    BSA Super Ten in .25? BSA didn't, maybe I should ??? :)

    Anyone that has been horrified by my aberrations and seen that I have a fondness for the BSA Super Ten, also knows that I really like carbines. That's why I have two Super Tens that I got creative with and made carbines out of in .177 and .22. Through a bit of horse trading with another member...

    Freshened up a Diana 10 today 😁

    Okay, I'll admit it, I have a twisted affection for match rifles and pistols. I have not, and never plan to compete, but something about their quality always draws me. So this little gem popped up and found its way to me. It was sold with no mention of working right, but after several Diana...

    [WTB] WTB broken or parts gun Edgun 1st gen Lelya or Veles

    I have two original Lelyas I don't want to tinker with, so I would like some beaters for experimentation. Emphasizing I'm looking for the earlier single shot Lelya, not the 2.0. I mentioned the Veles since it's the same basic design. Not looking for working examples unless priced low since I...

    Anschutz 8001, anyone own one?

    I see they are still available as a laminate stock Junior version. I just purchased a plain vanilla walnut one on a lark and was surprised there is very little info on this model. I won't have the gun in my hands for a month, but figured I'd ask if anyone has personal experience with one. So...

    Tuning FWB 124 needing some love

    Bought a 124 from an auction, it was clearly advertised as not working and wouldn't fire a pellet. So I had no expectations of what I would receive, but I did order up a piston seal and a new breech seal, knowing those would be definite needs. Well, it showed up yesterday and externally in...

    First fills with the new Alkin W31😁

    Long story short, a friend got into PCP rifles and after talking me out of one tank, then he wanted my Omega compressor. So I went and put my foot down and said, "Fine! I'll go buy a new compressor". It showed up Monday, but I wasn't able to get a 220V plug until today. Built like the proverbial...

    Carbon fiber bottles 50mm diameter?

    I'm planning another BSA Super10 project. This next donor is another MKIII bull barrel. My first carbine was on this same model, but I kept the Luxfer aluminum bottle (50mm dia.) when I added the quick fill unit and I never paid much attention to bottle diameter. When I built my second carbine...

    [WTB] WTB Beeman R1, or Weihrauch HW80 barrel.

    Prefer .22 caliber, but if it's reasonably priced, I'll take any caliber in any condition. I would even purchase a bare barrel block. Let me know what you have. Thanks Mark

    A true child size springer of good quality. Does anyone think there is a market?

    To establish a dividing line as to what I mean, there are still a number of springers that are based on adult sized actions with reduced size stocks. Most of these still run around 5lbs in weight and are a chunky handful as they were larger to begin with. Those can be used by smaller shooters...

    Source for Omega Air Charger burst discs?

    I thought this would be a simple thing... NOT! When I bought my compressor a couple of years ago, it was used and I never got the baggie of spare bits. I just fired it up after sitting for over a year and I noticed a hiss as it reached about 4K psi pressure and struggled to get to 300 bar. Once...

    Tuning It's just a flesh wound😆

    Just got my 1936-1939 BSA Light pattern. I knew it was in need of some major help when I bought it. That'll buff out won't it?🤣 I will admit that I made the failed repair more ghastly looking by annealing the area to reduce stresses, but that really is someone's handiwork from days gone...

    [WTB] Looking for a Webley Service Rifle

    Pretty open minded, I would even consider a reasonably complete parts rifle. I'm not looking for a museum quality piece, rather something that can be serviced and put back into occasional use. Let me know what you have, send me some pictures and a phone number so we can chat about it and...

    Pre-war BSA Standard questions

    In a moment of weakness, I just purchased this train wreck because it looks like an interesting challenge and it should be headed my way in a day or two. The piston tube is cracked and has been poorly repaired, only to fail again. Obviously, the end cap with the trigger and stock can be removed...

    Beeman R1/HW80 servicing recommendations

    Not usually over here on the springer side, but I just snagged an R1 in .177 that popped up on the AoA site for cheap and should be here shortly. However... they noted on the invoice "may need rebuild". That wasn't a huge concern given the price and I'm not worried about servicing it, but other...
