    Avenger magazine stuck (I'm a newbie too)

    ladyblackhawk, One other thing to consider: I remember hearing that the Hoppes #9 solvent can erode the orings, a better choice is this stuff. Hoppes smells great, Ballistol not so much! I hope you get the rifle up and running again.

    Avenger magazine stuck (I'm a newbie too)

    I’ve done it too, and agree that it’s probably just a pellet part way in the breech and part way in the magazine. If there’s room for an exacto blade you might be able to work the pellet out of the magazine the rest of the way. Or possibly cut it in half and carefully work the magazine back and...

    Umarex Gauntlet 2 SL30 (Side Lever .30 cal) Full Review Video

    That’s a pretty impressive rifle Nate! Nothing quite like slinging that big of a chunk of lead with accuracy. Hats off to the gauntlet .30, it’s amazing how good airguns are getting, and for such a low price. Thanks for sharing the video Nate!

    Newbie here to air rifles

    Welcome to a great community of like minded folks! I too got into airguns because of a chipmunk infestation that had gone out of control. You have a great start with the Avenger and bug buster scope. I agree with the advice about setting up a target at the range you are going to be shooting the...

    Introduce myself

    Welcome to a really fun forum with a bunch of great folks! So sorry to hear about the loss of your nephew. I sent you a private message, but I’m not sure if you can do that yet without the required ten posts. I have an idea that you might like about a way to honor your nephew. Feel free to email...

    Show me your first gun.

    Cool! I forgot about those, my brother and I used to take off the suction cup and heated up a needle and pushed it down into the end of the dart for a more interesting projectile lol! They were a lot of fun, thanks for the memories 😊

    Pest control - RAW HM1000x or FX Crown

    I have both of those rifles and they are both very well made and accurate. The HM1000X is in my opinion the better quality rifle, it’s more robust and nothing about it is flimsy. Mine is a .22 and it can group under an inch at 100 yards. The Crown is just as accurate, but it isn’t as well built...

    Spring time in Montana

    I shot five nice groups at 100 yards this morning and they were good enough to go get pictures, but not in this weather lol! Edit: At least this will slow down the ticks!

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 and HW95 .20 or.25?

    Those rifles are simply mind blowing! Thanks for sharing. Edit: If I may ask where did you get the stocks? Just stunning!

    Nice work and just in time, it was obviously gathering itself up for a full on charge!

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 and HW95 .20 or.25?

    That’s a solid plan! There’s just something special about a quality springer. Even if they don’t get the one hole accuracy that some PCP rifles are capable of, they just somehow seem more alive or something. In a way they remind me of a Kentucky rifle in that there’s a couple steps to do before...

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 and HW95 .20 or.25?

    I have to choose the HW95N in .20 caliber. Although .22 would be just as good I imagine. The walnut is so nice with the oil finish, silky smooth to the touch, I got lucky with mine and got some figure in the wood. They are such nice rifles that it’s fun to just sit there and fondle it. If you’re...
