Thanks for sharing your experience. I spent hours over 2 days being “escalated to a specialist”, and each “specialist” seemed to have less knowledge. Kept pulling my hair out and thought to check here. Their conclusion was that my bids were blocked because the vpn created a mismatch with my...

Completely agree in all respects!

Thanks for your help. The rod came, got it installed without drama. Now I have extras for next time.

Thanks, I’ll try him for this job.

Is he like David Slade, where they have the parts you need but they won’t sell the parts? I hadn’t heard of Mr Wilnecker. The online comments seem similar to Mr Slade - great work but not the warmest communicator? I have no complaints about my last interaction with Mr Slade.

The pellet gets stuck in the barrel sometimes. The random nature made me think maybe the breech seal wasn’t sitting right. It wouldn’t shoot pellets at all if it was a seal inside, right?

Picked up a pre-safety model off fleabay a few months ago. It seems to cycle properly for its power, but I’m getting big swings in power. Sometimes it shoots fine, then the next shot will be a squib. The breech seal is new - maybe it just isn’t seated correctly? Is fixing that a lot of trial...

How is the pellet fit on a .25 CM? Assuming accuracy is more than acceptable on these. My Kodiak is a loose fit with every pellet I’ve found. This includes all sorts of random Beeman pellets no longer in production. Power is about all it has going for it. I use an HW80k around the backyard for...

Thanks a million! That is exactly the info I’ve been looking for. Coincidentally, when you say OLD model, my brother was given one from the 80’s missing the front sight. I’m going to bring over a spare HW sight next week and see how workable that is.

Gents, Has anyone replaced the fiber optic front sight on their P5? My son was shooting it and somehow the rod is missing. Never replaced one and can’t find anything on the googles except a bunch of results for the newer P-Five. Thanks, Benny

What is the best caliber for this platform? I always wanted a .20 just because it was an exotic combo back then. Picked one up a couple months ago and haven’t been able to shoot it much, but the pellet availability got me thinking: I’ve seen someone say it’s a little light for .25 and I’ve seen...

It finally came yesterday! And of course it came late, as I was getting ready to leave for the day. My first impression was a feeling of incredible quality. This is seriously underrated - the perfect form of the stock swells, the blueing, the solid hand fitted feel to it…I did not expect to be...

Which pellet seems to work best in the CM? Will I need JSB Jumbo’s?

This was indeed! I’d tried to get one a week or two earlier but it was a .25 and for some reason I want the rifle in .20 more than in .25

A summer or two ago I asked if .20 was dead. It generated a lot of interest from shooters, though nothing from ammo manufacturers… Anyway, I stumbled upon a nice older R1 in .20 around Christmas and that’s become my main rifle. The Blue Ribbon scope is smaller than I’m used to, but the clarity...
