    My fx m3 and the random trip to home depot

    Profile stalking and reading past posts is your friend. In this case I’d offer a price based on the fact that the seller is sick of the gun and that it has a problem that scares him more than it does me. As long as a the agreed upon price reflected HIS level of intense dissatisfaction with the...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    I finished roughing out the clamp on stock for the 170cc air cylinder I adapted to the back of my .177 Panthera Hunter Compact. Still need to clean it up, bead blast it, and anodize. Credit for the idea goes to tdhouser. He may or may not have been the first, but his sweet Panthera was the first...

    What do you guys/gals think? ,your opinion wanted.

    I’m right handed but I can say that my Uragan 2 and Vulcan 3 are both very lefty friendly. No protruding mag and can be set up for right or left side cocking. Hell, even filling the guns can be done from either side. The U2 has a smoother shot cycle and cocking stroke than my V3 which is to be...

    Events 2025 Republic of Texas April 25-27

    One of these is not like the others… I know nothing about field target so I might be misreading the photo, but immediately like the guy shooting the Vixen in this photo and feel like we could be friends. 😁 Too bad I couldn’t make it out this weekend to observe. Seems like a good time.

    According to my wife, this is a trending thing?

    Yup, big full range one. At my 200 pound body weight they’ll run for well over an hour continuously as long as I’m up on the wing most of the time, and the wing I’m riding is an efficient one.

    HAPPY TURTLE DAY!!!

    For us in east Texas it’s as simple as the leaves on the hardwood trees, and pollen turning every horizontal surface yellow. In the blink of an eye, everything thing turns from brown to green and yellow. I live on a 200 acre lake and the turtles here will appear anytime we have a warming trend...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    I’m betting that he relieved the stock to allow that raised area on the Tactical’s plenum to clear rather than take material off of the plenum itself. I don’t have a DRS so I’m on the outside looking in here, but that seems the easier way to do it. Even though my mill would make short work of...

    I have been officially shut down!

    This. I was going to say, as others have said, that it’s time to go quiet and (figuratively) dark. Quiet the gun, quiet the backstop hide/relocate/camouflage the shooting position, and block direct view of the actual target from any angle other than from said shooting position. If you are caught...

    Recommend me a new gun

    So you survived the run in? Anyway, when you say “traditional” are you meaning traditional action forward style, or traditional action forward but with traditional rifle looks too. If the later, the DRS seems like a nice choice. For the former, I find the AGT Vixen intriguing as well as a Huben...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    This happened to me on an order fulfilled by Amazon. I posted a negative review on the Amazon fulfillment process and Vector stepped up and made it right. Being an Amazon seller myself I understand that Amazon is 85% to blame, but the seller bears some responsibility. After all, they/we chose to...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Enjoyed this barrel aged beauty while I browsed AGN and lamented the Sidewinder that I missed in the classified section. Oh yea, earlier this morning I finished the fixed QD fill port for my Uragan2 so that I don’t have to rely on probes for either of my AGT guns anymore.
