    Quote fail. Yes that's the piece. [/url][/IMG] not exactly the same but where the main spring is held captive, is the same position where I noticed a small hole that was perfect for holding my spring. Had to trim a bit and bend a bit, then one more cut and worked out just fine.

    How to questions

    Disregard! Found the problem. Don't know the parts name specificly but I'll try my best. On the trigger assembly the piece holding the spring for the cocking mechanism broke off. What I had to do was cut part of the spring off bend it at 90 degrees into a portion of the assembly that I assume...

    How to questions

    Hey all! Does anybody by any chance have some info or know how on repairing/restoring the Red Ryder BB gun? I finally have the time to get out and shoot my firearms again but still enjoy plinking some cans with the kiddos. We've got 4 for the kids and one finally petered out. I've had that one...

    Is the Ruger Airhawk a good air rifle for the money?

    Anybody got links to the parts available for upgrading? I don't mind a cheap tinker toy

    Hw97k question

    
Were the shipping prices decent? For the model I looked at I've seen 799 to 759. At around 300 less on the link as long as shipping wasnt over the top I wouldn't mind . At this point as long as it isn't pcp, I'm willing for quality

    Hw97k question

    If it was something was familiar with I wouldn't have a problem putting work into it. I've bought plenty of problem firearms with certain quirks and didn't have a problem fixing it. This is uncharted territory though. @strikefast thanks for link

    Hw97k question

    Well the deal to me seemed to be a dud. No doubt it was hw97k but from what I've seen on the net the stock didn't match any of the models. Custom is understandable I throw kits on a lot of firearms. Shook it a bit heard some rattles and noticed the under lever felt a bit loose. For $250 could...

    How to tell if I have a gas spring

    Open it up and check out the insides. Find a forumer familiar with the model and get some help if you aren't sure how to go about doing it. Or check out some YouTube videos you can find some instructions. A spring gun has a spring hence the name. Gas Rams have a piston. Do some research...

    Hw97k question

    
Sounds awesome. I'm headed his way tomorrow to check it out. I'll post feedback as soon as I can. Kinda skeptical someone would pay that much for an air gun then practically give it away.

    Hw97k question

    Holy crap just looked it up for new purchase. $700 will jump on it ASAP at $250. From the description he told me I'm assuming it's this model http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Beeman_HW97K_Air_Rifle_Stainless_Steel/2579

    Hw97k question

    Thanks for the input. What scope would you recommend? I don't think I'd be trying 100 yard shots but wouldn't hurt to try her out at that range though.

    Hw97k question

    Still haven't made a purchase on my first air gun. Ended up buying a case of 7.62x39 instead! Anyways the more I keep learning about air guns the more stretch my budget to get a quality air gun. Pcp isn't too practical for me so springers and gas rams are my preference. Ive come across an...
