    HW/Weihrauch My old 55 still has it

    I haven't been shooting at all lately(too busy). I finished up my day with some time and a bit of light left so I grabbed my old HW55 MM, a set of sticks and a stool. I was shooting old JSB 8.4s that were in a pouch. Aim point was the big orange dot. I started at 10 yards. The pellets just kept...

    FX Leaky Royale fixes itself?

    Hi All, I live at sea level-I took my Royale up to around 3000' to do some hunting. Temps were in the 30s and the gun spent the night in the camper of my truck. It was at 200 bar when I left home. When I pulled it out next day it had leaked down to 100 bar. I filled it and shot a little, put it...

    Benjamin How about some feedback from Semi-auto Marauder owners?

    Hi, All, I have a buddy who REALLY wants a semi-auto Marauder. How are you Marauder owners liking yours? I'm interested in how fiddly it is to keep it cycling reliably and of course, accuracy. He's kinda ham fisted and I don't want to get him into a messy situation. I am trying to steer him into...

    Have I gone blind or is Airguns of Arizona's banner ad gone?

    I was going to send a link to one of my buddies and couldn't find AOA's ad on the banner. It kind of surprises me.

    First moa at 100 with pellets, straight from the tin

    I had few minutes before sunset today to shoot. Set up a target at 30 yards and one at 100, took one shot at 30 to check my zero, then picked a spot on the 100 yard target to see what the wind was doing. I thought what the heck and shot four more. It looked pretty good from the bench, so I shot...

    Not pretty-but functional, Trash can Sheridan gets new sights

    This old Sheridan came to me like this- it was in very rough shape and obviously had been abused. It wouldn't hold air but would fire if pumped up and shot quickly. I first tested to see if it would group-surprisingly it shot well. I found a used stock and forearm, resealed and improvised a...

    Fx Royale question..

    Hi, All, Now that it's colder in California I occasionally hear a whistle from my Royale after I take a shot. It's regulated and I wonder if that's the reg resetting or if it's something I should be concerned about. The gun shoots fine and only seems to make noise the first few shots. I do dry...

    For you Sheridan model C owners-how tall is the front sight from the top of the barrel?

    Hi Folks, I'm trying to bring my Model C to something like a stock front sight so I can use the Williams peep designed for the Model C. Some Einstein of a previous owner broke off the front sight blade. I improvised a front sight and peep, but the front sight is plastic and eventually broke. I...

    Sling for Fx Royale?

    Hi, All, I'm looking to sling my FX Royale and am wondering if there's any reason not use a clamp and swivel on the carbon fiber bottle. Is there a possibility the weight could damage the bottle? I know I could install a front swivel in the forestock but I don't think the gun would balance as...

    Lucky? group-R9 30 yards

    Just pulled out R9, shot a group offhand- nothing special. Decided try one at 30 yards from the bench resting on my open palm on a support. Must have been luck- the following group was so so. 5 shots

    FX Royale question-what's the reg setting in .22 caliber?

    I'm just getting started with my new to me FX Royale. I'd like to get a ballpark idea of what the reg setting is. I know it's best to do a shot string and figure it out, BUT I'm running low on air and the dive shop is an hour away so if I had an idea of when the gun goes off reg that would be a...

    Morning rabbit hunt turns out to be a quail hunt

    I headed out this foggy morning with my trusty R9 and a pouch of pellets in search of a rabbit or two for the pot. Rabbits have been very scarce this season after last season's bonanza. About half way to what I call "Cottontail corner" I heard the alarm clicks of a quail covey. Crouching low I...

    Tuning Air Arms s410 O-ring help

    Hi All, My AA S410 has a leak between the L-shaped pressure gauge block and the air tube. The old seals are hard and square on the edges, making it a challenge to figure the size for replacements. There are 3 seals, a large one for the pressure gauge, one between the block and air tank, and one...

    HFT question

    I've been wondering if the HFT rules permit you to lower your magnification for offhand shots and increase again for supported shots. I am not too steady holding offhand at 16x. Thanks, John

    Tuning Akela wandering POI/accuracy issues

    Hi, All, I've had this Akela for a while. It will sometimes group nicely and then it'll start spraying pellets. I pulled the end cap off and there's a gray streak that looks like clipping. Has anyone else had this issue, and what should I do to fix it? Next thing I will try is shooting it...

    Took the 'trash can' Sheridan for a stroll today

    Hi All, Seeing all the fun Septic Death is having with the oldies I decided to dust off my old Sheridan this evening. It was a tad chilly here in California and I figured the pumping would keep me warm. This gun was found in a trash can by a buddy, it looked like this- It would pump and fire...

    Some more Mark 1 fun

    Another sunny day in California-I set my pistol and Co2 cart out in the sun to warm up while I had lunch-rabbit over rice! Set the target at 20 yards and shot the top of the diamond to see what the holdover from a 10 yard zero would be-turned out I could hold right on. I shot some 5-shot...
