    Barrel bores and electrical discharge machnes?

    I first thought of a ram edm using a broach like electrode design but the problem with ram s is that not only is the barrel reduced of metal the electrode wears as well. That leaves me to think taper. Not a good thing I think? I did work with a kid that had an amazing mind when being able to...

    Can anyone answer why CROSMAN.....

    Just a thought, but do you have any friends in CT? Maybe Storrs? That's not to far a drive (about an hour from Providence) and not such a big ask of a friend. Like I said, just a thought. If I still lived up there, I'd help you out.

    Something for the Benjamin Shooters

    I love that style Disco stock! They obviously fattened it up for production rifles. Remember the Katana stock? That's another stock I wish I could get. Yours reminded me of it. Anyway, real nice rifles you have there 👍👍

    Vote - Quietist Airguns...mouse fart quiet

    I have a Hammerli 850 in .22 that barks pretty bad. I added a 7" TKO and now it's hard to tell if it has mis-fired or not. It's not, but by far the best TKO I've ever had and I've had a few. The M-rod come first to mind as a very quiet gun I've owned as does the 1701p.

    One really good scope...or several ‘decent’ ones

    Having 1500 bucks for a scope is not reality for me. My high end scopes are Hawke in the 200-300 dollar range. My low end scopes in the UTG and Center Point that sell around 100. The last scope I bought was an Aeon 8-32 refrub for cheap on PA. I always wanted to try a high powered scope. It is a...

    Finally mounted my scope

    At one time I had the same problem. I swapped the rings, front to back, back to front and all was better. Then it happened to me again. It didn't work the second time and I needed to shim.

    Here I go again with my Disco!

    Thanks for the tips guys. I've used some of them in the past. I just finished up deburring with my dremel and followed up with 600 grit on a wood dowel for good measure. I'm just waiting to get back into town for new orings. Also, one of the good guys over on the GTA sent me a new 3K pressure...

    I shoot everything I own from the bench. when I lived in Florida there were some club options and I miss the guys I shot with. The fun in the sport is what you make it. I did ok with what I had at the time. I'm sure I'd place better now that I have better rifles and more shots down range. If...

    Here I go again with my Disco!

    Had this one set up nice. Shooting 800 fps with very accurate groups using JSB 7.87. Then the fill nipple started to dump all my air when finished pumping up. Needle valve not sealing. I removed the nipple and cleaned it- but also noticed a very sticky coating on it as well as the inside of...

    What did you shoot in your youth?

    Still a kid at heart. 1st gun at 10 years old. Crosman 114 .22. My Dad saved it all those years of teenage and twenties crap I had to go through and I got it back in my late 30's. Still have it and shoot it from time to time. Learned to shoot in our basement one winter. My Dad and Grandfather...
