    Western Airguns Solved !! ……. First big problem with sidewinder .25 Cal.

    Thank you for the update and so glad its working correctly again. The broken piece looks poorly made for a gun in this price range. I'm gonna wait awhile now before buying one and see if yours keeps working.

    Western Airguns Solved !! ……. First big problem with sidewinder .25 Cal.

    Emu, thank you for the reply. Funny, about that same time period, I bought a Remington semi-auto and had nothing but trouble. Then I bought a new Weatherby Orion. It would shoot both barrels at the same time if I used duck loads. Anything can fail.

    Pellet-Guns.com in South Africa has them listed. I've purchased several times from South Africa with no problems. Never used this dealer though.

    N/A Western Airguns Sidewinder Magazine Depth

    I just want to know the length of the longest pellet or slug that can be used in both caliber Sidewinders. Will be important to me when making my own ammo. Thank you Emu for your reply.

    I've search but haven't found an answer. Length of longest pellet or slug that will fit and function in the Sidewinder. I would like to know for the .25 and the .30. I'm trying to research everything before buying one.

    Lubing with Gunzilla

    Sounds like Gunzilla is great, just don't let it set too long. And just for fun, I looked up toothpaste. Most are equal to 600 grit sandpaper. Yikes.

    Lubing with Gunzilla

    So, you treat the barrel with it. The barrel must look like this after a nonspecific amount of time. Also tooth paste is gritty. Is this stuff gritty feeling?

    Hatsan Jet 2 price

    Don't cock mine before filling. I use a tank to fill. Never had a sealing problem with valve in mine. Not sure about the super glue suggestion above. Don't think I would do that. Oops! Miss read that. Sorry. Supper lube is great. Have a detached retina. Can't hardly read.

    is it really worth it?

    The price you are thinking of is a little low for what you have in mind. I started swaging in 1990 when prices were much lower. Each diameter requires a different die. Even .001" different. Each point shape requires a different die. Each tip type requires a different punch. Same for the base...

    You did a great Job! Nothing compares to a nicely finished wood stock. To me atleast.
