    Tuning Hw50s vortek HO kit

    Looking to install a HO Vortek kit in my HW50. I've read that the power could be adjusted to a degree. I would like to have my HW 50 shooting just under 12 ft lbs. Probably in the 10 to 11 ft lb range. Is this possible with the Vortek HO kit? Also, does the ARH kit have any adjustability to...

    Shot Cycle of R7/HW30

    Thanks Fischer for the advice. I'm retiring and have already graduated to the big boy rifles. I actually have an R1, HW 98 and a HW 77, all .20 cal. I've developed a physical strength medical issue and finding it very difficult to cock and shoot the more powerful rifles. So, l still want to...

    Shot Cycle of R7/HW30

    About to pick up either a Beeman R7 or Weirauch HW30. Does the rifle have a smooth shot cycle without a buzz to it? I see that some people have installed a Vortek kit in it. Is that necessary to smooth it out or enhance performance? Primarily will be used for small pests inside 25 yards. I...

    Tuning FWB 124 sport rear sight

    Yes l have. Have a FWB 300 and a HW 55 with peep sights but l'm finding them more difficult to use. Open sights are a lot easier and faster to use for me.

    Tuning FWB 124 sport rear sight

    Just got my FWB 124 back from a tune and the rear sight was broken off in 4 pieces. I understand that the parts for the 124 are not made anymore. Does anyone know of an aftermarket open sight that can be used. Prefer not to use a peep sight because of my eyes. Thanks, John

    Oxidized pellets

    I have some older boxes of pellets that were opened and used from time to time. A couple of boxes have oxidized and have a whitish coating on them. Are they safe to use? Can they be cleaned and restored?

    Red Dot with magnification vs low power scope

    Thanks for the advise. A friend is letting me try his red dot to see if will work in my situation. Going to also look at some low powered scopes. I think Hawke, Clearidge and UTG has some.

    Red Dot with magnification vs low power scope

    Wondering if someone could recommend a red dot with any magnification. 4 power would be adequate. Most of my shooting is within 40 yards. And how accurate is it to use a red dot compared to a low powered scope. I like the compact size of a red dot and/or a low powered scope. I have an older...

    Compressor Recommendation for air tank

    I've been trolling through this topic for days trying to find a compressor UNDER 1k to fill a standard large scuba tank. I believe mine is around 77 cu ft. All l need to do is just top it off maybe once or twice a year. I don't shoot that much but it's a pain to go to a scuba shop to have it...
