I am no huge fan of Crosman pellets as some of you may remember from previous comments. I've been working on the regulator of a Stoeger Bullshark in 22 recently and grabbed an almost full tin I had to use to see if the "fixed" regulator is working. Today is the second day now where the most...

My first P35 was a P35-25 caliber and I was recently gifted a P35X in 25 caliber that was not shooting right. I have not fixed it, actually it is worse at least for now, but in the process I've moved parts to my P35-25 and thus had the opportunity to compare parts. SPA makes changes in their...

I was checking the grease in my almost new CS2 and took off the head and pulled the inspection plug. I was surprised the inspection plug had a hole about 1/4 inch in it. So the piston area was open. That doesn't seem right so I made a plug out of a washer and a little Epoxy. I also took the...

About the first adjustment I made after getting my first P35, the 25 caliber, was to the trigger pull. The "manual" gives essentially no useful information so I had to figure out how to adjust it. Relaxing the first stage spring along the rod going to the sear was super simple and helped a...

I love my P35s but the 25, in particular, won't push pellets as fast as I want. I added an after market plenum which helped but my velocity on 25.4s with it's current tune was about 840 fps. Usable but not great. I saw the oblong barrel ports on some more expensive guns and decided to try it...

I got a pellet delivery from Utah Airguns today. I ordered them last week when they had free shipping. I thought I ordered the "match" pellets I normally shoot but I did notice the price was low but thought maybe they were just reducing stock. I shot a few and they were OK considering wind is...

I have been using my Caldwell Rock BR rest to shoot 30 yard challenge targets and made a modification others might find of interest. I'm using hunting type guns that are light with narrow fore ends that don't interface with the rest well. My first change was to cast up a 5lb block of lead 3...

I had to send my Athlon Argos 10-40 target scope back to Athlon today. I bought it from Camera Land in November of 2024 and I was pretty happy with it but I had noticed the occasional need for a scope adjustment for no apparent reason. Today it just would not hold zero for more than a shot or...

Can anybody explain why my airgun magazines seem so large when I am filling them and so small when I am shooting from them? The problem seems the largest on my 177. Maybe it is in part my big old fingers trying to handle those tiny pellets.

The wind was low this morning (weather report says 3-4 mph) so I shot a couple 30 yard challenge targets. First my P35-177. It seems to need at least half a dozen warmups with H&N Batacuda FTs which give me the best scores. I had a string of 5 or 6 targets over 190 with it going over the last...

Ever since I started making pellet traps filled with rubber mulch I've been wanting a good quick way to separate the mulch from the pellets. I made an improvement today using plastic fencing that has 8mm openings. It's about the right size to let pellets through without letting significant...

A couple days ago I got a GX CS2. I bought it from GX and used their 10% off code to get it for about $250. I like filling from my bottle which I fill using my Yong Heng. But it won't last forever and isn't very portable. I've taken the bottle to the range but it's pretty big. Anyway, I am...

I did a little test this afternoon of penetration versus velocity using my Prod. I shot at old scraps of 22 gauge steel roofing. Projectiles were 14.66 grain H&N pellets and 14.3 grain Crosman pellets. The gun started off shooting at 680 fps and zipped right through at 30 yards. At 561 fps...

I filed my taxes today and as a reward to myself I ordered a GX CS2. I am not getting money back, I am paying, but I've been looking at the GX line and decided the CS2 best fits my needs. My main way to fill my airguns will remain my Yong Heng filling my 6.8 liter bottle but that doesn't give...

I got a shipment of H&N slugs today from Pyramyd with Amazon as the shipper. It was the cheapest shipping option so I gave it a try. The slugs were packed the normal Pyramyd way with foam squares and double boxed and are pristine. I think the issue I've had with ordering pellets from Amazon...

I bought a Teslong NGT100 boroscope months ago and just got around to using it today. The head is about 5mm in diameter and easily fits into a 22 caliber or larger barrel. I have some mirror heads for it but I haven't used them yet. I often get frustrated with things like this and it happened...

I just finished my new brick column to support my pellet trap(s) at 30 yards from my shooting bench. I carefully used my steel measuring tape to locate 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and almost 35 yards from my shooting bench a couple years ago. I put a 12 inch square paver at all but 25 and 35 yards and...

Target Forge did a YouTube where he modified a GX CS2 to run on Dewalt 18V batteries. You can also just buy one set up for Makita batteries. You can even get an adapter and use DeWalt or Milwaukee batteries in it. But what if you prefer the longer running more powerful GX CS4? Seems like...

The weather is nasty here today so no target shooting for me. I decided instead to test the penetration of a couple slugs my guns like. My Caiman X likes 21 grain H&N slugs and is tuned to shoot them about 920 fps. My P35-177 shoots 12.5 grain Nielsen slugs pretty well. It is tuned to shoot...

I got 5 squirrels in November then 6 in December then none in January. So I was happy to get this 18 ounce male this morning. Double lung through shot with my P35-177 using 10.6 grain H&N Baracuda Match pellets that leave the barrel at 880 fps. It was sitting up on a limb eating an acorn. It...
