    Diana Shout out to David Slade/ Airgunwerks

    Agree and a heck of a nice person. "Here have you ever shot one of these"? CG2, Daystate 2000 (borrowed that one for a match) the 1st this and that, have you tried a Laser Guide...? Know 1st hand why he is also refereed to as "The Trigger Man" and should mention Blueing! John

    Airforce What size is the valve port on the factory Escape UL ?

    As the subject lines ask's, what dia. spin-loc port comes with the factory issue AF Escape UL (and might be nice to know the long Escape too). Asking as I have the UL and was reading the classifieds (who the heck comes to the forum and cant leave w.out reading the classifieds even needing...

    My new airgun. Can you identify it by name?

    Not the look I prefer (nice wood and metal please) BUT, I do need one of those. Love airguns that will out shoot me. because I still have the "even a blind hog finds an acorn in a acre sometimes" shooting ability given the chance. Excellent shooting & cant wait for a full report on...

    TKO makes pretty good stuff. Much tighter clearance tolerances. Amazing units for the size and price! Not sure if you still can (requiring a phone call & wait) still get cal. specific but you did notice a difference if using a .177 or a .22 when shooting the .177. John

    Benjamin New Guy Questions.

    You can have it either way, with or without gauge depending on which unit you purchase. Personally never needed to either gauge (we didn't used to have them) But have always had an accurate fill gauge and the tiny ones generally are not. Your needs may be entirely different. And agree a...

    Anyone ever try something like this?

    Seems more of a slug sizer? Only something like that I have used is the Theoben ( do believe it was made by TR ROBB ?) pellet sizer. When use correctly you still had a difference between head and skirt dia. . Just looked to see if them even make them anymore and found this video...

    Karma Karma Red Panda Bench Model

    Back around 2005 we called then "spools" (ala ChrisK) and this can be done for any airgun. Designed correctly (and that is big) can increase both power and efficiency and that was w/out any adjustments available. John

    Just ordered a Marauder in .22

    Excellent rig. The 1st to offer user adjustable, mirror copied the Theoben trigger (look up removing torsion spring-many call lawyer spring) and you ordered the barrel so barring some fluke they would deal with Fast (thinking you have say JSN pellets) your in the money. Post up a full...

    Hawke Warranty Experience?

    Like we all said when they had been out 1 year. "They DO warranty scopes! " (joke eh?) And they do it fast and easy. Personally think the front A/O are the most problems and shipping doesn't seem as costly if you spent $500 on it , it's just for the bottom dollar scopes at some point you need...

    seems like people are hiding ?

    Silly people. Such "privacy" is a major reason the scammers thrive, and, from a true pro much less just someone at home can figure out where if not who who you are so no privacy. Happened to look at my "sent" email (or ya I've had the same email for 25 years, and one way or another the same...

    Air Arms Old Reliable

    I still have an old AA410 second own not sure of exact year but before 2003 when they changed the trigger (then shroud and?) . Never have replaced any o-rings (yes it is past time but). The new ones are certainly good rigs BUT personally I like to older ones better. The 2 vs 3 sear trigger is...

    sun shade question?

    NO dumb airgun question (well perhaps "what's the best airgun" with no other info given). You got it reduces glare when too close to the sun. What helps my old eye the most is a Bisley eye cup! If you haven't tried one, DO. John

    Who makes the best barrels for air rifles?

    Pardon the additional bump. Why has no one purchased the (original LD - not the second batch or the small batch an airgun maker I know had to through away -OUCH) Benchmark on the classifieds? Now I haven't because #1 no $$$ and 2 I can no longer shoot that well (at all). But people say...

    Other Air pistol silhouette shooters-assistance in identifying these?

    Look to sturdy to have not been home made ( saving $$$). Could it have been Mike Stempson (SP) , used to make such things but no more (?). Diablo may well still use similar and point you in the right direction. https://diablorodandgun.com/air-gun-silhouettes/ John

    Pellet sizers

    You could try a rounded pellet seater. Once upon a time Beeman sold them likely someone does. https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2006/12/beeman-pell-seat-does-it-work/ John

    Hawke Warranty Experience?

    Sure, Every hawke scope I've tried had to be sent in for warranty. After the original SR6, SR12 hawke designed by Nick Jenkins(sp)? with Japan glass came out a had dozen folks from the club grabbed one and within 1 year on the market everyone agreed, Hawke warranties more scopes than anyone...
