Thankfully both are safe to dry fire

THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND! Thank you everybody for your help spreading the word. I don't know many details yet or when they will be back in our possession, but I got a call this morning from the Cranberry Township Police Department that both rifles had been recovered. They were found in the trunk of...

When I read that thread it just reinforces why I feel the need to build a air gun to properly test the gel for proper density. There is zero consensus on the proper way to make the gelatin. What got me started down this path were several YouTube videos that document that the Clear Ballistics...

. Fdales: I considered using a simple Crossman 760. My reluctance is that first, what is the probability that I can achieve my exact velocity standards with a set number of pumps. My second concern is that the velocity deviation between shots would be higher than the 15fps allowed. John: I...

Thank you, I was just reminded of this by a NCAA rifle coach on Friday. I contacted them and they are sending me the claim forms. I believe the coverage is actually $2500. Thankfully my daughter and I are both members. (We are actually both NRA certified instructors? Because she is not 18 yet...

I am interested in setting up an air rifle solely for testing proper ballistic gel density and have no idea where to begin. I would like to do this as inexpensively as possible. 10% ballistic gel can be purchased on Midway for $150 per block or made at home for less than $10 per block. However...

Bump

I updated/edited my original post to add the Feinwerkbau's serial number and to make spelling corrections.

Thank you everyone! Just to clarify a couple things; The Feinwerkbau 800X Ultralight is her air rifle. The Walther KK500 is her smallbore (22 lr ) rifle. The police believe it was most likely addictslooking for money rather than someone looking for guns. There were two other vehicles in the...

Thanks for the great advice. It was in the truck (Ford Excursion) traveling home from a match. It occurred in a well lit parking lot that unfortunately had no cameras.

THEY HAVE BEEN RECOVERED - See my last post! Both of my daughter's rifles were stolen from my truck last night. Her smallbore rife is a Walther KK500 Ultralight (Serial# KFA2589) Her air rifle is a Feinwerkbau 800X. (Serial# 16816052) Please help me spread the word to everyone you know in...

Unfortunately my only interaction with an air gun today will be cleaning my daughter's FWB 800X for her match at Camp Perry Saturday.

Creedmoresports.com has a portable target and backstop system, but it costs $425. Fortunately you can make something even better for 1/4 the cost. I used some scrap 3/4"x4" oak to build a pair of 12"x12"x4" shadow box frame. The back of each box is made of 3/4 plywood. I then used contact...

USPS does not ship ammo or I would have.
