    Other Air tanks?

    Would oxygen tanks be useable (emptied of oxygen and filled with air of course) to charge PCP guns? I can get a bunch of them. I don't own a PCP guns yet, but I might soon.

    Benjamin Normal on Benjamin pump guns?

    I'm thinking about buying my first (used) Benjamin multi pumper, guessing it's from the 80s or 90s, wood stocked gun, looks like new, in .177 caliber. I can't believe I've never had one. I've been shooting air guns for 50+ years. I've been watching vids and reading about them for a few days now...

    Other Two for sale near me

    The local gun shop, that deals mostly in muzzleloaders and other vintage firearms, also gets in air guns occasionally. I have bought several there. Currently they have two I have handled and thought about, however I think they are a little high on the prices and will not negotiate. Both guns are...

    Other My two latest

    Here are two I recently found. The top one is a Daisy model 120 and the other is a Chinese side lever. Both .177 caliber. The Chinese gun shoots great but the Daisy, for some reason unknown to me, will not shoot a pellet thru the barrel. Everything functions as is should and no damage, at the...

    Umarex Umarex Legends MP40 questions

    I have one of the Umarex Legends MP40 semi and full auto guns. Mine is evidently an early one as the magazine has no latch to hold the follower & spring back when loading the BBs. Anybody else have the same problem? Ever tried to modify the magazine to cure the problem? Anybody know if the later...

    N/A Co2 SealPro

    Anybody on here used the SealPro sealing caps that are supposed to seal leaky Co2 guns? They are mini caps that slip on the end of a 12oz cartridge and seal it.

    Scope out of dope

    The Beeman 500 I just bought used shoots great but when I tried to zero the scope it runs out of adjustment before I can move the point of impact far enough to the left. It's grouping about 4" to the right at 20-25 yards. Any suggestions?

    N/A barra 1858 & Umarex Ruger Mk IV

    I went to Tractor Supply a few days ago and bought a Barra 1858 pistol. Fun gun. I went back yesterday to get a Umarex Ruger Mk IV but they were out of stock. I should have bought the MK IV first. They had plenty of both the other day but now all the Rugers are gone but plenty of the Barras left.

    Other Barra Remington

    I just bought one of Barra's new Remington tributes. It's about what I expected to get in a cheap Co2 powered handgun. At 20 yards I can shoot 3-4" groups, but it shoots about 8" high. It's mostly plastic of course, and very lightweight. I have several of Barra's model 1866 lever action pump...

    Beeman Two flea market finds

    Here are two recent flea market finds. The rifle is a Beeman 500 and the pistol is a Daisy 1200. The Beeman shoots fine but I have not yet tried the Daisy.

    No bargains in used airguns I guess

    I just realized, or decided, after attending a local show, that there are no good deals to be had by buying non-working air guns and making them work. I saw several guns of different descriptions at the show for $20 and less. But seal kits and parts are so expensive that they are not worth...

    Interesting buckle I saw

    I went to my favorite local gun shop yesterday to buy some ammo for my latest muzzleloader and saw this among their stock of belt buckles. I didn't buy it yet, because I don't own a Crosman 73, yet.

    Springer scope?

    I bought this scope today, cheap, and plan to put it on one of my springers. Wonder how it will do and hold up?

    Scope for one of my airguns?

    I have several guns that originally came with scopes but now have open sights, and a couple with no scope, and no sights. So today when I found this scope for $15, I bought it. Anybody using one? Reckon how it will do on one of my springers?

    Muzzleloader replica

    I want to get started on a project that's been in my head for a long time. I want to take a break barrel springer rifle and convert it into a tribute to an antique, Revolutionary war era muzzleloading firearm. The action will have to be restocked and the barrel shrouded with hexagonal tubing. I...

    which scope

    I have this Swiss TG1 that I bought a few years ago, without a scope. It is a very good shooting rifle with open sights but now I think I'd like to add a scope, without spending a lot of money. I seldom shoot farther than 50 yards, 75 would be the max. What size & power scope does everyone...

    Stock/action interchange

    I wonder how interchangeable actions & barrels are between common brands of break barrel rifles. Without having a cabinet full to compare it appears that barrels & actions of a lot of break barrel rifles are physically the same. Anybody found this to be true?

    lead BBs in rifled barrels

    I have several airguns, pistols and rifles, in .177 caliber that will shoot pellets and/or BBs. I will not shoot steel BBS because I don't want to damage the rifling. I'm thinking about trying some lead BBs but no one in my area stocks them. I can order them but was wondering about BB size shot...

    Daisy 179

    I bought, for $2, this model 179 today at a local flea mkt. It appears to have been in a drawer with candy. The "action" works but the ejector/loader is missing. I'd like to know the dimensions so I can reproduce it.

    another Barra 1866

    The first time I saw the Barra 1866 rifles I loved it, so I bought two. I've shot one quite a bit and it is my favorite pumper-upper. The second one, I checked well for condition, put it away, still in the box. A few days ago, when I went to my favorite local pawn shop, they had another new one...
