    Mo power equals mo money

    So I’ve been immersed in “adult airguns” for about two decades now. I recall that the trend about ten, or so, years ago was that as caliber size increased for a particular model so did price. It seemed that .177 and .22 were priced the same. Then, there was a bump in price from .22 to .25, then...

    Buying scopes from abroad (Krale)

    Hello All, I may put together an order with Krale in the next few days. I am interested in a scope or two from them as well. I forgot the rules regarding the importation of scopes. Has anyone here in the US purchased a scope from Krale? I started the order, and it recognized me as being in the...

    Bucket head

    I haven’t contributed much to a forum in a while. I came across a need for something a little while back, and I want to share this with you all. By no means is this a revelation of any sort.. I downsized from a large tank to a smaller one recently when I had 5 years left on it. While looking...

    New, or new to me?

    Hello All, It’s been a while since I posted on the forum. I thought that y’all may find this subject of interest. I sold my large carbon bottle within the past year to a fella on the forum. All was good with the transaction, but I was left bottleless. I purchased a Hill EC-3000, so I wasn’t...

    Buying abroad (combo deals)

    I have to admit I don’t know much about purchasing complete kits or combo kits from Europe. I have purchased several spares including barrels and triggers from the UK in the past decade or two with no problems. If I am not mistaken, don’t US import laws restrict the importation of scopes? If...

    [WTS] FS: Airhog carbon tank with jubilee valve

    Hello all, I am listing my tank for sale. I purchased this from a yellow member about 8 years ago. It was in pristine condition when I bought it. I have only filled it twice. The secontime was five years ago when I had it hydro tested. I simply don’t shoot enough to justify keeping it. It...

    Tuning RAW & Theoben plenum find

    I found something quite interesting on eBay recently. It appears to be a plenum for these air rifles. I don’t know if the threading on both Rapids and HM (HMX) are the same, but it seems to be promising especially for “HM” platforms in .22 and .25. top

    Compressor break-in advice

    I would like to fill my new Hill compressor with the supplied fluids and run it through to make sure it works. I usually make a few changes of oil on my gas engines (generator, mower, etc.) when new to remove shavings. Do you recommend the same with high pressure air compressors? I came across...

    Hill EC-3000

    Sorry guys, no review here yet. I posted a little over a week ago that my compressor never showed up even though it showed delivered. Well, it arrived a few days later when someone in my large community dropped it off. They were out of town for the weekend. I actually ordered another before it...

    I have no words for the mishap with Fed-Ex today!

    A few days ago I ordered something I’ve been after for a while. Since I moved, air supply has become scarce, and timing was right to order an air compressor from a reputable brand and a supplier I have good experience with. Well of course I have been giddy as a school boy tracking the status of...

    Brand reputation

    Hello All, I have noticed a few fun polls cropping up lately on this forum. I have one for you: Is there a brand (anything airgun related) in which you blindly trust? What I me is, due to notoriety and prior experience is there a brand you would purchase from without hesitation, need to read...

    Dvor returns?

    Is anyone familiar with returns regarding orders placed with Dvor. I recently purchased a scope from them and the glass is well below my expectations. The scope has not been mounted, it is as new. Their return policy states refunds are for store credit, and states further that they don’t...

    Where did all of the

    ... older pcps go? I don’t peruse the classifieds as much as the topics. But one underlying question I have not found the answer to is, “where did all of the older pcp models go”? I am a little more than 15 years into this sport as an adult, and I gotta say I still consider myself a newbie. I...

    Terms and definitions

    Every once in a while, I see the word “weapon” interchanged for airgun. I have a hard time adjusting to this word usage in our sport. Airguns are guns.. sure I get this. And yes, they can inflict damage like their cousins. But, I still have reservations every time I see airguns referred to as...

    Ballistol

    Hello All, I have been ordering the aerosol can for over a decade now. I recently goofed and ordered the can. I read on the can that it can be diluted for different applications. Does anyone have experience with the non-aerosol can? It seems counter intuitive to dilute with water to use on...

    Safe storage

    Hello All, I searched and I found a few old threads regarding relative humidity in gun safes. I purchased a mid level safe from Dicks a year ago, and I recently found a located a space in the garage for it. It’s humid here in the mid-Atlantic east coast, and I want to make sure I store my...

    Screw it!

    In the past I’ve spoken to the best tuners and builders asking them if they could screw cut a barrel of mine. All of them advised against it stating that they were afraid it would alter the choke. At least that is how I remember it, but it’s been about ten years now. Many barrels come from the...

    .22 Slug barrel advice wanted

    Hello All, I have begun the process of sourcing parts and formulating a rebuild plan for one of my RAWs. This build will be for a non-X model. Either way, I am going back and forth whether to build a platform for heavier pellets, or lighter slugs. I would prefer the barrel to be 17”-19”. I...

    RAW HM1000 .22 string info wanted

    Hello All, I’m about go down the path of customizing my first RAW. I searched the web for string data, and I couldn’t find anything. Does anyone with a regged HM1000 or Theoben Rapid have a chrony string numbers they can share with me? I’d like to know if getting JSB 18s in the low 900s, or...
