What strikes me the most about the design of these guns harkens back to the time of their inception. It was a time when tools , machinery and implements of everyday necessity were constructed out of the best quality materials with the mindset of it giving the consumer many years of service. That...

Well said... and beautiful rifles I might add.

Ouch!

I've always been attracted to anything that launched a projectile. You name it, bb/pellet guns, sling shots, traditional archery (never bought into compounds) all kinds of PBrs, rifles, pistols and shotguns. As many have pointed out ammo cost and availability became problematic. I've sold most...

The field tip is 175 gr if that matters and yes it does seem to work well

Well previously in this thread on page 1 I posted this remark... "So many guns and so little time, I'm sticking with my tried-and-true HW30s Deluxe in 177 and my HW50s in 20 caliber." I must confess to picking up a 35 on AoA's pre-owned site in .177. It came with the standard open sites and...

My Tempest

Welcome to the forum Steve. I don't own an airgun with a output of over 12 fpe. It's not by mandate or choice for that matter but rather what I like to shoot. I'm not fond of lugging around heavy guns and enjoy the simplicity of the spring-piston power plant. I don't hunt much but have had to...

I can't tell you how many times I've had that itch but I usually see something else I always wanted. Last time I ended up grabbing a HW35 instead. Happy for you.

I picked up a Santa Rosa variety in .20 caliber a couple of years ago

I use to have a friend who was into civil war re-enactment. He was always looking for soft lead resources. He unfortunately passed away years ago but I would imagine it wouldn't be too hard to make contact with like minded folks.

If I read this post a few months ago I would have said my HW50s in .20 cal. However since that time I have acquired a HW35 in .177 and have become quite fond of that positive breech lock. So my vote would be for the 35.

I have a good bakers dozen of air pistols but the two that I get to use most often are the umarex Buck Mark and the Crosman PSM45. The Buck Mark is a pellet gun and the Crosman a bb... and both are springers which for me is the best part. I keep them in my workshop and I will take a few shots...

It's sad to say but certain postal service hubs (not all) are a big contributor to those sort of problems.
