Good stuff! You are a fortunate father. Cheers, J~

Welcome! If you're not interested in all the extra equipment that a PCP entails, consider a co2 powered gun. Also, you can't hold a springer the same way you would a 30.06 and get good results. If you look up "artillary hold" it will cover what's necessary to be accurate when shooting a...

Jalan, If you live close enough, I have one that you're welcome to come and get. I had set it aside for a neighbor's kid, but he's turned out to be quite the turd. (I caught him chucking rocks at one of my pooches, among other things.) It could probably use refreshing, but will serve the...

Here are the relevant data sheets. - https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/safety-data-sheets/ Here's one for water. - https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1881474.pdf And one for oxygen... - https://www.airgas.com/msds/001043.pdf It's a hazardous world. Cheers, J~

This has always been a special day in my mind. I was priviliged to know a few of the men that crossed those beaches. Cheers, J~

I feel ya, Jalan. They are nothing near what they once were. But, some shopping around will likely turn an old one up. I see an old one every few weekends at the swap-meet. They usually need work, but parts are available and they aren't hard to rebuild. Cheers, J~

That's a nice example of a good rifle. I tend to go over the rust on the old ones with fine grade steel wool and a little WD-40. A little oil after that keeps them from continuing to rust. I like them to look their age. Nostalgia, I guess. Cheers, J~

^ That. Why poison the water for those that don't shoot like you do? WTF... Cheers, J~

Is there a pin in that rear scope mount? If it goes in the spring tube, it could be the problem. Pull the scope mounts off and see what happens. Cheers, J~

I remembered reading about them back in the nineties. Seemed like Beeman recommended using two at a time in springers. I don't do springers, so I didn't pay all that much attention to it. I know they're good in pumpers and co2 guns. Here's an article on their use. -...

There's some solid info here. - https://airgunwarriors.com/community/airgun-talk/markham-king-2236/ "The Daisy no. 101 and 102 represent the “Depression Era” BB guns that were first produced in 1933. They really were just the Markham King 2233 gun rebranded as a Daisy no. 101 model 33. The 500...

If the rifle you're interested in isn't as accurate as you want, it isn't all that expensive to have a better barrel (Like a Lothar-Walther) machined and installed. Cheers, J~

Very cool! I hadn't considered the Montgomery Ward angle. I guess that they didn't sell nearly as many of those as they did the K-Mart and other stores did. That makes them kind of rare. Cheers, J~

This says it all.
