I second the recommendation to get ahold of Troy hammer. I don't have a gun tuned by him but I did see someone at the range that had one. He had accuracy that 2as just as good as any other rifle on the range including fx and daystate rifles. The power he was making wasn't quite as powerful as...

Also most the time giving a new crown using a brass screw either increases accuracy or keeps it the same but occasionally it hurts accuracy. Usually it's because you didn't do it right. I messed up on my first barrel. I didn't rotate the screw position enough and it turned out miss shaped. If...

Let us know if you have any questions at all. Lots of good helpful people here. Welcome

Ok I found it but for some reason I can't upload photos right now. What I have is an argon/helium/nitrogen welding tank. It's 40cf and 6500psi. Is there any reason why I couldn't use this tank to fill airguns? Seems like it would be a minor detail of finding an adapter to a micro bore hose with...

It does not have raised lettering from a air/gas company. I'm in the middle of moving and I can't find it but I'll try. I do know it is steel and said it fills to 6500 psi. I believe it said it was multi use for any inert gas. I am wondering if what I have is a welding tank of some kind. I did...

If you have any questions at all about any further problems you can start a new thread or pm me directly. There's lots of guys on here that don't mind going into autistic detail how to fix your gun when something goes wrong. The marauder is a gun I know inside and out and I'm always happy to...

We used to use those hose spools as picnic tables on our lunch break when I worked at Shell oil. Looks like they make pretty good shooting tables as well. Very nice set up you got there. 

I like my dads hatsan 130 in 30 cal. I can shoot a small apple at up to maybe 25 yards. It took forever to learn how to hold it the way it likes to do that tho. However I only had a 10 yard long backyard at that time and was able to dispatch pests at 10 yards all day long from the first day I...

I would go to a flea market and see if you can get a big nitrogen tank for a good deal first. That's what I did. I haven't set mine up yet but I found one for only 30 bucks. I think you can just exchange them like propane bottles right? 

Don't get discouraged by all this. Go take your hunter safety course in the state you plan on hunting and they will explain all this in the course. It's a good place to ask questions as well if your having difficulty figuring it out. 

I didn't mean to offend anyone with my opinions. Casitas has this right IMO. Perhaps I should have communicated as well as he did in a shorter manner. I consider all of you valuable members of the community. I really believe what I said but I probably come off as a hard liner regarding...

You have stiff competition as there are many rat pesting channels out there my friend. I always have time for another pesting channel tho. You have my subscription sir I will comment again after I watch and give my unsolicited opinion on if it's truly the best lol. God bless happy hunting - Raden

Grandpa's always have the cool equipment and a lesson to go with it. At least that's been my experience. In my case grampa was more into pocket knives, powder burners and old model A trucks. Lucky for your grandson your into airguns. It's pretty hard to resist the airgun bug when you get around...

I got caught in a freak snow storm deer hunting with my dad and brother. We liked to travel light before that day and only had water and our guns strapped to the quad. We made fun of the hunters that spent thousands of dollars on hunting clothing. Blue jeans and a flannel worked just fine. Well...

Wow I didn't know that. He was in so many films I loved. I think he would have owned a theoben eliminator, a raw hm1000x and a fully customized dzroid full auto bb gun. Just because those seem to be the most bad ass guns I could think of in springer, pcp and bb gun categories.
