    Bugbuster for Field Target Pistol?

    The bug buster scope has a very thick cross hair. I would go with the UTG swat etched glass reticle scope. Used by a lot of field target pistol shooters. A pistol scope doesn't work very well for pistol field target. Most rest pistol on shooting sticks and use an eye cup or just line up eye till...

    Umarex Notos bottle mod?

    Just an FYI. All hpa air bottles are aluminum. The carbon fiber bottles are aluminum, rapped with carbon fiber. Granted the wrapped bottles are thinner than a complete aluminum bottle. Don

    Umarex Notos bottle mod?

    Thanks, my regulator is m18x1.5 threads. I looked at those bottles. Very nice but seem to cater to paint ball on their regulators.

    Umarex Notos bottle mod?

    I have purchased the American made drop block from ebay, hopefully avoiding the "clocking" issues with the other blocks being used. If not, l have a lathe and mill to correct said issues. I also ordered a regulator and aluminum 13ci tank from China. Does anyone have a confirmed weight difference...

    HELP! Need Cocking Shoe for TX200

    Pyramyd air will probably have an OEM one. Air rifle headquarters use to make some from better steel at times. Don

    Umarex Notos 13ci 4500 bottle conversion parts

    I was just saying, if the block needs clocking 5 to 10 thousands, how far could the other milling operations be off. Putting an out of square block in a vise and drilling and tapping holes is going to guarantee all operations will be off a few thousands. Not building a precision device here so...

    Umarex Notos 13ci 4500 bottle conversion parts

    Not trying to argue but trying to learn. If you clock, a square or rectangle 4 sided block and face off the end, are you not squaring the part? Only been running lathes and mills for 40 years but willing to learn new methods. Don

    Umarex Notos 13ci 4500 bottle conversion parts

    I have a lathe. I would think, if installing the plenum and then the drop block, clocking or squaring plenum to drop block, would not be a problem unless using a terribly machine drop block. If the drop block is that much out of square, l would be very sceptable of the integrity of the whole...

    Diana Diana 430l TO6 trigger spring breaking?

    I sold my Diana 430l to my brother in law. He likes the gun but the sear spring, in the TO6 trigger, has broken twice. He was able to order 2 spare springs and a complete trigger unit from PA. He had one of the spares break, installed complete TO6 trigger and after shooting a while, spring...

    Customstock.co.uk ?

    Great company. Stocks are drop in. They are nice stocks. The walnut is nice but mostly straight grain. Checkering is well done. If you want fancy wood, go elsewhere. I would buy from them again. JMHO, Don

    Umarex Notos 13ci 4500 bottle conversion parts

    Just received my Notos today. Considering some mods, if the gun is accurate. Would like to keep it a light carbine but more shots are better . Not looking for a lot of power. Something around 13-16 grain pellet at 19ish foot pounds. The plenum kit might help to get close to my goal or a 13ci...
