My next springer is going to be a HW50, I have the HW30 Deluxe and the accuracy and build quality for this little gun is phenomenal. The 50 I believe is 6.5 lbs and in .177 it'll get up to 850 FPS, about 40 in. long. The Record trigger and smooth shot cycle on these guns is addictive, no...

Good info.

That is a nice re-purpose, they would make nice handles for things. I work in a fab shop and put them in scrap metal.(:

I 've had a lot of the Chinese B-3 variants, they're cool guns, A word of caution, I would keep your fingers out of the breach (I just used needle nose to load them), there are many instances of them removing fingers. They have an anti-bear trap on the lever, but I just never wanted to trust my...

The 317 is a sweetheart, way easier to pump than the 397. Re-sealed my 50's version a couple years ago, shoots dead on. These tootsie roll guns are getting harder to find, at one time I had the whole line of them, kept the 317 because it shot the best.

I was thinking on the PCP version, it can be hand pumped to make things simple, and has the bolt action with a mag. I had a Discovery when they first came out, it was a nice reliable gun, mostly wood and metal and light, I liked it. Crankin off 12 consecutive shots with a bolt action K98 sounds fun

How are you pumping the 397 to 10? mine is almost cracking in half at 8. I recently re-sealed it and it's a bear.

I like the Daisy's as well, had an 1800's Markham that shot similar to that, it sold for crazy money, Still have a collection of the usual sought after, early teens straight stock 25, Buck Jones 107, Red Ryder 111-40 etc. Latest Daisy I picked up was the 100 Co2 pistol, I think it is a 1961...

We all had Daisy's of one variant or another, if you had a Powermaster 760 you were a serious air-gunner hunter, we heard of these guys with the "most powerful pellet gun in the word" a blue streak, but rarely ever seen one. This 1970 had the price tag of $21.98 from a sporting goods store, it...

It's interesting comparing today's models with those of yesteryear, I have a variety of the early Crosman 760's and I am amazed at the longevity of that solid styrene plastic, and the heft of these small guns compared to modern day stuff in this segment. The modern Daisy will out shoot the...

How does the Thompson perform?

They are pretty loud and mine is very hard hitting I really like it. These guns are very easy to repair with a low parts count and built pretty stout. Your arm will also get a work out if you go above 4 pumps. The Williams peep make them very accurate, I've also though about the S model, looks...

I really like mine as well, had it about 3 years. I dread the day I have to go in it, from the looks of videos there is a lot of small springs and parts in the thing. The sound of it cycling is so realistic.
