There is no information on the Internet about making one's own steel balls (shot) especially for air shotguns so I wanted to ask of a possible technique, and propose my own. Making Lead shot is easy but steel requires melting to high temperatures in order to use the same techniques as making...

The front of the barrel rests on the frame of the window, and the buttstock is against my cheek or shoulder, while I hold the pistol grip.

It might be the barrel and breech shifting, but the breech looks secure enough. To answer one of your questions,, the breech is the plastic factory breech, and I press on the breech / barrel when pumping, so it is possible that both might be shifting slightly, and also disorganizing the air...

I have a Crosman 1377 air pistol converted to an air rifle by adding a longer barrel, and I added a makeshift butt-stock. It was shooting fine for the week that I used it, it shot right where I aimed with the sights, One day I fired a few shots then put it down, then the next day I picked it up...

I may consider starting a youtube channel showing videos of my activities. I will bring with me enough pellets for a few years but I am simply preparing for the event that I do run out. I have no friends to be sending me pellets while I'm away, I think car batteries and solder (lead and...

I can get or make molds, but pure lead is a bit hard to come by there, except from lead acid batteries. Another reason for not using pure lead is because lead is toxic for the environment.

I am going to move to a place in a third world country and I'm going to stay there for a long time to hunt. So I can only carry so many pellets and I'll eventually run out. Since they don't sell pellets over there, I was considering making my own. So I want to ask how effective are airgun...
