    "No airguns allowed here"

    Ever been to a shooting range that didn't allow your air gun? I went to a new range yesterday since my local club is closed on holidays. Went in, asked a few questions, filled out the waiver, paid the cashier. Then I dropped the question... " Figured I should mention this since some places get...

    How long is too long?

    She said: no such thing. But in all seriousness, what is the point of diminishing returns on velocity and energy for barrel length?

    Adding dessicant to tuxing compressor

    I've had an idea for a while to add a dessicant trap between stages on my tuxing compressor. First I'm wondering if anyone has measured the pressure between these stages. The bowl I have is labeled up to 250psi. Figured I'd ask before I start disassembling those fittings as they seem to be...

    AEA Challenger Elite 51 Project

    There's a long story that goes along with this rifle... here's the short version. I picked up the challenger elite 51 back in January. Since then I've had nothing but severe accuracy problems. Many ammo types were keyholing and wouldn't consistently hit a 12"x18" target from 50yds. Some ammo...

    Western Airguns Rattler 357 and 45

    Anyone have some concrete info on the new rattler 45? I ask because I have a deposit down on a 357 and just found out the 45 is coming.... would be a total bummer if I buy the 357 and the 45 makes more energy and similar shot count. Side question: any idea if there's a way to make the rattler...

    AEA HP SS Max 357 Project

    The HP SS Max 357 was my first pcp. That snowballed real quick into a bunch more, but still a relatively cheap, fun and powerful option. That said it could be a lot better in a lot of ways. This thread is to share my tweaks, addons and improvements. The biggest annoyance with this rifle is the...

    So I slugged a barrel...

    Aea challenger elite .51 came in at .514 Explains why most ammo is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway, and why some ammo zings toward the 18"x12" target 50yds away and can't stay on the paper. What's a guy to do? Request a new barrel? Find someone that can size to .514?

    DOT vs Non-DOT Tanks

    I've been browsing and see a lot of non DOT tanks for cheap like the tuxing and acecare brands. Has anyone compared them side by side with DOT tanks? The tank I have right now is an air venturi 9L made by Eaton. The brand and certification was enough to ease my mind of any and all safety...
