    Please Explain

    Gotta laugh at that, several months ago on a Sunday, I had something blown in my eye in a parking lot. Just happened to be an eye doctor there walking out of the store. He saw me tearing up badly and introduced himself, looked at my eye and said to come with him to his office, closed on...

    Skunks

    I see a lot of people saying live trap = spray. Not in my experience or those that taught me. I've trapped and dispatched close to a dozen next to my house, never sprayed, the people that taught me have been doing it for decades without one spray. Skunks don't spray when they drown, may sound...

    If the the HPA passes and suppressors are removed from the NFA…

    Just to be clear, current state they are firearms under federal law, once you get your tax stamp, you still have to do a 4473 form, either on paper or electronically to take possession, the tax stamp serves as the NICS check so no waiting. The tax stamp just allows you to do the 4473 on a new...

    HPA Compressor Crossroads…?🙈

    Yes you can, with 99% certainty. If you can't, well...... Parts are available and expensive, your description of that compressor you "fixed" and sold, I would not touch it for more than the cost of a good one minus all parts that may be needed to fix it correctly. In my opinion, you did a...

    If the the HPA passes and suppressors are removed from the NFA…

    Of the two possibilities of it passing, one leaves them under the NFA but has a 0 dollar tax and form 4473 modified wording to make it applicable to them under that circumstance(it's a tax law thing). The other is to make them "firearms" and transfer on a standard 4473, senate rules are funny...

    completely off topic, anyone know about propane tanks?

    I was going to grill some ribs tonight, turned on the grill to heat it up and when I went back outside it was off, no problem the tank was getting low and it burned it’s last propane while heating up. Hooked up new tank I had filled a month or so ago which is the same tank that was on the grill...

    HPA Compressor Crossroads…?🙈

    About the same time period for me. Those 1500 dollar used Bauers back then were not bargains, they were used/abused and needed rebuilding whether the ebay ads said that or not. I sent a lot of messages on ebay to those people with direct technical questions and never got one response, they...

    Other Gem shotgun

    #12 shot works very well on carpenter bees, it takes next to nothing to kill them. My setup will not penetrate through your typical one sheet of shipping box cardboard at 2 feet, half the shot bounces off, and about half is in the interior of the cardboard layers. It will not leave a mark on...

    Umarex Underrated?

    I thought about that myself a few years ago when I considered buying something to launch arrows, decided against it mostly because of how loud they are, someone I know bought one with a barrel the arrow slides over, ungodly loud. Other than that it worked great. If you are than handy sort, you...

    Gx filter is here

    Not wrong at all, check the real science from manufacturer's of breathing air compressors and filters. Check the labs that certify breathing air, research a little and don't be stupid. It is absolutely scientifically documented.

    Gx filter is here

    it looks like those are molecular sieve beads and are in direct contact with metal, if so that is a huge fail, in short order corrosion will be seen on the metal in contact. Piss poor design, and won't last.

    97 cubic foot tank or 4500 air compressor for being a couple hundred miles away from civilization 2000 to 3,000 shots per day thank you

    I have, many times until a friend of mine died. Wasn't uncommon for the two of us to go through 20k rounds in a day, and if half the sheriff's office was there a lot more. PB's, full auto, from thompson's up to a 30 cal mini gun and an electrically operated quad 50 cal. Good times. Air...

    How fast do 30 cal slugs have to go in order to stabilize?

    @Ballisticboy , I can think of several projectiles and twist rates that absolutely are opposite of what you just said. One example, 8 twist, nosler 30 cal ballistic tip, launch at under 900 fps and guaranteed it will yaw horribly and make an open choke shotgun look like the most precision...

    Squirrel taxidermy

    It wouldn't be, never crossed my mind someone would want one as a trophy. Squirrel=rat to me... Legal where I live to slaughter them year round if threat to my home, with 2 pecan trees close enough to my house they could jump from the trunk to my roof, that is all I need. I shoot them as...

    Squirrel taxidermy

    2x4 set up as a 45 degree ramp up a tree trunk, rat trap screwed to it, a few peanutes(in shell or not) on 2x4, one on rat trap trigger. Dead squirrel, open jaws trap take pristine squirrel to taxidermist.

    Chronograph Madness

    @Gwhite, cut those degrees by about 1/10th and you are in the sweet spot, and it makes a massive difference. Literally, a 2.5 foot error in aiming the center of the beam at a target 100 yards away drops the radar return by several orders of magnitude. If you have never seen your SNR hit 40 or...

    Chronograph Madness

    @AlanMcD SNR is more complicated than just a value. For instance, you mentioned a SNR below 25 in your situation can easily lead to be bad data. At my good range at home, I need near an order of magnitude better than that (27), and on my bad range at home I need a SNR of 30-32+ to get good...

    What gun, what criteria?

    I'd have to disagree, it is a choice not to know and that says a lot about the person in my book. That was me in 1995, the part of wanting an air rifle, not the rest. I probably already had 30+ firearms, most high end and I could not use any for what I wanted to accomplish. I knew what was...

    N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?

    And a slug is what? Let me help you there..... 32.17404 lb, wow, gravity again.... How do you think it is derived. Whenever science talks about weight, it is all based on gravity, full stop. It doesn't matter what units they use. There is no weight without gravity, and standard gravity is...

    Chronograph Madness

    ...on my bad range if my aim were off 2.5 feet at that distance I would not get any good data, and lots of no tracks. Interference can be a real b*tch, and infinitely worse if you are not shooting through center of beam on labradar. FYI, I love my Labradar and wish I hadn't waited to buy it...
