets were damaged. The 4th was OK. But I've seen tests others did videos on where they tested pellets with dented skirts and they didn't shoot much different than perfect looking pellets. I worry less about pellets these days but I still prefer to get undamaged tins and undamaged pellets.

PCP Rifle  SOLD .30 cal rti prophet performance (no regulator)

I have a rti prophet performance that needs a regulator. Currently no regulator is in the gun. I took it out to try and fix a leak coming from the regulator area. Could never get it working right and gave up and it’s been just collecting dust since. Before this is worked fine and I never had a problem. Make me an offer. I will accept various trades for it possibly. (Scopes, bi-pods, scope rings, hunting stuff, shooting stuff) but if you want to make a cash offer let me know.

Cooking

Later this week I will probably cook the 4 squirrels in my freezer. I put them into my electric pressure cooker and steam them for an hour under high pressure. That makes them very tender. The meat literally falls off the bone, even on the older ones. I like to either pull the meat off and dip it into bbq sauce as I eat them or pull the meat off several pieces and put on the sauce as I did in this picture. I always miss a few bones, however, especially on the backs.

I only keep the legs and back part of the back. The resulting pieces go in the pressure cooker better and also don't look like rats in the freezer or when you are processing them. The ribs and front part of the back has very little meat.

FX airguns from Ebay are now on Gunbroker

Was the username Outdoors8423? I messaged them about a panthera compact and a few days later got this message from eBay:

Might have been. I forget now as the person changed their user name early on. Then all of the guns disappeared off eBay. I suspect the seller got a cease letter as they had no right selling them. Then some popped up and I think are still on gunbroker. Then some different ones came back on eBay under bargainhunter. It’s really weird all these new FX guns out of N.C. everywhere. I wouldn’t buy one. I would wait anyway. I predict we will see a decent price drop in many used pcp. Nothing has been selling well for weeks and weeks now. I don’t believe it’s just due to Xmas season. Impacts used to fly off here at 1600-1700. I watch them now and none sell. Going to get cheaper really soon unless people just keep them. At least these trends seem to be true on this platform.

BSA  BSA Supersport restoration

No problem removing the piston. The seal looked ok to me but considering the age of the gun it makes sense to replace it along with the mainspring, breech seal, spring guides etc. which is what I plan to do. I read elsewhere that the MK 2 has a 3 point cocking lever and an external spring guide which means mine must be a MK 1. I agree with your comments about the quality. They are really well made guns.
The Mk1 has dovetails cut into the cylinder. And will be so much easier to work on
