    FWB FWB velocity troubles.

    I just got an FWB 65. The first shot with an 8-grain pellet was 394 fps. That sounded Ok for a used air pistol. I was expecting something like 410 fps. Then, velocities went from 250 fps to 300 fps over a 12-shot string, even with a 7 grain Hobby pellets. The velocities did settle to about 290...

    Benjamin Williams Peep Sight on a Benjamin 342

    I have a Benjamin 342 made in 1972. Is there a peep sight that will fit it without drilling and tapping? I was wondering about this one but it doesn't look promising. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002IKE6K/?coliid=I270EM3IQQU3PZ&colid=2L49NEODEG1BY&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    N/A Airgun maintenance

    I rotate and shoot a stable of pumpers and springers. However, I don't track shot count. Is there an easy way to determine when lubrication and other maintenance are required? Should I track the shots taken on each, use a calendar, or do both, or is there another way? I have Daisy BB guns...

    Diana Find airgun I had as a Teenager

    In the late 70s, I bought an airgun that I believe was a Diana. It was sold by a outdoor sporting mail order company that I cannot remember the name but it is out of business. Maybe started with a P. The airgun was rated at 690 fps in 177 although the mail order company mistakenly rated the 22...

    Sheridan Sheridan will not cock

    Have a Sheridan that requires the bolt to be manually operated to cock in order to pump it up. A while back, the gun would occasionally discharge during pumping so I started putting on the safety before I pumped. Now when I pull the bolt back, it does not cock. The bolt operates freely. Any...

    Going to shoot my FWB 124D with 12x scope (front objective adjustment) at a FT competition next year. May even shoot Gunslynger at the Pyramid cup.

    HW/Weihrauch Using a peep sight

    I read that you get your eye as close to the peep sight as you can, just look at the front sight and the target and open both eyes. However, I cannot shoot good groups with both eyes open with my HW 30 or FWB 300. I do better with one eye closed but not super precise groups. If I just practice...

    RWS Did I damage my gun.

    I was cleaning my RWS 350 and I accidentally hit the safety and touched the trigger and the barrel slammed shut. Luckily no concussion or sheared finger tips. I did shoot it after and it seemed to shoot just as hard. I need to check with my chrono. My question is even if the velocity does not...

    Want to try a pellet that is very soft in a low powered air pistol. Hoping the skirt will deform easily and lock into the rifling. I see lead pellets but they have antimony added for hardness. Any recommendations?????

    Crosman Pellets sticking in loading breech of Crossman 140

    When I load both dome and wadcutter pellets, cannot close the breech cover. The pellets are hanging up on something preventing them from going into the barrel. Use to be no problem. One thing I did do right before the problem was put a butane torch to the rear sight so I could adjust it for...

    N/A Way to test power of bb and pellet guns before you buy in Pawnshop, Estate Sale ect.

    I lack the talent to reseal airguns and thus is very expensive if I buy a used airgun that needs resealing, I need a portable way to judge the velocity of a pellet and bb guns I am handling. Needs to be something I can safely do indoors. My chrono does not work indoors. Thinking of something...

    Have a Ark. Daisy 25 BB Gun that started not shooting BBs when I fired. Took shot tube out and emptied all the bbs. Ran a cleaning rod down the barrel and this vented steel rod popped out. I cannot see how this rod goes back up the shot tube as I believe it would block bbs from being fed. I am...

    Like both these companies. AOA has a clear website that you can find your shipping price without putting in all the information for a total price. Puzzled why shipping price was twice PA. PA shipped my order basically 3 hours after I placed it plus their total price was the cheapest (some...
