    Other PCP Filling using the small bottles.

    I have a newbie PCP question. I have been using a hand pump for pcp. Can I use one of those smaller air tanks with a regulator to fill my PCP Air rifle? They look like they attach directly to a paintball gun. If possible, I'd like to fill one of those with my manual pump and carry out into the...

    Suppressors

    I am fairly certain that suppressor are not legal without a tax stamp and approval. The part that confuses people is that they think that an air gun suppressor is not in the jurisdiction of the Alphabet org. However if you look at what they are saying is that they have jurisdiction over suppressors...

    Tougher than I thought and what they tell you.

    So in the last 2 weeks I have used my airguns for pest control. These little buggers are hard to kill. I have 2 dogs one of which has hunting bloodlust. I have had to pick up dead ground hogs from the yard and deal with my dog getting bit in the fight. So now I kill on sight when they are in...

    Thinking of buying a Benjamin maximus? You'd better read this.

    Something about the Benjamin maximus makes you want to shout from the rooftops about how great this PCP air rifle is. I want to again thank everyone who contributed on my previous post that helped me decide which PCP to purchase. Is it the greatest of the entry level small bore pcp's? I can't...

    Lubricant: mineral oil: detonation: PCP compression temp

    The standard lubrication for PCP is silicone oil. This is seemingly for many reasons including longevity of the internal components such as o rings in addition to preventing detonation by using non combustible oil. I have been using mineral oil in break barrels and powder burners with no...

    Benjamin maximus dual fuel?

    As I understand the disco was duel fuel. The Benjamin maximus I am not sure of. I heard it used to ship with a gauge that showed both. Mine does not have the co2 combo gauge. So... Pretty sure I could use co2 but no idea what the max fill is. Maybe I could order a disco gauge from crossman...

    Hello all! I just purchased a Beeman QB Chief in .22 cal. Used up an amazon credit and got it for 170.00. no scope. I have a question what is the effective and ethical kill range on a Beeman Chief .22 caliber firing Crossman Hollow Point 14.3 grain? Specs say 850 fps at the muzzle for the...

    At the range? Sure why not.

    Recently I went to the shooting range and I took my beeman pistol with me. We shoot for 20min then target check. I often shoot black powder. Anyone who knows about black powder knows it's slow going. So as we get into the last few minutes before target check I decided to shoot the fast loadin...

    So I'm now in the market for a PCP air rifle in a small caliber probably 177 or 2 2. Here's the thing though I probably shouldn't be spending money so I'm trying to do it cheaply. I came across the Benjamin Maximus what impressed me is a 5 year warranty. What do you guys think of the Maximus...

    Pcp advantages?

    So I'm toying with the idea of either buying a PCP or getting a black powder rifle. I'm trying to understand the advantages of PCP. I know that there is less recoil than a springer piston break barrel. correct me if I'm wrong though it's small bore there's not really much of an advantage...

    C clip falls out while bench shooting.

    Okay so I have a total of four hatsan rifles now and the one that I used the most the .177 did something really funny today.

    Umarex morph trigger pull are all CO2 like that?

    So my first CO2 experience happened to be with the umarex morph. I bought this gun because it was unique. Things that I didn't like about it are... First and foremost the trigger is ridiculous. It is an extremely long double action trigger. probably the longest in the hardest amount of full...

    So I had a credit that I wanted to use and long story short 5 bucks cash plus my 15 credit landed me an Umarex DX17. I purchase it because it reminded me of my old Marksman repeater. It too was a coil spring type that shot a single pellet or multiple bbs. Once I removed it from it's package. I...

    So I want to share some things I did to make my chrono work indoors as I bought it without the lighted shades. I would not recommend this set up for powder burners due to the up ward recoil.
