    Other Perspective on off hand shooting

    Can anyone help me find printable targets suitable for off hand pistol shooting at 10 and 25 m? Even better, is there some set of accuracy standards / benchmarks out there i could use for self assessment purposes? Maybe typical amateur match scores on a standard target of some kind? Thanks...

    Simple compact swaging dies

    I believe at one point in time some guns came with a small swaging die set that you fill with a piece of lead, and tap with a hammer or mallet to force the lead into the correct shape Does anything like this exist for someone who wants a portable way to form slugs without having to invest...

    How to approach enlarging porting on an airgun barrel?

    Hello there, hoping to draw on some of the wisdom and experience of this group… I have a kral empire xs, I am enjoying this air gun. At some point I want to try opening up some of the porting. Don’t need to, I just want to give it a try. I thought I’d start with the ports that flow air into...

    Huben Gk1 is available!

    I was surprised to see that the GK one is in stock in a couple of different places. I was assuming there would be a big buzz when that thing finally hit the shelves. Who has one??

    Kral Arms Lube for side lever bullpup

    I’ve posted a few times about the new empire xs I got, and am wondering about lube and maintenance for the cocking and trigger mechanisms. I put a little silicone lube on the pellet probe since there’s an internal barrel oring (after I cleaned the barrel with a patchworm and ballistol)...

    Always spell out your packaging expectations!

    I just recently purchased an airgun from Krale and foolishly assumed I didn’t need to specify how to safely wrap an airgun. Well, I was wrong and found out the hard way. You can learn from my mistake: Krale did understand the concept of double boxing, but botched the rest. 1. If it’s a...

    Help with ideas for baffle design for a very small moderator

    I recently got some very small moderator housings from David (rocker1 at GTA). I’m trying to further quiet down a 22 empire XS that I recently acquired without adding much to the length. Just trying to get it quiet enough not to annoy my nice neighbors. The Empire XS has a short shroud with...

    Empire xs barrel and projectiles

    I was hoping someone here might have some insight into preferred projectiles for a 22 caliber empire XS. Anyone have any suggestions for good pellets or slugs for this airgun? Also, if anybody knows any details on the barrel twist rate, if it is choked/unchoked I would love to know that as...

    Empire xs setup

    I have an empire xs on the way and am wondering if any of you who have skills tuning/ setting up rifles have any suggestions for adjustments that might be beneficial? I know someone, for example, had trouble with the fill probe orings getting nicked, and they used some tool to deburr or round...

    Empire xs magazines

    I have an empire xs on the way and am wondering about magazines for this gun. I didn’t see how many it comes with and am wondering if anybody makes improved magazines like CARM and if there are any dealers in the US who sell magazines for this gun. I see CARM has magazines for some Kral guns...

    Evanix AR6

    I’m curious about the Evanix AR6 huhting master airgun pistol. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this mentioned in the various conversations about air pistols, and what’s available, etc. and I am wondering why. I came upon this one browsing at Krale’s catalog. It has pretty high power for a .22...

    Resetting spinner type target

    I recently purchased a spinner type target with four discs that flip up when shot and can be knocked down by hitting a separate disc. It was designed for rimfire, so the discs are reasonably heavy / thick and seems like it will hold up to abuse. I know this is a problem that I can solve, but I...

    Manometer wrench

    I recently moved back to where I grew up. I got my first pump air gun at a flea market in this town about 43 years ago. That same fleamarket still happens every Sunday so I went by to check it out. Not as many vendors as there used to be, but there’s been something interesting there every time...

    Chemistry apparatus for a target stand

    I just set up this rings stand I’ve had in the basement. It has clips that can be sent to any height and rotated in two axes. There’s also a ring that can be used as a stand, and set different heights and angles. Each axis can be clamped down, but also left free to rotate, making it useful...

    Accessories Evanix rex shrouds, barrels

    looking for one of the long shroud tubes for the evanix Rex guns. I’m only interested in the tubes that are not drilled with all of the vent holes at the base. I think these are found on some of the more recent models and some of the gamo-branded Rex rifles. Don’t want to spend an absurd...

    Testing 18” LW barrel and Doug Noble valve in AF frame

    I have a couple of Air Force frames with TJ barrels and Doug Noble mechanism and 4500 psi tank. For fun I tried putting one of these valves on my .25 Talon P along with an 18” barrel. Nice compact carbine. At the lowest power wheel settings I fired 16 rounds from 3400 psi down to 2600, I had a...

    18” LW barrel is pretty amazing

    I’ve been shooting a variety of projectiles out of my modified Talon P at about 30 yards. This has an 18” .25 LW barrel and doug noble hammer and spring (valve should be incoming one of these days). First, the JSB heavies shoot very consistently. I guess I should expect this, but I didn’t...

    Deal on a gun cabinet

    I have been eyeballing this cabinet for the last month or so at the local thrift shop (=indoor flea market basically). They had 40% off all furniture a couple of days ago so I got this for $60! It is in better shape than i expected. This is the first piece of furniture I have purchased for...

    Sputtering water flow in vevor compressor.

    I’ve noticed when filling with my vevor Yong-heng-like compressor the cooling water comes out sputtering, not in a smooth flow. When the pump isn’t running, the water flows normally, but as soon as the pump turns on the water is coming out in a little spurts with mixed air. Water still flows...
