    Crosman 2100 Barrel Surface Rust

    I neighbor gave me a Crosman 2100 Classic. The outside of the barrel has very bad surface rust and pitting. My goal is to make this as presentable as possible. An old timer once told me to clean rust off a classic car bumper was to use bunched up tin foil and WD 40 as a lube and rub that on the...

    Leading In A Barrel

    I shoot my rifle in league shooting and for occasional plinking. I use different pellets for each. Don't want to burn up my competition pellets for plinking. If I use shoot competition pellets in league shooting, then switch and shoot "junk" pellets for plinking, and then switch back to...

    Benjamin Loading A Benjamin Marauder Rifle

    I am thinking about getting a Benjamin Marauder rifle in .177. With these old eyes I definitely need a scope. I see that the loading port for the pellet would be right under the scope. I would be loading 1 pellet at a time, not using a magazine, so my question is how hard is it to load 1 pellet...

    Benjamin Benjamin Franklin 317 arrived today

    Could you please tell me how you came up with that date? What research method do you use? I did some internet searching and could not pin down a manufacture date. As stated, there is no serial number anywhere. I would like to know for future research on other air guns. Thanks!

    Benjamin Benjamin Franklin 317 arrived today

    Yes, it does have the "AIR HOLE DON'T OIL" hole. And when you were a kid, you always put oil in the "AIR HOLE DON'T OIL" hole just to see what would happen!!

    Benjamin Benjamin Franklin 317 arrived today

    I have my grandfather's 317 from when he was a child. So I would think the rifle is from the 1920's, maybe. I replaced the leather pump cup and it shoots very strong. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. The rifle is all original except for the leather pump cup. Fantastic patina...

    Sorting

    New to this pellet sorting thing. I was given a bunch of cheap tins of pellets and have found that some of the pellet skirts are too large. I don't know if it is worth my time to go through them, but I hate to just throw theses tins out. I would say, 1 out of every 5 are too large. Exactly how...

    To Scope Cover Or Not

    Most of my rifles have scopes on them. They are all kept on a horizontal tabletop rifle rack. When not in use, they are covered with a soft sheet to keep the dust off them. I do not keep my scope covers on when they are on the rack or transporting them to the range in a dimpled foam hard case. I...

    Ordering Pellets In Cold Weather

    I live in Wisconsin and just ordered some pellets. I was wondering if they deliver these pellets when let's say it is 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and then bring them into a house that is 70 degrees Fahrenheit, do I have to worry about condensation forming inside the pellet tins? Is this an...
