    Tariffs Explained - Pyramyd AIR Insyder

    USA has the most gold according to public figures. Others estimate that we have a lot more than is acknowledged. Someone famous recently said "The Golden Rule. He who has the gold makes the rules." Just speculation. For now it appears USA wants to keep USD dominance via proliferation of...

    Tariffs Explained - Pyramyd AIR Insyder

    That's why Scott Bessent and many others are calling for a "Bretton Woods 2.0". The tarrifs are a step toward a level playing field in a multipolar economic order. It sets the planned chain of events in motion that leads to a new world reserve currency, which will be backed by gold and other...

    CS4 - maintenance after no use for 2 years?

    Would someone kindly explain to me the reason for changing the water? I have an Omega Trail Charger, which I believe is a fairly similar design, and it has been sitting rarely used for about a year and a half. Before that it was used fairly often for a couple years. Anyway, I have never changed...

    Different CO2 cartridges?

    I have Umarex, Daisy and Crosman cartridges that I use in a Crosman CO2 pellet revolver. The Crosman carts seem to last the longest but also seem to give the best velocity. I noticed it even without a chronograph. The Daisy are "OK" and the Umarex are really garbage in comparison. I would...

    How do you like Aliexpress?

    Definitely don't advise using it for any kinds of vitamins, supplements or anything else that you would ingest. Fake fake fake

    Other Which 30 cal

    In that case I don't think the Karma has the power, but you may enjoy the AEA. Can't speak for the Hatsan

    Other Which 30 cal

    I have a Challenger Pro 30 and I usually prefer shooting my Gauntlet 30. Even though the AEA has a wider range of adjustment. The long barrel 30 is going to be pretty crazy shooting anything other than very heavy slugs unless you turn that thing down a lot. The Guantlet 30 has perfect power...

    Air guns : An addiction or an expensive hobby

    I used to ski 30+ days a year and chase powder up to Northern Vermont on last minute notice. But I saw that as unsustainable and moved on, plus Covid came around and most people went nuts and killed the vibe anyway. Good exit excuse. Before that I used to chase certain bands on tour... one band...

    Wayyyyy different

    At least in .177 you get all kinds of crazy Gamo ammo to choose from. Some of those are pretty gnarly for little guys!

    Umareex gauntlet 2 ammo .22

    My G2 30 shoot slugs well but my G2 25 basically won't do it. I believe the 22 is similar to the 25 in that regard. I wouldn't even bother unless you're not worried about making nice groups. But maybe there is some ammo out there that works. I've tried a lot of slugs in my 25 though.

    The sizing on those H&N slugs is tricky. You have to spend money to find out if your gun likes a .217, .218, or .219 ... or none of them at all.

    Wayyyyy different

    As long as it groups just adjust your optics after you pick whatever you like best. I have a couple guns I shoot slugs and pellets out of, so in that case it's a little more important to choose ammo that has a similar POI. I do not enjoy messing with the scope to begin every shooting session...

    Events The Berkshire Airgun Challenge 2025 - Hosted by New England Airgun

    Granby isn't even west of the Connecticut river. "Berkshire" ? :unsure: "Connecticut River Valley", "Western Mass" or "Happy Valley"(a misnomer these days) are the terms favored by the locals for this general location.

    A friendly little Craigslist ad.

    Craigslist mods are asleep. Last I checked you're not supposed to post pellet guns. Write down that number if you're really interested.

    AEA / BinTac Defender 2.0 Info, Q&A, Tip, Tricks & Modifications Thread

    No, but this forum discourages discussion of airgun as defensive tools, so I won't elaborate beyond that. Except that I am in USA and at least where I live there are not such regulations.
