    "What IS it with you old guys "?

    Had a red ryder at 7... then a Sheridan at 9. Learned not to shoot anything I wasn't gonna eat back then. Then the family joined the foreign service in '61 so I was a slingshoteer for 2 decades in various places, then shot arrows for a couple more; and a flintlock. But I finally got serious...

    Now I need another 1740

    So I just scored 4K+ .177 premiers. But all I have is one really old favorite 1740 and a Webley Hurricane in need of a tune. Everything else is .22. OMG it's time for another shooter. I have enough parts to build something, but the trigger groups are definitely ancient. Ah, the never ending...

    Tuning Tuner needed for Beeman Hurricane and C1 [Houston area?]

    Hello... My Beemans [Hurricane and C-1] are both getting old... already replaced cracked and rotted breach seals. But they both deserve/need a real tune/clean/lube beyound my amateur skills. I'm in Houston where there used to be a good guy that did my R-1 and Hy-score but lost track of him...
