Gents, Quick question…does a good tune equal a low standard deviation? Or, putting it a different way, does a low standard deviation equal a good tune? Tuning a .25 caliber M3 and it got me to wondering. Numbers are below. Target velocity was 890 with the 34 grain JSB. Thanks! Justin

Yep…VC. Ol’ Victor Charlie. Or, in the words of the world-renowned varmint hunter Carl Spackler, Varmint Cong. I wish I had a really interesting story about this one. You know…”I had the wind in my face and if I kept to the shadows…” followed by my all-time favorite gun writer line, “I was 700...

My apologies to John Steinbeck… Gents, My Brocock Sniper Sahara driven, .177 caliber crusade against my arch nemesis the California ground squirrel rages on, much to the chagrin of the ground squirrels. I’m sure you’re wondering why the thread title is the same as Steinbeck’s literary...

Gents, Those of you who pay any attention to the occasional drivel I post know that I am a big fan of the Brocock Sniper platform. Given this, and the fact that L. Leon had pulled ahead of me in the Ultimate Brocock Fanboy competition, I quite logically concluded that I should have another one...

For some reason I can’t start a thread in General Discussion, so it goes here… To whomever called into AoA this morning and bought the sub-12 Weihrauch HW100 .177 from the used section while I HAD IT IN MY SHOPPING CART AND WAS CHECKING OUT, I hope you get fleas in your armpits!! Justin

Gents, Does anybody know Jimmy, aka “Shooting NewB”, personally? I’ve tried getting a hold of him through PM but haven’t heard back from him. I am wanting to know if he is still making the 3D printed new flip style magazines for the Brococks. I know one other member here is interested as...

I have a much better idea on how this issue could be handled, and know where we could wrangle some volunteers. This one keeps me awake at night thinking of the possibilities... https://nypost.com/2021/07/16/drones-battle-65k-rats-that-invaded-marlon-brandos-island/ Justin

Gents, Spotted the first marauder of the year here on the property dining on the War Departments plants and flowers. Upon discovery, he immediately un-assed the area for the safety of the wood pile. This, of course, meant Jihad. A couple of hours later, he was seen to be kicking it in front...

Gents, After years of trouble free service, my Cricket carbine finally had a hiccup. I went to add some air to it yesterday and noted it wouldn't take on any air. The fill valve on the tank checked OK, and I gave the fill port a Q-Tipping, but still no dice. When trying to add air, the...

Gents, A couple of months ago, I had a gopher take up residence in my side yard and set about his destructive ways. I immediately declared Jihad and went after him with all manner of traps, smoke bombs, and whatever else I could think of. No dice. He literally destroyed the side lawn...

Gents, Dealing with a new to me Sniper HR that is exhibiting some suspected regulator issues. I de-gassed and pulled the regulator for inspection and found the below. The bottom of this part, on which the little plastic disc sits on, has a nub sticking up. I thought that the surfaces on...

Gents, My Impact wasn't cocking, so after checking the trigger, I moved on to the reloading block and hammer pin. Sho' nuff, it was bent and where the pin contacts the hammer was peened-up a bit. I was able to turn the pin about 1/8th of a turn and get fresh, un-peened, full diameter pin...

Gents, There is all kinds of info on the forums here about tuning the Brocock Bantam Sniper HR/XR up for peak performance. But has anybody tuned one down...say to about the 12-15 foot pound range? If so, how did it work out? I have read where the factory regulator doesn't perform well set at...

Gents, This evening I installed a Huma regulator in my Impact and thought everything was hunky-dory until I noted the regulator set screw sat proud, or high, on the regulator housing...with a mere 100 on the regulator gauge. It sticks above the housing by about 1/32 or so. This is a no-go per...

Gents, Of late, I have spent most of my waking hours watching rat hunting videos on YouTube, so much so that I'm beginning to talk with a British accent, and use words like "cracking", and terms like "a useful piece of kit". Gawd... does ratting look like about as much fun as one could have...

Gents, I have decided that I need a new set of bipod shooting sticks, preferably with the slick-as-snot pistol/trigger set-up. What say you? What are you guys using, and what do you recommend? Thanks, Justin

Hi...my name is Justin. And I'm an air gun addict. I have .25 Cricket carbine that does everything I ask of it, yet I have an overwhelming desire to own an Edgun .25 Matador Long. And a Vulcan II in .25. And there is a couple of FX's I'd like to take a look at... Be honest...
