    HW44 vs Crosman 2240 @ 50 yards.

    HW looks like it’s been in a house fire compared to that magnificent 2240. Even Col. Whelen might be calling style points a thing at this current level of tactical Nice shooting Bio, but I can’t get past it

    2240 pcp w/barrel band. will it not float?

    A treasure trove of information! And it sounds like I’ll be needing every bit of it. While bought mainly for the look, It’s going to be doing some work, including tethered power shots until I know the gun. If it rattles about and won’t group at any speed, then it gets either some money or a nice...

    Well if a structural integrity thing... I’ll leave it on thank you for the explanation. knew there had to be a good one, but without hands on, a mystery

    Don’t actually own a 2240 pcp conversion yet, but I’m seeing a band on like 95% of your guns, so must be in most cases necessary I do feel it messes with that mid century modern, space gun esthetic though.

    2240 DESTROYER

    Wow! Appreciate all the replies! Good ideas and gorgeous guns. However, I am wanting a specific gun from this specific builder. Doesn’t really need to make perfect sense, the gun is just something I find particularly attractive at this time. Scott UPDATE: have heard from the builder. Will be...

    2240 DESTROYER

    Hello all, Would be my first air pistol in at least 55 years. Smitten, though knowing full well there are better choices that are easily obtainable. So what to do, wait for the magnum custom shop to find the time to build again? Think not because of the uncertainty in that and there’ll be...

    Air compressor

    I like the Air Venturi. It’s quick and also quiet if set on a mat. Low hours, but have had no problems other than the time I had a leak in my apparatus after the compressor and above 3500 which I wrongly thought for a time was the AV wimping out on me It is heavy

    Step into the Arena

    Which is obviously what the op is trying to encourage. Not the kind of one on one predator fest that i rudely injected.. airgun competitions are a place to become more well adjusted.not less. We’ve seen the ebr videos with all the gregarious personalities of this sport..but if you look down...

    Step into the Arena

    Of course you’re right. But some can carry baggage and associated personality disorders from other arenas, say tournament chess. Where you train constantly, drive hundreds of miles to a tournament you can’t afford to get home from unless you finish in the money, elo rating points...

    I’ve almost got my wife convinced that air guns are a good investment

    If it’s got the look and has an interesting, documented story, I for one will pay 5 to 20 times the builder’s cost. With the gun never to be seen again except by the occasional disinterested family member... I covet
