    Please Explain

    I have no idea why top tier prescription lenses are so expensive here. I have my eyes checked here but have the lenses done in the Philippines by a very reputable optical shop when a member of the family goes home. I own 5 pairs of the same brand (Oakley) and model and always insist on Crizal...

    Benjamin New Pistol

    That’s a pretty expensive pistol built for FT if I’m not mistaken 👍

    Is it possible to”blue” zamac?

    Powdercoat is the best paint for that alloy if you’re going that route. I’m slightly aware they can be zinc-plated, but that would make them silvery.

    N/A What Is The Best NEW PCP Air GUN Deal You Saw Today?

    Preternatural in shape yet quite attractive 👍

    Marauder pistol/Wood Grips/Trigger reset

    Don’t tighten the grips too much, particularly the right side that has the removable plastic plate.

    BNM breeches are not commonly seen nowadays 👍 A pity I ignored GMAC’s version while they were still available.

    I plan to ask Tony Mele again (he refused me the last time when I queried about a Disco stock) if he can make 2 for me. I’d be willing to pay $250 to $300 if he says OUI. I think he’ll consider it if there’s a demand. That gent makes superb 10/22 stocks; had 3 of his but my interest in...

    Not mine. I very much like his version of the Crosman 1399 butt stock. Somewhat rough but I do like it 👍

    Hawke 2-7x32 AO IR - Mil Dot Reticle visibility

    I don’t have the non-IR wire, but I have peered thru one. I find it thick for my taste, although not as thick as those UTG/Leapers wire reticles. Saying this, I much prefer the glass-etched IR mildot version; have it on my Crosman 2400KT in the Philippines for rat pesting 👍

    Any experiences with Hawke 2-7x32 ao IR?

    It’s not super fine for me; Bushnell’s MOA Deploy reticle is finer. Got the old model 4-12 and the 2-7 IR glass-etched Hawkes. Moreover, it’s a mildot, so those dots should give you bigger and more visible reference points unlike the AMX.

    Set screws, cap screws, and button screws—-all in hex—-in brass from McMaster and Amazon… Stainless screws would never look right, IMHO, for this brass and SS build 👍
