    FX Chronograph Vendor

    It looks like the price is pretty standard at $199. Is there any particular vendor that would give good follow up support? I suspect, given my digital ineptitude, that i likely will need the after sale help. Thanks. Mike

    Tuning Williams FP-AG-TK and HW35s

    I just bought a new HW35S from AoA and had it shipped to Motordoc for tuning. It was a long trip from CA to Alaska but the rifle arrived Friday. The tune is great and it shoots great with the factory sights. Today I put the peep on it. The included instructions called for removing the top...

    Scopes on SSP 10M Rifles

    I unexpectedly ended up with a FWB 300S and a Beeman 400 [Diana 75]. I am an old duffer and put scopes on each. They shoot better than me from a rest. Then a FWB 602 came to me. It is more difficult to scope because of the loading gate so I left it stock. I have been shooting a lot of 10M...

    Airgun Academy Navigation

    Tom Gaylord, writing as B.B. Pelletier, has created a large and informative body of work on the Pyramyd Air blog of Airgun Academy. But I simply have not unlocked the ability to usefully navigate it. For instance, there is a Categories box that lists topics like "10-M pistol". That link has...

    FWB 602 Questions

    I picked up a FWB 602 Saturday. It used to be a collegiate team rifle. It is missing the rubber butt plate that is vertically adjustable. Any idea where to get a replacement? I would like to put a scope on it. Nikkonos, the fellow that sold a shortened gate kit in the past, sells a kit for...

    Steyr LP5 Cycle Issues

    I am trying out my buddies LP5. It is the PCP version. It has sat for several years. I shot it at the range yesterday and couldn't get it to cycle, if that is the correct term. I loaded the magazine with 5 rounds. The 1st round fired but the magazine didn't advance. I had to manually cock the...

    Diana 75 Scope and Mounts

    I just picked up a very nice Diana 75 [actually it is a Beeman 400]. The seller's kid used it for competition. It came with what seems to be the original sights, including some sort of alternative front sight inserts; I don't know how those work. I shot it today indoors at a 50' range. It...

    Ring Mounts for SWFA

    Just ordered a 10x SWFA SS. I have lots of scopes in 1" tubes, but this is my first non-tactical 30mm tube. The tactical scopes are generally on one piece, QD mounts. This scope will be mounted on a picatinny rail adapter on a FWB 300S. Any recommendations for good mount and whether to go...

    FWB 300S

    Today I picked up a 300S at a local gun show. It was sold as surplus by the local college rifle team some time ago. The seller couldn't see through the target sights and clamped on a cheap scope. but he handed me the complicated rear sight. The price was good and I bought it, not even paying...

    Bipod for Huntsman Regal XL

    I prefer not drill the stock. Anybody use a bipod that doesn't require a permanent attachment to the stock? in the alternative, what is the least obtrusive hard point that people use? Thanks. Mike

    USPO

    I tried searching "mail", "post", and USP, but couldn't find the answer. The question is whether airguns, pellets, tanks, etc, can be mailed? The postal regulations don't' seem to prohibit it [except for no air in tanks], but I want to be sure before I use the mail. Thanks. Mike

    Chronograph/App/Range Finder Recommendations

    There is way more to this sport than I guessed when I bought a PCP rifle. Now I have a HPA compressor and will soon get at CF tank. Pellet ballistics still challenge me. I see references to some apps that calculate a variety of things and can communicate via Bluetooth with a chrony. Any...

    CF Bottles

    I just bought a compressor capable of filling bottles. Right now I am just filling my rifle but would like to be able to refill at the range. I won't be backpacking so the 75 0r 100 cf tanks seem best. The dimensions between the 2 sizes seem similar. Any reason not to go with the bigger...

    Ballistics Chart for Pellets

    There are plenty of ballistic charts for firearms to establish a 200 or 300 yard zero with a specific caliber and bullet weight. The information generally is something like 1.5" high at 100 yards, right on at 200, and 6.5" low at 300 or some variation. Pretty standard stuff. Is there any...

    Rookie looking for HPA compressor

    I am buying my buddies Daystate Regal tomorrow. My first airgun [I know, what a way to jump into the sport]. He has a Nomad 11. I really don't want to maintain another piece of equipment and hoped to just by a big CF tank and pay folks to fill it. No such luck. I live in the Far North...
