    Sig Sauer Inside the ASP20: Teardown and Specs

    It's a good thing for air gunning that someone finally tore into one. I realize owners love them and always gush about what an excellent, well built and seriously accurate rifle they are. Sadly, they had a couple downfalls: they refused to sell parts and the only thing you could touch on the...

    Hatsan Flash .25 cal

    Yep. My .25 Flashpup is unregged and I can get almost 4 mags from it. A lot of shooters from CA here, might not hurt to ask who might be and close enough and willing to help sort things in person.

    HW/Weihrauch Walnut hw97 are in at aoa...

    Definitely a fan of Walnut but never had an itch for an underlever, so I'll leave them there for all of you. Seeing fellow shooters getting a new rifle is always a good thing, just make sure you take lots of pics and post them here. Already have the stack of .20 cal pellets and then some...lol.

    Need a new gun.

    Right off the bat, if your rifle kicks hard than a .22lr, it might well just need a good tweaking/lubing of the insides. Plenty of info here on how to go about it and there are likely a few members here that live somewhere close to you that would happily help. Only break barrel I've owned in 50...

    Show me your first gun.

    First I was 12, maybe 13 and a Marksman 740 I got for Christmas in the mid 70's. Fast forward a lot of years to 2015, needed a quiet way to get rid of a racoon in my father's back yard and bought a Hatsan Model 95 .25 caliber. Still have that one 9 years later (plus a LOT of others). Not quite...

    A pellet I would love to see produced

    How about .25 cal springer shooters? Seen any number of owners, me being one, that would love to see a wadcutter in .25 again for short range pesting. By all means make some very heavy rounds like Manny would like to see but for springers, say something between 22-24gr?? H&N used to make the...

    HW/Weihrauch Decision Time - .20 HW77K vs .22 HW77

    H&N at the time said it was issues with the company that makes the pellet tins for them. Buy 2 tins at current prices and it's more than a single tin of 500 used to sell for, but the same could be said for pretty much every other brand out there considering the rise in pellet prices the last...

    HW/Weihrauch Decision Time - .20 HW77K vs .22 HW77

    You might actually talk to Krale when the time comes about special ordering you something in .20 just to see what kind of pricing they'll give you on it vs ordering from AoA and all the associated extra costs. You'll probably have more than a bit of waiting time, but time to save for it. I'm...

    JTS Deadcenter ammo .20 cal

    For the crew at JTS, found these surfing Ebay. Listed weight was 11.87gr. Made and discontinued before I got into .20 caliber so hopefully anyone reading and got to shoot them will chime in.

    N/A Cheapest one piece dovetail droop compensating mount.

    BKL does, but almost $60. Be easier to learn what's needed and how to do it and just bend your rifle barrels where needed.

    Sig Sauer Inside the ASP20: Teardown and Specs

    Ask Hector. You might get lucky and he'll tell you who made them for Diana.

    Sig Sauer Inside the ASP20: Teardown and Specs

    That gas piston looks very similar to the NTEC rams Diana uses that also have a rear pin.

    JTS Deadcenter ammo .20 cal

    Crosman Premier .20's haven't been made since something like 2005 and Crosman has no interest in bringing them back. They got mentioned in the thread because they were such a great pellet, shooters would like to see them come back and maybe JTS could potentially make a solid replacement if they...

    Theoben All in on .20

    Father always said "Gonna do something, don't do it half @ssed"...lol. Been that way with .20 cal owning now 10 and always looking. Someday I'm hoping to be as lucky as the OP and add a CM, a Beeman RX or 2 and a Theoben or 2 to the current collection. Looking forward to pics and a write up...

    Best deal on a decent scope?

    The Vantage, whether 2-7 or 3-9, for an inexpensive rifle are decent scopes for the money. I have both and got mine with the IR for the etched glass reticles and they've all held up very nicely on my springers, some going on 7-8 years now. Also have the step up with the Airmax scopes and have...
