"The Outers trap had instructions telling you to tape cardboard to the face to seal up the trap. Then hang your target. Works great that way, everything stays inside." It helps, until you shoot out the cardboard :) I'm not certain now if mine is an outers or a do-all. One thing I noted with...

Those outers type traps are ok, but I had quite a bit of lead spatter blowing back from the trap (about 5 feet typically) when shooting 22 pellets. I'd be really careful about using one indoors - try setting some sheets of clean cardboard in front of it next time you use it. The better traps...

"NEW GUN COMES TOMARROW , SNOW BLOCKING DRIVEWAY FOR DELIVERY" Sorry to hear about your upcoming illness tomorrow that will not allow you to go to work...:) Get well soon. Doctor prescribes a day of light activity, like shooting.

I have that scope, or an earlier (?) version of it (no bubble level), mounted on my .22 Wildcat. Works fine, and the big objective lets me shoot inside and outside dairy barns. I need to make or buy a larger sidewheel, as it would make it a little easier/quicker to adjust in the field - that...

What John said. I would add: the Barracuda Match (slightly more expensive than the standard) are sorted by head size, to a reasonable degree of accuracy. It may be worth your while to see if head size affects your rifle's poi. There are ebay dealers I've used to buy 25-pellet samples for a...

Cost of foreign-made products won't necessarily be affected, only American-made products will suffer (because the price of raw materials will increase here in the states. Which is why Electrolux wants to hold off or cancel building a new washing machine plant, if tariffs are imposed, the...

It's cool. But do realize that machine is working the pump in 3 ways the manufacturer never envisioned: 1. There is a significant side load imposed by the crank as the pump swings back and forth - this may wear the seals and bushings on the pump housing/sleeve. 2. The hose is seeing a lot of...

Pellet "splatter" was a concern for me too, as I shoot in my backyard. I solved the problem for the most part by welding up a snail pellet trap, somewhat like the ones below. Actually, I made a couple, the first from sheet steel and a steel tube, and sized to hold a 8.5x11 sheet, which I gave...

I second that. The Airforce guns you mentioned can be made to shoot fairly quietly, but require a lot of work to get as quiet as a stock Mrod.

Lucas' method is the one I used for my .22 Wildcat. Holding up well after a full season of shooting.

I pump both .177 Mrod and .22 Wildcat. Both take me about 10 minutes or less, depending on how often I stop to let the pump and pumper cool off. I've thought about purchasing a high pressure nitrogen bottle to refill from, but it wouldn't get fully discharged, so would be a spendy way to...

Yes, I have purchased pellet samples from Precision Air Sports on ebay several times, and found him an invaluable resource (especially when it came to picking the right head size for my .177 Mrod, it likes the Barracuda Match in 4.4-something head size...)...
