Alkin is the way to go . As for manufactures of big bore you seem to have hit the major. Airforce probably has the most accessible/ affordable and high power options available. Plus they leave you plenty of room to tinker. AOA has the Bush Buck which is an off the shelf rifle with...

From one airgunholic to another... Pump the brakes! Its easy to be a kid in candy store and fill the gun safe with all kinds of cool toys ... but you will buy a wrong item or 2 in the rush. I have been shooting big bores for over 20 years and own many different calibers. It seems the 45/ 50...

Its a dream of many airgunners to see let alone shoot a Girardoni. I own a 44 cal. DAQ/BBB Liege Lock . It is a modern reproduction of an antique rifle. Very cool and unique to shoot. Just a side note these are no longer in production and Dennis will not make anymore. Duke

You can never go too big with airguns! As long as noise is not a determing factor. My favorite bigbore to shoot is my 58 cal. Yes, they are air hogs and if you buy cast bullets it gets costly. But I own dozens of bullet molds in many different weights and calibers and many pounds of lead. So in...

I have a 909 Career 22 and the only projectiles that feed an shoot well are the H&N Rabbit Magnum II which are slug shaped. Duke 

Take a look at the Ataman M2R bullpup in .357 It is similar in style as the Cricket and I believe it has a better reputation. Duke

I was speaking about air rifles in general. You are correct... not with a springer. -Duke

Could be many issues.... Why did the first owner sell the Benjamin? Is the barrel messed up ? Or some other issues with the rifle? What scopes & rings did you try? The F4 is a entry level budget gun. It can be challenging getting top performance out of an $80 dollar gun. You may want to...

How True! Its been going on for decades. I remember back in the 90's everything was about FPS. A manufacturer would claim his springer would shoot 900 fps. Little did anyone know that was with a zinc tipped plastic pellet! - Duke

I use Nitrogen to fill my guns and rent a 6k tank. The tanks are a beast and need at least 2 people to move. Make sure you follow safey protocols and secure the tank with a chain or other approved restraint. As for a gauge , I do not have a regulated one. I just take my time and fill slowly...

I know airsoft uses the tiny softball sized CF tanks. I would be curious to see if this unit would work on larger SCBA or SCUBA tanks? It does look like a nice unit. -Duke

Depends ... pellets or bullets? Pellets: WAR Flex 30 Bullets: DAQ 308 - Duke

I love small compact " backpack " guns. Have a few powder burner versions. But have also been interested in a air rifle one. I stumbled across this one online, looks promising but the manufacture has some horrible reviews and multiple customer service issues. As much as I like the gun , I...

In the back room of of my jewelry store. -Duke

There were 2 obscure airguns I have come across over the years. One was like RB-AOA said ,it was an air cane. The only difference being that it was a modern build, that actually shot the disposable C02 cartridge out the end like a small rocket! The other " gun" was a short CO2 blunderbuss...

There are lots of obscure airgun manufacturers. Most of them are small companies, or custom makers. Some tried there hand in the airgun business , only to go belly up . Others just create bespoke rifles in small quantities. I have been shooting & collecting airguns for over 20 years. And...

Pure lead has a BHN of 5; wheelweights are 9; 10-1 lead-tin alloy is 11.5; linotype is 22. BHN of 6 should be fine. -Duke

ICasting tips: Invest in a quality bottom pour lead furnace. Test your lead ( pure lead vs. Alloys). Cast in a well ventilated place. Happy casting! -Duke

On a funny side note. I went to one of Gary Barnes bigbore shooting events back in the early 2000's. And he had all of his bullets swimming in a pool of motor oil! Strange but true! -Duke
