    Beeman I couldn't resist 🤪(Update it's finally here)

    I usually buy my pellets from Pyrimyd Air or Airgun Depot, back about a year or so ago none of the bigger venders had any .20 cal. pellets, then I got a PM from a forum member suggesting I try Trainor Air gun Supply Co., they had some and at the regular retail not the inflated prices the other...

    Ruger Impact Max

    The Ruger Impact Max Elite is a great budget priced air rifle IF you smooth out the trigger and replace the junk scope that comes with the rifle from the factory. I purchased mine about six years ago, I modded the trigger with a lighter spring and pot a UTG Bug Buster variable scope on it, it...

    Beeman I couldn't resist 🤪(Update it's finally here)

    There is plenty of .20 cal. pellets available now (now is the operative word here), however that wasn't the case six months ago or for some times before that, that's why air gunners who contemplate including their air guns a foraging tools in their emergency stores almost always recommend...

    Beeman I couldn't resist 🤪(Update it's finally here)

    Congrats, I was fortunate to find a Weirauch version, the HW-80K (Carbine) in .20 caliber, my advice is to find a pellet it likes ASAP and buy a bunch of them, I have two .20 caliber air rifles among a dozen or so ,17 and .22 cal. air rifles and IMHO the .20 is my favorite all around caliber air...

    Crosman Crosman Vantage NP conversion

    Sorry about the lateness of my answer, No, I didn't go with a longer trigger screw, I found a U-Tube video that showed tow mods using bearings, the first used a small ball bearing from a roller blade skate, the second was a bearing cut from the barrel of a plastic ball point pen. I didn't have...

    Crosman Crosman Vantage NP conversion

    Yes, most air rifles of the same make and model use the same power system between calibers with a few exceptions in the higher priced and larger calibers. However, I question the practicality, a new barrel/breech block, and sights, if one is available is likely to cost close to what you can buy...

    Beeman More .20 R-9 pellet info

    I haven't noticed any shortage of .20 cal. pellets either lately, I just wish there was a greater variety, but then again the .20 is not as popular as it once was, especially now that some of the popular quality air gun makers are discontinuing the .20 from their offerings. I have vintage Blue...

Swarm 10 shot...

    Beeman More .20 R-9 pellet info

    During Covid there was a shortage of .20 cal. pellets at most of the Air gun venders, but I bought all I needed and then some at regular retail cost from Trainer Air Gun supply, the few venders that had some were asking up to $35.00 per tin, I paid $16.00 for tins of 500 ct. My last order from...

    Gamo Bone Collector speed test

    Thanks for the reply, I wish you good luck with trying to up the velocity, so far I haven't talked to anyone that has tried to rebuild or tune one of the Bone collectors, I bought mine new about six years ago, my adult son is into air guns and he liked the looks of mine and bought the second...

    Gamo Bone Collector speed test

    First off, very few manufacturers tell you the truth about velocity and accuracy, while it may be technically the truth that they got 1100 FPS out of their test rifle, but they don't tell you that it was the best of many tests using the lightest pellets and in the best clinical windless...

    Other Sad stats for springers

    Other Sad stats for springers

    I like my springers, but also enjoy my gas piston air rifles as well, I'm a life long hunter and recreational/competitive shooter, until about six years ago all of my shooting was Rimfire, Centerfire, and muzzle loading arms, but when the prices began to soar on guns and ammo, and both were in...

    What pistol did you shoot today

    I shot two of my replica Co2 air pistols, first was my Umarex Beretta mod. 92 FS in .177 caliber pellet, the second is my Glock model 19 Gen 5 blow back BB pistol, both shot wonderfully at 10 meters, yah, I know they aren't Huben's or some other big ticket air pistols but they are fun and good...

    Other Death of the springer

    joe9090 I'm sorry to hear that you're down on the air gun industry, but if there's one thing I've learned in my long life it's that just about everything changes over time, some not for the good, but most things change for the better, but it usually at the loss of some little thing, take my...

    Beeman Experience with the beeman r9 for hunting?

    Thanks for the correction my friend I didn't know that AGOA had their own warrantee, I do believe that Weirauch's warrantee is only one year. FYI, both my R-7 and R-9 Elites came from P/A with the standard Weirauch rear fully adjustable sights and the front globe sights with multiple sight...

    Beeman Experience with the beeman r9 for hunting?

    I purchased my Beaman R-9 from Pyramyd Air about 18 months ago, I purchased the Elite R-9, it comes with a good Mantis variable power AO scope, I also purchased the scope mounting and sighting in and the 10 for 10 test for performance and accuracy, it also came with the velocity results for each...

    Diana Diana mod. 250 (two fifty) .177 cal. air rifle

    Thank you, you're right of course, we all choose the path that we think is best for ourselves, what ever path we choose and what ever decision we make to satisfy that quest is our own and it only has to serve our own needs. And yes, I am pleased with the Diana two fifty, but if I had to put an...
