    Tuning Grip springs for Crosman automatic rifles

    I own 2 of Crosman's R1s, and an A4P. They are a tremendous amount of fun. Naturally, I need to dress these babies up a bit, including changing from the hard plastic grips to some nicer rubberized grips. On removing the OEM grips, each grip has 2 springs associated with it. These seem to at...

    Why do you still shoot springers?

    I shoot them for different purposes, as I would guess a lot (most?) people do. When I want to drill hole in hole at distance for the sake of precision, PCPs get me there fast. When I want the zen of break/cock/press pellet into breach/ close/shoulder/settle body/settle mind/ shoot/pause/look/...

    Ruger Mark IV Pellet Pistol

    Even that bit of info will help. Thank you, @headshot.

    Ruger Mark IV Pellet Pistol

    What did it take to get the trigger to settle down? The trigger on mine is so stiff that I can’t tell a thing about accuracy because my sight picture gets ruined as I struggle to fire the doggone thing. I have decided to take it apart and see what the problem is. Any tips would be much...

    Advice on invited presentation to powder burner club

    I REALLY appreciate this input - these comments are exactly what I was looking for, spanning the spectrum of approaches to show & tell. I'm really excited about this. It's coming up on December 11. I'm proud of our shooting sports - powder & air. But I find airguns are just so much more...

    Advice on invited presentation to powder burner club

    Through a series of happy coincidences, I have been enthusiastically invited to give a presentation on airguns at a local rod & gun club. My general plan is to spend a little time going over a little history (especially the Girandoni), safety considerations, ammo types (pellets, BBs, slugs)...

    North East Airguns First Impression

    Thank you for this thoughtful, detailed and specific review, @Ezana4CE. Even though it is only about one order, it is much more informative than a complaint about an untaped/resealed tin of pellets. This is a great example of why I read AGN. The community is helpful in so many ways, from the...

    CARM magazines

    I’ve heard a lot of really good things about his products. I went to order some mags on his website but couldn’t get it to accept either of my average, everyday, normal US credit cards, and I didn’t see a PayPal option. Darko said I may have to call my credit card company and get them to okay a...

    Tuning Sighting sig mcx .177 red dot

    Another thing I would wonder about is if there’s some defect on your MCX’s Picatinny rail causing misalignment. If you have another gun, it might be worth it to see if you can zero the red dot on your other gun. That would help you narrow down one way or the other if the problem is on the MCX or...

    If you could only have two airguns…

    Tough choice, I have each one for a different reason. Of the “serious” Airguns, it would be my Prod and my HW 44. Easy to care for, never malfunction, and crazy accurate below 50 yards. For pure fit/finish & feel, my 6” Dan Wesson 715 and my CZ 75. (Please, no laughing. They do what I ask them...

    Weihrauch HW75

    I have an HW 75 - really like the iron sights, but it shoots so well that I wanted to see what would happen if I added a red dot or a scope. Here is my measurement of the rail, and the technique Steveoo describes: Adding the adaptor (UTG): Attaching the red dot: I just love those...

    What is the The Airgun Geeks Podcast

    Agree - HIGHLY recommend. The discussions are interesting, and very informative. It's especially great for when I am seasoning a new barrel with a big tin of pellets.

    Little things can make a big difference

    JungleShooter, thank you for another excellent table. I had not seen this one yet. These have got to represent a lot of work, and I have found all of your tables useful when it came time to make purchases. Terrific contribution to the sport!

    Crosman C41

    Great shooting, from both the pistol and you! And thank you for another strong contribution to our knowledge of air pistols, especially these beautiful old girls. I just gotta say I love your Abe t-shirt. My poodle sports a mohawk:

    Watch & Discuss the Brocock Bantam Sniper HP .22!!

    I like that phone scope - it gave great images. Of course, having that Aztec Emerald didn’t hurt things in the image department a bit either… A rifle of that level of quality certainly deserves to have the best possible imaging and recording systems. I’m sold!

    I have many pistols but this one's my favorite

    Very nice indeed! Congratulations on a great addition to your collection. What do you think of its trigger? And I notice you have it scoped. Any thoughts about its irons?

    How co2 cartridges are made

    Absolutely fascinating. For someone with no mechanical engineering background (me), this was a great post!

    Q.C. vs normal upkeep vs modding vs tuning to perfection

    Recently there's been some discussion of maybe insufficient attention to QC on the part of manufacturers. With an occasional exception, I haven't needed any major work on my stable of babies. (The Aspen being a notable exception, and kudos to Pyramid Air for their fantastic customer service.)...

    Zoraki pellet pistol shipment nears American waters

    Thanks, MoJoe1952! Your post is of great interest to this avid collector and shooter of air pistols. I think this baby is going to find good company alongside my HW44, and HW 75. I just put my order in.

    Which optic for me & my Leshiy 2?

    One more question: @Peskadot, what mount are you using with your Nightforce in the photo? How well zeroed do you stay with the QD on it?
