    A good farm gun ?

    Plus one for .25 caliber and I would add at least 50ftlb to deal with bigger pests. The above mentioned Condor in .25 is a 90+ftlb gun if you can live with a single shot.

    FX Price Increase

    The decline of the dollar vs the euro is raising prices. Make no mistake we are in a mess right now.

    HW35

    Nothing Wrong with an undamaged leather seal. I have seen reports of upgraded guns seeing improved performance by going back to a properly treated leather seal. Perhaps the loss of stroke from the seal adapter is detrimental?

    How many of you have been holding off on new ags?

    The dollar is off in value vs just about every other currency now. The world wants no part of our current mess. And I’m not even talking tariffs. It was one thing to watch the prices climb at Krale as that was expected as the dollar declined against the euro, now check the prices at AOA, it’s...

    Best upgrade that improved my enjoyment of PCP guns.

    I have been using the same Shoebox booster/compressor since the advent of the PCP era. Its slow but always works. I fill a guppy tank and of course fill my guns from the tank. The Shoebox has been rebuilt 3 times and I have one rebuild kit left. I dread the day this thing dies, and I have to...

    finally.. AoA package is in town

    I have had a couple USPS packages head off on crazy journeys. One bounced all the way to California before getting to Massachusetts. The tracking on that one was comical, even A.I. should have known something was wrong. I still use them, when things are going well they are reasonable and fast.

    FWB 603 value

    I saw Junior at first glance. The proportions are different. Beyond that I believe only Juniors came in that laminate color.

    HW35 any good?

    Run From that one. New in box my behind. As for the model, definitely buy one. They are the cream of the fantastic Weihrauch crop.

    Beeman Beeman .25

    Just clamp the barrel to a bench or table and push down on the butt. It will easily straighten right out. You will be back to enjoying my favorite caliber.

    Macavity Arms Have A Macavity Arms MA2 PCP Air Rifle? You Must Read This!

    I like the fact that they are offering a kit for those able to do the repair. If I owned one I would be excited to do the repairs. If forced to send it back, I would be less than thrilled.

    FWB 603 value

    That is a Junior version. That changes your audience. Some folks buy them for someone of smaller stature or add spacers to increase length of pull. Personally, if the shoe doesn’t fit I wouldn’t wear it. If a child were competing today it wouldn’t be with a SSP Unless it was in the Sporter class...

    Brocock/BRK Brk Sniper..what a rifle!

    Yes they are a little heavy and the while trigger isn’t the best on earth it is very predictable. I find myself grabbing my XR over others in my safe. I like the really sturdy barrel system, I know if I hit the barrel on something it won’t affect POI or have me loosening barrel bands to get it...

    Maple Custom Products - 3D magazines

    I recently received one for my Brocock XR. After a dab of silicone grease on the probe it operates as smooth as the factory magazine. In .25 it holds 8 shots vs the factory 10 but is marked to show the last 3 shots. I prefer that to a guaranteed 11th dry shot with the factory magazine. I will...
