    For the newcomers on thinking this will be cheaper than powder burners.

    Inspired by this thread, I did a quick cost analysis on the various airguns I use. The 760s cost about a tenth of a cent a round for BBs. Swap-meet Crosman and Daisy pellets are a couple bucks a tin, so they're less than half a cent each. The real high dollar gun is the .22 QB78 with $7.00...

    Shooting Northern Lights

    Very cool! Glad that it wasn't as intense as the Carrington event of 1859. Telegraph operators got electrocuted and fires were started. Who knew? Chills, J~

    Benjamin VINTAGE BENJAMIN / SHORT 8 GRAM to LONG 12 GRAM CO2 / ADAPTER?

    This has the thread-count and size. It's all I've been able to find. You could have one made at a local machine shop for not a lot of money. I'd make it bigger and then bulk fill it for more shots. Cheers, J~

    What got you started?

    When I watched the older brother shoot a tin can with a neighbor's Daisy and realized that you could do something here and something really cool would happen all the way over there, I was hooked. I was five years old... When the same brother got a 760 for Christmas in '67, that really got it...

    For the newcomers on thinking this will be cheaper than powder burners.

    I dunno, man... I get a lot of enjoyment out of what I have. An old Blue Streak that I gave $75 for (although pellets are getting expensive.) A QB78 that's been both accurized and economized and a few vintage 760 Crosmans that give me a lot of satisfaction remembering time spent with the late...

    Crosman Vantage NP not holding bear trap?

    There's this. Worth a look. The Crosman Quest I have had a REALLY bad trigger. I improved it some. It's probably the same as the NP. https://www.airgundepot.com/vault/articles/the-famous-rather-the-infamous-crosman-trigger/ Then there's this. -...

    Airgun Depot Mystery Box Opinions

    I have a hard time understanding those that have such a deep need to subtract from the joy that those around them feel. But here we are... I guess that's why we have the "ignore" function. Still enjoying this thread, though. Lots of cool new stuff and people made happy with it. Extra...
