    Need advice Hw98 or hw97 for hunter field target or Diana 54

    Jon, ********** I found the best combination is exactly how you have said above. ARH spring and guide with the Vortek seal. That is what I currently have in both my springers and they have held up well. I have shot an older TX, actually tried to buy it, but I remember it being a little...

    Traditional Rifle WTS: HW 97 25mm tube / Maccari Grade 2

    HW 97 25mm tube / Maccari Grade 2 stock - $550 REDUCED UPDATE: 07/04/2023 I opened up the 97 last night to check out the insides. Piston still has good compression but I noticed the breech seal was toast. I swapped it out for an old OEM seal and the fps went up a little. I added another...

    PCP Rifle WTS: Crosman 2400KT w/extras - $125

    Crosman 2400KT purchased during the pandemic. I have not shot it in some time and it has been boxed up and ready to go to a neighbor who keeps ghosting me. Tired of waiting so I am willing to let it go cheap. It comes with the 18” Crosman barrel and a 6” TKO LDC, and lots of misc parts...

    Traditional Rifle WTS: Beeman R10 - $325 REDUCED

    Beeman R10 – Huntington Beach Up for sale is a sweet shooting R10 that I have had since 2017. Only the action was purchased off the old forum that shared the same color as the sun. This has been my go-to pest gun but I always had bigger ambitions of using it as an HFT rig. Sadly, life keeps...

    My Bucket is broke

    I created my own based on the attached plans. I had one of the A-special camping stools that the legs bent on the second outing. The dowels will never break (short of getting run over in the parking lot), and you can get the rubber feet at the big box hardware stores to help on the wet / muddy...

    HW97KT never disappoints

    Resources What’s needed for FT

    Springers are a great way to get your feet wet, so to speak. Easy to use for both buckets or bum bag, but you lose the power wars with the PCPs in Hunter.

    Taipan 2

    ARGUMENTUM AD METUM What ceases to amaze me is the disdain for this manufacturer from certain forum members. Can we lock down this thread so we do not have to read all the drivel again that was in the other post? The beauty of our hobby is we can go out and buy whatever we want. It is a...

    Regulated .177 M-rod build about to get started.

    I am hoping to regulate my refurb Marauder over the winter. I already have the light-weight hammer, but I have to order the regulator. The one thing I keep reading on some of the other forums is the need for a lighter poppet valve spring with the lighter hammer. Can you provide any more...
