    general info

    I recently bought a FX Leopard and before I received it, I had an epiphany. As with all rifles one of the first things I do is clean the barrel. Most of the air rifles I have owned you could remove the barrel or break barrels so no problem however, the Leopard is different and new to me. I...

    Rediscovering Precision: How the Kalibrgun Snipe II Changed My Mind About High-End Air Rifles

    For years, I was convinced that the performance gap between mid-tier and premium air rifles wasn’t significant enough to justify the price.

    American Air Arms Any skilled machinist out there?

    There is a good chance the O-ring got cut at the port when the valve was installed and is the first thing I would replace if you want to try and reseal the rifle. The damage on the wall is affecting the seal for holding air. Try to include some photos of the valve to show damage from the screws...

    Introducing myself - asking for advice on a new airgun while I'm at it.
