About two weeks ago I ordered a precision barrel for my Barra 400E as well as several packages of BB’s, a magazine and a speed loader. I knew something was wrong when the USPS tracking showed the package showing up in my area and then being shipped to California. Sure enough, when the package...

I’ve been goofing around with this idea for a while now. Instead of attaching a shoulder stock to a pistol, why not use a sling in the same role? A sling that attaches to the pistol and either wraps around the shoulder, back or upper arm can be used in a similar manner to a shoulder stock...

Not much more to say beyond that. They don’t necessarily fit into the other categories well and are something that some of us are into but many aren’t.

Just putting this out there because they are available at Pyramyd for $10 per tin of 100, or 7.5 cents a piece once you include the free fourth tin. That’s the cheapest I’ve found for .30 pellets yet, but be warned, their skirts are seriously oversized. I fired about 50 of them from my...

So we know that the speed of sound is the upper speed limit of any gas powered gun, but also that the speed of sound will vary depending on the gas being used, the temperature and it's pressure. Under normal conditions however the speed of sound in air is about 1125 fps. Just sticking with...

These are all 50-53 shot groups. Basically one full magazine each. They were all shot scoped and from a tripod just to get an idea of the potential accuracy of the gun. One group was shot with copperheads the others with blaster. Any accuracy difference between them seems minimal, but I...

I've become somewhat fascinated by Daisy lever action BB guns and have been slowly building up a Red Ryder. I'm just wondering if there's any performance difference between the two other than the width of the frame itself. A wide frame would be much easier to make a good looking stock for...

I'm just wondering what experience people here have had with them. One of the really nice things about evaluating a PCP is that you can shoot it from a rest and remove 90% or more of the human error from the equation. It doesn't matter if you got 2 hours of sleep last night and compensated...

There's one for sale there now. These things have fascinated me for years, but I've already exceeded my airgun spending for the month due to other used guns they had for sale. For those of you that aren't familiar these were extremely realistic replicas that fired precharged air cartridges...

I try and scan through Craigslist every few days and occasionally I spot a bargain. Today I found this. Decent looking guns, but I think I'm going to pass on this one. https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/spo/d/olympia-very-nice-older-pellet-air/7825332166.html

Did some shooting with the Steroid 392 at 50 yards today. This group was 5 shots and measured a bit over an inch using Norma Heavies and five pumps. I’m sure it could shoot under an inch if I tried a variety of pellets but I only had the scope on it to get a better idea of what it was capable...

I took advantage of their Black Friday sale and purchased a large order of .30 Zan pellets. These are the best packaged pellets I have ever purchased. Each box contains 2 trays of 77 pellets each and they all sit in their own individual pockets within the tray. Whats more, the lid of each...

People do all kinds of mods to just about every other multipump, but I havent been able to find a thing about people doing anything to these particular rifles and it seems like they'd be an ideal platform to build on.

Pyramyd marked down the price of wood stocked M1 Carbines $120 and I couldn’t resist and ordered one a week ago. I just got a chance to shoot it today and am pretty impressed overall, but there’s one thing about it that just niggles me and that’s the rear sight. It looks correct, but it...

Just picked this up yesterday for $140 and I’ve got to say they really knocked it out of the park with this one. So far as replicas go, it’s pretty meh. It’s not terrible, but it’s got a plastic stock, no magazine and it just doesn’t really look or feel that close to the real thing. So far as...

One thing that seems to have been a so far unstoppable trend in airguns has been the ever increasing maximum pressure used. Antique pneumatics operated at pressures under 1000 psi and while CO2 might exceed that on a hot day it was mostly under 1000 psi too. When more modern PCP's came out...

Just wondering what everyone's experiences have been. What have you found to be a bargain, what should just be melted down for lead and what are they selling for per pellet? I've had very good luck with H&N FTT's in .177, 8.64 gr. and .22 Baracudas in 18.1 gr. I get great accuracy out to 50...

I've got a 10m range in my basement currently, but it's basically just a metal rimfire trap on the far end of my garage which I shoot through the doorway from my basement. I'm thinking I'd like to turn it into something better with a backstop about 4' x 4' with spinners and swinging...

I thought I'd ask this after seeing a reply in the "guns you regret buying" thread from rokonman, saying basically "all the cheap guns I wasted my money on". I'm pretty sure everybody here has had that experience multiple times, but every now and then you really do find a diamond in the rough...

There are plenty of .177 and BB CO2 revolvers, but the only larger one I am aware of is a Schofield with a .22 barrel kit that produces velocities in the low 200’s. It seems to me that it shouldn’t be that hard to make a CO2 revolver in .22, .25. .30 or 9mm and get the velocity up to between...
