Honestly, the factory mags being called junk is giving them something. I couldn't bring myself to just throw them away, but I can tell you, they'll never be back in the gun as long as I own them. I keep telling myself that the Notos itself is amazing, so having mag problems, isn't a big deal...

I've toyed with the idea of having a couple of airguns either dipped or cerokote/duracoated, and can't decide which is best and where to send it. I'm considering my Brocock Sniper syn stock first, and I like the idea of dipping to get the swirl/marble look, but wonder about durability of the...

I agree, regulator problem. I put a Huma on it. I have a R10 Mk2 in .177. It had a leak when I received it, so like a dummy, I kept replacing the easiest oring, then the next, and next. Until I got time to go through and seal the whole thing. Well, after some aggravation I finally got it leak...

I bught a Brk Bantam Sniper HR from a member here a while back. I don't know what it is, can't put my finger on it, but it is likely my favorite airgun. It just does everything well. It is accurate, (I'm more confident with this rifle at 100 yards, than anything I own), has a really good...

Well fast forward a year and, Wolfman greg, (a GREAT guy), sold me his AR Challenger HFT. What a gun! This thing is awesome. I have a stock Challenger that is louder than the 18fpe Challenger HFT. The 6 fpe gun has a certain bark, not much but a bark, especially notable when shooting from my...

I have many Hawke scopes and only returned one I bought used, and it was quickly replaced, no hassle, no problem. I'll continue to buy them.

I may be missing something here, so forgive me if I am, but someone mentioned a gun or two that was coming out with a >3600 psi aluminum cylinder. You have to remember that smaller, say less than 2.5" cylinders can handle way more pressure than a large diameter tank. If you read the...

I've had absolutely fantastic service from them, and have bought many used and new guns from them over a period of 20+ years. Now, I'm sure they make a mistake now and then, but I'm equally sure they make it right every time. Other than buying ammo from Pyramyd Air, I've likely spent the bulk of...

I tried kneeling offhand at 100 yards on a plastic beer bottle target. It took two shots to hit it kneeling and one shot standing offhand at 50 yards.

I usually shoot it to below reg pressure for storeage. But as great as it shoots, I hardly ever let it set very long so not really much problem. I just took it on a walkabout. I have a plastic beer bottle replica hanging in a tree, 100 yards kneeling took two shots, 50 yards standing only took...

I have two Notos rifles and, of course, two mags, which are "functioning", but that is not very descriptive, as they feed with lots of force on the first round and then seem to function "ok" after that. One doesn't line the first shot up correctly, and I really haven't messed with the other...

No, it's FAC version. I keep it tuned around 25fpe or thereabouts.

I have a .22 Bantam Sniper which is one of my favorite rifles, accurate, consistent and a joy to shoot. Now, riddle me this....It has developed a slow leak. If I leave it with a goodly amount of air in it, say over reg pressure of 145bar, it will hold air forever (seemingly). But if I shoot it...

I had put up my target at 100 yards, but really hadn't had a chance to use it, so the other day when the weather conditions were pretty nice, I thought I'd give it a try. Nothing special, just rested off the bed of my truck, lasered at 100 yards. I got out one of my favorite airguns, a Brocock...

I can't tell from the pics. Is it wrapped? If so, it could have been painted and that can damage the tank. If Aluminum unwrapped, then I've not seen any rated over 3xxx psi. It is also unlikely, (unless, of course, someone messed with it) that the rupture disc didn't blow first. Aluminum has...
