    Anyone else spent way too much money on this hobby?

    I would say at least 95% of us LOL

    Brocock/BRK BRK Brococks, Transparency…

    I too have drunk the Brocock Koolaid! I love shooting them all. I now have 6 in .177, .22, and .25cal. I think .22cal. is the ideal cal. for a non magnum. I do have to admit though that for a short barrel carbine size pistol/rifle I prefer my Huben GK1 with the folding stock in .22cal. It...

    N/A looking for a compressor (not a cheap one)

    I have a Rovair from Pyramyd Air and it's been great for over a year and at least weekly use. It fills to 4500psi and has an auto shutoff. It also does not require extra cooling, it is all self contained. It also require 0 maintenance and uses 12 or 120volts. The only maitenance I do is change...

    Pellet sizers

    Whenever I need to increase the diameter a little I usually powdercoat the pellets or slugs. It works pretty well most times. I had to double coat for my Huben GK1, but they work well.

    I have 2 and I added a stock to one of them and it makes a great little carbine.

    Simple compact swaging dies

    I have a set of GMI dies from a couple of years ago and I used a small 6ton Harbor freight press on and also a heavy brass hammer. They both worked pretty well. I use lead wire with mine.

    I died One year ago today

    Fifteen years ago had a massive heart attack at work. Had a quintuple bypass so every day I wake up is a gift from God. Really glad you are still with us. Treasure every day as a gift. It's amazing how the small things don't seem so important anymore. Enjoy your new little buddy.

    Airguns That You Broke, Received Broken, or Just Broke and You Never Fixed

    I checked all of those things. It won't let the air in. I have the almost exact copy that Wes used to sell and tried exchanging parts and that didn't help either. I have repaired several other guns including 2 Brococks for filler problems and this is a different setup altogether. There is a ball...

    Airguns That You Broke, Received Broken, or Just Broke and You Never Fixed

    I also have an Alfa Proj that had very little use but has a fill issue that I have been unable to figure out. It won't accept air in the filler. I have had it apart several times and as of yet no luck fixing it. I usually bring it out when I have some extra time and and end up frustrated and put...

    Airguns That You Broke, Received Broken, or Just Broke and You Never Fixed

    When I bought my latest house I was doing some work up in the attic and I found an old Daisy air rifle in the eves under the insulation. It look old but like a copy of a 1894 Winchester bb gun. It was pretty rusted from being in an unheated attic. I tried taking it apart to clean it up and...

    AEA I need advice on making my AEA TD .30 cal trigger become much lighter.

    If you are a trigger snob you bought the wrong rifle. I have owned at least 6 AEA rifles and only my Challenger Pro had an ok trigger. They are not the rifles for a lover of fine triggers.
