Definitely a Beechwood stock.

Do you get a new sear with the bolt kit? There are spacers available for the synthetic stock. And they perfectly. Item number 138420-000

You also mentioned gas. This is the Diana Chaser pistol/rifle. C02 - 22 or 177. Already has a moderator. Basically silent. Very accurate. The 22 caliber I have shoots 14.3 CPHP’s at 560fps. 177 probably in the 650+ range. 35-40 good shots on a single C02 cartridge. Also makes into a pistol. Very...

As stated above: MidwayUSA cannot get pellets to the buyer without totally destroying the pellets. They throw them loosely in a box without packing material and the tins/pellets are banged around being dented and ruined. Been a well known problem for a long time.

Yes, Hatsan USA. They ship fast, reasonably and well packaged.

The spring over time will take on a little set. So, it will be shorter than a new one. But so will the new one. The spring in my 57 year old FWB is still shooting at factory specs with the new seals I just installed. The old saying still holds true, “don’t fix it when it ain’t broke”.

Edit: A fellow member has brought it to my attention that some retailers still have these on there shelves at the old prices. I do not want anyone to think that I’m asking to much. So, I’m lowering the price. I took care of the ones I’ve already sold. New in the packaging tins of 500 count, 22...

Most gunsmiths will want to replace all internals. Not being certain of past use or abuse, they have their reputation to protect. If you learn to do it yourself then you can maintain it as you go. With the help and encouragement from other AGN members and videos out there, I found the task of...

I believe the broken part is the piece that trips without a ghost pin holding it in place. Possibly damaged from an attempt to reinstall without one or from an actual barrel release. Just a guess. No real stress on this piece otherwise.

If memory serves the broken piece is part of the “bear trap” or “drop” safety system. It’s the piece located on the right side of the the picture. Doesn’t effect the trigger function. Borrowed picture.

I just replaced the breech and buffer seal on this newly acquired FWB 150. 1968 model. The gun, spring and piston ring are like new. A lot of new springs these days seam of lesser quality. Why chance it. I’m not sure why you have spring twang. Won’t know till you get inside it. Congratulations...

This post sheds a light on just how important it is to hold the latch back upon closing the barrel on the HW35.

7.4 grain. Very accurate. Cheap. $4.99 for 500.

I got the the rebuild completed today. Picked up the breech and buffer seal from ARH. It doesn’t look like the action has ever been opened up before. All went very smoothly. Screws and pins came out quite easily. First three shots over the Chrony were 590 fps average using 7.0 RWS Basic pellets...

When I was searching the internet to try and understand the stock lengths of the Daisy 753 vs 853, I could not find anything definitive. So this post will cover this topic. I like a bit longer trigger reach so these three models are set up at 14 inches. The 853c (top in picture) has one “butt...
