    N/A Least problematic air rifle brand for newbies

    I have an air force talon and condor. Dead simple, hardly anything in then to fail. Valve and tank are on the outside, so super easy to fix or replace. Not much to the inside of them. Light and fairly durable. Not the best shooter but quite well enough for a beginner. Parts interchange across...

    Going to florida

    Take a look at the Florida Wildlife Commissionn FWC website, tells you all about hunting rules here. There's some info on airgun hunting there. Also google Florida Statues and or local ordnances for the county you'll be in because some locals have rules about airgun use.

    Is Walther Reign barrel choked?

    Yeah I was concerned with accuracy loss. I've cut and crowned and modified a ton of powder burners barrels and never lost any accuracy, just wondered if it was choked and likely to suffer.

    Is Walther Reign barrel choked?

    Anyone have any idea if the US version, Reign UTX has choked barrel? I'm asking about the one with the dumb permanent moderator on it.

    AirArms S500 XS Problem

    Yes, after refill it shoots great. The gauge never budges, totally stuck in the middle whether dead empty or full up, hence my warranty inquiry issue above. Thank goodness it's just the gauge though, as the gun is phenomenal otherwise. As are all of my AAs.

    Why dry air is so important

    This is why I try prefer airguns with easily replaceable bottles with valve included. If it get's ruined from the nasty Florida air, I can replace it no problem. I haven't had to yet but my AirForce Talon and Condor and my multiple Hatsans have easily removable and fairly cheap tanks and tubes -...

    AirArms S500 XS Problem

    The Air Arms guages are supposed to be good and they cost about 5x what others charge, but this one wasn't good I guess. They are BSPP which is a little nicer as well. Funny thing I called to get a new gauge and was told it was not covered under the new gun warranty. They said it only covers mfg...

    BSA goldstar se 10 shot "new" with a little problem

    If you get the receiver off the tube, the detent ball will be exposed. In fact, it wil probably fall right out. Look for XTX BSA videos on youtube, they take lots of BSAs apart in detail for you.

    BSA goldstar se 10 shot "new" with a little problem

    Maybe drop the trigger group and the hammer will fall down?? I haven't rebuilt one of these in about two years but I think I had the trigger group off last time I did. My 4 BSAs are running great otherwise I'd take one down and try to remember all the steps.

    AirArms S500 XS Problem

    Well I shot a few more and it air dumped. I think maybe it's fine but was way below the reg and out of air, but the guage is wrong. It is still showing 180bar even though it dumped. So hopefully it's fine and the gauge is bad making me think it had plenty of air. Will fill in the morning and...

    AirArms S500 XS Problem

    It always popped air because the shroud has vent holes right at the rear very close to the breech making it hard to tell if it's that or the seal, but good idea and I will check the oring.

    BSA goldstar se 10 shot "new" with a little problem

    Not sure if there's a reg on those. The typical SE or Ultra has no reg. They are not easy to work on IMO and I've done a ton of work on them. You have to remove the bolt handle from the back including remove the top screw above the rear scope rail area. Once the bolt handle is out, there's a...

    AirArms S500 XS Problem

    They have a simple transfer port knob, which does not seem like it could go wrong assuming it's like others and is just a narrowing groove cut into it. But that is a though though, as it shoots on high much like it's on low. I'll try to shoot it down and monitor the power. I support PA and...

    AirArms S500 XS Problem

    I have a brand new S500 Carbine XS, which I bought from PA about 2 years ago. Only shot maybe 10 pellets through it, when it first arrived. It worked perfectly and on high power it was shooting properly. Now I pulled it out after a year, still holding air fully all the while. But with a full...

    Puncher Breaker barrel question

    I cut the barrel shroud down to about an inch, used the cap and with the inch long shroud with the barrel band. Barrel doesn't seem to be bent, it was bought new from PA and have barely used it.

    Puncher Breaker barrel question

    I have a Kral PB in 25 and when I take the barrel band off, the barrel drops down about 2mm. So in other words, the barrel band puts a fair amount of upward pressure on the barrel. Not sure if this is normal. I've loosened the barrel screws first etc. to see if it relaxes it but the barrel fits...
