    Model 48 Being Discontinued by Diana

    I was just thinking about selling my 2 yr old model 48 in .22 to downsize my battery of airguns so I can buy some different ones. Looks like I will be keeping it for a while now.

    Authentic Yong Heng?

    I want to buy an authentic Yong Heng compressor but noticed a lot of them are marked as Yong Heng but have different manufacturers. Because of the company I work for with facilities in China I know they have no copy right laws so anyone can put Yong Heng on the outside of their compressor. What...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Shot my old Beeman R1 and Weihrauch HW97K both in .177. Didn't have time to shoot my Diana model 52 with the Vortek kit in it. Will start with that one tomorrow.

    Benjamin Marauder POI issues

    I checked the baffles again and may have found a mark on one so I reamed them all out about .008 larger. I also scrubbed the barrel which I usually don't do on airguns and then used a washer in the barrel band as suggested. It now shoots pellet on pellet at 10yrds! Can't wait for warmer weather...

    Benjamin Marauder POI issues

    I recently picked up a Benjamin Marauder Gen 1 .25 with the GM barrel. It has been a disappointment so far trying to get consistent shot placement. The pellets I've tried so far are JSB King Heavy diablo 33.95 and JSB King 25.39. Both struggle to keep a 1" group at just 10yrds. Right now I'm...

    Air Arms would like to know - Do you remember your first air rifle?

    My first was a Crossman model 140 in the mid 60's. Shot a lot of rabbits with it. Sold that and bought a .20 Sheridan Silver Streak. That one never shot as good as my Crossman for some reason.

    No brand china compresor first experience

    China has no copyright laws so they can make a clone of any American product. Looks identical on the outside but they put whatever they want inside. The company that I worked for that had a well known name, has this same problem. Nothing they can do about it.
