    NSA Question | New box or Old???

    This is a business decision that should be of benefit to your company. Most of us buy your product & really don't care much one way or the other how it is safely packaged. Keep your costs down and quality up & everybody is going to be happy. Respectfully, Paul

    Repr regulator in a different platform

    If you can afford it, buy the gun you want the first time. If you get a lesser gun, you will eventually get the good one & the other one will rarely get shot. You will still end up getting another gun at some point unless the increasing prices make that difficult for you to justify.

    Unpleasant thought- but reality

    Airgun and associated accessory prices are going up and will never come down again. The rate of inflation may come down at some point but the dollar will have lost much of its value. An air rifle has a physical value and cost to produce. A $100 bill only has the value of what it will buy. I...

    Pellet tins?

    I save the JSB type large tins with the protective sponge on both top & bottom. I lube with Pledge sprayed on the sponges in the tin top & bottom, add pellets or slugs, then gently roll and turn to lube the pellets. I dump them into an appropriate cardboard box to dry. I usually spray the bottom...

    What pellets for Avenger .177

    Both of my PCP .177 airguns shoot very well with any of the Air Arms, FX, or JSB 10.3 gr. pellets. I'd start with those & maybe you'll be lucky & not need to buy 10 different pellet brands and sizes before you find your go-to pellet. Paul

    Gave my brother my 1st PCP.

    Good for you & good for your brother. Now you have a fantastic shooting partner when schedules allow & he has a source of filling his gun. If you have a compressor, buy an inexpensive SCBA tank on eBay. (be very selective) A 30 minute small tank can be pretty cheap. Get him a proper fitting...

    What did you replace your Daystate Huntsman Regal for?

    I have no pre-Huma reg Huntsman to compare to, so I don't know. I do know that I got very a consistent velocity range when I originally shot through my chronograph. I didn't write anything down as I was in the process of looking for the most accurate pellet at the time which turned out to be...

    My Yong Heng must have been built on a Monday

    My lightly used Yong Heng which I use to top off my 74 cut tank is 2.5 years old & first thing I did when I got it was to check for tightness every connection. Most were OK but a few needed another 1/2 turn to tighten. It's been pretty decent & reliable except for a pressure safety plug which...

    What did you replace your Daystate Huntsman Regal for?

    I have the one of the first Huntsman versions that first came out with the Huma reg. It's very accurate and a really nice looking gun. The only thing I wish it had was a walnut or other fancy wood forend tip. At the time I bought it, I was considering the Air Arms S510 in walnut (with the tip)...

    Way to mess with the squirrels and house guests!

    That is really funny. Is there peanut butter up inside the mask?

    Tuning Help with crown gauges .

    Go to the Huma web page. https://www.huma-air.com/huma-pressure-gauge I bought 2 of these, one to replace the FX gauge on my Crown that the lens popped off & the 2 face screws fell out & got a second as a spare in case it happens to the other one. Shipping is expensive. I didn't even need to...

    Using VCR tape as wind indicator

    Do a search for "bird scare tape." It's very light & moves with the slightest breeze. You can see it easily for hundreds of yards & it's pretty cheap. All you need is something to hang (tape) it onto. I usually use some old 1/2 o"r 1"PVC pipe. The only problem is that it eventually seems to be...

    Does NSA make silver slugs just in case a few show up?
