    Do most vendors charge sales tax on shipping?

    I just placed an order at Pyramyd Air and was surprised to see that they charged (collected) tax on the shipping costs. I can’t remember the last time I placed an order at Pyramyd that I didn’t buy enough stuff to get free shipping, but that was the case today. Sales tax in my zip code is 7%; I...

    Shooting wine corks at 100 yards...

    When did Airgun Depot stop doing 'buy 3 get 1 free' on pellets?

    I looked and it has been 2 years since I ordered pellets from Airgun Depot, but back then they were doing 'buy 3 get the 4th tin free'. Double checked my order from May 27th 2020 and indeed it was buy 3 get 1 free. Their prices for pellets and shipping seem to be exactly the same as Pyramyd...

    Tuning Thank You FX USA Customer Support!

    Within the past month I have had two very positive encounters with FX USA Customer Service that I would like to share with everyone. Back near the end of March my Crown (late 2018 vintage) that I bought used started acting-up. The regulated pressure gauge was all over the map. I could...

The rifle...

    My old Blue Streak is back in action!

    I decided that my 47 year old Blue Streak needed another chance to have a good life so I ordered a $32 repair kit from Mac1, made a couple of tools to get it apart, and in short order it was back in service. I bought the gun new in 1973 and I think it has been about 15 or 20 years since it held...

    Short story about a buying experience at Dvor.com. I bought a new Hawke scope from Dvor and got a good deal. The scope shipped and arrived at my home well packaged and in a timely manner on Thursday 9/24. Unfortunately when I opened the package things went downhill rapidly. The Hawke box was...

    RAW TM 1000 loading tray availability?

    I have a new to me RAW TM 1000 in .177 that I will probably be using primarily for benchrest. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a loading tray for this gun. Not finding anything on the RAW website and Mr. Google has not been any help for me. Any help will be appreciated. Chip

    Crosman Mark 1 CO2 Pistol Grips

    I have a neighbor who has an old Crosman Mark 1 CO2 pistol and he asked me if I could find a new set of grips for it. Not knowing a thing about the pistol I went off searching for grips. I found both right and left handed target grips for the gun on Ebay so I asked my neighbor which ones he...

    Not happy with my latest pellet shipment. Issue has been resolved!

    Issue has been resolved, see my last post on page 2. So this is what showed up on my doorstep on Thursday the 4th. Didn't have a good feeling when I picked it up off the ground because all the weight was concentrated at the very bottom of the box. Opened it up and really got irritated...

    Taipan Veteran Standard .22 regulator pressure

    I did a search but came up empty. Wondering where the regulator pressure is set as the gun is shipped from the factory. I have a 22 standard that is shooting 18.13 JSB's very well at 945 FPS (35+ ftlb). Looking at my shot string it appears that the gun doesn't fall off the regulator until...

    Hatsan TactAir 1.6L carbon tank with valve

    Does anyone own and use one of these bottles, if so do you like it? They sell this setup at Field Supply for $258 which seems like a really good deal, about $100 less than from Hatsan direct. 98 CI bottle, 2 gauges one for bottle pressure and one for fill pressure, the fill valve 'looks' like...

    Factory set pressure for regulator on 177 Marauder Field and Target

    Does anyone know (definitively) what the factory pressure setting is for the regulator in the 177 Marauder Field and Target? I called Crosman technical support but couldn't get a firm answer, just a guess. Thanks, Chip.
