    My recent transaction with Baker Airguns

    When I bought my daystate from them I talked to Donnie to ask him plenty of questions and he gave me his honest opinions on the gun. So I bought it and he said that he would Inspect it and shoot it then let it sit overnight to make sure it held air to make sure everything was up to par like it...

    What's better a Daisey model 25 or a Red Ryder?

    I always liked the model 25 better I guess just a personal preference. I still shoot mine every now and then. My early 60s one shoots the best.

    What happened to common decency?

    I am the same way. And that’s because I usually sell my things to go fast and at a very fair price where they are getting a real good deal and if they try to lowball me under that they can just forget about it.

    Who likes shooting steel targets?

    I know I like to.After I sight my guns in, that’s mostly what I shoot. I used to make them at work because our machine shop also had a sheet metal Department.I like to hear them ring when you hit them.

    Predom Lucznik Model 70

    I was mentioning to septicdeath when he posted about his because I have one also and the trigger is strange. At least mine is. It starts off easy then it hits a slight wall, then it’s easy again, then it hits another wall Then breaks.But it is pretty accurate. I just oiled the hell out of my...

    For new guys, do not let cost run you off

    I myself had a hard time justifying paying higher prices for air guns at first until I upgraded and seeing the quality difference. But I still don’t have as much into any Air gun as quite a few of people here do. My most expensive gun is $1500. But I think for around 600 bucks is good for a...

    Daisy 747 loose cocking lever

    That is strange then. Maybe you might want to just rebuild the whole thing. It only took me 20 minutes to reseal mine.And while you get it apart you might find something else that could be causing the problem. When I got mine it was well used and not taken very good care of. But it works great...

    Daisy 747 loose cocking lever

    You have the cocking lever adjusted properly?You know that piece that has teeth on it that you turn with the screwdriver. It is supposed to be adjusted to where you have the cocking lever in it’s rested position uncocked with the cocking lever upward I believe it’s right around 1 inch from the...

    Iron sights

    My very first PCP rifle was a Benjamin maximus.It comes with open sights.Although it’s a single shot, it’s still really accurate. I don’t even shoot it anymore because of buying several other PCP rifles afterwards.

    Air-gun that shoots salt to discourage woodpeckers destroying my house

    I have Big pilated woodpeckers along with other types around my house and they never mess with anything except for some tree stumps which is fine with me. But if I were to have that problem I would probably take one of my old cheap daisy BB guns and try pouring a small amount of Course salt...

    ID this springer, in old Black Sabbath pic

    That’s Tony Iommi holding a gun this time. I seen another picture with Ozzy Osbourne standing beside Tony but Ozzie was holding the gun. In that particular picture you could get a better look at the gun. Somebody else put that other picture on here a while back.

    Stories with GX PUMP

     I have the GX 2 .And I have had it for A year. I’ve done just 12 to 13 fills with it and so far it has worked good. I don’t let it get hot at all. I think that’s one of the main things with that pump. I think some people try to push it too much. I’ll keep touching the head on it and soon as it...

    Tuning Crosman 600 Precision Pellet Repair Shop

    I have always talked to him on the phone and he was willing to explain everything and answer all My questions. I almost bought one that needed resealed and his prices were much cheaper than everybody else’s but didn’t have to use him because I ended up buying one that was already resealed.
