    HW/Weihrauch My new gun has droop.

    Well Ron, This has likely been a problem with Weihrauch spring piston guns since the 1950's ? If there's nothing significantly wrong with the lock-up or cocking arm ...... Just bend the barrel and be done with it :). After a quick evaluation, I think CDT and NCed from the GTA wouldn't hesitate...

    RAW Rapid Bad day with my RAW

    Yes, stock carved out so it‘s hidden … adds about 20-25 cc’s. Bob Stern’s design from the GTA ✌️. I only use it on my 25 caliber.

    HW/Weihrauch One out, one left to sell and one incoming. That's my last air rifle. For real this time.

    Most CZ's have a relatively nice Turkish Walnut stock, just got to get rid of the (godawful) dark, maroon stuff they spray on :confused: .

    Yeah, because the wind can be pretty rough in Spokane, I thought I'd get something with more power. Just got a Lilja Match barrel ... too many rabbit holes o_O .

    RAW Rapid Bad day with my RAW

    Just saw this today :unsure:. I have no experience with the extensions .... but I fully understand the frustration of RAW airgun leaks :p . My Sekhmet gauges still leak down after a few months. The only Plenum I'm using is this: While looking very shaky, been in service on my first RAW 1000x...

    Yeah Ron, I've got 13 as well and really only shoot 3 or 4 of them enough to justify keeping ...... lately mostly into my CZ 457 22 LR. For some reason the things I collect are guns, guitars, movies & tools. I spend the bulk of my free time making/ working on things in the shop . Your new...

    HW/Weihrauch Took HW35 Out For A Few

    Hey Frank, I'm envious when it comes to your shooting :).

    Diana Chaser project update

    Hey Walther, Beautiful Work ;) - How does she shoot?

    N/A What's more important to you Max Power or shot cycle?

    Hey Ron, Assuming you don't loose accuracy, tuning the gun down for an ideal shot cycle is always preferred by me. As an example, my .177 HW95 with ARH Hornet spring / max spacing can achieve 910 fps (14.5 fpe) with 7.9 CP's. This has been my most accurate pellet. However, the shot cycle...

    Air Arms too heavy

    Hey OldVet, The answer is ...... to use pellet weights based on the platform/caliber you're using. Not super light or super heavy, but trying to create a balanced shot cycle which should give you near max velocity without excessive piston slam or bounce.

    Air Arms too heavy

    Yes Ron ;), I talked to Jim Maccari at ARH years ago and he said "YES", too heavy pellets, especially in .177 caliber will shorten spring life (Motorhead/Ron). However, as you’ve also said .... shooting decisions should be based what you prefer ..... springs can be easily replaced. - I usually...

    Please show me your wall rack

    Installed this rack last winter - bought off Amazon on Sale :). Used 2"x 6" pine and wedge anchors to attach to cement wall.

    HW/Weihrauch The Saga of my HW95

    Yeah JP, Weihrauch Springers need some TLC to shine brightly ......... I enjoy the tuning aspect of airguns as much as shooting them. I usually take them apart for a tune as soon as I buy them new, tuning the trigger system is as important as the spring to remove twang or any crunchiness. IMO...

    HW/Weihrauch Finished My Custom Lefty HW95

    - Beautiful work Razor - I have no problem with the mechanical aspect of tuning Airguns or refinishing stocks, adding butt pads or pistol grip caps. However, I had planned to make my own stocks and checker them. After buying the checkering tools and practicing, I realized my eyes cannot...
