    My Haenel collection

    Before WW3 Haenel was a giant in the German arms industry. The plant was located in what became East Germany after the war. The communist government of that state tried to recreate Haenel, but the concept of quality was foreign to them. There was another attempt to recreate Haenel after...

    They were made by Snow Peak in China. They do not appear on Snow Peak's website. The last source was Mrodair, but the website no longer lists them and the website does not appear functional.

    The Hugh Hefner of airguns

    I received my first Beeman catalog in the early 1970s. Tempting though the ads were, I already had a Winchester 427 and Beeman's prices, although cheaper than Air Rifle Headquarters, were off-putting. In the early 1980s I was browsing through Shotgun News in a magazine store when an ad for BSF...

    Cheap guns!

    Wow, that's a toughie. I have been collecting since the early 1980s and bought many guns (almost all leakers) for $10 to $20. After thinking hard I have to say my favorite cheap rifle is the Apache I bought for $20 at a garage sale which, to my surprise and delight, was complete with BB...

    springer or gas piston ?

    I have two model IZH 38 rifles, made in the Soviet Union. One has the stock steel spring, the other an aftermarket gas spring. Both have the same replacement piston and breach seals. The gas spring gun has a crisper firing cycle, the steel spring version recoils softly, The gas spring gun...

    Beautiful, but not functional pellet pouch

    This Webley product seems like it should be great, but it requires three hands to operate: one to hold and squeeze it, one to remove the pellet for loading and one to hold the airgun. That is why it looks new - never used.

    Show me your custom “Budget “ break barrel.

    Not a break barrel, but definitely budget. The Snowpeak B3-1 cost about $50 new. I added a PRC (Peoples Republic of China) army muzzle brake and sling. The gun did not come with the later added scope mount, so I removed the open sight and installed a piece of aluminum dovetail scope mounting...
