Thank you!

I see that Krale now lists SPA M60B in stock in .30 cal and .35 cal, and indicates the following specs for velocity and energy (below) Mighty intriguing for a rifle in this price category, especially if the accuracy is as good as is reported for the already-available smaller bores. I wouldn't...

Indonesian intro/overview here on YouTube, of a "Greyhound M60B" which looks like the SPA. YouTube's translate seems to work. The video is more of an overview/ marketing intro than a user review, _but_ one noteworthy detail is that there's a quick disconnect fitting, under a dustcap, directly...

I've got an H9a in .20 cal. Trigger isn't the greatest but overall the whole thing exudes a build quality and lack of planned obsolescence that's a welcome change from many current products of all sorts.

Wow- thank you all so much for all of the great suggestions and guidance. I may likely not get to working on it until some time in the colder weather but you have all definitely encouraged me to give it a go rather than give up on it.

Thank you Terry for your intro to this. Interesting item. A lot of YouTube videos about the SPA (or Fox in some markets) M60 in other languages, some of which seem to mention a degree of regulator inconsistency, especially if you take quick follow up shots. Once you get into it further I'd be...

CTAirgunner - do you remain happy with the Huben hand pump? It definitely looks like the "class-act" of available handpumps. But I haven't really found any feedback from anyone who has used it on an ongoing basis over time? Thanks PS - amazing work on the engine. Hope it is now turning out some...

Thanks WorriedMan!

Wonderful - thank you so much for the suggestions. My Blue Streak is pleasingly accurate although I'm working with OE iron sights and less than terrific eyesight, so I am not holding it up to the standards I'd expect with more sophisticated gear. My H9A is a neat item but kind of a beast to pump...

WNyBill- If you decide to try filling a bottle with a small compressor with multiple "rest" periods (as you ask about above) I suggest that you _do_ bleed the compressor after a rest and before restarting it. I have a cheap orange Vevor and one time I (just experimenting with things) turned it...

Difficult to know what your metric of "good" is? It is a fun item for a modest price if you want a repeater PCP carbine. You can find extensive info via google and on YouTube of ways that people have done anything from minor to major modifications and the "platform" seems to be well suited to...

I have a Snowpeak PP750 (Notos by any other name) and bought a claimed-"improved valve" from a vendor on eBay (not sure if it is OK to mention vendor name here). The improved valve has a beefier stainless stem and a more robust main body of the valve, and less taper area at the valve seat. Maybe...

I inherited a Benjamin Benjamin Trail NP XL .177 from my dad. It's in pristine shape but the trigger pull is pretty much the most awful of any airgun or firearm I've ever handled. Not so much heaviness/ effort - just that there's about a quarter mile of vague gritty creep followed by an...

Hello all - new to this site (at least as a registered user and post-er, have been reading here for several years) In my late '50s now and trying to get back into airguns after other parts of life aren't as crazy. Started my airgun experience at around age 12 with my dad's 20 Cal Sheridan Blue...
