    RAW Rapid RAW RIFLE O-Ring

    I am going through the same issue with a RAW HM 1000x that is only just over a year old. I shot it quite a bit last summer (and loved it) but it developed numerous leaks while sitting over the winter. Tracking down these o-ring sizes is a PITA and repeated contacts with RAW and AirForce via...

    Athlon optics best prices

    I purchased an Athlon Helos BTR 6-24x50 FFP scope at Midway for $300.00 a few months back. The same scope runs about $560 at other retailers, but they had a limited number available at the discounted price. They went out of stock shortly after I ordered mine, but a few weeks later I picked up a...

    Live Auctioners site anyone use?

    Yes, they are legit. One of several websites used by professional auctioneers to give online exposure to the items they are selling. Some auctions may be online only, and others may be simulcast (online bidding combined with a live, called auction). Just be sure to read the terms carefully. They...

    HW 97k Blue Laminate in Review!

    I was never a fan of laminated stocks, thinking that they were too too gaudy and showy. I changed my mind when I purchased a Marauder (my first PCP) on eBay equipped with a Boyds custom stock in Royal Jacaranda laminate. I'll probably never buy another air rifle that doesn't offer a laminate...

    HW 97k Blue Laminate in Review!

    I've had one in .20 cal on order from Pyramyd Air since December and still waiting. They told me it would be in their next shipment from Weirauch at the end of March, but to not hold my breath with worldwide shipping delays. When I ordered, it was just over $500.00 with a discount code, but the...

    Marauder Price Drop

    Amazon has the Marauder .22 Synthetic for $359.20...I have it on my "save for later" list and that's the lowest I've seen. Camelcamelcamel confirms this as the lowest price as well. No telling how long this price will last, but a heck of a deal for anyone who's been waiting on a price break.

    Crosman Mark I Auction Buy

    I shipped the pistol out last Wednesday to Mac1, and it was back in my mailbox today (Wednesday). One week turnaround from Ohio to California and back again! By the time I found time to shoot tonight it was already dark, so I took a few shots wearing my headlamp. Not for accuracy, mind you, but...

    Home Built Pellet Trap

    As an auctioneer (apprentice, for now), I am always coming across interesting and unusual items. Recently, I spotted some old cast iron window weights, and for some reason, the idea of a pellet trap came into my head. These particular weights are flat cast iron slabs that measure about 4" x 24"...

    Crosman Mark I Auction Buy

    Received a call from Tim on Saturday evening...the pistol has arrived and is already done! Now I just have to wait for it to get back to me. Should end up being about a one week turnaround, including shipping time.

    Crosman Mark I Auction Buy

    Shipped the gun off to Mac1 this morning for a full service and hot valve and trigger mods after talking to Tim on the phone. Looking forward to giving this pistol a another go once it's been worked on since my initial experience was no more than a tease.

    Crosman Mark I Auction Buy

    I've watched some of the teardown videos, and you're right, not complicated, but when I see the valve stem being trued up on a lathe, and pictures of damaged piercing pin mechanisms due to the use of improper tools, I thought I would just ship it out and maybe get some minor internal upgrades at...

    Crosman Mark I Auction Buy

    I have owned a couple of "adult" airguns (RWS springers) for many years, but have just recently become more interested in the hobby and recently added my first PCP rifle (a Marauder) to my collection. Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to bid on and purchase my first CO2 gun at a local...

    Custom Marauder Finished...Maybe

    I have a Boyd's stock on my Marauder and I love it. It was already on the gun (which is otherwise unmodified) when I purchased it, and it's probably my favorite part of the whole setup. Others have mentioned the need for a cheek riser, which you can order as an option...I think it adds $60.00 or...

    Boyd Stock

    Boyd's Pro Varmint for the Marauder has an adjustable comb available, although it's a $60.00 upgrade. The gun I recently purchased came with this, and I like it very much. The thumbhole version you are looking at does not offer this option because of how deeply the stock is contoured to allow...

    Boyd Stock

    Straight replacement...no mods required. I bought a used Marauder recently that is equipped with a Boyd's stock and the only problem is that it makes me want to buy a custom laminated stock for every gun I own.
