    Daisy Cleaning a Daisy Barrel

    Model 25, 111, Red Ryder, and 499. My question is finding something small enough to push down the barrel and keep a cleaning patch from falling off. From the previous post, I guess if I just had a rod that was small enough in diameter, I could push some felt cleaning patches down. Not sure if I...

    N/A What’s your favorite springer?

    I like my HW 35E with vortex kit. It's gorgeous, and the stock is just perfect for shooting with iron sights. Next is my scoped FWB 124D, and then my HW 30 with peep sight.

    Retired members here?

    Retired at 60. Volunteer as a veteran hospice visitor and with Engineers without Borders. The biggest effort is to lose some weight and improve my health. Want to collect more airguns and shoot more often. Finally got all the airguns I wanted as a kid.

    Indoor Target Backstop?

    Cardboard box stuffed with Rags. Change out box when no place to staple paper targets. Sort out BBs with a magnet and dump the lead in a container. I have a board behind it in case any pellets get through the box.

    Hawke 4-12x40 AO and an HW95 a good set-up?

    I would go up in magnification, as the top magnification on some scopes is not that clear and harder to find the full image. I have a 6x24 on my FWB 124D. The clarity of the image and ease of finding the full image starts to diminish after 18X.

    new to guns, need purchase recommendations

    I haven't hunted crows with a pellet gun, but I would be fine at 50 yards for crows with my RWS 350 (177) or Xisco B28 (22). Was getting 2" 3 shot groups at 80 yards say 3 out of 5 times, with the Xisco B28. I have killed squirrels at 50 yards with the Xisco B28, and crows should be easier to...

    new to guns, need purchase recommendations

    My concern when shooting a 22 rimfire in the air is where it will land. I guess if there is no resident within 1.5 miles,it is OK. Range is shorter with a short or subsonic, but still pretty far. That is why I use a 177 or 22 cal springer.

    Diana Consistency problems Diana 340 N-Tec

    Make sure you are shooting the artillery hold. Also, make sure your hand locations, cheek weld, and pressure are consistent from shot to shot. I have had to experiment with several different holds and remember the hold each time to get my FWB 124D shooting well.
