In August purchased the above from Charles Frear. Have not used and been in case. Life Changes so selling the set-up for $1800. Cost new over $2500 and you know Charles sets the guns up right. PM me if interested or at [email protected]

There is a vid somewhere where a 392 was tested at different pumps between 2-8 and the fps after 5 pumps was only 1-5 fps higher per pump if I can remember so the comment here about only gaining a couple fps after so many pumps was correct. Up close at about 5-7 yds I have killed squirrels on a...

I have a 1959 Blue Streak that I need to rebuild and recently got a 392S from Baker. The literature on the new 392 says 8 pumps just like the older one. The differences are obviously the synthetic stock, different safely placement compared to the '59 and different trigger feel. The comb on the...

Got a 392 .22 synthetic from Baker. Also got his mount which makes mounting very easy. When I ordered both he installed the mount on mine which saved me a lot of time. Mounted an old Nikon Prostaff 3-9 which I had on a older 10-22. It shoulders fine and the scope looks like it was made for it...

Went down to Charlies' and picked up the new FC 550. While we were there Charlie took the time to mount the scope on the correct Burris rings at the correct height for my hold. He then took the time to adjust the hammer spring and get the velocity to print dead on with the pellets I am going to...

Chuck, I also always said do not look through someone's really nice glass if you can not afford it. If you do you will never be happy with what you have. What everyone said was true but I knew that going in. You only go around once in life so why not get what you want as life is indeed short ...

Well, took the 20 minute drive to see Charlie today. I will say that I was impressed with him and the Zboria FC. Charlie took all the time I needed. He answered all the questions I had and then went over the gun from muzzle to pad. He set a target up at 40-50yds for a trial. I had seen the...

Dale, That is good news. It would be nice not to have to get another. It would also seem that given the slower airgun pellet velocity and lack of powder that the rimfire suppressor would not need cleaning or at least not as much as it might with a powder firearm. On my CZ .22 452 it is extremely...

Bobby, Thanks for your assessment as well. All this info helps me understand airguns a bit better. If I can find a thread adapter I will give it a try just to see if it really helps and how much if any. If I do, will report here just to let folks know as not sure how many have tried a powder...

Lieutenant, Thanks for that explanation. I knew that powder burners developed much more heat however not knowing airguns well I did not know the difference in the construction between the two suppressors. Now it is understandable why they are shaped differently. Was headed to see Charlie of...

Just curious if the above would be effective. I have a Sparrow suppressor and yes it is legal. Wondering if I could use it on a air rifle. Since legally suppressors are registered and not gun specific I was wondering if it would be effective at suppressing an air rifle's noise. I know the...

Intense, I do not blame you as I would avoid Atlanta traffic as well. I have not been through Atlanta in a year and unless I head north on 85 I do not have to deal with any traffic. There are 3 folks that could do work on my car in the Atlanta area but but I spend an extra hour and drive to...

Intenseaty, I guess that would be me...I should be gone by the afternoon but then do not know how far your drive is. I thought being 20-25 minutes from a good dealer and trouble shooter would be great however I may find out it is indeed a double edged sword.

Taking the 25 minute ride down to see Charlie Monday morning to shoot and discuss the FC 550. I may have gone down the rabbit hole! Do appreciate all the helpful comments and suggestions I have gotten here. Will let folks know what I think after shooting the 550 and talking with Charlie. But...

I just ordered a Benjamin 392 from Baker. I found Dennis Baker to be extremely responsive to all my e-mails and shipped within one day. Given how some folks are not responsive lately I would highly recommend Baker.

Saltlake, Thanks as they do indeed seem more challenging than powder guns. The ability to have quiet pest control that does not travel 3/4 mile or more drew me to them. I have a nice little CZ 452 .22 with Leupold that is about as quiet when shooting CBee's or CCI Quiets especially when it is...

Thanks, Your opinion of Charley is the same as I have heard from everyone else. As for power, given I am only shooting 25-40 yds in my yard I think it will have more than enough power out of the box. If the situation ever changes then I can have Charley work his magic and get me another 100 fps...

Chuck, I will certainly check them out. Given that they are cheaper than the FN Wildcat it seems like a good buy. Since Charlie is only 30 minutes or less from me may slide down to see him next week. Hate to get too close to that slippery slope of purchasing. Hard to handle and not buy.

Saltlake, Thanks for taking the time to explain how they work and what may be the pitfalls with the F&T and cheaper guns. I realize that there has to be trade offs with each gun but knowing airguns is much different than firearms. Spent 60+ years learning the firearm platform but airguns are a...

Have not met Charlie yet but may slide over next week. If I pull the trigger on the Zboria there is no doubt I will buy from Charlie. Was out sighting in my new Benjamin 392 in my backyard today and realized once again how nice a good trigger would be. For squirrels, the pumping is not bad...
