    Beautiful, but not functional pellet pouch

    This Webley product seems like it should be great, but it requires three hands to operate: one to hold and squeeze it, one to remove the pellet for loading and one to hold the airgun. That is why it looks new - never used.

    Warning about Gletcher guns.

    Three months ago I purchased a Gletcher Nagant CO2 revolver from Gletcher's website. The gun loses all its gas if not used for a week. I contacted Gletcher for replacement under their eighteen month warrantee and was informed that users are required to remove the CO2 cylinder after each use...

    Waffencenter-Gotha

    Has anyone managed to do business with these people. They seem to be the only supplier of many Haenel parts. They have a website, but it is unclear if they ship to the US. You cannot contact them online, but must telephone with questions. I do not speak German, so I am stymied.

    Airgun Vendors I Hate

    I hate, and will not do business with, vendors who require a signature for parcel delivery. When a parcel requiring signature is due to arrive I have to wait, in my home's first floor, for an indeterminate time, for the delivery driver. I cannot go downstairs to work on my guns or use my...

    Airgun collection software

    Has anyone come across software suitable for cataloging an airgun collection. I have investigated a number of firearm versions, but they are not quite right.

    My Haenel collection

    Somehow I have managed to build collection of Haenels. Why? I simply cannot resist oddballs. Model 311 the hot target rifle of the early 1950s. .177 of course Model 310. 4.4 mm ball repeater. The sling is original. I have both 5 and 10 shot magazines. Model 303 .177 caliber break...

    What is your smallest wood stocked springer

    Here is mine - a Mondial model 1952. It is 32" long, weighs 2.6 pounds, has a brass lined steel barrel. I shoots well, but for a child's gun it is hard to cock and has a heavy trigger. Of course, that might change if I disassembled and tuned it.

    Old pump up mystery

    Walking my dog a couple of months ago I came across an "estate" sale. "Estate" seemed hardly appropriate as it was on the lawn of a modest hundred-year-old bungalow. Propped against a battered table was a pump up airgun. It looked vaguely familiar, so I picked it up for examination. No...

    Steiner

    Here we are - locked in. Day after day looking out the window at the world. Perfect time to organize the airgun collection. At the bottom of a shelf of stuff was a box I could not remember ever seeing before. Steiner was written on the cover. I opened it: An air pistol totally unfamiliar. ...

    Problem using the FX Chronograph with Springers???

    I am interested in getting an FX Chronograph to use with my, mostly, springer, collection. All the videos I see about the chrono show it in use with PCPs. It seems the best way to use the chrono is attached below the muzzle. I wonder if springers, which suffer from recoil and vibration will...

    Best Compromise Springer

    Over the years I have collected dozens of air rifles - springers, pumpers, CO2 and enjoy them all, but each has its benefits and shortcomings. I am not a hunter, but a woods walker and plinker. Over all, I will choose a springer when I go for an outing. My springer collection runs the gamut...

    Anyone done business with Calibr-spring.com in Ukraine

    I am considering buying a few parts for a Russian IJ 38 from the website Calibr-spring.com in Ukraine, but am nervous about giving credit card info. Has anyone any information about them.

    Benjamin Tootsie Roll Pump Handle

    Anyone have a good idea of how to rivet a tootsie roll pump handle back in place after repair so it looks original.
