Reminds me of the old story of the "mechanic" buying parts for a brake job. He tells the counter guy that its a 1980 Ford, and he needs parts. The make and model was made with both disc and drum brakes, depending on specific trim. So the counter guy asks, "do you need caliper pads or brake...

The one you shoot the best. It's very subjective, and any quality rifle is sufficiently accurate to be a 50 yard squirrel gun. My choice might be a terrible option for you. Do the work and make your decision. The journey is often more fun than the destination.

You might be confusing a shroud with a sleeve. Sleeves typically accommodate either a liner or thin barrel. It is a necessary component to house a liner, and it can add stiffness to a thin barrel (the value of which could be debated relative to air rifles). Shrouds are usually part of a sound...

You need to adjust the second stage screw now to get the sear to engage. I can't remember for sure which way to turn it, but I think clockwise. You have only two choices, so turn it until it works. When you get it to engage, it will probably have some creep, so you'll need to back off a bit to...

I store my PCP rifles either horizontal or barrel up, with pressure. If regulated, the pressure is above the set point.

I would find your BR technique very fatigue-inducing quickly, but, whatever works.... Position shooting involves a lot of anatomical considerations that aren't applicable at the bench. But to your question, yes, I find that some elbow padding is very comfortable.

Assuming the "power adjuster" is similar to that on the Sniper, it's a bit gimicky. It just restricts the air flow at the TP. It saves a bit of air, but isn't comparable to a proper lower power tuning. The trigger is very basic, and its adjustability can't compare to a more complex (and...

You should not need to change barrels. The original, solid ST barrels are, IMO, the best thing FX has ever produced. 20 fpe is standard power and should shoot very well in your Royale 400.

The only change I've made to my HW100 carbine is the tuning. I found a good balance of reg setting and HST for a power of just under 12 fpe. I believe this is the power level of the original design, and it shows. Any concern about shot count disappears, and it is a gem of a backyard rifle at...

My general rule is to limit my distance to the maximum at which I can shoot average 1" groups. I shoot only standard power rifles, so killing power is also a factor. So, my limit is usually 50 yards or so.

I think the many lubes available are confusing as it relates to silicone. For example, the Super Lube Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease does not contain silicone, although it is routinely confused with the company's silicone based grease. I've decided to err on the conservative side and just don't...

I think it is generally agreed that a small amount of silicone is fine on O rings that need lube (some do not). The "bad press" on silicone comes from its misuse as a metal-to-metal lube, something for which it is not designed. This can also occur if silicone is used (especially over used) in...

Even Declared Value coverage is limited to the lesser of replacement, repair, or depreciated market value. Even after the slow, frustrating process of dealing with a claim, you will always be limited in your actual recovery. If you want protection, look at third-party insurance.

That doesn't look like anything that Martin would install. And there appears to be an abundance of epoxy holding it on. Some epoxy will break free if frozen overnight. Otherwise, heat.

This type has worked for me. After several years, I've never seen a squirrel defeat it. Plenty have hopped on, but their weight shuts the feed door. Sometimes, if one is persistent, a permanent fix may be needed, but I haven't lost any feed to them.

mo' money, mo' money!

As I understand it, silicone is a synthetic product that can be introduced into various substances, i.e., grease, oil, etc. I assume that it's properties are essentially the same in each circumstance, and that avoiding metal-to-metal contact is consistent advice. It's use in HPA/heat...

I've had a couple of conversations with a very well respected air rifle maker. He told me to never, ever use silicone on his air rifles. His primary issue was the seizing of metal parts that can be caused by silicone if used in a high temp/high pressure environment. With that information, along...

You might need to rethink your expectations. The best barrel in the world will not shoot crappy pellets. So, if you have cabinet full of leftovers and culls, I think it is unlikely that you will find a rifle that "slings" them all sub MOA! But good luck in your search.
