    Tuning De-Tuning my new Beeman AR2078B .177

    I recently received a new Beeman AR2078B. It's a great fun rifle for ten meter shooting. I'd like to reduce the velocity to make it quieter and get more shots per fill. Right now it is getting 635fps with an 8 grain wadcutter and its giving just over 40 shots on a single CO2 cartridge before I...

    FX Does the FX Panthera make waiting for a Crown MK3 kind of a moot point?

    I really enjoy my Crown MK2 .22 in the Saber Tactical chassis. I’ve been waiting for a MK3 version with some of the latest FX goodies. Very recently I’ve begun looking at all that the Panthera has to offer. Then it occurred to me that a Panthera with a front bottle added and the new K&L arca...

    HW50s tuned down for mild power

    I am pondering the idea of an HW50S .177 tuned down to about 9.5-10 fpe. I love my HW30 in .177 and thought that maybe just a "little more gusto" would make a nice plinker. I have an HW50s in .22 with a standard factory tune. It's "jumpy" and noisy compared to my HW30. Although it shoots...

    Anybody ever use a service called WISE to send payment funds outside the US?

    I'm trying to purchase a FWB 601 and the seller is requesting that I use a service called WISE to send the funds. The website looks real enough but I've never heard of them. I'm very cautious about exposing my banking info to a service I know nothing about. Anybody here ever use them? Thanks...

    Pyramyd Air customer service really comes through.

    I received a large ( for me at least) pellet order this past Saturday. There must be a new trainee in the shipping department. The always great pellet packaging was really missing. The box was easily 4 times larger than needed and then filled with those foam circles that are popped out of the...

    Adding weights to rifle’s forend to increase stability.

    I have been wanting to try adding some weights to the Saber Tactical chassis on my Crown MK2. I thought it might make the rifle a little more stable on the bags. The chassis has M LOK slots available for this purpose. The weights I found online were all more expensive than I expected. I just...

    Need help from forum moderator

    I hope this is the correct place to ask for help. I have been contacted by friend and fellow forum member MEC17670. He has been unable to log in since yesterday and can't contact anybody from the forum to help out. He reached out and asked me contact a moderator for help. Thank you, Kenny

    Slug shooting and choked barrels?

    A previous post by Solo1 regarding slugs and choked barrels got me thinking. In an FX barrel liner how close to the muzzle is the choke? Could you take a 700mm liner and cut it to the same length as a 600mm liner and therefore remove the choke? Muzzle would probably need to be re-crowned. Could...

    HW30 in .177 is available at Krales right now.

    Not sure how many they have but I was able to order one in .177 just moments ago. They were out of stock last week when I checked. Kenny

    Beeman R10 Tune up: A shout out and big thank you to member bdzjlz

    I’m sending a big thank you to member bdzjlz. He worked his magic and restored the life in my old Beeman R10. I was just a teen when I bought my first “real” air rifle in 1986. It was a Beeman R10 Deluxe. Being a kid I’m sure the rifle didn’t always receive the best care it deserved. Flash...

    Bragging on my new HW50s and a big thanks to JohnnyPiston

    Just bought myself an HW50s from our own classifieds. JohnnyPiston sold me his rifle. I’m grateful that I found his ad since they are hard to find right now. His rifle was in new condition and had a very nice stock for factory beech. I already have an HW30 with a receiver mounted aperture sight...

    Help!! Umarex Legend 1894 leaking

    My Umarex Legend 1894 is leaking co2. I’ve tried all the remedies that I can find online and so far none have worked. I’ve added silicone to the seals and I’ve tried warming the seals to help them expand and I’ve even tried some silicone grease on the seals. I can’t find any option to actually...

    Air rifle silhouette targets.

    I wanted to shout a big thank you to the anonymous member that donated the air rifle silhouette targets to our shooting challenge. They are awesome and very well made. They are about 3/16" thick and will handle any of my air rifles. My daughter took the first shots on the targets as payback for...

    Tuning NSA slugs and FX Impact: ballistic testing, tuning and lots of photos to share.

    This is a post I’ve wanted to write for a while. I’m very interested in ballistic performance and I figured that there are many of you who share the same interest. I’m just scratching the surface so far with my new FX Impact and NSA slugs and I’m no expert. I just want to share some of my...

    Feedback I want to take a second to thank some members here that really helped me.

    csf916, STO, Airgun-hobbyist, ImpactX, edosan, heavy-impact, Chuck-in-Ohio, and Jlacouturec. Just before Christmas these guys took the time to answer my questions and really helped me out with my FX Impact. With their guidance and input I had the courage to open my rifle and do a little work. I...

    I need some help with my Impact MK2

    My Impact MK2 has been great shooting pellets (18.3 JSB). Now I am experimenting with NSA slugs and a slug liner. My gun is MK2 in .22 with a 700mm barrel, all factory stock. I have watched all the videos on tuning that I can find. My goal was to power tune the 24.8 grain slugs into the mid...

    [WTS] Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 Brand New

    I have a brand new Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 30mm scope for sale. I ended with two scopes and my wife thought it was better to sell one scope rather than buy another air rifle to put it on. Not sure I agree but she is the boss so.... 😁 This one has the MIL reticle. The scope is new and has not...
