    Tariffs Explained - Pyramyd AIR Insyder

    It's now a given that higher prices will be the result of increased tariffs. OK, that's a given. Now, should the tariffs be rescinded, will the prices go down as well, or will the retailer keep the money as profit? Orv.

    Air Arms Brass trigger guard for Pro Sport in the US?

    I was at an airgun show/yardsale/competition in Hemit, CA just a few weeks ago and purchased two beautifully crafted brass trigger guards, one for my TX200, and another for my HW97K. Their cost was a mere $20 apiece. I don't know where you are located, but I can't believe that there aren't...

    Air Arms TX200 splits breach seals

    Those two breech seals can be real difficult to get into place without damaging them. Placing them exactly in their small space or scoring the breech valve should you be using metal tweezers or the like has been a challenge for me. I really like the thought of using a socket to place them -...

    Air Arms TX200 splits breach seals

    Is is possible that these breech seals are being damaged when they're being inserted? I know that when I've replaced those in my TX200, it's really hard to get both of them in and lying flat without damage. TXs are mostly simple to work on, but these breech seals are their weak point. Keep some...

    Gamo Better than expected tune up

    Now you know why many of us invest in springers from Air Arms ( I own a fine TX200) and Weihrauch (mine is a HW97K). Of course there are others, but you'll hear from others here on the forum what their favorites are. I have various other rifles, but it's springers that I always returned to. I...

    Weihrauch HW97K

    I believe that he was looking at a Krale price from 6 years ago. I purchased my HW97K with a walnut stock from AoA for in the $700 range last year. Orv.

    The best All around Air rifle scope

    Five years I purchased a Hawke Advantage 3 -12 X 50 scope via Pyramyd. Around the Holidays this past season, loe and behold, my wonderful scope broke beyond my ability to fix. I gave Pyramyd a call to see what I should do, they passed me off to Air Venturi who gave me the phone number for Hawke...

    Do you put grip on your triggers or keep them smooth?

    A smooth curved blade gives me the best tactile feel for my index finger to sense between first, second and fire on my triggers. I may be a snob, but I appreciate the slow easy feel of the trigger speaking to me for my best accuracy. Orv.

    Usps.....unbelievable

    Pirate Ship has proven to be economical and efficient in my case. I just has my TX200 returned to Air Venturi. My shipment went from California to Ohio in 4 days. Good service via UPS. Orv

    Air Arms Left Hand ProSport???

    When checking with Pyramyd, see what stocks they have available . . . You just might find a lefty there. If not, perhaps your friend you made you the custom stock a year or so ago, he may be looking for another project. I'm personally not impressed with the Pro Sport as I am with my TX200. The...
