    How many people own a chronograph?

    X2 on the Amazon version (at least) now that it's fps too. Regardless a Chrono is what you're needing to get the most out of der luftgewehr.

    Hp max folding adapter

    Sure. Unscrew the buffer tube portion out of the hinge cup. Remove hinge from gun. Remove cup from hinge. The cup part gets faced off in the lathe to remove the remaining portion of the latch cavity for the old hinge. Once that's gone you need a new hole pattern in the cup to bolt it to the...

    Any guns you regret buying"

    Hatsan airmax .25 qe ! I didnt have it long enough to really let it form any mind altering regrets...I put it back in its shipping box as fast as I got it out. Why you may ask? Well it was the orange stain paint "walnut" stock and the mishmash of plastic parts and inconsistant finish on the...

    Feel free to call me stupid..... Or help clearing pellets stuck in barrel

    Funny story, I gave my nephew a 177cal air venturi tr5 repeater. The kids dad thought it was a pneumatic rather than a springer. They managed to stuff 14 or 15 pellets in that thing. So back to uncle it went. Pulled the barrel and went to heating with propane torch...didnt take much heat to...

    Raw hm1000x alternative magazine

    Well the idea behind the Cheap gauntlet mag was simple expediency. Under 12 dollars, a few swipes on an abrasive and Pow! No programming or spring making. It fits both sides and is more compact than the stock mag. Its one of those "Easy Button" solutions that works.

The 7 round gauntlet 30 mag @ $11 dollars. When surfaced down to .672" ish the mag will ride on either side of...

    What was an absolute game changer for you in this sport?

    Agreed...I started with a refurb marauder .22 (remember those barrels?) about 10 years ago and then a few mid? priced guns followed by a taipan mutant. I recognized that the mutant was in another league but not so great that it was paradigm shifting. Fast forward to this year...have acquired a...

    RAW LRT (Full Review) Grey Laminate / Rapid Air Worx HM1000X LRT

    I took possession of a moderated .30 chassis version from High Pressure Pnuematics. I can assure you the moderator works! I can also assure you that it will set the bar pretty high for future airgun purchases. Only my Taipan is close in terms of pride of ownership. And most else in the locker is...
