Shot in the dark here... I knew a gent probably 13-14 years ago who went by Rick who lived in Michigan. He was a member of the WWCCA. Western Wayne County Conservation Association and he was heavily into airguns around that time frame. He also became a US citizen around 2010-2011. Was likely...

You're correct.... when I was starting out, there were few to zero options for small compressors that filled a gun and most were for tanks. That has changed and so the order will change.

Yes, sir... but the good thing is you're starting out with a nice little shooter. Many of us, myself included may have multiple high end PCP's, but still picked up a Notos. I enjoy mine. Also good that you found this place. Knowledgeable and mostly friendly bunch of folks here except that...

Welcome.... and enjoy. You'll end up justifying a tank when you tire of pumping... and that justification will make your brain say 'I have a tank now... I may as well get another PCP'... and so you will. Some time later, you'll have several PCP's and you'll want a way to fill your tank on...

Cheap red dots are frustrating for sure in all areas. There are some decent inexpensive ones out there as noted by others. Still, with all of them, you have to practice and get used to them. If you have mounting options, get to where you can shoulder the rifle with your eyes closed and then...

Probably gave away half a dozen of these several years ago with all my other Crosman stuff and now I got the bug again and got some bits to make a pistol. Need a steel breech. Would ideally like a couple as I'm planning on a small arrow shooting pistol and my machining isnt the best so I want...

I did get a used set of FX Adjustable, and they've been 'ok'. I dont begrudge anyone for spending their coin on whatever they want... Just for me, I've not found a need nor want to spend $200 on rings. I'll take my $30 rings and spend $170 on hookers and booze!

yep.... and to be fair, I dont consider elevation (if that was the shimming you referred to) as an issue. I've shimmed many a rings... but the two instances I mentioned were windage related. I got rid of a ton of rings a couple Hickory shows ago. Literally giving some away to folks. That was...

I've had two instances where cheap rings failed me. Both times, the scope appeared to run out of adjustment. This has happened before and I would reverse the rings and all good, but twice they were so bad that I had to trash them. Twice, but I've probably gone through a couple hundred rings of...

Unfortunately, I dont have a deadhead to test with... but would be interesting and now this has me questioning if the valve I got was somehow regulated to put out 3k.

I am a vet and work every day with veterans both with and without PTSD and a host of other things. We arent that fragile for the most part. If you have a storefront, put up a sign. If you have a web site, put on the web site that you offer a Veteran Discount and 'ask me about a shoot' and see...

No spring in the check valve... I'm at a loss as well. Talked with Grackleblast who has a valve for me so will give that a go. I got the valve from PA a couple years ago and was advertised as a 'slow fill' valve and most of my guns that I was shooting at the time only filled to 3kpsi so I...

Morning, all Originally, I had thought perhaps that my CF tank was leaking. I would fill it up with the compressor and then some days later, use it to fill a gun and it would only fill to right at 3kpsi. Today, I topped it off and it was near 4kpsi. Filled to just under 4500 and went to fill...

Just some random work over the last month or so....
