    Optics * SOLD * Streamlight TLR-1 Light with Remote Switch for picatinny - $50 shipped

    * SOLD * I've had this Streamlight TLR-1 light with remote switch for several years. It was mounted a couple of times on different airguns but I don't have a need for it anymore. The light and remote switch work fine. I don't have the box for it anymore. It's is good working condition but it...

    Accessories *SOLD* 2 Different Butt stocks for the Huben GK1 Pistol: A one piece stock and a folding stock

    *SOLD* I purchased these two different butt stocks to try with a Huben GK1 I had last year. As you can see from the attached pictures, the designs are quite different from each other. One of them is a folding stock with a Saber Tactical stock brace connector to connect it to the rear of the...

    *SOLD* I purchased this Omega 75cf (6.8L) 4500psi DOT-approved air tank from Airguns of Arizona in November of 2024. Filled it once and used it a couple of times, and no longer need it. The label (picture attached) shows a creation date of July 2024. The air tank has an HP3 valve, dual...

    PCP Rifle *SOLD* Umarex Zelos .22 Compact with .22L bottle, 2 Big Air magazines and Bulldog carry bag

    ** SOLD within 15 minutes ** I purchased this Compact Umarex Zelos with a shortened barrel and 0.22L tank from Firewalker in January. I rarely get a chance to shoot anymore. But I'd briefly owned a Notos last year which had been upgraded by Firewalker and was simply curious to see how the...

    Umarex Maple Products cocking lever for Notos installed

    That new cocking handle made a big difference on my brother's notos. It requires a partial disassembly of the gun.In order to change the lever. There is a very good video on youtube describing the process which I needed to follow. I recommend it because the improvement was worth the time and...

    N/A Who makes the quietest gun out of the box?

    Poor judgement often results in unexpected consequences. Some kinds of poor judgement, like alarming nearby neighbors with target practice in your back yard, are mostly defined as such by local laws and by a country's cultural history and expectations concerning firearms. The situation you...

    Taipan Comparing the Taipan Slash compared to the Huben K1 - Whether to buy a 1st release model instead of waiting for new owner feedback

    The couple of video reviews I've seen for the Slash were informative but didn't have quite enough info for an informed purchase decision. Especially info about the specific process for adjusting power levels and range of adjustment. Including a few dB sound tests would also help a lot in the...

    N/A Daystate, Airgun Technology or FX.

    I've never had a Daystate or an AT airgun to compare to an FX airgun, and have only owned an FX Crown for a few months. So I'm not in a position to disagree with your assessment, which I assume is based on side-by-side comparisons of different examples from each manufacturer. Daystate and FX...

    Taipan Comparing the Taipan Slash compared to the Huben K1 - Whether to buy a 1st release model instead of waiting for new owner feedback

    It's a common enough situation. We start seeing teaser reviews of new airgun models at the annual shows. The technical specs look very promising and the overall appearance is acceptable. And after a person has owned enough different airguns they are often looking to try the 'best new release' as...

    What reticle do you prefer?

    For many years I've been a casual shooter of mostly short-range paper targets. That makes reticle choice relatively easy for me. At least compared to a guy who needs to track a moving animal through their scope while crouching amidst a tangle of trees and branches. A couple of years ago I was...

    Crazy price of used guns

    The prices in the classifieds run the full range. We've all seen how people begin by posting very high prices for their prized airgun. And after a few days they start dropping their prices with ** REDUCED AGAIN ** edits in the ad title. It's a hard lesson to learn that one's cherished, and...

    Evanix Evanix Rex .357 is a fun one!

    This .357 Rex pistol was a real hand cannon. Power ranged from ~100fpe down to about 70fpe over 3 to 4 shots, depending on pellet weight. The main drawback was the slow single-shot loading. The mechanism itself cycled very smoothly, though, and it was easy to load the large .357 pellets. The...

    Other Arrow slinger - help me decide

    The newer Airsaber Elite X2 airbow has two barrels instead of one. It costs about $450 US, compared to the single barrel Airsaber airbow at about $300 US. I think that having a 2nd arrow immediately available is a big deal in a hunting situation. And the $450 cost of the Airsaber Elite X2 is...

    FX FX Redback Standard vs the Gogun Redback carbine 8-shot airbows

    We've seen posts on various models of airbows over the years. They seem to take two separate paths of development. There are specialty arrows like the Air Venturi Air bolts designed for use in air rifles of different calibers .357 to .50 cal. with barrels over 21". The main selling point there...
