Interesting stuff. They advertised it at a 700-fps velocity. The Tim McMurray redesign known as the Sportsman QB77 delivered significanly higher velocities and even better accuracy. Cheers, J~

That seems wise. These days... Perhaps an air-tag (or trackable cell-phone) within the package would be even better. Cheers, J~

Okay. I respect your right to be appalled. Cheers, J~

Plastic degrades in time. I don't see a reason to complain about it. It is what it is. I plan my purchases accordingly. Cheers, J~

Tim will take good care of it for you. It sounds as if there's a problem with the pump cup. It's either no longer sealing or has come loose in the tube. Cheers, J~

Thanks for looking in. Happy to hear that! Give the barrel a good cleaning and I think you'll be surprised at how accurate it is with modern pellets. Cheers, J~

I largely agree with the OP on this. (Pun intended.) My (little) brother bought a springer that's purported to hit 1400-fps and he can't shoot it for beans. Makes me laugh, but more is better in his big mind... I think it comes down to the feel of it. People need to feel that they have more...

Happy Independence Day, everyone! J~

I use 000-grade steel wool, elbow grease, and WD-40. It takes a while but it works. The pitting is there to stay, but if the rifle shoots, that doesn't matter much. Cheers, J~

I don't see a way to mount a clamp-on to the 392 Benjamin. Perhaps with an extension on the barrel? Craigslist and marketplace are good sources for more traditional models. I like my Caldwell. Cheers, J~

Nice! No scope grooves on the receiver and a squared stock at the tang? If so, it's a first-gen model. Cheers, J~

^ That. It's been my experience that velocity doesn't make a huge difference in how accurate a pellet will be unless serious cross-winds are involved. Bolting the (PCP or Co2) gun securely to a bench, then shooting five five-shot groups at a given distance will give you a very good idea of...

I imagine that regulations, taxes, and the cost of living in your state have quite a bit to do with it. Here in N.C., an eye exam and two pairs of eyeglasses were less than $250 a couple of years ago. But then, I negotiated and paid cash. I did the same when out there, but they weren't nearly...

Now... That looks like a fun gun to shoot! None of the problems with the high cost of pellets, pellet-picky magazines, inaccurate barrels, accidental double feeds, loud muzzle cracks annoying the neighbors, no pumping necessary, nor is there a need to mess with a compressor, nitrogen or co2...

Wow. That was a LOT of work! Interesting findings, too. Thanks. It loads just fine with LibreCalc on Linux Mint. I figured the Sheridan would be up there. (I still favor the Crosman 760 for sentimental reasons.) Cheers, J~

I haven't worked on that particular pistol so I can't offer much in the way of guidance, but I found the owners manual. It has the parts list as well. There's some good information there. Youtube may have some info that will be of help, too. I do know that regular rubber o-rings don't work...

^ I feel ya. I saw a few things in over twenty years working as an environmental consultant. I did a few stints in industrial hygiene as well. 'Dose makes the poison.' Controlling exposure as much as possible is one of the keys, but then you know that. The PEL (permissable exposure limit)...

I ran across an original in a catalog earlier. This is the one my brother had in '67. Those were the days... Cheers, J~

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...
