Would oxygen tanks be useable (emptied of oxygen and filled with air of course) to charge PCP guns? I can get a bunch of them. I don't own a PCP guns yet, but I might soon.

I wish there was an affordable replica (or tribute) available. Probably never happen though.

I have enough guns that need fixing, don't need more like 'em.

Just country boys a little behind the times. They sell a lot of vintage and antique firearms and related supplies and have a steady repair business so they see no need to change.

Someone wanted to know the location of the gun shop, since I passed on the two. The shop is a father & son operation that operates on cash only. They do not take cards or checks, so no mailing or shipping. The only way to shop there would be to drive to western NC. I do not know what exactly the...

I went and looked again. The shop owner told me they both have issues. I passed.

P.M. sent.

I'm thinking about buying my first (used) Benjamin multi pumper, guessing it's from the 80s or 90s, wood stocked gun, looks like new, in .177 caliber. I can't believe I've never had one. I've been shooting air guns for 50+ years. I've been watching vids and reading about them for a few days now...

Good to know. I believe I'll go back and get the model 55, maybe the Benjamin too. The same shop has a Benjamin NP2 without scope, withopen sights I think, that is priced at $150. It is like new but I already have one, with a decent scope so I don't need it.

The local gun shop, that deals mostly in muzzleloaders and other vintage firearms, also gets in air guns occasionally. I have bought several there. Currently they have two I have handled and thought about, however I think they are a little high on the prices and will not negotiate. Both guns are...

It looks a lot, almost exactly, like my newly purchased Daisy model 120. Mine would not shoot a pellet out of the barrel without recocking it and firing it a second time until I cleaned and oiled it. My Daisy 120 appears to have the same sight issue.

After spraying the bore with some automotive brake cleaner and a little oil it shoots every time now. I put a little oil in the hole behind the breech also. Shooting offhand standing from 12-15 yards, it shoots 2-3 inches low but groups well. Tomorrow I will shoot off a rest and adjust the sights.

I've been thinking about inventorying/cataloging my collection. I have 20-25 handguns and probably 25-30 longguns. And I just talking about my airguns here. I'm also into black powder firearms and .22 rimfire guns as well.

Here's s the look I'm after. I will make the stock look like this. If I use the Chinese gun I will have to make some modifications for the side lever. I like the way the Chinese guns works & shoots so well I might find another gun to use for this project.
