    Feedback cmatera gave me a gun for free!

    Cmatera asked me if I could use a crosman 2240 for my kid and offered to ship on his dime. I just got it and it was packed beautifully. Gun wrapped in a towel and packing peanuts. He also included all the paperwork and extra parts. I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate what this guy did...

    Mouse infestation at my new house and bb guns

    Recently bought 10 acres and a home in an oak and pine forest in Northern CA and after cleaning it up one night we went to bed and in the morning there was mouse droppings on the sink, floor, bed sheets and more. There seems to be a huge amount of them inside my house. Now I plan to seal holes...

    Pellet trap for Texan 45cal

     Hey guys. I use a cardboard box and shredded T shirts to catch pellets up to 25 cal but I recently bought a Texan 457 CF and I wanted to build a trap to catch the lead. Wondering if I could scale up to a much bigger box or if I have to get a steel trap. I don't really want to go with steel...

    Guys I couldn't be more proud.

    Dudes today my daughter who I have been teaching how to shoot since she was a wisp of a lass out shot me. It was fair and square and I didn't go easy on her. I bought this rifle from bigragu. It's a benjamin Sheridan 347. We were shooting 13.47 jsb pellets and long story short I got about a .3...

    .177 long may it reign!

    Ok guys so I want to give a shout out to my favorite caliber. Now if you asked 8 year old me it was all about 22 but after a few years of shooting pumpers I came to depend on the flatter shooting 177. When I got into springers as a teenager I thought ok now we are talking more power 177 is...

    Anyone here convert big bores into arrow fishing rigs?

    Wondering what guns and how they are set up for pneumatic spear fishing. In my state the laws are fuzzy on air powered spear fishing but I'm pretty sure it's legal for carp. Wondering how many of you are doing this and how you rig your gun to do it. My guess is pic rail and standard bass pro...

    My new to me Benjamin Franklin 347

    I recently picked up this Benjamin Franklin 347 from bigragu for 165 bucks. I feel like it was a good deal. Check out how good the finish still is on metal. I ran the serial number on a website and believe it's from the mid 70s. The stock has a bunch of scratches as expected but the seals have...

    Feedback Bigragu

    Met with bigragu today to buy his Benjamin Franklin pumper off him. He gave me a fair price and the gun is in excellent condition for being made in the 70's. I can definitely recommend him as a buyer and seller. I've known him on this site for a long time and finally got to meet face to face. I...

    Dad's 457 LSS CF came!

    Mine comes on Monday but my dad got his early! Looks like an absolute beast! I paired it for him with a sight mark citadel 3x18x50 FFP and we have several bullets to try. I bought NSA 340g and 405g and a 340g swaged bullet from Alco.... Not really impressed with those. The nose of each bullet...

    Questions about the new Texans

    Life span of Texan CF tank vs standard metal version

    Anyone know if the carbon fiber bottle has a shorter lifespan than the metal one? Just wondering if I can expect a long safe lifespan out of it. Couldn't find anything on the internet. Figured some of you guys might know.

    I love bsa the history and quality really give me the fizz. I am a little late to the party but as far as a sub 12 fpe gun goes it really does it for me.

    Getting dad back into airguns pays off! 💪

     My Dad bought me my first airgun against my mom's wishes when I was 8. It was a crosman 760 multipump if I remember correctly. Anyway I shot that gun until I had to rebuild it and then did it again. It finally got lost in a move and I was devastated. He picked me up my first springer shortly...

    Believe it or not the dragonfly 2 is the gun I'm most excited about

    Shot show 22 and with some new pcp airguns, arrow launchers and big bores the gun I'm most excited about is the air venturi dragonfly2. I used to do mods of all kinds to make pumpers more powerful but if I heard correctly the dragonfly can pump to 15 times and make somewhere around 15fpe! Small...

    Best Crosman bolt thread locker?

    Hey guys I have a slight problem and am seeking advice. My crosman guns all share 1 problem. The bolt always backs off the threads after so much use. I've tried nail polish which worked the best so far, I've used blue lock tight which worked for a few shots. My theory on that is that the threads...

    If you need a wood stock for hatsan at44 pm me.

    Hey guys I just posted on classifieds a wood stock for a hatsan at44. The guy I got it from said it was a custom stock of some kind from England. I have no idea if that is true but it is a nice stock. It looks like it wasn't sanded as good as it should have been or perhaps it acquired some minor...
