    PCP Rifle AAA Paradigm

    CANADIANS ONLY I recently purchased this rifle from one of our forum members but my finances just can’t support my airgun sickness. It’s in great condition, comes in the factory box , two magazines , all the AAA tools, a spare regulator and a literal pile of good quality o rings. I’m asking...

    Kral Arms Reximex RP/A or Mito trigger

    Anybody here have a fix for these triggers? They say it’s a two stage trigger , but in all reality the only way to have this design work without 3/8” of creep is to eliminate the first stage completely. I have a friends pistol here for a reseal and he asked if I could do something about the...

    Shoebox on last leg

    After many years of ownership since 2008 a couple rebuilds , a few miscellaneous parts like belts and drive gears. It looks like I’m on my last rebuild. Yesterday while filling I started hearing the dreaded belt skip, I knew right away that the aluminum drive gear was worn and needed replacing...

    What’s your favorite target?

    I do shoot for groups using the usual paper and do hunt with my air rifle. This is a question for what else we can shoot at? Here’s my favorite , I’ll usually glue them down to the large popsicle sticks and spread them out at varying ranges. The kids love this type of shooting.

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    I’ve been watching the Epic two videos and reviews and something jumped out at me. Is this rifle a copy or possibly a euro version of the EVOL? I recently acquired a Paradigm and have had it apart to have a look at the workings. There are quite a few similarities and a few differences. Of course...

    Other Revisiting an old friend

    I bought this rifle about 6 years ago if my memory serves me correct. When it arrived I couldn’t help but stand back and admire the craftsmanship. Up until that point I had gone through some low end and midrange rifles like the Hatsan , Benjamin, Evanix to name a few and in my mind thought they...

    WIKA 1” gauge

    Does anyone know if these are even a thing. I can find all kinds of 28mm but nowhere do I see a 25mm. There are lots of 25mm/1” Huma gauges available from just about every airgun retailer but I would much prefer WIKA.

    Let’s see them work benches

    It’s Sunday morning and I figured now would be a good time to do a bit of a clean up. Not what I would call spotless but at least I can see the top of my work bench. I really like the poly sheets from our local hardware store. I think they are how shower lining. Easy to cut to fit and being...

    What’s with JSB these days

    I know this has been covered already for the most part but I’m gonna rant anyways. I was just looking at pellet prices , and it’s not like JSB is the only company that have jacked up their prices but dear lord, 30$ CAD for a tin of 500 x 16 grain pellets? 40$ CAD for 400 x 20 grain? We’re...

    American Air Arms Oops I did it again

    Over the last few months it seems my dream guns keep coming up for sale. This time a late model .22 AAA Paradigm. I just couldn’t help myself. To offset the cost, I’ve got a few from my stable for sale . A few that I never thought I’d ever move on. I’ve even started moving a few powder burners...

    N/A Wanna get fancy

    A co worker picked one of these up a while back and has had some good feedback. We use it on hydraulic systems but the brochure says it’s good for air also. I’m real tempted on picking one up. They are quite a bit bigger than the average gauge but a few rifles have the space. I’m thinking of...

    N/A JTS magazines

    I see these magazines being advertised as working with other PCP rifles . Is there a list that I’m missing that tells us which models ? I could ask JTS but what’s the fun in that. I really like the looks of their all metal magazines , I’d love to be able to fit them in my Rapid MK2.

    Theoben Rapid MK2 mods

    Figured rather than hijack other threads not to mention I just wanted to share my “end of winter project” . Rifle started out as a .25 cal ( that’s staying ) with a 23” long barrel and a standard 500cc aluminium cylinder and unregulated with free flow valve.It’s gone through a bit of a...

    Exactly how many is too many

    For the last couple years I’ve kind of vanished from the airgun forums / community to follow other interests and hobbies. Now over the last few months I’ve come full circle and rediscovered my love for airguns and modifying them. I’ve jumped from brand to brand, and have held onto my favourites...

    What’s the best trigger in the business

    I’ve been thinking about the most adjustable trigger with the cleanest break that I have had. So far the one that comes to mind is the HW100. Now not including the electronic triggers out there. Is there something I’ve been missing? I’ve had a Marauder trigger for quite some time on a discovery...

    All my bases covered

    After being involved in this hobby for close to 15 years now. I think I can say I’ve got all my bases covered. And for the first time since getting involved , I don’t have the itch to buy a new rifle. I will surely have to do some research on a new source of air in the next few months and even...

    Looking at an LPVO

    I’d like to get my Leshiy 2 set up so that I have two configurations. The first is complete with a 3x prism sight on a QD mount and 350mm barrel. The second I have a 500mm barrel but I’m in need of an optic with a bit more magnification. The Vortex 1-8x24 is really tempting as it comes in an FFP...

    Vector Calypos 3x quick review

    Here’s a quick review of my favourite short range scope . First off this is not the regular optic but a prism sight similar to how the military ACOG works. I’ve had this little beauty mounted to a few different rifles and even the PP750 and now finds its home on the Leshiy 2. Let me start off...
